COMMITMENTS, BORROWING PROCEDURES AND NOTES
SECTION 2.1 Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, the Lenders agree to make the Loans as set forth below.
SECTION 2.1.1 Commitments. In a single Borrowing (which shall be made on a Business
Day) occurring on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date, each Lender agrees that it will make
loans (relative to such Lender, its “Loans”) to the Borrower equal to such Lender’s
Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Borrowing of Loans requested by the Borrower to be made
on such day. No Lender shall be permitted or required to make any Loan if, after giving effect
thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans (i) of all Lenders made on the
Closing Date would exceed the Commitment Amount or (ii) of such Lender made on the Closing Date
would exceed such Lender’s Percentage of the Commitment Amount. No amounts paid or prepaid with
respect to Loans may be reborrowed.
SECTION 2.2 Borrowing Procedures. Loans shall be made by the Lenders in accordance
with Section 2.1.1.
SECTION 2.2.1 Borrowing Procedure. By delivering a Borrowing Request to the
Administrative Agent on or before 10:00 a.m. on a Business Day, the Borrower may irrevocably
request, on such Business Day in the case of Base Rate Loans, on not less than three Business Days’
notice and not more than five Business Days’ notice in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, that a
Borrowing be made in a single drawing on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date;
provided that only Base Rate Loans and LIBO Rate Loans with a one month Interest Period may
be incurred prior to the earlier to occur of (a) the 30th day following the Closing Date
and (b) the date upon which the Lead Arrangers have determined that the Syndication Date has
occurred. On or before 12:00 noon on such Business Day each Lender shall deposit with the
-29-
Administrative Agent same day funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the
requested Borrowing. Such deposit will be made to an account which the Administrative Agent shall
specify from time to time by notice to the Lenders. To the extent funds are received from the
Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower by wire transfer
to the accounts the Borrower shall have specified in its Borrowing Request. No Lender’s obligation
to make any Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to make any Loan.
SECTION 2.3 Continuation and Conversion Elections. By delivering a
Continuation/Conversion Notice to the Administrative Agent on or before 10:00 a.m. on a Business
Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect on not less than three nor more than five
Business Days’ notice before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto,
to convert any Base Rate Loan into one or more LIBO Rate Loans or to continue any LIBO Rate Loan;
provided that (i) any portion of any Loan which is continued or converted hereunder shall
be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple amount of $1,000,000 and (ii) in
the absence of prior notice as required above (which notice may be delivered telephonically
followed by written confirmation within 24 hours thereafter by delivery of a
Continuation/Conversion Notice), with respect to any LIBO Rate Loan such LIBO Rate Loan shall, on
such last day, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan; provided further that (A)
each such conversion or continuation shall be pro rated among the applicable outstanding Loans of
all Lenders that have made such Loans, and (B) no portion of the outstanding principal amount of
any Loans may be continued as, or be converted into, LIBO Rate Loans when any Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 2.4 Funding. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to
make, continue or convert LIBO Rate Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or
Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such
LIBO Rate Loan; provided that, such LIBO Rate Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been
made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such LIBO Rate Loan
shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or
international banking facility. Subject to Section 4.10, each Lender may, at its option,
make any Loan available to the Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of
such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect
the obligation of the Borrower to repay Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.5 Register; Notes. The Register shall be maintained on the following
terms.
(a) The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent,
solely for the purpose of this clause, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which the
Administrative Agent will record each Lender’s Commitment, the Loans made by each Lender and each
repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, annexed to which the Administrative
Agent shall retain a copy of each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 10.11. Failure to make any recordation, or any error in such
recordation, shall not affect any Obligor’s Obligations. The entries in the Register shall
constitute prima facie evidence and shall be binding, in the absence of manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person in whose name a Loan is
registered (or, if applicable, to which a Note has been issued) as
-30-
the owner thereof for the
purposes of all Loan Documents, notwithstanding notice or any provision herein to the
contrary. Any assignment or transfer of a Commitment or the Loans made pursuant hereto shall be
registered in the Register only upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Lender Assignment
Agreement that has been executed by the requisite parties pursuant to Section 10.11. No
assignment or transfer of a Lender’s Commitment or Loans shall be effective unless such assignment
or transfer shall have been recorded in the Register by the Administrative Agent as provided in
this Section.
(b) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the
Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a Note evidencing the Loans made by, and payable
to the order of, such Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the
original Commitment Amount. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or
cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Note (or on any
continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia,
the date of, the outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate and Interest Period
applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations shall, to the extent not inconsistent
with notations made by the Administrative Agent in the Register, constitute prima facie evidence
and shall be binding on each Obligor absent manifest error; provided that, the failure of
any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of any
Obligor.
ARTICLE III

amount of such proceeds, and, to the extent the aggregate amount of such (i) Net Disposition
Proceeds received by the Borrower and its U.S. Subsidiaries in any period of twelve consecutive
calendar months since the Closing Date exceeds $10,000,000 and (ii) Net Casualty Proceeds received
by the Borrower and its U.S. Subsidiaries in any period of twelve consecutive calendar months since
the Closing Date exceeds $50,000,000, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans
in an amount equal to 100% of such excess Net Disposition Proceeds or Net Casualty Proceeds, as
applicable; provided that, so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, such proceeds may be retained by the Borrower and its U.S. Subsidiaries (and be
excluded from the prepayment requirements of this clause) to be invested or reinvested within one
year or, subject to immediately succeeding clause (ii), 18 months or 36 months, as

applied within (I) 18 months following the receipt of such Net Disposition Proceeds or (II) 36
months following the receipt of such Net Casualty Proceeds, in each case to such acquisition or
construction plan. The amount of such Net Disposition Proceeds or Net Casualty Proceeds unused or
uncommitted after such one year, 18 months or 36 months, as applicable, period shall be applied to
prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 3.1.2. Following the First Lien Termination Date,
at any time after receipt of any such Net Casualty Proceeds in excess of $25,000,000 but prior to
the application thereof to such mandatory prepayment or the acquisition of other assets or
properties as described above, upon the request by the Administrative Agent (acting at the
direction of the Required Lenders) to the Borrower, the Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to
such excess Net Casualty Proceeds into a cash collateral account maintained with (and subject to
documentation reasonably satisfactory to) the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties (and over which the Collateral Agent shall have a first priority perfected Lien) pending
application as a prepayment or to be released as
-32-
requested by the Borrower in respect of such acquisition. Amounts deposited in such cash
collateral account shall be invested in Cash Equivalent Investments, as directed by the Borrower.
(e) Following the First Lien Termination Date, within 100 days after the close of each Fiscal Year
(beginning with the Fiscal Year ending 2007) the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the
Loans in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Excess Cash Flow (if any) for such Fiscal Year
multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Percentage minus (iii) the aggregate amount of all
voluntary prepayments of Loans during such Fiscal Year, to be applied as set forth in Section
3.1.2;
(f) Following the First Lien Termination Date, concurrently with the receipt by the Company or any
of its U.S. Subsidiaries of any Net Debt Proceeds, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment
of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Debt Proceeds, to be applied as set forth in
Section 3.1.2.
(g) Following the First Lien Termination Date, concurrently with the receipt by the Company or any
of its U.S. Subsidiaries of any Net Receivables Proceeds, the Borrower shall make a mandatory
prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Receivables Proceeds, to be applied
as set forth in Section 3.1.2.
(h) Immediately upon any acceleration of the Stated Maturity Date of the Loans pursuant to
Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, the Borrower shall repay all the Loans, unless,
pursuant to Section 8.3, only a portion of all the Loans is so accelerated (in which case
the portion so accelerated shall be so repaid).
Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be without premium or penalty,
except as may be required by clause (a) or Section 4.4.
SECTION 3.1.2 Application. Amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 3.1.1 shall ,
subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, be
applied to the extent of such prepayment or repayment, first, to the principal amount
thereof being maintained as Base Rate Loans, and second, subject to the terms of
Section 4.4, to the principal amount thereof being maintained as LIBO Rate Loans.
SECTION 3.2 Interest Provisions. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the
Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance with the terms set forth below.

of the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin; and
(b) on that portion maintained as a LIBO Rate Loan, during each Interest Period
applicable thereto, equal to the sum of the LIBO Rate (Reserve Adjusted) for such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Margin.
-33-

