hereby agrees to make the Loans described in subsection 2.1A(ii).
(i) Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Lender severally agrees, subject to the
limitations set forth below with respect to the maximum amount of Revolving Loans permitted
to be outstanding from time to time, to lend to Company from
24
time to time during the period
from the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date an

Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at any time exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then in
effect.
(ii) Swing Line Loans. Swing Line Lender hereby agrees, subject to the limitations

such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans
and Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage then in effect, may
exceed Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. The original amount of the Swing
Line Loan Commitment is $150,000,000; provided that any reduction of the Revolving Loan
Commitments made pursuant to subsection 2.4A(ii) which reduces the aggregate Revolving Loan

hereunder, unless Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory
to it and Company to eliminate Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the participation
in Swing Line Loans by all such Defaulting Lenders, including by requiring Company to cash
collateralize each such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Swing Line Loan.
With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been voluntarily prepaid by Company
pursuant to subsection 2.4A(i), Swing Line Lender may, at any time in its sole and absolute
discretion, deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Company), no later than 12:00 Noon (
New
York City time) at least one Business Day prior to the proposed Funding Date, a notice (which shall
be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing given by Company) requesting Revolving Lenders to make
Revolving Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans on such Funding Date in an amount equal to the
amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such
notice is given which Swing Line Lender requests Revolving Lenders to prepay. Anything contained
in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by
Revolving Lenders other than Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by Administrative
Agent to Swing Line Lender (and not to Company) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the
Refunded Swing Line Loans and (ii) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, Swing Line Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a
Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so
paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing
Line Note of Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line Lender’s outstanding
Revolving Loans and shall be due under the Revolving Note of Swing Line Lender. Company hereby
authorizes Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to charge Company’s accounts with
Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in
order to immediately pay Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the
extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders, including the Revolving Loan
deemed to be made by Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line
Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should
be recovered by or on behalf of Company from Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the
benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared
among all Revolving Lenders in the manner contemplated by subsection 10.5.
If for any reason (a) Revolving Loans are not made upon the request of Swing Line Lender as
provided in the immediately preceding paragraph in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed
to Swing Line Lender in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans or (b) the Revolving Loan
Commitments are terminated at a time when any Swing Line Loans are
26
outstanding, each Revolving
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding
Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share
(calculated, in the case of the foregoing clause (b), immediately prior to such termination of
the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the unpaid amount of such Swing Line Loans together with accrued
interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s notice from Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender
shall deliver to Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in same day
funds at the Funding and Payment Office. In order to further evidence such participation (and
without prejudice to the effectiveness of the participation provisions set forth above), each
Revolving Lender agrees to enter into a separate participation agreement at the request of Swing
Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Swing Line Lender. In the event any
Revolving Lender fails to make available to Swing Line Lender the amount of such Revolving Lender’s
participation as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such
amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the rate customarily
used by Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and
thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate. In the event Swing Line Lender receives a payment of any
amount in which other Revolving Lenders have purchased participations as provided in this
paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall promptly distribute to each such other Revolving Lender its Pro
Rata Share of such payment.
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Revolving Lender’s obligation
to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the
second preceding paragraph and each Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in
any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (a) any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against Swing
Line Lender, Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or
continuation of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default; (c) any adverse change in the
business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of
Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (d) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by
any party thereto; or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Revolving Lender are
subject to the condition that (X) Swing Line Lender believed in good faith that all conditions
under Section 4 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing
Line Loans, as the case may be, were satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid
Swing Line Loans were made or (Y) the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been
waived in accordance with subsection 10.6 prior to or at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or
other unpaid Swing Line Loans were made.

made pursuant to a request by Swing Line Lender pursuant to subsection 2.1A(ii) for the purpose of

purpose of reimbursing any Issuing Lender for the amount of a drawing under a Letter of Credit

provided, however, on such Funding Date Company may request such Loans be converted to Eurodollar
Rate Loans in the manner provided in subsection 2.2D; and (v) in the case of any Loans requested to
be made as Eurodollar Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period requested therefor. Revolving Loans
may be continued as or converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans in the
manner provided in subsection 2.2D. In lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Borrowing,
Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed
borrowing under this subsection 2.1B; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in
writing by delivery of a Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent on or before the applicable

upon any telephonic notice referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to
have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of
Company or for otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.1B, and upon funding of Loans
by Lenders in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice Company shall
have effected Loans hereunder.
Company shall notify Administrative Agent prior to the funding of any Loans in the event that
any of the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing is

accordance therewith.
28
C. Disbursement of Funds. All Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be made by Lenders
simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no
Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation
to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender to make the particular
type of Loan requested be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in
that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder. Promptly after receipt by
Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.1B (or telephonic notice in
lieu thereof), Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender or Swing Line Lender, as the case may
be, of the proposed borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (
New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date,
and Swing Line Lender shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Administrative

same day funds in Dollars, at the Funding and Payment Office. Except as provided in subsection
2.1A(ii) or subsection 3.3B with respect to Revolving Loans used to repay Refunded Swing Line Loans
or to reimburse any Issuing Lender for the amount of a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by
it, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in subsections 4.1 (in the
case of Loans made on the Closing Date) and 4.2 (in the case of all Loans), Administrative Agent

causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by
Administrative Agent from Lenders or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, to be credited to the
account of Company.
Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Funding Date
for any Loans that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount
of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Funding Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Funding Date and
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to
Company a corresponding amount on such Funding Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact
made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for
each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the
customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three
Business Days and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such
corresponding amount within three Business Days after such amount should have been made available,
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company and Company shall immediately pay such
corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such
Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable under
this Agreement for Alternate Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this subsection 2.1C shall be deemed to
relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any
rights that Company may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender
hereunder.

Company, shall maintain, at its address referred to in subsection 10.8, a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments and Loans of each
Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection
by Company or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.
(ii) Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Revolving Loan Commitment
and the Revolving Loans from time to time of each Revolving Lender, the Swing Line Loan
Commitment and the Swing Line Loans from time to time of Swing Line Lender, and each
repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Revolving Loans of each
Revolving Lender or the Swing Line Loans of Swing Line Lender. Any such recordation shall
be conclusive and binding on Company and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that
failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect
any Lender’s Commitments or Company’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans.
(iii) Each Lender shall record on its internal records (including any Notes held by
such Lender) each Revolving Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof. Any such
recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company, absent manifest error; provided
that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not
affect any Lender’s Commitments or Company’s Obligations in respect of any applicable
Loans; and provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register
and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.
(iv) Company, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed
as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and
Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such
Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case unless and until an Assignment
Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by
Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in subsection 10.1B(ii).
Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or
Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any
request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or
giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive
and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding
Commitments or Loans.
(v) Company hereby designates Credit Suisse to serve as Company’s agent solely for
purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this subsection 2.1D, and Company
hereby agrees that, to the extent Credit Suisse serves in such capacity, Credit Suisse and
its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute Indemnitees for
all purposes under subsection 10.3.
30
E. Notes. At the request of any Lender, Company shall execute and deliver to that Lender (or
to Administrative Agent for that Lender) each of the following, as appropriate: (i) a Revolving
Note substantially in the form of Exhibit IV annexed hereto to evidence that Lender’s Revolving
Loans, in the principal amount of that Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and with other
appropriate insertions, and (ii) a Swing Line Note substantially in the form of Exhibit V annexed
hereto to evidence that Lender’s Swing Line Loans, in the principal amount of the Swing Line Loan
Commitment and with other appropriate insertions. In the event a Lender requests such Notes at
least 3 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Company shall execute and deliver the Notes on
such date.
2.2 Interest on the Loans
A. Rate of Interest. Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.6 and 2.7, each Revolving
Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity
(whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate
or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7, each Swing Line Loan
shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity
(whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base
Rate. The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Revolving Loan
shall be selected by Company initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given with respect to
such Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1B, and the basis for determining the interest rate with
respect to any Revolving Loan may be changed from time to time pursuant to subsection 2.2D. If on
any day a Revolving Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to
Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis
for determining the rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by
reference to the Alternate Base Rate. Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.2E and 2.7, the
Revolving Loans shall bear interest through maturity as follows:
(i) if an Alternate Base Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Alternate Base Rate and the
applicable Alternate Base Rate Margin set forth in the table below opposite the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the four-Fiscal Quarter period ending on the date for which
the applicable Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(iii):

