For purposes of the foregoing, each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in
the Leverage Ratio shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the date of
delivery to the Administrative Agent of such consolidated financial statements indicating such
change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change;
provided that the Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be in Category I at any time (a) that
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (b) at the option of the Administrative Agent
or at the request of the Required Lenders if the Borrower fails to deliver the consolidated
financial statements required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 5.01(i) or
Section 5.01(ii), during the period from the expiration of the time for delivery thereof
until such consolidated financial statements are delivered. In the event that any financial
statement delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(i) or Section 5.01(ii), as applicable,
is shown to be inaccurate when delivered (regardless of whether the Commitments are in effect when
such inaccuracy is discovered) and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application
of a higher Applicable Margin for any such period (an “Applicable Period”) than the
Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, and only in such case, then the Borrower
shall immediately (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent corrected financial statements for such
Applicable Period, (ii) determine the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period based upon the
corrected financial statements and (iii) immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued
additional interest owning as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable
Period. This provision is in addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
with respect to Section 2.13(c) and their other respective rights under this Agreement and
shall not limit the right of the Administrative Agent to declare an Event of Default. Financial
statements shall not be deemed to be “inaccurate” solely because the same are subsequently restated
to reflect changes in GAAP.
“Applicable Percentage” means, with respect to any Lender, the percentage of the total
Commitments represented by such Lender’s Commitment; provided that in the case of
Section 2.21 when a Defaulting Lender shall exist, “Applicable Percentage” shall mean the
percentage of the total Commitments (disregarding any Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) represented
by such Lender’s Commitment. If the Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable
Percentages shall be determined based upon the Commitments most recently in effect, giving effect
to any assignments and to any Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender at the time of determination.
-2-
“Assignment and Assumption” means an assignment and assumption entered into by a

the London interbank market.
“Capital Lease Obligations” of any Person means the obligations of such Person to pay
rent or other amounts under any lease of (or other arrangement conveying the right to use) real or
personal property, or a combination thereof, which obligations are required to be classified and

such obligations shall be the capitalized amount thereof determined in accordance with GAAP.
“Cash Interest Expense” means interest expense determined under GAAP, less
amortization of deferred loan costs and original issue discounts.

plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) the Adjusted One Month LIBO Rate. Any change in the CB Floating Rate due to a

exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving
Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less
than $5,000,000. At the time that each CBFR Revolving
-18-
Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple
of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided that a CBFR Revolving Borrowing may be
in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that
is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section
2.06(e). Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000
and not less than $1,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same
time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 10 Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowings outstanding.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled
to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Revolving Borrowing if the Interest Period
requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.
Section 2.03 Requests for Revolving Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Houston time, three Business Days before the date of the
proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of a CBFR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Houston time,
on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of a CBFR Borrowing to
finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e) may be
given not later than 10:00 a.m., Houston time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such
telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery
or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request. Each such telephonic and
written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section
2.02:
(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;
(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a CBFR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be
applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
term “Interest Period”; and
(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be
disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.07.
If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving
Borrowing shall be a CBFR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any
requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance
with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of
the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.05 Swingline Loans.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make
Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $40,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total Credit Exposures
exceeding the total Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required
to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits
and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and
reborrow Swingline Loans.
(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 3:00 p.m., Houston time, on the day of
a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested
date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The
Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the
Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means
of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the
case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 4:00 p.m., Houston time, on the
requested date of such Swingline Loan.
(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later
than 10:00 a.m., Houston time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on
such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall
specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon
receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender,
specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.
Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above,
to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that
its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the
occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that
each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made
by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations
of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the
amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of
any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter
payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the
Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of
the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds
of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any
such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the
-20-
Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph
and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment
so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable,
if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The
purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the
Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
Section 2.06 Letters of Credit.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may
request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the
Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other
agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank
relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request
the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter
of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication,
if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire
(which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the
name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to
prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the
Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in
connection with any request for a Letter of Credit; provided that (a) in the event of any
conflict between such application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control, and (b) any
grant of a Lien contained in such application shall be ineffective so long as this Agreement
remains in place. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and
upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be
deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $175,000,000 and (ii) the total Credit Exposures
shall not exceed the total Commitments.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of
Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or
extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date
provided, a Letter of Credit may provide for a later expiration date if, simultaneously with the issuance
(or if applicable, the renewal) thereof, the Borrower pledges to the Issuing Bank, in a manner
-21-
reasonably satisfactory to it, funds in an account with the Issuing Bank equal to 105% of the face
amount of such Letter of Credit.
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the
Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby
acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.
In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank,
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not
reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any
reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in
respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever.
(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative
Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., Houston time, on the date
that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC
Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., Houston time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been
received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., Houston
time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received
prior to 9:00 a.m., Houston time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately
following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to
such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than
$1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in
accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 2.05 that such payment be financed with a
CBFR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed,
the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting
CBFR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due,
the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment
then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.
Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its
Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly
following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the
extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to
such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a
-22-
Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than
the funding of CBFR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute
a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and
shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all
circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other
document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the
Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does
not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of
this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against,
the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the
Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by
reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or
failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the
preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or
delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit
(including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank;
provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from
liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages,
claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable
law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when
determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the
terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.
In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree
that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion,
either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and
make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of
such Letter of Credit.
(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by
telephone (confirmed electronically or by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the
Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure
to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its
-23-
obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement
is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date
such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC
Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to CBFR Revolving Loans; provided that,
if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph
shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of
payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall
be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by
written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the
successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement
of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall
pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section
2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing
Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with
respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term
“Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to
such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement
of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with
respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to
issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on
the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
holding at least fifty percent (50%) of the Commitments (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 25% of the total LC Exposure)
demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in
an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the
benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued
and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral
shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable,
without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with
respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of ARTICLE VII. Such deposit shall
be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than
any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the
option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such
deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or
-24-
profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account
shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for
which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the
satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or,
if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC
Exposure representing greater than 25% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other
obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to
provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower
within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
(k) Existing Letters of Credit. The letters of credit described on Schedule
2.06(k) will for all purposes be considered Letters of Credit under this Credit Agreement.
Section 2.07 Funding of Borrowings.
(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof
by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., Houston time, to the account of the
Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders;
provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The
Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the
amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the
Administrative Agent in Houston and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request;
provided that CBFR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement
as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing
Bank.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower 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 Borrower to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the
Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest
rate applicable to such Borrowing (without any obligation to pay any break funding payment under
Section 2.16 in connection with such payment). If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. If the
Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, it shall not relieve the defaulting Lender
of its legal responsibility for its default.
-25-
Section 2.08 Interest Elections.
(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing
Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as
specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing
to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may
elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different
options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such
portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing,
and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section
shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.
(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under
Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting
from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic
Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or
telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by
the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.
(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions
thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information
to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each
resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a CBFR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
Borrowing; and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration.
(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall
advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
-26-
(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such
Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
converted to a CBFR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required
Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no
outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless
repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to a CBFR Borrowing at the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto.
Section 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
(a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments;
provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not
terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the
Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Credit Exposure would exceed the total
Commitments; provided that for purposes of this paragraph, the LC Exposure shall be deemed
to be zero if there exists either cash collateral equal to 105% of the LC Exposure or one or more
back-up letters of credit for the benefit of the Issuing Bank in form and substance and issued by
issuer(s) satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion. Upon the provision of such cash
collateral or back-up letters of credit and the payment in full of all Obligations, then the
Lenders shall be released from their obligations under Section 2.06(d), and all letter of
credit fees accruing after the termination of the Commitments shall be for the account of the
Issuing Bank.
(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce
the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the
effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section
shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by
the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of
the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitments.
Section 2.10 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender the then-unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity
Date and (ii) subject to Section 2.05, to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and
-27-
the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month
and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each
date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then
outstanding.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice a record evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including
the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount of
each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the
amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower
to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the
Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such
Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter,
the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including
after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes
in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a
registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
Section 2.11 Prepayment of Loans.
(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Revolving Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b)
