(iv) no Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be made in an Optional
Currency. Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1. The
Borrowers, jointly and severally, subject to Section 11.14 (if applicable), shall repay in full the
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, together with all accrued interest
thereon and all fees and other amounts owing under any of the Loan Documents relating thereto on
the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments in connection with
the terms hereof.
2.1.1.2 Discretionary Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments.
(i) Increasing Lenders and New Lenders. The Borrowers may, at any time, but not more
than two (2) times, prior to the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Closing Date, request that (1) the
current Lenders increase their Revolving Credit Commitments (any current Lender which elects to
increase its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be referred to as an “Increasing Lender”) or (2) one
or more new lenders (each a “New Lender”) join this Agreement and provide a Revolving Credit
Commitment hereunder, subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) No Obligation to Increase. No current Lender shall be obligated to increase its
Revolving Credit Commitment and any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment by any current
Lender shall be in the sole discretion of such current Lender;
(b) Defaults. There shall exist no Event of Default or, unless consented to by the
Required Lenders, Potential Default on the effective date of such increase, either before or after
giving effect to such increase;
(c) Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. After giving effect to such increase, the
total Revolving Credit Commitments shall not exceed the lesser of
37
(i)
$475,000,000 or (ii) the sum of (A) the total Revolving Credit Commitments as in effect on the
date of such request prior to giving effect to any requested increase, plus (B) $75,000,000
minus the amount of any prior increase to the Revolving Credit Commitments under this
Section 2.1.1.2;
(d) Resolutions; Opinion. The Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
on or before the effective date of such increase the following documents in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent: (1) certifications of their corporate secretaries (or
foreign jurisdiction equivalent) with attached resolutions certifying that the increase in the
Revolving Credit Commitment has been approved by such Loan Parties, and (2) opinions of domestic
and foreign counsel (as applicable) addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
addressing the authorization and execution of the Loan Documents by, and enforceability of the Loan
Documents against, the Loan Parties;
(e) Notes. The Borrowers shall execute and deliver (1) to each Increasing Lender a
replacement revolving credit Note reflecting the new amount of such Increasing Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitment after giving effect to the increase (and the prior Note issued to such Increasing
Lender shall be deemed to be terminated) and (2) to each New Lender a revolving credit Note
reflecting the amount of such New Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.
(f) Approval of New Lenders. Any New Lender shall be subject to the approval of the
Administrative Agent and the Company and shall not be (1) a Borrower or any of the Borrowers’
Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (2) a natural person. The Revolving Credit Commitment of any New
Lender shall not be less than $10,000,000. The share of each New Lender located in or organized
under the laws of the Netherlands and the share of each New Lender hereunder in the Loans to a
Netherlands Borrower shall initially be at least the Dollar Equivalent of EUR 50,000 or such New
Lender shall otherwise qualify as a Professional Market Party, and each such New Lender shall
confirm the foregoing on the date on which it becomes a New Lender hereunder by execution and
delivery of its Lender Joinder and Assumption Agreement in which the New Lender confirms that it is
a Professional Market Party.
(g) Increasing Lenders. Each Increasing Lender shall confirm its agreement to
increase its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to an acknowledgement in a form acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, signed by it and the Borrowers and delivered to the Administrative Agent at
least five (5) days before the effective date of such increase.
(h) New Lenders—Joinder. Each New Lender shall execute a lender joinder in
substantially the form of Exhibit 2.1 pursuant to which such New Lender shall join and
become a party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with a Revolving Credit Commitment in
the amount set forth in such lender joinder.
(ii) Treatment of Outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit.
(a) Repayment of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans; Borrowing of New Revolving Credit
Loans. On the effective date of such increase, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the
Borrowers shall repay all Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, subject to the Loan Parties’
indemnity obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]; provided that they may borrow new
Revolving Credit Loans with a Borrowing Date on such
38
date. Each of the Lenders shall participate in any new Revolving Credit Loans made on or after
such date in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares after giving effect to the increase in
Revolving Credit Commitments contemplated by this Section 2.1.1.2.
(b) Outstanding Letters of Credit. On the effective date of such increase, each
Increasing Lender and each New Lender (i) will be deemed to have purchased a participation in each
then outstanding Letter of Credit equal to its Ratable Share of such Letter of Credit and the
participation of each other Lender in such Letter of Credit shall be adjusted accordingly and (ii)
will acquire (and will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, in
immediately available funds, an amount equal to) its Ratable Share of all outstanding Participation
Advances.
2.1.1.3 Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitment. The Borrowers shall have the right
at any time after the Closing Date upon five (5) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent to permanently reduce (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their Ratable Shares) the
Revolving Credit Commitments, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and whole multiples of $1,000,000,
or to terminate completely the Revolving Credit Commitments, without penalty or premium except as
hereinafter set forth; provided that any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied
by prepayment of the Notes (in accordance with Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments]) (and all
amounts referred to in Section 5.10 [Indemnity] hereof) to the extent necessary to cause the
aggregate Revolving Facility Usage after giving effect to such prepayments to be equal to or less
than the Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced or terminated. Any notice to reduce the
Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.1.1.3 shall be irrevocable.
2.1.2 Swing Loan Commitment.
2.1.2.1 Swing Loans Generally.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and
warranties herein set forth, and in order to facilitate loans and repayments between Settlement
Dates, PNC, as a Swing Loan Lender may (unless it has received written notice of the existence of
any Event of Default and so long as such shall continue to exist or, unless consented to by the
Required Lenders, a Potential Default and so long as such shall continue to exist), at its option,
cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loans in Dollars and, subject to
Section 2.1.2.2 below, PNC or any other Swing Loan Lender may (unless such Swing Loan Lender has
received written notice of the existence of any Event of Default and so long as such shall continue
to exist or, unless consented to by the Required Lenders, a Potential Default and so long as such
shall continue to exist), at its option, cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make
swing loans in Optional Currencies (collectively, all such Dollar and Optional Currency swing loans
are referred to as the “Swing Loans”), to the Borrowers at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof to, but not including, the Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent
amount up to but not in excess of the Swing Loan Sublimit, provided that after giving
effect to each such Loan, the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the Revolving Credit
Commitments.
(ii) Within the limits of time and amount set forth in this Section 2.1.2, and subject to the
other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this
Section 2.1.2.
39
(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, as a condition to the making of any optional
Swing Loan, if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, PNC may require that
satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender be entered into to eliminate
the Swing Loan Lenders’ risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender (it being understood that PNC
would consider the Borrowers or the Defaulting Lender providing cash collateral to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lenders, to secure the Defaulting Lender’s
Ratable Share of the Swing Loans, a satisfactory arrangement).
2.1.2.2 Swing Loans in Optional Currencies.
(i) If the Borrowers wish to request a Swing Loan in an Optional Currency, the Borrowers shall
so indicate in their Swing Loan Request delivered pursuant to Section 2.3.2 [Swing Loan Requests]
below. If the request for a Swing Loan in an Optional Currency is an initial request as to which
no Swing Loan Lender has yet agreed to enter into a Swing Loan Commitment, the applicable Swing
Loan Request shall be delivered by Borrowers to the existing Swing Loan Lenders for their
consideration, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. If the request relates to an existing
Swing Loan Commitment in Optional Currencies of a particular Swing Loan Lender, it shall be
delivered to the applicable Swing Loan Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. In the
case of an initial request for a Swing Loan in an Optional Currency as to which no Swing Loan
Lender has provided a Swing Loan Commitment, if the existing Swing Loan Lenders do not agree to
make such requested Swing Loan in an Optional Currency by providing a Swing Loan Commitment with
respect thereto, then the Swing Loan Lenders shall so inform the Administrative Agent, which shall
then submit such request to the other Lenders for their consideration. No Lender shall be
obligated to provide such Swing Loan in an Optional Currency and the provision of any such Swing
Loan in an Optional Currency by any Lender shall be in the sole discretion of such Lender. If any
Lender agrees to make a Swing Loan in an Optional Currency by providing a Swing Loan Commitment
with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver a Swing Loan Note to each such Swing
Loan Lender in the maximum amount of such Swing Loan Lender’s Swing Loan Commitment with respect to
Swing Loans in Optional Currencies (or specified Optional Currencies, as the case may be), pursuant
to Section 2.7.1 [Notes], and the applicable Swing Loan Lender’s acceptance of such Swing Loan Note
shall provide its Swing Loan Commitment. Swing Loans in Optional Currencies, if made, shall be
made by existing Lenders, who shall by the making of such Swing Loans in Optional Currencies become
Swing Loan Lenders hereunder.
(ii) Swing Loans in Optional Currencies are subject to the following additional limitations:
(a) Swing Loans of all Borrowers in Optional Currencies may not exceed the aggregate Dollar
Equivalent principal amount of $25,000,000; (b) Swing Loans of any Foreign Borrower may not exceed
an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount equal to 20% of such Foreign Borrower’s applicable
Foreign Borrower Sublimit; (c) if total Revolving Facility Usage at any time exceeds $325,000,000
(i) no Swing Loans in Optional Currencies may be requested until Revolving Facility Usage falls
below $300,000,000, and (ii) all outstanding Swing Loans in Optional Currencies shall be
immediately converted to Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.4.5 [Borrowings to Repay
Swing Loans] if Revolving Credit Loans are then available or, if they are not, repaid in full by
Borrowers; (d) Swing Loans in Optional
Currencies must comply with Section 2.6 [Utilization of Commitments in Optional Currencies],
including without limitation the provision in Section 2.6.1 [Notices From Lenders That Optional
Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund New Loans] that no Swing Loan may be requested if the
40
aggregate
amount of Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans) in all Optional Currencies, taking into
account such requested Swing Loan and all other Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans) then
outstanding in all Optional Currencies, would exceed the aggregate Optional Currency Sublimit
applicable to all Optional Currencies; and (e) if an Event of Default exists, no Swing Loans in
Optional Currencies may thereafter be requested and all outstanding Swing Loans in Optional
Currencies shall be immediately converted to Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.4.5
[Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans] if Revolving Credit Loans are then available or, if they are not,
repaid in full by Borrowers.
2.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans.
Each Lender shall be obligated to participate in each request for Revolving Credit Loans
pursuant to Section 2.3 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] in accordance with
its Ratable Share. The aggregate Dollar Equivalent of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans
outstanding hereunder to the Borrowers at any time shall never exceed its Revolving Credit
Commitment minus its Dollar Equivalent Ratable Share of the outstanding Swing Loans and Letter of
Credit Obligations. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several. The failure of any
Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrowers to
any other party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its
obligations hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans
hereunder on or after the Expiration Date.
2.3 Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests.
2.3.1 Revolving Credit Loan Requests.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrowers may from time to time prior to the
Expiration Date request the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans, or renew or convert the
Interest Rate Option applicable to existing Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 4.2
[Interest Periods], by delivering to the Administrative Agent, not later than 12:00 p.m., (i) three
(3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of Revolving
Credit Loans in Dollars to which the Euro-Rate Option applies or the conversion to or the renewal
of the Euro-Rate Option for any Loans in Dollars; (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed
Borrowing Date with respect to the making of Revolving Credit Loans in an Optional Currency or the
date of conversion to or renewal of the Euro-Rate Option for Revolving Credit Loans in an Optional
Currency; and (iii) the same Business Day of the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making
of a Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies or the last day of the preceding
Interest Period with respect to the conversion to the Base Rate Option for any Loan, of a duly
completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3 or a request by
telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex in such form (each, a
“Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any
individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written
confirmation. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of
the proposed Loans (expressed in the currency in which such Loans shall be funded) comprising each
Borrowing Tranche, the Dollar Equivalent amount of which shall be in (x) integral multiples of
$500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 for each
Borrowing Tranche to which the Euro-Rate Option applies and (y) integral multiples of $100,000
and not less than $500,000 for each Borrowing Tranche under the Base Rate Option; (ii) whether the
Euro-Rate Option or Base Rate Option shall apply to the proposed Revolving Credit Loans comprising
the applicable Borrowing Tranche; (iii) the currency in which such Loans shall be funded if the
41
Borrowers are electing the Euro-Rate Option; (iv) in the case of a Borrowing Tranche to which the
Euro-Rate Option applies, an appropriate Interest Period for the Loans comprising such Borrowing
Tranche; and (v) which Borrower is requesting the Revolving Credit Loan.
2.3.2 Swing Loan Requests.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrowers may from time to time prior to the
Expiration Date request PNC, as a Swing Loan Lender, to make Swing Loans in Dollars, or request PNC
or any other Swing Loan Lender to make Swing Loans in Optional Currencies, by delivering to such
Swing Loan Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, not later than 12:00 noon on the
proposed Borrowing Date of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of
Exhibit 2.3.2 hereto or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter,
facsimile or telex (each, a “Swing Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative
Agent and Swing Loan Lenders may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic
request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Swing Loan Request
shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed Borrowing Date and the principal amount of such
Swing Loan, which shall be not less than $100,000.
2.4 Making and Repaying Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans; Presumptions by the
Administrative Agent.
2.4.1 Making Revolving Credit Loans.
The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt by it of a Loan Request pursuant to
Section 2.3 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests], notify the Lenders of its
receipt of such Loan Request specifying the information provided by the Borrowers, including the
currency in which Revolving Credit Loan is requested, and the apportionment among the Lenders of
the requested Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans]. Each Lender
shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan in the requested Optional Currency
(or in Dollars if so requested by the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent such that
the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders
have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter
of Credit], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers in immediately available funds in
Dollars or the requested Optional Currency (as applicable) at the Principal Office prior to 2:00
p.m., on the applicable Borrowing Date; provided that if any Lender fails to remit such
funds, in the applicable Optional Currency, to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner, the
Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving
Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the
repayment obligation in Section 2.4.2 [Presumptions by the Administrative Agent].
2.4.2 Presumptions by the Administrative Agent.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed
date of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share
available on such date in accordance with Section 2.4.1 [Making Revolving Credit Loans] and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
42
Borrowers to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such
Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, with respect to any payment in an
Optional Currency, the Overnight Rate) and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment
to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option. If
such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so
paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice
to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to
the Administrative Agent.
2.4.3 Making Swing Loans.
So long as each Swing Loan Lender elects to make Swing Loans, such Swing Loan Lender shall,
after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.3.2 [Swing Loan Requests] fund
such Swing Loan to the Borrowers in Dollars or, if applicable, the relevant Optional Currency, and
immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 4:00 p.m. on the Borrowing Date or, in
the case of Swing Loans in Optional Currencies, prior to such date and time as has been agreed
among the Administrative Agent, relevant Swing Loan Lender and the Borrowers.
2.4.4 Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans.
The Borrowers shall repay the Revolving Credit Loans together with all outstanding interest
thereon on the Expiration Date.
2.4.5 Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans.
Each Swing Loan Lender may, at its option, exercisable at any time for any reason whatsoever,
demand repayment of its Swing Loans, and each Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in Dollars
in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Swing Loans of such Swing Loan Lender, plus, if such Swing Loan Lender so requests,
accrued interest thereon, provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make
Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share
of Letter of Credit Obligations (to the extent applicable, calculated using Dollar Equivalents).
Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Base Rate
Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.3.1
[Revolving Credit Loan Requests] without regard to any of the requirements of that provision. Each
Swing Loan Lender shall provide notice to the Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by
letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this Section
2.4.5 and of the apportionment among
the Lenders, and the Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit
Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 2.3.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests]
are then satisfied) by the time such Swing Loan Lender so requests, which shall not be earlier than
3:00 p.m. on the Business Day next after the date the Lenders receive such notice from such Swing
Loan Lender.
2.4.6 Swing Loans Under Cash Management Agreements.
In addition to making Swing Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.4.3
[Making Swing Loans], without the requirement for a specific request from the Borrowers pursuant to
Section 2.3.2 [Swing Loan Requests], PNC as a Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans to the
Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of the agreements between the Company and such Swing
Loan Lender relating to the Company’s deposit, sweep and other accounts at such Swing Loan Lender
and related arrangements and agreements regarding the management and investment of the Company’s
cash assets as in effect from time to time (the “Cash Management Agreements”) to the extent of the
daily aggregate net negative balance in the Company’s
43
accounts which are subject to the provisions
of the Cash Management Agreements. Swing Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.4.6 in accordance
with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements shall (i) be subject to the limitations as to
aggregate amount set forth in Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitment], (ii) not be subject to the
limitations as to individual amount set forth in Section 2.3.2 [Swing Loan Requests], (iii) be
payable by the Borrowers, both as to principal and interest, at the rates and times set forth in
the Cash Management Agreements (but in no event later than the Expiration Date), (iv) not be made
at any time after such Swing Loan Lender has received written notice of the occurrence of an Event
of Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, or, unless consented to by the Required
Lenders, a Potential Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, (v) if not repaid by the
Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements, be subject to each
Lender’s obligation pursuant to Section 2.4.5 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans], and (vi) except as
provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v), be subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Section 2. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that each Borrower materially
benefits from the arrangements made pursuant to Section 2.3 and the Cash Management Agreements, and
each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable, subject to Section 11.14 [Foreign Borrowers and
Foreign Guarantors], for all Obligations, including without limitation, those arising from the
operation of this Section.
2.4.7 Records of Swing Loans in Optional Currencies.
Each Swing Loan Lender which agrees in its discretion hereunder to provide Swing Loans in
Optional Currencies to the Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent with (i) written notice
on the same Business Day of the advancing, repayment or prepayment of each such Swing Loan,
specifying the amount so advanced, repaid or prepaid, (ii) immediately upon execution thereof,
copies of each applicable Swing Loan Note, and (iii) promptly upon request, such other information
as the Administrative Agent may request from time to time with respect to Swing Loans in Optional
Currencies.
2.5 Letter of Credit Subfacility.
2.5.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit.
The Borrowers may at any time prior to the Expiration Date request the issuance of a standby
letter of credit or Commercial Letter of Credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) which may be
denominated in either Dollars or an Optional Currency on behalf of themselves, another Loan Party
or another Subsidiary of the Company, or the amendment or extension of an existing Letter of
Credit, by delivering or having such other Loan Party deliver to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) a completed application and agreement for letters of credit, or request
for such amendment or extension, as applicable, in such form as the Issuing Lender may specify from
time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days, or such shorter period as
may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Promptly
after receipt of any letter of credit application, the Issuing Lender shall confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy
of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will provide Administrative
Agent with a copy thereof. All letters of credit which are identified on Schedule 2.5.1 hereto,
which shall consist of all letters of credit issued under the Prior Senior Credit Facility which
are outstanding on the Closing Date, shall be deemed to have been issued under this Agreement.
Unless the Issuing Lender has received notice from any Lender, Administrative Agent or any Loan
Party, at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension of the
applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Section 7 [Conditions of
Lending and
44
Issuance of Letters of Credit] is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section
2.4.6, the Issuing Lender or any of the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates will issue a Letter of Credit
or agree to such amendment or extension, provided that each Letter of Credit shall (A) have
a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and (B) in no event expire
later than the Expiration Date and provided further that in no event shall (i) the Dollar
Equivalent of Letter of Credit Obligations exceed, at any one time, $25,000,000 (the “Letter of
Credit Sublimit”) or (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving
Credit Commitments. Each request by the Borrowers for the issuance, amendment or extension of a
Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that they shall be in
compliance with the preceding sentence and with Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of
Letters of Credit] after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment or extension of such
Letter of Credit. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter
of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will also deliver to Borrowers
and Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue any
Letter of Credit, if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such Issuing
Lender has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender to
eliminate the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender (it being understood
that the Issuing Lender would consider the Borrowers or the Defaulting Lender providing cash
collateral to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender, to secure the
Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of the Letter of Credit, a satisfactory arrangement).
2.5.2 Letter of Credit Fees.
The Borrowers shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders
a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate, and (ii) to
the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to .125% per annum (in each case
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed), which fees shall be
computed on the Dollar Equivalent daily average Letter of Credit Obligations and shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date following issuance of each Letter of Credit. The
Borrowers shall also pay to the Issuing Lender for the Issuing Lender’s sole account the Issuing
Lender’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the
Letters of Credit as the Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in
connection with the issuance, maintenance, amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any),
negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit.
2.5.3 Disbursements, Reimbursement.
Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Lender a participation
in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in a Dollar Equivalent amount equal to such
Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and
the amount of such drawing, respectively.
2.5.3.1 In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary
or transferee thereof, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent thereof. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrowers shall reimburse
(such obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement
Obligation”) the Issuing Lender prior to 12:00
45
noon on each date that an amount is paid by the
Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) by paying to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount equal to the amount so paid by
the Issuing Lender, in the same currency as paid, unless otherwise required by the Administrative
Agent. In the event the Borrowers fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon on the Drawing
Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrowers shall be
deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made in an Equivalent Amount of such
Reimbursement Obligations by the Lenders in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on
the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of
the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan
or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements. The Borrowers’ failure to reimburse the
Issuing Lender pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not constitute an Event of Default so long
as the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment is sufficient to
reimburse the Issuing Lender and the other conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or
Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements are satisfied. Any notice given by the
Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5.3.1 may be oral if immediately
confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not
affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
2.5.3.2 Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.5.3.1 make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount in Dollars in immediately
available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the drawing,
whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.5.3 [Disbursement; Reimbursement])
each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to the
Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such
amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. on the
Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment,
from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, for any payment in an Optional Currency, the
Overnight Rate) during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per
annum equal to the rate applicable to Loans under the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option on and
after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender
will promptly give notice (as described in Section 2.5.3.1 above) of the occurrence of the Drawing
Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the
Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such Drawing Date
shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.5.3.2.
2.5.3.3 With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit
Loans in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to the Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by
Section 2.5.3.1, because of the Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section
7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements, or for any other reason,
the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a “Letter
of Credit Borrowing”) in Dollars in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing
shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per
annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option. Each Lender’s payment
to the Administrative Agent for the
46
account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.5.3
[Disbursements, Reimbursement] shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in
such Letter of Credit Borrowing (each a “Participation Advance”) from such Lender in satisfaction
of its participation obligation under this Section 2.5.3.
2.5.4 Repayment of Participation Advances.
2.5.4.1 Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender of immediately available funds from the Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any
payment made by the Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has
made a Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a
payment made by the Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the
Administrative Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the
Administrative Agent shall retain for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of the Ratable
Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such
payment by the Issuing Lender.
2.5.4.2 If the Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to
a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any
portion of any payment made by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of
Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent,
forthwith return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of
its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent plus interest thereon from
the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the
Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, for any
payment in an Optional Currency, the Overnight Rate) in effect from time to time.
2.5.5 Documentation.
Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Issuing Lender’s application and
agreement for letters of credit and the Issuing Lender’s written regulations and customary
practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan
Party’s own. In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement,
this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross
negligence or willful misconduct, the Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, negligence
and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party’s instructions or
those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.
2.5.6 Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests.
In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the
beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents
and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that
they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.
2.5.7 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.
Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans
or Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.5.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement], as a
47
result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrowers to
reimburse the Issuing Lender upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional

Credit Loans and Swing Loans; Etc.] or Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] or as otherwise
set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that

of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.5.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement];
(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;
(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Loan Party or any Lender

time against a beneficiary, successor beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any Letter of
Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the
Issuing Lender or its Affiliates or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any
underlying transaction between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary
for which any Letter of Credit was procured);
(v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any
signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document
presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in
connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services
relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates
has been notified thereof;
(vi) payment by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates under any Letter of Credit against
presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit;
(vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit,
or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit,
or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any
property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;
48
(viii) any failure by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates to issue any Letter of
Credit in the form requested by any Loan Party, unless the Issuing Lender has received written
notice from such Loan Party of such failure within three Business Days after the Issuing
Lender shall have furnished such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of
Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such
notice;
(ix) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial

(xiii) the fact that the Expiration Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the
Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and
(xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing.
2.5.8 Indemnity. Each Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Lender
and any of its Affiliates that has issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims,
demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and
expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which the Issuing
Lender or any of its Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of
the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (A) the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction or (B) the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Lender or any of Issuing
Lender’s Affiliates of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such
dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future
de jure or de facto government or Official Body.
2.5.9 Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any Loan Party and the Issuing Lender, or the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, such
Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by,
the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of
the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for any of the following, including any
losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form,
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party
in connection with the application for an 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
(even if the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity
or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any
such Letter of Credit
49
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) the failure of the
beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be
transferred, to comply fully with
any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any
Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute
between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee;
(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 the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission
of any Official Body, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any
of the Issuing Lender’s or its Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding
sentence shall relieve the Issuing Lender from liability for the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through
(viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates be liable to any
Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or
expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any
change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender and each of its
Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Issuing
Lender or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a
Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face
substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may
honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was
pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise,
and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially
been honored, together with any interest paid by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliate; (iv) may
honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment,
upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is
being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other
document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any
paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the
place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the
Issuing Lender or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request
to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar
document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is
the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in
connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.
In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above,
any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates 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 the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under any resulting
liability to the Borrowers or any Lender.
50
2.5.10 Issuing Lender Reporting Requirements. Any Issuing Lender other than PNC shall, on the first Business Day of each month, provide to
Administrative Agent and Borrowers a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and
substance satisfactory to
Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party (if
applicable), the original face amount (if any) and the expiration date of any Letter of Credit of
such Lender outstanding at any time during the preceding month, and any other information relating
to such Letters of Credit that the Administrative Agent may request.
2.5.11 Cash Collateral. Upon the request of Administrative Agent, (i) if any Issuing Lender has honored any full or
partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a Letter of
Credit Borrowing which has not been repaid by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.5.3.3
[Disbursements, Reimbursement], or (ii) if, on the Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit Obligation
for any reason remains outstanding, Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize
the then outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations. Each Borrower hereby grants to
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a security interest
in all cash collateral pledged pursuant to this Section or otherwise under this Agreement.
2.6 Utilization of Commitments in Optional Currencies.
2.6.1 Periodic Computations of Dollar Equivalent Amounts of Revolving Credit Loans and
Letters of Credit Outstanding; Repayment in Same Currency.
For purposes of determining utilization of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Administrative
Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of (i) proposed Letters of Credit to be
denominated in an Optional Currency as of the requested Borrowing Date or date of issuance, as the
case may be, (ii) Letters of Credit Outstanding denominated in an Optional Currency as of the last
Business Day of each month, and (iii) outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional
Currency as of the end of each Interest Period and, in the case of Swing Loans, as and when the
Administrative Agent determines such computation is necessary (each such date under clauses (i)
through (iii), and any other date on which the Administrative Agent determines it is necessary or
advisable to make such computation, in its sole discretion, is referred to as a “Computation
Date”). Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Loan and Reimbursement Obligation shall
be repaid or prepaid in the same currency in which the Loan or Reimbursement Obligation was made.
2.6.2 Notices From Lenders That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund New
Loans.
The Lenders shall be under no obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans requested by the
Borrowers which are denominated in an Optional Currency if any Lender notifies the Administrative
Agent by 5:00 p.m. four (4) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such Revolving Credit
Loans that such Lender cannot provide its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of such Revolving Credit
Loans in such Optional Currency. In the event the Administrative Agent timely receives a notice
from a Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the
Borrowers no later than 12:00 noon three (3) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such
Revolving Credit Loans that the Optional Currency is not then available for such Revolving Credit
Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of the same and
the Lenders shall not make such Revolving Credit Loans requested by the Borrowers under their Loan
Request. The Lenders shall also be under no obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans
requested by the Borrowers to be denominated in an Optional Currency if the aggregate amount of
Revolving Credit Loans (i) in such Optional
51
Currency, taking into account such requested Revolving
Credit Loans and all other Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding in such Optional Currency, would
exceed the individual Optional Currency Sublimit applicable to such requested Optional Currency, or
(ii) in all Optional Currencies, taking into account such requested Revolving Credit Loans and all other Revolving
Credit Loans then outstanding in all Optional Currencies, would exceed the aggregate Optional
Currency Sublimit applicable to all Optional Currencies.
2.6.3 Notices From Lenders That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund Renewals of
the Euro-Rate Option.
If the Borrowers deliver a Loan Request requesting that the Lenders renew the Euro-Rate Option
with respect to an outstanding Borrowing Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an
Optional Currency, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to renew such Euro-Rate Option if any
Lender delivers to the Administrative Agent a notice by 5:00 p.m. four (4) Business Days prior to
the effective date of such renewal that such Lender cannot continue to provide Revolving Credit
Loans in such Optional Currency. In the event the Administrative Agent timely receives a notice
from a Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the
Borrowers no later than 12:00 noon three (3) Business Days prior to the renewal date that the
renewal of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency is not then available, and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of the same. If the
Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrowers that any such continuation of such
Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency is not then available, any notice of renewal with
respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn, and such Loans shall be redenominated into Loans in
Dollars at the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option, at the Company’s option on behalf of the
Borrowers (subject, in the case of the Euro-Rate Option, to compliance with Section 2.4 [Making
Revolving Credit Loans, Etc.] and Section 4.1 [Interest Rate Options]), with effect from the last
day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of any such redenomination, and in such notice, the
Administrative Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the redenominated
Revolving Credit Loans in an Optional Currency as of the applicable Computation Date with respect
thereto and such Lender’s Revolving Credit Ratable Share thereof.
52
2.6.4 European Monetary Union.
2.6.4.1 Payments In Euros Under Certain Circumstances. If (i) any Optional Currency
ceases to be lawful currency of the nation issuing the same and is replaced by the Euro or (ii) any
Optional Currency and the Euro are at the same time recognized by any governmental authority of the
nation issuing such currency as lawful currency of such nation and the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders shall so request in a notice delivered to the Borrowers, then any amount payable
hereunder by any party hereto in such Optional Currency shall instead by payable in the Euro and
the amount so payable shall be determined by translating the amount payable in such Optional
Currency to the Euro at the exchange rate established by that nation for the purpose of
implementing the replacement of the relevant Optional Currency by the Euro (and the provisions
governing payments in Optional Currencies in this Agreement shall apply to such payment in the Euro
as if such payment in the Euro were a payment in an Optional Currency). Prior to the occurrence of
the event or events described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, each amount payable
hereunder in any Optional Currency will, except as otherwise provided herein, continue to be
payable only in that currency.
2.6.4.2 Additional Compensation Under Certain Circumstances. The Borrowers agree, at
the request of any Lender, to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost, expense or reduction in
return that such Lender shall reasonably determine shall be incurred or sustained by such Lender as
a result of the replacement of any Optional Currency by the Euro
and that would not have been incurred or sustained but for the transactions provided for
herein. A certificate of any Lender setting forth such Lender’s determination of the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error so long as such determination is made on a reasonable basis. The
Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10)
days after receipt thereof.
2.6.5 Requests for Additional Optional Currencies.
The Borrowers may deliver to the Administrative Agent a written request that Revolving Credit
Loans hereunder also be permitted to be made in any other lawful currency (other than Dollars), in
addition to the currencies specified in the definition of “Optional Currency” herein,
provided that such currency must be freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign
exchange markets, freely transferable, freely convertible into Dollars and available to the Lenders
in the Relevant Interbank Market. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any
such request promptly after the Administrative Agent receives such request. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of the acceptance or rejection by the Administrative Agent
and each of the Lenders of the Borrowers’ request. The requested currency shall be approved as an
Optional Currency hereunder only if the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders approve of the
Borrowers’ request.
2.7 Provisions Applicable to All Loans.
2.7.1 Notes.
The Obligation of the Borrowers to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the
Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans made to them by each Lender, together with interest thereon,
shall be evidenced by a revolving credit Note and Swing Loan Notes dated as of the Closing Date
(or, if later, the date such Lender becomes a Lender or Swing Loan Lender, as the case may be,
hereunder in accordance with this Agreement), payable to the order of such Lender in a face amount
equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment or
53
Swing Loan Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender.
Upon request to the Administrative Agent made prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date
such Lender becomes a Lender or a Swing Loan Lender, as the case may be, hereunder in accordance
with this Agreement), any Lender may elect to evidence the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
all Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans made by it through the maintenance in the ordinary
course of business of accounts or records, which accounts or records shall be available to the
Administrative Agent to review promptly upon request, in lieu of receipt of original Notes. In the
event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts
and records of the Administrative Agent with respect to such matters, the accounts and records of
the Administrative Agent shall control absent manifest error.
2.7.2 Use of Proceeds.
The proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for repaying in full and terminating the
Prior Senior Credit Facility and financing working capital, permitted capital expenditures,
Permitted Acquisitions, the redemption, purchase or repurchase of 2015 Senior Notes and/or 2027
Convertible Notes and general corporate purposes (including the payment of fees and expenses
related to foregoing permitted purposes).
2.7.3 Commitment Fees.
Accruing from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, the Borrowers agree to pay in Dollars
to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the
“Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of
360 days and actual days
elapsed) multiplied by the average daily difference between the amount of (i) such Lender’s
Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Revolving Facility Usage
(except that for purposes of this computation, each Swing Loan Lender’s Swing Loans shall be deemed
to be borrowed amounts under its Revolving Credit Commitment and not under the Revolving Credit
Commitments of the other Lenders); provided, however, that any Commitment Fee
accrued with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period
prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be
payable by the Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent
that such Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrowers prior to such
time; and provided further that no Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the
Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting
Lender. Subject to the proviso in the directly preceding sentence, all Commitment Fees shall be
payable in arrears on each Payment Date.
2.7.4 Joint and Several Obligations.
Subject to any limitations expressly set forth in Section 11.14 [Foreign Borrowers and
Guarantors] with respect to Foreign Borrowers and in any Guaranty Agreement of any Foreign
Guarantor with respect to Foreign Guarantors, all Obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors
are joint and several.
3. RESERVED
4. INTEREST RATES
4.1 Interest Rate Options. The Borrowers shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the
Loans as selected by them from the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option set forth below applicable
to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers
may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously
to the Loans comprising different Borrowing
54
Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more
Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing
Tranche; provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than twelve (12)
Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans and provided further that if an
Event of Default exists and is continuing, the Borrowers may not request, convert to, or renew the
Euro-Rate Option for any Loans and all existing Borrowing Tranches bearing interest under the
Euro-Rate Option shall be converted as their Interest Periods expire to the Base Rate Option. If
at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s
highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s
highest lawful rate. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan made in an Optional Currency
shall be paid by the Borrowers in such Optional Currency.
4.1.1 Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options; Swing Line Interest Rate.
Subject to Section 4.3 [Interest During Event of Default], the Borrowers shall have the right
to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans except
that no Loan to which a Base Rate shall apply may be made in an Optional Currency:
(i) Revolving Credit Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to
time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or
(ii) Revolving Credit Euro-Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate plus the Applicable
Margin; provided, however, that in the case of a Revolving Credit Loan which is
denominated in Canadian dollars, such rate per annum shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 day
year.
(iii) Swing Loans: Swing Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to Daily Euro-Rate plus the
Applicable Margin with respect to Loans bearing interest at the Euro-Rate Option; provided,
however, that Swing Loans in Optional Currencies may, if necessary, bear interest based on an
alternative daily floating rate of interest agreed among the applicable Swing Loan Lenders and
Borrowers.
4.1.2 Rate Quotations.
The Borrowers may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request
is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged
that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders nor affect the
rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.
4.2 Interest Periods.
At any time when the Borrowers shall select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option, the
Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof at least four (4) Business Days prior to
the effective date of such Interest Rate Option, with respect to a Loan in an Optional Currency,
and, in all other cases, three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Euro-Rate
Option by delivering a Loan Request. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such
Interest Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions
shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a Euro-Rate Option:
55
4.2.1 Amount of Borrowing Tranche.
Each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option shall be in integral multiples of
$500,000 and not less than $1,000,000; and
4.2.2 Renewals.
In the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first
day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without
duplication in payment of interest for such day.
4.3 Interest During Event of Default.
To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time
such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, and at the discretion of the Administrative
Agent (or as directed by the Required Lenders in their discretion) effective following notice to
the Borrowers:
4.3.1 Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate.
The Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant
to Section 2.5.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] or Section 4.1 [Interest Rate Options], respectively,
shall be increased either: (i) in the case of Letter of Credit Fees, if so directed by the
Required Lenders, by 2.00% per annum; or (ii) in the case of each Loan, by an amount equal to the
sum of (a) the excess, if any, of (x) the highest Applicable Margin set forth in Schedule
1.1(A) [Pricing Grid] with respect to Loans accruing interest based on the Base Rate Option,
over (y) the existing Applicable Margin for such Loan, expressed as a percentage per annum,
plus (b) if so directed by the Required Lenders, 2.00% per annum;
4.3.2 Other Obligations.
Each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable under the Base Rate Option plus an
additional 2.00% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is
paid in full; and
4.3.3 Acknowledgment.
The Borrowers acknowledge that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 4.3
reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially
greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional
compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by Borrowers upon demand by
Administrative Agent.
4.4 Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.
4.4.1 Unascertainable.
If on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be determined, the Administrative Agent
shall have determined that:
(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or
(ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank
eurodollar market or the CDOR Market, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in
Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].
4.4.2 Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.
If at any time any Lender shall have determined that:
56
(i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies has
been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any
interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any
such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or
(ii) such Euro-Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of
the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or
(iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars or in
the Optional Currency (as applicable) for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks
generally, to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with
respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market,
then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative
Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].
4.4.3 Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights.
In the case of any event specified in Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] above, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrowers thereof, and in the
case of an event specified in Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available]
above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to
such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon
such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such
notice is given), the
obligation of (A) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent,
or (B) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrowers to
select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option or select on Optional Currency (as applicable) shall
be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrowers, or such Lender
shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s,
as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination
no longer exist. If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section
4.4.1 [Unascertainable] and the Borrowers have previously notified the Administrative Agent of
their selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate Option and such Interest Rate Option
has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of,
conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans.
If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 4.4.2
[Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], the Borrowers shall, subject to the
Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender
to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either (i) as applicable,
convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan, or select
a different Optional Currency or Dollars, or (ii) prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 5.6
[Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrowers of conversion or prepayment, such
Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to
such Loan upon such specified date.
4.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options.
If the Borrowers fail to select a new Interest Period or Optional Currency to apply to any
Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest
Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in
57
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2
[Interest Periods], the Borrowers shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the
Base Rate Option, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.
4.6 Interest Act (Canada) Disclosure.
For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest
or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year or any other period less than a full year, the yearly rate of interest to which the
rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of
days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or the number
of days in such other period, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are
nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest
does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.
4.7 Canadian Usury Provision.
If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Canadian Borrower to make any payment of
interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be
prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate”
(as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such
provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the
maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable
law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to
be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:
(i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and
(ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other
amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the
Criminal Code (Canada).
4.8 Minimum Interest Clause for Swiss Borrowers.
The rates of interest provided for in this Agreement, insofar as they relate to the Swiss
Tranche, are minimum interest rates. When entering into this Agreement, the parties have assumed
that the interest payable by Swiss Borrowers at the rates set out in this Section or in other
Sections of this Agreement is not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding Tax.
Notwithstanding that the parties hereto do not anticipate that any payment of interest will be
subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, such parties agree that, in the event that (a) Swiss Withholding
Tax is imposed on interest payments by any Swiss Borrower and (b) such Swiss Borrower is unable,
solely by reason of the Swiss Withholding Tax Act, to comply with Section 5.9.1 [Payments Free of
Taxes], then
(i) the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment shall be (A) the
interest rate which would have applied to that interest payment as provided for in Section 4.1
[Interest Rate Options] divided by (B) 1 minus the rate at which the relevant Tax deduction is
required to be made under Swiss domestic tax law and/or applicable double taxation treaties (where
the rate at which the relevant Tax deduction is required to be made is for this purpose expressed
as a fraction of 1); and
58
(ii) the Swiss Borrower shall (A) pay the relevant interest at the adjusted rate in accordance
with paragraph (i) above, (B) make the Tax deduction on the interest so recalculated and (C) all
references to a rate of interest under the Agreement shall be construed accordingly.
To the extent that interest payable by a Swiss Borrower under this Agreement becomes subject
to Swiss Withholding Tax, at the Borrowers’ expense, the Parties shall promptly cooperate in
completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the
appropriate Tax authority) to the extent possible and necessary for the specific Swiss Borrower to
obtain the tax ruling from Swiss Federal Tax Administration.
All the other provisions of Section 5.9 [Taxes] shall otherwise apply except for the gross-up
requirement provided for under Section 5.9.1 [Payments Free of Taxes].
5. PAYMENTS
5.1 Payments.
All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Commitment Fees,
Letter of Credit Fees, Administrative Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrowers
hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date when due without presentment, demand,
protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, and
without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall
immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal
Office for the account of the Swing Loan Lenders with respect to the Swing Loans and for the
ratable accounts of the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars (unless
otherwise provided herein) and in immediately
available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the
Lenders in immediately available funds; provided that in the event payments are received by
11:00 a.m. by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not
distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
Agent shall pay the Lenders the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts
due in Dollars, or the Overnight Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in an Optional
Currency, with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent
and not distributed to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of
account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as
the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under
this Agreement and shall be deemed an “account stated.”
5.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders.
Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated to each Lender according to its
Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to, or renewal of, any Interest Rate Option and
each payment or prepayment by the Borrowers with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees,
Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees (except for the Administrative Agent’s Fee and the Issuing
Lender’s fronting fee) or amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder to the Lenders with respect to
the Commitments and Loans, shall (except as otherwise may be provided with respect to a Defaulting
Lender and except as provided in Section 4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the
case of an event specified in Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], Section 5.6.2
[Replacement of a Lender] or Section 5.8 [Increased Costs]) be payable ratably among the Lenders
entitled to such payment in accordance with the amount of principal, interest, Commitment Fees,
Letter of Credit Fees, and other fees or amounts then due or payable to such Lenders as set forth
in this Agreement.
59
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment
by the Borrowers of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due from the Borrowers solely with
respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to the Swing Loan Lenders according to Section 2.4.5
[Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans].
5.3 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by
receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations
hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share of
the amount such Lender is entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall
(a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other
adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law
(including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase; and
(ii) the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment
made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents
or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant, other
than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 5.3
shall apply).
Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the
amount of such participation.
Any Lender that fails at any time to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall be
deemed a Defaulting Lender until such time as it performs its obligations hereunder and is not
otherwise a Defaulting Lender for any other reason. A Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have
assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of or relating to
outstanding Loans, Letters of Credit, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-defaulting
Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective Ratable Share of all outstanding
Loans and other unpaid
Obligations of any of the Loan Parties. The Defaulting Lender hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute such payments to the non-defaulting Lenders in
proportion to their respective Ratable Share of all outstanding Loans and other unpaid Obligations
of any of the Loan Parties to which such Lenders are entitled. A Defaulting Lender shall be deemed
to have satisfied the provisions of this Section 5.3 when and if, as a result of application of
the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans and other unpaid
60
Obligations of any of the Loan
Parties to the non-defaulting Lenders, the Lenders’ respective Ratable Share of all outstanding
Loans and unpaid Obligations have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such violation
of this Section 5.3.
5.4 Presumptions by Administrative Agent.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the
Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent
may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may
be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each
of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing
Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed
to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the
Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, for payments in an Optional Currency, the Overnight Rate) and a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.
5.5 Interest Payment Dates.
Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on
each Payment Date. Interest on Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies shall be due and
payable on the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is
longer than three (3) Months, also on the 90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory
prepayments of principal under Section 5.7 [Mandatory
Prepayments and Related Commitment Reductions] shall be due on the date such mandatory
prepayment is due. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation
shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes
due and payable (whether on the stated Expiration Date, upon acceleration or otherwise).
5.6 Voluntary Prepayments.
5.6.1 Right to Prepay.
The Borrowers shall have the right at their option from time to time to prepay the Loans in
whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a
Lender] below, in Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] and Section 5.10 [Indemnity]). Whenever the
Borrowers desire to prepay any part of the Loans, they shall provide a prepayment notice to the
Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans, and at
least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of any Loans in an Optional Currency,
or no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans, setting forth the following
information:
(w) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment
is to be made;
(x) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the
Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans;
(y) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between Loans to
which the Base Rate Option applies and Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies;
and
61
(z) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than
the lesser of (i) the Revolving Facility Usage or $500,000 for any Revolving Credit
Loan or (ii) $100,000 for any Swing Loan.
All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans for which a
prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount except with respect to
Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such
prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. Except as provided
in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], if the Borrowers prepay a Loan but
fail to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrowers are prepaying, the prepayment
shall be applied first to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, and then to Loans to which
the Euro-Rate Option applies which are not in Optional Currencies, and then to Loans in Optional
Currencies. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrowers’ Obligation to indemnify
the Lenders under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]. Prepayments shall be made in the currency in which
such Loan was made, unless otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent. Revolving Credit Loan
prepayments shall not result in a reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments unless the
Borrowers have so elected pursuant to Section 2.1.1.3 [Reduction in Revolving Credit Commitments],
or as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement.
5.6.2 Replacement of a Lender.
In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.],
(ii) requests compensation under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], or requires the Borrowers to pay
any additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 5.9 [Taxes], (iii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) becomes subject to the control of an
Official Body (other than normal
and customary supervision), or (v) is a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section 11.1
[Modifications, Amendments or Waivers], then in any such event the Borrowers may, at their sole
expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment),
provided that:
(i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in
Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns];
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal
of its Loans and Participation Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 5.10 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section
5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.9
[Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
and
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.
62
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to
require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
5.7 Mandatory Prepayments and Related Commitment Reductions.
5.7.1 Sale of Assets.
Within five (5) Business Days of any sale of assets by any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) authorized by clause (viii) of Section 8.2.7
[Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries] resulting in Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $15,000,000 in
the aggregate in any fiscal year or any other sale of assets not permitted under Section 8.2.7
[Disposition of Assets or Subsidiaries], if the proceeds are not intended by such Loan Party to be
used within 270 days for the purchase of replacement of assets (or on such 270th day if the Loan
Parties intended to use such proceeds for such replacement but fail to do so within such 270-day
period), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans (or Dollar Equivalent
thereof, as applicable) equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale immediately upon
receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth
below in this Section 5.7); provided that at any time the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as
of the fiscal quarter most recently ended prior to such sale for which a Compliance Certificate has
been delivered pursuant to Section 8.3.3 [Certificate of the Company], is equal to or less than
2.25 to 1.00 and no Event of Default exists, then such prepayment otherwise required as the result
of a sale of assets authorized by Section 8.2.7(viii) shall not be required.
5.7.2 Debt Issuances.
Upon the incurrence or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (other than an
Excluded Subsidiary) of any Indebtedness in excess of $15,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal
year authorized by Section 8.2.1(x) or any other incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness by any Loan
Party or any of its Subsidiaries not permitted to be incurred or issued in accordance with Section
8.2.1 [Indebtedness], the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans (or Dollar
Equivalent thereof, as applicable) equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom
immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be
applied as set forth below in this Section 5.7); provided that if the Consolidated
Leverage Ratio, as of the fiscal quarter most recently ended prior to such issuance for which a
Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 8.3.3 [Certificate of the Company],
is equal to or less than 2.25 to 1.00 and no Event of Default exists, then such prepayment
otherwise required as the result of the incurrence or issuance of any Indebtedness authorized by
Section 8.2.1(x) shall not be required.
5.7.3 Equity Issuances.
Upon the sale or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Equity Interests
(other than sales or issuances expressly permitted to be consummated in accordance with Section
8.2.12 [Issuance of Stock]), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans (or
Dollar Equivalent thereof, as applicable) equal to 50% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom
immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be
applied as set forth below in this Section 5.7); provided that if the Consolidated
Leverage Ratio, as of the fiscal quarter most recently ended prior to such issuance for which a
Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 8.3.3 [Certificate of the Company],
is equal to or less than 2.25 to 1.00 and no Event of Default exists, then such prepayment shall
not be required.
63
5.7.4 Material Recovery Events.
Upon the receipt of proceeds of any Material Recovery Event by or paid to or for the account
of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party, not otherwise described in a preceding section
of this Section 5.7, if the recovered proceeds are not intended by such Loan Party to be used
within 270 days for the repair, replacement or restoration of damaged property or in the case of a
Material Recovery Event consisting of a tax refund, to pay taxes (or on such 270th day if the
Borrowers intended to use such proceeds for such repair, replacement, restoration or payment of
taxes but fail to so use all such proceeds within such 270-day period), the Borrowers shall prepay
an aggregate principal amount of Loans (or Dollar Equivalent thereof, as applicable) equal to 100%
of all Net Cash Proceeds (or such lesser amount as shall not have been used as permitted hereunder
to repair, replace or restore damaged property or payment of taxes) received therefrom immediately
upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set
forth below in this Section 5.7); provided that if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as of
the fiscal quarter most recently ended prior to such issuance for which a Compliance Certificate
has been delivered pursuant to Section 8.3.3 [Certificate of the Company], is equal to or less
than 2.25 to 1.00 and no Event of Default exists, then such prepayment shall not be required.
5.7.5 Currency Fluctuations.
If on any Computation Date, the sum of the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage is
greater than the Revolving Credit Commitments (or, in the case of Swing Loans, the sum of the
Dollar Equivalent Swing Loans is greater than any of the limitations thereupon set forth in Section
2.1.2.2 [Swing Loans in Optional Currencies]) as a result of a change in exchange rates between one
(1) or more Optional Currencies and Dollars, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrowers of the same. Subject to Section 2.4.5 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans] if applicable
with respect to Swing
Loans, the Borrowers shall pay or prepay the Revolving Credit Loans (subject to Borrowers’
indemnity obligations contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section
5.8 [Increased Costs], Section 5.9 [Taxes] and Section 5.10 [Indemnity]) within three (3)
Business Days after receiving such notice such that the sum of the Dollar Equivalent Revolving
Facility Usage no longer exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (or, in the case of
Swing Loans, such other limitations thereupon set forth in Section 2.1.2.2 [Swing Loans in Optional
Currencies]).
5.7.6 Application of Payments.
5.7.6.1 Application Among Interest Rates and Currencies. All prepayments required
pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the
principal amount of the applicable Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Loans denominated
in Dollars and subject to a Euro-Rate Option and then to Loans of Optional Currencies subject to
the Euro-Rate Option, and the Borrowers will be subject to the indemnity obligation set forth in
Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] and Section 5.9 [Taxes]. In accordance with Section 5.10
[Indemnity], each Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss or expense, including loss of
margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans subject to a Euro-Rate
Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.
5.7.6.2 Application of Prepayments. All prepayments pursuant to this Section 5.7
shall be applied to reduce the Revolving Credit Loans (without a permanent corresponding Revolving
Credit Commitment reduction unless otherwise provided in this Agreement).
64
5.7.6.3 No Deemed Cure. The payment of any mandatory prepayment as required by this
Section 5.7 shall not be deemed to cure any Event of Default caused under another provision of
this Agreement by the same occurrence which gave rise to the mandatory prepayment obligation under
this Section 5.7.
5.8 Increased Costs.
5.8.1 Increased Costs Generally.
If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance
charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the
Euro-Rate) or the Issuing Lender;
(ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect
to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan under
the Euro-Rate Option made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the
Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section
5.9 [Taxes] and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such
Lender or the Issuing Lender); or
(iii) impose on any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Loan under the Euro-Rate Option made by
such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Loan under the Euro-Rate Option (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such
Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue
any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon
request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing
Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
5.8.2 Capital Requirements.
If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or
the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s
holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such
Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the
Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by,
such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which
such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing
Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or the
65
Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered.
5.8.3 Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New
Loans.
A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as
specified in Section 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or Section 5.8.2 [Capital Requirements]
and in reasonable detail the calculations necessary to determine such amount or amounts and
delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such
Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
5.8.4 Delay in Requests.
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s
right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred
or reductions suffered more than six(6) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing
Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
5.9 Taxes.
5.9.1 Payments Free of Taxes.
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for
any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers shall be required by
applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such
payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender, as
the case may be, receives a net payment equal to the amount it would have received had no such
deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and
withholdings and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Official Body in accordance with applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrowers’
obligations hereunder shall apply regardless of whether the Indemnified Taxes or other Taxes are an
obligation of any Borrower or of any Lender. Each Foreign Borrower undertakes to provide the
Administrative Agent, promptly upon request, with such documents as may be reasonably necessary
under any Law or treaty for the availability of any relief from the a foreign jurisdiction
withholding or other applicable tax.
Each Lender participating in any Loan to a Swiss Borrower represents and warrants as at the
date of this Agreement that it is a Qualifying Bank or, if participating in any Loan as a Permitted
Non-Qualifying Lender, that any information given by it to all Swiss Borrowers to determine whether
they would constitute one (1) person only for the purposes of the Swiss Bank Rules is accurate in
all material respects and each Lender becoming a Lender by assignment or transfer under Section
11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders] shall represent and warrant as at the
66
effective date of such
assignment or transfer that it is a Qualifying Bank by delivery of its Assignment and Assumption
Agreement or, if it is a Permitted Non-Qualifying Lender, that any information given by it to the
Swiss Borrowers to determine compliance with the Swiss Bank Rules is accurate in all material
respects.
5.9.2 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.
Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.9.1 [Payments Free of Taxes] above, the
Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Official Body in accordance with
applicable Law.
5.9.3 Indemnification by the Borrowers.
The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender,
within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section 5.9) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing
Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
5.9.4 Evidence of Payments.
As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers
to an Official Body, the Borrowers shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other
evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
5.9.5 Status of Lenders.
Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under
the Law of the jurisdiction in which each Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to
which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or
times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.
Notwithstanding the submission of a such documentation claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from
U.S. withholding tax, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal
income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so
under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the
United States Income Tax Regulations. Further, the Administrative Agent is indemnified under §
1.1461-1(e) of the United States Income Tax Regulations against any claims and demands of any
Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in
accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, any Lender, if
requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent
as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is
subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
67
If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines, in good faith and in
its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any taxes in respect of or calculated with
reference to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party
or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 5.9, it
shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made,
or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this
Section 5.9 with respect to the
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of
the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender (including any Taxes imposed with
respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing
Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid
by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such
Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, agrees
to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or the Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This
Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing
Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it
deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is resident
for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the
recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative
Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is
applicable:
(i) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for
benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,
(ii) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio
interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender
is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent
shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two (2) duly
completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN,
(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrowers to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made, or
(v) to the extent that any Lender is not a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall submit to the
Administrative Agent two (2) originals of an IRS Form W-9 or any other form prescribed by
applicable Law demonstrating that such Lender is not a Foreign Lender.
68
If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would not be subject (in whole or in part)
to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to comply with the applicable
reporting or disclosure requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and Administrative
Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the
Company or Administrative Agent, such documentation or certifications prescribed by applicable Law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation
or certifications reasonably requested by the Company or Administrative Agent as may be necessary
for the Company or Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations to withhold or report under
FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA, or to
determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from such payment.
5.9.6 Lender’s Cooperation in Tax Matters.
Promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, at the Borrowers’ expense, each of the
Lenders agrees to cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for any Loan Party
to obtain authorization to make any payments under this Agreement without any deduction or
withholding for or on account of taxes from a payment under a Loan Document. Each of the Lenders
further agrees to provide such information as any Swiss Borrower may reasonably request from time
to time to determine such Swiss Borrower’s compliance with Swiss Bank Rules.
Within thirty (30) days after request by any Lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT
Treaty Passport scheme and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement,
Invacare Limited shall file a duly completed form DTTP-2 in respect of such Lender, with HM
Revenue and Customs and shall promptly provide Lender with a copy of that filing.
5.10 Indemnity.
In addition to the compensation or payments required by
Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] or
Section 5.9 [Taxes], the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against all liabilities, losses or
expenses (including any reasonably calculated loss of any foreign exchange losses and any loss or
expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan,
from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the
performance of any foreign exchange contract) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence
of any
(i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies
on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment
or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is
then due),
(ii) attempt by the Borrowers to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or
otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.3 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests;
Swing Loan Requests] or Section 4.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under
Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments], or
(iii) default by the Borrowers in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any failure of the Borrowers to
pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, Commitment Fee or any other
amount due hereunder.
69
If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify
the Borrowers of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may
include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as
such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or
expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such
amount shall be due and payable by the Borrowers to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such
notice is given.
5.11 Settlement Date Procedures.
In order to minimize the transfer of funds between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent,
the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Loans and the Swing Loan Lenders may make Swing
Loans as provided in Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitments] hereof during the period between
Settlement Dates. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its Ratable Share of the
total of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Loans (each a “Required Share”). On such
Settlement Date, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount equal to the
difference between its Required Share and its Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent
shall pay to each Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrowers to the
Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent shall
also effect settlement in accordance with the foregoing sentence on the proposed Borrowing Dates
for Revolving Credit Loans and on any dates scheduled for mandatory prepayments hereunder, and may
at its option effect settlement on any other Business Day. These settlement procedures are
established solely as a matter of administrative convenience, and nothing contained in this Section
5.11 shall relieve the Lenders of their obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans on
dates other than a Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitment]. The
Administrative Agent may at any time at its option for any reason whatsoever require each Lender to
pay immediately to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans and each Lender may at any time require the Administrative Agent to pay
immediately to such Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrowers to the
Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.
5.12 Interbank Market Presumption.
For all purposes of this Agreement and each Note with respect to any aspects of the Euro-Rate,
any Loan under the Euro-Rate Option or any Optional Currency, each Lender and Administrative Agent
shall be presumed to have obtained rates, funding, currencies, deposits, and the like in the
Relevant Interbank Market regardless of whether it did so or not; and, each Lender’s and
Administrative Agent’s determination of amounts payable under, and actions required or authorized
by, Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], Section 5.9
[Taxes] and Section 5.10 [Indemnity] shall be
calculated, at each Lender’s and Administrative Agent’s option, as though each Lender and
Administrative Agent funded each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option through the
purchase of deposits of the types and maturities corresponding to the deposits used as a reference
in accordance with the terms hereof in determining the Euro-Rate applicable to such Loans, whether
in fact that is the case.
5.13 Judgment Currency.
5.13.1 Currency Conversion Procedures for Judgments.
If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due
hereunder or under a Note in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the
“Other Currency”), the parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate
of exchange used
70
shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, each Lender
could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency after any premium and costs of
exchange on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
5.13.2 Indemnity in Certain Events.
The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due from the Borrowers to any Lender
hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in an Other Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment
or otherwise, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by any
Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Lender may in accordance with
normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount
of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the
Original Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment or payment, to indemnify such Lender against such loss. If the amount of the Original
Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Original
Currency, such Lender agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other
Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).
5.14 Parallel Debt (Dutch Law Provisions).
5.14.1 Corresponding Obligations and relevant US Companies.
In this Section 5.14, “Corresponding Obligations” means any obligation, present or future, to
pay an amount to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any one or more of them, under the Loan
Documents (other than the Parallel Debt (as defined below)). In this Section 5.14, “US Company”
means each of Invacare Holdings LLC and Invacare International Corporation.
5.14.2 Parallel Debt.
Each US Company irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Administrative Agent
an amount equal to the aggregate amount payable by it in respect of its Corresponding Obligations
as they may exist from time to time. The payment undertaking of each US Company to the
Administrative Agent under this clause is referred to as a “Parallel Debt”. Each Parallel Debt
will be payable in the currency or currencies of the relevant Corresponding Obligations.
5.14.3 Nature of Parallel Debt.
Each Parallel Debt of an US Company:
(i) will become due and payable upon the Administrative Agent’s first demand, which may be
made at any time on or after the date on which one or more of the Corresponding Obligations of that
US Company become due and payable;
(ii) constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability of the relevant US Company to the
Administrative Agent which is separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the
Corresponding Obligations; and
(iii) represents the Administrative Agent’s own separate and independent claim to receive
payment of that Parallel Debt from the relevant US Company,
provided that the total amount which may become due under the Parallel Debt of such US
Company under this Section 5.14 will never exceed the total amount which may become due under the
Corresponding Obligations of such US Company.
71
5.14.4 Decrease of Corresponding Obligations / Parallel Debt.
(i) The total amount due by an US Company as the Parallel Debt under this Section 5.14 will be
decreased to the extent that such US Company has paid any amount to the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders or any one or more of them to reduce such US Company’s outstanding Corresponding
Obligations or the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any one or more of them otherwise
receive(s) any amount in payment of such Corresponding Obligations (other than by virtue of
subparagraph (ii) below); and
(ii) to the extent that an US Company has paid any amount to the Administrative Agent under
the Parallel Debt or the Administrative Agent has otherwise received monies in payment of such
Parallel Debt, the total amount due under the Corresponding Obligations will be decreased.
5.14.5 Creditor of the Parallel Debt.
Any security rights governed by Dutch law granted under the Loan Documents to the
Administrative Agent to secure the Parallel Debt are granted to the Administrative Agent in its
capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt and shall not be held on trust.