SECTION 3.3 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to each of the Agents and each Lead
Arranger, for its own account, the fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Fee Letter
or in such other fee letter(s) negotiated by the parties thereto.
ARTICLE IV
CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS
SECTION 4.1 LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful. If any Lender shall determine (which
determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,
-34-
constitute prima facie evidence thereof and shall be binding on the Borrower absent manifest
error) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it
unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make or
continue any Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan, the obligations of such Lender
to make, continue or convert any such LIBO Rate Loan shall, upon such determination, forthwith be
suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding LIBO Rate Loans payable to such Lender shall
automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with
respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.
SECTION 4.2 Deposits Unavailable. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined
that
(a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not
available to it in its relevant market; or
(b) by reason of circumstances affecting it’s relevant market, adequate means do not
exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate Loans;
then, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders, the obligations of
all Lenders under Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 to make or continue any Loans as, or
to convert any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no
longer exist.
SECTION 4.3 Increased LIBO Rate Loan Costs, etc. The Borrower agrees to reimburse
each Lender for any increase in the cost to such Lender of, or any reduction in the amount of any
sum receivable by such Secured Party in respect of, such Secured Party’s Commitments and the making
of Loans hereunder (including the making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make
or continue) any Loans as, or of converting (or of its obligation to convert) any Loans into, LIBO
Rate Loans) that arise in connection with any change in, or the introduction, adoption,
effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in after the Closing Date of, any law or
regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of
any Governmental Authority, except for such changes with respect to increased capital costs and
Taxes which are governed by Sections 4.5 and 4.6, respectively. Each affected
Secured Party shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of the
occurrence of any such event, stating the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully
to compensate such Secured Party for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional
amounts shall be payable by the Borrower directly to such Secured Party within five Business Days
of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, constitute
prima facie evidence thereof and shall be binding on the Borrower.
SECTION 4.4 Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall incur any actual loss or
expense (including any actual loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment
of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender (if any) to make or continue any portion of the
principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan
into, a LIBO Rate Loan) as a result of
-35-
(a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBO Rate
Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
whether pursuant to Article III or otherwise;
(b) any Loans not being made continued or converted as LIBO Rate Loans in accordance
with the Borrowing Request or other notice therefor;
(c) any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, LIBO Rate Loans in accordance
with the Continuation/Conversion Notice therefor; or
(d) the assignment of any LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.11.
then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), the Borrower shall, within five days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender
such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such
actual loss or expense. Such written notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, constitute
prima facie evidence thereof and shall be binding on the Borrower.
SECTION 4.5 Increased Capital Costs. If any change in, or the introduction,
adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation,
directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any
Governmental Authority after the Closing Date affects or would affect the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by any Secured Party or any Person controlling such Secured
Party, and such Secured Party determines (in good faith but in its sole and absolute discretion)
that as a result thereof the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a
consequence of the Commitments or the Loans made by such Secured Party is reduced to a level below
that which such Secured Party or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence
of any such circumstance, then upon notice (together with reasonably detailed supporting
documentation) from time to time by such Secured Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall within
five Business Days following receipt of such notice pay directly to such Secured Party additional
amounts sufficient to compensate such Secured Party or such controlling Person for such reduction
in rate of return. A statement in reasonable detail of such Secured Party as to any such
additional amount or amounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, constitute prima facie
evidence thereof and shall be binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount, such Secured
Party may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion)
shall deem applicable.
SECTION 4.6 Taxes. The Borrower covenants and agrees as follows with respect to
Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower under each Loan Document shall be made without setoff,
counterclaim or other defense, and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or
on account of, any Taxes. In the event that any Taxes are imposed and required to be deducted or
withheld from any payment required to be made by any Obligor to or on behalf of any Secured Party
under any Loan Document, then:
-36-
(i) subject to clause (f), if such Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the amount of
such payment shall be increased as may be necessary so that such payment is made, after
withholding or deduction for or on account of such Taxes, in an amount that is not less than
the amount provided for in such Loan Document; and
(ii) the Borrower shall withhold the full amount of such Taxes from such payment (as
increased pursuant to clause (a)(i)) and shall pay such amount to the Governmental
Authority imposing such Taxes in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes imposed to the relevant Governmental
Authority imposing such Other Taxes in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, as promptly as practicable after the
payment of any Taxes or Other Taxes, and in any event within 45 days of any such written request,
the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent a copy of an official receipt (or a
certified copy thereof) evidencing the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes. The Administrative
Agent shall make copies thereof available to any Lender upon request therefor.
(d) Subject to clause (f), the Borrower shall indemnify each Secured Party for any
Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes levied, imposed or assessed on (and whether or not paid directly
by) such Secured Party whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are correctly or
legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that if the Borrower
reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, such Secured Party will
use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes so long as
such efforts would not, in the sole determination of such Secured Party, result in any additional
costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Promptly upon having knowledge
that any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes have been levied, imposed or assessed, and promptly
upon notice thereof by any Secured Party, the Borrower shall pay such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other
Taxes directly to the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that no Secured Party shall
be under any obligation to provide any such notice to the Borrower). In addition, the Borrower
shall indemnify each Secured Party for any incremental Taxes that may become payable by such
Secured Party as a result of any failure of the Borrower to pay any Taxes when due to the
appropriate Governmental Authority or to deliver to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to
clause (c), documentation evidencing the payment of Taxes or Other Taxes (other than
incidental taxes resulting directly as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of
the Administrative Agent or a respective Secured Party); provided that if the Secured Party
or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, fails to give notice to the Borrower of the imposition
of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes within 120 days following its receipt of actual written
notice of the imposition of such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, there will be no obligation for
the Borrower to pay interest or penalties attributable to the period beginning after such 120th day
and ending seven days after the Borrower receives notice from the Secured Party or the
Administrative Agent as applicable. With respect to indemnification for Non-Excluded Taxes and
Other Taxes actually paid by any Secured Party or the indemnification provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date such Secured
Party makes written demand therefor (together with supporting documentation in reasonable detail).
The Borrower acknowledges that any payment made to any Secured Party or to any Governmental
Authority in respect of the indemnification obligations of
-37-
the Borrower provided in this clause shall constitute a payment in respect of which the
provisions of clause (a) and this clause shall apply.
(e) Each Non-U.S. Lender, on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender
hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, but only for so long as such non-U.S. Lender is legally entitled to do so), shall deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent either (i) two duly completed copies of either (x)
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility of the Non-U.S. Lender for benefits of an
income tax treaty to which the United States is a party or (y) Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI, or in either case an applicable successor form; or (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender
that is not legally entitled to deliver either form listed in clause (e)(i), (x) a
certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest
from a related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (referred to as an
“Exemption Certificate”) and (y) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN or applicable successor form.
(f) The Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to
clause (a)(i), or to indemnify any Lender pursuant to clause (d), in respect of
United States federal withholding taxes to the extent imposed as a result of (i) the failure of
such Lender to deliver to the Borrower the form or forms and/or an Exemption Certificate, as
applicable to such Lender, pursuant to clause (e), (ii) such form or forms and/or Exemption
Certificate not establishing a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax or the
information or certifications made therein by the Lender being untrue or inaccurate on the date
delivered in any material respect, or (iii) the Lender designating a successor lending office at
which it maintains its Loans which has the effect of causing such Lender to become obligated for
tax payments in excess of those in effect immediately prior to such designation; provided
that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay additional amounts to any such Lender pursuant to
clause (a)(i) and to indemnify any such Lender pursuant to clause (d), in respect
of United States federal withholding taxes if (i) any such failure to deliver a form or forms or an
Exemption Certificate or the failure of such form or forms or Exemption Certificate to establish a
complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax or inaccuracy or untruth contained therein
resulted from a change in any applicable statute, treaty, regulation or other applicable law or any
interpretation of any of the foregoing occurring after the Closing Date, which change rendered such
Lender no longer legally entitled to deliver such form or forms or Exemption Certificate or
otherwise ineligible for a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax, or rendered the
information or certifications made in such form or forms or Exemption Certificate untrue or
inaccurate in a material respect, (ii) the redesignation of the Lender’s lending office was made at
the request of the Borrower or (iii) the obligation to pay any additional amounts to any such
Lender pursuant to clause (a)(i) or to indemnify any such Lender pursuant to clause
(d) is with respect to an Eligible Assignee that becomes an assignee Lender as a result of an
assignment made at the request of the Borrower.
(g) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines in its sole, good faith discretion that
amounts recovered or refunded are a recovery or refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as
to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to clause (d),
-38-
or to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to clause (a)(i), it shall pay over
such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 4.6 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or
Other Taxes that give rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that in no event
will any Lender be required to pay an amount to the Borrower that would place such Lender in a less
favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in if the additional amounts
giving rise to such refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid, and
provided further that the Borrower, upon the written request of the Administrative
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 unless the Governmental
Authority assessed such penalties, interest, or other charges due to the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender) to the Administrative Agent or such
Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to the
Governmental Authority. Nothing in this clause (g) shall require any Lender to make
available its tax returns or any other information related to its taxes that it deems confidential.
SECTION 4.7 Payments, Computations; Proceeds of Collateral, etc. (a) Unless
otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to each Loan
Document shall be made subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the
Intercreditor Agreement and shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the
pro rata account of the Secured Parties entitled to receive such payment. All
payments shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim not later than 11:00 a.m. on the
date due in same day or immediately available funds, in Dollars, to such account as the
Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received
after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next
succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in same day funds to each
Secured Party its share, if any, of such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Secured Party. All interest (including interest on LIBO Rate Loans) and fees shall
be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the
last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year
comprised of 360 days (or, in the case of interest on a Base Rate Loan (calculated at other than
the Federal Funds Rate), 365 days or, if appropriate, 366 days). Payments due on other than a
Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be
included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment.
(b) All amounts received as a result of the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents
(including from the proceeds of collateral securing the Obligations) or under applicable law shall
be applied subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Intercreditor
Agreement; provided, that after the First Lien Termination Date, they shall be applied upon
receipt to the Obligations as follows: (i) first, to the payment of all Obligations owing to the
Agents, in their capacity as Agents (including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Agents),
(ii) second, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clause (b)(i), to
the ratable payment of all interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of a
proceeding in bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, whether or not permitted as a claim under such
law) and fees owing under the Loan Documents, and all costs and expenses owing to the
-39-
Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash, (iii) third, after
payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii), to
the ratable payment of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, (iv) fourth, after
payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) through
(b)(iii), to the ratable payment of all other Obligations owing to the Secured Parties, and
(v) fifth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) through
(b)(iv), and following the Termination Date, to each applicable Obligor or any other Person
lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
SECTION 4.8 Sharing of Payments. If any Secured Party shall obtain any payment or
other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account
of any Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 or
4.6) in excess of its pro rata share of payments obtained by all Secured
Parties, such Secured Party shall purchase from the other Secured Parties such participations in
Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Secured Party to share the excess
payment or other recovery ratably (to the extent such other Secured Parties were entitled to
receive a portion of such payment or recovery) with each of them; provided that, if all or
any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Secured Party, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Secured Party which has sold a
participation to the purchasing Secured Party shall repay to the purchasing Secured Party the
purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling
Secured Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such selling
Secured Party’s required repayment to the purchasing Secured Party to (b) total amount so
recovered from the purchasing Secured Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Secured Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any
Secured Party purchasing a participation from another Secured Party pursuant to this Section may,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to
Section 4.9) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Secured Party were the
direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a
setoff to which this Section applies, such Secured Party shall, to the extent practicable, exercise
its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Secured
Parties entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
SECTION 4.9 Setoff. Each Secured Party shall, subject to the terms, conditions and
restrictions of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 8.1.9 or,
with the consent of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
other Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations
owing to it (if then due and payable), and (as security for such Obligations) the Borrower hereby
grants to each Secured Party a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits,
deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with such Secured Party
(other than payroll, trust or tax accounts); provided that any such appropriation and
application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8. Each Secured Party agrees
promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such appropriation and
application made by such Secured Party; provided that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Secured Party under
this Section are in addition
-40-
to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or
otherwise) which such Secured Party may have.
SECTION 4.10 Mitigation. Each Lender agrees that, if it makes any demand for payment
under Sections 4.3 or 4.6, it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and
legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it,
as determined in its sole discretion) to designate a different lending office if the making of such
a designation would reduce or obviate the need for the Borrower to make payments under Section
4.3 or 4.6.
SECTION 4.11 Removal of Lenders. If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (i)
fails to consent to an election, consent, amendment, waiver or other modification to this Agreement
or other Loan Document (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) that requires the consent of a greater
percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such election, consent, amendment, waiver
or other modification is otherwise consented to by Non-Defaulting Lenders holding more than 66 and
2/3% of the Total Exposure Amount of all Non-Defaulting Lenders, (ii) makes a demand upon the
Borrower for (or if the Borrower is otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section
4.3, 4.5 or 4.6, or gives notice pursuant to Section 4.1 requiring a
conversion of such Affected Lender’s LIBO Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans or any change in the basis
upon which interest is to accrue in respect of such Affected Lender’s LIBO Rate Loans or suspending
such Lender’s obligation to make Loans as, or to convert Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans or (iii)
becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole cost and expense, within 90 days of
receipt by the Borrower of such demand or notice (or the occurrence of such other event causing
Borrower to be required to pay such compensation) or within 90 days of such Lender becoming a
Non-Consenting Lender or a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, give notice (a “Replacement
Notice”) in writing to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to
cause such Affected Lender to sell all or any portion of its Loans, Commitments and/or Notes to
another financial institution or other Person (a “Replacement Lender”) designated in such
Replacement Notice; provided that no Replacement Notice may be given by the Borrower if (A)
such replacement conflicts with any applicable law or regulation or (B) prior to any such
replacement, such Lender shall have taken any necessary action under Section 4.5 or
4.6 (if applicable) so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing
pursuant to Section 4.5 or 4.6 and withdrew its request for compensation under
Section 4.3, 4.5 or 4.6 . If the Administrative Agent shall, in the
exercise of its reasonable discretion and within 30 days of its receipt of such Replacement Notice,
notify the Borrower and such Affected Lender in writing that the Replacement Lender is reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such consent not being required where the Replacement
Lender is already a Lender), then such Affected Lender shall, subject to the payment of any amounts
due pursuant to Section 4.4, assign, in accordance with Section 10.11, the portion
of its Commitments, Loans, Notes (if any) and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and
all other Loan Documents designated in the replacement notice to such Replacement Lender;
provided that (A) such assignment shall be without recourse, representation or warranty and
shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such Affected Lender and such
Replacement Lender, and (B) the purchase price paid by such Replacement Lender shall be in the
amount of such Affected Lender’s Loans designated in the Replacement Notice and/or its Percentage
of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, as applicable, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest and fees in respect thereof, plus all other amounts (including the amounts demanded and
unreimbursed under
-41-
Sections 4.3, 4.5 and 4.6), owing to such Affected Lender hereunder.
Upon the effective date of an assignment described above, the Replacement Lender shall become a
“Lender” for all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to
execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any assignment agreement necessary to
effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by
this Section.
SECTION 4.12 Limitation on Additional Amounts, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Sections 4.3 or 4.5 of this Agreement, unless a Lender gives
notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay an amount under any such Section within 90 days
after the later of (i) the date such Lender incurs the respective increased costs, loss, expense or
liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or (ii)
the date such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of their respective increased costs,
loss, expense or liability, reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on
capital, then such Lender shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the Borrower
pursuant to Sections 4.3 or 4.5, as the case may be, to the extent the costs, loss,
expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital
are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs 90 days prior to such Lender giving
notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to
Sections 4.3 or 4.5, as the case may be. This Section shall have no
applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than Sections 4.3 and 4.5.

