ARTICLE II
THE CREDITS
SECTION 2.01 Commitments and Continuation of Original Term Loans. Subject to the terms and
conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender
agrees, severally and not jointly:
(a) to make an Additional Term Loan to Borrower on the Effective Date in the principal
amount not to exceed its Additional Term Loan Commitment;
(b) to make Revolving Loans to Borrower, at any time and from time to time on or after
the Effective Date until the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the termination of
the Revolving Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving
Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; and
-37-
(c) that the Original Term Loans made by such Lender to Borrower on the Original
Closing Date, to the extent not repaid on or prior to the Effective Date, shall be continued
and deemed to be outstanding hereunder and governed by the terms hereof.
Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Within the limits set
forth in clause (b) above and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein,
Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.
SECTION 2.02 Loans.
(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders
ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to
make its Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it
being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender
to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant
to Section 2.17(e)(ii), (x) ABR Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate
principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $250,000 or (ii)
equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments and (y) the LIBOR Loans
comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple
of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the
applicable Commitments.
(b) Subject to Sections 2.11 and 2.12, each Borrowing shall be comprised
entirely of ABR Loans or LIBOR Loans as Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03.
Each Lender may at its option make any LIBOR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or
Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not
affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that
Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than
five LIBOR Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing,
Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date,
shall be considered separate Borrowings.
(c) Except with respect to Loans deemed made pursuant to
Section 2.17(e)(ii), each
Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to such account in
New York City as the Administrative
Agent may designate not later than 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account as directed by Borrower in the
applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition
precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the
respective Lenders.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date
(in the case of any LIBOR Borrowing), and at least 2 hours prior to the time (in the case of any
ABR Borrowing), of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative
Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent at the time of such Borrowing in
accordance with paragraph (c) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative
Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made
such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and Borrower severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together
with interest thereon, for each day
-38-
from the date such amount is made available to Borrower until
the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of Borrower, the
interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) 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. If such
Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement, and
Borrower’s obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this
Section 2.02(d) shall cease.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower shall not be entitled to
request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with
respect thereto would end after the Revolving Maturity Date, Term Loan Maturity Date or Incremental
Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable.
SECTION 2.03 Borrowing Procedure. To request a Revolving Borrowing or Term Borrowing, Borrower
shall deliver, by hand delivery or telecopier, a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to
the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m.,
New York
City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an
ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the date of the proposed
Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information
in compliance with
Section 2.02:
(a) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Revolving Loans or
Additional Term Loans;
(b) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;
(c) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(d) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing;
(e) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable
thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest
Period”;
(f) the location and number of Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed,
which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(c); and
(g) that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(b)-(d) have been satisfied
as of the date of the notice.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be
an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested LIBOR
Borrowing, then 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.

Administrative Agent shall maintain an account in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan
made hereunder, the Type and Class 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 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. The entries made in the
account maintained pursuant to this paragraph shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such an account or any error therein shall not in any manner
affect the obligations of Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.
(c) Promissory Notes. Any Lender by written notice to Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory
note. In such event, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note
payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its
registered assigns) in the form of Exhibit J-1 or J-2, as the case may be.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) 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 2.05 Fees.
(a) Commitment Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the

For purposes of computing Revolving Commitment Fees with respect to Revolving Commitments, a
Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used (or to have been used) to the extent of
the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender hereunder and/or under the Original
Credit Agreement, as applicable.
-40-
(b) Administrative Agent Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for its own account, the administrative fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately

the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee (“LC Participation Fee”) with respect to
its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable
Margin from time to time used to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Revolving Loans pursuant to
Section 2.06 on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the
Original Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to
the Issuing Bank a fronting fee (“Fronting Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum

excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which
there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s customary fees with respect to
the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings
thereunder. Accrued LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be payable in arrears (i) on the
first Business Day of August, November, February and May of each year, commencing on the first such
date to occur after the Original Closing Date, and (ii) on the date on which the Revolving
Commitments terminate. Any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this
paragraph shall be payable on demand. All LC 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).
(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the
Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that

any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at
stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to
(i) in the case of amounts constituting principal of or interest on any Loan, 2% plus the rate
otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section
2.06 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving
Loans as provided in Section 2.06(a) (in either case, the “Default Rate”).

avoidance of doubt, interest accrued and unpaid under the Original Credit Agreement) shall be
payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued
pursuant to Section 2.06(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment
or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan without a permanent
reduction in Revolving Commitments), 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 LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued

each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple

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 of any Class shall be permanent.

SECTION 2.08 Interest Elections.
(a) Generally. (i) Each Borrowing of Additional Term Loans shall initially be an ABR
Borrowing and (ii) unless otherwise specified by Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof, each
Borrowing of Original Term Loans shall, on the Effective Date, continue as a Borrowing with its
Type unchanged and, in the case of LIBOR Borrowings, with its Interest Period unchanged. Each
Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request
and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such
Borrowing Request. Thereafter, Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing to a different Type or
to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods
therefor, all as provided in this Section. 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. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, Borrower shall not be entitled to request any conversion or continuation that, if made,
would result in more than five LIBOR Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time.
(b) Interest Election Notice. To make an election pursuant to this Section, Borrower
shall deliver, by hand delivery or telecopier, a duly completed and executed Interest Election
Request to the Administrative Agent not later than the time that a Borrowing Request would be
required under Section 2.03 if Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting
from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election
Request shall be irrevocable. Each 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, or if outstanding
Borrowings are being combined, allocation 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 an ABR Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing;
and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBOR 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 LIBOR Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration.
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.
(c) Automatic Conversion to ABR Borrowing. If an Interest Election Request with
respect to a LIBOR Borrowing is not timely delivered 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
-43-
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require, by notice to Borrower, that (i) no
outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid,
each LIBOR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto.
SECTION 2.09 Amortization of Term Borrowings. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Lenders, on the dates set forth on Annex II, or if any such date is not
a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day (each such date, a “Term Loan Repayment
Date”), a principal amount of the Term Loans equal to the amount set forth on Annex II for
such date (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.10(h)), together in each
case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date
of such payment. To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the
Term Loan Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.10 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.
(a) Optional Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to
time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section
2.10; provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple
of $500,000 and not less than $1.0 million or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of such
Borrowing.
(b) Revolving Loan Prepayments.
(i) In the event of the termination of all the Revolving Commitments, Borrower shall,
on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Borrowings
and replace all outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize all outstanding Letters
of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17(i).
(ii) In the event of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments, then (x) at or
prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify
Borrower and the Revolving Lenders of the sum of the Revolving Exposures after giving effect
thereto and (y) if the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of
Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction, then Borrower shall, on the
date of such reduction, first, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings and second, replace
outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2.17(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to
eliminate such excess.
(iii) In the event that the sum of all Lenders’ Revolving Exposures exceeds the
Revolving Commitments then in effect, Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately
first, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings, and second, replace outstanding Letters of
Credit or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Section 2.17(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such
excess.
(iv) In the event that the aggregate LC Exposure exceeds the LC Commitment then in
effect, Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately replace outstanding Letters of
Credit or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Section 2.17(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such
excess.
-44-
(c) Asset Sales. Not later than five Business Days following the receipt of any Net
Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, Borrower shall make
prepayments in accordance with Sections 2.10(h) and (i) in an aggregate amount
equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that:
(i) no such prepayment shall be required under this Section 2.10(c)(i) with
respect to (A) any Asset Sale permitted by Section 6.06(a), (B) the disposition of
property which constitutes a Casualty Event, or (C) Asset Sales for fair market value
resulting in no more than $500,000 in Net Cash Proceeds per Asset Sale (or series of related
Asset Sales) and no more than $1,000,000 in Net Cash Proceeds in any fiscal year (to the
extent that either maximum amount set forth in this subclause (C) is exceeded, the Loan
Parties shall be required to apply the entire amount of such Net Cash Proceeds (and not only
the amount in excess of the maximum amounts set forth in this subclause) to prepay the Loans
unless the Borrower shall comply with clause (c)(ii) below); provided that clause (C) shall
not apply in the case of any Asset Sale described in clause (b) of the definition thereof;
and
(ii) so long as no Default shall then exist or would arise therefrom, such proceeds
shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that Borrower shall have
delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date
stating that such Net Cash Proceeds are expected to be reinvested in fixed or capital assets
or to be contractually committed to be so reinvested within 12 months following the date of
such Asset Sale (which Officers’ Certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds
to be so expended); provided that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is not so
reinvested within such 12-month period or, if ending later, the period ending 6 months after
any such contractual commitment with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds was entered into,
such unused portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory
prepayment as provided in this Section 2.10(c); provided, further, that if the
property subject to such Asset Sale constituted Collateral, then all property purchased with
the Net Cash Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made subject to the Lien
of the applicable Security Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and
for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in accordance with Sections 5.11 and
5.12.
(d) Debt Issuance. Not later than one Business Day following the receipt of any Net
Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, Borrower shall make
prepayments in accordance with Sections 2.10(h) and (i) in an aggregate amount
equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.
(e) Equity Issuance. Not later than five Business Days following the receipt of any
Net Cash Proceeds of any Equity Issuance, Borrower shall make prepayments in accordance with
Sections 2.10(h) and (i) in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of such Net Cash
Proceeds; provided, however, that, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the foregoing shall not apply with respect to not more than $20,000,000 of such Net
Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower after the Effective Date to the extent Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent within such five Business Day period that it has elected to exempt such
Net Cash Proceeds from the prepayment provisions of this Section 2.10(e) and such proceeds
are applied in a manner not prohibited by this Agreement.
(f) Casualty Events. Not later than five Business Days following the receipt of any
Net Cash Proceeds from a Casualty Event by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, Borrower shall make
prepayments in accordance with Sections 2.10(h) and (i) in an aggregate amount
equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that:
-45-
(i) so long as no Default shall then exist or arise therefrom, such proceeds shall not
be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that (A) in the event such Net Cash
Proceeds shall not exceed $1,000,000, Borrower shall have delivered an Officers’ Certificate
to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such proceeds are expected
to be used, or (B) in the event that such Net Cash Proceeds exceed $1,000,000, the
Administrative Agent has elected by notice to Borrower on or prior to such date to require
such proceeds to be used, in each case, to repair, replace or restore any property in
respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid or to reinvest in other fixed or capital
assets or to be contractually committed to be so reinvested, no later than 12 months
following the date of receipt of such proceeds; provided that if the property subject to
such Casualty Event constituted Collateral under the Security Documents, then all property
purchased with the Net Cash Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made
subject to the Lien of the applicable Security Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent,
for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in accordance with
Sections 5.11 and 5.12; and
(ii) if any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be so applied within such
12-month period or, if ending later, the period ending 6 months after any such contractual
commitment with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds was entered into, such unused portion
shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory prepayment as provided in
this Section 2.10(f).
(g) Excess Cash Flow. No later than five Business Days after the date on which the
financial statements with respect to such fiscal year in which such Excess Cash Flow Period occurs
are or are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a), Borrower shall make
prepayments in accordance with Sections 2.10(h) and (i) in an aggregate amount
equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended.
(h) Application of Prepayments. Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment
hereunder, Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such
selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(i), subject to the
provisions of this Section 2.10(h). Any prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(c),
(d), (e), (f) or (g) shall be applied first to the Term Loans to
reduce scheduled prepayments required under Section 2.09, first, in direct order to such
scheduled prepayments due on the next four Term Loan Repayment Dates occurring following such
prepayment and, second, on a pro rata basis among the prepayments remaining to be made on each
other Term Loan Repayment Date. After application of mandatory prepayments of Term Loans described
above in this Section 2.10(h) and to the extent there are mandatory prepayment amounts
remaining after such application, the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced ratably
among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their applicable Revolving Commitments in an
aggregate amount equal to such excess, and Borrower shall comply with Section 2.10(b).
Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.10 to the prepayment of Term Loans
and Revolving Loans shall be applied, as applicable, first to reduce outstanding ABR Term Loans and
ABR Revolving Loans, respectively. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be
applied to prepay LIBOR Term Loans or LIBOR Revolving Loans, as applicable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under this Section 2.10 shall
be in excess of the amount of the ABR Loans at the time outstanding (an “Excess Amount”), only the
portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding ABR Loans
shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of Borrower, the Excess Amount shall be either
(A) deposited in an escrow account on terms satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and applied to the
prepayment of LIBOR Loans on the
-46-
last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for LIBOR
Loans; provided that (i) interest in respect of such Excess Amount shall continue to accrue thereon
at the rate provided hereunder for the Loans which such Excess Amount is intended to repay until
such Excess Amount shall have been used in full to repay such Loans and (ii) at any time while a
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and upon written direction
from the Required Lenders shall, apply any or all proceeds then on deposit to the payment of such
Loans in an amount equal to such Excess Amount or (B) prepaid immediately, together with any
amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 2.13.
(i) Notice of Prepayment. Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by written
notice of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a LIBOR Borrowing, not later
than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in
the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one
Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable; provided that,
if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the
Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked
if such termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07. Each such notice shall
specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be
prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount
of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall
advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in
an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Credit Extension of the same Type as provided in
Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory
prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the
prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.10. Prepayments shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.06.
SECTION 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a
LIBOR Borrowing:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and
conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the
LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest
Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders as
promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies 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 Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing
as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBOR
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
SECTION 2.12 Yield Protection.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
-47-
of, or credit extended or participated in, by any Lender (except any reserve requirement
reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Bank;
(ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or
any LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the
Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 2.15 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax
payable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank); or
(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR 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 LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase
the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company,
if any, of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its
obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest
or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, 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, for such additional costs incurred
or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines (in good
faith, but in its sole absolute discretion) that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the
Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding
company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing 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, the Commitments of such
Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit
issued by the Issuing 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 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 or such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. 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
2.12 and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay
such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank
to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not
be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs incurred or
-48-
reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies 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 (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof) .
SECTION 2.13 Breakage Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment, whether optional or
mandatory, of any principal of any LIBOR Loan earlier than the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR
Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to
borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any
notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan earlier than the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.16(b), then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the
loss (other than lost profit or spread), cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case
of a LIBOR 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 LIBOR 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 LIBOR market. A certificate of any
Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Borrower shall
pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 5 days after receipt
thereof.
SECTION 2.14 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.
(a) Payments Generally. Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or Reimbursement
Obligations, or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 or
10.03, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other
Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New
York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction 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 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, except payments to be made
directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to
Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the
persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the persons
specified therein. 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 under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless
specified otherwise, 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 under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars, except as
expressly specified otherwise.
-49-
(b) Pro Rata Treatment.
(i) Each payment by Borrower of interest in respect of the Loans shall be applied to
the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective
amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.
(ii) Each payment on account of principal of the Term Loans shall be allocated among
the Term Loan Lenders pro rata based on the principal amount of the Term Loans held by the
Term Loan Lenders. Each payment by Borrower on account of principal of the Revolving
Borrowings shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts
of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.
(c) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement
Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward
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, toward
payment of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due
to such parties; provided, that the Administrative Agent may, subject to any applicable federal,
state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar orders, distribute any adequate
protection payments it receives on behalf of the Lenders to the Lenders in its sole discretion
(i.e., whether to pay the earliest accrued interest, all accrued interest on a pro rata
basis or otherwise).
(d) Sharing of Set-Off. If any Lender (and/or the Issuing Bank, which shall be deemed
a “Lender” for purposes of this Section 2.14(d)) shall, by exercising any right of setoff
or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its
Loans or other Obligations resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other Obligations greater than its
pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall
(a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other
adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment
giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or
sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any
assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the
provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to
such participation
-50-
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation. If under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar law any
Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this
Section 2.14(d) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its
rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Secured
Party is entitled under this Section 2.14(d) to share in the benefits of the recovery of
such secured claim.
(e) Borrower Default. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
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 Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that 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 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 the 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.
(f) Lender Default. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made
by it pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.14(e), 2.17(d), 2.17(e) or
10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
SECTION 2.15 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the
Borrower shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes
(including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (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 timely pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
Requirements of Law.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph
(a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.
(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent,
each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on
or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of
-51-
such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or the
Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, 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) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so,
deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by
the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is
applicable:
(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility
for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,
(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the
form of Exhibit P, or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, to the effect
that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN, or
(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for
claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly
completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable
Requirements of Law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to
be made.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the
Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which
Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving
rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount
paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank in the event
the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating
to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other person. Notwithstanding anything
to the
-52-
contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower the payment
of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would
have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes had never been paid.
SECTION 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 2.12, or requires Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, 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 2.12 or 2.15, 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. Borrower hereby agrees to pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses submitted by such Lender to
Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
2.12, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender
defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or if Borrower exercises its replacement rights
under Section 10.02(d), then 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, and consents required
by, Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
(i) Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation
fee specified in Section 10.04(b);
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.13), from the assignee (to the
extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case
of all other amounts;
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
-53-
SECTION 2.17 Letters of Credit
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may
request the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank agrees, to issue Letters of Credit for its own
account or the account of a Subsidiary in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent
and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period
(provided that Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and be jointly and severally liable, with respect
to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary). The Issuing Bank shall have no
obligation to issue, and Borrower shall not request the issuance of, any Letter of Credit at any
time if after giving effect to such issuance, the LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment or the
total Revolving Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Commitments. 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 Borrower to, or entered
into by Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions
of this Agreement shall control.
(b) Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions and
Notices. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension
of an outstanding Letter of Credit, Borrower shall deliver, by hand or telecopier (or transmit by
electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank), an
LC Request to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the fifth
Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time
as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank).
A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail
satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:
(i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a
Business Day);
(ii) the amount thereof;
(iii) the expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the close of business on
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date);
(iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;
(v) whether the Letter of Credit is to be issued for its own account or for the account
of one of its Subsidiaries (provided that Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and therefore
jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account
of a Subsidiary);
(vi) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing
thereunder;
(vii) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in
connection with any drawing thereunder; and
(viii) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require.
A request for an amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall
specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:
-54-
(i) the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended;
(ii) the proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which shall be a
Business Day);
(iii) the nature of the proposed amendment, renewal or extension; and
(iv) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require.
If requested by the Issuing Bank, 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. 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, 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 the LC Commitment, (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total
Revolving Commitments and (iii) the conditions set forth in Article IV in respect of such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension shall have been satisfied. Unless the Issuing Bank shall
agree otherwise, no Letter of Credit shall be in an initial amount less than $5,000, in the case of
a Commercial Letter of Credit, or $100,000, in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit.
Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to
a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, who shall
promptly notify each Revolving Lender, thereof, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such
Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit and the
amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section
2.17(d). On the first Business Day of each calendar month, the Issuing Bank shall provide to
the Administrative Agent a report listing all outstanding Letters of Credit and the amounts and
beneficiaries thereof and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such report to each
Revolving Lender.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit, (x) the date which is one
year after the date of the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any
renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (y) the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date and (ii) in the case of a Commercial Letter of Credit, (x) the date that is
180 days after the date of issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any
renewal or extension thereof, 180 days after such renewal or extension) and (y) the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date.
(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 irrevocably grants to each Revolving Lender,
and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of
Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each LC
Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrower on the date due as provided in
Section 2.17(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrower for
any reason. Each Revolving 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
-55-
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
reduction or termination of the Commitments, or expiration, termination or cash collateralization
of any Letter of Credit and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e) Reimbursement.
(i) If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of
Credit, Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Issuing Bank an
amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
date that such LC Disbursement is made if Borrower shall have received notice of such LC
Disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has
not been received by Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 2:00
p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrower
receives such notice; provided that Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set
forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed
with ABR Revolving Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, Borrower’s
obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR
Revolving Loans.
(ii) If Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Issuing Bank shall notify the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the
applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from Borrower in respect thereof and such
Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Lender shall pay by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00
p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Lender shall have received
such notice later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to
such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same
manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Revolving Loans made by such
Revolving Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the
amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent will
promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from Borrower pursuant to the
above paragraph prior to the time that any Revolving Lender makes any payment pursuant to
the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from
Borrower thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving
Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as appropriate.
(iii) If any Revolving Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such LC
Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, each of such Revolving
Lender and Borrower severally agrees to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and
including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to
but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of Borrower, the rate per annum set forth in Section
2.17(h) and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.
(f) Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligation of Borrower as provided in
Section 2.17(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and
-56-
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 being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient 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 fails
to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (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 2.17, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff
against, the obligations of Borrower hereunder; (v) the fact that a Default shall have occurred and
be continuing; or (vi) any material adverse change in the business, property, results of
operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. None
of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates 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 Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages,
claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable
Requirements of Law) suffered by 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 gross 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 give written notice to the Administrative Agent and
Borrower 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 Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligation to the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with
respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such Reimbursement
Obligation set forth in Section 2.17(e)).
(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is
made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day from and
including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that Borrower reimburses
such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum determined pursuant to Section 2.06(c).
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 Revolving Lender pursuant to
Section 2.17(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to
the extent of such payment.
-57-
(i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on
the Business Day that Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure
representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral
pursuant to this paragraph, Borrower shall deposit on terms and in accounts satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving 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 Borrower described
in Section 8.01(g) or (h). Funds so deposited shall be applied by the Collateral
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 outstanding Reimbursement
Obligations or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of
Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be
applied to satisfy other Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement. If Borrower is required to
provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, such amount plus any accrued interest or realized profits with respect to such amounts (to
the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within three Business Days after
all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
(j) Additional Issuing Banks. Borrower may, at any time and from time to time,
designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of
this Agreement, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), the Issuing Bank and such Revolving Lender(s). Any Lender designated as an
issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (j) shall be deemed (in addition to being a Revolving
Lender) to be the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such
Revolving Lender, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing
Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Revolving Lender in
its capacity as Issuing Bank, as the context shall require.
(k) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may resign as
Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and Borrower. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written
agreement among Borrower, each 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 or
any such additional Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become
effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank
pursuant to Section 2.05(c). From and after the effective date of any such resignation or
replacement or addition, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional 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 by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be
deemed to refer to such successor or such addition or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such
successor or such addition and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the
resignation or 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 resignation or
replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. If at any time there
is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, Borrower may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Bank
is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.
-58-
(l) Other. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit if
(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by
its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit,
or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction
over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the
issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall
impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve
or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder)
not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed
loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Issuing
Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; or
(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the
Issuing Bank.
The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Issuing Bank
would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the
terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed
amendment to such Letter of Credit.
SECTION 2.18 Increase in Commitments.
(a) Borrower Request. Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent
elect to request (x) prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, an increase to the existing Revolving
Commitments and/or (y) the establishment of one or more new Term Loan Commitments (each, an
“Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) by an amount not in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate.
Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which Borrower
proposes that the increased or new Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less
than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent
and (ii) the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom Borrower proposes any portion of such
increased or new Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any
existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the increased or new Commitments may
elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased or new Commitment.
(b) Conditions. The increased or new Commitments shall become effective, as of such
Increase Effective Date; provided that:
(i) each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied;
(ii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the
borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective Date;
(iii) after giving pro forma effect to the borrowings to be made on the Increase
Effective Date and to any change in Consolidated EBITDA and any increase in Indebtedness
resulting from the consummation of any Permitted Acquisition concurrently with such
borrowings as of the date of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to
Section 5.01(a) or (b), Borrower shall be in compliance with each of the
covenants set forth in Section 6.10;
-59-
(iv) Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.13 in
connection with any adjustment of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.18(d); and
(v) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other
documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such
transaction.
(c) Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of Loans made
pursuant to the new Commitments shall be as follows:
(i) terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to Incremental Term Loan Commitments
(“Incremental Term Loans”) shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Increase
Joinder, identical to the Term Loans (it being understood that Incremental Term Loans may be
a part of the Term Loans);
(ii) the terms and provisions of Revolving Loans made pursuant to new Commitments shall
be identical to the Revolving Loans;
(iii) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no
shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the existing Term Loans;
(iv) the maturity date of Incremental Term Loans (the “Incremental Term Loan Maturity
Date”) shall not be earlier than the Final Maturity Date;
(v) the Applicable Margins for the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by
Borrower and the Lenders of the Incremental Term Loans; provided that in the event that the
Applicable Margins for any Incremental Term Loans are greater than the Applicable Margins
for the Term Loans by more than 25 basis points, then the Applicable Margins for the Term
Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Applicable Margins for the
Incremental Term Loans are equal to the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans plus 25 basis
points; provided, further, that in determining the Applicable Margins applicable to the Term
Loans and the Incremental Term Loans, (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees
(which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by Borrower to the Lenders
of the Term Loans or the Incremental Term Loans in the primary syndication thereof shall be
included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity)
and (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the Sole Lead Arranger (or its
affiliates) in connection with the Term Loans or to one or more arrangers (or their
affiliates) of the Incremental Term Loans shall be excluded; and
(vi) to the extent that the terms and provisions of Incremental Term Loans are not
identical to the Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause (iv) or (v) above)
they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
The increased or new Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”)
executed by Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such increased or new
Commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without
the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect
the provisions of this Section 2.18. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, all references in Loan Documents to Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context
otherwise requires, to include references to
-60-
Revolving Loans made pursuant to new Commitments and
Incremental Term Loans that are Term Loans, respectively, made pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) Adjustment of Revolving Loans. To the extent the Commitments being increased on
the relevant Increase Effective Date are Revolving Commitments, then each of the Revolving Lenders
having a Revolving Commitment prior to such Increase Effective Date (the “Pre-Increase Revolving
Lenders”) shall assign to any Revolving Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Revolving
Commitment on the Increase Effective Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving Lenders”), and such
Post-Increase Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Revolving Lender, at the
principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans and participation interests in LC
Exposure outstanding on such Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after
giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participation
interests in LC Exposure will be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders and Post-Increase Revolving
Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such
increased Revolving Commitments.
(e) Making of New Term Loans. On any Increase Effective Date on which new Commitments
for Term Loans are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions,
each Lender of such new Commitment shall make a Term Loan to Borrower in an amount equal to its new
Commitment.
(f) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this
paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits
afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the
foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the
Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the
Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by
the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to
the establishment of any such Class of term loans or any such new Commitments.
SECTION 2.19 Reallocation of Original Term Loans and Additional Term Loans. On the Effective
Date, the Administrative Agent shall reallocate the Original Term Loans and the Additional Term
Loans such that, following such reallocation, the Additional Term Lenders and each Lender holding
an Original Term Loan shall, as nearly as practicable, hold the same aggregate amount of Term Loans
(including Additional Term Loans) held by it prior to such reallocation but shall hold Term Loans
which are LIBOR Loans or ABR Loans in the same proportion as each other Lender holding Term Loans.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders (with references to the Companies being references thereto
after giving effect to the Current Transactions unless otherwise expressly stated) that:
SECTION 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each Company (a) is duly organized and validly existing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority to
carry on its business as now conducted and to own and lease its property and (c) is qualified and
in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable in the applicable jurisdiction) to do
business in
-61-
every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except in such jurisdictions
where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no existing default under
any Organizational Document of any Company or any event which, with the giving of notice or passage
of time or both, would constitute a default by any party thereunder.
SECTION 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Current Transactions to be entered into by each
Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of such Loan Party. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each
Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party,
when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.