or result in any breach of (i) the terms and conditions of the certificate of incorporation,
bylaws, certificate of limited partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of formation,

73
6.1.6 Financial Statements.
(i) Historical Statements. The Company has delivered to the Administrative Agent a
copy of Annual Report on Form 10-K for and as of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2009. In addition, the Company has delivered to the Administrative Agent copies of its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 (all such annual
and interim statements being collectively referred to as the “Statements”). The Statements were
compiled from the books and records maintained by the Company’s management, are correct and
complete in all material respects and fairly represent the consolidated financial condition of the
Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the results of operations for
the fiscal periods then ended and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied,

(ii) Accuracy of Financial Statements. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the
Company has any material liabilities, contingent or otherwise, or forward or long-term commitments
that are not disclosed in the Statements or in the notes thereto or in other public releases or
filings, and except as disclosed therein there are no unrealized or anticipated losses from any
commitments of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company which constitutes a Material Adverse
Change. Since December 31, 2009, no Material Adverse Change has occurred.
6.1.7 Margin Stock.
None of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiaries of any Loan Party engages or intends to engage
principally, or as one of its important activities, in the
business of extending credit for the purpose, immediately, incidentally or ultimately, of
purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U, T or X as promulgated by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No part of the proceeds of any Loan has
been or will be used, immediately, incidentally or ultimately, to purchase or carry any margin
stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock or
which is inconsistent with the provisions of the regulations of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System. None of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party holds or
intends to hold margin stock in such amounts that more than 25% of the reasonable value of the
assets of any Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party are or will be represented by margin
stock.
6.1.8 Full Disclosure.
Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any certificate, statement, agreement
or other documents furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection herewith or
therewith, all as supplemented by securities Law filings, contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained
herein and therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any
material respect. There is no fact known to any Loan Party which materially adversely affects the
business, property, assets, financial condition, results of operations of any Loan Party or
Subsidiary of any Loan Party which has not been set forth in this Agreement, in securities Law
filings or in the certificates, statements, agreements or other documents furnished in writing to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to or at the date hereof in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.
74
6.1.9 Taxes.
All foreign, federal and state, and material local, provincial and other tax returns required
to have been filed with respect to each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party have been
filed, and payment or adequate provision has been made for the payment of all taxes, fees,
assessments and other governmental charges which have or may become due pursuant to said returns or
to assessments received, except (i) to the extent that such taxes, fees, assessments and other
charges are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for
which such reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required by GAAP shall
have been made or (ii) with respect to any state or local returns which have not been filed, such
reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required by GAAP shall have been
made; provided, further, the failure to file any such return does not constitute a
Material Adverse Change.
6.1.10 Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Licenses, Etc.
Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party owns or possesses all the material
patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, registrations, franchises,
permits and rights necessary to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as
presently conducted and currently planned to be conducted by such Loan Party or Subsidiary, without
known possible, alleged or actual conflict with the rights of others (except where such conflict
would not constitute a Material Adverse Change).
6.1.11 Liens in the Collateral.
The Liens in the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement (and the deposit account control
agreements to be executed in connection therewith) and the Patent, Trademark and Copyright
Security Agreement (collectively, the “Collateral Documents”) constitute and will continue to
constitute (except as expressly
provided otherwise in the Security Agreement) Prior Security Interests in the Collateral.
All filing fees and other expenses in connection with the perfection of such Liens have been or
will be paid by the Borrowers promptly after request by the Administrative Agent.
6.1.12 Insurance.
The properties of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries are insured pursuant to
policies and other bonds which provide coverage from reputable and financially sound insurers in
amounts sufficient to insure the assets and risks of each such Loan Party and Subsidiary in
accordance with past practice.
6.1.13 ERISA Compliance.
(i) Each Plan is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other
federal or state Laws, except where the failure to be in compliance would not constitute a Material
Adverse Change. Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has
received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an application for such a letter is
currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the best knowledge of Borrowers,
nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification, except where
any such loss would not constitute a Material Adverse Change. Each Borrower and each ERISA
Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and
no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section
412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan, except where any such failure would not
constitute a Material Adverse Change.
(ii) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (a) no Pension Plan has
any unfunded pension liability (i.e. excess of benefit liabilities over the
75
current value of that
Pension Plan’s assets, determined in accordance with the assumptions used for funding the Pension
Plan for the applicable plan year), except where such liability would not constitute a Material
Adverse Change; (b) neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably
expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan (other
than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA), except where such liability
would not constitute a Material Adverse Change; (c) neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate
has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with
the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Sections
4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan, except where such liability would not
constitute a Material Adverse Change; and (d) neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has
engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA, except where
such transaction would not constitute a Material Adverse Change.
6.1.14 Environmental Matters.
Each Loan Party is and, to the knowledge of each respective Loan Party, and each Subsidiary of
each Loan Party, is and has been in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws except as
disclosed on Schedule 6.1.14; provided that such matters so disclosed would not
constitute a Material Adverse Change.
6.1.15 Solvency.
The Loan Parties on a consolidated basis are Solvent. After giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents, including all Indebtedness incurred thereby, the Liens granted
by the Domestic Borrowers in connection therewith and the payment of all fees related thereto, the
Loan Parties will be Solvent, determined on a consolidated basis as of the Closing Date.
6.1.16 Fraud and Abuse.
Except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Material Adverse Change or
result in liability for the Loan Parties in excess of $15,000,000 or result in criminal liability
for any Loan Party, neither any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of any Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or Compliance Officer of the Company, any of
their officers or directors, have engaged in any activities which are prohibited under federal
Medicare and Medicaid statutes, 42 U.S.C. Section 1320a-7b or 42 U.S.C. Section 1395nn or the
regulations promulgated pursuant to such statutes or related state, local or provincial statutes or
regulations, or which are prohibited by binding rules of professional conduct, including but not
limited to the following: (a) knowingly and willfully making or causing to be made a false
statement or misrepresentation of a material fact in any applications for any benefit or payment;
(b) knowingly and willfully making or causing to be made any false statement or misrepresentation
of a material fact for use in determining rights to any benefit or payment; (c) failing to disclose
knowledge by a claimant of the occurrence of any event affecting the initial or continued right to
any benefit or payment on its own behalf or on behalf of another with the intent to secure such
benefit or payment fraudulently; (d) knowingly and willfully soliciting or receiving any
remuneration (including any kickback, bribe or rebate), directly or indirectly, overtly or
covertly, in cash or in kind, or offering to pay such remuneration (i) in return for referring an
individual to a Person for the furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of any item or service
for which payment may be made in whole or in part by Medicare, Medicaid or other applicable third
party payors, or (ii) in return for purchasing, leasing or ordering or arranging for or
recommending the purchasing, leasing or ordering of any good, facility, service, or item for which
payment may be made in whole or in part by Medicare, Medicaid or other applicable third party
payors.
76
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties are aware of, and have disclosed, the
existence of the OIG Investigation. The Loan Parties believe that the programs described in the
subpoena are in compliance with all applicable Laws, except where the failure to be in compliance
would not constitute a Material Adverse Change. The Loan Parties are cooperating fully with the
government inquiry.
6.1.17 Licensing and Accreditation.
Except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Material Adverse Change or
result in liability for the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries in excess of $15,000,000 or result
in criminal liability for any Loan Party, (a) each of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries has,
to the extent applicable: (i) obtained and maintains in good standing all required licenses; and
(ii) to the extent prudent and customary in the industry in which it is engaged, obtained and
maintains accreditation from all generally recognized accrediting agencies; and (b) all such
required licenses and accreditations are in full force and effect on the date hereof and have not
been revoked or suspended or otherwise limited.
6.1.18 Other Regulatory Protection.
Except for oxygen products, none of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries manufactures
pharmaceutical products. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.1.18, none of the Loan Parties
and none of the Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties (a) participates in Medicare or Medicaid as a
provider or supplier, rather, the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries are manufacturers and sell to
providers for purposes of Medicare, Medicaid and any other Medical Reimbursement Program, (b) is a
party to any Medicare Provider Agreement or Medicaid Provider Agreement, or (c) bills for items or
services to any Medical Reimbursement Program. Each of the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries is in
compliance with all applicable rules, regulations and other requirements of the Food and Drug
Administration (“FDA”), the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (“OSHA”), the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the United States Customs
Service and the United States Postal Service and other state or federal regulatory authorities or
jurisdictions in which such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries do business or distribute and
market products, except to the extent that any such noncompliance, individually or in the
aggregate, does not constitute a Material Adverse Change. Neither the FDA, the FTC, OSHA, the
Consumer Product Safety Commission, nor any other such regulatory authority has requested (or, to
the knowledge of any Authorized Officer, are considering requesting) any product recalls or other
enforcement actions that (a) if complied with, individually or in the aggregate, could constitute a
Material Adverse Change or (b) with which the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries have not complied
within the time period allowed.
6.1.19 Compliance with the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule.
Subject to the Lenders complying with their representations under Section 5.9.1 [Payments Free
of Taxes] and the requirement of Section 5.9.6 [Lender’s Cooperation in Tax Matters], each Swiss
Borrower is in compliance with the Twenty Non-Bank Rule (taking into account in particular the
ordinance of the Swiss Federal Council of June 18, 2010 amending the Swiss Federal Ordinance on
withholding tax and the Swiss Federal Ordinance on stamp duties with effect as of August 1, 2010).
Each Swiss Borrower, in determining compliance with Swiss Bank Rules, may assume that up to ten
(10) of the Lenders under this Agreement are not Qualifying Banks if it cannot determine the exact
number thereof.
6.2 Updates to Schedules.
Should any of the information or disclosures provided on any of the Schedules attached hereto
pursuant to this Section 6 become outdated or incorrect in any material respect, the Borrowers
shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent in writing
77
with such revisions or updates to such
Schedule as may be necessary or appropriate to update or correct same. No Schedule shall be
deemed to have been amended, modified or superseded by any such correction or update, nor shall any
breach of warranty or representation resulting from the inaccuracy or incompleteness of any such
Schedule be deemed to have been cured thereby, unless and until the Required Lenders, in their sole
and absolute discretion, shall have accepted in writing such revisions or updates to such Schedule;
provided, however, that the Borrowers may update Schedules 6.1.1,
6.1.2 and 6.1.14 without any Lender approval in connection with any transaction
permitted under Section 8.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions], Section
8.2.7 [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries] and Section 8.2.9 [Subsidiaries, Partnerships and
Joint Ventures].