Collateral Agent thereunder shall be duly perfected to provide the Collateral Agent with a
security interest in and Lien on all collateral granted thereunder free and clear of other
Liens, except to the extent reasonably consented to by the Administrative Agent;
provided that the Administrative Agent may waive the requirement to perfect a pledge
on the Capital Securities of any Foreign Subsidiary otherwise required to be pledged
hereunder if they determine, in their reasonable discretion, that the value of the assets
owned by such Foreign Subsidiary or the EBITDA generated by such Foreign Subsidiary, is
immaterial when taken as a whole.
(b) Mortgages. Subject to the limitation in clause (d) of Section
7.1.8, within 90 days after the Closing Date (or such later dates from time to time as

the benefit of the Secured Parties in amounts not exceeding the fair market value of

covered by each Mortgage, insuring that title to such property is marketable and

the issued and outstanding Voting Securities (to the extent certificated and permitted by
applicable law to be removed from any particular jurisdiction) of each Foreign Subsidiary

ARTICLE IX
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT; THE LEAD
ARRANGERS, THE SYNDICATION AGENT AND THE DOCUMENTATION AGENT
SECTION 9.1 Actions. Each Lender hereby appoints Citicorp USA as its Administrative
Agent and CitiNA, as its collateral agent, under and for purposes of each Loan Document. Each
Lender authorizes each Agent to act on behalf of such Lender under each Loan Document and, in the
absence of other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by such
Agent (with respect to which each Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in
this Section or as otherwise advised by counsel in order to avoid contravention of applicable
law), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required
of such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be incidental
thereto (including the release of Liens on assets Disposed of in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents). Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which
indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) each Agent, pro rata
according to such Lender’s proportionate Total Exposure Amount, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, such Agent in any
way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses), and as to which such Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrower (and without limiting its
obligation to do so); provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses which are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted from such
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be required to take any action
under any Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of any Loan Document, unless
it is indemnified hereunder to its reasonable satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of any Agent
shall be or become, in such Agent’s determination, inadequate, such Agent may call for additional
indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such
additional indemnity is given.
SECTION 9.2 Funding Reliance, etc. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified in writing by any Lender by 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to a Borrowing that such
Lender will not make available the amount which would constitute its Percentage of such Borrowing
on the date specified therefor, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
amount available to the Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available
to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made
such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to
repay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest
thereon, for each day from the date the Administrative Agent made such amount available to the
Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate
applicable at the time to Loans comprising such Borrowing (in the case of the Borrower) and (in the
case of a Lender), at the Federal Funds Rate (for the first two Business Days after which such
amount has not been repaid), and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising
such Borrowing.
SECTION 9.3 Exculpation. Neither any Lead Arranger, any Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates shall be liable to any Secured Party for any
-76-
action taken or omitted to be taken by it under any Loan Document, or in connection therewith,
except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence, nor responsible for any recitals or
warranties herein or therein, nor for the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution
of any Loan Document, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency
of any collateral security, nor to make any inquiry respecting the performance by any Obligor of
its Obligations. Any such inquiry which may be made by a Lead Arranger or an Agent shall not
obligate it to make any further inquiry or to take any action. Each Lead Arranger and each Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and upon any notice,
consent, certificate, statement or writing which such Lead Arranger or such Agent believes to be
genuine and to have been presented by a proper Person.
SECTION 9.4 Successor. Any Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30
days’ prior notice to the Borrower and all Lenders. If any Agent at any time shall resign, the
Required Lenders may appoint (subject to, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the reasonable consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
another Lender as such Person’s successor Agent which shall thereupon become the applicable Agent
hereunder. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (and
consented to by the Borrower), and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the
retiring such Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial banking
institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States
branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, and having a combined capital and surplus of
at least $250,000,000; provided that, if such retiring Agent is unable to find a commercial
banking institution which is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications
set forth in above, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective
and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time,
if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of
any appointment as an Agent hereunder by any successor Agent, such successor Agent shall be
entitled to receive from the retiring Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such
successor Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s
resignation hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under the Loan Documents, and
Section 10.3 and Section 10.4 shall continue to inure to its benefit.
SECTION 9.5 Loans by Citibank. Citibank shall have the same rights and powers with
respect to (a) the Loans made by it or any of its Affiliates, and (b) the Notes held by it or any
of its Affiliates as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not an Agent.
Citibank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any
kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if Citibank
were not an Agent hereunder.
SECTION 9.6 Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of
the Administrative Agent and each other Lender, and based on such Lender’s review of the financial
information of the Borrower, the Company, the Loan Documents (the terms and
-77-
provisions of which
being satisfactory to such Lender) and such other documents, information and investigations as such
Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its Commitment. Each Lender
also acknowledges that it will, independently of the Administrative Agent and each other Lender,
and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at
any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to
time any rights and privileges available to it under the Loan Documents.
SECTION 9.7 Copies, etc. Each Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each
notice or request required or permitted to be given to such Agent by the Borrower or the Company
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the
Borrower or the Company). Each Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or instrument
received for its account and copies of all other communications received
by such Agent from the Borrower or the Company for distribution to the Lenders by such Agent
in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. No Agent shall, except as expressly set forth
in the Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or the Company or any of its Affiliates that is
communicated to or obtained by any Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
SECTION 9.8 Reliance by Agents. The Agents shall be entitled to rely upon any
certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy,
telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or
on behalf of the proper Person, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent
accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for
by the Loan Documents, the Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining
from acting, thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Lenders or all of the
Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Lenders and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Secured Parties.
SECTION 9.9 Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
or notice of the occurrence of a Default (other than a Default under Section 8.1.1) unless
the Administrative Agent has received a written notice from a Lender or the Borrower or the Company
specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that
the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative
Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to
Section 10.1 and the Intercreditor Agreement) take such action with respect to such Default
as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided that, subject to the terms,
conditions and restrictions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Secured Parties except to the extent
that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the
consent or upon the authorization of the Required Lenders or all Lenders.
SECTION 9.10 Lead Arrangers, Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, the Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents, in their
-78-
respective capacities as such, each in such capacity, shall have no duties or responsibilities
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and
no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Agreement or otherwise exist against such Person in such capacity. Each Lead Arranger
shall at all times have the right to receive current copies of the Register and any other
information relating to the Lenders and the Loans that they may request from the Administrative
Agent. Each Lead Arranger shall at all times have the right to receive a current copy of the
Register and any other information relating to the Lenders and the Loans that they may request from
the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.11 Posting of Approved Electronic Communications.
(a) The Company hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or
unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the
Administrative Agent to the Company, that it will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to,
provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it
is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the
Lenders under Section 7.1.1, including all notices, requests, financial statements,
financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any
such communication that (i) is or relates to a Borrowing Request, a Continuation/Conversion
Notice or an Issuance Request, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount
due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor and (iii) provides notice of
any Default (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as
“Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium
that is properly identified in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to
an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent; provided for the
avoidance of doubt the items described in clauses (i) and (iii) above may be
delivered via facsimile transmissions. In addition, the Company agrees, and agrees to cause
its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or
the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to
the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.
(b) The Company further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the
Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a
substantially similar secure electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).
(c) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES DO
NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE
PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR
FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES IN CONNECTION
WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO
-79-
EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY HERETO HAVE ANY
LIABILITY TO ANY OBLIGOR, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR
NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING
OUT OF ANY OBLIGOR’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH
THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING
BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH INDEMNIFIED
PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
(d) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the
Administrative Agent at the e-mail address set forth on Schedule II shall constitute
effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the
Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next
sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall
constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan
Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by
electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the
foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be
sent to such e-mail address.
(e) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of any Agent or any Lender to give any
notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in
such Loan Document.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.1 Waivers, Amendments, etc. The provisions of each Loan Document (other
than the Fee Letter, which shall be modified only in accordance with their respective terms) may
from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in
writing and consented to by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided that, no such
amendment, modification or waiver shall:
(a) modify Section 4.7, Section 4.8 (as it relates to sharing of
payments) or this Section, in each case, without the consent of all Lenders;
(b) increase the aggregate amount of any Loans required to be made by a Lender pursuant
to its Commitments, extend the Commitment Termination Date of Loans made (or participated
in) by a Lender or extend the final Stated Maturity Date for any Lender’s Loan, in each case
without the consent of such Lender (it being agreed, however, that any vote to rescind any
acceleration made pursuant to Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 of amounts owing
with respect to the Loans and other Obligations shall only require the vote of the Required
Lenders);
-80-
(c) reduce (by way of forgiveness), the principal amount of or reduce the rate of
interest on any Lender’s Loan, reduce any prepayment premium or fees described in
Article III payable to any Lender or extend the date on which interest or fees are
payable in respect of such Lender’s Loans, in each case without the consent of such Lender
(provided that, the vote of Required Lenders shall be sufficient to waive the
payment, or reduce the increased portion, of interest accruing under Section 3.2.2
and such waiver shall not constitute a reduction of the rate of interest hereunder);
(d) reduce the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or modify
any requirement hereunder that any particular action be taken by all Lenders without the
consent of all Lenders;
(e) except as otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document, release (i) the Borrower
or the Company from their respective Obligations under the Loan Documents or any Subsidiary
Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty or (ii) all or substantially all of the
collateral under the Loan Documents, in each case without the consent of all Lenders; or
(f) affect adversely the interests, rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent
(in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) or the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as
the Collateral Agent) unless consented to by such Agent.
No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party in exercising any power or right under any
Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
power or right. No notice to or demand on any Obligor in any case shall entitle it to any notice
or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by any Secured Party under any
Loan Document shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to
subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar
waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.1, if within sixty days
following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall have jointly identified
an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any
provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall be permitted
to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or
consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the
Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.
SECTION 10.2 Notices; Time. All notices and other communications provided under each
Loan Document shall be in writing or by facsimile (except to the extent provided below in this
Section 10.2 with respect to financial information) and addressed, delivered or
transmitted, if to the Borrower, the Company, an Agent or a Lender, to the applicable Person at its
address or facsimile number set forth on the signature pages hereto, Schedule II hereto or
set forth in the Lender Assignment Agreement, or at such other address or facsimile number as may
be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. Any notice, if mailed and properly
addressed with postage prepaid or if properly
-81-
addressed and sent by pre-paid courier service, shall
be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by facsimile, shall be deemed given when
the confirmation of transmission thereof is received by the transmitter. Except as set forth in
Section 9.11 and below, electronic mail and Internet and intranet websites may be used only
to distribute routine communications by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders, such as financial
statements and other information as provided in
Section 7.1.1 and for the distribution and
execution of Loan Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used for any other
purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document by facsimile (or
other electronic) transmission shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart
of this Agreement or such other Loan Document. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the
time of a day in a Loan Document shall refer to
New York time.
SECTION 10.3 Payment of Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay within 20 days
of demand (to the extent invoiced together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of each Lead Arranger and each Agent (including the reasonable
fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Mayer, Brown, Xxxx & Maw LLP, counsel to the Lead
Arrangers and Agents and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by or on behalf of the Lead
Arrangers and Agents) in connection with
(a) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of each Loan Document,
including schedules and exhibits, and any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or
other modifications to any Loan Document as may from time to time hereafter be required,
whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated; and
(b) the filing or recording of any Loan Document (including any Filing Statements) and
all amendments, supplements, amendment and restatements and other modifications to any
thereof, searches made following the Closing Date in jurisdictions where Filing Statements
(or other documents evidencing Liens in favor of the Secured Parties) have been recorded and
any and all other documents or instruments of further assurance required to be filed or
recorded by the terms of any Loan Document; and
(c) the preparation and review of the form of any document or instrument relevant to
any Loan Document.
The Borrower further agrees to pay, and to save each Secured Party harmless from all liability for,
