          SECTION 2.04. Revolving Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each
Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit advances (“Revolving Advances”)
to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal
amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the
sum of (i) the L/C Obligations then outstanding and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the
Swingline Advances
then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. During
the Revolving Commitment Period the Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing,
prepaying the Revolving Advances in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Advances may from time to time be Eurodollar Rate
Advances or Base

18

 

Rate Advances, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Agent in
accordance with Section 2.05 and Section 2.13. The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving
Advances on the Revolving Termination Date.

          SECTION 2.05. Procedure for Revolving Borrowing. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing shall
be made on notice, pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing, given not later than (x) 12:00 P.M. (New York
City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing (or such shorter
period as may otherwise be agreed to by the Arrangers) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of
Eurodollar Rate Advances or (y) 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed
Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the
Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier. Each such Notice of
Borrowing shall be by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing, or telecopier, and shall specify
therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing,
(iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of
Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each borrowing under the
Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of Base Rate Advances,
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Unused
Revolving Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of
Eurodollar Rate Advances, $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;
provided, that the Swingline Lender may request, on behalf of the Borrower, borrowings
under the Revolving Commitments that are Base Rate Advances in other amounts pursuant to Section
2.07. Each Lender shall, before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing make
available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in
same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. After the Agent’s receipt of such
funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Agent will
make such funds available to the Borrower at the Agent’s address referred to in Section 9.02.

          (b) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of
any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate
Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by
such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of
Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, including, without
limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of
the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the
Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such
failure, is not made on such date.

          (c) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any
Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of
such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent
on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02or subsection (a) of this Section
2.05, as the case may be, and the Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the
extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such
Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is

19

 

made
available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of
the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing
and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the
Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as
part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

          (d) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the
date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to
make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.06. Swingline Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower
under the Revolving Commitments from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period by making
swing line advances (“Swingline Advances”) to the Borrower; provided that (i) the
aggregate principal amount of Swingline Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the
Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Advances outstanding at any
time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Advances, may exceed
the Swingline Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the Swingline
Lender shall not make, any Swingline Advance if, after giving effect to the making of such
Swingline Advance, the aggregate amount of the Unused Revolving Commitments would be less than
zero. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by
borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
Swingline Advances shall be Base Rate Advances only.

          (b) The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each
Swingline Advance on the earlier of the Revolving Termination Date and the first date after such
Swingline Advance is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two
Business Days after such Swingline Advance is made; provided that on each date that a
Revolving Advance is borrowed, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Advances then outstanding.

          SECTION 2.07. Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Advances.
(a) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Advances it shall give
the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing by a Notice of
Borrowing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 2:00
P.M., New York City time, on the proposed date of the Borrowing), specifying (i) the amount to be
borrowed and (ii) the requested date of the proposed
Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period). Each
borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date
of the Borrowing specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Advances, the Swingline Lender shall
make available to the Agent at the Applicable Lending Office an amount in immediately available
funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Advance to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Agent
shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Advance available to the

20

 

Borrower on such date of the
Borrowing by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the Agent on such date of
the Borrowing in immediately available funds.

          (b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute
discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to
act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 1:00
P.M., New York City time, request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby
agrees to make, a Revolving Advance, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Advances (the “Refunded Swingline
Advances”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each
Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Advance available to the Agent at the
Applicable Lending Office in immediately available funds, not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City
time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Advances
shall be immediately made available by the Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the
Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Advances. The Borrower irrevocably
authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Agent (up to the amount
available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline
Advances to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in
full such Refunded Swingline Advances.

          (c) If prior to the time a Revolving Advance would have otherwise been made pursuant to
Section 2.07(b), one of the events described in Section 7.01(e) shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline
Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Advances may not be made as contemplated by Section
2.07(b), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Advance was to have been made
pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.07(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating
interest in the then outstanding Swingline Advances by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount
(the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Advances then
outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Advances.

          (d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender
such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account
of the Swingline Advances, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline
Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the
period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in
the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata
portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal
of and interest on all Swingline Advances then due); provided, however, that
in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such
Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to
it by the Swingline Lender.