The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, covenant and agree that until Payment In Full, the
Loan Parties shall comply at all times with the following covenants:
8.1 Affirmative Covenants.
8.1.1 Preservation of Existence, Etc.
Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain its legal
existence as a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company and its license or
qualification and good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or
the nature of its business makes such license or qualification necessary, except (i) where the
failure to so maintain would not constitute a Material Adverse Change and (ii) as otherwise
expressly permitted in Section 8.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Etc.] or Section 8.2.7(xii)
[Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries].
8.1.2 Payment of Liabilities, Including Taxes, Etc.
Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge all
liabilities to which it is subject or which are asserted against it, promptly as and when the same
shall become due and payable, including all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges
upon it or any of its properties, assets, income or profits, prior to the date on which penalties
attach thereto, except to the extent that such liabilities, including taxes, assessments or
charges, are being contested in good faith and by appropriate and lawful proceedings diligently
conducted and for which such reserve or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required
by GAAP shall have been made but only to the extent that failure to discharge any such liabilities
would not result in a Material Adverse Change; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries will pay all liabilities forthwith upon the commencement of
proceedings to foreclose any Lien which may have attached as security therefor.
8.1.3 Maintenance of Insurance.
Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, insure its properties and
assets against loss or damage by fire and such other insurable hazards as such assets are commonly
insured (including fire, extended coverage, property damage, workers’ compensation, public
liability and business interruption insurance) and against other risks (including errors and
omissions) in such amounts as similar properties and assets are insured by prudent companies in
similar circumstances carrying on similar businesses, and with reputable and financially sound
insurers, including self-insurance to the extent customary. The Loan Parties shall comply with the
covenants and provide the endorsement set forth on Schedule 8.1.3 relating to property and
related insurance policies covering the Collateral.
8.1.4 Maintenance of Properties and Leases.
Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in good repair,
working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted) in accordance with the
past practice of the Company, all of those properties useful or necessary to its business, and from
time to time, such Loan Party will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals or
replacements thereof.
8.1.5 Visitation Rights.
Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any of the officers
or authorized employees or representatives of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to
visit and inspect any of its properties and to
81
examine and make excerpts from its books and records and discuss its business affairs,
finances and accounts with its officers, all in such detail and at such times and as often as any
of the Lenders may reasonably request, provided, so long as no Event of Default exists,
such visits and inspections shall be limited to no more frequently than twice per calendar year
and; provided, further, that each Lender shall provide the Company and the
Administrative Agent with reasonable notice prior to any visit or inspection. In the event any
Lender desires to conduct an audit of any Loan Party, such Lender shall make a reasonable effort to
conduct such audit contemporaneously with any audit to be performed by the Administrative Agent.
8.1.6 Keeping of Records and Books of Account.
The Loan Parties shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary of the Loan Parties to, maintain and
keep proper books of record and account which enable the Company and its Subsidiaries to issue
financial statements in accordance with GAAP and as otherwise required by applicable Laws of any
Official Body having jurisdiction over the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and in which
full, true and correct entries shall be made in all material respects of all its dealings and
business and financial affairs.
8.1.7 Compliance with Laws; Use of Proceeds.
Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable
Laws, including all Environmental Laws, in all respects; provided that it shall not be
deemed to be a violation of this Section 8.1.7 if any failure to comply with any Law would not
result in fines, penalties, remediation costs, other similar liabilities or injunctive relief which
in the aggregate would constitute a Material Adverse Change. The Loan Parties will use the Letters
of Credit and the proceeds of the Loans only in accordance with
Section 2.7.2 [Use of Proceeds]
and as permitted by applicable Law.
8.1.8 Further Assurances.
Each Loan Party shall, from time to time, at its expense, faithfully preserve and protect the
Administrative Agent’s Lien on and (except as expressly provided otherwise in the Security
Agreement) Prior Security Interest in the Collateral whether now owned or hereafter, and shall do
such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may deem necessary or
advisable from time to time in order to preserve, perfect and protect the Liens granted under the
Loan Documents and to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies thereunder with respect to the Collateral.
8.1.9 Anti-Terrorism Laws.
None of the Loan Parties is or shall be (i) a Person with whom any Lender is
restricted from doing business under Executive Order No. 13224 or any other Anti-Terrorism Law,
(ii) engaged in any business involved in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or
services to or for the benefit of such a Person or in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has
the purpose of evading or avoiding, the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law, or (iii)
otherwise in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law. The Loan Parties shall provide to the Lenders
any certifications or information that a Lender requests to confirm compliance by the Loan Parties
with Anti-Terrorism Laws. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be
agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to
ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on
behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from
the Loan Parties or any such authorized signatory in doing so.
82
The Loan Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and
Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist
financing, government sanction and “know your client” Laws, whether within Canada or elsewhere
(collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders and
the Administrative Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the
Loan Parties, their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect
shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties, and the transactions contemplated
hereby. The Loan Parties shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting
documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent, or any prospective assign or participant of a Lender or the Administrative
Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in
existence. If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of the Loan Parties or any
authorized signatories of the Loan Parties for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the
Administrative Agent: (a) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this
Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the
Administrative Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and (b) shall provide to
each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or
warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.
8.1.10 Material Contracts.
Each of the Loan Parties shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, perform and
observe all of the terms and provisions of each Material Contract (including, without limitation,
each Medicare Provider Agreement, Medicaid Provider Contract and other contract and agreement
relating to Medical Reimbursement Programs) to be performed or observed by it, maintain each such
Material Contract in full force and effect, and enforce each such Material Contract in accordance
with its terms, in each case unless (a) the applicable Loan Party or Subsidiary determines in the
exercise of its good faith judgment that any such action is not in the best business interests of
such Loan Party or Subsidiary or (b) the failure of such Loan Party or Subsidiary to take any such
action would not constitute a Material Adverse Change.
8.1.11 Designation as Senior Debt.
Each of the Loan Parties shall cause the Obligations to be designated as “Designated Senior
Indebtedness” under, and as defined in, the governing documents with respect to the 2027
Convertible Notes (as in effect from time to time).
8.1.12 Compliance with the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rules.
Each Swiss Borrower shall ensure at any time that it is in compliance with the Swiss Twenty
Non-Bank Rules (taking into account in particular the ordinance of the Swiss Federal Council of
June 18, 2010 amending the Swiss Federal Ordinance on withholding tax and the Swiss Federal
Ordinance on stamp duties with effect as of August 1, 2010), provided that a Swiss Borrower shall
not be in breach of this Section 8.1.12 if its number of creditors in respect of the Swiss Twenty
Non-Bank Rule is exceeded solely by reason of a failure by one or more of the Lenders to comply
with their obligations under Section 5.9.1 [Payments Free of Taxes], Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by
Lenders] or Section 5.9.6 [Lender’s Cooperation in Tax Matters]. Each Swiss Borrower, in
determining compliance with Swiss Bank Rules, may assume that up to ten (10) of the Lenders under
this Agreement are not Qualifying Banks if it cannot determine the exact number thereof.
83

unutilized thereunder and the direct or any contingent obligor with respect thereto is not changed
as a result of or in connection with such refinancing, refunding, renewal or extension;
provided further, that the terms relating to principal amount, amortization,
maturity, collateral (if any) and subordination (if any), and other material terms taken as a
whole, of any such refinancing, refunding, renewing or extending Indebtedness, and of any agreement
entered into and of any instrument issued in connection therewith, are no less favorable in any
material respect to the Loan Parties or the Lenders than the terms of any agreement or instrument
governing the Indebtedness being refinanced, refunded, renewed or extended and the interest rate
applicable to any such refinancing, refunding, renewing or extending Indebtedness does not exceed
the then applicable market interest rate;

of business;

continuing, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be under no further obligation to make
Loans and the Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue Letters of Credit and the
Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, and shall, upon the request of
the Required Lenders, (i) by written notice to the Borrowers, declare the unpaid principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding and all interest accrued thereon, any unpaid fees and all other
Indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to be forthwith due and
payable, and the same shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Lender without presentment, demand, protest or any
other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and (ii) require the Borrowers
to, and the Borrowers shall thereupon, deposit in a non-interest-bearing account with the
Administrative Agent, as cash collateral for its Obligations under the Loan Documents, an amount
equal to the maximum amount currently or at any time thereafter available to be drawn on all
outstanding Letters of Credit, and each Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, and grants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a security interest in, all such
cash as security for such Obligations; and

If an Event of Default specified under Section 9.1.12 [Relief Proceedings] shall occur, the

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Lender,
and each of their respective Affiliates of such Lender or Affiliate which has agreed in writing to
be bound by the provisions of Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] is hereby authorized at
any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever
currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such
Lender, the Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan
Party against any and all of the Obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or Affiliate,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations of such Borrower or
Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the
Issuing Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such
Indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that
such Lender, the Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the
Issuing Lender agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such
setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application; and
9.2.4 Certain Other Matters.
In no event shall the Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender,
direct the Administrative Agent to accelerate and demand payment of the Loans held by one Lender
without accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans or to terminate the Commitments of
one or more Lenders without terminating the Commitments of all Lenders. Each Lender agrees that,
except as otherwise provided in any of the Loan Documents and without the prior written consent of
the Required Lenders, it will not take any legal action or institute any action or proceeding
against any Loan Party with respect to any of the Obligations or Collateral, or accelerate or
otherwise enforce its portion of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, none of Lenders may exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law
to credit bid at foreclosure sales, uniform commercial code sales or other similar sales or
dispositions of any of the Collateral except as authorized by the Required Lenders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 9.2.4 or elsewhere in this
Agreement, each Lender shall be authorized to take such action to preserve or enforce its rights
against any Loan Party where a deadline or limitation period is otherwise applicable and would,
absent the taking of specified action, bar the enforcement of Obligations held by such Lender
against such Loan Party, including the filing of proofs of claim in any Relief Proceeding.
9.2.5 Application of Proceeds.
From and after the date on which the Administrative Agent has taken any action pursuant to
this Section 9.2 and until all Obligations of the Loan Parties have been paid in full, any and all
proceeds received by the Administrative
97
Agent from any sale or other disposition of the Collateral,
or any part thereof, or the exercise of any other remedy by the Administrative Agent, shall be
applied as follows:
(i) first, to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for out-of-pocket costs,
expenses and disbursements, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and legal
expenses, incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with realizing on the
Collateral or collection of any Obligations of any of the Loan Parties under any of the Loan
Documents, including advances made by the Lenders or any one of them or the Administrative Agent
for the reasonable maintenance, preservation, protection or enforcement of, or realization upon,
the Collateral, including advances for taxes, insurance, repairs and the like and reasonable
expenses incurred to sell or otherwise realize on, or prepare for sale or other realization on, any
of the Collateral;
(ii) second, to the repayment of all Obligations then due and unpaid of the Loan Parties to
the Lenders or their Affiliates incurred under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
agreements evidencing any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or Other Lender Provided
Financial Services Obligations, whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise and to
cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the
respective amounts payable to them with respect to such Obligations; and
(iii) the balance, if any, as required by Law.
10. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
10.1 Appointment and Authority.
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints PNC to act on its
behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions
and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of
this Section 10 are solely for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, and neither any
Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such
provisions.
10.2 Rights as a Lender.
The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated
or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally
engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if
such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to
the Lenders.
10.3 Exculpatory Provisions.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent:
98
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or
by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed
in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion
of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan
Document or applicable Law; and
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to
the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or
Waivers] and Section 9.2 [Consequences of Event of Default]) or (ii) in the absence of its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such
Potential Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties, a
Lender or the Issuing Lender.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 7 [Conditions
of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated
by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally
or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the
making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the
99
Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the
Issuing Lender prior to the
making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult
with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other
experts selected by
it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
10.5 Delegation of Duties.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform
any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the
Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their
respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for
herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the
Issuing Lender and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Borrowers (so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the
Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that if
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has
accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any
of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral
security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent
shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section
10.6. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if
not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the
Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of
this Section 10 and Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] shall continue in effect for
the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
100
taken by any of them while the retiring
Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
If PNC resigns as Administrative Agent under this Section 10.6, PNC shall also resign as an
Issuing Lender. Upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor
shall (i) succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of PNC as the
retiring Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent and PNC shall be discharged from all of its
respective duties and obligations as Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents, and (ii) issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by
PNC, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to
PNC to effectively assume the obligations of PNC with respect to such Letters of Credit.
10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
Each Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis
and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender
or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time
to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under
or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.
10.8 No Other Duties, etc.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Co-Syndication Agents, Joint Lead
Arrangers or Joint Bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity,
as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder.
10.9 Administrative Agent’s Fee.
The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent a nonrefundable fee (the “Administrative
Agent’s Fee”) under the terms of a letter (the “Administrative Agent’s Letter”) between the
Borrowers and Administrative Agent, as amended from time to time.

The Lenders and Issuing Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to release (i) any
Collateral consisting of assets or Equity Interests sold or otherwise disposed of in a sale or
other disposition or transfer permitted under Section 8.2.7 [Disposition of Assets or
Subsidiaries] or 8.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions], and (ii) any

Assets or Subsidiaries] or Section 8.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions].

of the Required Lenders, to credit bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more
acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the
provisions of the Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 or Title 11 of the United
States Code, as in effect from time to time (the “Bankruptcy Code”), at any sale thereof
101

applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law (whether domestic or
foreign) now or hereafter in effect, or at any sale or foreclosure conducted by the Administrative
Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law.
10.11 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program.
Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates,
participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s,
Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations
required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder,
including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP

into written agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the rights of the Lenders or the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder, or may grant
written waivers or consents hereunder or thereunder. Any such agreement, waiver or consent made

thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a

Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such
Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense
or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred
by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Lender in
its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity.

arising out of, in
104
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in
Section 11.3.2 [Indemnification by Borrowers] shall be liable for any damages arising from the use

unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any
other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

11.8.1 Successors and Assigns Generally.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither
any Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or

expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
Section 11.8.4 [Participations] and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
106
11.8.2 Assignments by Lenders.
Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following
conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an
assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need
be assigned, except as set forth in Section 11.8.8 [Netherlands Bank Rules]; and
(B) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 11.8.2, the aggregate amount of
the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable
Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade
Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be
less than $10,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitment
of the assigning Lender, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of
a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with
respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except for
the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and:
(A) the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such
assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
provided that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless
they have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business
Days after having received notice thereof; and
(B) the consent of the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to
participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).
(iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together
with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire provided by the Administrative
Agent.
107
(v) No Assignment to Borrowers. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrowers or
any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries.
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural
person.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.8.3
[Register], from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate
Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not
Available], Section 5.8 [Increased
Costs], and Section 11.3 [Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer
by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section
11.8.2 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation
in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.8.4 [Participations].
11.8.3 Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall
maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. Such
register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.
11.8.4 Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the
Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to
108
Section 11.1.1
[Increase of Commitment, Etc.], Section 11.1.2 [Extension of Payment, Etc.], or Section 11.1.3
[Release of Collateral or Guarantor]). Subject to Section 11.8.5 [Limitations upon Participant
Rights Successors and Assigns Generally], each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs;
Deposits Not Available] and Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by
Lenders].
11.8.5 Limitations upon Participant Rights Successors and Assigns Generally.
A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.8
[Increased Costs], Section 5.9 [Taxes] or Section 11.3 [ Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] than
the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to
such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender
shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9 [Taxes] unless the Borrowers are notified of
the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrowers, to comply with Section 5.9.5 [Status of Lenders] as though it were a Lender.
11.8.6 Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally.
Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
11.8.7 Disapplication or Amendment of the Swiss Bank Rules.
If the Non-Bank Rules are disapplied or amended in any material respect from their form as of
the date hereof, the Swiss Borrowers or the Administrative Agent may (and the Administrative Agent
shall, at the request of the Lenders) request in writing to the Administrative Agent or the Swiss
Borrowers, respectively, that this Agreement be amended to reflect such change. Thereafter, the
Swiss Borrowers and the Lenders shall enter into discussions with a view to agreeing on any
amendments required to be made to this Agreement to place the Swiss Borrowers and the Lenders in
substantially the same position (or otherwise in a position acceptable to the Swiss Borrower and
the Lenders) from a Swiss withholding Tax viewpoint as they would have been in if the change
notified under this Section 11.8.7 had not happened. Any agreement between the Swiss Borrowers and
the Administrative Agent will be, with the prior consent of the Lenders, binding on all the parties
hereto; if no agreement is reached under this Section 11.8.7, this Agreement shall continue in
effect in accordance with its terms.
11.8.8 Netherlands Bank Rules.
The share of each new Lender located in or organized under the laws of the Netherlands and the
share of each new Lender hereunder in the Loans to a Netherlands Borrower (or its portion in the
rights and obligations relating to such Loans transferred by an existing Lender) shall initially be
at least the Dollar Equivalent of EUR 50,000 or such new Lender shall otherwise qualify as a
Professional Market Party, and each such new Lender shall confirm the foregoing on the date on
which it becomes a Lender hereunder by execution and delivery of its
109
Assignment and Assumption
Agreement in which the new Lender confirms that it is a Professional Market Party.
11.9 Confidentiality.
11.9.1 General.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates

Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by

containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (vii) with the consent of
the Borrowers or (viii) to the extent such Information (Y) becomes publicly available other than as
a result of a breach of this Section or (Z) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender, the Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a
source other than the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties.
11.9.2 Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Lenders.
Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and
other services may be offered or provided to the Borrowers or one or more of their Affiliates (in
connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or

information delivered to such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this
Agreement to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate subject to the

Agreement.

Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders].
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely in such matters on all communications delivered
by the Company as being delivered on behalf of all Borrowers.
11.14 Foreign Borrowers and Foreign Guarantors.
11.14.1 Generally.
Without limiting the joint and several nature of all Domestic Borrowers’ Obligations, the
Obligations of the Foreign Borrowers shall be several in nature, and the Obligations of the Foreign
Guarantors shall be limited if and to the extent expressly set forth in the Guaranty Agreement.
11.14.2 Liability of Foreign Borrowers.
The parties intend that this Agreement shall in all circumstances be interpreted to provide
that each Foreign Borrower is liable only for Loans made to such Foreign Borrower, interest on such
Loans, such Foreign Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit
issued for its account and its ratable share of any of the other Obligations, including, without
limitation, general fees, reimbursements, indemnities and charges hereunder and under any other
Loan Document that are attributable, or attributed as a ratable share, to it. The liability of
each Foreign Borrower for the
112
payment of any of the Obligations or the performance of its
covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be several from but not joint with the Obligations of the Company and each other Loan Party.
Nothing in this Section 11.14 is intended to limit, nor shall it be deemed to limit, any of the
liability of the Company or any Domestic Loan Party for any of the Obligations, whether in its
primary capacity as a Borrower, as a Guarantor, at law or otherwise.