any stamp or other taxes which may be payable in connection with the execution or delivery of each
Loan Document, the Loans or the issuance of the Notes. The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the
Agents and the Secured Parties upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to the Agents and the
Secured Parties) incurred by the Agents and the Secured Parties in connection with (A) the
negotiation of any restructuring or “work-out” with the Borrower, whether or not consummated, of
any Obligations and (B) the enforcement of any Obligations; provided that the Borrower
shall not be required to reimburse the legal fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (in
addition to any local counsel) for all Persons indemnified under this Section 10.3 unless,
as reasonably determined by such Person seeking indemnification hereunder or its
-82-
counsel, representation of all such indemnified persons by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to
actual or potential differing interests between them.
SECTION 10.4 Indemnification. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by each Secured Party, the Borrower hereby indemnifies, exonerates and holds each Secured
Party, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent and each of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, trustees, fund advisors and Affiliates (collectively, the
“Indemnified Parties”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of
action, suits, losses, costs, liabilities and damages, and expenses incurred in connection
therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party to the action for which
indemnification hereunder is sought), including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements,
whether incurred in connection with actions between or among the parties hereto or the parties
hereto and third parties (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by
the Indemnified Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to
(a) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, with the proceeds of any Loan, including all Indemnified Liabilities arising in
connection with the Transaction;
(b) the entering into and performance of any Loan Document by any of the Indemnified
Parties (including any action brought by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Company as the
result of any determination by the Required Lenders pursuant to Article V not to
fund any Loan, provided that, any such action is resolved in favor of such
Indemnified Party);
(c) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to any acquisition or proposed
acquisition by any Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof of all or any portion of the Capital
Securities or assets of any Person, whether or not an Indemnified Party is party thereto;
(d) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to any environmental cleanup,
audit, compliance or other matter relating to the protection of the environment or the
Release by any Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof of any Hazardous Material;
(e) the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge,
emission, discharging or releases from, any real property owned or operated by any Obligor
or any Subsidiary thereof of any Hazardous Material (including any losses, liabilities,
damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental
Law), regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, such Obligor or Subsidiary;
or
(f) each Lender’s Environmental Liability (the indemnification herein shall survive
repayment of the Obligations and any transfer of the property of any Obligor or its
Subsidiaries by foreclosure or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure for any Lender’s
Environmental Liability, regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, such
Obligor or such Subsidiary);
-83-
except for (i) Indemnified Liabilities arising for the account of any Indemnified Party by reason
of any Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) Indemnified Liabilities arising out of any action, suit,
proceeding or claim against an Indemnified Party by any other Indemnified Party not involving the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The Borrower shall not be required to reimburse the legal
fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel for all Indemnified Parties with respect to any
matter for which indemnification is sought unless, as reasonably determined by any such Indemnified
Party or its counsel, representation of all such Indemnified Parties would create an actual
conflict of interest. Each Obligor and its successors and assigns hereby waive, release and agree
not to make any claim or bring any cost recovery action against, any Indemnified Party under CERCLA
or any state equivalent, or any similar law now existing or hereafter enacted. It is expressly
understood and agreed that to the extent that any
Indemnified Party is strictly liable under any Environmental Laws, each Obligor’s obligation to
such Indemnified Party under this indemnity shall likewise be without regard to fault on the part
of any Obligor with respect to the violation or condition which results in liability of an
Indemnified Party. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for
any reason, each Obligor agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of
each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
SECTION 10.5 Survival. The obligations of the Company under Sections 4.3,
4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 10.3 and 10.4, and the obligations of the
Lenders under Section 9.1, shall in each case survive any assignment from one Lender to
another (in the case of Sections 10.3 and 10.4) and the occurrence of the
Termination Date. The representations and warranties made by each Obligor in each Loan Document
shall survive the execution and delivery of such Loan Document.
SECTION 10.6 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
of such Loan Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
SECTION 10.7 Headings. The various headings of each Loan Document are inserted for
convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of such Loan Document or any
provisions thereof.
SECTION 10.8 Execution in Counterparts, Effectiveness, etc. This Agreement may be
executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all
of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become
effective when counterparts hereof executed on behalf of the Borrower, each Agent and each Lender
(or notice thereof satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), shall have been received by the
Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.9
Governing Law; Entire Agreement. EACH LOAN DOCUMENT WILL EACH BE DEEMED
TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK (INCLUDING
FOR SUCH PURPOSE SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE
-84-
OF
NEW YORK). The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with
respect thereto.
SECTION 10.10 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns;
provided that, neither the Company nor the Borrower may assign or transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder without the consent of all Lenders.
SECTION 10.11 Sale and Transfer of Loans; Participations in Loans; Notes. Each Lender
may assign, or sell participations in, its Loans, Letters of Credit and Commitments to one or more
other Persons in accordance with the terms set forth below.
(a) Subject to clause (b), any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or a portion of
its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:
(i) except in the case of (A) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it or (B) an assignment to
a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the
aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding
thereunder) or principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment (determined as of the date the Lender Assignment Agreement with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
$1,000,000, unless the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, otherwise consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the
Loans and the Commitments assigned; and
(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement, together with, if the Eligible Assignee is not already
Lender, administrative details information with respect to such Eligible Assignee and
applicable tax forms.
(b) Any assignment proposed pursuant to clause (a) to any Person (other than a Lender,
an Approved Fund or an Affiliate of any Lender) shall be subject to the prior written approval of
the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
clause (d), from and after the effective date specified in each Lender Assignment
Agreement, (i) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall (if not already a Lender) be a party hereto
and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement, have the rights
and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder
shall (subject to Section 10.5) be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents,
to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement (and, in the case of a
-85-
Lender Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the
Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto, but shall (as to matters arising
prior to the effectiveness of the Lender Assignment Agreement) continue to be entitled to the
benefits of any provisions of the Loan Documents which by their terms survive the termination of
this Agreement). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with the terms of this Section shall be treated for purposes of the
Loan Documents as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with clause (e).
(d) The Administrative Agent shall record each assignment made in accordance with this Section
in the Register pursuant to clause (a) of Section 2.5. The Register shall be
available
for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior
notice to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, any Person, sell participations to
one or more Persons (other than individuals) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights or obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its
Commitments or the Loans owing to it); provided that, (i) such Lender’s obligations under
the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Borrower,
the Administrative 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 the Loan Documents. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the rights and remedies of a Lender under the Loan
Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan
Documents; provided that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will
not, without the consent of the Participant, take any action of the type described in clauses
(a) through (d) or clause (f) of Section 10.1 with respect to
Obligations participated in by that Participant. Subject to clause (f), the Company and
the Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.3,
4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 7.1.1, 10.3 and 10.4 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause
(c). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 4.9 as though it were a Lender, but only if such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 4.8 as though it were a Lender.
(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 10.3 or 10.4 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s
prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not
be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.6 unless the Borrower is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrower, to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 4.6 as though it were a
Lender. Any Lender that sells a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or other interest
to a Participant under this Section shall indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent from and against any taxes, penalties, interest or other costs or losses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or payable by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as a result of the
-86-
failure of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
comply with its obligations to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any payments made pursuant to this
Agreement to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, which Taxes would not
have been incurred or payable if such Participant had been a Non-U.S. Lender that was entitled to
deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and did in fact so deliver, a
duly completed and valid Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or applicable successor form) entitling such
Participant to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal taxes.
(g) Any Lender may, without the consent of any other Person, at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest
shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 10.12 Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude any Agent
or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by the Loan
Documents, with the Company, the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in which the Borrower or such
Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.
SECTION 10.13
Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED
HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF
CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE AGENTS, THE
LENDERS, THE COMPANY OR THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH MAY BE BROUGHT AND
MAINTAINED IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF
NEW YORK;
PROVIDED THAT, ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY
COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY
JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. THE COMPANY AND THE BORROWER
IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL
SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK AT THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES SPECIFIED IN
SECTION
10.2. EACH PERSON PARTY HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF
ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH
LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PERSON PARTY HERETO
HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS
(WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR
OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH PERSON HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
-87-
BY LAW SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS.
SECTION 10.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH AGENT, EACH LENDER, THE COMPANY AND THE
BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
LAW ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR
ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, EACH LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE
OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF SUCH AGENT, SUCH LENDER, THE COMPANY
OR THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THE COMPANY, THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT
HAS
RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF
EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT
FOR EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER ENTERING INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
SECTION 10.15 Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to Section 326 of the Patriot
Act and/or the Agents and/or the Lead Arrangers (each of the foregoing acting for themselves and
not acting on behalf of any of the Lenders) hereby notify 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, the Agents or the Lead Arrangers, as the case may be, to
identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
SECTION 10.16 Counsel Representation. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT
IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY COMPETENT COUNSEL IN THE NEGOTIATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT ANY
RULE OR CONSTRUCTION OF LAW ENABLING SUCH PERSON TO ASSERT THAT ANY AMBIGUITIES OR INCONSISTENCIES
IN THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHOULD DIMINISH ANY RIGHTS OR
REMEDIES OF ANY OTHER PERSON ARE HEREBY WAIVED.
SECTION 10.17 Confidentiality. Each Secured Party agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed
to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (provided that except to the extent
prohibited by such subpoena or similar legal process, such Secured Party shall notify the Company
and the Borrower of such request or disclosure), (d) to any other party hereto, (e) to the extent
reasonably necessary, in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other
Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an
-88-
agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant
in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the written consent
of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as
a result of a breach of this Section (or any other confidentiality obligation owed to the Company
or any Subsidiary or their Affiliates) or (ii) becomes available to any Secured Party or any of
their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company or any
Subsidiary and not in violation of any confidentiality obligation owed to the Company or any
Subsidiary by any Secured Party or any Affiliate thereof. For purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from the Company or any Subsidiary relating to
the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any
such information that is available to any Secured Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality
of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation
to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of
such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information and in accordance
with applicable law.
SECTION 10.18 Intercreditor Agreement. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints,
designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into the
Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions
thereof. Each Lender further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor
Agreement and agrees that it shall not take any action that is prohibited by or inconsistent with
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby agrees that the terms, conditions and
provisions contained in this Agreement are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liens and
security interests securing the Indebtedness and other obligations incurred or arising under or
evidenced by this instrument and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby with respect to such
liens are subordinate, in the manner and to the extent set forth in Intercreditor Agreement, to the
Liens and security interests securing the First Lien Obligations and to the Liens and security
interests securing Indebtedness refinancing the First Lien Obligations as permitted by the
Intercreditor Agreement; and each holder of the Obligations, by its acceptance hereof, irrevocably
agrees to be bound by the terms, conditions and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
(b) The delivery of any Collateral (as defined in any Loan Document) or any certificates,
titles, Instruments, Chattel Paper or Documents evidencing or in connection with such Collateral to
the First Lien Collateral Agent under and in accordance with the First Lien Loan Documents, the
granting of “control” over Collateral, the execution and delivery of control agreements and/or the
assignment of any Collateral (as defined in any Loan Document) to the First Lien Collateral Agent
under and in accordance with the First Lien Loan Documents shall constitute compliance by the
Obligors with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which require delivery,
possession, control and/or assignment of certain types of Collateral (as defined in any Loan
Document) by the Collateral Agent or delivery of control agreements to the Collateral Agent so long
as such First Lien Loan Documents are in full force and effect, the First Lien Termination Date has
not occurred, and the Obligors are in compliance with the applicable provisions thereof with
respect to such Collateral. From and after the First
-00-
Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx Date, where this Agreement refers to any provision of the First Lien Credit Agreement or any action or delivery required by
such provision, such reference shall be deemed to be a reference to such provision as in effect
immediately prior to the First Lien Termination Date except that such action or delivery shall be
made to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent rather than the Collateral Agent and the First
Lien Collateral Agent collectively. Capitalized terms used in this clause (b) not
otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings provided in the UCC.
-90-
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their
respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above written.