          (e) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Advances referred to in Section 2.07(b) and
to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.07(b) shall be

21

 

absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline
Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other
conditions specified in Article VI, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the
Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Revolving Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or
event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

          SECTION 2.08. Fees. (a) Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a facility fee on the aggregate amount of such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment as in effect from time to time from the Effective Date until the
Revolving Termination Date (or any earlier date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate) (or,
after the termination of the Revolving Commitments, its Revolving Extensions of Credit) in
accordance with the Applicable Pricing Grid, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each
March, June, September and December, commencing March 31, 2008, and on the Revolving Termination
Date (or any earlier date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate) and thereafter payable on
demand.

          (b) Letters of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Agent, a letter of
credit fee, to be shared ratably among Revolving Lenders, on the aggregate face amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect
with respect to the Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the Applicable Pricing Grid, (ii)
to the Issuing Lender, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the face
amount of each Letter of Credit and (iii) to the Issuing Lender, for its own account, customary
administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges. Such letter of credit and
fronting fees shall be payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September
and December, commencing March 31, 2008, and on the Revolving Termination Date (or any earlier date
on which the Revolving Commitments terminate) and thereafter payable on demand.

          (c) Agent’s Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account such fees as
may from time to time be agreed between the Borrower and the Agent.

          SECTION 2.09. Optional Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. The Borrower shall
have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or
permanently reduce ratably in part the Unused Revolving Commitments of the Lenders,
provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted
if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Advances and
Swingline Advances made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of
Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments, and provided further that each partial
reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof.

22

 

          SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Advances. (a) The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for
the ratable account of each Term Lender the aggregate principal amount of the Term Advances made by
such Lender on the dates and in the amounts as set forth in Section 2.03.

the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Advances made by such Lender and
then outstanding.

          (c) The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.14 shall be made, first,
to Base Rate Advances and, second, to Eurodollar Rate Advances. Each prepayment of the
Advances under Section 2.14 (except in the case of Revolving Advances that are Base Rate Advances
and Swingline Advances) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on
the amount prepaid.

          SECTION 2.11. Interest on Advances. (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower
shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender from the
date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per
annum:

     (i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base
Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in
effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears
quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such
periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

     (ii) Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a
Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest
Period for such Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest

of more than three months, on the day that is three months after the first day of
such Interest Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted
or paid in full.

          (b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default under Section 7.01(a), the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall,

annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) to
the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable
hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount

and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Agent.

          SECTION 2.12. Interest Rate Determination. (a) Each Reference Bank agrees to furnish
to the Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each Eurodollar Rate. If any of the
Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Agent for the purpose of
determining any such interest rate, the Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of
timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Bank. The Agent shall give prompt notice to
the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes
of Section 2.11(a)(i) or Section 2.11(a)(ii), and the rate, if any, furnished by each Reference
Bank for the purpose of determining the interest rate under Section 2.11(a)(ii).

          (b) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Agent
that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the
cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate
Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the
Lenders, whereupon (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then
existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the
Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no
longer exist.

          (c) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any
Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest
Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such
Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert
into Base Rate Advances.

          (d) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances
comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than
$3,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

          (e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each
Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period
therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to
Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.

          (f) If Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page is unavailable and no Reference Banks furnish timely
information to the Agent for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Advances,

     (i) the Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lender that the
interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Advances,

     (ii) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the
then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and

24

 

     (iii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to
Convert Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent
shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist.

          SECTION 2.13. Optional Conversion of Advances. The Borrower may on any Business Day,
upon notice given to the Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business
Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Section 2.12 and
Section 2.16, Convert all Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the
other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into
Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar
Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an
amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.05(a) and no Conversion of any
Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.05(a). Each
Conversion Notice shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such
Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate
Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Conversion Notice
shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

          SECTION 2.14. Optional Prepayments of Advances. The Borrower may, upon notice at least
three Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances,
and not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of
Base Rate Advances, to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the
prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount
of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with
accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however,
that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a
Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect
thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(c). Any prepayment of Advances shall be applied first to Base
Rate Advances to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Advances, in each
case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower
pursuant to
Section 9.04(c). All prepayments of Term Advances and Incremental Term Advances shall be
applied to reduce the remaining scheduled amortization payments of such Term Advances or
Incremental Term Advances, as the case may be, in forward chronological order.

          SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request made or issued after the date hereof from any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the
cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances
or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.15 any
such increased costs resulting from excluded taxes described in Section 2.18(a), then the Borrower
shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay
to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to

25

 

compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided, however, that before making any such demand,
each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and
regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a
designation would avoid the need for, or materially reduce the amount of, such increased cost and
would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by
such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or
request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of
law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased
by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments
of such type (such as to issue or participate in Letters of Credit), then, upon demand by such
Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the
account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the
extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the
existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted
to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.

          SECTION 2.16. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if
any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other
governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office
to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain
Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, (a) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such
demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in
Section 2.11(a)(i), as the case may be, and (b) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar
Rate Advances or to
Convert Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify
the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

          SECTION 2.17. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment
hereunder, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York
City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent at the Agent’s Account in same day funds.
The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of
principal or interest, fees or commissions ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section
2.08, Section 2.15, Section 2.18 or Section 9.04(c) or as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like
funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the
account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the
information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after the
effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance,

26

 

the Agent shall make all payments
hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee
thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate
adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

          (b) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on
account of any facility fee, any letter of credit fee set forth in Section 2.08(b) and any
reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term
Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Each payment
(including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term
Advances shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the
Term Advances then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term
Advances shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Advances, pro rata
based upon the respective then remaining principal amounts thereof. Amounts prepaid on account of
the Term Advances may not be reborrowed.

          (c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on
the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis
of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but
excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are
payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, fee or
commission, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would
cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be
made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding
Business Day.

          (e) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which
any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full,
the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and
the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due
date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall
not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith
on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from
the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to
the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

          SECTION 2.18. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account
of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered
hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.17 or the applicable provisions of such other
documents, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future

27

 

taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent or any other recipient of any payment
made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder, in each case inclusive of all
liabilities with respect thereof, (i) all taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income
(however denominated), franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes and branch profits
taxes imposed on it (A) by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws
of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or has its principal place of
business, (B) by a jurisdiction solely as a result of a present or former connection between the
Agent or such Lender and such jurisdiction (other than any such connection arising from such
recipient having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or
enforced, or otherwise with respect to, any of the Loan Documents), or (C) in the case of each
Lender, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision
thereof, (ii) any withholding or backup withholding tax that (A) is imposed under a law in effect
at the time such Lender becomes a party hereto or otherwise acquires an interest herein (or
designates a new lending office) or (B) is attributable to such Lender’s failure (or unreasonable
delay) to comply with Section 2.18(e) or Section 2.18(f), except to the extent that such Lender (or
its assignor, if any) was otherwise entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office
(or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding
tax pursuant to this Section 2.18(a), and (iii) any tax that results from a recipient’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being
hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or any other documents to
be delivered hereunder to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.18) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law.

          (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or
any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made
hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or from the
execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder (hereinafter referred to as
“Other Taxes”).

          (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless against
the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, taxes of any kind imposed
or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.18) imposed on or paid by
such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate of the Agent or a Lender setting
forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Agent or such Lender
shall be delivered to the Borrower by the applicable Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the
Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of the

28

 

applicable Lender. This indemnification shall be made
within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) delivers such
certificate therefor.

          (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the
Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing such payment to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of
payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. For purposes of subsection (f), the
terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified
in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

          (e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or
prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender and on
the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each
other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower
(but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent
and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate,
or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such
Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments
pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender
first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in
excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and
until such Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon
withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods
governed by such form. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the
disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and
information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, that the
Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the
Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential
information.

          (f) Any Lender that is a United States person and has not otherwise established to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower and the Agent that it is an exempt recipient (as defined in
section 6049(b)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and the United States Treasury Regulations
thereunder) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or
the Agent or as otherwise prescribed by applicable law, but only if such Lender is legally entitled
to do so), duly executed and properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9.