such rights that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (e)
will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any property of any Company, except
Liens created by the Loan Documents and Permitted Liens.
SECTION 3.04 Financial Statements; Projections.
(a) Historical Financial Statements. Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders
the consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash
flows of Borrower (i) as of and for the last three fiscal years ended more than 90 days prior to
the Effective Date, audited by and accompanied by the unqualified opinion of KPMG LLP, independent
public accountants and (ii) as of and for each fiscal month and quarter ended more than 30 but less
than 90 days prior to the Effective Date, and for the comparable periods of the preceding fiscal
year, in each case, certified by the chief financial officer of Borrower. Such financial

contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, which could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, and there is no existing condition, situation or set of
circumstances which could reasonably be expected to result in such a liability, other than
liabilities under the Loan Documents. Since July 31, 2006, there has been no event, change,
circumstance or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
-62-
(c) Pro Forma Financial Statements. Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders
Borrower’s unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and statements of income and pro forma
EBITDA as of and for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2007 after giving effect to the pro
forma EBITDA of the Original Transactions as of and for the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2007
and after giving effect to the pro forma EBITDA of the Current Transactions as if they had occurred
on May 31, 2007. Such pro forma financial statements and information have been prepared in good
faith by the Loan Parties, based on the assumptions stated therein (which assumptions are believed
by the Loan Parties on the date hereof and on the Effective Date to be reasonable), are based on
the best information available to the Loan Parties as of the date of delivery thereof, accurately
reflect all adjustments required to be made to give effect to the Original Transactions and the
Current Transactions, as applicable, and (other than with respect to certain cost savings

the pro forma consolidated financial position, results of operations and EBITDA of Borrower as of such date and for such
periods, assuming that the Original Transactions and the Current Transactions had occurred at such dates.
The further adjustments made to such pro forma financial statements and information in respect of
cost savings adjustments relating to the Current Transactions reflect the good faith determination
of Borrower as the achievability of such cost savings and are based on assumptions believed by
Borrower to be reasonable.

subsidiaries furnished to the Lenders have been prepared in good faith by Borrower and based on
assumptions believed by Borrower to reasonable.

