to request or continue any Revolving Borrowing on or after the end of the Availability Period.
SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing of Revolving Loans at
any time following the Effective Date, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before
the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable
and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a
written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the
Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing, which shall be in an amount at
least equal to $500,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000 thereafter;
(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; and
17
(iii) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be
disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04.
Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such
Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04. Funding of Borrowings. On the Effective Date, and, with respect to the
Revolving Loans, on each date thereafter a Borrowing of a Revolving Loan is to be made in
accordance with this Agreement, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder,
ratably in accordance with its Commitment, on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Borrower most
recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender in
an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that Term Loans shall be
made as provided in Sections 2.01(b) and (c).
SECTION 2.05. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously
terminated, (i) the Term Loan Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the

unconditionally promises to pay (i) to each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of
each Revolving Loan maintained by such Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) to each Tranche
A Term Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Tranche A Term Loan maintained by such
Lender on the Tranche A Term Loan Maturity Date and (iii) to each Tranche B Term Lender, the then
unpaid principal amount of each Tranche B Term Loan maintained by such Lender on the Tranche B Term
Loan Maturity Date.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such
Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time
to time hereunder.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount
of each Loan made hereunder and the Class thereof, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due
and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the
amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and
each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or
(c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect
the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note in
substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 with respect to such Lender’s Revolving Loans and in
substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 with respect to such Lender’s Term Loans. In such event, the
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) and in
a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory
note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section
9.04) be represented by one or more
18
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 2.07. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any
time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.07. The Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder not later
than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each
such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of
each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice
relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.
Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid
Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest to the extent required by
Section 2.09 and the Exit Fee, if applicable.
(b) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Participation Proceeds are received by or
on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall, immediately after such
Net Participation Proceeds are received, prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche A
Term Loan in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Participation Proceeds.

quarter, the Borrower shall, on the next Interest Payment Date, prepay the outstanding principal
balance of the Tranche B Term Loan in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Excess Cash Flow.
(d) If at any time the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all of the Revolving Credit
Exposures exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitment, the Borrower shall immediately repay
Revolving Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the aggregate principal
amount of all Revolving Credit Exposures to be less than or equal to the Commitment.
SECTION 2.08. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees, on the Effective Date to pay to the
Administrative Agent a closing fee, which shall equal the product of (x) 2.00% and (y) the
aggregate outstanding Commitments on such date.