          (g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.18 agrees to
use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions)
to change the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change would
avoid the need for, or materially reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may
thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender.

29

 

          (h) If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its good faith discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with
respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall
pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.18 with respect to Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such
Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority
with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or
such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the
event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority.
This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax
returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower
or any other person.

          SECTION 2.19. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on
account of the Advances owing to it or its interest in Letters of Credit (other than (x) pursuant
to Section 2.15, Section 2.18 or Section 9.04(c) or (y) as expressly otherwise contemplated hereby)
in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances or Letters of Credit obtained
by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations
in the Advances owing to them and Letters of Credit as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing
Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any
portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase
from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the
purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to
(ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount
paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The
Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.19 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

          SECTION 2.20. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with
its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of
Advances. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such
notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender
to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to
be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note
payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender.

30

 

          (b) The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control
account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be
recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising
such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or
interest and obligations due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each
Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder
and each Lender’s share thereof.

          (c) Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above,
and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be
prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest in respect of Letters
of Credit due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the
Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this
Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent
or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such
account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement.

          SECTION 2.21. Incremental Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the
Agent at any time and from time to time, make one or more requests for Incremental Term Advance
Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, as applicable, in an aggregate
amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount, from one or more Incremental Term Lenders and/or
Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide
such Incremental Term Advance Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, as the
case may be, in their own discretion; provided, that each Incremental
Revolving Facility Lender and Incremental Term Lender shall be subject to the approval of the
Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such Incremental Term Lender or
Incremental Revolving Facility Lender, as the case may be, is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender.
If any Lender is willing, in its sole and absolute discretion, to provide Incremental Term Advance
Commitments hereunder, it shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Incremental Term Advance
Activation Notice specifying (i) the amount of such Incremental Term Advance Commitment, (ii) the
applicable Incremental Term Facility Maturity Date (which shall not be earlier than the Maturity
Date), (iii) the amortization schedule for the corresponding Incremental Term Advances (the average
weighted life to maturity of which shall not be shorter than that of the then outstanding Term
Advances) and (iv) the Applicable Margin for such Incremental Term Advances (provided that
in the event that the all-in margin of such Incremental Term Advances exceeds the Applicable Margin
for the Term Advances by more than 0.25% per annum, the Applicable Margin for the Term Advances
shall be increased such that the resulting pricing differential shall be equal to 0.25% per annum).
Each Lender having an Incremental Term Advance Commitment agrees, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental Term
Advances to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Term
Advance Commitment.

          The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Lender
shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement

31

 

and such other
documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Advance
Commitment of such Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment of such
Incremental Revolving Facility Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the
terms of the applicable Incremental Term Advances and/or Incremental Revolving Facility
Commitments; provided, that from and after the effectiveness of each Incremental Assumption
Agreement, the associated Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments shall thereafter be Revolving
Facility Commitments and, in the event that any Incremental Term Advances have the same terms as
the Term Advances, such Incremental Term Advances shall thereafter be Term Advances. Each of the
parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement,
this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the
existence and terms of the Incremental Term Advance Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving
Facility Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.01. Any such deemed amendment
may be memorialized in writing by the Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably
withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto, and no such other party shall have any right
to consent to any such deemed amendment.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Advance Commitment or Incremental
Revolving Facility Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.21 unless (i) on the date
of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(b) shall be satisfied and the Agent
shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an officer of the
Borrower and (ii) the Agent shall have received board resolutions and other customary closing
certificates and documentation as required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and, to
the extent required by the Agent, consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date.

          (c) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Agent may take any and all action as may
be reasonably necessary to ensure that (i) all Incremental Term Advances in the form of additional
Term Advances, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Advances on
a pro rata basis, and (ii) all Revolving Facility Advances in respect of Incremental Revolving
Facility Commitments, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Revolving
Facility Advances on a pro rata basis. The Borrower agrees that Section 2.13 shall apply to any
conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances to Base Rate Advances reasonably required by the Lenders to
effect the foregoing.

