SECTION 2. LOANS

2.1 Loans.

(a) Commitment. During the Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make Loans to the Borrowers in an aggregate amount up to but not
exceeding such Lender’s Commitment. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) may be repaid and
reborrowed during the Commitment Period. Each Lender’s Commitment shall expire on the Final Maturity Date
and all Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Loans and the Commitments shall be
paid in full no later than such date.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) The aggregate principal amount of Loans which may be drawn during any
Budget Period shall not exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans projected to be drawn
during such Budget Period as set forth in the Budget (after giving effect to the Permitted Deviation
therefrom); provided, that the limitations of this clause (i) shall at no time prevent the Borrowers from
drawing any amount that would, after giving effect to such draw, not result in there being more than $5
million of Loans outstanding and the payment of principal, interest and fees with respect to any portion of
such $5 million so drawn shall not violate the limitations with respect to Budget payments set forth in this
Agreement.

(ii) During the Interim Period, the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding
at any time shall not exceed $5,000,000.

(iii) Within the foregoing limits, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow
Loans, on or after the Interim Facility Effective Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date, subject to the
terms, provisions and limitations set forth herein.

(c) Borrowing Mechanics for Loans.

(i) Loans shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral
multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount.

34

(ii) Whenever a Borrower desires that Lenders make Loans, the Administrative
Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a fully executed Funding Notice no later than 10:00 a.m.
(New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Credit Date in the case of a
LIBOR Rate Loan, and, at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Credit Date in the case of a
Loan that is a Base Rate Loan and such Funding Notice shall include a certification by an Authorized
Officer of the Administrative Borrower that the aggregate principal amount of Loans drawn during the
current Budget Period (after giving effect to the proposed borrowing) shall not exceed the maximum
aggregate principal amount of Loans projected to be drawn during such Budget Period as set forth in the
Budget (subject to the Permitted Deviation therefrom and except as otherwise provided in Section
2.1(b)(i)). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Funding Notice for a Loan shall be irrevocable when
given, and the Borrowers shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith. Administrative
Agent and Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of written, telecopied or telephonic notice
believed by Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Administrative Borrower (or from any
Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from the Administrative Borrower to
Administrative Agent). Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any
Authorized Officer’s authority to request a Loan on behalf of any Borrower until Administrative Agent
receives written notice to the contrary. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no duty to verify the
authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Funding Notice.

(iii) Notice of receipt of each Funding Notice in respect of Loans, together with the
amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, if any, together with the applicable interest rate, shall be
provided by Administrative Agent to each applicable Lender by telefacsimile with reasonable promptness,
but (provided Administrative Agent shall have received such notice by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time))
not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same day as Administrative Agent’s receipt of such
Notice from the Borrower.

(iv) Each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Credit Date by wire transfer of
same day funds in Dollars, to Administrative Agent’s Account. Except as provided herein, upon
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, Administrative Agent shall make the
proceeds of such Loans available to the applicable Borrower on the applicable Credit Date by causing an
amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Administrative
Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of the applicable Borrower set forth on Schedule 2.2
hereto or such other account as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by the
Administrative Borrower.

2.2 [Reserved].

2.3 [Reserved].

35

2.4 Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders
simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall
be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Loan Commitment of any Lender be
increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a
Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

(b) Availability of Funds. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any
Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative
Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, Administrative Agent may assume that
such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and Administrative
Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding
amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent
by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from
such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid
to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among
banks for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such
corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding
amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date
such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans for such Class of
Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.4(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Loan
Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that a Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of
any default by such Lender hereunder.

2.5 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used (A) to pay for the fees, costs and
expenses owing to the Agents, the Lenders, the Prepetition Agents and the Prepetition Indebtedness Holders in
accordance with the Credit Documents, (B) to fund ongoing working capital requirements of the Company and its
Subsidiaries including, without limitation, payments of the administrative expenses of the kind specified in Section
503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Borrowers or otherwise approved
by the Bankruptcy Court (and not otherwise prohibited under this Agreement), (C) to pay for fees, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, Carve-Out Expenses, (D) to pay amounts owing on the Obligations as
provided herein and (E) for general corporate purposes. No portion of the proceeds of any Loan Extension shall be
used in any manner that causes or might cause such Loan Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate
Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other
regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

