thereof.

transfer to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its
participation, and the proceeds of such participations shall be distributed by the Administrative
Agent to the Swingline Lender. All payments by the Revolving Lenders in respect of Unrefunded

Incremental Term Loan B Maturity Date |
|
$ |
97,000,000 |
|
(iii) To the extent not previously paid, (x) all Original Term Loans shall be due and payable
on the Original Term Loan Maturity Date and (y) all Incremental Term B Loans shall be due and
payable on the Incremental Term B Maturity Date.
-53-
(e) (i) Mandatory prepayments of Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(c) will be
applied to the then outstanding Original Term Loans and Incremental Term B Loans on a pro rata
basis, to reduce scheduled repayments with respect thereto required under Section 2.05(d)
first, in direct order for the next eight unpaid Original Term Loan Installment Payment Dates and
Incremental Term B Installment Payment Dates and thereafter, on a pro rata basis among the
repayments with respect thereto remaining to be made on each Original Term Loan Installment Payment
Date and Incremental Term B Installment Payment Date.
(ii) After all the then outstanding amounts under the Term Loans have been paid in full,
mandatory prepayments of Loans required by Section 2.05(c)(i), (iii) and
(iv) shall be applied as follows: first, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the
Second Lien Loans; second, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Swingline Loans until
all Swingline Loans shall have been paid in full; third, to repay the outstanding principal balance
of the Revolving Loans until all Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full (with no reduction in
the Revolving Credit Commitment); and fourth, to provide cash collateral for any LC Exposure in the
manner set forth in Section 2.06(j) until all LC Exposure has been fully cash
collateralized in the manner set forth therein. After all the then outstanding amounts under the
Term Loans have been paid in full, mandatory prepayments of Loans required by Section
2.05(c)(ii) shall be applied as follows: first, to repay the outstanding principal balance of
the Swingline Loans until all Swingline Loans shall have been paid in full; second, to repay the
outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans until all Revolving Loans shall have been paid
in full (with no reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitment); third, to provide cash collateral
for any LC Exposure in the manner set forth in Section 2.06(j) until all LC Exposure has
been fully cash collateralized in the manner set forth therein; and fourth, to repay the
outstanding principal balance of the Second Lien Loans.
(iii) In the event of any mandatory prepayment as a result of an event described in Section
2.05(c), the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect may be permanently reduced (on a pro
rata basis) at Borrowers election only by the Reduction Amount in respect of such mandatory
prepayment; provided that in no event shall the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments be reduced
to less than $10,000,000 pursuant to this Section 2.05(e)(iii). Following any such
reduction, Borrower shall comply with Section 2.05(b).
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no optional or mandatory
prepayment of any Loans (including Revolving Loans) shall reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment
without Borrower affirmatively electing in writing first for such commitments to so be reduced.
(iv) Optional repayments of Loans shall be applied as elected by Borrower; provided that
optional repayments of Term Loans shall be allocated to reduce scheduled prepayments with respect
thereto under Section 2.05(d) on a pro rata basis among the prepayments with respect
thereto remaining to be paid on each Installment Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, Borrower may make optional
repayments of Incremental Term B Loans prior to making any optional repayments of Original Term
Loans.
-54-
(f) If on any day on which Loans would otherwise be required to be prepaid pursuant to this
Section 2.05, but for the operation of this Section 2.05(f) (each a Prepayment
Date), the amount of such required prepayment exceeds the then outstanding aggregate principal
amount of ABR Loans which are of the Class required to be prepaid, and no Default or Event of
Default exists or is continuing, then on such Prepayment Date, (i) the applicable Borrower may, at
its option, deposit funds into the Collateral Account in an amount equal to such excess, and only
the outstanding ABR Loans which are of the Class required to be prepaid shall be required to be
prepaid on such Prepayment Date, and (ii) on the last day of each Interest Period ending on or
after such Prepayment Date in effect with respect to a Eurodollar Loan which is of the Class
required to be prepaid, the Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized and directed to apply
funds from the Collateral Account (and liquidate investments held in the Collateral Account as
necessary) to prepay such Eurodollar Loans for which the Interest Period is then ending to the
extent funds are available in the Collateral Account.