          SECTION 2.22. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Facilities (a) shall be used to
repay at least $750,000,000 of the loans under the Existing Facility and (b) for other general
corporate purposes.

ARTICLE III.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

          SECTION 3.01. L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section
3.04(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the
Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be

32

 

approved
from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no
obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C
Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Unused Revolving
Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and
(ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y)
the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, provided that
any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional
one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

          (b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if
such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any
limits imposed by, any applicable law.

          SECTION 3.02. Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time
to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing
Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the
satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and
information as the Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender
will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information
delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall
promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be
required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the
Application therefor and all such
other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing
the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to
by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of
Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly
furnish to the Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance
of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

          SECTION 3.03. Fees and Other Charges. The Borrower will pay fees in respect of
Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.08(b).

          SECTION 3.04. L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant
and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of
Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and
purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C
Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving
Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of
Credit and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant
agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the
Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with Section 3.05, such L/C
Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices
specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of
such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to
pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be

33

 

affected by any circumstance,
including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C
Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure
to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article IV, (iii) any adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing

          (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to
Section 3.04(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender
under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due but
within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to
the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the
daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times
(iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and
the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant
pursuant to Section 3.04(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant
within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the
Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate
Advances under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C
Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.04 shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.

          Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and
has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in
accordance with Section 3.04(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of
Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied
thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender
will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof;
provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing
Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to
the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

          SECTION 3.05. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft is paid under

draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing
Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice of such draft from the

          SECTION 3.06. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Article III

counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing
Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with
the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s
Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.05 shall not be affected by, among other things, the
validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents
shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the
Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of
Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such
Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error,
omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice,
however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found
by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any
action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or
the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct,
shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender
to the Borrower.

          SECTION 3.07. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment
under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and
amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any
draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation
expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents
(including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment
are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

          SECTION 3.08. Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application
related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the
provisions of this Article III shall apply.

     (h) The Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates shall incur, or shall be reasonably

withdrawal of the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates from a Multiemployer Plan; or
(iii) the reorganization or termination of a Multiemployer Plan; or

     (i) At any time after the execution and delivery thereof, (i) the Parent Guaranty or

Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the obligation of each Lender to make Advances
and to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and
(ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the
Borrower, declare the Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this

outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be
forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall
become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided,
however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect
to the Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (A) the obligation of each Lender to make
Advances and to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically be terminated and (B) the Advances, all
such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by

shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower
shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Agent an amount equal to the

50

 

collateral account
shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto).

ARTICLE VIII.

THE AGENT

          SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the
Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental
thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Agent shall not be required to exercise
any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and
shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the
Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes;
provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Agent
to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Agent agrees to
give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Agent shall act solely as
an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation
towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The
Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship
in respect of any Lender; and nothing herein or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or
implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in
respect hereof or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

          SECTION 8.02. Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this
Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation
of the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (i) may treat the Lender that made any Advance as
the holder of the Debt resulting therefrom until the Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and
Acceptance entered into by such Lender, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as
provided in Section 9.07; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower),
independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such
counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall
not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written
or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iv) shall
not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction
of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or the
existence at any time of any Default or to inspect the property (including the books and records)
of the Borrower; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of
any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this
Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (vi) shall incur no
liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice,

51

 

consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier or telegram) believed by it to be genuine
and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

          SECTION 8.03. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments, the Advances made by it, the Note, if any, issued to it and
Letters of Credit issued or participated in by it, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated,
include JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in its individual capacity. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept
investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, the
Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the
Borrower or any such Subsidiary, all as if JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. were not the Agent and without
any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Agent shall have no duty to disclose any
information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than
as Agent. In the event that JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its Affiliates shall be or become
an indenture trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as amended, the “Trust Indenture
Act”) in respect of any securities issued or guarantied by the Borrower, the parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that any payment or property received in satisfaction of or in respect of any
obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or on behalf of JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A. in its capacity as the Agent for the benefit of any Lender under this Agreement or
any Note (other than JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or an Affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) and
which is applied in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to be exempt from the
requirements of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 311(b)(3) of the Trust
Indenture Act.