GUARANTY
THE EXERCISE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE SECURED PARTIES OF THEIR RIGHTS HEREUNDER IS
SUBJECT TO THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS OF THE

This GUARANTY (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time
to time, this “Guaranty”), dated as of September 5, 2006, is made by HANESBRANDS INC., a
Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and each U.S. Subsidiary of the Company other than the
Borrower (as defined below), from time to time party to this Guaranty (each individually, a
“Subsidiary Guarantor” and, together with the Company, each individually, a
“Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), in favor of CITICORP USA, INC., as
administrative agent (together with its successor(s) thereto in such capacity, the
“Administrative Agent”) for each of the Secured Parties (capitalized terms used herein have
the meanings set forth in or incorporated by reference in Article I).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, pursuant to a
Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of September 5, 2006 (as
amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the

Company, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Citibank, N.A., as the Collateral Agent, Xxxxxxx

Commitments to make Loans to the Borrower; and
WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement, each
Guarantor is required to execute and deliver this Guaranty;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor agrees, for the benefit of each Secured Party, as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
SECTION 1.1. Certain Terms. The following terms (whether or not underscored) when
used in this Guaranty, including its preamble and recitals, shall have the following meanings (such
definitions to be equally applicable to the singular and plural forms thereof):
“Administrative Agent” is defined in the preamble.
“Borrower” is defined in the first recital.
Guaranty (Second Lien)

SECTION 1.2. Credit Agreement Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein or the

ARTICLE II
GUARANTY PROVISIONS
SECTION 2.1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably
(a) guarantees the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by
required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of
each Obligor now or hereafter existing, whether for principal, interest (including interest
accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the occurrence
of any Event of Default set forth in Section 8.1.9 of the Credit Agreement, whether or not a
claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed under applicable law following
the institution of a proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws), fees,
expenses or otherwise (including all such amounts which would become due but for the
operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code,
11 U.S.C. §362(a), and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the United States
Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §502(b) and §506(b)); and
(b) indemnifies and holds harmless each Secured Party for any and all costs and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by such
Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty (in each case to the same extent
the Secured Parties are indemnified and held harmless pursuant to Sections 10.3 and
10.4 of the Credit Agreement);
provided, however, that each Guarantor shall only be liable under this Guaranty for
the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering this Guaranty,
as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or
fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of
payment when due and not of collection, and each Guarantor specifically agrees that to the extent
permitted by applicable law it shall not be necessary or required that any Secured Party exercise
any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against any Obligor or any
other Person before or as a condition to the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.
Guaranty (Second Lien)

SECTION 2.2. Reinstatement, etc. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees
that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside, rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured
Party, including upon the occurrence of any Default set forth in Section 8.1.9 of the Credit
Agreement or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
SECTION 2.3. Guaranty Absolute, etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this
Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of
payment, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date has occurred. Each
Guarantor jointly and severally guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance
with the terms of each Loan Document, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter
in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with
respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be joint and several,
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable to the extent permitted by applicable law irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of any Loan Document;
(b) the failure of any Secured Party
(i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any
Obligor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of
any Loan Document, or
(ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor (including any
Guarantor) of, or collateral securing, any Obligations;
(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all
or any part of the Obligations, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any
Obligation;
(d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations for any
reason (other than the occurrence of the Termination Date), including any claim of waiver,
release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each
Guarantor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law, any right to or claim of) any
defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the
invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or
any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations or otherwise (other than the
occurrence of the Termination Date);
(e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to
or departure from, any of the terms of any Loan Document;
(f) any addition, exchange or release of any collateral or of any Person that is (or
will become) a guarantor (including a Guarantor hereunder) of the Obligations, or any
surrender or non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or
Guaranty (Second Lien)
3
addition to, or consent to or departure from, any other guaranty held by any Secured
Party securing any of the Obligations; or
(g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or
a legal or equitable discharge of, any Obligor, any surety or any guarantor (other than
payment or performance of the Obligations, in each case in full and, with respect to
payments, in cash).
SECTION 2.4. Setoff. Each Secured Party shall, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (d) of
Section 8.1.9 of the Credit Agreement or, with the consent of the Required Lenders, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default (in each case, subject to
the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement), have the right to appropriate and apply
to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (if then due and payable), any and all balances,
credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Guarantor then or thereafter maintained with such
Secured Party (other than payroll, trust or tax accounts); provided that any such
appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 of the Credit
Agreement. Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify the applicable Guarantor and the
Administrative Agent after any such appropriation and application made by such Secured Party;
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff
and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such
Secured Party may have.
SECTION 2.5. Waiver, etc. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by
law, promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the
Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect
or insure any Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action
against any Obligor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) or entity or any collateral
securing the Obligations (subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement), as
the case may be.
SECTION 2.6. Postponement of Subrogation, etc. Each Guarantor agrees that it will, to
the extent permitted by law, not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of
subrogation under any Loan Document, nor shall any Guarantor seek any contribution or reimbursement
from any Obligor in respect of any payment made under any Loan Document until following the
Termination Date. Any amount paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation rights prior
to the Termination Date shall (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) be held in
trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement) immediately be paid and turned over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed in favor of the
Administrative Agent, if required), to be credited and applied against the outstanding Obligations,
in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 2.7; provided,
however, that if any Guarantor has made payment to the Secured Parties of all or any part
of the Obligations and the Termination Date has occurred, then at such Guarantor’s request, the
Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) will, at the expense of such Guarantor,
execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents (without recourse and without
representation or warranty) necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such
Guaranty (Second Lien)
4
Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment. In furtherance of
the foregoing, at all times prior to the Termination Date, each Guarantor shall refrain from taking
any action or commencing any proceeding against any Obligor (or its successors or assigns, whether
in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of
payments made under this Guaranty to any Secured Party other than as required by applicable law to
preserve such rights.
SECTION 2.7. Payments; Application. Subject to the terms, conditions and provisions
of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Guarantor hereby agrees with each Secured Party as follows to
the extent permitted by applicable law:
(a) Each Guarantor agrees that all payments made by such Guarantor hereunder will be
made in Dollars to the Administrative Agent, without set-off, counterclaim or other defense
(other than the defense of payment or performance) and in accordance with Sections 4.6 and
4.7 of the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, each
Guarantor hereby agreeing to comply with and be bound by the provisions of Sections 4.6 and
4.7 of the Credit Agreement in respect of all payments made by it hereunder and the
provisions of which Sections are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Guaranty
by this reference as if set forth herein; provided, that references to the
“Borrower” in such Sections shall also be deemed to be references to each Guarantor, and
references to “this Agreement” in such Sections shall be deemed to be references to this
Guaranty.
(b) All payments made hereunder shall be applied upon receipt as set forth in Section
4.7 of the Credit Agreement.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
In order to induce the Secured Parties to enter into the Credit Agreement and make Loans, each
Guarantor represents and warrants to each Secured Party as set forth below.
SECTION 3.1. Credit Agreement Representations and Warranties. The representations and
warranties contained in Article VI of the Credit Agreement, insofar as the representations and
warranties contained therein are applicable to any Guarantor and its properties, are true and
correct in all material respects, each such representation and warranty set forth in such Article
(insofar as applicable as aforesaid) and all other terms of the Credit Agreement to which reference
is made therein, together with all related definitions and ancillary provisions, being hereby
incorporated into this Guaranty by this reference as though specifically set forth in this Article.
SECTION 3.2. Financial Condition, etc. Each Guarantor has knowledge of each other
Obligor’s financial condition and affairs and that it has adequate means to obtain from each such
Obligor on an ongoing basis information relating thereto and to such Obligor’s ability to pay and
perform the Obligations, and agrees to assume the responsibility for keeping, and to keep, so
informed for so long as this Guaranty is in effect. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that
Guaranty (Second Lien)
5
the Secured Parties shall have no obligation to investigate the financial condition or affairs
of any Obligor for the benefit of such Guarantor nor to advise such Guarantor of any fact
respecting, or any change in, the financial condition or affairs of any other Obligor that might
become known to any Secured Party at any time, whether or not such Secured Party knows or believes
or has reason to know or believe that any such fact or change is unknown to such Guarantor, or
might (or does) materially increase the risk of such Guarantor as guarantor, or might (or would)
affect the willingness of such Guarantor to continue as a guarantor of the Obligations.
SECTION 3.3. Best Interests. It is in the best interests of each Guarantor to execute
this Guaranty inasmuch as such Guarantor will, as a result of being an Affiliate of the Borrower,
derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Loans made from time to time to the
Borrower by the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement and each Guarantor agrees that the Secured
Parties are relying on this representation in agreeing to make Loans to the Borrower.
ARTICLE IV
COVENANTS, ETC.
Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that, at all times prior to the Termination Date, it will
perform, comply with and be bound by all of the agreements to which it is a party, covenants and
obligations contained in the Credit Agreement which are applicable to such Guarantor or its
properties, each such agreement, covenant and obligation contained in the Credit Agreement and all
other terms of the Credit Agreement to which reference is made in this Article, together with all
related definitions and ancillary provisions, being hereby incorporated into this Guaranty by this
reference as though specifically set forth in this Article.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 5.1. Loan Document. This Guaranty is a Loan Document executed pursuant to the
Credit Agreement and shall (unless otherwise expressly indicated herein) be construed, administered
and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof, including Article X thereof.
SECTION 5.2. Binding on Successors, Transferees and Assigns; Assignment. This
Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date has occurred, shall be
jointly and severally binding upon each Guarantor and its successors, transferees and assigns and
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Secured Party and its successors,
transferees and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor may (unless
otherwise permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement) assign any of its obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of all Lenders.
SECTION 5.3. Amendments, etc. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this
Guaranty, nor consent to any departure by any Guarantor from its obligations under this Guaranty,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Guaranty (Second Lien)
6
Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be,
pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement) and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
SECTION 5.4. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder
shall be in writing or by facsimile and addressed, delivered or transmitted to the appropriate
party at the address or facsimile number of such party (in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor, in
care of the Company) set forth on Schedule II to the Credit Agreement or at such other address or
facsimile number as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other party. Any notice, if
mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid or if properly addressed and sent by pre-paid
courier service, shall be deemed given when received; any such notice, if transmitted by facsimile,
shall be deemed given when the confirmation of transmission thereof is received by the transmitter.
SECTION 5.5. Additional Guarantors. Upon the execution and delivery by any other
Person of a supplement in the form of Annex I hereto, such Person shall become a
“Guarantor” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it were originally a party to this
Guaranty and named as a “Guarantor” hereunder. The execution and delivery of such supplement shall
not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder (except to the extent a consent has been
obtained), and the rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Guaranty.
SECTION 5.6. Release of Guarantor. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, this
Guaranty and all obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall terminate, without delivery of any
instrument or performance of any act by any party. In addition, at the request of the Company, and
at the sole expense of the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its
obligations hereunder in the event that the Capital Securities of such Subsidiary Guarantor are
Disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement; provided that the Company
shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, prior to the date of the proposed release, a
written request for release identifying the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor. The Administrative
Agent agrees to deliver to the Company, at the Company’s sole expense, such documents as the
Company may reasonably request to evidence such termination and release.
SECTION 5.7. No Waiver; Remedies. In addition to, and not in limitation of,
Sections 2.3 and 2.5, no failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and
no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any right hereunder 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 5.8. Section Captions. Section captions used in this Guaranty are for
convenience of reference only, and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.

unenforceable, or of any adverse determination (including the institution of, or any such
determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, the United States Copyright Office) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any
Intellectual Property Collateral, its right to register the same or to keep and maintain and
enforce the same;

Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the U.S. Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such
Grantor with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record.
SECTION 4.9. Further Assurances, etc. Subject to the terms, conditions and
restrictions of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor agrees that, from time to time at its own
expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all
further action, that is necessary, in order to perfect, preserve and protect any security interest
granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce
its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, such Grantor will (subject to terms, conditions and restrictions in the
Intercreditor Agreement):
(a) from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent, (i) promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent such stock powers,
instruments and similar documents, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Administrative Agent, with respect to such Collateral as the Administrative Agent may
request and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Specified Default,
transfer any securities constituting Collateral into the name of any nominee designated by