and for the periods to which they relate.
SECTION 3.05 Properties.
(a) Generally. Each Company has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all
its property material to its business, free and clear of all Liens except for, in the case of
Collateral, Permitted Collateral Liens and, in the case of all other material property, Permitted
Liens and minor irregularities or deficiencies in title that, individually or in the aggregate, do
not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such
property for its intended purpose. The property of the Companies, taken as a whole, (i) is in good
operating order, condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and (ii) constitutes all
the property which is required for the business and operations of the Companies as presently
conducted.
(b) Real Property. Schedules 8(a) and 8(b) to the Perfection
Certificate dated the Effective Date contain a true and complete list of each interest in Real
Property (i) owned by any Company as of the Effective Date and describes the type of interest
therein held by such Company and whether such owned Real Property is leased and if leased whether
the underlying Lease contains any option to purchase all or any portion of such Real Property or
any interest therein or contains any right of first refusal relating to any sale of such Real
Property or any portion thereof or interest therein and (ii) leased, subleased or otherwise
occupied or utilized by any Company, as lessee, sublessee, franchisee or licensee, as of the
Effective Date and describes the type of interest therein held by such Company and, in each of the
cases
-63-
described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.05(b), whether any Lease requires
the consent of the landlord or tenant thereunder, or other party thereto, to the Current
Transactions.
(c) No Casualty Event. No Company has received any notice of, nor has any knowledge
of, the occurrence or pendency or contemplation of any Casualty Event affecting all or any portion
of its property. No Mortgage encumbers improved Real Property that is located in an area that has
been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood
hazards within the meaning of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 unless flood insurance
available under such Act has been obtained in accordance with Section 5.04.
(d) Collateral. Each Company owns or has rights to use all of the Collateral and all
rights with respect to any of the foregoing used in, necessary for or material to each Company’s
business as currently conducted. The use by each Company of such Collateral and all such rights
with respect to the foregoing do not infringe on the rights of any person other than such
infringement which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been made and remains outstanding that any Company’s use
of any Collateral does or may violate the rights of any third party that could, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.06 Intellectual Property.
(a) Ownership/No Claims. Each Loan Party owns, or is licensed to use, all patents,
patent applications, trademarks, trade names, servicemarks, copyrights, technology, trade secrets,
proprietary information, domain names, know-how and processes necessary for the conduct of its
business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”), except for those the failure to own
or license which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been asserted and is pending by any person challenging or
questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such
Intellectual Property, nor does any Loan Party know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use
of such Intellectual Property by each Loan Party does not infringe the rights of any person, except
for such claims and infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Registrations. Except pursuant to licenses and other user agreements entered into
by each Loan Party in the ordinary course of business that are listed in Schedule 12(a) or
12(b) to the Perfection Certificate, on and as of the Effective Date (i) each Loan Party
owns and possesses the right to use, and has done nothing to authorize or enable any other person
to use, any copyright, patent or trademark (as such terms are defined in the Security Agreement)
listed in Schedule 12(a) or 12(b) to the Perfection Certificate and (ii) all
registrations listed in Schedule 12(a) or 12(b) to the Perfection Certificate are
valid and in full force and effect.
(c) No Violations or Proceedings. To each Loan Party’s knowledge, on and as of the
Effective Date, there is no material violation by others of any right of such Loan Party with
respect to any copyright, patent or trademark listed in Schedule 12(a) or 12(b) to
the Perfection Certificate as supplemented through the Effective Date, pledged by it under the name
of such Loan Party except as may be set forth on Schedule 3.06(c).
-64-
SECTION 3.07 Equity Interests and Subsidiaries.
(a) Equity Interests. Schedules 1(a) and 10(a) to the Perfection
Certificate dated the Effective Date set forth a list of (i) all the Subsidiaries of Borrower and
their jurisdictions of organization as of the Effective Date and (ii) the number of each class of
its Equity Interests authorized, and the number outstanding, on the Effective Date and the number
of shares covered by all outstanding options, warrants, rights of conversion or purchase and
similar rights at the Effective Date. All Equity Interests of each Company are duly and validly
issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, and, other than the Equity Interests of Borrower, are
owned by Borrower, directly or indirectly through Wholly Owned Subsidiaries. Each Loan Party is
the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Equity Interests
pledged by it under the Security Agreement, free of any and all Liens, rights or claims of other
persons, except the security interest created by the Security Agreement, and there are no
outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar
agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the
issuance or sale of, any such Equity Interests.
(b) No Consent of Third Parties Required. No consent of any person including any
other general or limited partner, any other member of a limited liability company, any other
shareholder or any other trust beneficiary is necessary or reasonably desirable (from the
perspective of a secured party) in connection with the creation, perfection or first priority
status of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Equity Interests pledged to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Security Agreement or the
exercise by the Collateral Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in the Security
Agreement or the exercise of remedies in respect thereof.
(c) Organizational Chart. An accurate organizational chart, showing the ownership
structure of Borrower and each Subsidiary on the Effective Date, and after giving effect to the
Acquisition Transactions, is set forth on Schedule 10(a) to the Perfection Certificate
dated the Effective Date.
SECTION 3.08 Litigation; Compliance with Laws. There are no actions, suits or
proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the
knowledge of any Company, threatened against or affecting any Company or any business, property or
rights of any Company (i) that involve any Loan Document or any of the Acquisition Transactions or
(ii) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if
adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in
a Material Adverse Effect. Except for matters covered by Section 3.18, no Company or any
of its property is in violation of, nor will the continued operation of its property as currently
conducted violate, any Requirements of Law (including any zoning or building ordinance, code or
approval or any building permits) or any restrictions of record or agreements affecting any
Company’s Real Property or is in default with respect to any Requirement of Law, where such
violation or default, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.09 Agreements. No Company is a party to any agreement or instrument or
subject to any corporate or other constitutional restriction that has resulted or could reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Company is in default in any manner under
any provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument evidencing Indebtedness, or any
other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is or
may be bound, where such default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both,
would constitute such a default. Schedule 3.09 accurately and completely lists all
Material Agreements (other than leases of Real Property set
forth on Schedule 8(a) or 8(b) to the Perfection Certificate dated the
Effective Date) to which any
-65-
Company is a party which are in effect on the Effective Date in
connection with the operation of the business conducted thereby and Borrower has delivered to the
Administrative Agent complete and correct copies of all such Material Agreements, including any
amendments, supplements or modifications with respect thereto, and all such agreements are in full
force and effect.
SECTION 3.10 Federal Reserve Regulations. No Company is engaged principally, or as
one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or
carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will be used,
whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any
purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the
regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X. The pledge of the Securities Collateral
pursuant to the Security Agreement does not violate such regulations.
SECTION 3.11 Investment Company Act. No Company is an “investment company” or a
company “controlled” by an “investment company,” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
SECTION 3.12 Use of Proceeds. Borrower will use (a) the proceeds of the Additional
Term Loans to consummate the netASPx Transactions and (b) the proceeds of the Revolving Loans after
the Effective Date for general corporate purposes (including to effect Permitted Acquisitions other
than the netASPx Transactions).
SECTION 3.13 Taxes. Each Company has (a) timely filed or caused to be timely filed
all federal Tax Returns and all material state, local and foreign Tax Returns or materials (or
timely extensions) required to have been filed by it and all such Tax Returns are true and correct
in all material respects and (b) duly and timely paid, collected or remitted or caused to be duly
and timely paid, collected or remitted all Taxes (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) due and
payable, collectible or remittable by it and all assessments received by it, except Taxes (i) that
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Company has set
aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP and (ii) which could not, individually
or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Company has made adequate provision in
accordance with GAAP for all Taxes not yet due and payable. Each Company is unaware of any
proposed or pending tax assessments, deficiencies or audits that could be reasonably expected to,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Company has ever been a
party to any understanding or arrangement constituting a “tax shelter” within the meaning of
Section 6111(c), Section 6111(d) or Section 6662(d)(2)(C)(iii) of the Code, or has ever
“participated” in a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.6011-4, except as could not be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result
in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.14 No Material Misstatements. No information, report, financial statement,
certificate, Borrowing Request, LC Request, exhibit or schedule furnished by or on behalf of any
Company to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of any Loan
Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto, taken as a whole, or the Confidential
Information Memorandum contained or contains any material misstatement of fact or omitted or omits
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were or are made, not misleading as of the date such information is
dated or certified; provided that to the extent any such information, report, financial statement,
exhibit or schedule was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, each Company represents
only that it acted in good faith and utilized
-66-
reasonable assumptions and due care in the preparation of such information, report, financial
statement, exhibit or schedule.
SECTION 3.15 Labor Matters. As of the Effective Date, there are no strikes, lockouts
or slowdowns against any Company pending or, to the knowledge of any Company, threatened. The
hours worked by and payments made to employees of any Company have not been in violation of the
Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other applicable federal, state, local or
foreign law dealing with such matters in any manner which could reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any Company, or for which any claim may be made
against any Company, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other
benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such Company except where the
failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The
consummation of the Current Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of
renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any
Company is bound.
SECTION 3.16 Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Current Transactions
to occur on the Effective Date and immediately following the making of each Loan and after giving
effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan, (a) the fair value of the properties of
each Loan Party (on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will exceed its debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the
property of each Loan Party (on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will be greater than
the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and
matured; (c) each Loan Party (on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will be able to pay
its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities
become absolute and matured; and (d) each Loan Party (on a consolidated basis with its
Subsidiaries) will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct its business in which
it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the
Effective Date.
SECTION 3.17 Employee Benefit Plans. Each Company and its ERISA Affiliates is in
compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the
regulations and published interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be
expected to result in material liability of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates or the
imposition of a Lien on any of the property of any Company. The present value of all accumulated
benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent
financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $250,000 the fair market value of
the property of all such underfunded Plans. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods
consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of each
Company or its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal
therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.18 Environmental Matters.
(a) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.18 and except as, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect:
-67-
(i) The Companies and their businesses, operations and Real Property are and in the
last six years have been in compliance with, and the Companies have no liability under any
Environmental Law;
(ii) The Companies have obtained all Environmental Permits required for the conduct of
their businesses and operations, and the ownership, operation and use of their property,

adjustments will be required in order to renew or modify such Environmental Permits during
the next five years;
(iii) There has been no Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Material on, at,
under or from any Real Property or facility presently or formerly owned, leased or operated
by the Companies or their predecessors in interest that could result in liability by the
Companies under any applicable Environmental Law;
(iv) There is no Environmental Claim pending or, to the knowledge of the Companies,
threatened against the Companies, or relating to the Real Property currently or formerly
owned, leased or operated by the Companies or their predecessors in interest or relating to
the operations of the Companies, and there are no actions, activities, circumstances,
conditions, events or incidents that could form the basis of such an Environmental Claim;
and
(v) No person with an indemnity or contribution obligation to the Companies relating to
compliance with or liability under Environmental Law is in default with respect to such
obligation.
(b) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.18:
(i) No Company is obligated to perform any action or otherwise incur any expense under
Environmental Law pursuant to any order, decree, judgment or agreement by which it is bound
or has assumed by contract, agreement or operation of law, and no Company is conducting or
financing any Response pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to any Real Property
or any other location;
(ii) No Real Property or facility owned, operated or leased by the Companies and, to
the knowledge of the Companies, no Real Property or facility formerly owned, operated or
leased by the Companies or any of their predecessors in interest is (i) listed or proposed
for listing on the National Priorities List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA or (ii) listed on
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Information System
promulgated pursuant to CERCLA or (iii) included on any similar list maintained by any
Governmental Authority including any such list relating to petroleum;
(iii) No Lien has been recorded or, to the knowledge of any Company, threatened under
any Environmental Law with respect to any Real Property or other assets of the Companies;

the transactions contemplated hereby will not require any notification, registration,
filing, reporting, disclosure, investigation, remediation or cleanup pursuant to any
Governmental Real Property Disclosure Requirements or any other applicable Environmental
Law; and
-68-
(v) The Companies have made available to the Lenders all material records and files in
the possession, custody or control of, or otherwise reasonably available to, the Companies
concerning compliance with or liability under Environmental Law, including those concerning
the actual or suspected existence of Hazardous Material at Real Property or facilities
currently or formerly owned, operated, leased or used by the Companies.
SECTION 3.19 Insurance. Schedule 3.19 sets forth a true, complete and correct
description of all insurance maintained by each Company as of the Effective Date. All insurance
maintained by the Companies is in full force and effect, all premiums have been duly paid, no
Company has received notice of violation or cancellation thereof, the properties, and the use,
occupancy and operation thereof, comply in all material respects with all Insurance Requirements,
and there exists no default under any Insurance Requirement. Each Company has insurance in such
amounts and covering such risks and liabilities as are customary for companies of a similar size
engaged in similar businesses in similar locations.
SECTION 3.20 Security Documents.
(a) Security Agreement. The Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable Liens on, and

to no Liens other than Permitted Collateral Liens.
(b) PTO Filing; Copyright Office Filing. When the Security Agreement or a short form
thereof is filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright

security interests in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in Patents (as
defined in the Security Agreement) registered or applied for with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office or Copyrights (as defined in such Security Agreement) registered or applied for
with the United States Copyright Office, as the case may be, in each case subject to no Liens other
than Permitted Collateral Liens.
(c) Mortgages. Each Mortgage is effective to create, in favor of the Collateral
Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable first
priority Liens on, and security interests in, all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in
and to the Mortgaged Properties thereunder and the proceeds thereof, subject only to Permitted
Collateral Liens or other Liens acceptable to the Collateral Agent, and when the Mortgages are
filed in the offices specified in the local counsel opinion delivered with respect thereto in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.11 and 5.12, the Mortgages shall

the Loan Parties in such Collateral, in each case subject to no Liens other than the applicable
Permitted Collateral Liens.

Parties, none of its Affiliates is in violation of any Requirement of Law relating to terrorism or
money laundering (“Anti-Terrorism Laws”), including Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist

Security Documents but is not so subject, promptly (and (x) if acquired in connection with the
netASPx Transactions, not later than the Effective Date and (y) in any other event, within 30 days
after the acquisition thereof) (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent such amendments or supplements to the relevant Security Documents or such other
documents as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall deem necessary or advisable to
grant to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, a
Lien on such property subject to no Liens other than Permitted Collateral Liens, and (ii) take all
actions necessary to cause such Lien to be duly perfected to the extent required by such Security
Document in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law, including the filing of financing
statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.
Borrower shall otherwise take such actions and execute and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent such
documents as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall require to confirm the
validity, perfection and priority of the Lien of the Security Documents on such after-acquired
properties.
(b) With respect to any person that is or becomes a Subsidiary after the Original Closing
Date, promptly (and (x) if acquired in connection with the netASPx Transactions, not later than the
Effective Date and (y) in any other event, within 30 days after such person becomes a Subsidiary)
(i) deliver to the Collateral Agent the certificates, if any, representing all of the Equity
Interests of such Subsidiary, together with undated stock powers or other appropriate instruments
of transfer executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of the holder(s) of such
Equity Interests, and all intercompany notes owing from such Subsidiary to any Loan Party together
with instruments of transfer executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of such
Loan Party and (ii) cause such new Subsidiary (A) to execute a Joinder Agreement or such comparable
documentation to become a Subsidiary Guarantor and a joinder agreement to the applicable Security
Agreement, substantially in the form annexed thereto or, in the case of a Foreign Subsidiary,

necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to cause
the Lien created by the applicable Security Agreement to be duly perfected to the extent required
by such agreement in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law, including the filing of
financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the Equity Interests required to
be delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 5.11(b) shall
not include any Equity Interests of a Foreign Subsidiary created or acquired after the Original
Closing Date and (2) no Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to take the actions specified in
clause (ii) of this Section 5.11(b), if, in the case of either clause (1) or (2), doing so
would constitute an investment of earnings in United States property under Section 956 (or a
successor provision) of the Code, which investment would or could reasonably be expected to trigger
a material increase in the net income of a United States shareholder of such Subsidiary pursuant to
Section 951 (or a successor provision) of the Code, as reasonably determined by the Administrative
Agent; provided that this exception shall not apply to (A) Voting Stock of any Subsidiary which is
a first-tier controlled foreign corporation (as defined in Section 957(a) of the Code) representing
66% of the total voting power of all outstanding Voting Stock of such Subsidiary and (B) 100% of
the Equity Interests not constituting Voting Stock of any such Subsidiary, except that any such
Equity Interests constituting “stock entitled to vote” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.956-2(c)(2) shall be treated as Voting Stock for purposes of this Section
5.11(b).
(c) Promptly grant to the Collateral Agent, within 30 days of the acquisition thereof, a
security interest in and Mortgage on (i) each Real Property owned in fee by such Loan Party as is
acquired by such Loan Party after the Original Closing Date and that, together with any
improvements thereon, individually has a fair market value of at least $250,000, and (ii) other
than in the case of any
-82-
leased Real Property acquired at the time of consummation of the netASPx Transactions, and
otherwise unless the Administrative Agent waives such requirement, each leased Real Property of
such Loan Party which lease individually has a fair market value of at least $250,000, in each
case, as additional security for the Secured Obligations (unless the subject property is already
mortgaged to a third party to the extent permitted by Section 6.02). Such Mortgages shall
be granted pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and shall constitute valid and enforceable perfected
Liens subject only to Permitted Collateral Liens or other Liens acceptable to the Collateral Agent.
The Mortgages or instruments related thereto shall be duly recorded or filed in such manner and in
such places as are required by law to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor
of the Collateral Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Mortgages and all taxes, fees and
other charges payable in connection therewith shall be paid in full. Such Loan Party shall
otherwise take such actions and execute and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall require to confirm the validity, perfection
and priority of the Lien of any existing Mortgage or new Mortgage against such after-acquired Real
Property (including a Title Policy, a Survey and local counsel opinion (in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) in respect of such
Mortgage).
(d) Borrower may designate any Subsidiary acquired or formed after the Original Closing Date
as a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary by written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however,
that if at any time any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary or group of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries in the
aggregate (other than any Foreign Subsidiary that is not required to take the actions specified in
Section 5.11(b)(ii) by operation of the last sentence of Section 5.11(b)) not
otherwise subject to Section 5.11(b) has assets with either a book value or fair market
value in excess of $250,000, then Borrower shall, and shall cause one or more of such Subsidiaries
to, comply with Section 5.11(b) within the time frames set forth therein so that no
Non-Guarantor Subsidiary or group of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries in the aggregate holds property
having either a book value or fair market value in excess of $250,000.
SECTION 5.12 Security Interests; Further Assurances. Promptly, upon the reasonable
request of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, at Borrower’s expense,
execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution, acknowledgment and delivery of, and
thereafter register, file or record, or cause to be registered, filed or recorded, in an
appropriate governmental office, any document or instrument supplemental to or confirmatory of the
Security Documents or otherwise deemed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent
reasonably necessary or desirable for the continued validity, perfection and priority of the Liens
on the Collateral covered thereby subject to no other Liens except Permitted Collateral Liens, or
obtain any consents or waivers as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith. Deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent from time to time
such other documentation, consents, authorizations, approvals and orders in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem necessary to perfect or maintain the Liens on
the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents. Upon the exercise by the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent or any Lender of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to any Loan
Document which requires any consent, approval, registration, qualification or authorization of any
Governmental Authority execute and deliver all applications, certifications, instruments and other
documents and papers that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender may
require. If the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders determine that
they are required by a Requirement of Law to have appraisals prepared in respect of the Real
Property of any Loan Party constituting Collateral, Borrower shall provide to the Administrative
Agent appraisals that satisfy the applicable requirements of the Real Estate Appraisal Reform
Amendments of FIRREA and are otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE VII
GUARANTEE
SECTION 7.01 The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee, as
a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Secured Party and their respective successors and
assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment,
declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any
interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Title 11 of the
United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States
Code) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, Borrower, and all
other Secured Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Loan Party under
any Loan Document or any Hedging Agreement or Treasury Services Agreement entered into with a
counterparty that is a Secured Party, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof
(such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors
hereby jointly and severally agree that if Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full
when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice
whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
SECTION 7.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under
Section 7.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several,
irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed
Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or
instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other
guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other
circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense
of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or
impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and
unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:
(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for
any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended,
or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes,
if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or
omitted;
-98-
(iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of
the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan
Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be
amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise
dealt with;
(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, Issuing Bank or any
Lender or Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be
perfected; or
(v) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.09.
The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and
all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or
remedy or proceed against Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other
agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other
guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive any and all
notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or
acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively
be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all
dealings between Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have
been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a
continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any
right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by
Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be
conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time
of any right or remedy against Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable
in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or
guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full
force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the
Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders,
and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term
of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.
SECTION 7.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article
VII shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by
or on behalf of Borrower or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded
or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a
result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.
SECTION 7.04 Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the
indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the
expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive
any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any
performance by it of its guarantee in Section 7.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise,
against Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for
any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to
Section 6.01(d) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Secured Obligations in the
manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing such Indebtedness.
-99-
SECTION 7.05 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between
the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, if
any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.01 (and shall
be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section
8.01) for purposes of Section 7.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and
payable) as against Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being
deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and
payable by Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of
Section 7.01.
SECTION 7.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges
that the guarantee in this Article VII constitutes an instrument for the payment of money,
and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by
such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a
motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.
SECTION 7.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VII is a
continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
SECTION 7.08 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding
involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any
applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting
the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 7.01
would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or
subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under
Section 7.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such
liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other person,
be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of
contribution established in Section 7.10) that is valid and enforceable and not
subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
SECTION 7.09 Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions
of the Loan Documents, all or substantially all of the Equity Interests or property of any
Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a person or persons,
none of which is Borrower or a Subsidiary, such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation
of such sale or transfer, be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement
(including under Section 10.03 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any
Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document and, in the case of a sale of all or
substantially all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Guarantor, the pledge of such Equity
Interests to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreements shall be automatically
released, and, so long as Borrower shall have provided the Agents such certifications or documents
as any Agent shall reasonably request, the Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are
necessary to effect each release described in this Section 7.09 in accordance with the
relevant provisions of the Security Documents, so long as Borrower shall have provided the Agents
such certifications or documents as any Agent shall reasonably request in order to demonstrate
compliance with this Agreement.
SECTION 7.10 Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to
the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any
payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive
contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its
proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be
subject to the terms
-100-
and conditions of Section 7.04. The provisions of this Section 7.10 shall in no
respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, or any action shall
be legally taken by a judgment creditor to levy upon properties of any Company to enforce
any such judgment;
(j) one or more ERISA Events or noncompliance with respect to Foreign Plans shall have
occurred that, in the opinion of the Required Lenders, when taken together with all other