(g) Upon any optional prepayment of the Term Loans (in whole or in part, including pursuant to
a refinancing thereof) at any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the Amendment No. 1
Effectiveness Date with the proceeds of any Repricing Transaction, Borrowers shall pay a premium
equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of any portion of such Term Loans optionally prepaid.
SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may
request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and Borrower, at any time and from time to time on the
Closing Date or during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of
letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by Borrower to, or entered into by
Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control.
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request
the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter
of Credit), Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire
(which shall comply with Section 2.06(c)), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name
and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare,
amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, Borrower also
shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Banks standard form in connection with
any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or
extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit
Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving
-55-
effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not
exceed $12,000,000, (ii) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $10,000,
or lesser amount as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank and (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. If Borrower so requests, the
Issuing Bank may agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an
Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit
the Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing
with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary
thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such
Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, Borrower shall not be
required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such renewal. The Issuing Bank
shall not permit any such renewal if the Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no
obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of
Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or
extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date.
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the
Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each
Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit
equal to such Revolving Lenders Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lenders Commitment Percentage of each LC
Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrower on the date due as provided in
Section 2.06(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrower for
any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an
Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each
such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative
Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
Business Day immediately following the day that Borrower shall have received written notice of such
LC Disbursement; provided that Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth
herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with an ABR
Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed,
Borrowers obligation to make such payment shall be discharged
-56-
and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If Borrower fails to
make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the
applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from Borrower in respect thereof and such
Revolving Lenders Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each
Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Commitment Percentage of the payment
then due from Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to
Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the
payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to
the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Upon such payment by a
Revolving Lender, such Revolving Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default of the
type described in Section 7.01(a) or an Event of Default (and notwithstanding whether or
not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 shall have been satisfied (which
conditions precedent the Revolving Lenders hereby irrevocably waive)), be deemed to have made an
ABR Revolving Loan to Borrower in the principal amount of such payment. Promptly following receipt
by the Administrative Agent of any payment from Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that
Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then
to such Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by
a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement
(other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not
constitute a Loan and shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC
Disbursement.
(f) Obligations Absolute. Borrowers obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as
provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever (to the extent permitted by applicable law) and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity
or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii)
any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or
invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii)
payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other
document that does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any
other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might,
but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a
right of setoff against, Borrowers obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the
Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability
or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of
Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or
delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to
any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in
interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the
Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from
liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages,
claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Banks failure to
-57-
exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of
Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of
bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have
exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting
the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on
their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank
may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary,
or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict
compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank
has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in
giving such notice shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and
the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is
made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such
LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at
the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that if Borrower fails to
reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.06(e) (either directly or
pursuant to a deemed Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.06(e)), then Section
2.08(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of
the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving
Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account
of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by
written agreement among Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the
successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement
of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, Borrower shall pay
all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section
2.10(b). From and after the date of effectiveness of any such replacement, (i) the successor
Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement
with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term
Issuing Bank shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to
such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement
of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement
-58-
with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be
required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j) Cash Collateralization. (i) Upon the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (ii) if any
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to
Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, or (iii) if required pursuant to Section
2.05(e)(ii) or Section 7.05, then on the Business Day that Borrower receives notice
from the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC
Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, Borrower shall
deposit in the Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus
any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash
collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and
payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in Section 7.01(i) (other than clause (i) thereof). Each such deposit shall be
held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of
Borrower under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit and Borrower hereby grants the
Collateral Agent a security interest in respect of each such deposit and the Collateral Account in
which such deposits are held. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control,
including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral Account. Other than any interest
earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made in cash and Cash
Equivalents by the Collateral Agent at Borrowers risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear
interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the Collateral
Account. Moneys deposited in the Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 2.06(j) shall
be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it
has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of
the reimbursement obligations relating to Letters of Credit so cash collateralized of Borrower for
the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to
the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC
Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
of Borrower under this Agreement. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral
hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount together with interest
income (if any) (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within three
Business Days after all Defaults or Events of Default have been cured or waived.
SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) (i) Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the relevant Lenders in respect of Revolving Credit Borrowings, on the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Revolving Loan becomes due and
payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of
each Revolving Loan and each Swingline Loan made to it by each such Lender, (ii) Borrowers hereby,
jointly and severally, unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Original Term Lenders on the Original Term Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and
to the extent that, such Original Term Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section
2.05 or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Original
-59-
Term Loan held by each such Original Term Lender and (iii) Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Incremental Term
B Lenders on the Incremental Term B Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that,
such Incremental Term B Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or
Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Incremental Term B Loan held by each such
Incremental Term B Lender. Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest in immediately available
funds at the applicable office of the Administrative Agent (as specified in Section
2.13(a)) on the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, as
applicable, made to it from time to time from the Closing Date until payment in full thereof at the
rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.08. Borrower and the Additional
Borrower hereby jointly and severally further agree to pay interest in immediately available funds
at the applicable office of the Administrative Agent (as specified in Section 2.13(a)) on
the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans made to them from time to time from the Closing Date
or Incremental Term B Effective Date, as applicable, until payment in full thereof at the rates per
annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.08. All payments required hereunder shall
be made in Dollars.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the applicable Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time,
including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such
Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 9.04, and
a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded
(i) the amount of each such Loan, the Class and Type of each such Loan and the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due
and payable from the applicable Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of each such Loan and
(iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the applicable
Borrower in respect of each such Loan and each Lenders share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to Sections
2.07(b) and (c) and the Notes maintained pursuant to Section 2.07(e) shall, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations of the applicable Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as
applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the applicable
Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) The Loans of each Class made by each Lender to the applicable Borrower shall, if requested
by the applicable Lender (which request shall be made to the Administrative Agent), be evidenced by
a single Note duly executed on behalf of such Borrower, in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit K-1 or K-2, as applicable, with the blanks appropriately filled, payable
to the order of such Lender.
-60-
SECTION 2.08. Interest Rates and Payment Dates.
(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed over a year of 360 days) for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto
at a rate per annum equal to:
(i) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan that is a Revolving Loan, (A) the Adjusted LIBO
Rate determined for such Interest Period, plus (B) the Applicable Rate;
(ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan that is an Original Term Loan, (A) the Adjusted
LIBO Rate determined for such Interest Period plus (B) the Applicable Rate; or
(iii) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan that is an Incremental Term B Loan (A) the
Adjusted LIBO Rate determined for such Interest Period plus (B) the Applicable Rate.
(b) Each ABR Loan (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest (computed on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, or over a
year of 360 days when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to clause (b) of the
definition of Alternate Base Rate) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate.
(c) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan, any interest payable thereon or
any Commitment Fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the
stated maturity thereof or by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest
at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal (except as otherwise provided in
clause (y) below), the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.08 plus 2.00% per annum or (y) in the case of any overdue
interest, Commitment Fee or other amount, the rate described in Section 2.08(b) applicable
to an ABR Revolving Loan plus 2.00% per annum, in each case from the date of such nonpayment to
(but excluding) the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).
(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Original
Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of Original Term Loans), the Revolving Credit Maturity Date

shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Eurodollar
Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of
such repayment or prepayment (subject to Section 2.05(f)) and (iii) in the event of any
conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued
interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. Interest in
respect of each Loan shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest Period to but
excluding the last day of such Interest Period.
-61-
SECTION 2.09. Computation of Interest. Each determination of an interest rate by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on
Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.
SECTION 2.10. Fees.
(a) Borrower agrees to pay a commitment fee (a Commitment Fee) to each Revolving Lender
(other than a Defaulting Lender), for which payment will be made in arrears through the
Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December beginning
on the last Business Day of March 2007, and on the Commitment Fee Termination Date (as defined
below). The Commitment Fee due to each Revolving Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders) shall
commence to accrue for a period commencing on the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Revolving
Lender which becomes a Revolving Lender after the Closing Date, the date on which such Revolving
Lender becomes a Revolving Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 9.04(b)) and shall cease to
accrue on the date (the Commitment Fee Termination Date) that is the earlier of (i) the date on
which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Lender shall be terminated as provided
herein and (ii) the first date after the end of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. The
Commitment Fee accrued to each Revolving Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders) shall equal the
Commitment Fee Percentage multiplied by such Revolving Lenders Commitment Fee Average Daily Amount
(as defined below) for the applicable quarter (or shorter period commencing on the Closing Date
(or, in the case of a Revolving Lender which becomes a Revolving Lender after the Closing Date, the
date on which such Revolving Lender becomes a Revolving Lender hereunder pursuant to Section
9.04(b)) and ending with such Lenders Commitment Fee Termination Date). A Revolving Lenders
Commitment Fee Average Daily Amount with respect to a calculation period shall equal the average
daily amount during such period calculated using the daily amount of such Revolving Lenders
Revolving Credit Commitment less such Revolving Lenders Revolving Credit Exposure (excluding
clause (c) of the definition thereof for purposes of determining the Commitment Fee Average Daily
Amount only) for any applicable days during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. All Commitment
Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.