          SECTION 8.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or
any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 5.01 and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement.

          SECTION 8.05. Indemnification.

          (a) The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower),
ratably according to their Aggregate Exposure Percentages, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or
omitted by the Agent in its capacity as such under this Agreement (collectively, the
“Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of
the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand

52

 

for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in
respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or
proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether any such
investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party.

          (b) The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its Aggregate
Exposure Percentage of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Agent as provided
herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Agent for
its Aggregate Exposure Percentage of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such
amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the
agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment
in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes. The
Agent agrees to return to the Lenders their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentage of any amounts
paid under this Section 8.05 that are subsequently reimbursed by the Borrower.

          SECTION 8.06. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the
Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any
such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent
with the consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Required
Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent, the Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial
institution to act as Agent hereunder with the consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, and in any case, the Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the
thirtieth day after such notice of resignation. If neither the Required Lenders nor the Agent have
appointed a successor Agent, the Required Lenders shall be deemed to succeed to and become vested
with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent. Upon the acceptance of
any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under
this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this
Agreement.

          SECTION 8.07. Other Agents. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that neither syndication agent, nor any co-documentation
agents, nor any other Lender designated as any “Agent” on the signature pages hereof has any
liability hereunder other than in its capacity as a Lender.

53

 

ARTICLE IX.

MISCELLANEOUS

          SECTION 9.01. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, nor consent to any
departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided,
however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall (i) forgive the principal amount or
extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Advance, extend the scheduled date of any
amortization payment in respect of any Term Advance, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee
payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default
increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required
Facility Lenders of each adversely affected Facility) and (y) that any amendment or modification of
defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in
the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any
payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving
Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii)
eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 9.01 without the written
consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders
or waive any provision of Section 2.19 without the written consent of the Required Facility Lenders
in respect of each Facility adversely affected thereby; (v) reduce the percentage specified in the

consent of all of the Lenders other than in connection with any merger, consolidation, conveyance,
transfer, lease or other disposition of a Guarantor or its assets permitted by Section 6.02(b) in
which case only the consent of the Agent shall be required. Any such waiver and any such
amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be
binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and all future holders of the Advances. In the
case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent shall be restored to their former
position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be
cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or
Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical
and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and
the Agent to the extent necessary to integrate any Incremental Term Advance Commitments or
Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments on substantially the same basis as the Term Advances or
Revolving Facility Advances, as applicable.

required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(i)(i), (ii) and (iv) shall be delivered to the
Agent in an electronic medium in a format acceptable to the Agent and the Lenders by e-mail at
cecily.a.roland@jpmchase.com. The Borrower agrees that the Agent may make such materials, as well
as any other written information, documents, instruments and other
material relating to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters
relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively,
the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on Intralinks or a
substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that
(i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that
there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is
provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants
the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly
disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No warranty of
any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or
freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in
connection with the Platform.

55

 

          (c) The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side”
Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the
Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if documents or notices required to be
delivered pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise are being distributed through the Platform, any
document or notice that the Borrower has indicated contains material non-public information with
respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities shall not be posted on that portion
of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders. If the Borrower has not indicated whether
a document or notice delivered pursuant to this Agreement contains any such material non-public
information, the Agent reserves the right to post such document or notice solely on that portion of
the Platform designated for Lenders who wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect
to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their securities.

          (d) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a
“Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall
constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for
purposes of this Agreement; provided that if requested by any Lender the Agent shall deliver a copy
of the Communications to such Lender by email or telecopier. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the
Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic
transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a
party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an
effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail
address.

          SECTION
9.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
provided by law.

          SECTION 9.04. Costs and Expenses. (a)  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable documented out of pocket costs and
expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, modification and
amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder,
including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, syndication (including printing, distribution
and bank meetings), transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, consultant, and audit
expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent with respect thereto and
with respect to advising the Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement. The
Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent and the Lenders, if
any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the
Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of
rights under this Section 9.04(a).