on any properties of a Company;
(k) any security interest and Lien purported to be created by any Security Document
shall cease to be in full force and effect, or shall cease to give the Collateral Agent, for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Liens, rights, powers and privileges purported to be
created and granted under such Security Document (including a perfected first priority
security interest in and Lien on all of the Collateral thereunder (except as otherwise
expressly provided in such Security Document)) in favor of the Collateral Agent, or shall be
asserted by Borrower or any other Loan Party not to be a valid, perfected, first priority
(except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document)
security interest in or Lien on the Collateral covered thereby;
-102-
(l) any Loan Document or any material provisions thereof shall at any time and for any
reason be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be null and void, or a proceeding
shall be commenced by any Loan Party or any other person, or by any Governmental Authority,
seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof (exclusive of questions of
interpretation of any provision thereof), or any Loan Party shall repudiate or deny any
portion of its liability or obligation for the Obligations;
(m) there shall have occurred a Change in Control; or
(n) any Company shall be prohibited or otherwise restrained from conducting the
business theretofore conducted by it in any manner that has or could reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect by virtue of any determination, ruling, decision,
decree or order of any court or Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction;
then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to Borrower described in paragraph
(g) or (h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the
Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to Borrower,
take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate
forthwith the Commitments and (ii) declare the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding
to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans and
Reimbursement Obligations so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon
and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other Obligations of Borrower accrued hereunder and under any
other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest
or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and the
Guarantors, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding; and in any event, with respect to Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h)
above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans and
Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid
accrued Fees and all other Obligations of Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan
Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any
other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and the Guarantors,
anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.02 Rescission. If at any time after termination of the Commitments or
acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all
payments on account of principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing by it that shall
have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent
permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Defaults (other than
non-payment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of
acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 10.02, then upon the written
consent of the Required Lenders and written notice to Borrower, the termination of the Commitments
or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall not
affect any subsequent Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of
the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders and the Issuing Bank to a decision
that may be made at the election of the Required Lenders, and such provisions are not intended to
benefit Borrower and do not give Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any
acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.
SECTION 8.03 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Collateral Agent
in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied, in
full or in part, together
-103-
with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, promptly by
the Collateral Agent as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees, commissions and
taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to the Collateral
Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or
incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith and all amounts for which the
Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of any Loan
Document, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect
under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid
in full;
(b) Second, to the payment of all other reasonable costs and expenses of such sale,
collection or other realization including compensation to the other Secured Parties and
their agents and counsel and all costs, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the
other Secured Parties in connection therewith, together with interest on each such amount at
the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is
due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;
(c) Third, without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clauses (a) and (b)
above, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash, pro rata, of interest and other amounts
constituting Obligations (other than principal, Reimbursement Obligations and obligations to
cash collateralize Letters of Credit) and any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments
due under Hedging Agreements or Treasury Services Agreements constituting Secured
Obligations and any interest accrued thereon, in each case equally and ratably in accordance
with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing;
(d) Fourth, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash, pro rata, of principal amount
of the Obligations and any premium thereon (including Reimbursement Obligations and
obligations to cash collateralize Letters of Credit) and any breakage, termination or other
payments under Hedging Agreements and Treasury Services Agreements constituting Secured
Obligations and any interest accrued thereon; and
(e) Fifth, the balance, if any, to the person lawfully entitled thereto (including the
applicable Loan Party or its successors or assigns) or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may direct.
In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in
clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 8.03, the Loan Parties shall remain liable, jointly
and severally, for any deficiency.
ARTICLE IX
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT
SECTION 9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank
hereby irrevocably appoints Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, acting through its New York agency,
to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents and authorizes such Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise
such powers as are delegated to such Agents by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such
actions and
-104-
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank,
and neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any
of such provisions.
SECTION 9.02 Rights as a Lender. Each person serving as an 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 an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each person serving as an
Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such person and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and
generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof
as if such person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders.
SECTION 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:
(i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other
Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly
provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that such Agent shall not be
required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose
such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements
of Law; and
(iii) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have
any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the
person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (x) with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances
as provided in Section 10.02) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given to such Agent by Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Bank.
No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder
or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of
the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this
-105-
Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of
any applicable law. Instead, such term us used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended
to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent will use an
outside service provider for the tracking of all UCC financing statements required to be filed
pursuant to the Loan Documents and notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other
things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that such service provider will be deemed to
be acting at the request and on behalf of Borrower and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be
liable for any action taken or not taken by such service provider.
SECTION 9.04 Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall
not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement,
instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet
website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent
or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made
to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall
not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be
fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume
that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the
making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for 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.
SECTION 9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties
and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through, or
delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent.
Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each 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 Agent.
SECTION 9.06 Resignation of Agent. Each Agent may at any time give notice of its
resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a
successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such
bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the
Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if
the Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the
retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee
-106-
until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through an Agent shall instead be
made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the
retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph).
The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring
Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Article IX and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring 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 the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
SECTION 9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing
Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any 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 further represents and
warrants that it has reviewed the Confidential Information Memorandum and each other document made
available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted
the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any 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 taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder.
SECTION 9.08 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
none of the Bookrunner, Sole Lead Arranger, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent listed on the
cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.

Administrative Questionnaire.
Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall
be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been
given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be
deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient).
Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below,
shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).
(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and
the Issuing Bank hereunder may (subject to Section 10.01(d)) be delivered or furnished by
electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to
procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to
notices to any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the
-108-
Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic
communication. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion,
agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications
pursuant to procedures approved by it (including as set forth in Section 10.01(d));
provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications
sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement
from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available,
return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other
communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day
for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website
shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as
described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is
available and identifying the website address therefor.
(c) Change of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address or telecopier
number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.
(d) Posting. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will provide to the
Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish
to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including all
notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other
information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a
new, or a conversion of an existing, Borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election
of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any
principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii)
provides notice of any Default under this Agreement or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy
any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other
extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications, collectively, the
“Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or at such other e-mail address(es) provided to
Borrower from time to time or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the
Administrative Agent shall require. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the
Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative
Agent shall require. Nothing in this Section 10.01 shall prejudice the right of the
Agents, any Lender or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or as any such Agent shall require.
To the extent consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time,
Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its
e-mail address(es) set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the
Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents; provided that Borrower shall also deliver
to the Administrative Agent an executed original of each Compliance Certificate required to be
delivered hereunder.
Each Loan Party further agrees that Administrative Agent may make the Communications available
to the Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks or a substantially similar electronic
transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The
Agents do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the
-109-
Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the communications. No
warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or
freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent in connection with the
Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related
Parties have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other person for damages of any
kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or
expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the
Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Internet, except to the extent
the liability of such person is found in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 10.02 Waivers; Amendment.
(a) Generally. No failure or delay by any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document 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 each Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are
not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision
of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by this Section 10.02, 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 any Agent, any
Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice
or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Required Consents. Subject to Sections 10.02(c), (d), neither
this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived,
amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement
or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and the Administrative Agent or, in the case of
any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (in the case of any Security Document) and the Loan
Party or Loan Parties that are party thereto, in each case with the written consent of the Required
Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall be effective if the effect thereof would:
(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender
(it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with
respect to any condition precedent, covenant or Default shall constitute an increase in the
Commitment of any Lender);
(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of
interest thereon (other than interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or reduce any
Fees payable hereunder, or change the form or currency of payment of any Obligation, without
the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that any
amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not
constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (ii));
-110-
(iii) (A) change the scheduled final maturity of any Loan, or any scheduled date of
payment of or the installment otherwise due on the principal amount of any Term Loan under
Section 2.09, (B) postpone the date for payment of any Reimbursement Obligation or
any interest or fees payable hereunder, (C) change the amount of, waive or excuse any such
payment (other than waiver of any increase in the interest rate pursuant to Section
2.06(c)), or (D) postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment or any
Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Maturity Date, in any case, without the written
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(iv) increase the maximum duration of Interest Periods hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(v) permit the assignment or delegation by Borrower of any of its rights or obligations
under any Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender;
(vi) release any material Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee (except as expressly
provided in Article VII), or limit its liability in respect of such Guarantee,
without the written consent of each Lender;
(vii) release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral from the Liens of the
Security Documents or alter the relative priorities of the Secured Obligations entitled to
the Liens of the Security Documents, in each case without the written consent of each Lender
(it being understood that additional Classes of Loans pursuant to Section 2.18 or
consented to by the Required Lenders may be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral
with the then existing Secured Obligations under the Security Documents);
(viii) change Section 2.14(b), (c) or (d) in a manner that
would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby or any other
provision in a manner that would alter the pro rata allocation among the Lenders of Loan
disbursements, including the requirements of Sections 2.02(a) and 2.17(d),
without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(ix) change any provision of this Section 10.02(b) or Section 10.02(c)
or (d), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except
for additional restrictions on amendments or waivers for the benefit of Lenders of
additional Classes of Loans pursuant to Section 2.18 or consented to by the Required
Lenders);
(x) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Required
Class Lenders,” “Required Revolving Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document
(including this Section) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any
Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or
grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of
such Class, as the case may be), other than to increase such percentage or number or to give
any additional Lender or group of Lenders such right to waive, amend or modify or make any
such determination or grant any such consent;
(xi) change the application of prepayments as among or between Classes under
Section 2.10(h), without the written consent of the Required Class Lenders of each
Class that is being allocated a lesser prepayment as a result thereof (it being understood
that the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the
application, as between Classes, of
-111-
any portion of such prepayment that is still required to be made is not changed and, if
additional Classes of Term Loans under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.18 or
consented to by the Required Lenders are made, such new Term Loans may be included on a pro
rata basis in the various prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.10(h));
(xii) change or waive the application of prepayments of Term Loans of any Class set
forth in Section 2.10(h) to the remaining scheduled amortization payments to be made
thereon under Section 2.09, without the written consent of the Required Class
Lenders of such Class;
(xiii) subordinate the Obligations to any other obligation, without the written consent
of each Lender;
(xiv) change or waive any provision of Article X as the same applies to any
Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any
Agent, in each case without the written consent of such Agent;
(xv) change or waive any obligation of the Lenders relating to the issuance of or
purchase of participations in Letters of Credit, without the written consent of the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank;
(xvi) expressly change or waive any condition precedent in Section 4.02 to any
Revolving Borrowing without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders;
provided, further, that any waiver, amendment or modification prior to the completion of the
primary syndication of the Commitments and Loans (as determined by the Sole Lead Arranger) may not
be effected without the written consent of the Sole Lead Arranger.
(c) Collateral. Without the consent of any other person, the applicable Loan Party or
Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in its or their respective sole
discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment or
waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting,
perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or
additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by
local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable
Requirements of Law.
(d) Dissenting Lenders. If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge
or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 10.02(b), the
consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders
whose consent is required is not obtained, then Borrower shall have the right to replace all, but
not less than all, of such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (so long as all non-consenting Lenders
are so replaced) with one or more persons pursuant to Section 2.16 so long as at the time
of such replacement each such new Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination. Each Lender agrees that, if Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance with
this Section, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any
Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment and
Assumption; provided that the failure of any such non-consenting Lender to execute an Assignment
and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid
and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.
-112-
SECTION 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Sole Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their
respective Affiliates (including, but not limited to, the fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel for the Sole Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent and
expenses incurred in connection with due diligence prior to the Effective Date and travel, courier,
reproductions, printing and delivery expense) in connection with the syndication of the credit