shall be 1.75% per annum for Revolving Loans.
Upon delivery of the Compliance Certificate by Company to Administrative Agent pursuant to
subsection 6.1(iii), the applicable Base Rate Margin and Eurodollar Rate Margin shall automatically
be adjusted in accordance with such Compliance Certificate, such adjustment to become effective on
the next succeeding Business Day following receipt by Administrative Agent of such Compliance
Certificate; provided, that if at any time a Compliance Certificate is not delivered at the time
required pursuant to subsection 6.1(iii), from the time such Compliance Certificate was required to
be delivered until delivery of such Compliance Certificate, such applicable Base Rate Margin and
Eurodollar Rate Margin shall be the maximum percentage amount until such Compliance Certificate is
delivered.
Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.2E and 2.7, any Swing Line Loans provided to
Company shall bear interest through maturity at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans
pursuant to subsection 2.2A(i).
B. Interest Periods. In connection with each Eurodollar Rate Loan, Company may, pursuant to
the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, select
an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period
shall be, at Company’s option, a one, two, three or six month period or, if deposits in the
interbank Eurodollar market are available to all Lenders for such period (as determined by each
Lender), a nine or twelve month period; provided that:
(i) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the
Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a Loan initially made as a Eurodollar
Rate Loan, or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in
the case of a Loan converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan;
32
(ii) in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a Eurodollar
Rate Loan continued as such pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, each
successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest
Period expires;
(iii) if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business
Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that,
if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a
day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest
Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;
(iv) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or
on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the
end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clause (v) of this subsection 2.2B, end on
the last Business Day of a calendar month;
(v) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans shall
extend beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date;
(vi) there shall be no more than eight Interest Periods outstanding at any time; and
(vii) in the event Company fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate
Loan in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company
shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.
C. Interest Payments. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2E, interest on each Loan
shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, upon any
prepayment of that Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity
(including final maturity); provided that in the event any Swing Line Loans or any Revolving Loans
that are Alternate Base Rate Loans are prepaid pursuant to subsection 2.4A(i), interest accrued on
such Swing Line Loans or Revolving Loans through the date of such prepayment shall be payable on
the next succeeding Interest Payment Date applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans (or, if earlier,
at final maturity).
D. Conversion or Continuation. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6, Company shall
have the option (i) to convert at any time all or any part of its outstanding Revolving Loans equal
to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from Loans bearing
interest at a rate determined by reference to one basis to Loans
33
bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to an alternative basis or (ii) upon the
expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any
portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that
amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan; provided, however, that a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be
converted into a Alternate Base Rate Loan on the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable
thereto.
Company shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent no later
than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed
conversion date (in the case of a conversion to an Alternate Base Rate Loan) and at least three
Eurodollar Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a
conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). A Notice of Conversion/Continuation
shall specify (i) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii)
the amount and type of the Loan to be converted/continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed
conversion/continuation, (iv) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar
Rate Loan, the requested Interest Period, and (v) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation
of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, that no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing. In lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Conversion/Continuation,
Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed
conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D; provided that such notice shall be promptly
confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent on
or before the proposed conversion/continuation date. Upon receipt of written or telephonic notice
of any proposed conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D, Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender.
Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Company in acting
upon any telephonic notice referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to
have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to act on behalf of Company
or for otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.2D, and upon conversion or
continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans in
accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice Company shall have effected a
conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.
Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6G, a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or
telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable and Company shall be bound to effect a
conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.
E. Default Rate. In the event that the outstanding principal amount of any Loan, any interest
or any fees or other amounts due and payable hereunder are not paid when due, such overdue amounts
shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable upon demand at a rate that is 2% per
annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this
34
Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other
amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum, in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under
this Agreement for Alternate Base Rate Loans); provided that, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans,
upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate
is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Alternate Base Rate Loans and shall
thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the
interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Alternate Base Rate Loans. Payment or
acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this subsection 2.2E is not a
permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default
or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.
F. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Loans shall be computed on the basis of (i) in
the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans a 360-day year or (ii) in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans,
a 365 or 366-day year, unless the interest rate on such Alternate Base Rate Loans is based on the
Federal Funds Rate or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, in which case the calculation will be on the
basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during
which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the
first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to an Alternate Base Rate
Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate
Loan to such Alternate Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of
payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with
respect to an Alternate Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of
conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be
excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest
shall be paid on that Loan.
2.3 Fees
A. Facility Fees. Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for distribution to each
Revolving Lender in proportion to that Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share, facility fees for the
period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment
Termination Date equal to the daily amount (whether used or unused) of the Revolving Loan
Commitments multiplied by the percentage per annum determined by reference to the applicable
percentage as set forth in the table below opposite the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the
four-Fiscal Quarter period ending on the date for which the applicable Compliance Certificate has
been delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(iii), such facility fees to be calculated on the basis of
a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the
last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on September 30,
2010, and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date:

provided, that until the date on which the Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to