          (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender and each of
their Affiliates and their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and

56

 

advisors (each, an
“Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, penalties,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel)
incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in
connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any
investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i)
the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed
use of the proceeds of the Advances or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials
on any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in
any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss,
liability or expense has resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or bad faith or
breach by such Indemnified Party of any Loan Document. In the case of an investigation, litigation
or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be
effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower,
its directors, equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or
not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrower, on the one hand, and the Agent and each Lender,
on the other hand, agree not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages against each other, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors,
officers, partners, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, arising out of or
otherwise relating to the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the
actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances. To the extent duplicative of the provisions
of Section 2.18, this Section 9.04 shall not apply to Taxes or Other Taxes.

          (c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by
the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period
for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.12(d) or (e),
Section 2.14 or Section 2.16, acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 7.01 or
for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day of the
Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.07 as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 9.07(a), the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to
the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such
Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of
such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated
profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

          (d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Section 2.15, Section 2.18 and Section 9.04
shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder
and under the Notes.

          SECTION 9.05. Right of Set-off. Upon either (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under
Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(e) or (b) (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any
other Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified
by Section 7.01 to authorize the Agent to declare

57

 

the Notes due and payable pursuant to the
provisions of Section 7.01, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time
and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement and the Note held by such Lender, whether or not such Lender shall have made
any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each
Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off
and application. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 9.05 are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that
such Lender and its Affiliates may have.

          SECTION 9.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective (other than Section 2.01, which shall only become
effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01) when it shall
have been executed by the Borrower and the Agent and when the Agent shall have been notified by
each Lender that such Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns,
except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest
herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

          SECTION
9.07. Assignments and Participations. (a)  Each Lender may and, if demanded by the Borrower (so long as no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and following a demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or
Section 2.18) upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Agent, will, assign
to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances
owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each
such assignment of a Facility shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights
and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Facility; (ii) each such assignment need
not be pro rata among the Facilities; (iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that,
immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being
assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and
Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (iv) each such assignment shall be to an
Eligible Assignee; (v) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant
to this Section 9.07(a) shall be arranged by the Borrower after consultation with the Agent and
shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under
this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with
another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and
obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement; (vi) no Lender shall be obligated to make
any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.07(a) unless
and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or
more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to
the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts accrued or payable to such
Lender under this Agreement

58

 

and (vii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver
to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance,
together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500
payable by the parties to each such assignment, provided, however, that in the case
of each assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower, such recordation fee may be paid
by the Borrower except that no such recordation fee shall be payable in the case of an assignment
made at the request of the Borrower to an Eligible Assignee that is an existing Lender. Upon such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent
that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor
thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under
Section 2.15, Section 2.18 and Section 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event
arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations (other than its obligations
under Section 8.05 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such
assignment) under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or
the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

          (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder
and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as
follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes
no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value
of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be
created under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or
observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument
or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of
this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 5.01 and
such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis
and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently
and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it
is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action
as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are
delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are
reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance
with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be
performed by it as a Lender.

          (c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an
assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any

59

 

Note or Notes subject to
such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in
substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record
the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the
Borrower.

          (d) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its
address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and
accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the
Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender from
time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding
for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the
Borrower or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances
owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the
Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the
holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agent and the
other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no
participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the
Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the
principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each
case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of
principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each
case to the extent subject to such participation. Each Lender shall, acting for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, maintain at one of its offices a register substantially similar to the
Register (the “Participant Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of its
participants, and the amount and terms of its participations; provided that no Lender shall be
required to disclose or share the information contained in its Participant Register with the
Borrower or any other person, except as required by applicable law. No sale of participating
interests in the rights of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be effective
until properly recorded in the Participant Register.

          (f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment
or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed
assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on
behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or
participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve

60

 

the confidentiality of any
Borrower Information relating to the Borrower received by it from such Lender.

          (g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any
time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) in favor
of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.