the other Loan Documents, including any Collateral Audit, or any amendments, modifications or
waivers (including, without limitation, proposed amendments, proposed modifications and proposed
waivers) of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby shall be consummated), including in connection with post-closing searches to confirm
that security filings and recordations have been properly made and including any costs and expenses
of the service provider referred to in Section 9.03, (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, (iii) all out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank
(including, but not limited to, the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank), in connection with (I)
the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.03, or (B) 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 and (II) the exercise of its rights under Section 5.07(a) if at such time an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iv) all documentary and similar taxes and
charges in respect of the Loan Documents.
(b) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify the Sole Lead Arranger, the
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof)
each Lender and the Issuing Bank, 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 costs and expenses (including the fees, charges
and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against
any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or
proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (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 or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property owned,
leased or operated by any Company at any time, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any
Company, 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, whether brought by a
third party or by Borrower or any other Loan Party, 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 (x) 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 or (y) result from a claim brought by Borrower
or any other Loan Party
-113-
against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or
under any other Loan Document, if Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and
nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.03 to be
paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent, the
Issuing Bank, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof),
the Issuing Bank, or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought)
of such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party hereto or any third
party); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or
related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent
(or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Bank in its
capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof),
Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph
(c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.14. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro
rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposure,
outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Requirements of Law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party 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, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of
the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any
damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials
distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby.
(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 3
Business Days after demand therefor.
SECTION 10.04 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible
Assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04, (ii) by
way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of
this Section 10.04 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto
shall be null and void). 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, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the
-114-
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related parties of each of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time with written notice to the
Administrative Agent assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it); provided that
(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to
a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding
thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal
outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and
Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1.0 million, unless each of the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the
Loan or the Commitment assigned;
(iii) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment must be approved by the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Lender unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a
Lender with a Revolving Commitment (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise
qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and
(iv) with respect to each assignment, the assigning Lender, the Eligible Assignee and
any Person whose consent is required by this Section 10.04 shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500 (except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the
assigning Lender or an Approved Fund of the assigning Lender, the processing and recordation
fee shall be $500), and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and an original tax form.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c)
of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14,
2.15 and 10.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the
effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04(b) shall be treated for purposes
of this Agreement as a sale
-115-
by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d)
of this Section 10.04.
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitments of, and principal amounts 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall 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 Borrower, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may, at any time, sell participations to any person
(other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii)
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under 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 clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first
proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of
this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 10.03 (subject to the
requirements of those Sections) 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 10.08 as though it were
a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of
each Participant and the principal amount of each Participant’s interest in the Loans held by it
(the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant
Register as the owner of such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all
purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any such Participant
Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Limitations on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to
such Participant except to the extent that the entitlement to any greater payment results from any
change in Requirements of Law after the Participant becomes a Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent.
-116-
(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time (without any notice, consent or
processing and recordation fee required hereunder) pledge, grant a security interest in or make an
assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate of such Lender
and/or to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank (or any funding or financing source of
any Lender) and, in the case of any Lender that is a Fund, any pledge, security interest in or
assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued by, such Lender including to
any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders; provided that no such pledge,
security interest or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or,
except in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.04(b), substitute any such pledgee or
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 10.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents 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 Agents, 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 Sections 2.12, 2.14, 2.15 and Article
X (other than Section 10.12) shall survive and remain in full force and effect
regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans,
the payment of the Reimbursement Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.
(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken
together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other 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 that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other
parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include
electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the
same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any
applicable Requirement of Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state
laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
-117-
SECTION 10.07 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 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of
Borrower or such Loan Party existing on the Original Closing Date or thereafter under this
Agreement (or the Original Credit Agreement, as applicable) or any other Loan Document to such
Lender or the Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall
have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations
of Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of
such Lender or the Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or
obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender
and the Issuing Bank agrees to notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such
setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
of such setoff and application.
SECTION 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would
require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District
Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of
any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York
State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of
the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any
right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party
or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Waiver of Venue. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, 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 or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 10.09(b).
Each of the par-

ties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Requirements of Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or

(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process
in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided
for notices (other than telecopier) in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner
permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.
SECTION 10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Loan Party hereby waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Requirements of 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, 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.
SECTION 10.11 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 10.12 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank agrees to maintain the confidentiality of
the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates
and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents,
advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is
made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or regulatory
authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) to
an investor or a prospective investor in an Approved Fund or securities issued by an Approved Fund,
(g) to a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder, or secured party in
connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on assets serving as collateral for

with ratings issued in respect of securities of an Approved Fund, (i) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.12, 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 actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors)
to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations or (iii) any rating
agency for the purpose of obtaining a credit rating applicable to any Lender, (j) with the consent
of Borrower or (k) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a
source other than Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information
received from Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure
by Borrower or any
-119-
of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries after the Original Closing 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 to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such person would accord to its own confidential information.
SECTION 10.13 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act
(as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender)
hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the
name, address and tax identification number of Borrower and other information regarding Borrower
that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in
accordance with the Patriot Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the
Patriot Act and is effective as to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.14 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, 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 Requirements of Law
(collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may
be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in
accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, 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.
SECTION 10.15 Lender Addendum. Each Lender that became a party to the Original Credit
Agreement on the Original Closing Date did so by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender
Addendum duly executed by such Lender, Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Lender to
become a party to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or committing to an Additional Term Loan
Commitment as of the Effective Date, shall do so by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender
Addendum duly executed by such Lender, Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.16 Obligations Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Requirements of Law, all obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of:
(a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition,
liquidation or the like of any Loan Party;
(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or
instrument relating thereto against any Loan Party;
(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any
of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any
Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
-120-
(d) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other Collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the
Obligations;
(e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under
or in respect hereof or any Loan Document; or
(f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, the Loan Parties.
SECTION 10.17 Acknowledgements. Each Loan Party hereby (i) expressly acknowledges
the terms of this Agreement, (ii) ratifies and affirms its obligations under the Loan Documents
(including guarantees and security agreements) executed by such Loan Party and (iii) acknowledges,
renews and extends its continued liability under all such Loan Documents and agrees such Loan
Documents remain in full force and effect, including with respect to the obligations of the
Borrowers as modified by this Agreement. Each Loan Party further represents and warrants to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders that after
giving effect to this Agreement, neither the modification of the Original Credit Agreement effected
pursuant to this Agreement, nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this
Agreement (a) impairs the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to any
Loan Document (as such term is defined in the Original Credit Agreement), and such Liens continue
unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations, whether heretofore or
hereafter incurred; or (b) requires that any new filings be made or other action taken to perfect
or to maintain the perfection of such Liens.

Each change in the Applicable Margin shall be effective with respect to all Loans and
Letters of Credit outstanding on and after the date of delivery to the Administrative Agent of the
financial statements and certificates required by Section 5.01(a) or (b) and
Section 5.01(d), respectively, indicating such change until the date immediately preceding
the next date of delivery of such financial statements and certificates indicating another such
change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be in Level I (i)
from the Original Closing Date to the date of delivery to the Administrative Agent of the financial
statements and certificates required by Section 5.01(a) or (b) and Section
5.01(d) for the fiscal period ended at least six months after the Original Closing Date, (ii)
at any time during which Borrower has failed to deliver the financial statements and certificates
required by Section 5.01(a) or (b) and Section 5.01(d), respectively, and
(iii) at any time during the existence of an Event of Default.
In the event that any financial statement or Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 5.01 is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are
in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected would have led to
a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin
applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) Borrower shall immediately deliver to the
Administrative Agent a correct Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the
Applicable Margin shall be determined as if Level I were applicable for such Applicable Period, and
(iii) Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the additional interest owing as a
result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be
promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. This paragraph
shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder.

Tax Documents
NON-U.S. LENDER INSTITUTIONS:
I. Corporations:
If your institution is incorporated outside of the United States for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, and is the beneficial owner of the interest and other income it receives, you must
complete one of the following three tax forms, as applicable to your institution: a.) Form W-8BEN
(Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner), b.) Form W-8ECI (Income Effectively Connected
to a U.S. Trade or Business), or c.) Form W-8EXP (Certificate of Foreign Government or Governmental
Agency).
A U.S. taxpayer identification number is required for any institution submitting Form W-8ECI. It is
also required on Form W-8BEN for certain institutions claiming the benefits of a tax treaty with
the U.S. Please refer to the instructions when completing the form applicable to your institution.
In addition, please be advised that U.S. tax regulations do not permit the acceptance of faxed
forms. An original tax form must be submitted.
II. Flow-Through Entities:
If your institution is organized outside the U.S., and is classified for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as either a Partnership, Trust, Qualified or Non-Qualified Intermediary, or other non-
U.S. flow-through entity, an original Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign
Flow-Through Entity, or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding) must be completed
by the intermediary together with a withholding statement. Flow-through entities other than
Qualified Intermediaries are required to include tax forms for each of the underlying beneficial
owners.
Please refer to the instructions when completing this form. In addition, please be advised that
U.S. tax regulations do not permit the acceptance of faxed forms. Original tax form(s) must be
submitted.
U.S. LENDER INSTITUTIONS:
If your institution is incorporated or organized within the United States, you must complete and

WHEREAS, [NAME OF GRANTOR], a [Type of Person] (“Tenant”), has possession of and occupies all
or a portion of the property described on Exhibit A;
WHEREAS, Tenant’s interest in the Premises arises under the lease agreement (the “Lease”) more

upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, to take possession of, and otherwise assert
control over, the Premises;
WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June [ ], 2007 (as
it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”; the terms defined
therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined), by and among
NAVISITE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Lenders, CIBC
WORLD MARKETS CORP., as sole lead arranger, documentation agent and bookrunner, CIT LENDING
SERVICES CORPORATION, as syndication agent, and Collateral Agent, as issuing bank, as
administrative agent and collateral agent for the Secured Parties and the Issuing Bank pursuant to
which Tenant has executed a security agreement, mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt and
assignments of rents and leases, and other collateral documents in relation to the Credit
Agreement;
WHEREAS, Tenant’s repayment of the extensions of credit made by Lenders under the Credit
Agreement will be secured, in part, by all personal property, inventory, accounts, goods,
machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures (together with all additions, substitutions,
replacements and improvements to, and proceeds of, the foregoing, collectively, the “Collateral”);
and
WHEREAS, Collateral Agent has requested that Landlord execute this Agreement as a condition to
the extension of credit to Tenant under the Credit Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby
represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, Collateral Agent as follows:
G-1
1. Landlord hereby (a) waives and releases unto Collateral Agent and its successors and
assigns any and all rights granted by or under any present or future laws to levy or distraint for
rent or any other charges which may be due to Landlord against the Collateral, and any and all
other claims, liens and demands of every kind which it now has or may hereafter have against the
Collateral, and (b) agrees that any rights it may have in or to the Collateral, no matter how
arising (to the extent not effectively waived pursuant to clause (a) of this paragraph, shall be
second and subordinate to the rights of Collateral Agent in respect thereof. Landlord acknowledges
that the Collateral is and will remain personal property and not fixtures even though it may be
affixed to or placed on the Premises.
2. Landlord certifies that (a) Landlord is the landlord under the Lease, (b) the Lease is in
full force and effect and has not been amended, modified, or supplemented except as set forth on
Exhibit B annexed hereto, (c) to the knowledge of Landlord, there is no defense, offset,
claim or counterclaim by or in favor of Landlord against Tenant under the Lease or against the
obligations of Landlord under the Lease, (d) no notice of default has been given under or in
connection with the Lease which has not been cured, and Landlord has no knowledge of the occurrence
of any other default under or in connection with the Lease, and (e) except as disclosed to
Collateral Agent, no portion of the Premises is encumbered in any way by any deed of trust or
mortgage lien or ground or superior lease.
3. Landlord consents to the installation or placement of the Collateral on the Premises, and
Landlord grants to Collateral Agent a license to enter upon and into the Premises to do any or all
of the following with respect to the Collateral: assemble, have appraised, display, remove,
maintain, prepare for sale or lease, repair, transfer, or sell (at public or private sale). In
entering upon or into the Premises, Collateral Agent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord caused solely by Collateral Agent’s entering upon or into the Premises and
taking any of the foregoing actions with respect to the Collateral. Such costs shall be limited to
any damage to the Premises made by Collateral Agent in severing and/or removing the Collateral
therefrom and will not include any consequential damages. Collateral Agent shall not be liable for
any diminution in value of the Premises caused by the absence of Collateral actually removed or by
the need to replace the Collateral after such removal.
4. Landlord agrees that it will not prevent Collateral Agent or its designee from entering
upon the Premises at all reasonable times to inspect or remove the Collateral. In the event that
Landlord has the right to, and desires to, obtain possession of the Premises (either through
expiration of the Lease or termination thereof due to the default of Tenant thereunder), Landlord
will deliver notice (the “Landlord’s Notice”) to Collateral Agent to that effect. Within the
120-day period after Collateral Agent receives the Landlord’s Notice (the “Standstill
Period”), Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the
Collateral to be removed from the Premises. During such 120-day period, Landlord will not remove
the Collateral from the Premises nor interfere with Collateral Agent’s actions in removing the
Collateral from the Premises or Collateral Agent’s actions in otherwise enforcing its security
interest in the Collateral. Upon the request of Collateral Agent made on or prior to the end of
the Standstill Period, Landlord agrees to enter into a new lease with Collateral Agent (or its
nominee) on the same terms and conditions as the Lease provided Collateral Agent has theretofore
cured all monetary defaults (if any) under the Lease. Collateral Agent shall have the
G-2
right, but not the obligation, during the Standstill Period, to cure any such default and Landlord shall
accept any such cure by Collateral Agent or Lessee. If, during the Standstill Period, Collateral
Agent or Lessee or any other Person cures any such default, then Landlord shall rescind the notice
of default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, Collateral Agent shall at
no time have any obligation to remove the Collateral from the Premises.
5. In the event of a termination, disaffirmance or rejection of the Lease for any reason,
including, without limitation, pursuant to any laws (including any bankruptcy or other insolvency
laws) by Tenant or the termination of the Lease for any reason by Landlord, Landlord will give the
Collateral Agent the right, within sixty (60) days of such event, provided all monetary defaults
under the Lease have been cured, to enter into a new lease of the Premises, in the name of the
Collateral Agent (or a designee to be named by the Collateral Agent at the time), for the remainder
of the term of the Lease and upon all of the terms and conditions thereof, or, if the Collateral
Agent shall elect not to exercise such right (such election to be made by Collateral Agent at its
sole discretion).
6. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease, any acquisition of
Tenant’s interest by Collateral Agent, its nominee, or the purchaser at any foreclosure sale
conducted by Collateral Agent shall not create a default under, or require Landlord’s consent
under, the Lease.
7. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the successors and assigns of Landlord (including, without limitation, any successor owner of
the Premises) and Collateral Agent. Landlord will disclose the terms and conditions of this
Agreement to any purchaser or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Premises.
8. Landlord shall send to Collateral Agent a copy of any notice of default under the Lease
sent by Landlord to Tenant. In addition, Landlord shall send to Collateral Agent a copy of any
notice received by Landlord of a breach or default under any other lease, mortgage, deed of trust,
security agreement or other instrument to which Landlord is a party which may affect Landlord’s
rights in, or possession of, the Premises.
9. All notices to Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent to
Collateral Agent at its address set forth on the signature page hereof by telefacsimile, by United
States mail, or by overnight delivery service.
10. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect until Landlord shall have
received Collateral Agent’s written certification that all amounts advanced under the Credit
Agreement have been paid in full.