shall equal 0.25% per annum. Upon delivery of the Compliance Certificate by Company to
Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 6.1(iii), the applicable facility fee percentage shall
automatically be adjusted in accordance with such Compliance Certificate, such adjustment to become
effective on the next succeeding Business Day following receipt by Administrative Agent of such
Compliance Certificate; provided, that if at any time a Compliance Certificate is not delivered at
the time required pursuant to subsection 6.1(iii), from the time such Compliance Certificate was
required to be delivered until delivery of such Compliance Certificate, such applicable facility
fee percentage shall be the maximum percentage amount until such Compliance Certificate is
delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Revolving Loan Exposure remains outstanding
following any expiration or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, the facility fees shall
continue to accrue on such Revolving Loan Exposure for so long as such Revolving Loan Exposure
remains outstanding and shall be payable on demand. In addition, the facility fees otherwise
payable to any Defaulting Lender in respect of the unfunded portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
Revolving Loan Commitment (i.e. the portion thereof not utilized by the making of Revolving Loans
or the actual purchase of participations in Swing Line Loans and Letter of Credit drawings) shall
not be payable for so long as, and with respect to the period during which, such Lender is a
Defaulting Lender.
B. Other Fees. Company agrees to pay to an Agent such other fees in the amounts and at the
times separately agreed upon between Company and such Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers.
2.4 Repayments, Prepayments and Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments; General Provisions
Regarding Payments
A. Prepayments and Unscheduled Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments.
(i) Voluntary Prepayments. Company may, upon written or telephonic notice to
Administrative Agent on or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of
prepayment, which notice, if telephonic, shall be promptly confirmed in writing, at any
time and from time to time prepay any Swing Line Loan on any Business Day in whole or in
part in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in
excess of that amount. Company may, upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written or
telephonic notice, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, and three Business Days’ prior
written or telephonic notice, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case given to
Administrative Agent by 12:00 Noon (New
36
York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in
writing to Administrative Agent (which written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent
will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender), at any time and from
time to time prepay any Revolving Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an
aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that
amount; provided, however, that Company shall pay any amounts payable pursuant to
subsection 2.6D in connection with any such prepayment other than at the expiration of an
Interest Period. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount
of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date
specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in
subsection 2.4A(iii).
(ii) Voluntary Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitments. Company may, upon not less
than one Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to
Administrative Agent (which written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly
transmit by telefacsimile or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to each Lender), at any
time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without
premium or penalty, the Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which
the Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments
at the time of such proposed termination or reduction after giving effect to any
prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof;
provided that any such partial reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in an
aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that
amount. Company’s notice to Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be
a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction,
and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be effective on
the date specified in Company’s notice and shall reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of
each Revolving Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share.
(iii) Application of Prepayments and Unscheduled Reductions of Revolving Loan
Commitments.
(a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Class of Loans. Any voluntary prepayments
pursuant to subsection 2.4A(i) shall be applied as specified by Company in the applicable
notice of prepayment. In the event Company fails to specify the Loans to which prepayment
shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied first, to outstanding Swing Line Loans
to the full extent thereof, and second to outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent
thereof.
(b) Application of Prepayments by Type of Loans. Any prepayment of Revolving Loans
shall be applied first to Alternate Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before
application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner
37
which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Company pursuant to
subsection 2.6D.
B. General Provisions Regarding Payments.
(i) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments by Company of principal, interest, fees
and other Obligations hereunder and under the Notes shall be made in Dollars in same day
funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and
delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the
date due at the Funding and Payment Office for the account of Lenders; funds received by
Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by
Company on the next succeeding Business Day.
(ii) Application of Payments to Principal and Interest. Except as provided in
subsection 2.2C, all payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall include
payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such
payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is
due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest
before application to principal.
(iii) Apportionment of Payments. Aggregate principal and interest payments in respect
of Revolving Loans shall be apportioned proportionately to Lenders’ respective Pro Rata
Shares. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at its primary
address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other
address as such Lender may request, its Pro Rata Share of all such payments received by
Administrative Agent and the facility fees of such Lender when received by Administrative
Agent pursuant to subsection 2.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
subsection 2.4B(iii), if, pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2.6C, any Notice of
Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender
makes Alternate Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans,
Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received
thereafter.
(iv) Payments on Business Days. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such
extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder
or of the facility fees hereunder, as the case may be.
(v) Notation of Payment. Each Lender agrees that before disposing of any Note held by
it, or any part thereof (other than by granting participations therein), that Lender will
make a notation thereon of all Loans evidenced by that Note
38
and all principal payments previously made thereon and of the date to which interest
thereon has been paid; provided that the failure to make (or any error in the making of) a
notation of any Loan made under such Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the
obligations of Company hereunder or under such Note with respect to any Loan or any
payments of principal or interest on such Note.
C. Payments Under Subsidiary Guaranty. All payments received by Administrative Agent under
the Subsidiary Guaranty shall be applied promptly from time to time by Administrative Agent in the
following order of priority:
(i) to the payment of the costs and expenses of any collection or other realization
under the Subsidiary Guaranty, including reasonable compensation to Administrative Agent
and its agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by
Administrative Agent in connection therewith, all in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Subsidiary Guaranty;
(ii) thereafter, to the extent of any excess such payments, to the payment of all
other Guarantied Obligations (as defined in the Subsidiary Guaranty) for the ratable
benefit of the holders thereof;
(iii) thereafter, to the extent of any excess such payments, to the payment of cash
collateral for Letters of Credit for the ratable benefit of the Issuing Lenders thereof and
holders of participations therein; and
(iv) thereafter, to the extent of any excess such payments, to the payment to the
applicable Subsidiary Guarantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the
same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
2.5 Use of Proceeds
A. Revolving Loans; Swing Line Loans. Revolving Loans and any Swing Line Loans shall be used
for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, which may include the making of
intercompany loans to any of Company’s Wholly Owned Subsidiaries and for making acquisitions.
B. Margin Regulations. No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing under this Agreement shall
be used by Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any manner that might cause the borrowing or the
application of such proceeds to violate Regulation U, Regulation T or Regulation X of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board or to violate the
Exchange Act, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of such borrowing and such use of
proceeds.
39
2.6 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following
provisions shall govern with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as to the matters covered:
A. Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable after 11:00 A.M. (London
time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the
interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then
being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in
writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender.
B. Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent
shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans,
that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market adequate and fair means
do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for
in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice
(by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender of such
determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until
such time as Administrative Agent notifies Company and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise
to such notice no longer exist and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect to the Loans in respect of which such
determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Company.
C. Illegality of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have
determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto
but shall be made only after consultation with Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining
or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such
Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order which
came into effect after the Closing Date (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule,
regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply
therewith would not be unlawful), then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected
Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in
writing) to Company and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative
Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (a) the obligation of the Affected
Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until
such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (b) to the extent such determination by the
Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a
Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Affected Lender shall make such
Loan as (or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) an Alternate Base Rate Loan, (c) the Affected
Lender’s
40
obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be
terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with
respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (d) the Affected Loans shall
automatically convert into Alternate Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described
above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall have the option, subject to the
provisions of subsection 2.6D, to rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected
Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this subsection 2.6C shall affect the obligation of any
Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to,
Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
D. Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Company shall
compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender (which request shall set forth in
reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and
liabilities (including any interest paid by that Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make
or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by that Lender in
connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds, but excluding loss of profit) which
that Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by that Lender) a borrowing
of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or
a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan
does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic
request for conversion or continuation, (ii) if any prepayment (including any prepayment pursuant
to subsection 2.4A(i) or by virtue of the replacement of any Lender pursuant to subsection 2.8B or
10.6B) or other principal payment or any conversion of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a
date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan, (iii) if any prepayment
of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment
given by Company, or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by Company in the repayment of its
Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement.
E. Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate
Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of that
Lender; provided, that such making, carrying or transferring Eurodollar Rate Loans does not result
in any costs or taxes to Company pursuant to subsection 2.7.
F. Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts
payable to a Lender under this subsection 2.6 and under subsection 2.7A shall be made as though
that Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of
a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the
41
definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan
and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such
Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in
the United States of America; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar
Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the
purposes of calculating amounts payable under this subsection 2.6 and under subsection 2.7A.
G. Eurodollar Rate Loans After Default. After the occurrence of and during the continuation
of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default if notified by Administrative Agent or the
Requisite Lenders, (i) Company may not elect to have a Loan be made or maintained as, or converted
to, a Eurodollar Rate Loan after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for that Loan
and (ii) subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, any Notice of Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans
or Notice of Conversion/Continuation which would result in Eurodollar Loans being outstanding given
by Company with respect to a requested borrowing or conversion/continuation that has not yet
occurred shall be deemed to be rescinded by Company.
2.7 Increased Costs; Taxes; Capital Adequacy
A. Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7B
(which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any
Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive
and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or
order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof
(including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or
any determination of a Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date
hereof (and, for purposes of this Agreement, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act and all requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith are deemed to
have gone into effect and adopted after the date hereof), or compliance by such Lender with any
guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any Governmental Authority
(whether or not having the force of law):
(i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax
(other than any Tax on the Overall Net Income of such Lender) with respect to this
Agreement or any of its obligations hereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its
applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable
hereunder;
(ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal,
emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC
insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities
in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other
42
credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender
(other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans
that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or
(iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or
affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or
the interbank Eurodollar market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce
any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with
respect thereto; then, in any such case, Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon
receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or
amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating,
interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be
necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts
received or receivable hereunder; provided that Company shall not be required to compensate
a Lender pursuant to this subsection for any increased cost or reduction incurred more than
180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Company of such change giving rise to
such increased cost or reduction and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided, further, that, if such change giving rise to such increased cost or
reduction is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Such Lender shall deliver to Company
(with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this
subsection 2.7A, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto
absent manifest error.
B. Withholding of Taxes.
(i) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by Company under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and
clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax
on the Overall Net Income of any Lender or a Tax measured by or imposed as a result of the
extent and nature of a Lender’s activities, assets, liabilities, leverage, other exposures
to risk or other similar factors) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or
within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States
of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of
Company or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America or any
such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment.
(ii) Grossing-Up of Payments. If Company or any other Person is required by law to
make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable
by Company to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents:
43
(a) Company shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in
any such requirement as soon as Company becomes aware of it;
(b) Company shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto,
such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on Company) for its own account
or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may
be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender;
(c) the sum payable by Company in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding
or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the
making of that deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as
the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received
had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and
(d) within 30 days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any
deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after the due date of payment of any Tax which
it is required by clause (b) above to pay, Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent
evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or
payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority;
provided that no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender under clause (c)
above except to the extent that any change in any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or
order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof
(including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or