36

2.6 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an
account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Credit Parties to such Lender, including the amounts of the
Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be
conclusive and binding on the Credit Parties, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such
recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Credit Parties’ Obligations in respect of any
applicable Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s
records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b) Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the
“Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by any Credit Party or any Lender at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the
Loans, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such
recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Credit Parties and each Lender, absent manifest error;
provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Credit
Parties’ Obligations in respect of any Loan. Each Credit Party hereby designates the entity serving as
Administrative Agent to serve as such Credit Party’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as
provided in this Section 2.6, and each Credit Party hereby agrees that, to the extent such entity serves in such
capacity, the entity serving as Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates
shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

(c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Administrative Borrower
(with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time
thereafter, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in
such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 12.6) on the Closing Date (or, if
such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence
such Lender’s Loan.

2.7 Interest on Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall be a LIBOR Rate Loan and shall
bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) thereof at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Except as otherwise
provided herein, each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Interest Period shall be selected by the Administrative Borrower and notified to
Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Interest Election Request, as the
case may be.

37

(c) There shall be no more than four (4) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the
event the Administrative Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period in the applicable Funding Notice or Interest
Election Request, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as
practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative
Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all
parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being
determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to Administrative Borrower and each Lender.

(d) Interest payable on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. Interest payable on Base Rate Loans
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such
Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period
applicable to such Loan shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one
day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on
and to (i) each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan; (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether
voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) at maturity, including final
maturity.

2.8 Interest Election Requests. The Administrative Borrower may elect the Interest Period for any
Loan as provided in this Section 2.8. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and
be delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the end of the preceding
Interest Period and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.1:

(i) the Loans to which such Interest Election Request applies;

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which
shall be a Business Day; and

(iii) the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.7(c).
2.9 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on
the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post petition interest
in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that
is two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the
applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is two

38

percent (2%) per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans); provided,
in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in
interest rate is effective such LIBOR Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear
interest payable upon demand at a rate which is two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise
payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this
Section 2.9 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default
or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

2.10 Fees.

(a) Agents Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to Agents all fees specified in the Fee Letter
in the amounts and at the times specified therein and to Agents such other fees in the amounts and at the times

$250,000 in excess thereof; provided that except as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.12, no such
prepayment shall reduce the Commitments hereunder.

written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each
applicable Lender), at any time and from time to time permanently reduce the Commitments to an amount not
less than $15 million.

(ii) Administrative Borrower’s notice to Administrative Agent shall designate the

Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer
demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

2.14 Application of Prepayments. Any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13
shall be applied as follows:

first, to the payment of all expenses and fees to the full extent thereof;

second, to the payment of any accrued interest at the Default Rate, if any;

third, to the payment of any accrued interest (other than Default Rate interest);

fourth, with respect to payments pursuant to Section 2.12, to prepay the Loans until repaid in full
(but without corresponding reduction of the Commitments); and

41

fifth, except with respect to payments pursuant to Section 2.12, to prepay the outstanding Loans
until repaid in full and to permanently reduce any remaining Commitments to the full extent thereof;
provided, however that mandatory prepayments arising under clauses (e) and (f) of Section 2.13 shall not
result in the Commitments being permanently reduced below $10 million and provided, further, that the
Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, may elect to waive any permanent
reduction of the Commitments under this paragraph fifth.

2.15 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by the Borrowers of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be
made in Dollars in same day funds, without, recoupment, setoff, counterclaim or other defense free of any
restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
the date due to Administrative Agent’s Account for the account of Lenders; funds received by Administrative
Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrowers on the next Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by
payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.

(c) Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such
Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of
principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with
respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent.

(d) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period, “ whenever any
payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall
be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of
the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder.

(e) Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers hereunder
that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming
payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later
of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Interest shall
continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become
available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding
applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate determined pursuant to Section 2.9 from the date such amount was
due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(f) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the
maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1, all payments or proceeds received
by Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.14 hereof.

42

2.16 Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in
the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the
Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made
and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set off or banker’s lien, by
counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as
adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction
of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such
Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such
Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due
to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative
Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase
participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon
the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that
all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate
Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing
Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender, those purchases to that extent shall be rescinded and the purchase
prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery,
but without interest. Borrowers expressly consent to the foregoing arrangement and agree that any holder of a
participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set off or counterclaim with respect to
any and all monies owing by Borrowers to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the
amount of the participation held by that holder.