Administrative Agent, the Administration Fee then accrued and unpaid.
(c) On each Interest Payment Date, the Borrower will pay, to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of each Lender having a Commitment to make Revolving Loans, the Unused Fee then accrued and
unpaid.
(d) On each of the Tranche A Term Loan Maturity Date and the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity
Date, if not paid earlier in accordance herewith, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of each Lender then maintaining a Term Loan an amount equal to the Exit Fee
applicable to the Tranche A Term Loans or the Tranche B Term Loans, as applicable.
(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds,
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lender or at such Lender’s
direction. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
(f) On each Interest Payment Date occurring more than 60 days after the Closing Date, if the
covenant set forth in Section 5.01(j) shall not have been satisfied on or prior to such
Interest Payment
19
Date, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender, a fee
equal to $20,000.
SECTION 2.09. Interest. (a) The Loans shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate; of
which (i) an amount equal to not less than 10% per annum shall be payable in cash on each Interest
Payment Date and (ii) the remaining accrued amount may be paid in cash or accrued and added to the
principal amount of the applicable Loan and paid as and when principal is due hereunder.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or
other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity,
upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before
judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the Applicable Rate (payable in cash).
(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments;
provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall
be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a
prepayment of a Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on
the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or
prepayment.
(d) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and in each
case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding
the last day).
SECTION 2.10. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or
(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of
credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or
capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C)
Other Connection Taxes on gross or net income, profits, or revenue (including value-added or
similar Taxes));
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other
Recipient of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such
Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other
Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to
such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of
such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such
Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved
but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of
such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the
Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
20
(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender
notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of
such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if
the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.
SECTION 2.11. Taxes. (a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by
the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such
withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion
exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may
so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount
payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including
such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable
Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient for
any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Loan
Document (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.11(d)) and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity
under this Section 2.11(d) shall be paid within ten (10) days after the Recipient delivers
to the Borrower a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by
such Recipient and describing the basis of the indemnity claim. Such certificate shall be
conclusive of the amount so payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of
such certificate to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent
that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes
and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are
paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (as applicable) in connection with any
Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
The indemnity under this
21
Section 2.11(e) shall be paid within ten (10) days after the Administrative Agent delivers to
the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the
Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent
manifest error.
(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or
reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In
addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting
requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the
completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth
in Section 2.11(f)(ii) (A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the
Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any
material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial
position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section
2.11(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or
becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly
(and in any event within ten (10) days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy
and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a U.S.
Person, any Lender with respect to the Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably
requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which
such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the
following is applicable:
(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that
such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;
(B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of
interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of
such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan
Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.
Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article
of such tax treaty;
(C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under any Loan Document
constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a
trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;
(D) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2)
a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “U.S. Tax
Certificate”) to the effect
22
that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described
in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the
United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;
(E) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of
payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating
Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms
prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and
(F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such
beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner
were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a
partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio
interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax
Certificate on behalf of such partners; or
(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or
a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary
documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.
(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S.
Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the
applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at
the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the
Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed
by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply
with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with
such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct
and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.11(f)(iii),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion
exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.11 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to
this Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such
indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such
indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party
pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 2.11(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to
any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) if such payment would place such
indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified
party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such
refund had never been paid. This Section 2.11(g) shall not be construed to require any
indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes
which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
23
SECTION 2.12. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of
principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.10 or 2.11, or
otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in
the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. If any payment hereunder
shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon
shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in
Dollars.
(b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such
Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued
interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such
greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other
Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Revolving Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery,
without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The
Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of
such participation.
SECTION 2.13. Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.10, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, 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 2.10 or 2.11, as the
case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.
24
SECTION 2.14. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then for so long as such Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, the Available Revolving Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender
shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action
hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to
Section 9.02); provided, that this Section 2.14 shall not apply to the vote
of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the
consent of each Lender affected thereby.
SECTION 2.15. Grant of Security Interest; Collateral.
(a) To secure the payment and performance of all Obligations owing to the Administrative
Agent, the Revolving Lenders, the Tranche A Term Lenders and the Tranche B Term Lenders, ratably,
the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and each Lender
and Indemnitee, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon, and pledges to the Administrative
Agent, all of its rights, title and interests in and to, all of the Borrower’s interest in and to
all of its now owned or hereafter acquired property and assets, including all accounts, general
intangibles, goods, documents, securities, moneys, investment property, contract rights, chattel
paper, instruments, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, adjustments of deposits, letters of
credit, letter of credit rights, advices of credit, commercial tort claims, oil, gas and minerals
and other property and interests of the Borrower (whether real or personal and whether tangible or
intangible now existing or hereafter acquired) and any and all additions and accessions thereto,
and any and all replacements, products and proceeds (including insurance proceeds) thereof (the
“Collateral”).
(b) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable
Lenders is authorized to file or record financing statements with respect to the Collateral in such
form and in such offices as Lenders reasonably determine appropriate to further evidence the
perfection of the security interests of Lenders under this Agreement and to use the collateral
description “all assets of the Debtor” in any such financing statements. The parties intend this
Agreement to be a “security agreement” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.
(c) Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable
Lenders of any commercial tort claims in which it has an interest arising after the date of this
Agreement and shall provide all necessary information concerning each such Commercial Tort Claim,
or upon any and all commercial tort claims upon request by the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the applicable Lenders, and make all necessary filings with respect thereto to perfect Lenders’
security interest therein.

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in

continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders
shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or
different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and
41
thereupon the Commitments shall terminate
immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in
part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable
may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so
declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other
Obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall become due
and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the Borrower
described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically
terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon
and all fees and other Obligations accrued hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall
automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the
Required Lenders shall, protect and enforce its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and
foreclose or otherwise realize upon its security for the performance of the obligations arising
under the Loan Documents, or exercise any other rights and remedies available to it at law, in
equity or by statute.
The Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, shall have all of the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and all
other rights and remedies accorded to a secured party at equity or law. The Borrower, for itself
and for all who may claim through or under them, hereby expressly waives and releases all right to
have the Collateral, or any part of the Collateral, marshaled on any foreclosure, sale or other
enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies.
In addition to the acceleration provisions set forth above, upon the occurrence and continuation of
an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights,
options and remedies provided for in the Loan Documents, under the UCC, the Bankruptcy Code or at
law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to (i) apply any property of Borrower
held by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to reduce the Obligations, (ii) foreclose the Liens
created hereunder, (iii) realize upon, take possession of and/or sell any Collateral or securities
pledged with or without judicial process, (iv) exercise all rights and powers with respect to the
Collateral as Borrower might exercise, (v) collect and send notices regarding the Collateral, with
or without judicial process, (vi) by its own means or with judicial assistance, enter any premises