Pledge and Security Agreement (Second Lien)
25
applicable Grantor) in excess of $2,000,000, promptly deliver and pledge to the
Collateral Agent hereunder such Instrument, negotiable Document, Promissory Note or tangible

promulgated under or pursuant to any version thereof), as shall be necessary that the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect and preserve the security
interests and other rights granted or purported to be granted to the Collateral Agent
hereby;
(c) promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent and at all times keep pledged to the
Collateral Agent pursuant hereto, on a Second-Priority, or at all times after the First Lien

Dividends and Distributions with respect thereto, and all interest and principal with
respect to Promissory Notes, and all Proceeds and rights from time to time received by or
distributable to such Grantor in respect of any of the foregoing Collateral;
(d) not take or omit to take any action the taking or the omission of which would
result in any impairment or alteration of any obligation of the maker of any Payment
Intangible or other Instrument constituting Collateral, except as provided in Section

acceptable to the Administrative Agent indicating that the Collateral Agent has a security
interest in any tangible Chattel Paper;
(f) furnish to the Collateral Agent, from time to time at the Administrative Agent’s
reasonable request, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the

Agent in accordance with this Security Agreement in order to enable the Collateral Agent to
have and maintain control over the Collateral consisting of Investment Property, Deposit
Accounts, Letter-of-Credit-Rights and Electronic Chattel Paper to the extent required
herein.
With respect to the foregoing and the grant of the security interest hereunder, each Grantor hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to file one or more financing or
continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral; and
to make all relevant filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United
Pledge and Security Agreement (Second Lien)
26
States Copyright Office in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral, in each case naming the
Collateral Agent as “Secured Party” (or other similar term). Each Grantor agrees that a carbon,
photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any UCC financing statement
covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a UCC financing statement where
permitted by law. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing
statements describing as the collateral covered thereby “all of the debtor’s personal property or
assets”, “all assets”, “all personal property” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such
wording may be broader in scope than the Collateral described in this Security Agreement.
SECTION 4.10. Deposit Accounts. Promptly following the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Specified Default, at the request of the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the
Administrative Agent), such Grantor will maintain all of its Deposit Accounts only with the
Collateral Agent or with any depositary institution that has entered into a Control Agreement in
favor of the Collateral Agent. Subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions in the
Intercreditor Agreement, such Control Agreements shall permit the Collateral Agent (at the written
instructions of the Administrative Agent) to deliver a notice of sole exclusive control during the
continuance of an Event of Default. Subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions in the
Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent the Collateral Agent (at the written instructions of the
Administrative Agent) has delivered a notice of sole control with respect to any such Deposit
Accounts pursuant to a Control Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify (no
later than 2 Business Days) all such depository banks that the notice of exclusive control has been
rescinded and the applicable Grantor shall have the right to withdraw funds from such Deposit
Account(s) following the cure or waiver of all Specified Defaults.

each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from

necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, in each case subject to the terms,
conditions and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, including:
(a) with two Business Days prior notice to the applicable Grantor, to ask,
demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and
receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the
Collateral;
(b) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents
and Chattel Paper, in connection with clause (a) above;
(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which
the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of
Pledge and Security Agreement (Second Lien)

any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral
Agent with respect to any of the Collateral; and
(d) to perform the affirmative obligations of such Grantor hereunder.
Each Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant
to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
SECTION 5.2. Collateral Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any
agreement contained herein and the Administrative Agent provides prior notice to such Grantor of
such failure, within three days of such notice, the Grantor shall perform, cause to be performed or
agree to perform (and thereafter actually perform within seven days after such notice) such
agreement, the Collateral Agent may (but shall have not obligation to) itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by such Grantor pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 5.3. Collateral Agent Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Collateral
Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable
care of any Collateral in its possession, the accounting for moneys actually received by it
hereunder and, except to the extent of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the
Collateral Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents, the Collateral
Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or responsibility for
(a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions,
exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Investment Property,
whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such
matters, or
(b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any
other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
SECTION 5.4. Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable
care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided
that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of any of the Collateral, if (i) such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially
equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property or (ii) it takes such action for
that purpose as each Grantor reasonably requests in writing at times other than upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Specified Default, but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply
with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable
care.
SECTION 5.5. Liability.
(a) No provision of this Security Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or
Pledge and Security Agreement (Second Lien)
28
powers and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or
diminution in the value of any of the Collateral.
(b) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for special,
indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited
to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
SECTION 5.6. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or
liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or
caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation,
strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances,
nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of
utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that
the Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in
the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.
ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
SECTION 6.1. Certain Remedies. If any Specified Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given written notice to the relevant Grantor of
the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to this Section:
(a) The Collateral Agent (subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement) may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other
rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and
remedies of a Secured Party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the
affected Collateral) and also may (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) to the extent
permitted by applicable law:
(i) take possession of any Collateral not already in its possession without
demand and without legal process;
(ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at
its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part
of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the
Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is
reasonably convenient to both parties;
(iii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take
possession thereof without demand and without legal process; and
(iv) without notice except as specified below and to the extent permitted by
applicable law, lease, or license, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or
any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the
Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery,
Pledge and Security Agreement (Second Lien)
29
and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the
Administrative Agent, may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that,
to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ prior
notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after
which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The
Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of
notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or
private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor,
and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it
was so adjourned.
(b) Subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, all
cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from,
or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the
Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 4.7 of the Credit Agreement.
(c) The Collateral Agent may (subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement)
(i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Collateral
Agent or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to
the Lien hereunder;
(ii) with two Business Days prior notice to the applicable Grantor, notify the
parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Collateral Agent
of any amount due or to become due thereunder;
(iii) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to
the Collateral Account to repay the Obligations or otherwise apply such funds in
accordance with Section 4.7 of the Credit Agreement;
(iv) enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and
surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or
renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any
obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto;
(v) endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s name to
allow collection of the Collateral;
(vi) take control of any Proceeds of the Collateral; and

assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with
respect to all or any of the Collateral;
(d) Without limiting the foregoing, in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral:
Pledge and Security Agreement (Second Lien)
30
(i) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall execute
and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of the Intellectual
Property Collateral, subject (in the case of any licenses thereunder) to any valid
and enforceable requirements to obtain consents from any third parties, and such
other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes
hereof;
(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion,
(which right shall take precedence over any right or action of any Grantor) to file
applications and maintain registrations for the protection of the Intellectual
Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral
Agent or any Secured Party to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any
licenses thereunder and, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor
shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist with such filing or
enforcement (including the execution of relevant documents); and
(iii) in the event that the Collateral Agent elects not to make any filing or
bring any suit as set forth in clause (ii), such Grantor shall, upon the request of
Collateral Agent, use all commercially reasonable efforts, whether through making
appropriate filings or bringing suit or otherwise, to protect, enforce and prevent
the infringement, misappropriation, dilution, unauthorized use or other violation of
the Intellectual Property Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, for the purposes of this
Section 6.1, “Collateral” and “Intellectual Property Collateral” shall include any “intent
to use” trademark application only to the extent (i) that the business of such Grantor, or portion
thereof, to which that xxxx pertains is also included in the Collateral and (ii) that such business
is ongoing and existing.
SECTION 6.2. Securities Laws. Subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of
the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Administrative Agent,
shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Collateral that are Capital
Securities pursuant to Section 6.1, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the
Administrative Agent, each Grantor will, at its own expense:
(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver, and cause (or,
with respect to any issuer which is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause) each issuer of the Collateral contemplated
to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such
instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and
things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent,
advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of
1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), and use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto
to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are
required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto
and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the
Pledge and Security Agreement (Second Lien)
31
Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC
applicable thereto;
(b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to exempt the Collateral under the
state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental
approvals for the sale of the Collateral, as requested by the Administrative Agent;
(c) cause (or, with respect to any issuer that is not a Subsidiary of such
Grantor, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause) each such issuer to make
available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement
that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and
(d) do or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be done all such
other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any
part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be
suffered by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties by reason of the failure by such Grantor to
perform any of the covenants contained in this Section and consequently agrees that, if such
Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as
a penalty, an amount equal to the value (as determined by the Collateral Agent) of such Collateral
on the date the Collateral Agent shall demand compliance with this Section.
SECTION 6.3. Compliance with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of
any of the Collateral whenever a Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection
with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of
applicable law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective
bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain
qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent
and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale
or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and such Grantor further agrees that
such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable nor accountable to such
Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in
compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
SECTION 6.4. Protection of Collateral. The Collateral Agent may (subject to the
terms, conditions and restrictions of the Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time, at the
direction of the Administrative Agent, perform any act which any Grantor fails, within three days
following the request by the Collateral Agent, to perform or agree to perform (and thereafter
actually perform within seven days following notice of requested performance) (it being understood
that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified
Pledge and Security Agreement (Second Lien)
32
Default) and the Collateral Agent may (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) from time to
time take any other action which the Administrative Agent deems necessary for the maintenance,
preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein.
ARTICLE VII

SECTION 7.3. Amendments, etc. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this
Security Agreement, nor consent to any departure by any Grantor from its obligations under this

the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Pledge and Security Agreement (Second Lien)
33
SECTION 7.6. Additional Grantors. Upon the execution and delivery by any other Person
of a supplement in the form of Annex I hereto, such U.S. Person shall become a “Grantor”
hereunder with the same force and effect as if it were originally a party to this Security
Agreement and named as a “Grantor” hereunder. The execution and delivery of such supplement shall
not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder (except to the extent already obtained), and
the rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement.
SECTION 7.7. No Waiver; Remedies. In addition to, and not in limitation of
Section 2.4, no failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right hereunder 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 7.8. Headings. The various headings of this Security Agreement are inserted
for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Security Agreement
or any provisions thereof.
SECTION 7.9. Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions of this Security Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 7.10. Governing Law, Entire Agreement, etc. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE
DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
(INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSE SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION, EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NONPERFECTION, AND
PRIORITY OF THE SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR
COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. This
Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior
agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.
SECTION 7.11. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed by the parties
hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
shall constitute together but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page to this Security Agreement by facsimile (or other electronic) transmission shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.
SECTION 7.12. Foreign Pledge Agreements. Without limiting any of the rights,
remedies, privileges or benefits provided hereunder to the Collateral Agent for its benefit and the
Pledge and Security Agreement (Second Lien)
34
ratable benefit of the other Secured Parties, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent hereby
agree that the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement in respect of any Collateral subject
to the pledge or other Lien of a Foreign Pledge Agreement are, and shall be deemed to be,
supplemental and in addition to the rights, remedies, privileges and benefits provided to the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties under such Foreign Pledge Agreement and under
applicable law to the extent consistent with applicable law; provided that, in the event
that the terms of this Security Agreement conflict or are inconsistent with the applicable Foreign
Pledge Agreement or applicable law governing such Foreign Pledge Agreement, (i) to the extent that
the provisions of such Foreign Pledge Agreement or applicable foreign law are, under applicable
foreign law, necessary for the creation, perfection or priority of the security interests in the
Collateral subject to such Foreign Pledge Agreement, the terms of such Foreign Pledge Agreement or
such applicable law shall be controlling and (ii) otherwise, the terms hereof shall be controlling.
SECTION 7.13. Intercreditor Agreement. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Security
Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder is subject to
the terms, conditions and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement in all respects. In the event
of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Security Agreement, the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control in all respects. The Liens and
security interests securing the Indebtedness and other obligations incurred or arising under or
evidenced by this instrument and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby with respect to such
Liens are subordinate, in the manner and to the extent set forth in Intercreditor Agreement, to the
Liens and security interests securing the First Lien Obligations and to the Liens and security
interests securing Indebtedness refinancing the First Lien Obligations as permitted by the
Intercreditor Agreement; and each holder of the Obligations, by its acceptance hereof, irrevocably
agrees to be bound by the terms, conditions and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
(b) The delivery of any Collateral or any certificates, titles, Instruments, Chattel Paper or
Documents evidencing or in connection with such Collateral to the First Lien Collateral Agent under
and in accordance with the First Lien Loan Documents, the granting of “control” over Collateral,
the execution and delivery of Control Agreements and/or the assignment of any Collateral to the
First Lien Collateral Agent under and in accordance with the First Lien Loan Documents shall
constitute compliance by the Grantor with the provisions of this Security Agreement or any other
Loan Document which require delivery, possession, control and/or assignment of certain types of
Collateral by the Collateral Agent or delivery of control agreements to the Collateral Agent so
long as such First Lien Loan Documents are in full force and effect, the First Lien Termination
Date has not occurred, and the Grantors are in compliance with the applicable provisions thereof
with respect to such Collateral. From and after the First Lien Termination Date, where this
Security Agreement refers to any provision of the First Lien Credit Agreement or any action or
delivery required by such provision, such reference shall be deemed to be a reference to such
provision as in effect immediately prior to the First Lien Termination Date except that such action
or delivery shall be made to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent rather than the First Lien
Collateral Agent.
Pledge and Security Agreement (Second Lien)

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Security Agreement to be duly
executed and delivered by its Authorized Officer, solely in such capacity and not as an individual,
as of the date first above written.