Each Foreign Borrower, in addition to the appointment of the Company as the Borrowers’ agent
as provided in Section 11.13 [Borrower Agent], further hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as

hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely in such matters on all communications
delivered by the Company as being delivered on behalf of the Foreign Borrowers.
11.15 Joinder of Guarantors and Borrowers; Release of Foreign Borrowers and Foreign
Guarantors.
11.15.1 Joinder of Guarantors and Borrowers.
Any Subsidiary of the Company which is required to join this Agreement as a Guarantor, or any
Subsidiary of the Company which elects to join this Agreement as a Borrower, pursuant in each case
to Section 8.2.9 [Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint Ventures], shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent (i) a Guarantor Joinder or Borrower Joinder, as applicable, pursuant to which
it shall, after acceptance of such Guarantor Joinder or Borrower Joinder by the Administrative
Agent, join this Agreement as a Domestic Loan Party or Foreign Loan Party, as applicable, and join
each of the other Loan Documents to which the Domestic Loan Parties or Foreign Loan Parties, as
applicable, are parties, (ii) documents in the forms described in Section 7.1 [First Loans and
Letters of Credit] (or foreign jurisdictional equivalents, if any), modified as appropriate to
relate to such Subsidiary, and (iii) in the case of a new Domestic Loan Party, documents necessary
to grant and perfect Prior Security Interests in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Lenders in the Equity Interest of, and Collateral held by, such Subsidiary. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Foreign Borrower may be joined pursuant to this
Section 11.15.1 if its inclusion
as a Borrower under the Loan Documents would result in any adverse tax or other legal consequences
for the Lenders, as determined by the Administrative Agent. Joinder of each new Loan Party
pursuant to this Section 11.15.1 shall be subject to compliance with all the other terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation
Section 8.1.7 [Compliance with Laws; Use of Proceeds]
and Section 5.9 [Taxes].
11.15.2 Release of Foreign Borrowers and Foreign Guarantors.
Any Foreign Borrower may from time to time deliver a termination notice to the Administrative
Agent requesting that it no longer be a party hereto. Such termination shall be effective five (5)
Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent so long as all Obligations of such Foreign
Borrower have been paid in full (including principal, interest and all other amounts) and no Letter
of Credit issued for the account or benefit of such Foreign Borrower is outstanding;
provided that, to the extent this Agreement or any other Loan Document provides for the
survival of certain provisions upon termination hereof, such surviving provisions shall survive a
termination under this subsection with respect to any such Foreign Borrower. Following receipt of
such notice, no further Loans may be borrowed by such Foreign Borrower hereunder, unless such
Foreign Borrower shall thereafter rejoin this Agreement as a Borrower pursuant to the
113
joinder
provisions of Section 11.15.1 [Joinder of Guarantors and Borrowers]. If the release of a Foreign
Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.15.2 results in no Obligations which are, or could be,
guarantied by a Foreign Guarantor under the Guaranty Agreement, then such Foreign Guarantor may
also deliver a termination notice to the Administrative Agent requesting that it no longer be a
party hereto, which termination shall be effective five (5) Business Days after receipt by the
Administrative Agent so long as all Obligations of such Foreign Guarantor have been paid in full
(including principal, interest and all other amounts) and no Letter of Credit issued for the
account or benefit of such Foreign Guarantor is outstanding; provided that, to the
extent this Agreement or any other Loan Document provides for the survival of certain provisions
upon termination hereof, such surviving provisions shall survive a termination under this
subsection with respect to any such Foreign Guarantor.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO THE COLLATERAL
COVENANTS:
At the request of the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders (x) on the Closing Date and annually thereafter an original
certificate of insurance signed by the Loan Parties’ independent insurance broker describing and
certifying as to the existence of the insurance on the Collateral required to be maintained by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with a copy of the endorsement described in the
next sentence attached to such certificate, and (y) from time to time a summary schedule indicating
all insurance then in force with respect to each of the Loan Parties. Such policies of insurance
shall contain special endorsements which include the provisions set forth below or are otherwise in
form acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its discretion. The applicable Loan Parties shall
notify the Administrative Agent promptly of any occurrence causing a material loss or decline in
value of the Collateral and the estimated (or actual, if available) amount of such loss or decline.
Any monies received by the Administrative Agent constituting insurance proceeds may, at the option
of the Administrative Agent, (i) in the case of property insurance proceeds received during the
existence of an Event of Default, be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of the
Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, (ii) for losses of less than
$15,000,000 received at such time as no Event of Default exists, be disbursed by the Administrative
Agent to the applicable Loan Parties, and (iii) for losses equal to or greater than $15,000,000
received at such time as no Event of Default exists, be disbursed by the Administrative Agent to
the applicable Loan Parties on such terms as are deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for
the repair, restoration and/or replacement of Collateral and other property in respect of which
such proceeds were received.
ENDORSEMENT:
(i) specify the Administrative Agent as an additional insured, mortgagee and lender loss payee as
its interests may appear (as applicable),
(ii) with respect to all property insurance policies, provide that the interest of the Lenders
shall be insured regardless of any breach or violation by the applicable Loan Parties of any
warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policies or any action or inaction of the
applicable Loan Parties or others insured under such policies, except that the insurer shall not be
obligated to maintain the insurance if the breach consists of non-payment of premiums which
continues for 30 days after written notice to Administrative Agent,
(iii) provide a waiver of any right of the insurers to set off or counterclaim or any other
deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise,
(iv) provide that any and all rights of subrogation which the insurers may have or acquire against
the Loan Parties shall be, at all times and in all respects, junior and subordinate to the prior
Payment In Full of the Indebtedness hereunder and that no insurer shall exercise or assert any
right of subrogation until such time as the Indebtedness hereunder has been paid in full and the
Commitments have terminated,
(v) provide that no cancellation of such policies for any reason (including non-payment of premium)
nor any change therein shall be effective until at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the
Administrative Agent of written notice of such cancellation or change,
(vi) be primary without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of any
additional insureds with respect to their respective interests in the Collateral, and
(vii) provide that inasmuch as the policy covers more than one insured, all terms, conditions,
insuring agreements and endorsements (except limits of liability) shall operate as if there were a
separate policy covering each insured.

CONTINUING AGREEMENT OF GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP
THIS CONTINUING AGREEMENT OF GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP (this “Guaranty”), dated as of this
______ day of October __, 2010, is jointly and severally (subject to Sections 15 and 17(b)-(f), if
applicable) given by EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED AND EACH OF THE OTHER PERSONS WHICH BECOME GUARANTORS
HEREUNDER FROM TIME TO TIME (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”) in favor of PNC
BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent for itself and the other Lenders under the
Credit Agreement described below (the “Administrative Agent”), in connection with that certain
Credit Agreement, dated as of October __, 2010 (as amended, restated, modified, or supplemented
from time to time hereafter, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among INVACARE CORPORATION, an Ohio
corporation, and the other Borrowers now or hereafter party thereto, the Guarantors now or
hereafter party thereto the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders now or hereafter party thereto
(the “Lenders”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
ascribed to them by the Credit Agreement and the rules of construction set forth in Section 1.2
[Construction] of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Guaranty.
1. Guarantied Obligations. To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to
make loans and grant other financial accommodations to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement,
each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally (subject to Sections 15 and 17(b)-(f), if applicable)
unconditionally, and irrevocably, guaranties to the Administrative Agent, each Lender and any
provider of a Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any provider of an Other Lender
Provided Financial Service Product; and becomes surety, as though it was a primary obligor for, the
full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether on demand, at stated maturity, by
acceleration, or otherwise and including any amounts which would become due but for the operation
of an automatic stay under the federal bankruptcy code of the United States or any similar Laws of
any country or jurisdiction) of all Obligations, including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, all obligations, liabilities, and indebtedness from time to time of the Borrowers (or,
in the case of Invacare Corporation, of the other Borrowers) or any other Guarantor (subject to
Sections 15 and 17(b)-(f), if applicable) to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders or any
Affiliate of any Lender under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document, whether for principal, interest, fees, indemnities, expenses, or otherwise, and all
renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings or refundings thereof, whether such obligations,
liabilities, or indebtedness are direct or indirect, secured or unsecured, joint or several,
absolute or contingent, due or to become due, whether for payment or performance, now existing or
hereafter arising (and including obligations, liabilities, and indebtedness arising or accruing
after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding with
respect to the Borrowers or any Guarantor or which would have arisen or accrued but for the
commencement of such proceeding, even if the claim for such obligation, liability, or indebtedness
is not enforceable or allowable in such proceeding, and including all Obligations and liabilities
arising from any extensions of credit under or in connection with any Loan Document from time to
time, regardless of whether any such extensions of credit are in excess of the amount committed
under or contemplated by the Loan Documents or are made in circumstances in which any condition to
extension of credit is not satisfied) (all of the foregoing obligations, liabilities and
indebtedness are referred to herein collectively as the “Guarantied Obligations” and each as a
“Guarantied Obligation”). Without limitation of the foregoing, any of the Guarantied Obligations
shall be and remain Guarantied Obligations and the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be
entitled to the benefit of this Guaranty with respect thereto if the Administrative Agent or any of
the Lenders (or any one or more assignees or transferees thereof) from time to time assign or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of their respective rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents, or any other Guarantied Obligations, to any other Person. In furtherance of the
foregoing, each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees as follows.
2. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby promises to pay and perform all such Guarantied
Obligations immediately upon demand of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any one or more
of them. All payments made hereunder shall be made by each Guarantor in immediately available
funds in U.S. Dollars and shall be made without setoff, counterclaim, withholding, or other
deduction of any nature.
3. Obligations Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the obligations of the
Guarantors hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise diminished by the failure,
default, omission, or delay, willful or otherwise, by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, or any
Borrower or any other obligor on any of the Guarantied Obligations, or by any other act or thing or
omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent
vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a
matter of law or equity. Each of the Guarantors agrees that the Guarantied Obligations will be
paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. To the fullest
extent permitted by Law, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby
consents to, at any time and from time to time, and, subject to Sections 15 and 17(b)-(f), if
applicable, the joint and several obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be diminished,
terminated, or otherwise similarly affected by any of the following:
(a) Any lack of genuineness, legality, validity, enforceability or allowability (in a
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or otherwise), or any avoidance or
subordination, in whole or in part, of any Loan Document or any of the Guarantied Obligations and
regardless of any Law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting
any of the Guarantied Obligations, any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any rights of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any other Person with respect thereto;
(b) Any increase, decrease, or change in the amount, nature, type or purpose of any of, or any
release, surrender, exchange, compromise or settlement of any of the Guarantied Obligations
(whether or not contemplated by the Loan Documents as presently constituted); any change in the
time, manner, method, or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, any of the
Guarantied Obligations; any execution or delivery of any additional Loan Documents; or any
amendment, modification or supplement to, or renewals, extensions, refinancing or refunding of, any
Loan Document or any of the Guarantied Obligations;
(c) Any failure to assert any breach of or default under any Loan Document or any of the
Guarantied Obligations; any extensions of credit in excess of the amount committed under or
contemplated by the Loan Documents, or in circumstances in which any condition to such
10
extensions of credit has not been satisfied; any other exercise or non-exercise, or any other
failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action in connection with any exercise or
non-exercise, of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or any other Person under or in
connection with any Loan Document or any of the Guarantied Obligations; any refusal of payment or
performance of any of the Guarantied Obligations, whether or not with any reservation of rights
against any Guarantor; or any application of collections (including but not limited to collections
resulting from realization upon any direct or indirect security for the Guarantied Obligations) to
other obligations, if any, not entitled to the benefits of this Guaranty, in preference to
Guarantied Obligations entitled to the benefits of this Guaranty, or if any collections are applied
to Guarantied Obligations, any application to particular Guarantied Obligations;
(d) Any taking, exchange, amendment, modification, waiver, supplement, termination,
subordination, compromise, release, surrender, loss, or impairment of, or any failure to protect,
perfect, or preserve the value of, or any enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights,
or remedies under or in connection with, or any failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or
wrongful action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, or any other Person in
connection with the enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in
connection with, or, any other action or inaction by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or
any of them, or any other Person in respect of, any direct or indirect security for any of the
Guarantied Obligations. As used in this Guaranty, “direct or indirect security” for the Guarantied
Obligations, and similar phrases, includes any collateral security, guaranty, suretyship, letter of
credit, capital maintenance agreement, put option, subordination agreement, or other right or
arrangement of any nature providing direct or indirect assurance of payment or performance of any
of the Guarantied Obligations, made by or on behalf of any Person;
(e) Any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, charter revocation, or
forfeiture, or other change in, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or
existence of, the Borrowers or any other Person; any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
similar proceeding with respect to the Borrowers or any other Person; or any action taken or
election made by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them (including but not limited
to any election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code), the Borrower, or
any other Person in connection with any such proceeding;
(f) Any defense, setoff, or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted
by the Borrowers or any other person with respect to any Loan Document or any of the Guarantied
Obligations; or any discharge by operation of law or release of the Borrowers or any other Person
from the performance or observance of any Loan Document or any of the Guarantied Obligations; or
(g) Any other event or circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, and
whether known or unknown, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or limit the
liability of, any Guarantor, a guarantor or a surety, excepting only full, strict, and indefeasible
payment and performance of the Guarantied Obligations in full.
11
Each Guarantor acknowledges, consents, and agrees that new Guarantors may join in this
Guaranty pursuant to Section 8.2.9 [Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint Ventures] of the Credit
Agreement and each Guarantor affirms that its obligations shall continue hereunder undiminished.
4. Waivers, etc. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by Law, any defense to or limitation on its obligations under this Guaranty arising out of or based
on any event or circumstance referred to in Section 3 hereof. Without limitation and to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor waives each of the following:
(a) All notices, disclosures and demand of any nature which otherwise might be required from
time to time to preserve intact any rights against any Guarantor, including the following: any
notice of any event or circumstance described in Section 3 hereof; any notice required by any Law,
regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction; any notice of nonpayment,
nonperformance, dishonor, or protest under any Loan Document or any of the Guarantied Obligations;
any notice of the incurrence of any Guarantied Obligation; any notice of any default or any failure
on the part of the Borrowers or any other Person to comply with any Loan Document or any of the
Guarantied Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Guarantied Obligations;
and any notice of any information pertaining to the business, operations, condition (financial or
otherwise) or prospects of the Borrowers or any other Person;
(b) Any right to any marshalling of assets, to the filing of any claim against the Borrowers
or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar
proceeding, or to the exercise against the Borrowers or any other Person of any other right or
remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Guarantied Obligations or any
direct or indirect security for any of the Guarantied Obligations; any requirement of promptness or
diligence on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, or any other
Person; any requirement to exhaust any remedies under or in connection with, or to mitigate the
damages resulting from default under, any Loan Document or any of the Guarantied Obligations or any
direct or indirect security for any of the Guarantied Obligations; any benefit of any statute of
limitations; and any requirement of acceptance of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, and any