action, (vii) at Borrower’s expense, require that all or any part of the Collateral be assembled
and made available to the Administrative Agent at any place designated by the Administrative Agent,
(viii) relinquish or abandon any Collateral or securities pledged or any Lien thereon.
Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, the Administrative Agent, in its sole
discretion, shall have the right, at any time that Borrower fails to do so, and from time to time,
without prior notice, to: (i) obtain insurance covering any of the Collateral to the extent
required hereunder; (ii) pay for the performance of any of Obligations; (iii) discharge taxes or
Liens on any of the Collateral that are in violation of any Loan Document unless Borrower is in
good faith with due diligence by appropriate proceedings contesting those items; and (iv) pay for
the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral. Such expenses and advances shall be added to
the Obligations until reimbursed to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as applicable, and
shall be secured by the Collateral, and such payments by the Administrative Agent shall not be
construed as a waiver by the Lenders of any Event of Default or any other rights or remedies of
Lenders.
Borrower hereby grants to Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other
42
compensation to Borrower) to use, assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned
or hereafter acquired by Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, including in such license
reasonable access as to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and
to all computer programs and used for the compilation or printout thereof, in each case in
connection with the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ remedies hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents.
The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably made, constituted and appointed the true and lawful
attorney for Borrower with full power of substitution to do the following from and after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) endorse the name of any such
Person upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, and other instruments for the payment of
money that are payable to such Person and constitute collections on its accounts; (ii) execute in
the name of such Person any financing statements, schedules, assignments, instruments, documents,
and statements that it is obligated to give the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under any of
the Loan Documents; and (iii) do such other and further acts and deeds in the name of such Person
that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may deem necessary or desirable to enforce any account
or other Collateral or to perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest or lien in any
Collateral or after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, enforce an account
or other Collateral. In addition, if any such Person breaches its obligation hereunder to direct
payments of accounts or the proceeds of any other Collateral to the appropriate Borrower’s account,
the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, as the irrevocably appointed true and lawful
attorney for such Person pursuant to this paragraph, may, by the signature or other act of any of
the Administrative Agent’s officers or authorized signatories direct any private payor to pay
proceeds of accounts or any other Collateral to the appropriate Borrower’s account.
In addition to the acceleration provisions set forth above, upon the occurrence and continuation of
an Event of Default, Borrower shall take any action that the Administrative Agent may request in
order to enable the Administrative Agent to obtain and enjoy the full rights and benefits granted
to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, at the request of the
Administrative Agent and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Borrower shall execute all documents
and take all other actions requested by the Administrative Agent to enable it, its designee, any
receiver, trustee or similar official or any purchaser of all or any part of the Collateral to
obtain from any Person any required authority necessary to operate the business of Borrower.
ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the
other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by
the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
43
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the
Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained
by the bank or other entity serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or
in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to
the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any
certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document,
(iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document,
other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative
Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any
such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication
of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the
Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation
with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the
retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be an
entity with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such entity. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
44
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to
its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section
9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in 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.
The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or
omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent)
authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right
on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after
the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this
Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a
Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the
Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the
Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of
any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any
Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the
written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of
payment of the principal amount of any Loan (other than any reduction of the amount of, or any
extension of the payment date for, the mandatory prepayments required under Section
2.07(b), in each case which shall only require the approval of the Required Lenders), or any
interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any
such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the
written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.12(b) or
(d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby,
without the written consent of each Lender, or (v) change any of the provisions of this Section
or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;
provided further that no
46
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be
amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower (x) to add one or more credit facilities to this Agreement
and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued
interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans, the Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees
in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities
in any determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent may, with the
consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency.
SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent,
in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the
internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the
preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); including, without limitation, the fees and
expenses charged by the rating agencies, (ii) if the Administrative Agent elects to have the credit
facilities provided for herein rated, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates in connection with obtaining and maintaining such rating, including the
fees and charges of the rating agencies, and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel
for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its
rights in connection with this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including its rights under
this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.
(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related
Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel
for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions
contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or
alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, 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 the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful
47
misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect
to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined
as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such
unpaid amount (it being understood that the Borrower’s failure to pay any such amount shall not
relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof); 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 in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of
information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information
transmission systems (including the Internet), or (ii) 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 or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds
thereof.
(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than fifteen (15) days after
written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void).
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 (c) of this Section) and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at
the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall
be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice
to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof);
provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an
assignment to a Lender, an Approved Fund, any other Affiliate of a Lender or, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee.
(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to this Section, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall,
to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10,
2.11 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a
48
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this
Section.
(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time
(the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable
error, and the 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 the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)
of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record
the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning
Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall
have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be
effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in
this paragraph.
(f) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent 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. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting
solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the
name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any
portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations
under any Loan Document) other than the Borrower except to the extent that such disclosure is
necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and such Lender shall treat each person
whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all
purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such
pledge or assignment of a
49
security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute
any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by the Borrower 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, regardless of any investigation made by any such
other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent 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
or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not
expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 9.03 and
Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or
termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
any provision hereof or thereof.
SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Agreement, 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
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement
by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document 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 thereof; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time
held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or
the account of the Borrower against any of and all of the Obligations held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and
although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may
have.
SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
50
(b) The Borrower 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 or, to the extent
permitted by 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 or any
Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document
will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law.
SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT
OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL
WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used
herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect
the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by
any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with
the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan
51
Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement or (ii)any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the
Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this
Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or
its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in
the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, 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 9.13. Intentionally Omitted.
SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the
USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby
notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and
address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower
in accordance with the Act.
SECTION 9.15. 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 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 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 9.16. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects
of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or
other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are
arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and
the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting,
regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is
capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the
transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders is
and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the
relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary
for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender has any obligation
to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated
52
hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents;
and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of
transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and
no Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it
may have against each of the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or
fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