2.17 Making or Maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans.

(a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent
shall have reasonably determined (which determination absent manifest error shall be final and conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans,
that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of
Adjusted LIBOR Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to Administrative Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no
Loans may be made as LIBOR Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Administrative
Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding
Notice or Interest Election Request given by Administrative Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of
which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Administrative Borrower.

43

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any
Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination absent manifest error shall be final and conclusive
and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Administrative Borrower and
Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its LIBOR Rate Loans (i) has become
unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule,
regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or
order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has
become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely
affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event,
such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to Administrative Borrower and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected
Lender to make Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the
Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a LIBOR Rate Loan then
being requested by the Borrowers pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Interest Election Request, the Affected
Lender shall make or convert such Loan to a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its
outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the
expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and
(4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. The
Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on the amount so converted and all amounts due under Section 2.17(c) in
accordance with the terms thereof due to such conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a
determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a LIBOR Rate Loan then being requested by
the Borrowers pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Interest Election Request, the Administrative Borrower shall
have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.17(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or Interest Election
Request as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to
Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its
determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to
each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.17(b)
shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as LIBOR
Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrowers


shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for
requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or
calculated to be due and payable by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR
Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re
employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender actually sustains: (i) if
for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Loan (or commencement of any Interest
Period) does not occur on a date specified
44

therefor in a Funding Notice or Interest Election Request, as the case may be; (ii) if any prepayment or other
principal payment of its LIBOR Rate Loans occurs on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period
applicable to that Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or
(iii) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of
prepayment given by Administrative Borrower.

(d) Booking of LIBOR Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer LIBOR Rate
Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts
payable to a Lender under this Section 2.17 and under Section 2.18 shall be made as though such Lender had
actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Rate Loans through the purchase of a LIBOR deposit bearing interest
at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the
amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through
the transfer of such LIBOR deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in
the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans in any
manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts
payable under this Section 2.17 and under Section 2.18.

2.18 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans.

(a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.19
(which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall
determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties
hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the
interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or
governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or governmental authority, in each case
that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or
directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi governmental
authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to
any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement
or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such
Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii)
imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or
other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any
other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with
respect to LIBOR Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate); or (iii) imposes any
other condition (other than with respect to a Tax

45

matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London
interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to
make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or
its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay to such
Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the
form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole
discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or
reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Administrative Borrower
(with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for
calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.18(a), which statement shall be
conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender shall have reasonably
determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or
regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any
guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with
reference to, such Lender’s Loans, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the
Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such
adoption, effectiveness, phase in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of
such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five
Business Days after receipt by Administrative Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next
sentence, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
or such controlling corporation on an after tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to
Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.18(b), which statement
shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

2.19 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by any Credit Party hereunder and
under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and
without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than an Excluded Tax) imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the
United States of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any
Credit Party or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America or any such jurisdiction
is a member at the time of payment.

46

(b) Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to
make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax (other than an Excluded Tax) from any sum paid or
payable under any of the Credit Documents: (i) Administrative Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of
any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as any Borrower become aware of it; (ii)
Borrowers shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if
the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent
or such Lender; (iii) the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding
or payment, is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that
deduction, withholding or payment of all Taxes, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and
each of their Tax Related Persons receives on the due date and retains a net sum equal to what it would have
received and retained had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within
thirty (30) days after making any such deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of
payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Administrative Borrower shall deliver to
Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding and
payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority; provided, no such additional
amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender under clause (iii) above except to the extent that any change in
law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the
signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or after the effective date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to
which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender) shall result in an increase in the rate of
such deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the date hereof or at the date of such Assignment
Agreement in respect of payments to such Lender.