ARTICLE II
LIEN PRIORITIES
SECTION 2.1. Lien Priority.
(a) Priority. Notwithstanding (i) the date, time, method, manner or order of
grant, attachment or perfection (or failure to perfect) of any Liens granted to the Second
Lien Agent or the Second Lien Lenders on all or any portion of the Common Collateral or of
any Liens granted to the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Lenders on all or any portion of
the Common Collateral, and regardless of how such Lien was acquired (whether by grant,
statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise), (ii) the order or time of filing or
recordation of any document or instrument for perfecting the Liens in favor of the First
Lien Agent or the Second Lien Agent (or any First Lien Lender or Second Lien Lender) in any
Common Collateral, (iii) any provision of the UCC, the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable
law, the First Lien Documents or the Second Lien Documents, (iv) whether the First Lien
Agent or the Second Lien Agent, in each case, either directly or through agents, holds
possession of, or has control over, all or any part of the Common Collateral, (v) the fact
that any Liens in favor of the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Lenders securing any of
the First Lien Obligations are (A) subordinated to any Lien securing any obligation of any
Borrower or any Guarantor other than the First Lien Obligations or (B) otherwise
subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated, or lapsed, or (vi) any other circumstance
whatsoever, the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Lenders, hereby
agrees that: (x) any Lien on any Common Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations now
or hereafter held by the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Lenders shall be senior in
priority to all Liens on any Common Collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations; and (y)
any Lien on any Common Collateral now or hereafter held by the Second Lien Agent or the
Second Lien Lenders shall be and are expressly junior and subordinate in priority to any and
all Liens on any Common Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations.
(b) Effect of Perfection or Failure to Perfect. Notwithstanding any failure by
the First Lien Agent, any First Lien Lender, the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Lender
to perfect its security interests in any Common Collateral or any avoidance, invalidation or
subordination by any third party or court of the security interests in any Common Collateral
granted to any such Person, the priority and rights as between the First Lien Agent and the
First Lien Lenders on the one hand and the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Lenders on
the other hand with respect to any Common Collateral shall be as set forth in this
Agreement.
(c) Nature of First Lien Obligations. The Second Lien Agent on behalf of
itself and the Second Lien Lenders acknowledges that a portion of the First Lien Obligations
are revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or
from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the
terms of the First Lien Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from
Intercreditor Agreement (Second Lien)
11
time to time, and (subject to the proviso in the definition of First Lien Financing
Agreement) the aggregate amount of the First Lien Obligations may be increased, replaced or
refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by the Second Lien Agent or any
Second Lien Lender and without affecting the provisions hereof. The lien priorities
provided in this Section shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment,
modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal,
restatement or refinancing of either the First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien
Obligations, or any portion thereof.
SECTION 2.2. Prohibition on Contesting Liens. The Second Lien Agent, for itself and
on behalf of each Second Lien Lender, and the First Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each
First Lien Lender, each agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) directly or
indirectly contest or support any other Person in contesting, or objecting to, in any proceeding
(including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the priority, perfection, validity or
enforceability of any Lien in any Common Collateral granted to the other, or the provisions of this
Agreement.
SECTION 2.3. No New Liens.
(a) Limitation on other Collateral for First Lien Lenders. So long as any
Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and subject to Section 6 hereof, (i) the
First Lien Agent agrees that, after the date hereof, neither the First Lien Agent nor any
First Lien Lender shall acquire or hold any Lien (other than cash collateralization of any
First Lien Obligation consisting of letters of credit, Hedging Obligations or Bank Product
Obligations) on any assets of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries securing any First Lien Obligations which assets are not also subject to the
second-priority Lien of the Second Lien Agent under the Second Lien Documents, and (ii) each
Borrower and each Guarantor agrees not to grant any Lien on any of its assets, or permit any
of its Subsidiaries to xxxxx x Xxxx (other than cash collateralization of any First Lien
Obligation consisting of letters of credit, Hedging Obligations or Bank Product Obligations)
on any of its assets, in favor of the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Lenders securing
the First Lien Obligations unless it, or such Subsidiary, has granted a similar Lien on such
assets in favor of the Second Lien Agent or the Second Lien Lenders securing the Second Lien
Obligations. If the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Lender shall acquire any Lien (other
than cash collateralization of any First Lien Obligation consisting of letters of credit,
Hedging Obligations or Bank Product Obligations) on any assets of any Borrower, any
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries securing any First Lien Obligations which
assets are not also subject to the second-priority Lien of the Second Lien Agent under the
Second Lien Documents, then the First Lien Agent (or the relevant First Lien Lender), shall,
without the need for any further consent of any other Person and notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in any other First Lien Document (A) be deemed to hold and have held such Lien
for the benefit of the Second Lien Agent as security for the Second Lien Obligations subject
to the priorities and other terms set forth herein or (B) release such Lien.
(b) Limitation on other Collateral for Second Lien Lenders. Until the date
upon which the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall have occurred, (i) the Second
Intercreditor Agreement (Second Lien)
12
Lien Agent agrees that, after the date hereof, neither the Second Lien Agent nor any
Second Lien Lender shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Borrower, any
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries securing any Second Lien Obligations which
assets are not also subject to the first-priority Lien of the First Lien Agent securing the
First Lien Obligations, and (ii) each Borrower and each Guarantor agrees not to grant any
Lien on any of its assets, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to xxxxx x Xxxx on any of its
assets, in favor of the Second Lien Agent or the Second Lien Lenders securing the Second
Lien Obligations unless it, or such Subsidiary, has granted a similar Lien on such assets in
favor of the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Lenders. If the Second Lien Agent or any
Second Lien Lender shall acquire any Lien on any assets of any Borrower, any Guarantor or
any of their respective Subsidiaries securing any Second Lien Obligations which assets are
not also subject to the first-priority Lien of the First Lien Agent securing the First Lien
Obligations, then the Second Lien Agent (or the relevant Second Lien Lender), shall, without
the need for any further consent of any other Person and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in any other Second Lien Document (A) be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for
the benefit of the First Lien Agent as security for the First Lien Obligations subject to
the priorities and other terms set forth herein or (B) release such Lien.
SECTION 2.4. Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto agree that it is their
intention that the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral be identical. In
furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree:
(a) upon request of the First Lien Agent or the Second Lien Agent, to cooperate in good
faith (and to direct their counsel and agents to cooperate in good faith) from time to time
in order to determine the specific items included in the First Lien Collateral and the
Second Lien Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the
identity of the respective grantors with respect thereto; and
(b) that the terms and provisions contained in the documents and agreements creating or
evidencing the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral shall be in all material
respects be the same forms of documents other than with respect to the priority of the Liens
thereunder.

respective Subsidiaries, or (ii) the Second Lien Enforcement Date, neither the Second Lien Agent
nor the Second Lien Lenders:
(a) will oppose, object to or contest in any manner, any foreclosure, sale, lease,

Lien Lender shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the First Lien
Agent or any First Lien Lender with respect to any Common Collateral or pursuant to the

(f) will seek, and hereby waive any right, to have the Common Collateral or any part
thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of any Common Collateral.
SECTION 3.2. Exclusive Enforcement; Nature of Rights.
(a) Limitation on Action by Second Lien Lenders. Until the earlier of (i) the
date upon which the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall have occurred, whether or not
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Borrower, any
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (ii) the Second Lien Enforcement Date,
the Second Lien Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Lenders, that the
First Lien Agent and the First Lien Lenders shall have the exclusive right to enforce
rights, exercise remedies (including setoff) and make determinations regarding release (in

Collateral, (C) the Second Lien Agent shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or
defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other
pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims
of the Second Lien Lenders or the Second Lien Agent, including any claims secured by any
Common Collateral, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (D) the
Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Lenders shall be entitled to file any pleadings,
objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured
creditors of the Second Lien Borrower and the Second Lien Guarantors arising under either
bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law, except as specifically prohibited herein, (E) the Second
Lien Lenders and the Second Lien Agent shall be entitled to file any proof of claim and

Section 3.4, if the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Lender or Second Lien Agent or any
Second Lien Lender enforces its rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement,

SECTION 5.3. Amendments to Second Lien Collateral Documents.
(a) Until the date upon which the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall have
occurred, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agent, no Second Lien
Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to
the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second Lien
Financing Agreement or Second Lien Collateral Document, would contravene any of the terms of
this Agreement. The Second Lien Agent agrees that each Second Lien Collateral Document
shall include the following language:
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to
the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by
the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement,
dated as of the date hereof, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, modified or
replaced from time to time (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) among Citibank, N.A., as
Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, N.A., as Second Lien Agent, Citibank, N.A., as Control Agent,
the First Lien Borrower, the First Lien Guarantors, the Second Lien Borrower and the Second
Lien Guarantors (each as defined therein) from time to time a party thereto. In the event
of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”
In addition, the Second Lien Agent agrees that each Second Lien Collateral Document under which any
Lien on real property owned by the Second Lien Borrower or any Second Lien Guarantor is granted to
secure the Second Lien Obligations covering any Common Collateral shall contain such other language
as the First Lien Agent may reasonably request to reflect the priority of the First Lien Collateral
Document covering such Common Collateral over such Second Lien Collateral Document.
(b) Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agent (and any required consent
of the First Lien Lenders), no Second Lien Document may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification would (i)
increase the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the loans under the Second Lien
Financing Agreement to an amount exceeding $450,000,000, (ii) contravene the provisions of
this Agreement, (iii) increase the “Applicable Margin” or similar component of the interest
on the loans thereunder by more than 3.0% per annum (exclusive, for the avoidance of doubt,
of any imposition of up to 2.0% of “default” interest), (iv) provide for dates for payment
of principal, interest, premium (if any) or fees which are earlier than such dates under the
Second Lien Financing Agreement, (v) provide for covenants, events of default or remedies
which are more restrictive on any Guarantor than those set forth in the Second Lien
Financing Agreement, (vi) provide for redemption, prepayment or defeasance provisions that
are
Intercreditor Agreement (Second Lien)
19
more burdensome on any Guarantor than those set forth in the Second Lien Financing
Agreement, (vii) provide for collateral securing Indebtedness thereunder which is more
extensive than the collateral provided with respect to the First Lien Financing Agreement or
(viii) increase the obligations of any Guarantor (except as set forth herein) or confer any
additional rights on any Second Lien Lender which could reasonably be expected to be adverse
to the First Lien Lender.
(c) Without the prior written consent of the Second Lien Agent (and any required
consent of the Second Lien Lenders), no First Lien Document may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification would (i)
contravene the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) increase the then outstanding aggregate
principal amount of the loans under the First Lien Financing Agreement plus, if any, any
undrawn portion of any commitment under the First Lien Financing Agreement in excess of the
Maximum First Lien Principal Amount or (iii) increase the “Applicable Margin” or similar
component of the interest of the loans thereunder by more than 3.0% per annum from the
“Applicable Margin” or similar component of the interest under the First Lien Financing
Agreement as in effect as of the date hereof (exclusive, for the avoidance of doubt, of any
imposition of up to 2.0% of “default” interest).
SECTION 5.4. Rights as Unsecured Creditors and Judgment Creditors.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 3.1 and Section
3.2 and subject to Article VI, (i) the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien
Lenders may exercise all rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Second Lien
Borrower, the Second Lien Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries in accordance with the
terms of the Second Lien Documents and applicable law and this Agreement, and (ii) nothing
in this Agreement shall prohibit the acceleration of the obligations under the Second Lien
Documents or the receipt of the Second Lien Agent or the Second Lien Lenders of the required
payments of principal and interest and other amounts, so long as such receipt is not the
direct or indirect result of the exercise of the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Lender
of rights and remedies as a secured creditor or enforcement in contravention of this
Agreement of any Lien held by any of them.
(b) In the event the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Lender becomes a judgment
lien creditor in respect of Common Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights
as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement
for all purposes and shall be junior to the Liens securing First Lien Obligations on the
same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are junior to such First
Lien Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement modifies any rights or
remedies the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Lenders may have with respect to the First
Lien Collateral.
SECTION 5.5. Limited Agency of Citibank, N.A. for Perfection.
(a) The First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Lenders, and the