of this Section.
(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a
Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment
hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m.,
Houston time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of
a CBFR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Houston time, one Business Day before the
date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00
noon, Houston time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each
Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is
given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by
-28-
Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination
is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice
relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that
would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided
in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans
included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the
extent required by Section 2.13.
Section 2.12 Fees.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Commitment Fee Rate described in the definition of
“Applicable Margin” on the daily undrawn amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period
from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment
terminates. The face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit shall be considered to be drawn
under the Commitment for purposes of calculating commitment fees. Accrued commitment fees shall be
payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the
date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the
Effective Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall
be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day).
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender
a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at
the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving
Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective
Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the
date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting
fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC
Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the
period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination
of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing
Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through
and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on
the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after
the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the
Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate
shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph
shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
-29-
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable
in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent.
(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds,
to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for
distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall
not be refundable under any circumstances.
Section 2.13 Interest.
(a) The Loans comprising each CBFR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear
interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or
other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity,
upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before
judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.0% plus
the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section
or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.0% plus the rate applicable to CBFR Loans as provided in
paragraph (a) of this Section.
(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any
repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a CBFR Revolving Loan prior to the
end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall
be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of
any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued
interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the CB Floating Rate at times when the CB Floating Rate is based
on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap
year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day). The applicable CB Floating Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate
shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
Section 2.14
Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
-30-
ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest
Period; or
(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO
Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or
its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by
telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing
to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and
(ii) any request for a new Eurodollar Borrowing shall be made as a CBFR Borrowing.
Section 2.15 Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the
Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or
(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any
other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans 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 Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to
increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will
pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or an after-tax basis for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if
any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below
that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s
or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to
time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional
-31-
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s holding company on an after-tax basis for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be,
as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt
thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right
to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate
a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions
incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a
result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or
prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto
(regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in
accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the
loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss,
cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be
the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount
of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable
to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current
Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the
period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest
which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender
would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable
amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting
forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall
be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay
such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
-32-
Section 2.17 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be
made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes;
provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower
shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law.
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank,
within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or
with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section) 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 Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent
on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such
payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate.
(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower
or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section
2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17
with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that
the Borrower,
-33-
upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the
amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the
Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender
to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(g) In the case of a Lender that would be subject to withholding tax imposed by FATCA on
payments made on the account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder if such Lender fails to
comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall provide such documentation prescribed by
applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower as may be
necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such
Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct
and withhold from any such payments.
Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of
principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under
Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00
noon, Houston time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or
counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for
purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative
Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx, except payments to be made directly to the
Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to
Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.17 and Section 9.03 shall
be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any
such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient
promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in
the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such
extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then
due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of
interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance
with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of
principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to
such parties.
-34-
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of
a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any
other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline
Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary 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 Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline
Loans; 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, without interest, and (ii) the provisions
of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or
any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
The Borrower 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 the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of
such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the
Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank 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
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation.
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.05(c), Section 2.06(d), Section 2.06(e), Section 2.07(b),
Section 2.18(d), or Section 9.03(c) then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion and notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline
Lender or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account
as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under
-35-
such Sections; in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the
Administrative Agent in its discretion.
Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to
designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the
judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, as the case may be, in the future
and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then
the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, 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 Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall
have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being
assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender
shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section
2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments in the future. A Lender shall not be
required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and
delegation cease to apply.
(c) If any Lender fails to consent to an issue requiring approval in an instance where Lenders
holding greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Loans and unused Commitments have provided
a consent, then the Borrower may require such non-consenting
Lender to assign all of its outstanding Loans and unused Commitments, at par, to another
lender acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent which is not an Affiliate of the
Borrower.
Section 2.20 Increase in the Commitments. The Borrower may on no more than two occasions during
the period beginning on the Effective Date to and including the date that is six months prior to
the Maturity Date, by written notice to the Administrative Agent
-36-
executed by the Borrower and one
or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section being
called an “Increasing Lender”), which may include any Lender, cause the Commitments to be
extended by the Increasing Lenders (or cause the Commitments of the Increasing Lenders to be
increased, as the case may be) in an amount for each Increasing Lender set forth in such notice;
provided, that (i) each extension of new Commitments or increase in existing Commitments
pursuant to this paragraph shall result in the aggregate Commitments being increased by no less
than $10,000,000, (ii) no extension of new Commitments or increase in existing Commitments pursuant
to this paragraph may result in the aggregate Commitments exceeding $600,000,000, (iii) each
Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the
Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (iv) each Increasing
Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and
delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed accession agreement in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “Accession Agreement”). New
Commitments and increases in Commitments shall become effective on the date specified in the
applicable notices delivered pursuant to this paragraph. Upon the effectiveness of any Accession
Agreement to which any Increasing Lender is a party, (i) such Increasing Lender shall thereafter be
deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges
accorded a Lender hereunder and subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii)
Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the Commitment of such
Increasing Lender as provided in such Accession Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of any increase
pursuant to this Section in the Commitment of a Lender already a party hereto, Schedule
2.01 shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the increased Commitment of such Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the aggregate Commitments (or in the Commitment of
any Lender) shall become effective under this Section unless, on the date of such increase, the
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate, dated as of the effective date of such
increase and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, to the effect that the conditions set
forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in
such paragraphs to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such increase and attaching
resolutions of the Borrower approving such increase). Following any extension of a new Commitment
or increase of a Lender’s Commitment pursuant to this paragraph, any Revolving Loans outstanding
prior to the effectiveness of such increase or extension shall continue to be outstanding until the
ends of the respective Interests Periods applicable thereto, and shall then be repaid and, if the
Borrower shall so elect, refinanced with new Revolving Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01
ratably in accordance with the Commitments in effect following such extension or increase.
Section 2.21 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a
Defaulting Lender:
(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);
(b) the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder
(including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to
Section 9.02),
-37-
provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or
each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders
shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, unless the effect of same is to eliminate the
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment (which shall require only the consent of the Lenders that are not
Defaulting Lenders);
(c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender then:
(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated
among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages
but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures
plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total
of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section
4.02 are satisfied at such time;
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially,
be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the
Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash
collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial
reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure pursuant to Section 2.21(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any
fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is
cash collateralized;
(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to
Section 2.21(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section
2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such
non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and
(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor
reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or
remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would
have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of
credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash
collateralized and/or reallocated; and
(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required
to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase
any Letter of Credit, unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure will be 100%
covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral
-38-
will be provided by
the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(c), and participating interests in any such
newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among
non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(c)(i) (and Defaulting
Lenders shall not participate therein).
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline
Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such
Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall
be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender
shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the
Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans
in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether

statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2010, reported on by PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants. Such
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results
of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and
for such periods in accordance with GAAP.
(b) Since December 31, 2010, there has been no material adverse change in the business,
assets, operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(a) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests
in, all its real and personal property material to its business, except for minor defects in title
that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize
such properties for their intended purposes.
(b) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks,
tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the

Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters.
(a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental

expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the
Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.
(b) Except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not

subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any

compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or
its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property,
except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

“investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of
1940.

on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.10 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when
taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to
occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of
all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of

financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $30,000,000 the fair market value
of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of
all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial

financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or
delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any
material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents
only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable at the time.
Section 3.12 Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.12 sets forth the name of, and the ownership
interest of the Borrower and any Subsidiary in, each Subsidiary and identifies which are Foreign
Subsidiaries, Excluded Subsidiaries and Guarantors as of the Effective Date. The
-41-
shares of capital
stock or other ownership interests of each Subsidiary are owned by the Borrower, directly or
indirectly, free and clear of all Liens.

one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or
carrying Margin Stock (as defined in Registration U of the Board). The proceeds of the Loans and
the Letters of Credit will not be used in a way that will result in any of the Loans or the Letters
of Credit under this Agreement being violative of Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board.
Section 3.14 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used to repay existing
Indebtedness, for working capital and for general corporate purposes (including, without
limitation, Permitted Acquisitions) of, in each case, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries. The