(c) Other Taxes. In addition, the Credit Parties shall pay all Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authorities in accordance with applicable law. The Credit Parties shall deliver to Administrative
Agent official receipts or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent in
respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification. The Credit Parties shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender, within
ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) paid or
incurred by such Agent or such Lender or their respective Tax Related Persons, as the case may be, relating to,
arising out of, or in connection with any Credit Document or any payment or transaction contemplated hereby or
thereby, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority; provided, however, that the Credit Parties shall not be required to indemnify the Agents, Lenders and
Participants for any Taxes that would be excluded from a gross-up under Section 2.19(b) or to the extent such
Taxes are covered by Sections 2.19(b) or (c). Such indemnification shall be made on an after-Tax basis, such that
after all required

47

deductions and payments of all Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) (including income Taxes and deductions
applicable to amounts payable under this Section 2.19(d)) and payment of all reasonable expenses, the Agents,
the Lenders and each of their respective Tax Related Persons receives and retains an amount equal to the sum it
would have received and retained had it not paid or incurred or been subject to such Taxes. A certificate from the
relevant Lender or Agent, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such Taxes shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error.

(e) Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is not a United
States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal
income tax purposes (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower with a copy to the
Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages
hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes
a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of
Administrative Borrower or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two
original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI (or any successor forms),
properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal
Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Administrative Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject
to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of
principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents or is subject to deduction or
withholding at a reduced rate, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver Internal Revenue Service Form W 8ECI pursuant to clause (i)
above, a Certificate Regarding Non Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other
documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Administrative Borrower
to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with
respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Credit Documents. Each Lender
required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax
withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.19(e) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by
such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances
renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender
shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Administrative Borrower two new original
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, or a Certificate Regarding Non Bank
Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), as the case
may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the
Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Administrative Borrower to confirm or establish that such
Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to
such Lender under the Credit Documents or is subject to deduction or withholding at a reduced rate, or notify
Administrative Agent and Administrative Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other
evidence. Borrowers shall not be

48

required to pay any additional amount to any Non-U.S. Lender under Section 2.19(b)(iii) if such Lender shall
have failed to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in this Section 2.19(e) that it is legally
entitled to deliver; provided, if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this
Section 2.19(e) on the Closing Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a
Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.19(e) shall relieve Borrowers of their obligation
to pay any additional amounts pursuant this Section 2.19 in the event that, as a result of any change in any
applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation,
administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or
other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as
described herein. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be construed to require a Lender, Agent or Participant to
provide any forms or documentation that it is not legally entitled to provide.

2.20 Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of
such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of
a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive
payments under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such
Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain
its Loan Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other
measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such
Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required
to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19 would be materially reduced and if, as determined
by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other
office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such
Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office
pursuant to this Section 2.20 unless Borrowers agree to pay all costs and expenses incurred by such Lender as a
result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable
by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.20 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount)
submitted by such Lender to Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

2.21 Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that
any Lender, other than at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority, defaults (a “Defaulting
Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) any Loan or its portion of any unreimbursed payment
under Section 2.3(e) (in each case, a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any
matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Credit Documents; and (b) to
the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender
shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of Loans shall, if Administrative Agent so directs at
the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender
had no
49

Loans outstanding and the outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (ii) any mandatory
prepayment of the Loans shall, if Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such mandatory
prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such
Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender. No Commitment of any Lender shall
be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.21, performance by
Borrowers of their obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified
as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.21. The rights and remedies against a
Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.21 are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Borrowers may
have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any
Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

2.22 Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary


notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to
Administrative Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments
under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or
which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to
withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Administrative Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b)
(i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in
effect, and (iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting
Lender within five Business Days after Administrative Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in
connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the
provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 12.5(b), the consent of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders
shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each, a “Non-Consenting Lender”)
whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender,
Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), Administrative Agent may (which, in
the case of an Increased-Cost Lender, only after receiving written request from Administrative Borrower to remove
such Increased-Cost Lender), by giving written notice to Administrative Borrower and any Terminated Lender of its
election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to
assign its outstanding Loans, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Replacement Lender”) in
accordance with the provisions of Section 12.6 and Terminated Lender shall pay any fees payable thereunder in
connection with such assignment; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to
Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest
on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings that have
been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and
(C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to
Section 2.10; (2) on the date of such assignment, Borrowers shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated
Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19; and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender,
each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such
Terminated Lender was a Non Consenting Lender. Upon

50

the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute
a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall
survive as to such Terminated Lender.