(b) Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving
Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall
accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily
amount of such Lenders LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC
Disbursements) minus the fronting fee during the period from and including the Closing Date to but
excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment
terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to
the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average
daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC
Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of
the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to
be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Banks standard fees with respect to the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.
Participation fees and fronting fees (collectively,
-62-
LC Fees) accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December
of each calendar year during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period shall be payable in arrears on
the last Business Day of such March, June, September and December, commencing on the third Business
day following the last Business Day of March 2007; provided that all such fees shall be payable on
the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the
date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on written demand
including documentation supporting such request. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank
pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 15 days after written demand therefor including
documentation supporting such request. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day).
(c) Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the administrative fee set forth in the
Original Fee Letter (the Agent Fees).
(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the
Administrative Agent for distribution. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable, except to
the extent paid in error.
SECTION 2.11. Termination, Reduction or Adjustment of Commitments.
(a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Original Term Commitments shall terminate at 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date, (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall
terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (iii) the Incremental Term B Commitments shall
terminate on the Incremental Term B Effective Date.
(b) Borrower shall have the right, upon one Business Days notice to the Administrative Agent,
to terminate or, from time to time, reduce the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided
that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after
giving effect thereto and to any repayments of the Loans made on the date of effectiveness thereof,
the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure then outstanding would exceed the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment then in effect.
(c) Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving
Lenders, on each date of termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the
Commitment Fee on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued
to the date of such termination or reduction.
(d) To the extent any reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments reduces the then Available
Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders to an amount equal to or less than the sum of (a) the
Swingline Sublimit and (b) the maximum allowable L/C Exposure, then such reduction in Revolving
Credit Commitments shall reduce on a pro rata basis the Swingline Commitment and the maximum amount
of LC Exposure permitted by Section 2.06(b) by an amount such that the then Available
Revolving Credit Commitments are equal to or less than the sum of (a) and (b).

SECTION 2.12. Inability to Determine Interest Rate; Unavailability of Deposits; Inadequacy
of Interest Rate. If prior to 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days before the first day
of any Interest Period, including an initial Interest Period, for a requested Eurodollar Borrowing,
the Administrative Agent shall have determined reasonably and in good faith (which determination
shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the
relevant market generally, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted
LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent
shall forthwith so notify Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Loan shall
automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into an ABR
Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert ABR Loans into
Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower that the
Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders, as applicable, have determined that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. The Administrative Agent shall provide such
notice promptly upon making such a determination.
SECTION 2.13. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.
(a) Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Lenders shall be made
pro rata according to the amounts of such Revolving Lenders Commitment Percentages. Each payment
(including each prepayment) by the applicable Borrower on account of principal of and interest on
Loans which are ABR Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal
amounts of such ABR Loans then held by the Lenders of the applicable Class. Each payment
(including each prepayment) by the applicable Borrower on account of principal of and interest on
Loans which are Eurodollar Loans designated by such Borrower to be applied to a particular
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal
amounts of such Loans then held by the Lenders of the applicable Class. Each payment (including
each prepayment) by the applicable Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Swingline
Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the
Swingline Loans or participating interests therein, as the case may be, then held by the relevant
Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the applicable Borrower hereunder,
whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or
counterclaim and shall be made prior to 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the due date thereof to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders of the applicable Class, at the Administrative
Agents New York office specified in Section 9.01 in Dollars and in immediately available
funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto in
the same currency as received and promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment
hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect
to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such
extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with
respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into
another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day.