Loan Party (individually and on a consolidated basis) will exceed its debts and liabilities; (b)

liability of its debts and other liabilities; (c) each Loan Party (individually and on a
consolidated basis) will be able to pay its debts and liabilities as they become absolute and
mature; and (d) each Loan Party (individually and on a consolidated basis the Borrower and the

time the Leverage Ratio on the date of the declaration of a dividend is greater than 3.75 to 1.0,

such dividend, the Borrower may declare and pay dividends with respect to its Equity Interests not

declaration of a dividend or following the making of any other Restricted Payment is less than or
equal to 3.75 to 1.0, and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists at the time or is
created as a result of any such Restricted Payment, the provisions of this Section will not apply
to Restricted Payments. The Leverage Ratio will be determined pursuant to the most recent
quarterly compliance certificate; provided, that if such ratio decreases below 3.75 to 1.0
during any quarter solely as a result of a decrease in Total Debt or an increase in unrestricted
cash of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, then such ratio, until the next quarterly compliance
certificate, for purposes of this subsection (a) may, at the Borrower’s option, be
determined pursuant to a certificate calculating such ratio and executed by an officer of the
Borrower.
-53-
(b) The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, make or agree to make,
directly or indirectly, any payment or other distribution (whether in cash, securities or other

(ii) regularly scheduled and other mandatory interest and principal payments as and
when due in respect of any Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01;

sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness to the extent such
sale or transfer is permitted;
(v) the payment of Indebtedness of any Person acquired by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary that exists on the date of such acquisition; provided that such Person

are no outstanding Revolving Loans;
(vii) payment of Indebtedness that matures after the Maturity Date; provided
that (A) no Indebtedness described in clause (vi) above is outstanding, other than (1)
non-public Indebtedness disclosed on the Effective Date or (2) other non-public Indebtedness
incurred after the Effective Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000, and (B)
there are no outstanding Revolving Loans;
(viii) prepayments and redemptions of Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary
with proceeds of any issuance and sale of common stock of the Borrower;
(ix) exchanges of common stock of the Borrower for Indebtedness of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary; and
(x) other prepayments by the Borrower or any Subsidiary not permitted by any other
clause of this Section 6.09; provided that no Default exists at the time and
no such prepayment or redemption shall be made unless as of the date of the most recently
delivered financial statements, the Borrower has at least $50,000,000 in liquidity in the
form of unrestricted cash and Permitted Investments and at least $150,000,000 of total
liquidity, including (A) unrestricted cash, (B) Permitted Investments and (C) the difference
between the aggregate Commitments as of such date and the aggregate Credit
Exposure as of such date, and the Borrower or any Subsidiary has made such other
prepayments permitted under this clause (including the proposed prepayment) of not more than
$400,000,000 in the aggregate.

permit any Subsidiary to, sell, lease or otherwise transfer any property or assets to, or purchase,
lease or otherwise acquire any property or assets from, or otherwise engage in any other

loan or advance involving a Subsidiary that is permitted hereunder, (d) any Restricted Payment
permitted by Section 6.09 and (e) issuances of Equity Interests of the Borrower in

or assets, or (b) the ability of any Subsidiary to pay dividends or other distributions with
respect to any shares of its capital stock or to make or repay loans or advances to the Borrower or
any other Subsidiary or to guarantee Indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary that are,
in each case in this clause (b), more restrictive than that which exists as of the Effective Date;
provided that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) restrictions and conditions imposed by
law or by any Loan Document, (ii) restrictions and conditions existing on the Effective Date
identified on Schedule 6.11 (but shall apply to any extension or renewal of, or any
amendment or modification expanding the scope of, any such restriction or commitment), (iii)