any determination of a Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date
hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) or after the date of the
Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other
Lender) affecting any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is mentioned
therein shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction, withholding or payment from that
in effect at the date of this Agreement or at the date of such Assignment Agreement, as the case
may be, in respect of payments to such Lender. With respect to FATCA, any regulations or official
interpretations issued after the date hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature
pages hereof) or after the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a
Lender (in the case of each other Lender) shall be considered as law in effect on such date, as the
case may be.
(iii) Evidence of Exemption From Withholding Tax.
44
(a) Each Lender that is not a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Internal Revenue Code (for purposes of this subsection 2.7B(iii), a “Non-US Lender”)
shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Company, on or prior to the
Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) or on or
prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the
case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the
determination of Company or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its
discretion), (1) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI
or Form W-8IMY, as the case may be (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly
executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption
required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder to establish
that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income
tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other
amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents or (2) if such Lender is not a “bank” or
other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, a Certificate re
Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
or W-8IMY (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender,
together with any other certificates or statements of exemption requested by Company
required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder to establish
that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income
tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Loan
Documents. Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to Administrative Agent for
transmission to Company, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed
on the signature pages hereof) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement
pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other
times as it may be necessary in the determination of Company or Administrative Agent (each
in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), two copies of executed originals of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by
applicable laws or reasonably requested by Company or Administrative Agent as will enable
Company or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
(b) Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with
respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to subsection
2.7B(iii)(a) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of
such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in
circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in
any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly (1) deliver to Administrative Agent
for transmission to Company two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8IMY, as the case may be, or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two
original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8IMY, as the case may be,
properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificates
or statements of exemption requested by
45
Company required in order to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to
deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to
such Lender under the Loan Documents or (2) notify Administrative Agent and Company of its
inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.
(c) Company shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Lender under
clause (c) of subsection 2.7B(ii) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the
requirements of clause (a), (b)(1) or (d) of this subsection 2.7B(iii); provided that if
such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of subsection 2.7B(iii)(a) on the Closing
Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) or on the date of
the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender (in the case of each other
Lender), nothing in this subsection 2.7B(iii)(c) shall relieve Company of its obligation to
pay any additional amounts pursuant to clause (c) of subsection 2.7B(ii) in the event that,
as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or
order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such
Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a
subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as
described in subsection 2.7B(iii)(a).
(d) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S.
Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the
applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the
Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times
reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable
law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and
such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be
necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to
determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to
determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this
subsection 2.7B(iii)(d), FATCA shall include any regulations or official interpretations
thereof.
C. Capital Adequacy Adjustment. If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption,
effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the date hereof of any law, rule or regulation (or
any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation
or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any
guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such Governmental Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with
reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Commitments or Letters of Credit or participations therein or
other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below
that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have
46
achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance
(taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard
to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Company
from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Company shall pay to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling
corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction; provided that Company shall not be required
to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection for any reduction incurred more than 180 days
prior to the date that such Lender notifies Company of such change giving rise to such reduction
and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if such
change giving rise to such reduction is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Such Lender shall deliver
to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which statement shall be conclusive
and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
D. Refund and Contest. If Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund with respect
to Tax deducted, withheld or paid by Company and with respect to which Company has been required to
and has paid an additional amount under this subsection 2.7, which in the good faith judgment of
such Lender is allocable to such deduction, withholding or payment, it shall promptly pay such
refund, together with any other amount paid by Company in connection with such refunded Tax and any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund, to Company, net
of all unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund,
provided, however, that Company agrees to promptly return such refund to Administrative Agent or
the applicable Lender, as the case may be, if it receives notice from Administrative Agent or
applicable Lender that such Administrative Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund. Each
of Administrative Agent and such Lender agrees that it will contest such Tax or liabilities paid by
Company if Agent or such Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it would not be materially
disadvantaged or prejudiced as a result of such contest.
2.8 Obligation of Lenders and Issuing Lenders to Mitigate; Replacement
A. Mitigation. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after
the officer of such Lender or Issuing Lender responsible for administering the Loans or Letters of
Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an
event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or
that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under subsection 2.7 or
subsection 3.6, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender
or Issuing Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts (i)
to make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitments of such Lender or the affected Loans or Letters of
Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender through another lending or letter of credit office of such
Lender or Issuing Lender, or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender or Issuing Lender may
deem reasonable, which may include assignment of its rights and obligations hereunder to another of
its offices, branches or affiliates,
47
if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected
Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid
to such Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7 or subsection 3.6 would be materially
reduced and if, as determined by such Lender or Issuing Lender in its sole discretion, the making,
issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitments or Loans or Letters of Credit through such
other lending or letter of credit office or in accordance with such other measures, including
assignment, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Commitments or
Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender or Issuing Lender; provided that such
Lender or
Issuing Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending or letter of credit office
pursuant to this subsection 2.8 unless Company agrees to pay all reasonable incremental expenses
incurred by such Lender or Issuing Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending or letter of
credit office as described in clause (i) above. A certificate as to the amount of any such
expenses payable by Company pursuant to this subsection 2.8 (setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender or Issuing Lender to Company (with a
copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
B. Replacement. In the event of (a) a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change,
waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by
Requisite Lenders (but requires consent of all Lenders) as provided in subsection 10.6, (b) any
Lender becomes an Affected Lender or requests compensation under subsection 2.7A, 2.7C or 3.6, (c)
Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7B, or (d) any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then Company may, at its sole expense and effort, replace such Lender (a “Replaced Lender”)
with one or more Eligible Assignees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) reasonably acceptable
to Administrative Agent, provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this
subsection 2.8 the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements pursuant
to subsection 10.1B (and with all fees payable pursuant to such subsection 10.1B to be paid by the
Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the outstanding
Loans and Commitments of, and in each case participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans
by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in
respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all
accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, (B) an amount equal to all
unpaid drawings with respect to Letters of Credit that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to)
such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and
(C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Replaced Lender with
respect thereto, (y) the appropriate Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of any unpaid drawings with respect to Letters of Credit (which at such time remains an
unpaid drawing) issued by it to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced
Lender, and (z) Swing Line Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any
Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced
Lender, and (ii) all obligations (including without limitation all such amounts, if any, owing
under subsection 2.6D) of Company owing to
48
the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of
which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid), shall be paid in
full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the
respective Assignment Agreements and the acceptance thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to
subsection 10.1B, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so
requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or
Notes executed by Company, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced
Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder except with respect to indemnification
provisions under this Agreement which by the terms of this Agreement survive the termination of
this Agreement, which indemnification provisions shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, no Issuing Lender may be replaced
hereunder at any time while it has Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements
satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (including the furnishing of a standby Letter of Credit in form
and substance, and issued by an issuer satisfactory to such Issuing Lender or the furnishing of
cash collateral in amounts and pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Lender) have
been made with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit. A Lender shall not be required to
make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender
or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Company to require such assignment and delegation cease
to apply.
2.9 Increase in Revolving Loan Commitments
A. Company may, by written notice to Administrative Agent from time to time, request
Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250,000,000 from one
or more Incremental Revolving Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide
such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments in their own discretion; provided that each Incremental
Revolving Lender (other than any existing Lender or Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund)
shall be subject to the approval of Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments
being requested and (ii) the date on which such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments are
requested to become effective.
B. Company and each Incremental Revolving Lender shall execute and deliver to Administrative
Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as Administrative Agent
shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment of such Incremental
Revolving Lender. Each Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment shall be on the same terms as the
Revolving Loan Commitments.
C. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental
Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent)
necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments
evidenced thereby as provided for in subsection 10.6. Any such deemed amendment may be
memorialized in writing by Administrative Agent with Company’s consent (not to be unreasonably
withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.
49
D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment shall become
effective under this subsection 2.9 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions
set forth in subsection 4.2B shall be satisfied and Administrative Agent shall have received a
certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a responsible officer of Company and
(ii) Administrative Agent shall have received customary legal opinions, board resolutions and other
customary closing certificates and documentation as required by the relevant Incremental Assumption
Agreement and, to the extent required by Administrative Agent, consistent with those delivered on
the Closing Date under subsection 4.1.
E. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that Administrative Agent may take any and all
action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any increase pursuant
to this subsection 2.9, the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) are held by the Lenders in
accordance with their new Pro Rata Shares. This may be accomplished at the discretion of
Administrative Agent, following consultation with Company, (i) by requiring the outstanding
Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of new Revolving Loans, (ii) by causing
non-increasing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans to new or increasing
Lenders or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment or assignment described in this
paragraph (E) shall be subject to subsection 2.6D, but shall otherwise be without premium or
penalty.
Section 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit and Lenders’ Purchase of Participations Therein
A. Letters of Credit. In addition to Company requesting that Revolving Lenders make Revolving
Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1A(i) and that Swing Line Lender make Swing Line Loans pursuant to
subsection 2.1A(ii), Company may request, in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1,
from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the date that is 30 days
prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, that one or more Revolving Lenders issue
Letters of Credit for the account of Company. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Company herein set forth, any
one or more Revolving Lenders may, but (except as provided in subsection 3.1B(ii)) shall not be
obligated to, issue such Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this subsection
3.1; provided that such Letters of Credit shall be issued on a sight basis only and Company shall
not request that any Revolving Lender issue (and no Revolving Lender shall issue):
(i) any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Total
Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then
in effect;
50
(ii) any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Letter of
Credit Usage would exceed $250,000,000;
(iii) any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or
(iv) any Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than the earlier of (a) the
date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and
(b) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit;
provided that the immediately preceding clause (b) shall not prevent any Issuing Lender from
agreeing that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods
not to exceed one year each unless such Issuing Lender elects not to extend for any such additional
period; and provided, further, that such Issuing Lender shall elect not to extend such Letter of
Credit if it has knowledge that an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing (and has not been waived in accordance with subsection 10.6) at the time such Issuing
Lender must elect whether or not to allow such extension.
B. Mechanics of Issuance.
(i) Notice of Issuance. Whenever Company desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit,
it shall deliver to the proposed Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent a Notice of
Request to Issue Letter of Credit in the form of Exhibit III annexed hereto no later than
12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days or in each case such shorter
period as may be agreed to by the proposed Issuing Lender in any particular instance, in
advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Notice of Request to Issue Letter of Credit
shall specify (a) the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (b) the
face amount of the Letter of Credit, (c) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, (d)
the name and address of the beneficiary, and (e) either the verbatim text of the proposed
Letter of Credit or the proposed terms and conditions thereof, including a precise
description of any documents to be presented by the beneficiary which, if presented by the
beneficiary prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, would require the Issuing
Lender to make payment under the Letter of Credit; provided that the Issuing Lender, in its
reasonable discretion, may require changes in the text of the proposed Letter of Credit or
any such documents.
Company shall notify the applicable Issuing Lender (and Administrative Agent, if
Administrative Agent is not such Issuing Lender) prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit in
the event that any of the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice
of Request to Issue Letter of Credit is no longer true and correct as of the proposed date of
issuance of such Letter of Credit, and upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit Company shall
51
be deemed to have re-certified, as of the date of such issuance, as to the matters to which
Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Request to Issue Letter of Credit.
The existing Letters of Credit identified on Schedule 3.1B(i) shall be deemed issued under and
pursuant to this subsection 3.1B(i) and shall be treated as Letters of Credit for all purposes
under this Agreement.
(ii) Determination of Issuing Lender. Upon receipt by a proposed Issuing Lender and
Administrative Agent of a Notice of Request to Issue Letter of Credit pursuant to
subsection 3.1B(i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, any Revolving Lender so
requested to issue such Letter of Credit shall promptly notify Company and Administrative
Agent whether or not, in its sole discretion, it has elected to issue such Letter of
Credit, and any such Revolving Lender which so elects to issue such Letter of Credit shall
be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto. In the event that the proposed Issuing Lender
selected by Company with respect to any Letter of Credit shall have declined to issue such
Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall be obligated to issue such Letter of Credit
and shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto; provided that Administrative Agent
shall only be obligated to issue standby Letters of Credit and notwithstanding the fact
that the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Letter of Credit and with respect to
all other Letters of Credit issued by Administrative Agent, when aggregated with
Administrative Agent’s outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, may exceed
Administrative Agent’s Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect, but not in excess of the
amount set forth in Section 3.1A(ii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Section 3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that a Revolving Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit
unless Administrative Agent has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and
Company to eliminate its risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by all
such Defaulting Lenders, including by requiring Company to cash collateralize each such
Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit issued by Administrative Agent.
(iii) Issuance of Letter of Credit. Upon satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with
subsection 10.6) of the conditions set forth in subsection 4.3, the Issuing Lender shall
issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s standard
operating procedures.
(iv) Notification to Revolving Lenders. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit the
applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and each other
Revolving Lender of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such
Letter of Credit. Promptly after receipt of such notice (or, if Administrative Agent is
the Issuing Lender, together with such notice), Administrative Agent shall notify each
Revolving Lender of the amount of such Revolving Lender’s respective participation in such
Letter of Credit, determined in accordance with subsection 3.1C.
52
(v) Reports to Revolving Lenders. Within 5 days after the end of each calendar
quarter ending after the Closing Date, so long as any Letter of Credit shall have been
outstanding during such calendar quarter, each Issuing Lender shall deliver to
Administrative Agent a report setting forth for such calendar quarter the daily aggregate
amount available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender that
were outstanding during such calendar quarter.
C. Revolving Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the
issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to,
have irrevocably purchased from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and any
drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder.
3.2 Letter of Credit Fees
Company agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued
hereunder:
(i) with respect to each Letter of Credit, (a) a fronting fee, payable directly to the
applicable Issuing Lender for its own account, in a percentage per annum to be agreed upon
with the applicable Issuing Lender of the daily amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit and (b) a letter of credit fee, payable to Administrative Agent for the
account of Revolving Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders), equal to the applicable
Eurodollar Rate Margin for Revolving Loans per annum of the daily amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit, each such fronting fee and letter of credit fee to be
payable in arrears on and to (but excluding) the last Business Day of March, June,
September and December of each year and computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual number of days elapsed;
(ii) with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and
each payment of a drawing made thereunder (without duplication of the fees payable under
clauses (i)(a) and (i)(b) above), documentary and processing charges payable directly to
the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s
standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment,
transfer or payment, as the case may be.
For purposes of calculating any fees payable under clause (i) of this subsection 3.2, the
daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be determined as of the close
of business on any date of determination. Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of any
amount described in clause (i)(b) of this subsection 3.2, Administrative Agent shall distribute to
each Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share of such amount.
53
3.3 Drawings and Reimbursement of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit
A. Responsibility of Issuing Lender With Respect to Drawings. In determining whether to honor
any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be
responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable
care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and
conditions of such Letter of Credit.
B. Reimbursement by Company of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event an Issuing
Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender
shall immediately notify Company and Administrative Agent, and Company shall reimburse such Issuing
Lender on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is
honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the
amount of such honored drawing; provided that, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, (i) unless Company shall have notified Administrative Agent and such Issuing
Lender prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Business Day following the date such drawing
is honored that Company intends to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of such honored
drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, Company shall be deemed to have
given a timely Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent requesting Revolving Lenders to make
Revolving Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in
Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of
the conditions specified in subsection 4.2B, Revolving Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date,
make Revolving Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the
proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing
Lender for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided, further that if for any reason
proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by such Issuing Lender on the Reimbursement Date in an
amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, Company shall reimburse such Issuing Lender, on
demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing
over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this
subsection 3.3B shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to make
Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Company shall retain
any and all rights it may have against any Revolving Lender resulting from the failure of such
Revolving Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this subsection 3.3B.
C. Payment by Revolving Lenders of Unreimbursed Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.
(i) Payment by Revolving Lenders. In the event that Company shall fail for any reason
to reimburse any Issuing Lender as provided in subsection 3.3B in an amount equal to the
amount of any drawing honored by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it,
such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent, who shall notify each other
Revolving Lender of the unreimbursed amount of
54
such honored drawing and of such other Revolving Lender’s respective participation
therein based on such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Each Revolving Lender shall make
available to such Issuing Lender an amount equal to its respective participation, in
Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of such Issuing Lender specified in such
notice, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the first business day (under the
laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of such Issuing Lender is located) after the
date notified by such Issuing Lender. In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make
available to such Issuing Lender on such business day the amount of such Revolving Lender’s
participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this subsection 3.3C, such Issuing
Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender
together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by such Issuing Lender for the
correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Alternate
Base Rate. Nothing in this subsection 3.3C shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any
Revolving Lender to recover from any Issuing Lender any amounts made available by such
Revolving Lender to such Issuing Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.3C in the event that
it is determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the
payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender in respect of which
payment was made by such Revolving Lender constituted gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender.
(ii) Distribution to Revolving Lenders of Reimbursements Received From Company. In
the event any Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant
to subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by such Issuing Lender
under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall distribute to
Administrative Agent, who shall distribute to each other Revolving Lender which has paid
all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such honored drawing
such other Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by such
Issuing Lender from Company in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are
received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at its primary address
set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address
as such Revolving Lender may request.
D. Interest on Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.
(i) Payment of Interest by Company. Company agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender,
with respect to drawings honored under any Letters of Credit issued by it, interest on the
amount paid by such Issuing Lender in respect of each such honored drawing from the date
such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by Company
(including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to
subsection 3.3B) at a rate equal to (a) for the period from the date such drawing is
honored to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, the rate then in effect under this
Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans and (b)
thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of
55
the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to Revolving
Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans. Interest payable pursuant to this subsection
3.3D(i) shall be computed on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year for the actual number of
days elapsed in the period during which it accrues and shall be payable on demand or, if no
demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is
reimbursed in full.
(ii) Distribution of Interest Payments by Issuing Lender. Promptly upon receipt by
any Issuing Lender of any payment of interest pursuant to subsection 3.3D(i) with respect
to a drawing honored under a Letter of Credit issued by it, (a) such Issuing Lender shall
distribute to Administrative Agent, who shall distribute each other Revolving Lender, out
of the interest received by such Issuing Lender in respect of the period from the date such
drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which such Issuing Lender is reimbursed for
the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of
Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B), the amount that such other Revolving Lender
would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have
been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period pursuant to subsection 3.2
if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit, and (b) in the event such
Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection
3.3C(i) for all or any portion of such honored drawing, such Issuing Lender shall
distribute to Administrative Agent, who shall distribute to each other Revolving Lender
which has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such
honored drawing such other Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by
such Issuing Lender in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by
other Revolving Lenders for the period from the date on which such Issuing Lender was so
reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of
such honored drawing is reimbursed by Company. Any such distribution shall be made to a
Revolving Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate
signature page hereof or at such other address as such Revolving Lender may request.
3.4 Obligations Absolute
The obligation of Company to reimburse each Issuing Lender for drawings honored under the
Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders pursuant
to subsection 3.3B and the obligations of Revolving Lenders under subsection 3.3C(i) shall be
unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;
56
(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Company or any
Revolving Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter
of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Lender
or other Revolving Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Revolving Lender,
against Company, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Company
or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was
procured);
(iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(iv) payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit;
(v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(vi) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto;
(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing; or
(viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing;
provided, in each case, that payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under the applicable Letter
of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender
under the circumstances in question (as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction).
3.5 Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Lenders’ Duties
A. Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as provided in subsection 3.6, Company
hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Issuing Lender from and against any
and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and
57
expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs
of internal counsel) which such Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct
or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender, other than as a
result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender as determined by a
final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) subject to the following clause (ii),
the wrongful dishonor by such Issuing Lender of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter
of Credit issued by it or (ii) the failure of such Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under any such
Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present
or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions
herein called “Governmental Acts”). Each Revolving Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share,
severally agrees to indemnify the Issuing Lender to the extent not reimbursed by Company in
accordance with this Section 3.5A.
B. Nature of Issuing Lenders’ Duties. As between Company and any Issuing Lender, Company
assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by such
Issuing Lender by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not
in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for: (i) the form,
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party
in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should
in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;
(ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to
transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds
thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii)
failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions
required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or
delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise,
whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or
delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under
any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary
of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii)
any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender, including any
Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of
such Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.
In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth in the
first paragraph of this subsection 3.5B, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or
in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered
thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Lender under any
resulting liability to Company, except for liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender, as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
58
3.6 Increased Costs and Taxes Relating to Letters of Credit
Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7B (which shall be controlling with respect to the
matters covered thereby), in the event that any Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender shall determine
(which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change
therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction
of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a
Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof (and, for
purposes of this Agreement, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all
requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith are deemed to have gone into effect and
adopted after the date of hereof), or compliance by any Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender with any
guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any Governmental Authority
(whether or not having the force of law):
(i) subjects such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender (or its applicable lending or
letter of credit office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net
income of such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender) with respect to the issuing or
maintaining of any Letters of Credit or the purchasing or maintaining of any participations
therein or any other obligations under this Section 3, whether directly or by such being
imposed on or suffered by any particular Issuing Lender;
(ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal,
emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC
insurance or similar requirement in respect of any Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing
Lender or participations therein purchased by any Revolving Lender; or
(iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or
affecting such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender (or its applicable lending or letter of
credit office) regarding this Section 3 or any Letter of Credit or any participation
therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Issuing
Lender or Revolving Lender of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of
Credit or agreeing to purchase, purchasing or maintaining any participation therein or to
reduce any amount received or receivable by such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender (or its
applicable lending or letter of credit office) with respect thereto; then, in any case,
Company shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender, upon receipt of the
statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts as may be
necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender for any such increased cost
or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder; provided that Company shall not
be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection for any increased cost or
reduction incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Company
of such change giving rise to such increased cost or reduction and of such Lender’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if such change giving rise
to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of
59
retroactive effect thereof. Such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender shall deliver to
Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Issuing
Lender or Revolving Lender under this subsection 3.6, which statement shall be conclusive
and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