inaction by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them (including but not limited to
commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or nonjudicial sale or other action in
respect of collateral security for any of the Guarantied Obligations), which results in denial or
impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, to seek a
deficiency against the Borrowers or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs any
of the Guarantied Obligations; and
(d) Any and all defenses it may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship,
impairment of collateral, or the like.
12
5. Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing obligation of the Guarantors and shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that no Guarantied Obligations may be outstanding
from time to time and notwithstanding any other event or circumstance. Upon termination of all
Commitments, the expiration of all Letters of Credit and indefeasible payment in full of all
Guarantied Obligations, this Guaranty shall terminate; provided, however, that this Guaranty shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, any time any payment of any of the
Guarantied Obligations is rescinded, recouped, avoided, or must otherwise be returned or released
by any Lender or Administrative Agent upon or during the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization
of, or any similar proceeding affecting, the Borrowers or for any other reason whatsoever, all as
though such payment had not been made and was due and owing.
6. Subrogation. Each Guarantor waives, and agrees it will not exercise, any rights
against Borrowers or any other Guarantor arising in connection with, or any Collateral securing,
the Guarantied Obligations (including rights of subrogation, contribution, and the like) until the
Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, and all Commitments have been
terminated and all Letters of Credit have expired, after which occurrences such Guarantor’s waiver
set forth herein of its subrogation rights shall be void. If any amount shall be paid to any
Guarantor by or on behalf of the Borrowers or any other Guarantor by virtue of any right of
subrogation, contribution, or the like, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such
Guarantor for the benefit of, and shall be held in trust for the benefit of, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and
applied upon the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement.
7. No Stay. Without limitation of any other provision of this Guaranty, if any
declaration of default or acceleration or other exercise or condition to exercise of rights or
remedies under or with respect to any Guarantied Obligation shall at any time be stayed, enjoined,
or prevented for any reason (including but not limited to stay or injunction resulting from the
pendency against the Borrowers or any other Person of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
similar proceeding), the Guarantors agree that, for the purposes of this Guaranty and their
obligations hereunder, the Guarantied Obligations shall be deemed to have been declared in default
or accelerated, and such other exercise or conditions to exercise shall be deemed to have been
taken or met.
8. Taxes.
(a) No Deductions. All payments made by any Guarantor under any of the Loan Documents
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding
Excluded Taxes (all such non-Excluded Taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings,
and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Guarantor shall be required by
Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any of the Loan Documents, (i)
the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Subsection (a)), such Lender
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
such Guarantor shall make such deductions, and (iii) such Guarantor shall timely pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant tax authority or
13
other authority in accordance with applicable Law. Guarantors may be entitled to payments
with respect to refunded Taxes or Other Taxes (hereinafter defined) under the circumstances and to
the extent described in Section 5.9.5 [Status of Lenders] of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Stamp Taxes. In addition, each Guarantor agrees to pay any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which
arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, or registration of, or
otherwise with respect to, any of the Loan Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”),
provided, however, that Foreign Guarantors whose obligations are limited pursuant to Section 17(b)
hereof shall only be liable for such Other Taxes imposed in or by reason of their jurisdiction.
(c) Indemnification for Taxes Paid by any Lender. Each Guarantor shall indemnify each
Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction (provided, however, that Foreign Guarantors whose
obligations are limited pursuant to Section 17(b) hereof, shall only indemnify as to Taxes or Other
Taxes imposed in or as a result of their jurisdiction) on amounts payable under this Subsection)
paid by any Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally asserted. Amounts required to be paid under this indemnification provision shall be paid
within thirty (30) days from the date a Lender makes written demand therefor.
(d) Certificate. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of any Taxes
by any Guarantor, such Guarantor shall furnish to each Lender, the original or a certified copy of
a receipt evidencing payment thereof. If no Taxes or Other Taxes are payable in respect of any
payment by such Guarantor, such Guarantor shall, if so requested by a Lender, provide a certificate
of an officer of such Guarantor to that effect.
9. Notices. Each Guarantor agrees that all notices, statements, requests, demands and
other communications under this Guaranty shall be given to such Guarantor at the address set forth
on a Schedule to, or in a Guarantor Joinder and Assumption Agreement given under, the Credit
Agreement and in the manner provided in Section 11.5 [Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic
Communication] of the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may rely on any
notice (whether or not made in a manner contemplated by this Guaranty) purportedly made by or on
behalf of a Guarantor, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to verify
the identity or authority of the Person giving such notice.
10. Counterparts; Telecopy or Electronic Signatures. This Guaranty may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Each Guarantor acknowledges and
agrees that a telecopy or other electronic transmission (including email) to Administrative Agent
or any Lender of signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of any Guarantor shall
constitute effective and binding execution and delivery hereof by such Xxxxxxxxx.
00
00. Setoff, Default Payments by Borrowers.
(a) In the event that at any time any obligation of the Guarantors now or hereafter existing
under this Guaranty shall have become due and payable, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or
any of them, shall have the right from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, to set off
against and apply to such due and payable amount any obligation of any nature of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent, or any subsidiary or affiliate of any Lender or Administrative Agent, to any
Guarantor, including but not limited to all deposits (whether time or demand, general or special,
provisionally credited or finally credited, however evidenced) now or hereafter maintained by any
Guarantor with the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Such right shall be absolute and
unconditional in all circumstances and, without limitation, shall exist whether or not the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, shall have given any notice or made any demand
under this Guaranty or under such obligation to the Guarantor, whether such obligation to the
Guarantor is absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured (it being agreed that the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, may deem such obligation to be then due and payable at the
time of such setoff), and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, guaranty, or
other direct or indirect security or right or remedy available to the Administrative Agent or any
of the Lenders, subject, however, to Sections 15 and 17(b)-(f), if applicable, so there is no right
of setoff with respect to each Foreign Guarantor except as to the Guarantied Obligations for which
such Foreign Guarantor is liable under this Guaranty. The rights of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders under this Section are in addition to such other rights and remedies (including,
without limitation, other rights of setoff and banker’s lien) which the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, or any of them, may have, and nothing in this Guaranty or in any other Loan Document
shall be deemed a waiver of or restriction on the right of setoff or banker’s lien of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them. Subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 9.2.3 [Set-off] of the Credit Agreement, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that, to the
fullest extent permitted by Law, any affiliate or subsidiary of the Administrative Agent or any of
the Lenders and any holder of a participation in any obligation of any Guarantor under this
Guaranty, shall have the same rights of setoff as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as
provided in this Section (regardless whether such affiliate or participant otherwise would be
deemed a creditor of the Guarantor).
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any default under any Guarantied
Obligation, if any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor by or for the account of Borrowers, such
amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of each Lender and Administrative Agent and shall
forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guarantied
Obligations when due and payable.
12. Construction. The section and other headings contained in this Guaranty are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect interpretation of this Guaranty in any respect. This
Guaranty has been fully negotiated between the applicable parties, each party having the benefit of
legal counsel, and accordingly neither any doctrine of construction of guaranties or suretyships in
favor of the guarantor or surety, nor any doctrine of construction of ambiguities in agreement or
instruments against the party controlling the drafting thereof, shall apply to this Guaranty.
15
13. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its
successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, and their successors and permitted assigns; provided,
however, that no Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any
interest herein and any such purported assignment or transfer shall be null and void. Without
limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them (and any
successive assignee or transferee, permitted under the Credit Agreement), from time to time, to the
extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of
its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or any portion of any commitment
to extend credit), or any other Guarantied Obligations, to any other person and such Guarantied
Obligations (including any Guarantied Obligations resulting from extension of credit by such other
Person under or in connection with the Loan Documents) shall be and remain Guarantied Obligations
entitled to the benefit of this Guaranty, and to the extent of its interest in such Guarantied
Obligations such other Person shall be vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in this Guaranty or otherwise.
14. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a)
Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in
accordance with, the internal Laws of the State of
New York, without regard to conflict of laws
principles.
(b) Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably:
(i) Submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any
New York state or federal court
sitting in New York County, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court.
Each Guarantor hereby waives to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of
an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Each Guarantor
hereby appoints the process agent identified below (the “
Process Agent”) as its agent to
receive on behalf of such party, and its respective property, service of copies of the
summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding.
Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Guarantor
in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s address, and each Guarantor hereby
authorizes and directs the Process Agent to receive such service on its behalf. Each
Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions (or any political subdivision thereof) by suit on
the judgment or in any other manner provided at law. Each Guarantor further agrees that it
shall, for so long as any commitment or any obligation of any Loan Party to any Lender
remains outstanding, continue to retain Process Agent for the purposes set forth in this
Section 14. The Process Agent is the Company, with an office on the date hereof as set
forth in the Credit Agreement. The Process Agent hereby accepts the appointment of Process
Agent by the Companies and agrees to act as Process Agent on behalf of the Companies;
16
(ii) Waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted against it
as provided herein and agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or
venue; and
(iii) WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY KIND
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS GUARANTY, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
15. Severability; Modification to Conform to Law.
(a) It is the intention of the parties that this Guaranty be enforceable to the fullest extent
permissible under applicable Law, but that the unenforceability (or modification to conform to such
Law) of any provision or provisions hereof shall not render unenforceable, or impair, the remainder
hereof. If any provision in this Guaranty shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in
part in any jurisdiction, this Guaranty shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed amended to modify
or delete, as necessary, the offending provision or provisions and to alter the bounds thereof in
order to render it or them valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law,
without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision or provisions in
any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.
(b) Without limitation of the preceding Subsection (a), to the extent that applicable Law
(including applicable Laws pertaining to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent or preferential
transfer) otherwise would render the full amount of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder invalid,
voidable, or unenforceable on account of the amount of a Guarantor’s aggregate liability under this
Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the aggregate
amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Administrative Agent or any of
the Lenders or such Guarantor or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the
highest amount which is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding, which
(without limiting the generality of the foregoing) may be an amount which is equal to the greater
of:
(i) the fair consideration actually received by such Guarantor under the terms and as a
result of the Loan Documents and the value of the benefits described in this Section 15 (b)
hereof, including (and to the extent not inconsistent with applicable federal and state Laws
affecting the enforceability of guaranties) distributions, commitments, and advances made to
or for the benefit of such Guarantor with the proceeds of any credit extended under the Loan
Documents, or
(ii) the excess of (A) the amount of the fair value of the assets of such Guarantor as
of the date of this Guaranty as determined in accordance with applicable federal and state
Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors as in effect on the date hereof,
over (B) the amount of all liabilities of such Guarantor as of the date of this Guaranty,
also as determined on the basis of applicable federal and state Laws governing the
insolvency of debtors as in effect on the date hereof.
17
and once the liability of a Guarantor is reduced pursuant to this Subsection (b), nothing to the
contrary in this Guaranty will authorize or allow the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to
collect an amount greater than that reduced amount from such Guarantor (provided that the
circumstances giving rise to such reduction do not change, eliminating the basis for such
reduction) or any amounts not guaranteed by such Guarantor under this Guaranty.
(c) To the extent that this Guaranty is granted by a Guarantor incorporated in Germany as a
limited liability company (GmbH) or a limited partnership (GmbH & Co KG) (each, a “German
Guarantor”) and the Guaranty relates to obligations of a direct or indirect shareholder of the
German Guarantor or Subsidiaries of such shareholders, this Guaranty shall be subject to the
limitations set out in this paragraph (c). Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor
any other beneficiary of this Guaranty shall be entitled to enforce the Guaranty to the extent that
such enforcement has the effect of:
(i) reducing the German Guarantor’s net assets (Nettovermögen) (the “Net Assets”) to an
amount less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital), or
(ii) (if its Net Assets are already lower than its stated share capital) causing such
amount to be further reduced,
and thereby affects the German Guarantor’s assets which are required for the obligatory
preservation of its stated share capital according to §§ 30, 31 of the German Act on Companies with
Limited Liability (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung, “GmbH-Act”). The
value of the Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the provisions and accounting
principles set out in the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, “HGB”) consistently applied
by the German Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluß according to
§ 42 GmbH-Act, §§ 242, 264 HGB) in the previous years.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or elsewhere in this Guaranty,
this Guaranty shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to its full extent in accordance with
its terms, as if this Section (and references elsewhere in this Guaranty to enforceability to the
fullest extent permitted by Law) were not a part of this Guaranty, and in any related litigation
the burden of proof shall be on the party asserting the invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision hereof or asserting any limitation on any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as to each
element of such assertion.
16. Additional Guarantors. At any time after the initial execution and delivery of this
Guaranty to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, additional Persons may become parties to this
Guaranty and thereby acquire the duties and rights of being Guarantors hereunder by executing and
delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Guarantor Joinder and Assumption Agreement
pursuant to the Credit Agreement. No notice of the addition of any Guarantor shall be required to
be given to any pre-existing Guarantor and each Guarantor hereby consents thereto.
17. Joint and Several Obligations; Limitation of Liability as to Certain Foreign Guarantors.
18
(a) Except as set forth in Section 17(b)-(f) below, the obligations and additional liabilities
of the Guarantors under this Guaranty are joint and several obligations of the Guarantors, and each
Guarantor hereby waives to the full extent permitted by Law any defense it may otherwise have to
the payment and performance of the Obligations that its liability hereunder is limited and not
joint and several. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waivers and those set
forth below serve as a material inducement to the agreement of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders to make the Loans, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are relying on each
specific waiver and all such waivers in entering into this Guaranty. Except as set forth in
Section 17(b) below, the undertakings of each Guarantor hereunder secure the obligations of itself
and the other Guarantors, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, may, in
their sole discretion, elect to enforce this Guaranty against any Guarantor without any duty or
responsibility to pursue any other Guarantor and such an election by the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, or any of them, shall not be a defense to any action the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, or any of them, may elect to take against any Guarantor. Each of the Lenders and
Administrative Agent hereby reserve all rights against each Guarantor.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Guaranty:
(i) the obligations of each Foreign Guarantor shall be limited to the following: (a) if
such Foreign Guarantor is directly owned by a Foreign Borrower in the same jurisdiction, the
Guarantied Obligations of the Foreign Borrower which owns such Foreign Guarantor, or if such
Foreign Guarantor is not directly owned by a Foreign Borrower in the same jurisdiction, the
Guarantied Obligations of the Foreign Borrower in the same jurisdiction as the applicable
Foreign Guarantor, including without limitation all Loans borrowed by or for the sole
benefit of such Foreign Borrower and all Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of Letters
of Credit issued for such Foreign Borrower, together with interest and fees due thereupon
and all fees, costs, indemnities and other Guarantied Obligations attributable to such
Foreign Borrower (whether directly or by attribution) pursuant to the Loan Documents; and
(b) all fees, costs, indemnities and other Guarantied Obligations of such Foreign Guarantor
(whether directly or by attribution) pursuant to the Loan Documents, including without
limitation those arising under Sections 8 [Taxes] and 19(d) [Expenses] of this Guaranty, and
to the extent a Foreign Guarantor’s liability is limited pursuant to this Subsection (b)(i),
nothing to the contrary in this Guaranty will authorize or allow the Administrative Agent or
any of the Lenders to collect from such Foreign Guarantor an amount greater than the amount
of Guarantied Obligations for which such Foreign Guarantor is liable under this Guaranty;
and
(ii) the obligations of Centralized Medical Equipment LLC, Family Medical Supply LLC,
Invacare Canadian Holdings, LLC, Invacare HCS, LLC, Invamex Holdings LLC, and Roadrunner
Mobility, Incorporated shall be limited to $100,000,000.00 in the aggregate until the
earlier to occur of (a) the date such Guarantors receive necessary consents under the 2015
Senior Notes to this Guaranty, or (b) February 28, 2011.
(c) In addition to the limitations set forth in Section 17(b) above, if and to the extent
required by applicable Law of Norway, each Guarantor organized under the Laws of Norway’s aggregate
liability under this Guaranty shall be further limited under this Guaranty to
19
$480,000,000, plus interest thereon and fees, costs, expenses and indemnities as set out in
this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents.
(d) In addition to the limitations set forth in Section 17(b) above, if and to the extent
required by applicable Law of Sweden, each Guarantor organized under the Laws of Sweden’s (each, a
“Swedish Guarantor”) liability under this Guaranty shall be further limited by an application of
the provisions of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)) regulating prohibited
loans and guarantees and distribution of assets taking into account also any other security granted
and/or guarantee given by the Swedish Guarantors subject to the corresponding limitation, and it is
understood that the obligations of the Swedish Guarantors for such liabilities under this Guaranty
shall apply only to the extent permitted by the above-mentioned provisions as applied together with
other applicable provisions of the Swedish Companies Act, and the guarantee shall be limited in
accordance herewith.
(e) In addition to the limitations set forth in Section 17(b) above, the liability under this
Guaranty of each Foreign Guarantor organized under the Laws of the Netherlands (i) shall be further
limited to the maximum amount which it can guarantee and undertake to pay as set out herein
without, under the laws of the Netherlands, transgressing its corporate objects and interests
(“doel”) as meant in Section 2:7 of the Netherlands Civil Code, and (ii) shall be deemed not to be
assumed by such Guarantor to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial
assistance within the meaning of Section 2:207c of the Netherlands Civil Code and the provisions of
this Guaranty shall be construed accordingly.
(f) In addition to the limitations set forth in Section 17(b) above, if and to the extent
required by applicable Law of Denmark, each Guarantor organized under the Laws of Denmark’s (each,
a “Danish Guarantor”) liability under this Guaranty shall be further limited if and to the extent
required to comply with Danish statutory provisions on unlawful financial assistance including, but
not limited to, Sections 210, 211 and 212 of the Danish Companies Act (in Danish: “Selskabsloven”)
and Section 22 of the Executive Order no. 172/2010; and shall, if and to the extent it would
otherwise conflict with the fiduciary duties of the directors or officers of such Danish Guarantor
or result in personal or criminal liability on the part of any director or officer, in relation to
obligations not incurred as a result of borrowings by the Danish Guarantor or Letters of Credit
issued on behalf of the Danish Guarantor, further be limited to an amount equal to the greater of
(i) the equity of the Danish Guarantor at the date of this Guarantee and (ii) the equity at the
date when a claim is made against the Danish Guarantor, in each case calculated in accordance with
the Danish Guarantor’s generally accepted accounting principles at the relevant time (including an
adjustment if and to the extent any book value is not equal to the market value); however, adjusted
to include (if not already included) a statutory reserve in respect of any unpaid portion of the
subscription price for shares issued by the Danish Guarantor calculated in accordance with the
Danish Guarantor’s generally accepted accounting principles at the relevant time.
18. Receipt of Credit Agreement, Other Loan Documents, Benefits.
(a) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and each Guarantor certifies that the representations and warranties made
therein with respect to such Guarantor are true and correct. Further, each
20
Guarantor acknowledges and agrees to perform, comply with, and be bound by all of the
provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges, represents, and warrants that it receives direct and
indirect benefits by virtue of its affiliation with the Borrowers and the other Guarantors and that
it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the
Credit Agreement and that such benefits, together with the rights of contribution and subrogation
that may arise in connection herewith are a reasonably equivalent exchange of value in return for
providing this Guaranty.
19. Miscellaneous.
(a) Generality of Certain Terms. As used in this Guaranty, the terms “hereof”,
“herein” and terms of similar import refer to this Guaranty as a whole and not to any particular
term or provision; the term “including”, as used herein, is not a term of limitation and means
“including without limitation”.
(b) Amendments, Waivers. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty,
and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless
in a writing manually signed by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given. No delay or failure of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, in
exercising any right or remedy under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Guaranty are cumulative and not exclusive of any
other rights or remedies available hereunder, under any other agreement or instrument, by Law, or
otherwise.
(c) Telecommunications. Each Lender and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
rely on the authority of any individual making any telecopy, electronic or telephonic notice,
request, or signature without the necessity of receipt of any verification thereof.
(d) Expenses. Each Guarantor unconditionally agrees to pay all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in
enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor and each Guarantor shall pay and indemnify each
Lender and Administrative Agent for, and hold it harmless from and against, any and all
obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including disbursements and reasonable
legal fees of counsel to any Lender or Administrative Agent), penalties, judgments, suits, actions,
claims, and disbursements imposed on, asserted against, or incurred by any Lender or Administrative
Agent:
(i) relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement
of or collection under this Guaranty or any document, instrument, or agreement relating to
any of the Guarantied Obligations, including in any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar
proceeding in any jurisdiction or political subdivision thereof;
21
(ii) relating to any amendment, modification, waiver, or consent hereunder or relating
to any telecopy or telephonic transmission purporting to be by any Guarantor or any
Borrower; and
(iii) in any way relating to or arising out of this Guaranty, or any document,
instrument, or agreement relating to any of the Guarantied Obligations, or any action taken
or omitted to be taken by any Lender or Administrative Agent hereunder, and including those
arising directly or indirectly from the violation or asserted violation by any Guarantor or
any Borrower or Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Law, rule, regulation, judgment,
order, or the like of any jurisdiction or political subdivision thereof (including those
relating to environmental protection, health, labor, importing, exporting, or safety) and
regardless whether asserted by any governmental entity or any other Person.
(e) Prior Understandings. This Guaranty and the Loan Documents constitute the entire
agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all
other prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements.
(f) Survival. All representations and warranties of the Guarantors made in connection
with this Guaranty shall survive, and shall not be waived by, the execution and delivery of this
Guaranty, any investigation by or knowledge of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of
them, any extension of credit, or any other event or circumstance whatsoever.

THIS PATENT, TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT SECURITY AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of
October 28, 2010, is entered into by and among EACH OF THE PERSONS LISTED ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES
HERETO AND EACH OF THE OTHER PERSONS WHICH BECOMES A PLEDGOR HEREUNDER FROM TIME TO TIME (each, a
“Pledgor” and collectively, the “Pledgors”), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
Administrative Agent for the Lenders referred to below (the “Agent”).
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, modified or
supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) of even date herewith by and among
Invacare Corporation, an Ohio corporation, and each of the other Borrowers now or hereafter party
thereto, each of the Guarantors now or hereafter party thereto, each of the Lenders (all as defined
in the Credit Agreement) now or hereafter party thereto, and the Agent, the Agent and the Lenders
have agreed to provide certain Loans and grant other financial accommodations to the Loan Parties
(each as defined in the Credit Agreement), and the Pledgors have agreed, among other things, to
grant a security interest to the Agent in certain patents, trademarks, copyrights and other
property as security for such loans and other obligations as more fully described herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) capitalized terms used in this
Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement, and (ii) the
rules of construction set forth in Section 1.2 [Construction] of the Credit Agreement shall apply
to this Agreement. Where applicable and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, terms used
herein (whether or not capitalized) shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the
Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York, as amended from time to time (the
“Code”).
(b) “Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights” shall mean and include all of each Pledgor’s
present and future right, title and interest in and to the following: all trade names, patent
applications, patents, trademark applications, trademarks and copyrights, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired by any Pledgor, including, without limitation, those listed on Schedule A
hereto, including all proceeds thereof (such as, by way of example, license royalties and proceeds
of infringement suits), the right to xxx for past, present and future infringements, all rights
corresponding thereto throughout the world and all reissues, divisions, continuations, renewals,
extensions and continuations-in-part thereof, and the goodwill of the business to which any of the
patents, trademarks and copyrights relate.
(c) “Debt” shall mean and include the following: (a) all now existing and hereafter
arising Obligations of the Pledgors to the Agent, the Lenders, or any provider of any Lender
Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any provider of any Other Lender Provided Financial
Service Product under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including all
Schedule A to Pledge Agreement — Page 2
obligations, liabilities, and indebtedness, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or
otherwise, of the Pledgors to the Agent, the Lenders, or any obligation in connection with any
Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service
Product, now existing or hereafter incurred under the Credit Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranty
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as any of the same or any one or more of them may from
time to time be amended, restated, modified, or supplemented, together with any and all extensions,
renewals, refinancings, and refundings thereof in whole or in part (and including obligations,
liabilities, and indebtedness arising or accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding with respect to the Pledgors or which would have
arisen or accrued but for the commencement of such proceeding, even if the claim for such
obligation, liability or indebtedness is not enforceable or allowable in such proceeding, and
including all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness arising from any extensions of credit under
or in connection with the Loan Documents from time to time, regardless whether any such extensions
of credit are in excess of the amount committed under or contemplated by the Loan Documents or are
made in circumstances in which any condition to extension of credit is not satisfied); (ii) all
reimbursement obligations of the Pledgors with respect to any one or more Letters of Credit issued
by an Issuing Bank; (iii) all indebtedness, loans, obligations, expenses and liabilities of the
Pledgors to the Agent or any of the Lenders, or any obligations incurred in connection with any
Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service
Product; and (iv) any sums advanced by the Agent or the Lenders or which may otherwise become due
pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, this Agreement, or any other Loan
Documents or pursuant to any other document or instrument at any time delivered to the Agent in
connection therewith, including commitment, letter of credit, agent or other fees and charges, and
indemnification obligations under any such document or instrument, together with all interest
payable on any of the foregoing, whether such sums are advanced or otherwise become due before or
after the entry of any judgment for foreclosure or any judgment on any Loan Document or with
respect to any default under any of the Debt.
2. To secure the performance and Payment In Full of all Debt, each Pledgor hereby grants and
conveys a security interest to the Agent in the entire right, title and interest of such Pledgor in
and to all of its Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights.
3. Each Pledgor covenants and warrants that:
(a) except as would not cause a Material Adverse Change, the Patents, Trademarks and
Copyrights are subsisting and have not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part;
(b) except as would not cause a Material Adverse Change, to the best of such Pledgor’s
knowledge, each of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights is valid and enforceable;
(c) except as would not cause a Material Adverse Change, such Pledgor is the sole and
exclusive owner of the entire and unencumbered right, title and interest in and to each of its
Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, free and clear of any liens, charges and encumbrances,
including without limitation pledges, assignments, licenses, shop rights and covenants by such
Pledgor not to xxx third persons, other than Permitted Liens;
-3-
(d) except as would not cause a Material Adverse Change, no claim has been made to such
Pledgor or, to the knowledge of such Pledgor, any other person that the use of any of the Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights does or may violate the rights of any third party;
(e) except as would not cause a Material Adverse Change, such Pledgor has used, and except as
otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, will continue to use for the duration of this
Agreement, consistent standards of quality in its manufacture of products sold under the Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights; and
(f) except as would not cause a Material Adverse Change, such Pledgor has used, and except for
those Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights that are hereafter allowed to lapse in accordance with
Paragraph 11 hereof or in accordance with the Credit Agreement, will continue to use for the
duration of this Agreement, proper statutory notice in connection with its use of the Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights.
4. Subject to the Credit Agreement and Security Agreement, the Agent and the Lenders, or any of
the them, may, in their sole discretion, elect to enforce this Agreement against any Pledgor
without any duty or responsibility to pursue any other Pledgor and such an election by the Agent
and the Lenders, or any of them, shall not be a defense to any action the Agent and the Lenders, or
any of them, may elect to take against any Pledgor. Each of the Lenders and the Agent hereby
reserve all right against each Pledgor.
5. Each Pledgor agrees that, until Payment In Full, it will not enter into any agreement (for
example, a license agreement) which is inconsistent with such Pledgor’s obligations under this
Agreement, without the Agent’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
except such Pledgor may license technology (i) to other Loan Parties, (ii) in the ordinary course
of business to suppliers and customers to facilitate the manufacture and use of such Pledgor’s
products without the Agent’s consent, and (iii) as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement
and Security Agreement.
6. If, before Payment In Full, any Pledgor shall own any new domestic trademarks or any new
domestic copyrightable or patentable inventions, or any domestic patent application or patent for
any reissue, division, continuation, renewal, extension, or continuation in part of any Patent,
Trademark or Copyright or any domestic improvement on any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, the
provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and such Pledgor shall give to the
Agent prompt notice in writing of any such future domestic patents, patent applications, trademark
applications, statements of use or use or other change in the status of any intent-to-use trademark
applications, trademark registrations, copyright applications and copyright registrations. The
Pledgors and the Agent agree to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule A to include any future
domestic patents, patent applications, trademark applications, statements of use or use or other
change in the status of any intent-to-use trademark applications, trademark registrations,
copyright registrations.
7. Subject to Section 9.2.1 [Events of Default Other Than Bankruptcy, Insolvency or
Reorganization Proceedings] of the Credit Agreement, the Agent shall have, in addition to all other
rights and remedies given it by this Agreement and those rights and remedies set forth in the
Credit Agreement, those allowed by applicable Law and the rights and remedies of a secured
-4-
party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any jurisdiction in which the Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights may be located and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may immediately, without demand of
performance and without other notice (except as set forth below) or demand whatsoever to any
Pledgor, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and without advertisement, sell at public or
private sale or otherwise realize upon, in a city that the Agent shall designate by notice to such
Pledgor, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania or elsewhere, the whole or from time to time any part of the
Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, or any interest which such Pledgor may have therein and shall
apply such proceeds as provided in Section 9.2.5 [Application of Proceeds] of the Credit Agreement.
Notice of any sale or other disposition of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights shall be given
to the Pledgors at least ten (10) days before the time of any intended public or private sale or
other disposition of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights is to be made, which each Pledgor
hereby agrees shall be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. At any such sale or
other disposition, the Agent may, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, purchase the
whole or any part of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights sold, free from any right of redemption
on the part of any Pledgor, which right is hereby waived and released.
8. Subject to Section 9.2.1 [Events of Default Other Than Bankruptcy, Insolvency or
Reorganization Proceedings] of the Credit Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Pledgor hereby authorizes and empowers the Agent to make, constitute and
appoint any officer or agent of the Agent, as the Agent may select in its exclusive discretion, as
such Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with the power to endorse such Pledgor’s name on
all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary for the Agent to use the Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights, or to grant or issue, on commercially reasonable terms, any exclusive or
nonexclusive license under the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights to any third person, or necessary
for the Agent to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose, on commercially
reasonable terms, of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights to any third Person. Each Pledgor
hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for the life of this
Agreement.
9. At such time as the Pledgors shall have made Payment In Full all of the Debt, and the
Commitments shall have terminated and the Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated, this
Agreement shall terminate and the Agent will thereafter, upon any Pledgor’s request and at such
Pledgor’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Pledgor all deeds, assignments and other
instruments as may be necessary or proper to remove the Agent’s security interest in the Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights, subject to any disposition thereof which may have been made by the Agent
pursuant hereto.
10. Any and all fees, costs and expenses, of whatever kind or nature, including attorney’s fees
and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement (including
the allocated costs of staff counsel) and all other documents relating hereto and the consummation
of this transaction, the filing or recording of any documents (including all taxes in connection
therewith) in public offices, the payment or discharge of any taxes, counsel fees, maintenance
fees, encumbrances, the protection, maintenance or preservation of the Patents, Trademarks and
Copyrights, or the defense or prosecution of any actions or proceedings arising
-5-
out of or related to the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, shall be borne and paid by the
Pledgors within fifteen (15) days of demand by the Agent, and if not paid within such time, shall
be added to the principal amount of the Debt and shall bear interest at the highest rate prescribed
in the Credit Agreement.
11. Each Pledgor shall have the duty, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Agent, to
prosecute diligently, consistent with its past practices, any patent applications of the Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights pending as of the date of this Agreement if commercially reasonable or
thereafter until Payment In Full, to make application on unpatented but patentable inventions
(whenever it is commercially reasonable in the reasonable judgment of such Pledgor to do so) and to
preserve and maintain all rights in patent applications and patents included in the Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights, including without limitation the payment of all maintenance fees. Any
expenses incurred in connection with such an application shall be borne by the Pledgors. Except as
permitted under the Credit Agreement and Security Agreement, no Pledgor may abandon any material
Patent, Trademark or Copyright, if such would not be consistent with past practices, without the
consent of the Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
12. Each Pledgor shall have the right, with the consent of the Agent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, to bring suit, action or other proceeding in its own name, and to join the
Agent, if necessary, as a party to such suit so long as the Agent is satisfied that such joinder
will not subject it to any risk of liability, to enforce the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights and
any licenses thereunder. Each Pledgor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the
Agent for all damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred by the Agent
as a result of such suit or joinder by such Pledgor.
13. No course of dealing between the Pledgors and the Agent, nor any failure to exercise nor any
delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the
Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or
privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or
thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege.
14 .All of the Agent’s rights and remedies with respect to the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights,
whether established hereby or by the Credit Agreement or by any other agreements or by Law, shall
be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.
15. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any clause or provision shall be held
invalid and unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or
unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction,
and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any
clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.
16. This Agreement is subject to modification only by a writing signed by the parties, except as
provided in Paragraph 6.
17. The benefits and burdens of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties in accordance with the Credit
-6-
Agreement, provided, however, that no Pledgor may assign or transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder or any interest herein and any such purported assignment or transfer shall be
null and void.
18. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the State of New York and
shall, pursuant to New York General Obligations Law 5-1401, for all purposes be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York.
19. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any federal or
state courts in the State of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement, and the Pledgors hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action
or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. Each Pledgor
hereby waives to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum
to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding.
20. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto
in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all
such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each Pledgor acknowledges and
agrees that a telecopy transmission to the Agent or any Lender of the signature pages hereof
purporting to be signed on behalf of any Pledgor shall constitute effective and binding execution
and delivery hereof by such Pledgor.
21. EACH PLEDGOR AND THE AGENT, ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS, HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY A JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATING THERETO.
22. All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications (collectively, “notices”)
given to or made upon any party hereto under the provisions of this Agreement shall be as set forth
in Section 11.5 [Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication] of the Credit Agreement.
23. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to the other rights of the Agent
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, because the Agent’s remedies at law for failure of
such Pledgor to comply with the provisions hereof relating to the Agent’s rights (i) to inspect the
books and records related to the pledged Collateral, (ii) to receive the various notifications such
Pledgor is required to deliver hereunder, (iii) to obtain copies of agreements and documents as
provided herein with respect to the pledged Collateral, (iv) to enforce the provisions hereof
pursuant to which the such Pledgor has appointed the Agent its attorney-in-fact, and (v) to enforce
the Agent’s remedies hereunder, would be inadequate and that any such failure would not be
adequately compensable in damages, such Pledgor agrees that each such provision hereof may be
specifically enforced.
24. At any time after the initial execution of this Agreement, additional Persons may become
parties to this Agreement as Pledgors and thereby acquire the duties and rights of being Pledgors
hereunder by executing and delivering to the Agent a Guarantor Joinder or Borrower Joinder (as
-7-
applicable) pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and any necessary updates to the Schedules
hereof. No notice of the addition of any Pledgor shall be required to be given to any
pre-existing Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby consents thereto.