2.23 Notices. Any Notice shall be executed by an Authorized Officer in a writing delivered to
Administrative Agent. In lieu of delivering a Notice, Administrative Borrower may give Administrative Agent
telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed borrowing or Interest Election Request as the case may be;
provided each such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of the applicable Notice to
Administrative Agent on or before the applicable date of borrowing, continuation/conversion or issuance. Neither
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in acting
upon any telephonic notice referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by
a duly authorized officer or other person authorized on behalf of Borrowers or for otherwise acting in good faith.

2.24 Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the
contrary, each of the Borrowers hereby accepts joint and several liability hereunder and under the other
Credit Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Agents and the
Lenders under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and
indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to
accept joint and several liability for the Obligations. Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several
liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations
(including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 2.24), it being the intention of the
parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers
without preferences or distinction among them. If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to
make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the
Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrowers will make

Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the provisions of this Section 2.24 constitute the absolute and

whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether any of the
conditions precedent in Section 3 have been satisfied. Any amount charged to the Loan Account of the Borrowers
shall be deemed a Loan hereunder made by the Lenders to the Borrowers. The Lenders and the Borrowers confirm
that any charges which the Administrative Agent may so make to the Loan Account of the Borrowers as herein
provided will be made as an accommodation to the Borrowers and solely at the Administrative Agent’s discretion.

Agreements, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, could constitute

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.16 Material Contracts. Schedule 4.16 contains a true, correct and complete list of all the Material
Contracts in effect on the Closing Date. All such Material Contracts, together with any updates provided pursuant to

other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof,
together with such actions, powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent shall have
only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Credit Documents. Each
Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or
employees. No Agent shall have or be deemed to have, by reason hereof or any of the other Credit Documents, a

any of the other Credit Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

9.3 General Immunity.

(a) No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for
the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other

statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to
Lenders or by or on behalf of any Credit Party to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the Credit
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any
Credit Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to
ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or
agreements contained in any of the Credit Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the
existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the
foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any
liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component amounts thereof.

(b) Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees
or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any
of the Credit Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order. Each Agent shall be entitled to
refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or
any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it
hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from
Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 12.5) or, in
the case of the Collateral Agent, in accordance with the any applicable Collateral Document, and, upon receipt of
such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), or in accordance with the
applicable Collateral Document, as the case may be, such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed)
refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such
instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine

notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to Events of Default in the

Agreement, describing

92

such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent
will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with
respect to any such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with
Section 8; provided, however, that unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such direction,

hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions
delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each
Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own
securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the

of the financial condition and affairs of Company and its Subsidiaries, without reliance upon any Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, in connection with
Loan Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness of Company and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially
or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide
any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before
the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with
respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document
required to be approved by any Agent, Requisite Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date.

indemnify each Agent, their Affiliates and their respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees,
representatives and agents of each Agent (each, an “Indemnitee Agent Party”), to the extent that such Indemnitee
Agent Party shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or
93

disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such
Indemnitee Agent Party in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the
other Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Indemnitee Agent Party in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR
ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR SOLE
NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH AGENT; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from
such Indemnitee Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order. If any indemnity furnished to any Indemnitee Agent Party for any
purpose shall, in the opinion of such Indemnitee Agent Party, be insufficient or become impaired, such Indemnitee
Agent Party may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until
such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify
any Indemnitee Agent Party against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost,
expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall
not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Indemnitee Agent Party against any liability, obligation, loss,
damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately
preceding sentence.

(a) Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice thereof to Lenders and Administrative Borrower. Upon any such notice of resignation, Requisite Lenders
shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to Administrative Borrower, to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite 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 from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent
all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held by it, together with all records and other documents
necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent
under the Credit Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent such
amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in
connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the
Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent,
the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was Administrative Agent hereunder.

94

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent may assign its
rights and duties as Administrative Agent hereunder to an Affiliate of Silver Point without the prior written
consent of, or prior written notice to, Administrative Borrower or the Lenders; provided that Administrative
Borrower and the Lenders may deem and treat such assigning Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent for
all purposes hereof, unless and until such assigning Administrative Agent provides written notice to
Administrative Borrower and the Lenders of such assignment. Upon such assignment such Affiliate shall
succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent hereunder
and under the other Credit Documents.