received by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted under

properties and assets are free and clear of Liens.
5.6 Litigation; Adverse Facts
Except as set forth on Schedule 5.6, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, arbitrations or
governmental investigations (whether or not purportedly on behalf of Company or any of its

Environmental Claims) that are pending or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened against or
affecting Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any property, license or registration of Company or
any of its Subsidiaries and that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) is in

relevant Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with
GAAP, and in either case, to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Company knows of no proposed material tax assessment
against Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is not being actively contested by Company or such
Subsidiary in good faith and by appropriate proceedings; provided that reserves or other
appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made
or provided therefor.
5.8 Performance of Agreements
Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual
Obligations, and no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both,
would constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default

liabilities (as defined in Section 4001(a)(18) of ERISA), individually or in the aggregate for all
Pension Plans (excluding for purposes of such computation any Pension Plans with respect to which
assets exceed benefit liabilities), which if amortized over ten years, would not reasonably be
expected, after considering the financial condition of all relevant ERISA Affiliates who could have
liability in respect of such liabilities, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
D. For each Multiemployer Plan as of the most recent valuation date for which an actuarial
report has been received, the potential liability of Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective
ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of
Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal
from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA,
would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

contemplated by this Agreement, taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact
or omits to state a material fact (known to Company in the case of any document not furnished by
it) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light
of the circumstances in which the same were made; provided, that no representation is made as to
projections or pro forma financial information except as set forth in the next sentence. Any
projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good
faith estimates and assumptions believed by Company to be reasonable at the time made, it being
recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and
that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from

Agent shall return any cash collateral received pursuant to the next preceding paragraph to