modification of each indenture (including any supplemental indentures entered into pursuant to the
terms thereof) to which the Borrower is a party on the Effective Date and that is identified on the
schedule referenced in clause (ii) above, so long as such restrictions and conditions are not more
restrictive than those in the indenture being extended, renewed, replaced, amended or modified and
(iv) the foregoing shall not apply to customary restrictions and conditions contained in agreements
relating to the sale of a Subsidiary pending such sale, provided such restrictions and
conditions apply only to the Subsidiary that is to be sold and such sale is permitted hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent
as its agent 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, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The bank 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 such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as
directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly
set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be
liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as 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 with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written
notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and 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, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection
herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in ARTICLE IV or
-58-
elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent 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 be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), 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.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
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 its duties and exercise its rights and powers
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs
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.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 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 Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent
which shall be a bank with an office in Houston,
Texas, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the
provisions of this Article and
Section 9.03 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 taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative
Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information
as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in
-59-
taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.02
Waivers; Amendments; Release of Guarantors.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they
would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by
the Borrower there from shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a
waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing
Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required
Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without
the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement
or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the
principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable
hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled
date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,
(iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata
sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) permit an
Interest Period with a duration in excess of six (6) months, (vi) change any provisions of
Section 2.21 or the definition of “Defaulting Lender”, or (vii) change any of the
provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof
specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights
hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or
otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, waive the provisions of ARTICLE VII(i) and (j)
with respect to any Non-Guarantor if the Borrower determines in good faith that the termination of
the existence of such Non-Guarantor is in the interest of the Borrower and not materially
disadvantageous to the Lenders.
(c) Notwithstanding any contrary position in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if (a)
a Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary and (b) at the time such Guarantor became a non-subsidiary,
no Event of Default then existed, then such Guarantor shall be automatically released from its
obligations under the Guarantee Agreement to which it is a party, without need for any formal
action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender; and the Administrative Agent will confirm such
release by a notice to the Borrower upon receipt of a request therefor.
-61-
Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges
and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement,
including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit
issued hereunder, including all such out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender,
and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement
or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions
contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds there from
(including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit
if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of
such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on
or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental
Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party 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 are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to (i)
the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage (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, the Issuing Bank or
the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, and (ii) the Administrative Agent under paragraph
-62-
(a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay its pro-rata share of such amount to
the Administrative Agent.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand
therefor.
WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES
HERETO THAT EACH PERSON TO BE INDEMNIFIED HEREUNDER SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST
ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS AND DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE ORDINARY,
SOLE AND CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PERSON.
Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.
(a) 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 (including any
Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without
such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights
or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing
Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of
this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may 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) with the prior
written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:
(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required
for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or, if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, provided further that the
Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto
by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having
received written notice thereof;
-63-
(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Lender or an Affiliate of
a Lender; and
(C) the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the
amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such
consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h)
or (i) of ARTICLE VII has occurred and is continuing;
(B) 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;
(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500; and
(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, 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, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption 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 2.15, Section
2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 9.03; provided that such release
shall not affect any legal responsibility for such Lender’s actions and failures to act
occurring before the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption). Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this Section 9.04 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 paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
-64-
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the
Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire
(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment
required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register;
provided that if either the Assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to
make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), Section
2.06(d), Section 2.06(e), Section 2.07(b), Section 2.18(d), or
Section 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and
until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.
No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded
in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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 described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.
Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 2.17 to
the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.
-65-
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have
been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s
express 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 2.17 unless
the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section
2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.
(d) 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 without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such
pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto
and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and
issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or
on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may
have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any
credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal
of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement
is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments
have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.15, Section 2.16,
Section 2.17, Section 9.03, Section 9.12 and ARTICLE VIII shall
survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which may be
delivered by electronic or telecopy transmission and each of which shall constitute an original,
but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. The Loan Documents and
any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute
the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements
and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Delivery of an
-66-
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement
by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by
such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all
the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and
although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may
have.

otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or
its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
-67-
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of

Section 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS

CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS

Section 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction
of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
Section 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by
any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with
the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement

substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement,
(ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 9.04(d), or (iii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and
its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i)
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis
from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other
than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in
the case of information received from the Borrower after the Effective Date, such information is
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care
-68-
to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential
information.
Section 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no
event whatsoever shall the amount contracted for, charged, paid or otherwise agreed to be paid to
or received by the Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money under this
Agreement or any Loan Document or otherwise exceed the maximum non-usurious rate pursuant to
applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and if at any time the interest rate applicable to any
Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan
under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the Maximum Rate, the rate
of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect
thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges
that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in
respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor)
until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to
the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Anything in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not be required to pay
unearned interest and shall never be required to pay interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum
Rate, and if the effective rate of interest which would otherwise be payable under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents would exceed the Maximum Rate, or if the Agent or any Lender shall
receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which
would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or Loan
Document to a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, then (a) the amount of interest which would
otherwise be payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any Loan Document shall be reduced to
the amount allowed under applicable law, and (b) any unearned interest paid by the Borrower or any
interest paid by the Borrower in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be credited on the principal of
(or, if the principal amount shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower). It is
further agreed that, without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest
contracted for, charged or received by any Lender under this
Agreement or any Loan Document, are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate
exceeds the Maximum Rate, and shall be made by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts
during the period of the full stated term of the Loans evidenced by said Notes all interest at any
time contracted for, charged or received by such Lender in connection therewith.
Section 9.14 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot
Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”)
hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes
the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify
the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