Subsidiary after the Closing Date, then such Pledgor shall be required to pledge any such ownership
interests in such Subsidiary when such Subsidiary ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary, and an
updated Schedule A which includes reference to such ownership interests shall be delivered to the
Administrative Agent by Pledgors, and such ownership interests shall be subject to all of the terms

other ownership interests of any existing Subsidiary, or newly acquired or formed domestic
Subsidiary or first-tier Foreign Subsidiary, or any of the rights, property or securities, shares,
capital stock, member interests, partnership interests or any other ownership interests described
in the definition of Pledged Collateral with respect to any of such Subsidiaries, such ownership
interests shall be subject to the terms hereof and, upon such acquisition, shall be deemed to be
hereby pledged to the Administrative Agent; and, such Pledgor thereupon shall deliver all such
securities, shares, capital stock, member interests, partnership interests and other ownership
interests together with an updated Schedule A hereto, to the Administrative Agent together with all
such control agreements, financing statements, and any other documents necessary to implement the
provisions and purposes of this Agreement as the Administrative Agent may request;

contrary set forth herein, if any Pledgor shall not have been required, on the date hereof, to
pledge any capital stock, shares, securities, member interests, partnership interests and other
ownership interests of any Subsidiary existing as of the Closing Date and disclosed to the Lenders
in writing, it shall not be required, following the date hereof, to pledge subsequently issued
capital stock, shares, securities, member interests, partnership interests and other ownership
interests of any such Subsidiary.
6. Other Rights With Respect to Pledged Collateral.
In addition to the other rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral granted to the
Administrative Agent hereunder, at any time and from time to time, after and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, at its option and at the expense of
- 8 -
the Pledgors, may (a) transfer into its own name, or into the name of its nominee, all or any
part of the Pledged Collateral, thereafter receiving all dividends, income or other distributions
upon the Pledged Collateral; (b) take control of and manage all or any of the Pledged Collateral,
provided, however that the Administrative Agent will provide the applicable Pledgor with
five (5) days’ prior notice of its intention to exercise any voting rights with respect to Pledged
Collateral (such notice period may run concurrently with any other applicable notice periods);
(c) apply to the payment of any of the Secured Obligations, whether any be due and payable or not,
any moneys, including cash dividends and income from any Pledged Collateral, now or hereafter in
the hands of the Administrative Agent or any provider of any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency
Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product, on deposit or otherwise, belonging to
any Pledgor, as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine; and (d) do
anything which any Pledgor is required but fails to do hereunder.
7. Additional Remedies Upon Event of Default.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and while such Event of Default shall be
continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to all rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Code or other applicable Law, and in addition to its rights under Section 6
above and under the other Loan Documents, the following rights and remedies:
(i) The Administrative Agent may, after ten (10) days’ advance notice to the a Pledgor, sell,
assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of such Pledgor’s Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s
offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the
Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Pledgor agrees that ten (10) days’
advance notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is
to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.
The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement
at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the
time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent
may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales of the Pledged Collateral to a restricted
group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities,
shares, capital stock, member interests, partnership interests or ownership interests for their own
account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor
acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less
favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that
any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The
Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the
period of time necessary to permit Pledgor (or issuer) to register such securities for public sale
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable securities laws, even if Pledgor
(or issuer) would agree to do so;
(ii) The proceeds of any collection, sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral, or
any part thereof, shall, after the Administrative Agent has made all deductions of expenses,
including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in connection with
repossession, collection, sale or disposition of such Pledged Collateral or in
- 9 -
connection with the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights with respect to the
Pledged Collateral, including in any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings, be
applied against the Secured Obligations, whether or not all the same be then due and payable in
accordance with Section 9.2.4 of the Credit Agreement.
8. Administrative Agent’s Duties.
The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest
in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.
Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for
moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any
Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior
parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral.
9. Additional Pledgors.
It is anticipated that additional Persons will from time to time become Subsidiaries of the
Borrowers or Guarantors, each of whom, if it is a Domestic Loan Party, will be required to join
this Pledge Agreement as a Pledgor. It is acknowledged and agreed that each such Person will
become a Pledgor hereunder and will be bound hereby simply by executing and delivering to
Administrative Agent a Guarantor Joinder in the form of Exhibit 1.1(G)(1) to the Credit
Agreement or Borrower Joinder in the form of Exhibit 1.1(B) to the Credit Agreement (as
applicable). In addition, a new Schedule A hereto shall be provided to Administrative
Agent showing the pledge of the ownership interest in such new Pledgor’s Subsidiaries that are
required to be pledged pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any ownership interests that
such new Pledgor owns in any other Person that are required to be pledged pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, all of which shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
10. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent,
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided under the other Loan Documents or by Law.
Each Pledgor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent to proceed against any other
Person or to exhaust any of the Pledged Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations or
to pursue any remedy in the Administrative Agent’s power.
11. No Discharge Until Indefeasible Payment of the Secured Obligations.
The pledge, security interests, and other Liens and the obligations of each Pledgor hereunder
shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise diminished by any failure, default, omission, or
delay, willful or otherwise, by Administrative Agent, or any other obligor on any of the Secured
Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which
may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Pledgor or which would otherwise
operate as a discharge of such Pledgor as a matter of law or equity. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby consents to, and the pledge, security
- 10 -
interests, and other Liens given by such Pledgor hereunder shall not be diminished,
terminated, or otherwise similarly affected by any of the following at any time and from time to
time:
(i) Any lack of genuineness, legality, validity, enforceability, or allowability (in a
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or otherwise), or any avoidance or
subordination, in whole or in part, of any Loan Document, any obligations in connection with any
Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product
or any of the Secured Obligations and regardless of any law, regulation, or order now or hereafter
in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of the Secured Obligations, any of the terms of the
Loan Documents, or any rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Person with respect thereto;
(ii) Any increase, decrease, or change in the amount, nature, type or purpose of any of or any
release, surrender, exchange, compromise or settlement of any of the Secured Obligations (whether
or not contemplated by the Loan Documents as presently constituted); any change in the time,
manner, method, or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, any of the Secured
Obligations; any execution or delivery of any additional Loan Documents; or any amendment,
modification or supplement to, or refinancing or refunding of, any Loan Document, any Lender
Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product or any
of the Secured Obligations;
(iii) Any failure to assert any breach of or default under any Loan Document, any Lender
Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product or any
of the Secured Obligations; any extensions of credit in excess of the amount committed under or
contemplated by the Loan Documents or any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other
Lender Provided Financial Service Product, or in circumstances in which any condition to such
extensions of credit has not been satisfied; any other exercise or non-exercise, or any other
failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action in connection with any exercise or
non-exercise, of any right or remedy against such Pledgor or any other Person under or in
connection with any Loan Document or any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other
Lender Provided Financial Service Product or any of the Secured Obligations; any refusal of payment
or performance of any of the Secured Obligations, whether or not with any reservation of rights
against any Pledgor; or any application of collections (including collections resulting from
realization upon any direct or indirect security for the Secured Obligations) to other obligations,
if any, not entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, in preference to Secured Obligations or, if
any collections are applied to Secured Obligations, any application to particular Secured
Obligations;
(iv) Any taking, exchange, amendment, modification, supplement, termination, subordination,
release, loss, or impairment of, or any failure to protect, perfect, or preserve the value of, or
any enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection
with, or any failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action by the Administrative
Agent or any other Person in connection with the enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of
rights or remedies under or in connection with, or, any other action or inaction by Administrative
Agent or any other Person in respect of, any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured
Obligations (including the Pledged Collateral). As used in this Agreement, “direct or indirect
security” for the Secured Obligations, and similar phrases,
- 11 -
includes any collateral security, guaranty, suretyship, letter of credit, capital maintenance
agreement, put option, subordination agreement, or other right or arrangement of any nature
providing direct or indirect assurance of payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations,
made by or on behalf of any Person;
(v) Any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, charter revocation, or
forfeiture, or other change in, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or
existence of, any Pledgor or any Borrower or any other Person; any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to any Pledgor or any Borrower or any other
Person; or any action taken or election (including any election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the
United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable law of any jurisdiction) made by Administrative
Agent or any Pledgor or any Borrower or by any other Person in connection with any such proceeding;
(vi) Any defense, setoff, or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted
by any Pledgor or any Borrower or any other Person with respect to any Loan Document or any of the
Secured Obligations; or any discharge by operation of law or release of any Pledgor or any Borrower
or any other Person from the performance or observance of any Loan Document or any of the Secured
Obligations; and
(vii) Any other event or circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, and
whether known or unknown, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or limit the
liability of a guarantor or a surety, including any Pledgor, excepting only full, strict, and
indefeasible payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in full.
12. Taxes.
(i) No Deductions. All payments and collections made by or from any Pledgor under
this Agreement shall be made or received free and clear of and without deduction for any present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with
respect thereto, excluding Excluded Taxes (all such non-Excluded Taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If
any Pledgor shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable or
any collection made under this Agreement, (a) the sum payable or collectable shall be increased as
may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable or collectable under this Subsection) Administrative Agent receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Pledgor
shall make such deductions and (c) such Pledgor shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant tax authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law;
(ii) Stamp Taxes. In addition, each Pledgor acknowledges that the Pledged Collateral
secures payment of all present and future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or
property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment or collection made
hereunder or from the execution, delivery, or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”);
- 12 -
(iii) Indemnification for Taxes Paid by Administrative Agent. Each Pledgor
acknowledges that the Pledged Collateral secures the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes
(including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section 12) paid by Administrative Agent and any liability (including penalties,
interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted;
(iv) Certificate. In the event any Pledgor pays any Taxes or Other Taxes, within 30
days after the date of any such payment, such Pledgor shall furnish to Administrative Agent, the
original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof;
(v) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Pledgor
hereunder, the agreements and obligations of each Pledgor contained in Clauses (a) through (d)
directly above shall survive the Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations, termination or
expiration of the Commitments and expiration of the Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.
13. Waivers.
Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all defenses
which any Pledgor may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of
collateral, or the like and each Pledgor hereby waives any defense to or limitation on its
obligations under this Agreement arising out of or based on any event or circumstance referred to
in the immediately preceding section hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Pledgor hereby further waives each of the
following:
(i) All notices, disclosures and demands of any nature which otherwise might be required from
time to time to preserve intact any rights against such Pledgor, including the following: any
notice of any event or circumstance described in the immediately preceding section hereof; any
notice required by any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction; any
notice of nonpayment, nonperformance, dishonor, or protest under any Loan Document or any Lender
Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product or any
of the Secured Obligations; any notice of the incurrence of any Secured Obligations; any notice of
any default or any failure on the part of such Pledgor or any Borrower or any other Person to
comply with any Loan Document or Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender
Provided Financial Service Product or any of the Secured Obligations or any requirement pertaining
to any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; and any notice or other
information pertaining to the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or
prospects of the Borrowers or any other Person;
(ii) Any right to any marshalling of assets, to the filing of any claim against such Pledgor
or any Borrower or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or
similar proceeding, or to the exercise against such Pledgor or any Borrower, or any other Person of
any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document, any Lender Provided
Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided
- 13 -
Financial Service Product, or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect
security for any of the Secured Obligations; any requirement of promptness or diligence on the part
of the Administrative Agent or any other Person; any requirement to exhaust any remedies under or
in connection with, or to mitigate the damages resulting from default under, any Loan Document or
any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured
Obligations; any benefit of any statute of limitations; and any requirement of acceptance of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any requirement that any Pledgor receive notice of any
such acceptance;
(iii) Any defense or other right arising by reason of any Law now or hereafter in effect in
any jurisdiction pertaining to election of remedies (including anti-deficiency laws, “one action”
laws, or the like), or by reason of any election of remedies or other action or inaction by the
Administrative Agent (including commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or
nonjudicial sale or other action in respect of collateral security for any of the Secured
Obligations), which results in denial or impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent to
seek a deficiency against any Borrower or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs
any of the Secured Obligations.
14. Setoff.
Pledgor hereby waives and releases, and shall not assert, any and all rights of setoff and any
similar claims or actions whatsoever now and hereafter it may have at any time against the Secured
Party or any Lender, any of the Secured Party’s or any Lender’s Affiliates, and any of the
respective successors, assigns, and participants of the Secured Party or any Lender or any
Affiliate of the Secured Party or any Lender.
15. Assignment.
All rights of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of its
successors and assigns. All obligations of each Pledgor shall bind its successors and assigns;
provided, however, no Pledgor may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations hereunder or
any interest herein, and any such purported assignment or transfer shall be null and void.
16. Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement which shall be held invalid or unenforceable shall be
ineffective without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.
17. Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the
State of New York without regard to its conflicts of law principles, except to the extent the
validity or perfection of the security interests or the remedies hereunder in respect of any
Pledged Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
- 14 -
18. Notices.
All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications (collectively, “notices”)
given to or made upon any party hereto under the provisions of this Agreement shall be as set forth
in Section 11.5 [Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication] of the Credit Agreement.
19. Specific Performance.
Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to the other rights of the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, because the Administrative
Agent’s remedies at law for failure of such Pledgor to comply with the provisions hereof relating
to the Administrative Agent’s rights (i) as permitted herein, to inspect the books and records
related to the Pledged Collateral, (ii) to receive the various notifications such Pledgor is
required to deliver hereunder, (iii) to obtain copies of agreements and documents as provided
herein with respect to the Pledged Collateral, (iv) to enforce the provisions hereof pursuant to
which the such Pledgor has appointed the Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact, and (v) to
enforce the Administrative Agent’s remedies hereunder, would be inadequate and that any such
failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, such Pledgor agrees that each such
provision hereof may be specifically enforced.
20. Voting Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.
So long as no Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under the Credit Agreement, each
Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that such Pledgor will not exercise or
will refrain from exercising any such voting and other consensual right pertaining to the Pledged
Collateral, as the case may be, if such action would have a material adverse effect on the
Administrative Agent’s Lien therein under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing and in addition thereto, the Pledgors shall not vote to enable, or take any other action
to permit, any of the Subsidiaries to issue any stock, member interests, partnership interests or
other equity securities, member interests, partnership interests or other ownership interests of
any nature or to issue any other securities, shares, capital stock, member interests, partnership
interests or other ownership interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or
exchange for any stock, member interests, partnership interests or other equity securities, member
interests, partnership interests or other ownership interests of any nature of any such Subsidiary
or to enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of the Pledgor or
the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Collateral.
21. Consent to Jurisdiction.
Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York state
or federal court sitting in New York County, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, and each Pledgor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in
- 15 -
respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or
federal court. Each Pledgor hereby waives to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Each Pledgor
hereby appoints the process agent identified below (the “Process Agent”) as its agent to receive on
behalf of such party, and its respective property, service of copies of the summons and complaint
and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding. Such service may be made by
mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Pledgor in care of the Process Agent at the
Process Agent’s address, and each Pledgor hereby authorizes and directs the Process Agent to
receive such service on its behalf. Each Pledgor agrees that a final judgment in any such action
or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions (or any political
subdivision thereof) by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided at law. Each Pledgor
further agrees that it shall, for so long as any Secured Obligation remains outstanding and until
all Commitments have expired or been termination and all Letters of Credit under the Credit
Agreement have expired, continue to retain Process Agent for the purposes set forth in this Section
21. The Process Agent is the Company, with an office on the date hereof as set forth in the Credit
Agreement. The Process Agent hereby accepts the appointment of Process Agent by the Subsidiaries
and agrees to act as Process Agent on behalf of the Subsidiaries.
22. Waiver of Jury Trial.
EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH PLEDGOR AND EACH OF THE SUBSIDIARIES HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY A JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT
OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATING
THERETO.
23. Entire Agreement; Amendments.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to a grant of a security
interest in the Pledged Collateral by any Pledgor. This Agreement may not be amended or
supplemented except by a writing signed by the Administrative Agent and the Pledgors.
24. Counterparts; Electronic Signatures.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto
in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all
such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each Pledgor acknowledges and
agrees that a telecopy or other electronic transmission (including email) to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender of the signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of any Pledgor
shall constitute effective and binding execution and delivery hereof by such Pledgor.
25. Construction.
The rules of construction contained in Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement apply to this
Agreement.