(c) Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document by or through any one

the books and records relating thereto.

appoint the Collateral Agent or its designee on behalf of the Collateral Agent as the Borrowers’ attorney-in-fact
with power exercisable during the continuance of an Event of Default to endorse the Borrower’s name upon any
notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Accounts
Receivable, to sign any Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Accounts
Receivable, drafts against Account Debtors with respect to Accounts Receivable, assignments and verifications

of Accounts Receivable, and to notify the Postal Service authorities to change the address for delivery of mail

other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby
ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission
(other than acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by
a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law not
constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until all of the Loans and other Obligations
under the Credit Documents are paid in full and all of the Credit Documents are terminated.

Borrower for any purpose whatsoever, and the Agents shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage,
discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of

101

the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof (other than from acts of
omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents shall not, under any circumstance or in any event whatsoever,
have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or
payment of any of the Accounts Receivable or any instrument received in payment thereof or for any damage
resulting therefrom (other than acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents, by anything
herein or in any assignment or otherwise, do not assume any of the obligations under any contract or agreement
assigned to any Agent and shall not be responsible in any way for the performance by any Borrower of any of the
terms and conditions thereof.

(d) If any Account Receivable includes a charge for any tax payable to any Governmental
Authority, each Agent is hereby authorized (but in no event obligated) in its discretion to pay the amount thereof
to the proper taxing authority for the applicable Borrower’s account and to charge the Borrowers therefor. The
Borrowers shall notify the Agents if any Account Receivable includes any taxes due to any such Governmental
Authority and, in the absence of such notice, the Agents shall have the right to apply the full proceeds of such
Account Receivable and shall not be liable for any taxes that may be due by reason of the sale and delivery
creating such Account Receivable.
(e) Notwithstanding any other terms set forth in the Credit Documents, the rights and
remedies of the Agents and the Lenders herein provided, and the obligations of the Borrowers set forth herein, are
cumulative of, may be exercised singly or concurrently with, and are not exclusive of, any other rights, remedies
or obligations set forth in any other Credit Document or as provided by law.

11.2 Accounts Receivable Documentation. The Borrowers will at such intervals as the Collateral
Agent may reasonably require, execute and deliver confirmatory written assignments of the Accounts Receivable to
the Agents and furnish such further schedules and/or information as any such Agent may reasonably require relating
to the Accounts Receivable. The items to be provided under this Section 11.2 are to be in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and are to be executed and delivered to the Agents from time to time solely for
their convenience in maintaining records of the Collateral. A Borrower’s failure to give any of such items to the
Agents shall not affect, terminate, modify or otherwise limit the Collateral Agent’s Lien on the Collateral. If the
Borrowers become aware of anything materially detrimental to any Borrower’s material customers’ credit, the
Borrowers will promptly advise the Agents thereof.

11.3 Status of Accounts Receivable and Other Collateral. With respect to Collateral of the
Borrowers at the time the Collateral becomes subject to the Collateral Agent’s Lien, each Borrower covenants,
represents and warrants: (a) to the best knowledge of such Borrower, each Account Receivable shall be a good and
valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred or an amount owed by the Account Debtor therein
named; (b) all agreements, instruments and other documents relating to any Account Receivable shall be true and
correct and in all material respects what they purport to be; and (c) such Borrower shall maintain books and records
pertaining to said Collateral in such detail, form and scope as the Agents shall reasonably require.

of Default, the Collateral Agent or its designee may at any time and from time to time employ and maintain on the
premises of the Borrowers a custodian selected by the Collateral Agent or its designee who shall have full authority
to do all acts necessary to protect the Agents’ and the Lenders’ interests in the Collateral. Each Borrower hereby
agrees to, and to cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with any such custodian and to do whatever the Collateral
Agent or its designee may reasonably request to preserve the Collateral. All costs and expenses incurred by the
Collateral Agent or its designee by reason of the employment of the custodian shall be the responsibility of the
Borrowers and charged to the Loan Account.

(ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment due such Lender
(but not prepayment);

(iii) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan of such Lender (other than any
amendment to the definition of “Default Rate” (which may be affected by consent of the Requisite
Lenders) and any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section 2.9)
or any fee payable hereunder;

(iv) extend the time for payment of any such interest or fees to such Lender;

(v) reduce the principal amount of any Loan;

105

(vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Section 12.5(b) or
Section 12.5(c);

(vii) amend the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”;


(viii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or if more than one Guarantor at
such time, all or substantially all Guarantors from any Guaranty except as expressly provided in the Credit
Documents; or

(ix) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights
and obligations under any Credit Document;

provided, however, that the Fee Letter may be amended or modified, or the rights or privileges thereunder
waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto.