Pledgor has any Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts other than those listed in
Schedule 14 to the Perfection Certificate. The Collateral Agent has a first
priority security interest in each such Securities Account and Commodity Account, which
security interest is perfected by Control. No Pledgor shall hereafter establish and
maintain any Securities Account or Commodity Account with any Securities Intermediary or
Commodity Intermediary unless (1) it shall have given the Collateral Agent 30 days’ prior
written notice of its intention to establish such new Securities Account or Commodity
Account with such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, (2) such Securities
Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary shall be reasonably acceptable to the Collateral

shall not give any Entitlement Orders or instructions or directions to any issuer of
uncertificated securities, Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, and shall not
withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such Pledgor,
unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any
such investment and withdrawal rights, would occur. The provisions of this Section
3.4(c) shall not apply to any Financial Assets credited to a Securities Account for
which the Collateral Agent is the Securities Intermediary. No Pledgor shall grant Control
over any Investment Property to any person other than the Collateral Agent.
(ii) As between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgors, the Pledgors shall bear the
investment risk with respect to the Investment Property and Pledged Securities, and the risk
of loss of, damage to, or the destruction of the Investment Property and Pledged

Securities, whether in the possession of, or maintained as a Security Entitlement or
deposit by, or subject to the Control of, the Collateral Agent, a Securities Intermediary, a
Commodity Intermediary, any Pledgor or any other person.
(d) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. As of the date hereof,
no amount under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral is evidenced by any
Electronic Chattel Paper or any “transferable record” (as that term is defined in Section
201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section
16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction)
other than such Electronic Chattel Paper and transferable records listed in Schedule
11 to the Perfection Certificate. If any amount payable under or in connection with any
of the Pledged Collateral shall be evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any
transferable record, the Pledgor acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable
record shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and shall take such action as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent control of such
Electronic Chattel Paper under Section 9-105 of the UCC or control under Section 201 of the
Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be,
Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction,
of such transferable record. The requirement in the preceding sentence shall not apply to
the extent that such amount, together with all amounts payable evidenced by Electronic
Chattel Paper or any transferable record in which the Collateral Agent has not been vested

does not exceed $50,000 for any individual Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable
record or $500,000 in the aggregate for all such Electronic Chattel Paper and transferable
records of the Pledgors. The Collateral Agent agrees with such Pledgor that the Collateral
Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and so long
as such procedures will not result in the Collateral Agent’s loss of control, for the
Pledgor to make alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record permitted
under Section 9-105 of the UCC or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action
by such Pledgor with respect to such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record.
(e) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Pledgor is at any time a beneficiary under
a Letter of Credit now or hereafter issued, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the
Collateral Agent thereof and such Pledgor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent,
pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such Letter of Credit to
consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the
Letter of Credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that
the proceeds

in writing signed by such Pledgor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Collateral
Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the
terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. The requirement in the preceding sentence shall not
apply to the extent that the amount of such Commercial Tort Claim does not exceed $50,000
individually and does not exceed, together with the amount of all other Commercial Tort
Claims held by any Pledgor in which the Collateral Agent does not have a security interest

Agreement, as applicable, and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Bailee Letter,
Landlord Access Agreement and/or landlord’s lien waiver, as applicable, from all such
bailees and landlords, as applicable, who from time to time have possession of any Pledged
Collateral if reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent. A waiver of bailee’s lien shall
not be required if the value of the Pledged Collateral held by such bailee is less than
$10,000, provided that the aggregate value of the Pledged Collateral held by all bailees who
have not delivered a Bailee Letter is less than $200,000 in the aggregate

shall deliver to the Collateral Agent originals of the certificates of title or ownership

ownership) owned by it, with the Collateral Agent listed as lienholder therein. Such
requirement shall not apply if any such motor vehicle (or any such other Equipment) is
valued at less than $50,000, provided that the aggregate value of all motor vehicles (and
such Equipment) as to which any Pledgor has not delivered a certificate of title or
ownership is less than $500,000.

the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the provisions of the
Credit Agreement, (a) to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent (i) a Joinder Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto and (ii) a Perfection Certificate, in each
case, within thirty (30) days of the date on which it was acquired or created or (b) in the case of
a Subsidiary organized outside of the United States required to pledge any assets to the Collateral
Agent, to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documentation as the Collateral
-15-
Agent shall reasonably request and, in each case with respect to clauses (a) and (b)
above, upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary shall constitute a “Guarantor” and a
“Pledgor” for all purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a
Guarantor and Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement shall not
require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor and Pledgor
as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 3.6. Supplements; Further Assurances. Each Pledgor shall take such further actions, and
execute and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional financing statements, amendments,
assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may in its
reasonable judgment deem necessary or appropriate in order to create, perfect, preserve and protect
the security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and the rights and interests
granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, to carry into effect the purposes hereof or better to
assure and confirm the validity, enforceability and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security
interest in the Pledged Collateral or permit the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its
rights, powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral, including the filing
of financing statements, continuation statements and other documents (including this Agreement)
under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with
respect to the security interest created hereby and the execution and delivery of Control
Agreements, all in forms reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and in such offices
(including the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office)
wherever required by law to perfect, continue and maintain the validity, enforceability and
priority of the security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and to preserve the
other rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, as against third parties,
with respect to the Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Pledgor shall make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file or refile and/or deliver to the Collateral
Agent from time to time upon reasonable request by the Collateral Agent such lists, schedules,
descriptions and designations of the Pledged Collateral, copies of warehouse receipts, receipts in
the nature of warehouse receipts, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers, invoices,
schedules, confirmatory assignments, supplements, additional security agreements, conveyances,
financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other
assurances or instruments as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request. If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or
in the name of any Pledgor, such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may be advised by
counsel shall be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security interest in or
the perfection thereof in the Pledged Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost
and expense of the Pledgors.

owns and has rights and, as to Pledged Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date
hereof, will own and have rights in each item of Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder, free
and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. In addition, no Liens or claims exist on the

adverse to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party other than Permitted Liens. There is no
agreement, order, judgment or decree, and no Pledgor shall enter into any agreement or take any

paid to any Pledgor after the Collateral Agent has exercised its right to foreclose after an Event

CERTAIN PROVISIONS CONCERNING INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY COLLATERAL
SECTION 6.1. Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the
Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies
under Article IX hereof at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to
exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Pledgor hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, assign,
license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired
by such Pledgor, wherever the same may be located. Such license shall include access to all media

Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) promptly following its becoming aware thereof,
notify the Collateral Agent of any adverse determination in any proceeding or the institution of
any proceeding in any federal, state or local court or administrative body or in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office regarding any Material

(ii) maintain all Material Intellectual Property Collateral as presently used and operated,
(iii) not permit to lapse or become abandoned any Material Intellectual Property Collateral, and

promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any event which may be reasonably expected to

Collateral or the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent in relation thereto including a levy
or threat of levy or any legal process against any Material Intellectual Property Collateral,
(v) not license any Intellectual Property Collateral other than licenses entered into by such
Pledgor in, or incidental to, the ordinary course of business, or amend or permit the amendment of
any of the licenses in a manner that materially and adversely affects the right to receive payments
thereunder, or in any manner that would materially impair the value of any Intellectual Property
Collateral or the Lien on and security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral created
therein hereby, without the consent of the Collateral Agent, (vi) diligently keep adequate records
respecting all Intellectual Property Collateral and (vii) furnish to the Collateral Agent from time
to time upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor reasonably detailed statements and amended

SECTION 6.3. After-Acquired Property. If any Pledgor shall at any time after the date

entitled to the benefit of any additional Intellectual Property Collateral or any renewal or
extension thereof, including any reissue, division, continuation, or continuation-in-part of any
Intellectual Property Collateral, or any improvement on any Intellectual Property Collateral, or if
any intent-to use trademark application is no longer subject to clause (c) of the definition of
Excluded Property, the provisions hereof shall automatically apply thereto and any such item
enumerated in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall automatically constitute Intellectual Property
Collateral as if such would have constituted Intellectual Property Collateral at the time of
execution hereof and be subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement without
further action by any party. Each Pledgor shall promptly provide to the Collateral Agent written
notice of any of the foregoing and confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created
by this Agreement to any rights described in clauses (i) and (ii) above by execution of an
instrument in form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the filing of any instruments

Collateral of such Pledgor acquired or arising after the date hereof.
SECTION 6.4. Litigation. Unless there shall occur and be continuing any Event of
Default, each Pledgor shall have the right to commence and prosecute in its own name, as the party
in interest, for its own benefit and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, such
applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and suits, proceedings or other
actions to prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in
value or other damage as are necessary to protect the Intellectual Property Collateral. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have
-22-
the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the
Intellectual Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent
or the Secured Parties to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder.
In the event of such suit, each Pledgor shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent,
do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents requested by the Collateral Agent in
aid of such enforcement and the Pledgors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral
Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of its rights
under this Section 6.4 in accordance with Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement.

Property Collateral, each Pledgor agrees, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, to
take all commercially reasonable actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to
prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value of or
other damage to any of the Intellectual Property Collateral by any person.

Receivables to be collected in accordance with generally accepted commercial collection
procedures), any and all amounts owing under or on account of such Receivable, and apply forthwith
upon receipt thereof all such amounts as are so collected to the outstanding balance of such
Receivable, except that any Pledgor may, with respect to a Receivable, allow in the ordinary course
of business (i) a refund or credit due as a result of returned or damaged or defective merchandise
and (ii) such extensions of time to pay amounts due in respect of Receivables and such other
modifications of payment terms or settlements in respect of Receivables as shall be commercially
reasonable in the circumstances, all in accordance with such Pledgor’s ordinary course of business

in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the
following remedies:
(i) Personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof, from any Pledgor or any other person who then has possession of any
part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may
-24-
enter upon any Pledgor’s premises where any of the Pledged Collateral is located, remove such
Pledged Collateral, remain present at such premises to receive copies of all communications and
remittances relating to the Pledged Collateral and use in connection with such removal and

any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Pledged Collateral to make
any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the
Collateral Agent, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time
for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, however,
that in the event that any such payments are made directly to any Pledgor, prior to receipt by any
such obligor of such instruction, such Pledgor shall segregate all amounts received pursuant
thereto in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall promptly (but in no event later
than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Collateral Agent;
(iii) Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Pledgor to
sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole
or in part with the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of
any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;
(iv) Take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Pledgor
in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any place or places so designated by the

same to be moved to the place or places designated by the Collateral Agent and therewith delivered
to the Collateral Agent, (B) store and keep any Pledged Collateral so delivered to the Collateral
Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent and (C) while the
Pledged Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as
shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition. Each
Pledgor’s obligation to deliver the Pledged Collateral as contemplated in this
Section 9.1(iv) is of the essence hereof. Upon application to a court of equity having
jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by
any Pledgor of such obligation;
(v) Withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank, financial
securities, deposit or other account of any Pledgor constituting Pledged Collateral for application
to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article X hereof;
(vi) Retain and apply the Distributions to the Secured Obligations as provided in
Article X hereof;

including perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights
and powers with respect to any Pledged Collateral; and
-25-

the Collateral Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified in
Section 9.2 hereof, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Pledged Collateral or any
part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or
at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery,
and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially
reasonable. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates
may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof
at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment
of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold, assigned or licensed
at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to such person as a credit on
account of the purchase price of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof payable by such person
at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the
property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any
Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights of
redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any
rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof regardless of notice of
sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of
the fact that the price at which the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof may have been sold,
assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained
at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer
such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.
SECTION 9.2. Notice of Sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent
notice of sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof shall be required
by law, ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of
the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be
commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to any Pledgor
if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying
any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.
SECTION 9.3. Waiver of Notice and Claims. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral
Agent’s taking possession or the Collateral Agent’s disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any
part thereof, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies
and any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under law, and each Pledgor hereby
further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) all damages occasioned by
such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or
other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and
(iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium
-26-
now or hereafter in force under any applicable law. The Collateral Agent shall not be
liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article IX in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent. Any sale
of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral
shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity,
of the applicable Pledgor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in
equity against such Pledgor and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to claim the
Pledged Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under
such Pledgor.
SECTION 9.4. Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral.
(a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules,
regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with
respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who
meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such
sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable
through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees
that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner
and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have no
obligation to engage in public sales.
(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with
respect to any sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral and Investment Property, to
limit purchasers to persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities
Collateral or Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at
prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public
sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration
statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such
private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the
sale of any Securities Collateral or Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit
the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the
Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Pledgor shall, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent, cause any registration, qualification under or compliance with any
Federal or state securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the
Securities Collateral as soon as practicable and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors.
Each Pledgor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to be effected
(and be kept effective) and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as
-27-
would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Securities Collateral including
registration under the Securities Act (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate
qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance
with all other requirements of any Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Collateral Agent to be kept advised in writing as to the progress
of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, shall
furnish to the Collateral Agent such number of prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents
incident thereto as the Collateral Agent from time to time may request, and shall indemnify and
shall cause the issuer of the Securities Collateral to indemnify the Collateral Agent and all
others participating in the distribution of such Securities Collateral against all claims, losses,
damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material
fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by
any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement,
notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading.
(d) If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the
Securities Collateral or Investment Property, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall
from time to time furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may
request in order to determine the number of securities included in the Securities Collateral or
Investment Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under the
Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are
from time to time in effect.
(e) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this
Section 9.4 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in
respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this
Section 9.4 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby
waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such
covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 9.5. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
(a) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with
respect to, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Collateral Agent be
required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. All
rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law or otherwise available.
(b) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
-28-
by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral
Agent, then and in every such case, the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party
shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the
Pledged Collateral, and all rights, remedies, privileges and powers of the Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 9.6. Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property. If any Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent,
each Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of the
registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights and Goodwill and such other documents as are
necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. Within five (5) Business
Days of written notice thereafter from the Collateral Agent, each Pledgor shall make available to
the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Pledgor’s power and authority, such personnel in
such Pledgor’s employ on the date of the Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
designate to permit such Pledgor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and
sell the products and services sold by such Pledgor under the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or
Copyrights, and such persons shall be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral
Agent’s behalf.
ARTICLE X
APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
SECTION 10.1. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Collateral Agent
in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged
Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied,
together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, in
accordance with the Credit Agreement.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 11.1. Concerning Collateral Agent.
(a) The Collateral Agent has been appointed as collateral agent pursuant to the Credit
Agreement. The actions of the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the
Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give
notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking
action (including the release or substitution of the Pledged Collateral), in accordance with this
Agreement and the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and
-29-
attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or
misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Collateral
Agent may resign and a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the
Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor
Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this
Agreement, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the
provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
under this Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent.
(b) The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity,
accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that
neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for (i)
ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or
other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary
steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Pledged Collateral.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement,
certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all
matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by
it.
(d) If any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Collateral
Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any
type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other
deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such
collateral, the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, shall select which provision or
provisions shall control.
(e) The Collateral Agent may rely on advice of counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing
statements of the Pledgors need to be amended as a result of any of the changes described in
Section 5.13(a) of the Credit Agreement. If any Pledgor fails to provide information to
the Collateral Agent about such changes on a timely basis, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable
or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a perfected security interest in such
Pledgor’s property constituting Pledged Collateral, for which the Collateral Agent needed to have
information relating to such changes. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire about
such changes if any Pledgor does not inform the Collateral Agent of such changes, the parties
acknowledging and agreeing that it would not be feasible or practical for the Collateral
-30-
Agent to search for information on such changes if such information is not provided by
any Pledgor.
SECTION 11.2. Collateral Agent May Perform; Collateral Agent Appointed
Attorney-in-Fact. If any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this
Agreement (including such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required
insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay and discharge any taxes, assessments and special
assessments, levies, fees and governmental charges imposed upon or assessed against, and
landlords’, carriers’, mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, laborers’, materialmen’s, suppliers’ and
warehousemen’s Liens and other claims arising by operation of law against, all or any portion of
the Pledged Collateral, (iii) make repairs, (iv) discharge Liens or (v) pay or perform any
obligations of such Pledgor under any Pledged Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on
the part of any Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not
be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds
for such purpose; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall in no event be
bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such
Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest
in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any and all amounts so expended by the
Collateral Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement. Neither the provisions of this Section 11.2
nor any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section
11.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any
breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby
appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and
stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time in the
Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the
terms of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Collateral
Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (but the Collateral Agent
shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to such Pledgor or any third party for
failure to so do or take action). The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled
with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Pledgor
hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
SECTION 11.3. Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall create a
continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors,
their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of
the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other persons
(including any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall have any interest herein or any right or
benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any
Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this
Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the
benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to
the provisions of the Credit Agreement and, in the case of a Secured Party that is a party to a
Hedging
-31-
Agreement or a Treasury Services Agreements, such Hedging Agreement or Treasury Services
Agreement, as applicable. Each of the Pledgors agrees that its obligations hereunder and the
security interest created hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable,
if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization
of any Pledgor or otherwise.
SECTION 11.4. Termination; Release. (a) When all the Secured Obligations have been
paid in full and the Commitments of the Lenders to make any Loan or to issue any Letter of Credit
under the Credit Agreement shall have expired or been sooner terminated and all Letters of Credit
have been terminated or cash collateralized in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate. Upon termination of this Agreement the Pledged
Collateral shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement. Upon such release or any release of
Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement,
the Collateral Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors,
assign, transfer and deliver to Pledgor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the
Collateral Agent except as to the fact that the Collateral Agent has not encumbered the released
assets, such of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof to be released (in the case of a
release) as may be in possession of the Collateral Agent and as shall not have been sold or
otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Pledged Collateral,
proper documents and instruments (including UCC-3 termination financing statements or releases)
acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Pledged Collateral, as the case may be.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Obligations have been paid in full and the
Commitments of the Lenders to make any Loan or to issue any Letter of Credit under the Credit
Agreement shall have expired or been sooner terminated and all Letters of Credit have been
terminated or cash collateralized in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, (ii)
Secured Obligations of the type described in clause (b) of the definition of Secured Obligations
(“Remaining Secured Obligations”) remain outstanding and (iii) all or a portion of the repayment of
the Obligations is financed by the proceeds of Indebtedness of one or more Loan Parties or any
affiliate of a Loan Party (“Refinancing Indebtedness”) which Refinancing Indebtedness is secured by
property of such persons, this Agreement shall terminate as if the Remaining Secured Obligations
have been paid in full and the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 11.4 shall apply
concurrently with the incurrence of the Refinancing Indebtedness and the securing of the
Refinancing Indebtedness and the Remaining Secured Obligations on an equal and ratable basis. For
the avoidance of doubt, if the Refinancing Indebtedness is not secured, this Agreement shall not
terminate but shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 11.5. Modification in Writing. No amendment, modification, supplement,
termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor
therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement and unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent. Any amendment,
modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and
any consent to any departure by any Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof
-32-
in each case shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement or any other
document evidencing the Secured Obligations, no notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case
shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.
SECTION 11.6. Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Credit Agreement,
any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be given in the
manner and become effective as set forth in the Credit Agreement, as to any Pledgor, addressed to
it at the address of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement and as to the Collateral Agent,
addressed to it at the address set forth in the Credit Agreement, or in each case at such other
address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to
delivery with the terms of this Section 11.6.
SECTION 11.7. Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of
Jury Trial. Sections 10.09 and 10.10 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated
herein, mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof.
SECTION 11.8. Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any
other jurisdiction.
SECTION 11.9. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers,
consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.
SECTION 11.10. Business Days. In the event any time period or any date provided in
this Agreement ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be
deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and
performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on
such other day.
SECTION 11.11. No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Imposition. Such Pledgor shall not
be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the
Credit Agreement, and such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which
may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any Tax on the
Pledged Collateral or any part thereof.
SECTION 11.12. No Claims Against Collateral Agent. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall constitute any consent or request by the Collateral Agent, express or implied, for
the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property
-33-
in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, nor as giving any Pledgor any right,
power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the
furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any
claim against the Collateral Agent in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the
performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is
prior to the Lien hereof.
SECTION 11.13. No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, nor the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder,
shall relieve any Pledgor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on
such Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Pledged
Collateral or from any liability to any person under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral
or shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to perform or
observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be so performed
or observed or shall impose any liability on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for
any act or omission on the part of such Pledgor relating thereto or for any breach of any
representation or warranty on the part of such Pledgor contained in this Agreement, the Credit
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or under or in respect of the Pledged Collateral or made in
connection herewith or therewith. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the
Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any
contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Pledged Collateral by reason of this
Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of
the obligations or duties of any Pledgor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any
such contract, agreement or other document included in the Pledged Collateral hereunder. The
obligations of each Pledgor contained in this Section 11.13 shall survive the termination
hereof and the discharge of such Pledgor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 11.14. Obligations Absolute. All obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall
be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition,
liquidation or the like of any other Pledgor;
(ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any Hedging
Agreement, any Treasury Services Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any other
agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(iii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of,
all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to
any departure from the Credit Agreement, any Hedging Agreement, Treasury Services Agreement
or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
-34-
(iv) any pledge, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any
release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or
any of the Secured Obligations;
(v) any exercise, non-exercise or waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under
or in respect hereof, the Credit Agreement, any Hedging Agreement, any Treasury Services
Agreement or any other Loan Document except as specifically set forth in a waiver granted
pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.5 hereof; or
(vi) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to,
or a discharge of, any Pledgor.
[REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Pledgor and the Collateral Agent have caused this Agreement to be