merely to bind Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of Requisite Lenders and are
not intended, directly or indirectly, to benefit Company, and such provisions shall not at any time
be construed so as to grant Company the right to require Lenders to rescind or annul any
acceleration hereunder or to preclude Agents or Lenders from exercising any of the rights or
remedies available to them under any of the Loan Documents, even if the conditions set forth in
this paragraph are met.
Section 9. AGENTS
9.1 Appointment
Credit Suisse is hereby appointed as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, and each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its agent in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent agrees to act
upon the express conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as
applicable. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent
and Lenders and Company shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions
thereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall
act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any
obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the financial institutions
listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as
Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder.
85
9.2 Powers and Duties; General Immunity
X. Xxxxxx; Duties Specified. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to take
such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to Administrative Agent by
the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Administrative Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that
are expressly specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may
exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or
employees. Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as
to impose upon Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.
B. No Responsibility for Certain Matters. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to
any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any representations, warranties,
recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any
financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents
furnished or made by Administrative Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of Company to
Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of Company or any other
Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall Administrative Agent be required to
ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions,
provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the
proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or as to the existence or possible
existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default. Anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any liability
arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Usage or the
component amounts thereof.
C. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by it
under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by Administrative
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain
from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection
with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power,
discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until Administrative Agent
shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders
as may be required to give such instructions under subsection 10.6) and, upon receipt of such
instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such
power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Administrative Agent shall
be deemed to have no knowledge of any Potential Event of Default unless and until written notice
thereof is given to Administrative Agent by
86
Company or any Lender. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i)
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be
protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Company and
its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no
Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of
Administrative Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such
other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under subsection 10.6).
D. Administrative Agent Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way
impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon,
Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its
participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, Administrative Agent shall have the same
rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”
or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Administrative
Agent in its individual capacity. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other
business with Company or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified
herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Company for services in connection with
this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.
9.3 Representations and Warranties; No Responsibility for Appraisal of Creditworthiness
Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs of Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making of
the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder and that it has made and shall continue
to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Company and its Subsidiaries. Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make
any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the
making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and Administrative Agent shall not have any
responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to
Lenders.
9.4 Right to Indemnity
Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify Administrative
Agent, to the extent that Administrative Agent shall not have been reimbursed by
87
Company, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against Administrative Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as Administrative Agent,
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that
no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such
Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to an
Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Administrative Agent, be
insufficient or become impaired, such Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and
cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is
furnished.
9.5 Successor Agent and Swing Line Lender
A. Successor Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior
written notice thereof to Lenders and Company. Upon any such notice of resignation, Requisite
Lenders shall have the right, with, so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the consent of Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the resigning Administrative
Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of
the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New
York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If no successor Administrative Agent has been
appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice
of resignation was given by such Administrative Agent, such Administrative Agent’s resignation
shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such
Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the
Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment
as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor
Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.
After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the
provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
B. Successor Swing Line Lender. Any resignation of Administrative Agent pursuant to
subsection 9.5A shall also constitute the resignation of Credit Suisse or its successor as Swing
Line Lender, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to subsection 9.5A shall,
upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Swing Line Lender for all purposes
hereunder. In such event (i) Company shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line
88
Loans made by the retiring Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, (ii)
upon such prepayment, the retiring Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender the
Swing Line Note held by it to Company for cancellation, and (iii) Company shall issue a new Swing
Line Note to the successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender substantially in the form of
Exhibit V annexed hereto, in the principal amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment then in effect
and with other appropriate insertions.
9.6 Guarantees
Each Lender hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit
of Lenders, to be the agent for and representative of Lenders under the Subsidiary Guaranty, and
each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of the Subsidiary Guaranty; provided that
Administrative Agent shall not enter into or consent to any amendment, modification, termination or
waiver of any provision contained in the Subsidiary Guaranty; provided further, however, that,
without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, Administrative Agent may execute any
documents or instruments necessary to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty
if all of the capital stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold to any Person pursuant to a sale
or other disposition permitted hereunder or to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented.
Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Company,
Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that no Lender shall have any right individually
to enforce the Subsidiary Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all rights and remedies
under the Subsidiary Guaranty may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent for the benefit of
Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Assignments and Participations in Loans and Letters of Credit
A. General. Subject to subsection 10.1B, each Lender shall have the right at any time to (i)
sell, assign or transfer to any Eligible Assignee, or (ii) sell participations to any Person (a
“Participant”) in, all or any part of its Commitments or any Loan or Loans made by it or its
Letters of Credit or in any case its rights or obligations with respect thereto or participations
therein or any other interest herein or in any other obligations owed to it; provided, further,
that no such sale, assignment or transfer described in clause (i) above shall be effective unless
and until an Assignment Agreement effecting such sale, assignment or transfer shall have been
accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in subsection 10.1B(ii);
provided, further that no such sale, assignment, transfer or participation of any Letter of Credit
or any participation therein may be made separately from a sale, assignment, transfer or
participation of a corresponding interest in the Revolving Loan Commitment and the Revolving Loans
of the Lender effecting such sale, assignment, transfer or participation; and provided, further
that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Swing Line Loan Commitment and
the Swing Line Loans of Swing Line Lender may not be sold, assigned or transferred as described in
clause (i) above to any Person other than a successor Administrative
89
Agent and Swing Line Lender to the extent contemplated by subsection 9.5. Except as otherwise
provided in this subsection 10.1, no Lender shall, as between Company and such Lender, be relieved
of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment or transfer of, or any
granting of participations in, all or any part of its Commitments or the Loans, the Letters of
Credit or participations therein, or the other Obligations owed to such Lender. Each Lender that
sells a participation to any Participant shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant
and the principal and interest amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under this Agreement (a “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Participant
whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all
purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender
shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to Company or
any other Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest under the Loan Documents) except to the extent that such disclosure is
necessary to establish that the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents are in
registered form under Section 5f-103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
B. Assignments.
(i) Amounts and Terms of Assignments. Each Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or
participation therein, or other Obligation may be assigned in an aggregate amount of not
less than $1,000,000 in the case of Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments (or (x)
in each case, such lesser amount as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the
Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit and participations therein, and other Obligations of
the assigning Lender or (y) in the event of simultaneous assignments by or to two or more
Approved Funds such assignments shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the
minimum assignment requirement as set forth above is met) to any other Eligible Assignee
with the consent of Company, Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and Swing Line
Lender (which consent of Company, Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and Swing Line
Lender shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that (i) the consent of
Company shall not be required for any assignment (x) to another Lender, or to an Affiliate
of the assigning Lender or another Lender or to an Approved Fund, (y) in connection with
the initial syndication of the Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments and (z) after
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing; provided, further, that an assignment to an
Affiliate (or an Approved Fund) of the assigning Lender that would result in increased
costs to Company shall also require the prior written consent of Company and such prior
written consent of Company may not be unreasonably withheld and which may be conditioned on
the Eligible Assignee agreeing not to require reimbursement from Company of such increased
costs. If Company has not responded within ten Business Days to any request for an
assignment, Company shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment. To the extent of
any such assignment in accordance with the above, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of
its obligations with respect to its Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations
therein, or other obligations or the portion
90
thereof so assigned. The parties to each such assignment shall (i) electronically
execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement via an electronic
settlement system acceptable to Administrative Agent (which initially shall be ClearPar,
LLC) or (ii) manually execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement,
in each case, together with a (x) processing and recordation fee of US$3,500 (which may be
reduced or waived in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent), (y) an Administrative
Questionnaire, substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII annexed hereto, if the Eligible
Assignee shall not already be a Lender hereunder and (z) such forms, certificates or other
evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as
the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative
Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iii)(a). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and
recordation, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment Agreement, (y)
the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall
have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (z) the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by
it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights
which survive the termination of this Agreement under subsection 10.9B) and be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement
covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided that, anything
contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if such Lender is
the Issuing Lender with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit such Lender shall
continue to have all rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender with respect to such
Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the
reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder). The Commitments hereunder shall be
modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any remaining Commitment of such
assigning Lender and, if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of the Notes
hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as
promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its Note to Administrative Agent for
cancellation, and thereupon a new Note shall be issued to the assignee and/or to the
assigning Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV annexed hereto, as the case may
be, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans,
as the case may be, of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.
(ii) Acceptance by Administrative Agent; Recordation in Register. Upon its receipt of
an Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that
it is an Eligible Assignee, together with (x) the processing and recordation fee referred
to in subsection 10.1B(i), (y) an Administrative Questionnaire, substantially in the form
of Exhibit VIII annexed hereto, completed in respect of the Eligible Assignee (unless the
Eligible Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and (z) any forms, certificates or
other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters that
such assignee may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection
2.7B(iii)(a), Administrative Agent shall, if Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender,
Swing Line Lender and Company have
91
consented to the assignment evidenced thereby (in each case to the extent such consent
is required pursuant to subsection 10.1B(i)), (a) accept such Assignment Agreement by
executing a counterpart thereof as provided therein (which acceptance shall evidence any
required consent of Administrative Agent to such assignment) and (b) promptly record the
information contained therein in the Register. The Register shall be available for
inspection by Company and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment
Agreement delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this subsection 10.1B(ii).
C. Participations. Each Participant, other than any Participant that is an Affiliate of the
Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to
take any action hereunder except action directly affecting (i) the extension of the scheduled final
maturity date of any Loan allocated to such participation or (ii) a reduction of the principal
amount of or the rate of interest payable on any Loan allocated to such participation, and all
amounts payable by Company hereunder (including amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to
subsections 2.6D, 2.7 and 3.6) shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participation. Company and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that, solely for purposes of
subsections 10.4 and 10.5, (a) any participation will give rise to a direct obligation of Company
to the Participant and (b) the Participant shall be considered to be a “Lender”.
D. Pledges of Obligations. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under
the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.1, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any
portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed to such Lender, and its Notes to secure
obligations of such Lender including without limitation any assignment or pledge to a Federal
Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that (i) no Lender shall, as between Company and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations
hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge and (ii) in no event shall such Federal
Reserve Bank be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take
or omit to take any action hereunder.
E. Assignments to Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. In addition to the assignments and
participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.1, any Lender (a
“Granting Lender”) may grant to special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in
writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to Administrative Agent and Company, the option to
provide to Company all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided, (i) nothing herein shall constitute
a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or
otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to
make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall
utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by
such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any
indemnity or similar payment obligation under this
92
Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of
the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of
this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of
all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute
against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State
thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection
10.1E(i), any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Company and
Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its
interests in any Loan to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by
Company and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account
of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential
basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper
dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit liquidity enhancement to such SPV. After the
date of a grant to any SPV, this section may not be amended without the written consent of such
SPV.
F. Information. Each Lender may furnish any information concerning Company and its
Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time to assignees and participants
(including prospective assignee and participants), subject to subsection 10.19.
G. Representations of Lenders. Each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof hereby
represents and warrants (i) that it is an Eligible Assignee described in clause (A) of the
definition thereof; (ii) that it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in
loans such as the Loans; and (iii) that it will make or invest in its Loans for its own account in
the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Loans within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being
understood that, subject to the provisions of this subsection 10.1, the disposition of such Loans
or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control). Each Lender that
becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to agree that the
representations and warranties of such Lender contained in Section 2(c) of such Assignment
Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.
10.2 Expenses
Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Company agrees to
pay promptly after the presentation of invoices (i) all the actual and reasonable costs and
expenses of Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation of the Loan Documents and any
consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto; (ii) all reasonable costs of
furnishing all opinions by counsel for Company (including any opinions requested by Lenders as to
any legal matters arising hereunder) and of Company’s performance of and compliance with all
agreements and conditions on its part to be performed or complied with under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents including with respect to confirming compliance with environmental, insurance
and solvency requirements; (iii) the reasonable fees,
93
expenses and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent in connection with the
negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of the Loan Documents and any consents,
amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by
Company; (iv) all other actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent
in connection with the syndication of the Commitments and any due diligence investigation performed
by Administrative Agent; provided that; without Company’s written consent (not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), Company shall not be responsible for reimbursement of such costs, fees and
expenses set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above (other than legal, consultants’ and other
professional fees and expenses) in an aggregate amount in excess of $50,000 and (v) after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of settlement, incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of
or in collecting any payments due from any Loan Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
by reason of such Event of Default (including in connection with the enforcement of the Subsidiary
Guaranty) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements
provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or
bankruptcy proceedings.
10.3 Indemnity
In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to subsection 10.2, whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Company agrees to defend (subject to
Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless Agents and Lenders, and the
officers, directors, employees, trustee, agents and affiliates of Agents and Lenders (collectively
called the “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter
defined); provided that Company shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with
respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise solely from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction.
As used herein, “Indemnified Liabilities” means, collectively, any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages (including natural resource damages), penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, claims (including Environmental Claims), costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees in
connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by
any Person, whether or not any such Indemnitee shall be designated as a party or a potential party
thereto, and any fees or expenses incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity), whether
direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws,
statutes, rules or regulations (including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or
regulations and Environmental Laws), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise,
that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner
relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby (including Lenders’ agreement to make the Loans hereunder or the use
or intended use of the proceeds thereof or the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder or the use
or intended use of any thereof, or any enforcement of any
94
of the Loan Documents (including the enforcement of the Subsidiary Guaranty) or (ii) the
statements contained in the commitment letter delivered by any Lender to Company with respect
thereto.
To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in
this subsection 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law
or public policy, Company shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and
satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.
10.4 Set-Off
In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of
limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default each Lender is hereby authorized by Company at any time or from time to time, without
notice to Company or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off
and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness
evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust
accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender to or for the credit
or the account of Company against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Company to
that Lender under this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and the other
Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with
this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or any other Loan Document,
provided that said obligations and liabilities shall then be due and payable (whether by
acceleration or otherwise).
10.5 Ratable Sharing
Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment
(other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement), by realization upon security, through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s
lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents
or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the
Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal,
interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts owing to that
Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Owing” to
such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the
Aggregate Amounts Owing to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately
greater payment shall (i) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such
payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be
deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by
such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Owing to the other Lenders so
that all such recoveries of Aggregate
95
Amounts Owing shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Owing to
them; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such
purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of
Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such
participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery,
but without interest. Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any
holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or
counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Company to that holder with respect
thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.
10.6 Amendments and Waivers
A. Except as provided in subsection 2.9, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or of the Notes, and no consent to any departure by Company
therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of Requisite Lenders;
provided that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall, without the written
consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (i) reduce the principal amount of
any of the Loans; (ii) postpone the scheduled final maturity date of any of the Loans or the date
on which any interest or any fees are payable; (iii) decrease the interest rate borne by any of the