(c) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision


of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall amend, modify,
terminate or waive any provision of Section 9 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 consent of such Agent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to
approve or disapprove any amendment, modification, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of
such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

(d) Execution of Amendments, etc. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation
to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of
such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to
any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification,
termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 12.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at
the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party.

12.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of
Lenders. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated
by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by
any Credit Party 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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

106

(b) Register. The Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the
Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans
listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be
effective, in each case, unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof
shall have been delivered to and accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in
Section 12.6(e). Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan
shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of
any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register
as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding
Commitments or Loans. Solely for the purposes of maintaining the Register and for tax purposes only
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be acting on behalf of the Credit Parties.
(c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment or
Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided, however, that each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and
not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Loan and any related
Commitments) to any Person otherwise constituting an Eligible Assignee with the consent of Administrative
Agent; provided, each such assignment pursuant to this Section 12.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not
less than $2,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Administrative Agent or as shall constitute
the aggregate amount of the whole Commitment of the assigning Lender).

(d) Mechanics. The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall execute and deliver to
Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any,
with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment
Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.19(e).

(e) Notice of Assignment. Upon its receipt and acceptance of a duly executed and
completed Assignment Agreement, any forms, certificates or other evidence required by this Agreement in
connection therewith, Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in such Assignment
Agreement in the Register, shall give prompt notice thereof to Administrative Borrower and shall maintain a
copy of such Assignment Agreement.

(f) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery
hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, represents and warrants
as of the Closing Date or as of the applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement)
that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in
commitments or

107

loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the
case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a
view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 12.6, the
disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(g) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 12.6, as of the
“Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the
rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for
all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights
which survive the termination hereof under Section 12.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in
the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the
Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the
benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior
involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect
the Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such
assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of
such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent
for cancellation, and thereupon Borrowers shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee
and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect
the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.
(h) Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more
participations to any Person (other than Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part
of its Commitments, Loans, Notes or in any other Lender Obligation. The holder of any such participation (a
“Participant”), other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require
such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or
waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such Participant is
participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except any amendment
to the definition of “Default Rate” or in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in
interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participant’s participation
over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of
a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and
that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any Participant if the
Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any
Credit Party of any of its rights and

108

obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral
Documents or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty (in each case, except as expressly
provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such Participant is
participating. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled, through the participating Lender, to the
benefits of Sections 2.17(c), 2.18 and 2.19 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to clause (c) of this Section; provided, (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 2.18 or 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with
respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with Borrowers’ prior written consent, and (ii) a Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender
shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.19 unless Administrative Borrower is notified of the participation
sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.19 as
though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 12.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though
it were a Lender.

(i) Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to
this Section 12.6, any Lender may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its
Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such
Lender including any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank;
provided, no Lender, as between Borrowers and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder
as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal
Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to
take or omit to take any action hereunder.

12.7 Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
any Lender (“Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an SPC”), identified as such in
writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, the option to provide
to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the
Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC
to make any Loans and (y) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of
such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a
Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such
Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any
indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting
Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all
outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other
person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition,

109

notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the
prior written consent of, the Borrowers or Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor,
assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented
to by Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support
the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to
its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity
enhancement to such SPC. This Section may not be amended without the written consent of the SPC. Borrowers
acknowledge and agree, subject to the next sentence, that, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each
SPC, for purposes of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 2.19, 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4, shall be considered a Lender. Borrowers
shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 2.19, 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4 that is greater than
the amount which it would have been required to pay had no grant been made by a Granting Lender to a SPC.

12.8 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that
if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an
exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a
Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

12.9 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and
agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Loan
Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party
set forth in Sections 2.17(c), 2.18, 2.19, 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.16,
9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans.

12.10 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender
in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such
power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other
power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are
cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any
statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay
in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be
construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

12.11 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or
all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or
Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders
enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of
such

110

enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state
or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

12.12 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Note or other Credit
Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way
be affected or impaired thereby.