EXHIBIT 1.01A
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
GUARANTEE AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTEE AGREEMENT (this “
Guarantee”) dated as of
March 18, 2011, made by each of the undersigned Subsidiaries of the Borrower (as defined below) and
such other Subsidiaries of the Borrower which hereafter become parties to this Guarantee (each, a
“
Guarantor,” and collectively, the “
Guarantors”), in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A. as Administrative Agent (the “
Agent”) for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to that
certain Second Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith (the
“
Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders.
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to make Loans to
Service
Corporation International, a Texas corporation (the “
Borrower”) in a manner and upon the
terms and conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the Agent requires that the Guarantors
execute a guarantee agreement guaranteeing the Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements herein and in order to induce
the Lenders to make the Loans pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors hereby agree as
follows:
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
respective meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement.
Section 2. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor (not merely as a surety or guarantor of
collection) hereby jointly, severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees the punctual
payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, as an installment, by prepayment or
by demand, acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower heretofore or hereafter
existing. If any or all of the Obligations become due and payable under the Credit Agreement, the
Guarantors jointly and severally and unconditionally promise to pay such Obligations, on demand,
together with any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), which may be
incurred by the Agent in collecting any of the Obligations and in connection with the protection,
defense and enforcement of any rights under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document
(the “Expenses”). The Guarantors guarantee that the Obligations shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Obligations include, without limitation,
interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
laws of any jurisdiction at the rate or rates provided in the Credit Agreement. The Agent shall
not be required to exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against the Borrower or any other
person or entity or any collateral prior to any demand or other action hereunder against the Guarantors. The Guarantors agree that, as between the Guarantors
and the Agent, the Obligations may be declared to be due and payable for the purposes of this
Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition which may prevent, delay or
vitiate any declaration as regards the Borrower and that in the event of a declaration or attempted
declaration, the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable by the Guarantors for the
purposes of this Guarantee and each Guarantor shall forthwith pay the Obligations specified by the
Agent to be paid as provided in the Credit Agreement without further notice or demand.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Credit Agreement, any Loan Document or any
other document or any other agreement, security document or instrument relating hereto or thereto
to the contrary, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall never exceed the maximum
amount that said Guarantor could pay without having such payment set aside as a fraudulent transfer
or fraudulent conveyance or similar action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or applicable state or
foreign law.
Section 3. Guarantee Absolute. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guarantee is absolute
and unconditional irrespective of: (a) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or
in any other term of, the Credit Agreement or the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of
or any consent to departure from any of the terms of the Credit Agreement or the Obligations,
including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon; (b) any release or amendment or
waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guarantee or support document, or any exchange,
release or non-perfection of any collateral, for the Credit Agreement or the Obligations; (c) any
present or future law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction or of any agency thereof purporting
to reduce, amend, restructure or otherwise affect any term of the Credit Agreement or the
Obligations; (d) without being limited by the foregoing, any lack of validity or enforceability of
the Credit Agreement or the Obligations; (e) any other setoff, defense or counterclaim whatsoever
(in any case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) with respect to the Credit
Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby which might constitute a legal or equitable
defense available to, or discharge of, the Borrower or other Guarantors and (f) any claim or
assertion that any payment by any Guarantor hereunder should be set aside pursuant to Section
2 in connection with any stay, injunction or other prohibition or event, in which case each
Guarantor shall be unconditionally required to pay all amounts demanded of it hereunder prior to
any determination of the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder in accordance with
Section 2 and the recipient of such payment, if so required by a final non-appealable court
of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment, shall then be liable for the
refund of any excess amounts. If any such rebate or refund is ever required, all other Guarantors
shall be fully liable for the repayment thereof to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law.
Section 4. Guarantee Irrevocable. This Guarantee is a continuing guarantee of the payment of all
Obligations now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement and shall remain in full force and
effect until payment in full of all Obligations and other amounts payable under this Guarantee and
until all Commitments of the Lenders to make Loans under the Credit Agreement shall be terminated
in accordance with the terms thereof and the Credit Agreement is no longer in effect.
Section 5. Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be automatically
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by the Agent on the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation
or reorganization of any of the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any Person that is a party to the Loan
Documents, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian,
receiver, trustee or other
officer with similar powers with respect to any of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person
that is a party to the Loan Documents, or otherwise, all as though the payment had not been made.
Section 6. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall not exercise any rights which
it may acquire by way of subrogation, by any payment made under this Guarantee or otherwise, until
all the Obligations have been paid in full and the Credit Agreement is no longer in effect. Any
amounts paid to a Guarantor on account of subrogation rights under this Guarantee at any time when
all the Obligations have not been paid in full, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent
and shall promptly be paid to the Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured or absolute or contingent, in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement. If a Guarantor has made a payment to the Agent hereunder of all or any part of the
Obligations and all the Obligations are paid in full and the Credit Agreement is no longer in
effect, the Agent shall, at such Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to the Guarantor the
appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to
evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting
from the payment.
Section 7. Subordination. Any liabilities owed by the Borrower to the Guarantors in connection
with any extension of credit or financial accommodation by the Guarantors to or for the account of
the Borrower, including but not limited to interest accruing at the agreed contract rate after the
commencement of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, are hereby subordinated to the Obligations, and
such liabilities of the Borrower to the Guarantors, if the Agent so requests, shall be collected,
enforced and received by the Guarantors as trustee for the Agent and shall be paid over to the
Agent on account of the Obligations.
Section 8. Certain Taxes. The Guarantors further agree that all payments to be made hereunder
shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without deduction for
Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Agent hereunder,
the amounts so payable to the Agent shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the
Agent (after payment of all Taxes) the amounts payable hereunder in the full amounts so to be paid.
Whenever any Tax is paid by a Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter, such Guarantor shall
send the Agent an official receipt showing payment thereof, together with such additional
documentary evidence as may be required from time to time by the Agent.
Section 9. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Guarantors represents and warrants that: (a) this Guarantee (i) has been
authorized by all necessary action; (ii) does not violate any agreement, instrument, law,
regulation or order applicable to it; (iii) does not require the consent or approval of any Person,
or any filing or registration of any kind; and (iv) is the legal, valid and binding obligation of
such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except to the
extent that enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally; and (b) in executing and delivering this Guarantee, such
Guarantor has not relied and will not rely upon any representations or warranties of the Agent not
embodied herein or any acts heretofore or hereafter taken by the Agent (including but not limited
to any review by the Agent of the affairs of the Borrower).
Section 10.
Remedies Generally. The remedies provided in this Guarantee are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
Section 11. Setoff. Each Guarantor agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any
right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim the Agent or the Lenders may otherwise have, the
Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled, at their option, to offset balances (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by them for the accounts of the Guarantors at
any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s offices, in U.S. dollars or in any other currency, against any
amount payable by the Guarantors under this Guarantee which is not paid when due, in which case it
shall promptly notify the Guarantors thereof; provided that the Agent’s or any Lender’s
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.
Section 12. Formalities. Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance
and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations, the Credit Agreement and this
Guarantee and any liability to which the Credit Agreement and this Guarantee applies or may apply,
and waives presentment, demand of payment, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration,
notice of dishonor or nonpayment, and any requirement that the Agent institute suit, collection
proceedings or take any other action to collect the Obligations, including any requirement that the
Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien against any Property subject
thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person (including
the other Guarantors) or any collateral (it being the intention of the Agent and each Guarantor
that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee are to be a guarantee of payment and
not of collection) or that the Borrower or any other Person (including the other Guarantors) be
joined in any action hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby waives marshaling of assets and liabilities,
notice by the Agent of the creation of any Indebtedness or liability to which it applies or may
apply, any amounts received by the Agent, notice of disposition or substitution of collateral and
of the creation, advancement, increase, existence, extension, renewal, rearrangement and/or
modification of the Obligations.
Section 13. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guarantee, nor consent to any release by
any Guarantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Agent and
such Guarantor, and then the waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Agent to exercise, and no
delay in exercising, any right under this Guarantee shall operate as a waiver or preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
Section 14. Expenses. The Guarantors shall reimburse the Agent on demand for all Expenses without
duplication of any reimbursements affected under the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the
Guarantors under this Section shall survive the termination of this Guarantee.
Section 15. Assignment. This Guarantee shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Guarantors, the Agent and their respective successors and assigns; provided that the
Guarantors may not assign or transfer their respective rights or obligations under this Guarantee.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (a) the obligations of the Guarantors under this
Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect and shall be binding on any successor partnership
and on previous partners and their respective estates if any of the
Guarantors is a partnership,
regardless of any change in the partnership as a result of death, retirement or otherwise; and (b)
the Agent may assign, or otherwise transfer its rights under the Credit Agreement to any other
person or entity in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and the other person or
entity shall then become vested with all the rights granted to the Agent in this Guarantee or
otherwise. Any Guarantor may merge into the Borrower or another Guarantor as provided in the
Credit Agreement.
Section 16. Captions. The headings and captions in this Guarantee are for convenience only and
shall not affect the interpretation or construction of this Guarantee.
Section 17. Governing Law, Etc. THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. EACH GUARANTOR CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND
VENUE OF THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON. SERVICE OF PROCESS BY THE
AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE BINDING ON EACH GUARANTOR IF SENT TO SUCH
GUARANTOR BY REGISTERED MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED BELOW OR AS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY SUCH
GUARANTOR FROM TIME TO TIME. EACH GUARANTOR WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO JURY TRIAL IN ANY
ACTION RELATED TO THIS GUARANTEE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND FURTHER WAIVES ANY
RIGHT TO INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATED TO THIS GUARANTEE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY IN ANY SUCH ACTION. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY GUARANTOR HAS
OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS
(WHETHER FROM SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OF A
JUDGMENT, EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE), EACH SUCH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN
RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS GUARANTEE.
Section 18. Integration; Effectiveness. This Guarantee alone sets forth the entire understanding
of the Guarantors and the Agent relating to the guarantee of the Obligations and constitutes the
entire contract between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and
all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
This Guarantee shall become effective when it shall have been executed and delivered by the
Guarantors to the Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Guarantee by telecopy
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed signature page of this Guarantee.
Section 19. Automatic Release. As provided in Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, a Guarantor
shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Guarantee upon the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth therein.
Section 20. Amendment and Restatement. This Guarantee is an amendment and restatement of that
certain Amended and Restated Guarantee Agreement dated November 18, 2009, by each of the
Subsidiaries of the Borrower party thereto in favor of the Administrative
Agent under that certain
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 18, 2009, by and among the Borrower, the