20
Citibank, N.A. as its collateral agent (in such capacity, together with any successor
in such capacity appointed by the First Lien Agent and consented to by the Second Lien Agent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the “Control Agent”) for
the limited purpose of acting as the agent on behalf of the First Lien Agent (on behalf of
itself and the First Lien Lenders) and the Second Lien Agent (on behalf of itself and the
Second Lien Lenders) with respect to the Control Collateral for purposes of perfecting the
Liens of such parties on the Control Collateral. The Control Agent accepts such appointment
and agrees to hold the Control Collateral that is part of the Common Collateral in its
possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as Control
Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Agent (on behalf of itself and the First Lien
Lenders) and the Second Lien Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Lenders) and any
permitted assignee of any thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest
granted to such parties in such Control Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Section. The Control Agent, the First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the First
Lien Lenders, and the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Lenders,
each hereby agrees that the First Lien Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and
authority to give instructions to, and otherwise direct, the Control Agent in respect of the
Control Collateral or any control agreement with respect to any Control Collateral until the
earlier of the date upon which the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall have occurred
and the Second Lien Enforcement Date, and neither the Second Lien Agent nor any Second Lien
Lender will hinder, delay or interfere with the exercise of such rights by the First Lien
Agent in any respect. The First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent hereby acknowledge
that the Control Agent will obtain “control” under the UCC over each Controlled Account as
contemplated by the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents
for the benefit of both the First Lien Agent (on behalf of itself and the First Lien
Lenders) and the Second Lien Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Lenders)
pursuant to the control agreements relating to each respective Controlled Account. The
Borrowers hereby agree to pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Control Agent to
the same extent and on the same terms that the First Lien Borrower is required to do so for
the First Lien Agent in accordance with the First Lien Financing Agreement. The First Lien
Agent and the Second Lien Agent hereby also acknowledge and agree that the Control Agent, to
the extent it receives landlord lien waivers, will receive such landlord lien waivers for
the benefit of the Second Lien Agent for the benefit of Second Lien Lenders and the First
Lien Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Lenders. Except as set forth below, the
Control Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Second Lien Agent or any Second
Lien Lender including any obligation to assure that the Control Collateral is genuine or
owned by any Borrower, any Guarantor or one of their respective Subsidiaries or to preserve
rights or benefits of any Second Lien Lender or the Second Lien Agent except as expressly
set forth in this Section. In acting on behalf of the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien
Lenders, the duties or responsibilities of the Control Agent under this Section shall be
limited solely (i) to physically holding the Control Collateral delivered to the Control
Agent by the Borrowers, Guarantors or any Subsidiary of such Person as agent for the Second
Lien Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Lenders) for purposes of perfecting the
Lien held by the Second Lien
Intercreditor Agreement (Second Lien)
21
Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Lenders) and (ii) delivering such
collateral as set forth in clause (d) of Section 5.5.
(b) The rights of the Second Lien Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of
this Agreement and to the First Lien Agent’s rights under the First Lien Documents.
(c) The First Lien Agent shall not have by reason of the Second Lien Security Agreement
or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Second
Lien Agent or any Second Lien Lender.
(d) Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the Control Agent shall deliver to
the Second Lien Agent the Control Collateral together with any necessary endorsements (or
otherwise allow the Second Lien Agent to obtain control of such Control Collateral) or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
(e) Upon the Discharge of the Second Lien Obligations, the Control Agent shall deliver
to the applicable Borrower or Guarantor the Control Collateral together with any necessary
endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
SECTION 5.6. Inspection Rights. Subject to the First Lien Documents and the Second
Lien Documents, and solely between the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Lenders, on the one
hand, and the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Lenders, on the other hand,
(a) the First Lien Agent and its representatives and invitees may at any time inspect,
repossess, remove and otherwise deal with the Common Collateral, and the First Lien Agent
may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of any Common Collateral, in each
case without notice to (except as provided in Section 7.5), the involvement of or
interference by the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Lender or liability to the Second
Lien Agent or any Second Lien Lender.
(b) The Second Lien Agent may inspect the Common Collateral, in accordance with Second
Lien Documents, so long as such inspection does not interfere with the rights of the First
Lien Agent under Section 3.1 or under the First Lien Documents.
ARTICLE VI
INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS
SECTION 6.1. Financing and Sale Issues. If any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be
subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and at any time prior to the Discharge of First
Lien Obligations the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Lenders shall desire to permit (or not
object to) the sale, use or lease of cash collateral or to permit (or not object to) any Borrower
to obtain financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or to provide such
financing (“DIP Financing”), then, so long as the maximum amount of Indebtedness that may
be incurred in connection with such DIP Financing shall not exceed an amount equal to the Maximum
First Lien Principal Debt Amount, then the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second
Lien Lenders, and each Second Lien Lender by becoming a Second Lien Lender, agrees that it will
raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to, such sale, use, or lease of cash
collateral or DIP Financing and will not request any form of
Intercreditor Agreement (Second Lien)
22
adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as agreed by the First
Lien Agent or to the extent expressly permitted by Section 6.3) and, to the extent the
Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinate to or pari passu with such DIP Financing,
it (x) will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Liens securing the
Second Lien Obligations (x) to such DIP Financing with, if applicable, the same terms and
conditions as the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated thereto (and such
subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (y) to any adequate
protection provided to the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Lenders and (z) to any “carve-out”
for professionals and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the First Lien Agent or the First
Lien Lenders, and (ii) agrees that notice received four (4) calendar days prior to the entry of an
order approving such usage of cash collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice.
The Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Lenders, agrees that it will raise
no objection to or oppose a sale or other disposition of any Common Collateral free and clear of
its Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or otherwise) if the First Lien
Required Lenders have consented to (or supported) such sale or disposition of such assets so long
as the respective interests of the Second Lien Lenders attach to the proceeds thereof, subject to
the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.2. Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the date upon which the Discharge
of First Lien Obligations shall have occurred, the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Second Lien Lenders, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any
other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any Common Collateral, without
the prior written consent of the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Required Lenders.
SECTION 6.3. Adequate Protection. The Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Second Lien Lenders, agrees that none of them shall object, contest, or support any other Person
objecting to or contesting, (i) any request by the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Lenders for
adequate protection or (ii) any objection by the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Lender to any
motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection or (iii) the
payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to the First Lien Agent or any First Lien
Lender under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Section and in Section 6.1, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding,
(x) the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Lenders, may seek, support, accept or retain adequate
protection (A) only if the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Lenders are granted adequate
protection that includes replacement liens on additional collateral and superpriority claims and
the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Lenders do not object to the adequate protection being
provided to the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Lenders and (B) in the form of (1) a
replacement Lien on such additional collateral, subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien
Obligations and such DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien
Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement and (y)
superpriority claims junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted to the First Lien
Agent and the First Lien Lenders, and (2) in the event the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself
and the Second Lien Lenders, receives adequate protection, including in the form of additional
collateral, then the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Lenders,
agrees that the First Lien Agent shall have a senior Lien and claim on such adequate protection as
security for the First Lien Obligations and that any Lien on any
Intercreditor Agreement (Second Lien)
23
additional collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens
on such collateral securing the First Lien Obligations and any DIP Financing (and all Obligations
relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Lenders as
adequate protection, with such subordination to be on the same terms that the other Liens securing
the Second Lien Obligations are subordinated to such First Lien Obligations under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the First Lien Lenders are deemed by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be fully secured on the petition date, then the Second Lien Lenders shall not be
prohibited from seeking adequate protection in the form of interest, fees or other cash payments.
SECTION 6.4. No Waiver. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit
the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Lender from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second Lien Agent or any of the Second Lien
Lenders, including, without limitation, the seeking by the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien
Lender of adequate protection or the asserting by the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Lender
of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Documents or otherwise, unless, in each
case, such action is consistent with the terms of this Section 6.
SECTION 6.5. Preference Issues. If the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Lender is
required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to
the estate of the First Lien Borrower or any First Lien Guarantor any amount (whether received by
or on behalf of the First Lien Borrower or any First Lien Guarantor, as proceeds of security,
enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) (a “Recovery”), then the obligation or
part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be reinstated and outstanding as First Lien
Obligations as if such payment had not occurred to the extent of such Recovery and the Discharge of
First Lien Obligations shall be deemed to not have occurred. If this Agreement shall have been
terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and
such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the
obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. The Second Lien Agent and the
Second Lien Lenders agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action
affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this
Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of
such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for
application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement. In the event that any
such payment with respect to the First Lien Obligations results in a Discharge of First Lien
Obligations, the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Lenders agree that the Second Lien Agent and
the Second Lien Lenders shall be permitted to act hereunder as though a Discharge of First Lien
Obligations had occurred during the period from such payment until the date of such reinstatement
of the First Lien Obligations and shall have no liability to the First Lien Agent or the First Lien
Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder in accordance therewith, except to
the extent such act or omission is found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the
Second Lien Agent or Second Lien Lenders.
SECTION 6.6. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The Second Lien
Agent on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Lenders acknowledges and agrees that (i) the
Intercreditor Agreement (Second Lien)
24
grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral
Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other
things, their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the Second Lien Obligations are
fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any
plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further
effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is
held that the claims of the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Lenders and the Second Lien Agent
and the Second Lien Lenders in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only one secured claim
(rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Second Lien Agent on
behalf of itself and the Second Lien Lenders hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions
shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the
Borrowers and the Guarantors in respect of the Common Collateral (with the effect being that, to
the extent that the aggregate value of the Common Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose
ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Lenders), the First Lien
Agent and the First Lien Lenders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed
to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in
respect of post-petition interest before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by
the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Lenders, with the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien
Lenders hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Agent and the First Lien
Lenders amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the
intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of
the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Lenders).
SECTION 6.7. Other Matters. To the extent that the Second Lien Agent or any Second
Lien Lender has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with
respect to any of the Common Collateral, the Second Lien Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the
Second Lien Lenders not to assert any of such rights without the prior written consent of the First
Lien Agent; provided that if requested by the First Lien Agent, the Second Lien Agent shall timely
exercise such rights in the manner requested by the First Lien Agent, including any rights to
payments in respect of such rights.
SECTION 6.8. Effectiveness in Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. This Agreement,
which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Borrower or any
Guarantor shall include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such
Person in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

or any of the Second Lien Lenders to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or
results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any
agreements with any Borrower or any Guarantor (including, without limitation, the Second

the proviso set forth in the definition of the term “First Lien Financing Agreement”), the
First Lien Lenders, the First Lien Agent and any of them, may, at any time and from time to

shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the First Lien

Lien Agent or any of the First Lien Lenders, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at
any time or from time to time to provide any such information to the Second Lien Agent or
any Second Lien Lender, it or they shall be under no obligation (x) to provide any