payable to the Lenders hereunder; (iv) increase the maximum duration of Interest Periods permitted
hereunder; (v) extend the required expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving
Loan Commitment Termination Date; or (vi) change in any manner the obligations of Lenders relating

the amount hereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender, (ii) change in any manner the
definition of “Requisite Lenders” or the definition of “Pro Rata Share” without the written consent
of each Lender, (iii) change in any manner any provision of this Agreement which, by its terms,
expressly requires the approval or concurrence of all Lenders without the written consent of each
Lender, (iv) release all or substantially all the value of the Subsidiary Guaranty, in each case
other than in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each
Lender or (v) change in any manner the provisions contained in subsection 8.1 or this subsection

96
reduction of the amount or postponement of the due date of any amount payable in respect of
any Letter of Credit, 100% of the Revolving Lenders, (iv) no amendment, modification, termination
or waiver of any provision of Section 9 or of any other provision of this Agreement which, by its
terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of Administrative Agent shall be effective
without the written concurrence of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may, but shall have
no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or
consents on behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Company in
any case shall entitle Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance
with this subsection 10.6 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future
Lender and, if signed by Company, on Company.
B. Replacement of Lender. If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement that requires the consent of each Lender or
each Lender affected thereby, the consent of the Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of
one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Administrative
Agent shall have the right with the consent of Company, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose
individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to
either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders
pursuant to subsection 2.8 so long as at the time of such replacement each outstanding Loan of each
such Lender being replaced is repaid in full (including accrued and unpaid interest or any fees or
other amounts then due and payable) and so long as each such Replacement Lender consents to the
proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s
Commitments and/or repay in full each outstanding Loan of such Lender, provided that, unless the
Commitments that are terminated, and Loans repaid, pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately
replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the
Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically
consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B) the Requisite
Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto;
provided, further, that Company shall not have the right to terminate such non-consenting Lender’s
Commitments and repay in full its outstanding Loans pursuant to clause (B) if, immediately after
the termination of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Exposure of all
Lenders would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments of all Lenders; and provided, further, that in
any event Administrative Agent shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its
Commitments or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the
withholding of any required consent by such Lender) to refuse to increase its Commitment over the
amount then in effect pursuant to the second proviso contained in the first sentence of subsection
10.6A.
97
10.7 Independence of Covenants
All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or
condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an
exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default if such action is taken or
condition exists.
10.8 Notices
Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein
required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served or sent by
telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when
delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile, or three Business Days
after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided
that notices to Agents shall not be effective until received; provided further, that Administrative
Agent may make all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports,

relates to a borrowing request or a continuation/conversion notice, (ii) relates to the payment of
any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii)
provides notice of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the
effectiveness of this Agreement and/or the Borrowing (all such non-excluded communications being

purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be as set forth under such party’s name on
the signature pages hereof or (i) as to Company and Administrative Agent, such other address as
shall be designated by such Person in a written notice delivered to the other parties hereto and
(ii) as to each other party, such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written
notice delivered to Administrative Agent.

agreements of Company set forth in subsections 2.6D, 2.7, 3.5A, 3.6, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and the
agreements of Lenders set forth in subsections 9.2C, 9.4 and 10.5 shall to the extent set forth
therein survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit
and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination of this Agreement.
98
10.10 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative
No failure or delay on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any
power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right
or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise
thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or
remedies otherwise available.
10.11 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside
Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any
assets in favor of Company or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the
Obligations. To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or
Lenders (or to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders), or Administrative Agent or Lenders
enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or
the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or
any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related
thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had
not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
10.12 Severability
In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction,
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
10.13 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights
The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the
obligations or Commitments of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other
Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to
constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity.
The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt,
and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights
99
arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined
as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
10.14 Headings
Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given
any substantive effect.

Neither Company’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or
delegated by Company without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. Each party hereto
acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that

represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel and that it knowingly and
voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS
IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR
101
IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SUBSECTION
10.18 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT
AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. In the
event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.
10.19 Confidentiality
Each Lender shall hold all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of
this Agreement which has been identified as confidential by Company in accordance with such
Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in
accordance with safe and sound banking practices, if applicable, it being understood and agreed by
Company that in any event a Lender may make disclosures to the accountants, auditors, attorneys,
and Affiliates of such Lender or disclosures reasonably required by any bona fide assignee,
transferee or participant or to any actual or prospective contractual counterparty (or its advisor)
to any securitization, hedge or other derivative transaction in connection with the contemplated
assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein or disclosures
required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or pursuant to legal
process; provided that, in each of the foregoing cases, the Person to which disclosure is to be
made is informed of the confidential nature of such information and agrees to maintain its
confidentiality; provided, further, that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court
order, each Lender shall notify Company of any request by any governmental agency or representative

of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information; and provided, further,
that in no event shall any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by
Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
information as provided in this subsection shall be considered to have complied with its obligation