Note: As used herein, “SCI”, “Company”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to Service Corporation
International and companies owned directly or indirectly by Service Corporation International,
unless the context requires otherwise.
Litigation
We are a party to various litigation matters, investigations, and proceedings. For each of our
outstanding legal matters, we evaluate the merits of the case, our exposure to the matter, possible
legal or settlement strategies, and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. We intend to
vigorously defend ourselves in the lawsuits described herein; however, if we determine that an
unfavorable outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we establish the necessary
accruals. We hold certain insurance policies that may reduce cash outflows with respect to an
adverse outcome of certain of these litigation matters. We accrue such insurance recoveries when
they become probable of being paid and can be reasonably estimated.
Burial Practices Claims. We are named as a defendant in various lawsuits alleging improper
burial practices at certain of our cemetery locations. These lawsuits include but are not limited
to the Xxxxxx and Sands lawsuits described in the following paragraphs.
Reyvis Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx v. Alderwoods Group, Inc., Osiris Holding of Florida, Inc, a
Florida corporation, d/b/a Graceland Memorial Park South, f/k/a Paradise Memorial Gardens, Inc.,
was filed in December 2004, in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for
Miami-Dade County, Florida, Case No. 04-25646 CA 32. Plaintiffs are the son and sister of the
decedent, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, who was buried at Graceland Memorial Park South in March 1986, when the
cemetery was owned by Paradise Memorial Gardens, Inc. Initially, the suit sought damages on the
individual claims of the plaintiffs relating to the burial of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx. Plaintiffs claimed
that due to poor recordkeeping, spacing issues and maps, and the fact that the family could not
afford to purchase a marker for the grave, the burial location of the decedent could not be readily
located. Subsequently, the decedent’s grave was located and verified. In July 2006, plaintiffs
amended their complaint, seeking to certify a class of all persons buried at this cemetery whose
burial sites cannot be located, claiming that this was due to poor recordkeeping, maps, and surveys
at the cemetery. Plaintiffs subsequently filed a third amended class action complaint and added two
additional named plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages, as well as
equitable and injunctive relief. No class has been certified in this matter. We cannot quantify our
ultimate liability, if any, for the payment of any damages.
F. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. Eden
Memorial Park, et al.; Case No. BC421528; in the Superior Court of the State of California for the
County of Los Angeles — Central District. This case was filed in September 2009 against SCI and
certain subsidiaries regarding our Eden Memorial Park cemetery in Mission Hills, California. The
plaintiff seeks to certify a class of cemetery plot owners and their families. The plaintiff also
seeks the appointment of a receiver to oversee cemetery operations. The plaintiff claims the
cemetery damaged and desecrated burials in order to prepare adjoining xxxxxx for subsequent
burials. Since the case is in its preliminary stages, we cannot quantify our ultimate liability, if
any, for the payment of any damages.
Antitrust Claims. We are named as a defendant in an antitrust case filed in 2005. The case is
Cause No 4:05-CV-03394; Funeral Consumers Alliance, Inc. v. Service Corporation International, et
al.; in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas — Houston (“Funeral
Consumers Case”). This was a purported class action on behalf of casket consumers throughout the
United States alleging that we and several other companies involved in the funeral industry
violated federal antitrust laws and state consumer laws by engaging in various anti-competitive
conduct associated with the sale of caskets. Based on the case proceeding as a class action, the
plaintiffs filed an expert report indicating that the damages sought from all defendants range from
approximately $950 million to $1.5 billion, before trebling. However, the trial court
denied the plaintiffs’ motion to certify the case as a class action. We deny that we engaged in
anticompetitive practices related to our casket sales and we have filed reports of our experts,
which vigorously dispute the validity of the plaintiffs’ damages theories and calculations. The
trial court dismissed plaintiffs’ claims on September 24, 2010, and the plaintiffs filed an appeal
on October 19, 2010.
Wage and Hour Claims. We are named a defendant in various lawsuits alleging violations of
federal and state laws regulating wage and hour overtime pay, including but not limited to the
Prise, Bryant, Bryant, Helm, and Xxxxxxx lawsuits described in the following paragraphs.
Prise, et al., v. Alderwoods Group, Inc., and Service Corporation International; Cause No.
06-164; in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (the “Wage and
Hour Lawsuit”). The Wage and Hour Lawsuit was filed by two former Alderwoods (Pennsylvania), Inc.
employees in December 2006 and purports to have been brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act
(“FLSA”) on behalf of all Alderwoods and SCI-affiliated employees who performed work for which they
were not fully compensated, including work for which overtime pay was owed. The court has
conditionally certified a class of claims as to certain job positions for Alderwoods employees.
Plaintiffs allege causes of action for violations of the FLSA, failure to maintain proper
records, breach of contract, violations of state wage and hour laws, unjust enrichment, fraud and
deceit, quantum meruit, negligent misrepresentation, and negligence. Plaintiffs seek injunctive
relief, unpaid wages, liquidated, compensatory, consequential and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees
and costs, and pre- and post-judgment interest. We cannot quantify our ultimate liability, if any,
in this lawsuit.
Xxxxxx, et al. v. Alderwoods Group, Inc., Service Corporation International, et al.; Case No.
3:07-CV-5696-SI; in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. This lawsuit
was filed on November 8, 2007 against SCI and various subsidiaries and individuals. It is related
to the Wage and Hour Lawsuit, raising similar claims and brought by the same attorneys. This
lawsuit has been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania
and is now Case No. 08-CV-00891-JFC. We cannot quantify our ultimate liability, if any, in this
lawsuit.
Xxxxxx, et al. v. Service Corporation International, et al.; Case No. RG-07359593; and Helm,
et al. v. AWGI & SCI ; Case No. RG-07359602; in the Superior Court of the State of California,
County of Alameda. These cases were filed on December 5, 2007 by counsel for plaintiffs in the Wage
and Hour Lawsuit. These cases assert state law claims similar to the federal claims asserted in the
Wage and Hour Lawsuit. These cases were removed to federal court in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California, San Francisco/Oakland Division. The Xxxxxx case is now Case No.
3:08-CV-01190-SI and the Helm case is now Case No. C 08-01184-
SI. On December 29, 2009, the court in the Helm case denied the plaintiffs’ motion to certify the
case as a class action. The plaintiffs have modified and refiled their motion for certification.
The plaintiffs have also filed 21 additional lawsuits with similar allegations seeking class
certification of state law claims in different states. We cannot quantify our ultimate liability,
if any, in these lawsuits.
Xxxxxxx, et al. v. Service Corporation International, et al.; Case No. 08-CV-83; in the U.S.
District Court for Arizona, Phoenix Division. Counsel for plaintiffs in the Wage and Hour Lawsuit
filed this case on January 17, 2008, against SCI and various related entities and individuals
asserting FLSA and other ancillary claims based on the alleged failure to pay for overtime. In
September 2009, the Court conditionally certified a class of claims as to certain job positions of
SCI affiliated employees. We cannot quantify our ultimate liability, if any, in this lawsuit.
The ultimate outcome of the matters described above cannot be determined at this time. We
intend to vigorously defend all of the above lawsuits; however, an adverse decision in one or more
of such matters could have a material effect on us, our financial condition, results of operations,
and cash flows.