2. As security for the due and punctual payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in
full, each Debtor hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any provider of
any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service
Product shall have, and each Debtor hereby grants to and creates in favor of the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of itself, the Lenders and any provider of any Lender Provided Interest
Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product, a continuing first
priority lien on and security interest under the Code in and to the Collateral subject only to
Permitted Liens unless such are not permitted to attach to the Collateral. Without limiting the
generality of Section 4 below, each Debtor further agrees that with respect to each item of the
Collateral as to which (i) the creation of a valid and enforceable security interest is not
governed exclusively by the Code, or (ii) the perfection of a valid and enforceable first priority
security interest therein under the Code cannot be accomplished either by the Administrative Agent
taking possession thereof or by the filing in appropriate locations of appropriate Code financing
statements executed by such Debtor, such Debtor will at its expense execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent and hereby does authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and file such
documents, agreements, notices, assignments and instruments and take such further actions as may be
requested by the Administrative Agent from time to time for the purpose of creating a valid and
perfected first priority Lien on such item, subject only to Permitted Liens unless such are not
permitted to attach to the Collateral, enforceable against such Debtor and all third parties to
secure the Secured Obligations; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Debtors shall not be required to (the
“Conditionally Waived Requirements”) (a) perfect the Lender’s security interest in (i) titled
vehicles, (ii) xxxxx-xxxx bank accounts not maintained with PNC Bank, National Association holding
the Dollar Equivalent of not more than $125,000.00 in the aggregate or otherwise deemed immaterial
by the Administrative Agent, except by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement, (iii) financial
assets held in investment accounts, except by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement, (iv)
commercial tort claims which could not result in a payment of $1,000,000.00 or more to a Debtor,
except by filing of a UCC-1 financing statement describing such commercial tort claims generally,
and (v) foreign intellectual property, except to the extent filing with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office perfects such security interest, and (b) comply with requirements of the
Assignment of Claims Act of 1940 and regulations
18
promulgated thereunder (“Assignment of Claims Act”), with respect to the assignment of any
government contract involving payments to Debtors of not more than $1,000,000.00.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no security interest, a conditional security interest or
limited security interest (as applicable, pursuant to this provision) is hereby granted in the
following Collateral (collectively, the “Excluded Property”), to the extent expressly specified
below: (i) any permit, license, contract or lease to the extent that (and in each case only for so
long as) such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any applicable Laws or is prohibited
by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or gives rise to a
right on the part of the parties thereto other than a Debtor to terminate, such permit or license,
contract or lease, except to the extent that such Laws or a term in such permit, license, contract
or lease providing for such prohibition, breach, default or right of termination is ineffective or
rendered unenforceable under applicable Laws (including the Code), provided, however, that the
representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in Section 6.1.4 [No Conflict; Material
Contracts; Consents] of the Credit Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects,
and the foregoing shall not be construed to limit such representations and warranties, (ii) any
property owned by a Debtor on the date hereof or hereafter acquired that is subject to a Lien
securing a purchase money or capital or finance lease obligation permitted to be incurred pursuant
to the Credit Agreement if (and in each case only for so long as) the contract or other agreement
in which such Lien is granted (or the documentation providing for such purchase money, project
financing or capital or finance lease obligation) prohibits the creation of any other Lien on such
property, except to the extent that the term in such contract or other agreement providing for such
prohibition is ineffective or rendered unenforceable under applicable Laws (including the Code),
(iii) the voting stock (within the meaning of Treasury Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) of a Foreign
Subsidiary that is not required to be pledged by a Loan Party as Collateral for the Secured
Obligations in accordance with Section 6.1.11 [Liens in the Collateral] of the Credit Agreement and
the Pledge Agreement, and (iv) any “intent to use” trademark applications for which a statement of
use has not been filed (but only until such statement is filed); provided, further, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lien or security interest shall be, and is hereby, without any
further action by Administrative Agent or consent or agreement of any Debtor, granted in (A) any
property immediately upon the cessation of the conditions causing such property to be Excluded
Property and (B) any and all proceeds, products, substitutions and replacements of Excluded
Property to the extent such proceeds, products, substitutions and replacements do not themselves
constitute Excluded Property hereunder.
3. Each Debtor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that (a) the
Debtors have good title to the Collateral, (b) except for the security interest granted to and
created in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders hereunder
and Permitted Liens unless such are not permitted to attach to the Collateral, all the Collateral
is free and clear of any Lien, (c) the Debtors will defend the Collateral against all claims and
demands of all persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein, (d) except as
otherwise disclosed in writing by a Debtor, each Account is genuine and enforceable in accordance
with its terms and the Debtors will defend the same against all claims, demands, recoupment,
setoffs, and counterclaims at any time asserted, (e) at the time any Account becomes subject to
this Agreement, except as otherwise disclosed in writing by a Debtor, each such Account will be a
good and valid Account representing a bona fide sale of goods or services
19
by the Debtors and such goods will have been shipped to the respective account debtors or the
services will have been performed for the respective account debtors (or for those on behalf of
whom the account debtors are obligated on the Accounts), and except as otherwise disclosed in
writing by a Debtor, no such Account will at such time be subject to any claim for credit,
allowance, setoff, recoupment, defense, counterclaim or adjustment by any account debtor or
otherwise, (f) the exact legal name of each Debtor is as set forth on the signature page hereto,
and (g) the state of incorporation, formation or organization as applicable, of each Debtor is as
set forth on Schedule A hereto.
4. Each Debtor will faithfully preserve and protect the Administrative Agent’s security interest
in the Collateral as a prior perfected (to the extent perfection is required under the terms of
this Agreement) security interest under the Code, superior and prior to the rights of all third
Persons, except for holders of Permitted Liens unless such are not permitted to attach to the
Collateral; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors shall not be required to
complete the Conditionally Waived Requirements unless such conditional waiver is revoked, and will
do all such other acts and things and will, upon request therefor by the Administrative Agent,
execute, deliver, file and record, and each Debtor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to so
file, all such other documents and instruments, including, without limitation, financing
statements, security agreements, assignments and documents and powers of attorney with respect to
the Collateral, and pay all filing fees and taxes related thereto, as the Administrative Agent in
its reasonable discretion may deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to attach,
continue, preserve, perfect, and protect said security interest (including the filing at any time
or times after the date hereof of financing statements under, and in the locations advisable
pursuant to, the Code); and, each Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent, its
officers, employees and agents, or any of them, as attorneys-in-fact for each Debtor to execute,
deliver, file and record such items for such Debtor and in the Debtor’s name, place and stead to
preserve, continue, perfect and protect said security interest. This power of attorney, being
coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for the life of this Agreement.
5. Each Debtor covenants and agrees that:
(a) it will defend the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ right, title and lien on and
security interest in and to the Collateral and the Proceeds thereof against the claims and demands
of all Persons whomsoever, other than any Person claiming a right in the Collateral pursuant to an
agreement between such Person and the Administrative Agent;
(b) it will not suffer or permit to exist on any Collateral any Lien except for Permitted
Liens unless such are not permitted to attach to the Collateral;

result in a material alteration (except as permitted by the Credit Agreement) or impairment of the
Collateral or of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement;
(d) it will not sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Collateral if the
taking of such action would be prohibited under the Credit Agreement;
20
(e) except that the Debtors are not required to complete the Conditionally Waived Requirements
unless such conditional waiver is revoked, it will (i) maintain its chief executive office and keep

Administrative Agent prior notice and taken any action reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent to maintain its security interest therein, (ii) notify the Administrative Agent if an Account

Debtor’s receipt of a request therefor, (iii) deliver to the Administrative Agent possession of all
Collateral the possession of which is required to perfect the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon
or security interest therein or the possession of which grants priority over a Person filing a
financing statement with respect thereto, (iv) execute control agreements and cause other Persons
to execute acknowledgments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent evidencing the Administrative Agent’s control with respect to all Collateral the control or
acknowledgment of which perfects the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein, including
Letters of Credit, Letter of Credit Rights, Electronic Chattel Paper, Deposit Accounts and
Investment Property, and (v) keep materially accurate and complete books and records concerning the
Collateral and such other books and records as the Administrative Agent may from time to time
reasonably require;
(f) it will promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent such information and documents
relating to the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, including, without
limitation, all invoices, Documents, contracts, Chattel Paper, Instruments and other writings
pertaining to such Debtor’s contracts or the performance thereof, all of the foregoing to be
certified upon request of the Administrative Agent by an authorized officer of such Debtor;
(g) it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent if any Account involving payment to a
Debtor in excess of $1,000,000.00 arises out of contracts with the United States or any department,
agency or instrumentality thereof or any one or more of the states of the United States or any
department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, and will execute any instruments and take any steps
required by the Administrative Agent so that all monies due and to become due under such contract
shall be assigned to the Administrative Agent and notice of the assignment given to and

(h) it will not change its state of incorporation, formation or organization, as applicable

survivor of which is not the Debtor, or (ii) sell all or substantially all or its assets if
such action would be prohibited under the Credit Agreement;

notify the Administrative Agent in a writing signed by such Debtor of the details thereof and grant
to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself, the Lenders and any provider of any Lender
Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product, in
such writing a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, with such writing to be in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such writing shall
constitute a supplement to Schedule B hereto;
(l) it hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, at any time and from time to time, file
in any one or more jurisdictions financing statements that describe the Collateral, together with
continuation statements thereof and amendments thereto, without the signature of such Debtor and
which contain any information required by the Code or any other applicable statute applicable to
such jurisdiction for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statements,
continuation statements, or amendments. Each Debtor agrees to furnish any such information to the
Administrative Agent promptly upon request. Any such financing statements, continuation
statements, or amendments may be signed by Administrative Agent on behalf of such Debtor if the
Administrative Agent so elects and may be filed at any time in any jurisdiction; and
(m) it shall at any time and from time to time take such steps as the Administrative Agent may

Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights with respect to the Collateral against all Persons
other than anyone asserting rights in respect of a Permitted Lien unless such is not permitted to
attach to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable
care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Administrative
Agent takes such action for that purpose as the Debtor shall request in writing; provided that such
requested action will not, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, impair the security
interest in the Collateral created hereby or the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights in,
or the value of, the Collateral; provided, further, that such written request is received by the
Administrative Agent in sufficient time to permit the Administrative Agent to take the requested
action.
7. The pledge, security interests and other Liens and the obligations of each Debtor hereunder
shall not be discharged until Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations. The pledge, security
interests, and other Liens and the obligations of each Debtor hereunder shall not be discharged or
impaired or otherwise diminished by any failure, default, omission, or delay, willful or otherwise,
by Administrative Agent, or any other obligor on any of the Secured
22
Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing
which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Debtor or which would
otherwise operate as a discharge of the Debtor as a matter of law or equity. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Debtor hereby consents to, and the pledge, security interests,
and other Liens given by such Debtor hereunder shall not be diminished, terminated, or otherwise
similarly affected by any of the following at any time and from time to time:
(a) Any lack of genuineness, legality, validity, enforceability, or allowability (in a
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or otherwise), or any avoidance or
subordination, in whole or in part, of any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations and
regardless of any law, regulation, or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction
affecting any of the Secured Obligations, any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any rights of
the Administrative Agent or any other Person with respect thereto;
(b) Any increase, decrease, or change in the amount, nature, type or purpose of any of the
Secured Obligations (whether or not contemplated by the Loan Documents as presently constituted);
any change in the time, manner, method, or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term
of, any of the Secured Obligations; any execution or delivery of any additional Loan Documents; or

any of the Secured Obligations;
(c) Any failure to assert any breach of or default under any Loan Document or any of the
Secured Obligations; any extensions of credit in excess of the amount committed under or
contemplated by the Loan Documents, or in circumstances in which any condition to such extensions
of credit has not been satisfied; any other exercise or non-exercise, or any other failure,
omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action in connection with any exercise or
non-exercise, of any right or remedy against any Debtor or any other Person under or in connection
with any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; any refusal of payment or performance of
any of the Secured Obligations, whether or not with any reservation of rights against any Debtor;
or any application of collections (including collections resulting from realization upon any direct
or indirect security for the Secured Obligations) to other Obligations, if any, not entitled to the
benefits of this Agreement, in preference to Secured Obligations or, if any collections are applied
to Secured Obligations, any application to particular Secured Obligations;
(d) Any taking, exchange, amendment, modification, supplement, termination, subordination,
release, loss, or impairment of, or any failure to protect, perfect, or preserve the value of, or
any enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection
with, or any failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action by the Administrative
Agent or any other Person in connection with the enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of
rights or remedies under or in connection with, or, any other action or inaction by Administrative
Agent or any other Person in respect of, any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured
Obligations (including the Collateral). As used in this Agreement, “direct or indirect security”
for the Secured Obligations, and similar phrases, includes any collateral security, guaranty,
suretyship, letter of credit, capital maintenance agreement, put option, subordination agreement,
or other right or arrangement of any nature providing direct or indirect
23
assurance of payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations, made by or on behalf of
any Person;
(e) Any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, charter revocation, or
forfeiture, or other change in, restructuring or termination of the existing structure or existence
of, any Debtor or any other Person; any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar

(including any election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any
comparable law of any jurisdiction) made by Administrative Agent or any Debtor or by any other
Person in connection with any such proceeding;
(f) Any defense, setoff, or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted
by any Debtor or any other Person with respect to any Loan Document or any of the Secured
Obligations; or any discharge by operation of law or release of any Debtor or any other Person from
the performance or observance of any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; or
(g) Any other event or circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, and
whether known or unknown, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or limit the
liability of a guarantor or a surety, including each Debtor, excepting only full, strict, and
indefeasible payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in full.
8. Each Debtor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any and all defenses which
such Debtor may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of collateral,
or the like and each Debtor hereby waives any defense to or limitation on its obligations under
this Agreement arising out of or based on any event or circumstance referred to in the immediately
preceding section hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, each Debtor hereby further waives each of the following:

any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding,
or to the exercise against such Debtor or any other Person of any other right or remedy under or in
connection with any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect
security for any of the Secured Obligations; any requirement of promptness
24
or diligence on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Person; any requirement to
exhaust any remedies under or in connection with, or to mitigate the damages resulting from default
under, any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for
any of the Secured Obligations; any benefit of any statute of limitations; and any requirement of
acceptance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any requirement that such Debtor
receive notice of any such acceptance; and
(c) Any defense or other right arising by reason of any Law now or hereafter in effect in any
jurisdiction pertaining to election of remedies (including anti-deficiency laws, “one action” laws
or the like), or by reason of any election of remedies or other action or inaction by the
Administrative Agent (including commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or
nonjudicial sale or other action in respect of the Collateral for any of the Secured Obligations),
which results in denial or impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent to seek a deficiency
against such Debtor or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs any of the Secured
Obligations.
9. (a) At any time and from time to time whether or not an Event of Default then exists and
without prior notice to or consent of any Debtor, the Administrative Agent may at its option take
such actions as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate (i) to attach, perfect, continue,
preserve and protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ first priority security interest

insure the Collateral, (ii) to perform, keep, observe and render true and correct any and all
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Debtors hereunder, and (iii) to add
all liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the
foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) to the Secured Obligations, to be paid by the Debtors to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders within ten (10)
days after demand.
10. After there exists any Event of Default, and so long as it continues, under the Credit
Agreement:
(a) The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise all the rights and remedies available
to a secured party under the Code in effect at the time, and such other rights and remedies as may

any Debtor has access, (xviii) demand, xxx for, collect, compromise and give acquittances for any
and all Collateral, (xix) prosecute, defend or compromise any action, claim or proceeding with
respect to any of the Collateral, and (xx) take such other action as the Administrative Agent may
deem appropriate, including extending or modifying the terms of payment of any Debtor’s debtors.
This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for the life of this
Agreement. To the extent permitted by Law, each Debtor hereby waives all claims of damages due to
or arising from or connected with any of the rights or remedies exercised by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Agreement, except claims for physical damage to the Collateral arising from
gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall have the right to lease, sell or otherwise dispose of all
or any of the Collateral at public or private sale or sales for cash, credit or any combination
thereof, with such notice as may be required by Law (it being agreed by the Debtors that, in the
absence of any contrary requirement of Law, ten (10) days’ prior notice of a public or private sale
of Collateral shall be deemed reasonable notice), in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, all as
the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Such sales may be adjourned
from time to time with or without notice. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct
such sales on any Debtor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Debtor’s
premises without charge for such sales for such time or times as the Administrative
26
Agent may see fit. The Administrative Agent may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at
public or, if permitted by Law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price,
may set off the amount of such price against the Secured Obligations.
(c) Each Debtor, at its cost and expense (including the cost and expense of any of the
following referenced consents, approvals, etc.), will promptly execute and deliver or cause the
execution and delivery of all applications, certificates, instruments, registration statements, and
all other documents and papers the Administrative Agent may request in connection with the
obtaining of any consent, approval, registration, qualification, permit, license, accreditation, or
authorization of any other Official Body or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective
exercise of any rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Debtor agrees that in the event the Administrative Agent on
behalf of itself and/or the Lenders shall exercise its rights hereunder or pursuant to the other
Loan Documents, to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, or vote, consent, operate, or take any
other action in connection with any of the Collateral, each Debtor shall execute and deliver (or
cause to be executed and delivered) all applications, certificates, assignments and other documents
that the Administrative Agent requests to facilitate such actions and shall otherwise promptly,
fully, and diligently cooperate with the Administrative Agent and any other Persons in making any
application for the prior consent or approval of any Official Body or any other Person to the
exercise by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and/or the Lenders or any such rights
relating to all or any of the Collateral. Furthermore, because each Debtor agrees that the
remedies at law, of the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and/or the Lenders, for failure of
such Debtor to comply with this subsection (c) would be inadequate, and that any such failure would
not be adequately compensable in damages, each Debtor agrees that this Subsection (c) may be
specifically enforced.
(d) The Administrative Agent may request, without limiting the rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders otherwise provided hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, that each Debtor do any of the following: (i) give the Administrative Agent
on behalf of itself and the Lenders specific assignments of the accounts receivable of the Debtors
after such accounts receivable come into existence, and schedules of such accounts receivable, the
form and content of such assignment and schedules to be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative
Agent, and (ii) in order to better secure the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the
Lenders, to the extent permitted by Law, enter into such lockbox agreements and establish such
lockbox accounts as the Administrative Agent may require, all at the sole expense of the Debtors
and shall direct all payments from all payors due to each Debtor, to such lockbox accounts.
11. The Lien on and security interest in the Collateral granted to and created in favor of the
Administrative Agent by this Agreement shall be for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders and any provider of any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender
Provided Financial Service Product. Each of the rights, privileges, and remedies provided to the
Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise by Law with respect to the Collateral shall be
exercised by the Administrative Agent only for its own benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and
for the benefit of any provider of any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other
Lender Provided Financial Service Product, and any of the Collateral or Proceeds thereof held or
realized upon at any time by the Administrative Agent shall be applied
27
as set forth in Section 9.2.4 [Application of Proceeds] of the Credit Agreement. Each Debtor
shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any provider of any Lender
Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product for
and shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders and any
provider of any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial
Service Product any deficiency which may remain after such sale or collection.
12. If the Administrative Agent repossesses or seeks to repossess any of the Collateral pursuant
to the terms hereof because of the occurrence and continance of an Event of Default, then to the
extent it is commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent to store any Collateral on any
premises of any Debtor, such Debtor hereby agrees to lease to the Administrative Agent on a
month-to-month tenancy for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days at the Administrative Agent’s
election, at a rental rate equal to One Dollar ($1.00) per month (if such Debtor owns the
premises), and at the current rental rate per month (if such Debtor leases the premises), the
premises on which the Collateral is located; provided it is located on premises owned or leased by
such Debtor.
13. Upon Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations and the termination or expiration of all
Commitments and Letters of Credit, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and
effect, and the Administrative Agent shall thereupon promptly return to such Debtor such of the
Collateral and such other documents delivered by the Debtor or obtained by the Administrative Agent
hereunder as may then be in the Administrative Agent’s possession, subject to the rights of third
parties. Until such time, however, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
14. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in exercising any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, remedy, power
or privilege of the Administrative Agent hereunder; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No waiver of a single Event of Default
shall be deemed a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. All waivers under this Agreement must
be in writing. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement are
cumulative and in addition to any rights or remedies which it may otherwise have, and the
Administrative Agent may enforce any one or more remedies hereunder successively or concurrently at
its option.
15. All notices, statements, requests and demands given to or made upon either party hereto in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be given or made as provided in Section 11.5
[Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication] of the Credit Agreement.
16. Each Debtor agrees that as of the date hereof, all information contained on the Security
Interest Data Summary attached hereto as Schedule A is, in all material respects, accurate
and complete and contains no material omission or misrepresentation. Each Debtor shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent of any changes in the information set forth thereon; provided,
however that it shall only be obligated to update such Schedule as to intellectual property matters
that are not material on a quarterly basis.
28
17. Each Debtor acknowledges that the provisions under the Credit Agreement giving the
Administrative Agent rights of access to books, records and information concerning the Collateral
and such Debtor’s operations and providing the Administrative Agent access to such Debtor’s
premises are intended to afford the Administrative Agent with access to current information
concerning the Debtor and its activities, including without limitation, the value, nature and
location of the Collateral so that the Administrative Agent can, among other things, make an
appropriate determination after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
whether and when to exercise its other remedies hereunder and at Law, including, without
limitation, instituting a replevin action should the Debtor refuse to turn over any Collateral to
the Administrative Agent. Each Debtor further acknowledges that should such Debtor at any time
fail to promptly provide such information and access to the Administrative Agent, such Debtor
acknowledges that the Administrative Agent would have no adequate remedy at Law to promptly obtain
the same. Each Debtor agrees that the provisions hereof may be specifically enforced by the
Administrative Agent and waives any claim or defense in any such action or proceeding that the
Administrative Agent has an adequate remedy at Law.
18. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and the Debtor and each of its respective
successors and assigns, except that no Debtor may assign or transfer its obligations hereunder or
any interest herein.
19. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of New York and
for all purposes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of said State
excluding its rules relating to conflicts of law.
20. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall
not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
21. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York state
or federal court sitting in New York County, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, and each Debtor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. Each
Debtor hereby waives to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Each Debtor hereby appoints the process
agent identified below (the “Process Agent”) as its agent to receive on behalf of such party, and
its respective property, service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which
may be served in any action or proceeding. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a
copy of such process to the Debtor in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s address, and
each Debtor hereby authorizes and directs the Process Agent to receive such service on its behalf.
Each Debtor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions (or any political subdivision thereof) by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided at law. Each Debtor further agrees that it shall, for so
long as any commitment or any obligation of any Loan Party to any Lender remains outstanding,
continue to retain Process Agent for the purposes set forth in this Section 21. The Process Agent
is the Company, with an office on the date hereof
29
as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Process Agent hereby accepts the appointment of
Process Agent by the Debtors and agrees to act as Process Agent on behalf of the Debtors.
22. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY A
JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATING THERETO.
23. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto
in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all
such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each Debtor acknowledges and
agrees that a telecopy or other electronic transmission (including email) to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender of the signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of such Debtor
shall constitute effective and binding execution and delivery hereof by such Debtor.
24. Additional Debtors. It is anticipated that additional Persons will from time to time become
Subsidiaries of the Borrowers or Guarantors and may, under the terms of the Credit Agreement, be
thereupon required to join this Agreement as Debtors. It is acknowledged and agreed that each such
Person will become a Debtor hereunder and will be bound hereby simply by executing and delivering
to Administrative Agent a Guarantor Joinder in the form of Exhibit 1.1(G)(1) to the Credit
Agreement or a Borrower Joinder in the form of Exhibit 1.1(B), as applicable. In addition,
at the time of such joinder, a new Schedule A hereto shall be provided to Administrative
Agent including such new Debtor’s relevant information.

EXHIBIT 2.1
LENDER JOINDER AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
THIS LENDER JOINDER AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (the “Joinder”) is made as of ____________, 20__
(the “Effective Date”) by ____________________________, (the “New Lender”).
Background
Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of October 28, 2010 among INVACARE
CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation, the other Borrowers and the Guarantors now or hereafter party
thereto, Lenders now or hereafter party thereto and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) (as the same has been and may hereafter be
modified, supplemented, amended or restated, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms defined in
the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein.
Agreement
In consideration of the Lenders permitting the New Lender to become a Lender under the Credit
Agreement, the New Lender agrees that effective as of the Effective Date it shall become, and shall
be deemed to be, a Lender under the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents and
agrees that from the Effective Date and so long as the New Lender remains a party to the Credit
Agreement, such New Lender shall assume the obligations of a Lender under and perform, comply with
and be bound by each of the provisions of the Credit Agreement which are stated to apply to a