12.13 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders
hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender
hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant
hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other
kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt,
and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for
any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

12.14 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and
shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

12.15 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF
THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT TO THE
EXTENT NEW YORK LAW IS SUPERSEDED BY THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

12.16 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE.

ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT


OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, AND,
BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. EACH CREDIT
PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF THE
BANKRUPTCY COURT AND IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF
COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE
ADMINISTRATIVE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS

111

FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.01. THE CREDIT PARTIES AGREE 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 HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENTS
AND THE LENDERS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW
OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY CREDIT
PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION
WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF
ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH
LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY
CREDIT PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF
ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE,
ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE)
WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND
THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS.

12.17 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

EACH CREDIT PARTY, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM
CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS,
OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER
AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR
COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH
CREDIT PARTY CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF
ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT ANY
AGENT OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. EACH CREDIT PARTY
HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE
AGENTS AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

12.18 Confidentiality. Each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding Company and its
Subsidiaries and their businesses clearly identified as such by Borrowers and obtained by such Lender pursuant to
the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential
information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by the Borrowers that, in any event, a Lender may make
(i) disclosures of such

112

information to Affiliates of such Lender and to their directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (and to other
persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with
disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 12.17), who shall be advised of the confidential nature
of the disclosures, (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee,
transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of
any Loans or any participations therein, who shall be advised of the confidential nature of the disclosures, (iii)
disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall
undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties
received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, (iv) disclosures to any Lender’s financing sources, provided
that prior to any disclosure, such financing source is informed of the confidential nature of the information, (v)
disclosure of information which (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section
12.17 or (B) becomes available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than the Borrowers, and (vi) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative
thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by
applicable law or court order, each Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrowers of any request by
any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination
of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure
of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or
after the Closing Date, Administrative Agent may, at its own expense, issue news releases and publish “tombstone”
advertisements and other announcements relating to this transaction in newspapers, trade journals and other
appropriate media.
12.19 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate
charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection
therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate
of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the
Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful
Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due
hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if
when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase
provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates
of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrowers
shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the
amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in
effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrowers to conform strictly to any
applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which
constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and,
if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder
or be refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by
Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest,
(b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or
unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

113

12.20 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but
one and the same instrument.

12.21 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof
by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Administrative Borrower and Administrative Agent of written or
telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

12.22 Patriot Act. Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender)
hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and
record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such
Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such
Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

12.23 Disclosure. Each Credit Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that
Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates and Related Funds from time to time may hold investments in, and make
other loans to, or have other relationships with any of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates. In addition,
each Credit Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges that that the Administrative Agent and/or affiliates of the
Administrative Agent and/or its Related Funds have also purchased certain equity interests in the Company.

12.24 Company as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as
the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for the Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment
shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Agents shall have received prior written notice signed by all
of the Borrowers that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed
Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower
(i) to provide to the Agents and receive from the Agents all notices with respect to Loans obtained for the benefit of
any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the
Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and to exercise such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the
Loan

114

Accounts and Collateral of the Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an
accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most
efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that neither the Agents nor the Lenders shall incur liability
to the Borrowers as a result hereof. Each of the Borrowers expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the
handling of the Loan Accounts and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each
Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Agents and
the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each of the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agrees to
indemnify the Indemnitees and hold the Indemnitees harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of
damage or injury, made against such Indemnitee by any of the Borrowers or by any third party whosoever, arising
from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loan Accounts and Collateral of the Borrowers as herein
provided, (b) the Agents and the Lenders relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any
other action taken by any Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Credit Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this Section 12.24 for any
liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury which is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

12.25 Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the
purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance
with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender
(other than Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Administrative
Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request therefore shall deliver such Collateral to
Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions.

12.26 Advertising and Publicity. No Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
issue or disseminate to the public (by advertisement, including without limitation any “tombstone” advertisement,
press release or otherwise), submit for publication or otherwise cause or seek to publish any information describing
the credit or other financial accommodations made available by Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. Nothing in the foregoing shall be
construed to prohibit any Credit Party from making any submission or filing which it is required to make by
applicable law or pursuant to judicial process; provided, that, (i) such filing or submission shall contain only such
information as is necessary to comply with applicable law or judicial process and (ii) unless specifically prohibited
by applicable law or court order, Administrative Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of the
requirement to make such submission or filing and provide Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.

115