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Security Agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement;” capitalized terms used but
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security
Agreement), dated as of June 8, 2007 made by NaviSite, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the
“Borrower”), the Guarantors party thereto and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, acting
through its New York agency, as collateral agent (in such capacity and together with any successors
in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”).
This Joinder Agreement supplements the Security Agreement and is delivered by the undersigned,
[ ] (the “New Pledgor”), pursuant to Section 3.5 of the
Security Agreement. The New Pledgor hereby agrees to be bound as a Guarantor and as a Pledgor
party to the Security Agreement by all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the
Security Agreement to the same extent that it would have been bound if it had been a signatory to
the Security Agreement on the date of the Security Agreement. The New Pledgor also hereby agrees
to be bound as a party by all of the terms, covenants and conditions applicable to it set forth in
Articles V, VI and VII of the Credit Agreement to the same extent that it
would have been bound if it had been a signatory to the Credit Agreement on the execution date of
the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New Pledgor hereby
grants and pledges to the Collateral Agent, as collateral security for the full, prompt and
complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, a Lien on and security interest in, all of its right, title
and interest in, to and under the
Pledged Collateral and expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Guarantor and
Pledgor thereunder. The New Pledgor hereby makes each of the representations and warranties and
agrees to each of the covenants applicable to the Pledgors contained in the Security Agreement and
Article III of the Credit Agreement.
Annexed hereto are supplements to each of the schedules to the Security Agreement and the
Credit Agreement, as applicable, with respect to the New Pledgor. Such supplements shall be deemed
to be part of the Security Agreement or the Credit Agreement, as applicable.
This Joinder Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
THIS JOINDER AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Pledgor has caused this Joinder Agreement to be executed and
delivered by its duly authorized officer as of the date first above written.

CONTROL AGREEMENT CONCERNING SECURITIES ACCOUNTS
This Control Agreement Concerning Securities Accounts (this “Control Agreement”),
dated as of [ ], by and among NaviSite, Inc., (the “Pledgor”), Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce, acting through its New York agency, as Collateral Agent (the
“Collateral Agent”) and [ ] (the “Securities Intermediary”), is
delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(c) of that certain security agreement (as amended,
amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security
Agreement”), dated as of June 8, 2007 made by the Pledgor and each of the Guarantors listed
on the signature pages thereto in favor of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, acting through its
New York agency, as collateral agent, as pledgee, assignee and secured party. This Control
Agreement is for the purpose of perfecting the security interests of the Secured Parties granted by
the Pledgor in the Designated Accounts described below. All references herein to the “UCC” shall
mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Security Agreement.
Section 1. Confirmation of Establishment and Maintenance of Designated
Accounts. The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that (i) the Securities
Intermediary has established for the Pledgor and maintains the account(s) listed in Schedule
I annexed hereto (such account(s), together with each such other securities account maintained
by the Pledgor with the Securities Intermediary collectively, the “Designated Accounts” and
each a “Designated Account”), (ii) each Designated Account will be maintained in the manner
set forth herein until termination of this Control Agreement, (iii) this Control Agreement is the
valid and legally binding obligation of the Securities Intermediary, (iv) the Securities
Intermediary is a “securities intermediary” as defined in Article 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC, (v) each
of the Designated Accounts is a “securities account” as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a) of
the UCC and (vi) all securities or other property underlying any financial assets which are
credited to any Designated Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary,
endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account
maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any financial asset
credited to any Designated Account be registered in the name of the Pledgor, payable to the order
of the Pledgor or specially endorsed to the Pledgor, except to the extent the foregoing have been
specially endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.
Section 2. “Financial Assets” Election. All parties hereto agree that each item of
Investment Property and all other property held in or credited to any Designated Account (the
“Account Property”) shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section
8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.
Section 3. Entitlement Order. If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall
receive an “entitlement order” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) issued by the
Collateral Agent and relating to any financial asset maintained in one or more of the Designated
Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further
consent by the Pledgor or any other person. The Securities Intermediary shall also comply with
instructions directing the Securities Intermediary with respect to the sale, exchange or transfer
of any Account Property held in each Designated Account originated by a Pledgor, or any
representative of, or investment manager appointed by, a Pledgor until such time as the Collateral
Agent delivers a Notice of Sole Control pursuant to Section 9(i) to the Securities
Intermediary. The Securities Intermediary shall comply with, and is fully entitled to rely upon,
any entitlement order from the Collateral Agent, even if such entitlement order is contrary to any
entitlement order that the Pledgor may give or may have given to the Securities Intermediary.
Section 4. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. The Securities Intermediary
hereby agrees that any security interest in, lien on, encumbrance, claim or (except as provided in
the next sentence) right of setoff against, any Designated Account or any Account Property it now
has or subsequently obtains shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent
in the Designated Accounts and the Account Property therein or credited thereto. The Securities
Intermediary agrees not to exercise any present or future right of recoupment or set-off against
any of the Designated Accounts or to assert against any of the Designated Accounts any present or
future security interest, banker’s lien or any other lien or claim (including claim for penalties)
that the Securities Intermediary may at any time have against or in any of the Designated Accounts
or any Account Property therein or credited thereto; provided, however, that the
Securities Intermediary may set off all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of
its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Designated
Accounts, including overdraft fees and amounts advanced to settle authorized transactions.
Section 5. Choice of Law. Both this Control Agreement and the Designated Accounts
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other
agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s
jurisdiction and the Designated Accounts (as well as the security entitlements related thereto)
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
Section 6. Conflict with Other Agreements; Amendments. As of the date hereof, there
are no other agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary and the Pledgor with
respect to any Designated Account or any security entitlements or other financial assets credited
thereto (other than standard and customary documentation with respect to the establishment and
maintenance of such Designated Accounts). The Securities Intermediary and the Pledgor will not
enter into any other agreement with respect to any Designated Account unless the Collateral Agent
shall have received prior written notice thereof. The Securities Intermediary and the Pledgor have
not and will not enter into any other agreement with respect to (i) creation or perfection of any
security interest in or (ii) control of security entitlements maintained
-2-
in any of the Designated Accounts or purporting to limit or condition the obligation of
the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders with respect to any Account Property
held in or credited to any Designated Account as set forth in Section 3 hereof without the
prior written consent of the Collateral Agent acting in its sole discretion. In the event of any
conflict with respect to control over any Designated Account between this Control Agreement (or any
portion hereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this
Control Agreement shall prevail. No amendment or modification of this Control Agreement or waiver
of any rights hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed
by all the parties hereto.
Section 7. Certain Agreements.
(i) As of the date hereof, the Securities Intermediary has furnished to the Collateral Agent
the most recent account statement issued by the Securities Intermediary with respect to each of the
Designated Accounts and the financial assets and cash balances held therein, identifying the
financial assets held therein in a manner acceptable to the Collateral Agent. Each such statement
accurately reflects the assets held in such Designated Account as of the date thereof.
(ii) The Securities Intermediary will, upon its receipt of each supplement to the Security
Agreement signed by the Pledgor and identifying one or more financial assets as “Pledged
Collateral,” enter into its records, including computer records, with respect to each Designated
Account a notation with respect to any such financial asset so that such records and reports
generated with respect thereto identify such financial asset as “Pledged.”
Section 8. Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interest of the
Collateral Agent and of the Pledgor in the Account Property held in or credited to the Designated
Accounts, the Securities Intermediary on the date hereof does not know of any claim to, security
interest in, lien on, or encumbrance against, any Designated Account or Account Property held in or
credited thereto and does not know of any claim that any person or entity other than the Collateral
Agent has been given “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC) of any Designated
Account or any such Account Property. If the Securities Intermediary becomes aware that any person
or entity is asserting any lien, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim (including any
writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process or any claim of
control) against any of the Account Property held in or credited to any Designated Account, the
Securities Intermediary shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor thereof.
Section 9. Maintenance of Designated Accounts. In addition to the obligations of the
Securities Intermediary in Section 3 hereof, the Securities Intermediary agrees to maintain
the Designated Accounts as follows:
-3-
(i) Notice of Sole Control. If at any time the Collateral Agent delivers to
the Securities Intermediary a notice instructing the Securities Intermediary to terminate
Pledgor’s access to any Designated Account (the “Notice of Sole Control”), the
Securities Intermediary agrees that, after receipt of such notice, it will take all
instructions with respect to such Designated Account solely from the Collateral Agent,
terminate all instructions and orders originated by the Pledgor with respect to the
Designated Accounts or any Account Property therein, and cease taking instructions from
Pledgor, including, without limitation, instructions for investment, distribution or
transfer of any financial asset maintained in any Designated Account. Permitting settlement
of trades pending at the time of receipt of such notice shall not constitute a violation of
the immediately preceding sentence.
(ii) Voting Rights. Until such time as the Securities Intermediary receives a
Notice of Sole Control, the Pledgor, or an investment manager on behalf of the Pledgor,
shall direct the Securities Intermediary with respect to the voting of any financial assets
credited to any Designated Account.
(iii) Statements and Confirmations. The Securities Intermediary will send
copies of all statements and other correspondence (excluding routine confirmations)
concerning any Designated Account or any financial assets credited thereto simultaneously to
each of the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent at the address set forth in Section 11
hereof. The Securities Intermediary will provide to the Collateral Agent, upon the
Collateral Agent’s request therefor from time to time and, in any event, as of the last
business day of each calendar month, a statement of the market value of each financial asset
maintained in each Designated Account. The Securities Intermediary shall not change the
name or account number of any Designated Account without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent.
(iv) Perfection in Certificated Securities. The Securities Intermediary
acknowledges that, in the event that it should come into possession of any certificate
representing any security or other Account Property held in or credited to any of the
Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall retain possession of the same on
behalf and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and such act shall cause the Securities
Intermediary to be deemed holding such certificate for the Collateral Agent, if necessary to
perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such securities or assets. The
Securities Intermediary hereby acknowledges its receipt of a copy of the Security Agreement,
which shall also serve as notice to the Securities Intermediary of a security interest in
collateral held on behalf and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.
Section 10. Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Control Agreement shall be
binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate
successors and permitted assignees.
-4-
Section 11. Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted
to be given under this Control Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to have been properly given
when delivered in person, or when sent by telecopy or other electronic means and electronic
confirmation of error free receipt is received or two (2) days after being sent by certified or

OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL
September 12, 2007
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as Issuing Bank and Administrative Agent,
and each of the Lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement referred to below
|
Re: |
|
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 12, 2007 by and
among NaviSite, Inc., certain subsidiaries of NaviSite, Inc., the Lenders, CIBC World
Markets Corp., CIT Lending Services Corporation and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to NaviSite, Inc. (the “Company”) and the subsidiaries of the Company
identified on Schedule 1 hereto (as guarantors) (the “Subsidiaries”) in connection with the
negotiation, execution and delivery of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement”) dated as of September 12, 2007 among the Company, the Subsidiaries, the
Lenders, CIBC World Markets Corp. (as sole lead arranger, documentation agent, and bookrunner), CIT
Lending Services Corporation (as syndication agent) and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, acting
through its New York agency (as issuing bank (in such capacity, “Issuing Bank”), administrative
agent for the Lenders and collateral agent for the Secured Parties and the Issuing Bank), and the
transactions described therein. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used in this
opinion shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. This
opinion is being delivered to you pursuant to the requirements of Section 4.01(d) of the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement.
For purposes of this opinion, we have examined originals or copies of the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement and the other documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Subsidiaries
in connection therewith and listed on Schedule 2 hereto, all dated as of the date of the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement except as otherwise indicated on Schedule 2 (each,
including the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a “Credit Document,” and collectively, the
“Credit Documents”), and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for the rendering of the
opinions expressed below. In our examination of the aforesaid documents, we have assumed, without
independent verification or investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the enforceability of
all Credit Documents against the Agents and the Lenders, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to the original documents of all documents
submitted to us as certified, photostatic, reproduced or conformed copies of original documents. In
expressing the opinions set forth below, we have relied, without independent investigation, upon
the factual matters contained in the representations and warranties of the Company and the
Subsidiaries in the Credit Documents and upon certificates of public officials and of the officers
of the Company and each Subsidiary.
Except for the corporate existence opinion stated in paragraph 1 below, our opinions
expressed herein are limited to New York law, the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
M-1
Delaware Uniform Commercial Code (“Delaware UCC”) and the federal law of the United States. Without
limiting the foregoing, no opinion is expressed with respect to the laws of any state other than
Delaware or New York or any governmental or quasi-governmental agency or subdivision of such other
state, and we assume without investigation that no provisions of any other such state’s law will
affect in any manner any of our opinions set forth below. In addition, with respect to the opinions
regarding validity, attachment, creation or perfection of any security interest, we do not express
any opinion on the effect of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the New York Uniform
Commercial Code (“New York UCC”) and the Delaware UCC. This opinion is also rendered only with
respect to the aforementioned laws as in effect on the date hereof.
References to “our knowledge” or to matters “known to us” or equivalent words means the actual
knowledge of the lawyers of this firm who have had active involvement in our representation of the
Company and the Subsidiaries, after such inquiry as they deemed appropriate.
We express no opinion with respect to the effect or enforceability of any provision of any
Credit Document that (i) increases the rate of interest upon any default or imposes a late fee to
the extent either is determined to be a penalty, (ii) provides for collection of interest on
overdue interest, (iii) purports to establish evidentiary standards, (iv) waives any statutory,
constitutional or other legal right, (v) provides for recourse or exercise of any remedial rights
in the absence of notice and a hearing, (vi) relates to the appointment of a receiver, (vii)
provides for submission to exclusive jurisdiction or the exclusive choice of venue, (viii) purports
to grant a power of attorney which is against public policy, (ix) relates to the election or
cumulation of remedies to the extent such remedies are not enforced in a commercially reasonable
manner, (x) purports to grant rights of set-off or similar rights, (xi) gives the right of specific
performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief, (xii) authorizes a secured party to
take discretionary independent action for the account of or as an agent or attorney-in-fact for a
debtor, (xiii) requires that provisions thereof be waived only in writing, to the extent that an
oral agreement or an implied agreement by trade practices or course of conduct has been created
modifying any provisions of such documents or (xiv) relates to the effect of any failure to
exercise any right or remedy provided to you in the Credit Documents.
Without limiting the generality of any other exception, limitation or qualification, we have
not considered and do not express an opinion with respect to any federal or state securities,
environmental, tax, bankruptcy or antitrust laws and regulations.
Our opinions below are subject to, and may be limited or otherwise affected by, bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, readjustment of debt, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance and transfer acts, equitable subordination, equity of redemption, recharacterization or
other similar legal principles now or hereafter in effect governing or affecting the rights and
remedies of debtors and creditors generally, general
M-2
principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, including without limitation, principles that
(a) include a requirement that a creditor act with reasonableness and in good faith and deal fairly
with its debtors, (b) limit a creditor’s right to accelerate maturity of a debt upon the occurrence of a default deemed immaterial, or (c) might
render certain waivers unenforceable, or federal and state securities laws and the public policies
underlying such laws.
On the basis of the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions and qualifications
set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company and each Subsidiary is validly existing and in good standing under the
applicable laws of each entity’s respective jurisdiction of organization.
2. The Company and each Subsidiary has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver
and perform all of its obligations under each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party. The
execution and delivery of each of the Credit Documents and the consummation by the Company and each
Subsidiary of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite
corporate action on the part of the Company and each Subsidiary. Each of the Credit Documents has
been duly executed and delivered by the Company and each Subsidiary party thereto.
3. Each of the Credit Documents constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company
and each Subsidiary party thereto, enforceable against the Company and each such Subsidiary in
accordance with its terms.
4. Except as is specifically indicated on Schedule 3 hereto, the execution and
delivery by the Company and each Subsidiary of each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party
and the performance by the Company and each Subsidiary of its obligations under each of the Credit
Documents to which it is a party, each in accordance with its terms, do not (a) conflict with the
Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws of the Company or such Subsidiary, each as amended to
date, (b) constitute a violation of, or a default under, any contract or agreement listed on
Schedule 3 hereto or (c) cause the creation of any security interest or lien upon any of
the property of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to any contract or agreement listed on
Schedule 3 hereto.
5. Neither the execution, delivery nor performance by the Company and each Subsidiary of the
Credit Documents to which the Company and each Subsidiary is a party will violate any provision of
any law or regulation covered by this opinion applicable to the Company or such Subsidiary.
6. With the exception of filings or other actions required for the perfection of security
M-3
interests granted pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated as of June 8, 2007 by and among the
Company, the Subsidiaries and the Collateral Agent and supplemented by the Joinder Agreements
(“Security Agreement”) or in connection with the exercise of remedies or the disposition of
Collateral thereunder, no consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing,
recording or registration with, any governmental authority pursuant to any applicable law or
regulation, which has not been obtained or taken and is not in full force and effect, is required
to authorize, or is required in connection with, the execution or delivery of any of the Credit
Documents by the Company or any Subsidiary.
7. None of the execution, delivery or performance by the Company or any Subsidiary of its
obligations under the Credit Documents to which it is a party nor compliance by the Company or any
Subsidiary with the terms thereof will violate any applicable order, judgment, or decree of any
governmental authority to which the Company or any Subsidiary is subject and of which we are aware.
8. The Security Agreement will, upon execution and delivery thereof and the making of the
Additional Term Loans (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) to be made under
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on the date hereof, create a valid security interest in
favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral referred to
therein to the extent that such Collateral constitutes property in which a security interest may be
created under Article 9 of the New York UCC to secure the Obligations.
9. The copies of the UCC-1 financing statements attached hereto as Schedule 4
(collectively, and together with all schedules and exhibits to such financing statements “the
“Financing Statements”) are in appropriate form under the applicable UCC for filing with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, except that to the extent that they are intended to be
filed with the Secretary of the State of California, we assume, without investigation, that an
appropriate form for filing in California is one which would be appropriate for filing in New York,
and that they are therefore in appropriate form for filing with the Secretary of State of the State
of California. The security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties in the Collateral described in the Security Agreement will be perfected to the
extent that (i) the filing of a financing statement in the State of Delaware or the State of
California under the provisions of the applicable UCC is effective to perfect a security interest
in such Collateral and (ii) the Financing Statements are properly filed with the Secretary of State
of the proper state.
10. After giving effect to the execution and delivery of the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement and the making of the Additional Term Loans, (i) the security interest in favor of the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in each Loan Party’s Collateral described
in the Security Agreement continues to be a valid and perfected security interest to the same
extent as immediately prior to giving effect to the execution and delivery of the Amended and
M-4
Restated Credit Agreement, as to which matters, as of the Effective Date, we refer you to our
opinion dated Original Closing Date (the “Closing Opinion”) (subject to the assumptions,
qualifications, exclusions and limitations stated therein) and (ii) the security interest in favor
of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in each Loan Party’s Collateral
described in the Security Agreement is a valid security interest which is perfected by the UCC-1
financing statements referenced in the Closing Opinion (subject to the assumptions, qualifications,
exclusions and limitations stated therein) and no additional UCC-1 financing statements are
required to be filed on the date hereof pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the
date hereof in the State of Delaware or the State of California to perfect such security interest.
11. Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent in the State of New York of the certificates
representing the Securities Collateral that are required to be delivered to the Collateral
Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement (the “Pledged Securities”) in registered form, indorsed in
blank by an effective indorsement or accompanied by undated stock powers with respect thereto duly
indorsed in blank by an effective indorsement, the Collateral Agent will have control (within the
meaning of the New York UCC) of the Pledged Securities for the benefit of the Secured Parties under
the New York UCC. Assuming neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Secured Parties has notice
of any adverse claim (within the meaning of the New York UCC) to the Pledged Securities, the
Collateral Agent will acquire the security interest in the Pledged Securities for the benefit of
the Secured Parties free of any adverse claim.
12. Assuming the proceeds of the Additional Term Loans are used in accordance with the terms
of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, neither the making of the Additional term Loans nor
the pledge of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement violates Regulation T,
Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
13. Upon due filing of the Trademark Security Agreement and the Copyright Security Agreement
in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office
respectively, the Liens created by the Security Agreement shall constitute fully perfected Liens
on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in the
Intellectual Property Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement).
14. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is and, solely after giving effect to the
Additional Term Loans made pursuant to the Credit Documents, will any of them be, an “investment
company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
M-5
Our opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:
A. We express no opinion as to the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to
collect any payment to the extent that such payment constitutes a penalty, forfeiture or late
charge.
B. We have assumed that (i) any consideration contemplated to be given under the
Security Agreement was given at the time of the delivery and execution of such document, (ii)
the Collateral (other than property which becomes Collateral after the date hereof) exists and
the applicable Loan Party has “rights” in such Collateral existing on the date hereof and will
have “rights” in property which becomes Collateral after the date hereof, in each case as
contemplated by the New York UCC, (iii) each of the Loan Parties has received “value” (as
defined in the New York UCC), (iv) the descriptions of Collateral in the Security Agreement
and the Financing Statements reasonably describe the property intended to be described as
Collateral, (v) all information regarding the secured party on the Financing Statements is
accurate and complete in all respects, and (vi) the representations in the Credit Documents,
including, without limitation, the information on any of the exhibits and schedules thereto,
regarding the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Loan Parties are accurate and complete as
of the date of the filing of the Financing Statements. We have made no examination of, and no
opinion is given herein as to, any parties’ respective title to, or other ownership rights in,
or the existence of any liens, charges or encumbrances on, or adverse
claims against, the Collateral, other than the security interests in favor of the
Administrative Agent as contemplated by the Security Agreement.
C. Our opinions are subject to the provisions of Section 9-203 of the New York UCC
relating to the time of attachment. We have assumed that no agreement exists that postpones
attachment or conveyance of, or modifies, releases or terminates, the interests of the
Administrative Agent in the Collateral or that would expand, modify or otherwise affect the
respective rights and obligations of the parties to the Security Agreement.
D. Any security interest in any Collateral or proceeds of any Collateral is limited to
the extent set forth in Section 9-315 of the New York UCC.
E. We express no opinion as to the priority of any security interest over any other or
competing interest in the Collateral.
F. With respect to property as to which the security interests purported to be granted
pursuant to the Security Agreement attach after the date thereof or hereof, we call to your
attention that Section 552 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (to the extent, if any, that
such section is relevant to any Loan Party) limits the extent to which assets
M-6
acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code may be subject
to a security interest arising from a security interest entered into by the debtor before the
commencement of such case.
G. We express no opinion as to the applicability of Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Bankruptcy Code or of any provisions of any state fraudulent conveyance statute or law to the
transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents.
H. We express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any
provision of any Credit Document that purports to waive, release or vary any right of, or any
duties owing to, a party to the extent limited by Sections 1-102(3), 9-601, 9-602 or 9-603 of
the New York UCC or other provisions of applicable law.
I. We call to your attention that Section 9-108(c) of the New York UCC provides that
supergeneric descriptions are insufficient to create a valid security interest and that
Section 9-108(e)(1) of the New York UCC provides that a description of commercial tort claims
by type only is insufficient to create a valid security interest.
J. We express no opinion with respect to any Collateral which is subject to a
certificate of title or a document of title.
K. We express no opinion with respect to any Collateral which constitutes goods which
are an accession to, or commingled or processed with other goods to the extent that the
security interest of the Administrative Agent is limited by Section 9-335 or 9-336 of the New
York UCC.
L. In the case of any chattel paper, account or general intangible which is itself
secured by other property, we express no opinion with respect to any Loan Party’s rights in
and to such underlying collateral.
M. We call to your attention that (i) the perfection of the security interest in any
Collateral described in any Financing Statement may be terminated as to any Collateral
acquired subsequent to a change in the name, nature, corporate structure or identity of any
Loan Party and may otherwise be affected by the matters set forth in Sections 9-316, 9-507 and
9-508 of the Delaware UCC and (ii) the Delaware UCC requires the filing of continuation
statements within the period six months prior to the expiration of five years from the date of
the original filing of the Financing Statements.
N. We express no opinion with respect to any Collateral consisting of claims against any
government or governmental agency (including, without limitation, the United States of America
or any state thereof or any agency or department of the United States of America or any state
thereof). We call to your attention that the perfection and the effect of perfection and
non-perfection of the security interests in favor of the Administrative Agent
M-7
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Collateral may be governed by laws other
than the New York UCC.
O. The enforceability by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of the security
interest in the Collateral consisting of rights under contracts may be subject to the terms of
those contracts or other contracts between a Loan Party and other parties thereto and claims
or defenses of such other parties against a Loan Party.
The opinions expressed herein are matters of professional judgment, are not a guarantee
of result and are effective only as of the date hereof. We do not undertake to advise you of any
matter within the scope of this letter that comes to our attention after the date of this letter
and disclaim any responsibility to advise you of any future changes in law or fact that may affect
the opinions set forth herein. We express no opinion other than those opinions expressly set forth
herein. No expansion of the opinions expressed herein may or should be made by implication or
otherwise. This opinion is being furnished to you in connection with the transaction described
above and may not be relied on for any other purpose or by anyone else without our prior written
consent; provided, however, a copy of this opinion may be furnished to any successor Agent, any
assignee of any Lender and any prospective Lenders, and such persons may rely on this letter and
the opinions expressed herein as of the date hereof as if it were addressed and had been delivered
to them on the date hereof.

any other entity listed on the signature page hereto (each, in such capacity, a “Payor”), hereby
promises to pay on demand to the order of such other entity listed below (each, in such capacity, a
“Payee”), in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, at such
location in the United States of America as a Payee shall from time to time designate, the unpaid
principal amount of all loans and advances (including trade payables) made by such Payee to such

and advances in like money at said location from the date of such loans and advances until paid at
such rate per annum as shall be agreed upon from time to time by such Payor and such Payee.
This note (“Note”) is an Intercompany Note referred to in the Credit Agreement dated as of
June 8, 2007 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Lenders, CIBC WORLD
MARKETS CORP, as sole lead arranger, documentation agent and bookrunner, CIT LENDING SERVICES
CORPORATION, as syndication agent and CANADIAN IMPERIAL BANK OF COMMERCE, acting through its New

the Security Agreement, to the extent required pursuant to the terms thereof. Each Payee hereby
acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may exercise all rights provided in the
Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement with respect to this Note.
Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the indebtedness evidenced by this Note
owed by any Payor that is Borrower or a Guarantor to any Payee other than Borrower shall be
subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth,
to all Obligations of such Payor under the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, where
applicable, under such Payor’s guarantee of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement (such
Obligations and other indebtedness and obligations in connection with any renewal, refunding,
restructuring or refinancing thereof, including interest thereon accruing after the commencement of
any proceedings referred to in clause (i) below, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim
in such proceeding, being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Senior Indebtedness”):
(i) In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership,
liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative
to any Payor or to its creditors, as such, or to its property, and in the event of any
proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of such Payor,
whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then (x) the holders of Senior
Indebtedness shall be paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior
Indebtedness before any Payee is entitled to receive (whether directly or indirectly), or
make any demands for, any payment on account of this Note and (y) until the holders of
Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts
O-1
constituting Senior Indebtedness, any payment or distribution to which such Payee would
otherwise be entitled (other than debt securities of such Payor that are subordinated, to at
least the same extent as this Note, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness then
outstanding (such securities being hereinafter referred to as “Restructured Debt
Securities”)) shall be made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness;
(ii) if any default occurs and is continuing with respect to any Senior Indebtedness
(including any Default under the Credit Agreement), then no payment or distribution of any
kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of the Payor or any other Person on its
behalf with respect to this Note; and
(iii) if any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or
other property (other than Restructured Debt Securities), in respect of this Note shall
(despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Payee in violation of clause (i)
or (ii) before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash, such payment or
distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered
to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their representatives), ratably according to the
respective aggregate amounts remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all
Senior Indebtedness in full in cash.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, no present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness
shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce the subordination of this Note by any act or failure to
act on the part of any Payor or by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder or any
trustee or agent for such holder. Each Payee and each Payor hereby agree that the subordination of
this Note is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent[, the Issuing Bank] and the Lenders and
the Administrative Agent[, the Issuing Bank] and the Lenders are obligees under this Note to the
same extent as if their names were written herein as such and the Administrative Agent may, on
behalf of itself[, the Issuing Bank] and the Lenders, proceed to enforce the subordination
provisions herein.
The indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Payor that is not Borrower or a Guarantor
shall not be subordinated to, and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with, any other
obligation of such Payor.
Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above is intended to or will
impair, as between each Payor and each Payee, the obligations of such Payor, which are absolute and
unconditional, to pay to such Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and when due and
payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights of such
Payee and other creditors of such Payor other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
Each Payee is hereby authorized to record all loans and advances made by it to any Payor (all
of which shall be evidenced by this Note), and all repayments or prepayments thereof, in its books
and records, such books and records constituting prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the
information contained therein.
Each Payor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with
this Note. All payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of
any kind.
O-2
THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF.
