commitment or any other undertaking or expression of any willingness to engage in any further
discussion with the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person with respect to any
waiver, amendment, modification or any other change to the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents
or any rights or remedies arising in favor of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, or any of
them, under or with respect to any such documents or (d) to be a waiver of, or consent to or a
modification or amendment of, any other term or condition of any other agreement by and among the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender, on the other hand. References in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement” (and indirect
references such as “hereunder”, “hereby”, “herein”, “hereof” or other words of like import) and in

(d) this Agreement and each other document executed in connection herewith has been duly
executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of the Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries, and each such document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar state or federal debtor
relief laws from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights in
general and the availability of equitable remedies.
7. Acknowledgement and Reaffirmation. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (a)
agrees that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not limit or diminish the
obligations of such Person under, or release such Person from any obligations under, the Credit
Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, the Collateral Agreement and each other Security
Document to which it is a party, (b) confirms and reaffirms its obligations under the Credit
Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, the Collateral Agreement and each other Security

predecessors, successors and assigns, subsidiary corporations, parent corporations, and related
corporate divisions (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all actions and
causes of action, judgments, executions, suits, debts, claims, demands, liabilities, obligations,
damages and expenses of any and every character, known or unknown, direct and/or indirect, at law
or in equity, of whatsoever kind or nature, for or because of any matter or things done, omitted or
suffered to be done by any of the Released Parties prior to and including the effective date of
this Agreement, and in any way directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way connected to the
Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Released Matters”). Each of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries acknowledges that the agreements in this paragraph are intended to be
in full satisfaction of all or any alleged injuries or damages arising in connection with the
Released Matters.
(b) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries hereby waives the provisions of any statute or
doctrine to the effect that a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not
know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him
must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
(c) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries acknowledges and understands the rights and
benefits conferred by such a statute or doctrine and the risks associated with waiver thereof, and
after receiving advice of counsel, hereby consciously and voluntarily waives, relinquishes and
releases any and all rights and benefits available thereunder, insofar as they apply, or may be
construed to apply, to each release set forth herein or contemplated hereby. In so doing, each of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries expressly acknowledges and understands that it may hereafter
discover facts in addition to or different from those that it now believes to be true with respect
to the subject matter of the disputes, claims and other matters released herein, but expressly
agrees that it has taken these facts and possibilities into account in electing to make and to
enter into this release, and that the releases given herein shall be and remain in effect as full
and complete releases notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or
different facts or possibilities.
(d) This release may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and/or as a cross-complaint or
counterclaim against any action, suit, or other proceeding that may be instituted, prosecuted or
attempted in breach of this release. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries acknowledges that
the release contained herein constitutes a material inducement to Administrative Agent and each
Lender to enter into this Agreement and that Administrative Agent and those Lenders would not have
done so but for the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s expectation that such release is valid
and enforceable in all events.

itself and its successors, assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Released Party that
it will not xxx (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Released Party
on the basis of any claim released, remised and discharged by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
pursuant to Section 8 above. If any of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective successors, assigns or other legal representations violates the foregoing covenant, each
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, for itself and its successors, assigns and legal
representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Released Party may sustain
as a result of such violation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by any Released
Party as a result of such violation.
10. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable
costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement and the other instruments
and documents
17

out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto and with
respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities hereunder and