-64-
(b) Subject to Section 2.12, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified
in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would
constitute its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and
the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable
Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent
by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal
Funds Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the
Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.13(b) shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error. If such Lenders share of such Borrowing is not made available to the
Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the
Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the
rate per annum applicable to ABR Revolving Loans hereunder, on demand, from the applicable
Borrower, but without prejudice to any right or claim that Borrower may have against such Lender.
(c) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent from Borrower or the Additional Borrower, as applicable, to pay fully all amounts of
principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder from Borrower or the
Additional Borrower, as applicable, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of
interest and fees then due hereunder from Borrower or the Additional Borrower, as applicable,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then
due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC
Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due from Borrower or the Additional
Borrower, as applicable, to such parties.
SECTION 2.14. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption
of or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall
make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this
Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue
Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be suspended
until such time as the making or maintaining of Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be unlawful, and
(b) such Lenders Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted
automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with
respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law.
SECTION 2.15. Requirements of Law.
(a) If at any time any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that the introduction after the
Closing Date of, or any change after the Closing Date in or in the interpretation of, any law,
treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or
increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the compliance
by such Lender or the Issuing Bank with any guideline, request or directive from
-65-
any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law),
shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank for agreeing to
make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit, then Borrower shall from time to time, within five Business Days
of demand therefor by such Lender or the Issuing Bank (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or the
Issuing Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank for such
increased cost. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the
amount of such increased cost, submitted to Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender or
the Issuing Bank, shall be prima facie presumed correct. Such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as
applicable, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower in writing, accompanied by
a certificate as described above, of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to state, in
reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such
additional amounts shall be payable directly to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable,
within five Business Days of Borrowers receipt of such notice, and such notice shall be prima
facie presumed correct.
(b) If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation,
reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request
(whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other
Governmental Authority in each case after the Closing Date affects or would affect the amount of
capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank and such Lender or
the Issuing Bank reasonably determines that the rate of return on its capital as a consequence of
its Revolving Credit Commitment or the Loans made by it or its participations in Swingline Loans or
any issuance, participation or maintenance of Letters of Credit is reduced to a level below that
which such Lender or the Issuing Bank could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such
circumstance, then, in any such case upon delivery to Borrower of a certificate by such Lender or
the Issuing Bank as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in
reasonable detail) (which shall be prima facie presumed correct) from time to time, Borrowers shall
pay within 10 Business Days directly to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank for such reduction in
rate of return. In determining such amount, such Lender or the Issuing Bank may use any method of
averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable.
(c) In the event that the Issuing Bank or any Lender determines that any event or circumstance
that will lead to a claim under this Section 2.15 has occurred or will occur, the Issuing
Bank or such Lender will use its best efforts to so notify Borrower; provided that, subject to the
next succeeding sentence, any failure to provide such notice shall in no way impair the rights of
the Issuing Bank or such Lender to demand and receive compensation under this Section 2.15,
but without prejudice to any claims of Borrower for compensation for actual damages sustained as a
result of any failure to observe this undertaking. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall
not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15
for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date
that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the event
-66-
or circumstances giving rise to a right of claim pursuant to this Section 2.15 and of
such Lenders or the Issuing Banks intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the
event or circumstances giving rise to such right of claim is retroactive, then the nine month
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
SECTION 2.16. Taxes.
(a) All payments by the Loan Parties of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other
amounts (including fees) payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction
or withholding for, any and all present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and
other taxes, fees, duties, assessments, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature
whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority on the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender (or any assignee of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or a Participant or
a change in designation of the lending office of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be
(a Transferee)), including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto
(Taxes), except as required by applicable law, rule or regulation. If any Indemnified Taxes are
required to be withheld by applicable law, rule or regulation from any payment by a Loan Party,
such Loan Party shall withhold and remit such Taxes in accordance with such requirement. In the
event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by a Loan Party hereunder or
under any other Loan Documents is required in respect of any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to any
applicable law, rule or regulation then such Loan Party will:
(i) timely pay directly to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law the
full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;
(ii) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other
documentation (or copy thereof) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
evidencing such payment to such authority; and
(iii) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing
Bank or Transferees, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as are necessary
to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender or the Issuing Bank or
Transferees, as the case may be, will equal the full amount such Lender or the Issuing Bank
or Transferees, as the case may be, would have received had no such withholding or deduction
of Indemnified Taxes (including any withholding or deduction of Indemnified Taxes applicable
to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.16) been required (for the
avoidance of doubt, it is understood that no payment shall be made pursuant to this
Section 2.16(a)(iii) in respect of the imposition of any Tax other than Indemnified
Taxes).