          SECTION 9.08. Confidentiality. Neither the Agent nor any Lender may disclose to any Person any confidential, proprietary or
non-public information of the Borrower furnished to the Agent or the Lenders by the Borrower and
identified as such in writing (such information being referred to collectively herein as the
“Borrower Information”), except that each of the Agent and each of the Lenders may disclose
Borrower Information (i) to its and its affiliates’ employees, officers, directors, agents and
advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Borrower Information and instructed to keep such Borrower
Information confidential on substantially the same terms as provided herein), (ii) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement,
(v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.08, to any assignee or
participant or prospective assignee or participant or to any direct, indirect, actual or
prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction or
credit insurance related to the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, (vii) to the
extent
such Borrower Information (A) is or becomes generally available to the public on a
non-confidential basis other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.08 by the Agent or such
Lender, or (B) is or becomes available to the Agent or such Lender on a nonconfidential basis from
a source other than the Borrower, (viii) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or
any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to
information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to
such Lender and (ix) with the consent of the Borrower. If disclosure of Borrower Information is
required pursuant to (iii) above, then the party compelled to make such disclosure shall promptly
give the Borrower notice thereof, to the extent legally permissible, and shall reasonably cooperate
with the Borrower should the Borrower wish to attempt to lawfully suppress, limit or quash such
disclosure. In addition, the Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement
and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to
the lending industry, and service providers to the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the
administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

          SECTION 9.09. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as otherwise expressly set forth in any
such Loan Document), and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder and thereunder, shall
be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of
New York.

61

 

          SECTION 9.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto
in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all
of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.11. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a)  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself
and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of
the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal
court. The Borrower hereby further consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding
in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address specified pursuant to Section 9.02. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided
by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Notes in
the courts of any jurisdiction.

          (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
Notes in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such action or proceeding in any such court.

          SECTION 9.12. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the
Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and
record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of
the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to
identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall provide, to the extent
commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the
Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with
the Patriot Act.

          SECTION 9.13. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial
by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise)
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes or the actions of the Agent or any Lender
in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.

          SECTION 9.14. No Fiduciary Duty. The Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this
paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests

62

 

that conflict with those of the
Borrower. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to
create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the
Lenders and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are arm’s-length commercial
transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in
connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Lenders is acting
solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders,
creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility
in favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process
leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is
currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except
the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (iv) the Borrower has consulted its
own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Borrower further
acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect
to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The
Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any
nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such
transaction or the process leading thereto.

63

	U.S.$                    
	 	Dated:                     , 2008

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, WESTERN DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of                      (the
“Lender”) for the account of its Applicable Lending Office on the Maturity Date (each as
defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) the principal sum of U.S.$[amount of the
Lender’s Term Commitment in figures]. The principal amount of this Promissory Note shall be payable
on the dates and in the amounts specified in the Credit Agreement dated as of February 11, 2008
among the Borrower, the Lender and certain other lenders party thereto, Citigroup Global Markets
Inc., as syndication agent, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as
arrangers, Bank of America, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, National Association and The Royal Bank of
Scotland plc, as co-documentation agents, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent for the Lender
and such other lenders (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used
herein as therein defined).

     The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Term Advance
evidenced hereby from the date of such Term Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at
such interest rates, and payable at such times, as are specified in the Credit Agreement.

     Both principal and interest are payable in Dollars to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent, at
the Agent’s Account, in same day funds. The Term Advance owing to the Lender by the Borrower
pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and all payments made on account of principal thereof, shall be
recorded by the Lender and, prior to any transfer hereof, endorsed on the grid attached hereto
which is part of this Promissory Note.

     This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of,
the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) provides for the making of the
Term Advance by the Lender to the Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Dollar amount
first above mentioned, the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from such Term Advance being
evidenced by this Promissory Note and (ii) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity
hereof upon the happening of an Event of Default and also for prepayments on account of principal
hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions therein specified.

     Whenever any payment on this Promissory Note shall be stated to be due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of
time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest on this Promissory Note;
provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of
Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be
made on the next preceding Business Day.

     This Promissory Note is subject to restrictions on transfer or assignment as provided in the
Credit Agreement.

 

 

     This Promissory Note and the rights and obligations of the Borrower and the Lender hereunder
shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State
of New York.