For purposes hereof, Indemnified Taxes shall mean all Taxes other than (i) Taxes imposed on or
measured by the recipients net income (however measured, and including branch profits tax and
franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes) by a jurisdiction under the laws of which such
Lender or Transferee is organized or incorporated or in which its principal executive office or
applicable lending office is located or in which it conducts a trade or business or has a permanent
establishment (other than a trade, business or permanent establishment deemed to
-67-
arise by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or is otherwise subject to such
Taxes without regard to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) Taxes that are
attributable to any Lenders or Transferees failure to comply with the requirements of Section
2.16(e) and (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender, any withholding tax that is imposed on
amounts payable to such Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this
Agreement, except (x) to the extent that such Foreign Lenders assignor (if any) was entitled, at
the time of Assignment, to receive additional amounts from Borrowers with respect to Indemnified
Taxes pursuant to this section 2.16 or (y) if and to the extent that such Foreign Lender is an
assignee pursuant to a request by Borrower under Section 2.20; provided that this clause
(iii) shall not apply to any Tax imposed on a lender in connection with and only to the extent
relating to an interest or participation in any Loan or other obligation that such Foreign Lender
was required to acquire pursuant to Section 2.19.
(b) The Loan Parties agree to timely pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary
taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including interest, fines
and penalties in addition to tax relating thereto) arising from any payment made under any Loan
Document or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect
to, any Loan Document (Other Taxes).
(c) If any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee with respect to any payment received by the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee hereunder or under any other
Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee may pay
such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and shall promptly notify the applicable Loan Party and the
applicable Loan Party will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties or
interest) as shall be necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the
payment of such Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed on such additional
amount) or Other Taxes shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes not been asserted (for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that no
payment shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.16(c) in respect of the imposition of any
Tax other than Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes).
(d) If Borrowers fail to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate
taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing
Bank, the respective Lenders or Transferees, the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, Borrowers shall indemnify the Issuing Bank, Lenders and Transferees for any incremental
Indemnified Taxes, Taxes, Other Taxes, interest, penalties or other costs (including reasonable
attorneys fees and expenses in accordance with Section 9.05) that may become payable by
the Issuing Bank, any Lender or Transferee as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this
Section 2.16, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent to or for the account of
the Issuing Bank, any Lender or Transferee shall be deemed a payment by Borrowers.
(e) Each Lender or Transferee that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than
the United States of America or any state or political subdivision thereof (each, a Foreign
Lender) shall, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender that is a party hereto
on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of any assignment, participation or
-68-
change in the designated lending office hereunder (in the case of a Transferee), execute and
deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (i) two or more (as Borrower or the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request) accurate and complete original signed and duly executed copies of
United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or W-8BEN (or successor forms or documents),
establishing that a payment to such Lender or Transferee is exempt from or entitled to a reduced
rate of withholding or deduction of Taxes or (ii) if the Lender or Transferee is not a bank
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax
treaty) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit
N (any such certificate, a Section 2.16 Certificate) and (y) two accurate and complete
original signed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to
the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lenders or Transferors
entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect
to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. Each Lender or
Transferee that is not a Foreign Lender shall, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each
Lender that is a party hereto on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of any assignment,
participation or change in the designated lending office hereunder (in the case of a Transferee),
execute and deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent two or more (as Borrower or the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request) accurate and complete original signed and duly
executed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or successor forms or
documents) if such Form W-9 is required to establish that a payment to such Lender or Transferee is
exempt from withholding or deduction of Taxes. In addition, each Lender and Transferee
shall upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such
Lender or Transferee shall, to the extent legally able to do so, promptly deliver to Borrower or
the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed and duly executed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax
treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 2.16
Certificate or Form W-9, as the case may be and such other forms as may be required in order to
confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in
United States withholding tax with respect to payments under the Loan Documents. Each Lender and
Transferee shall promptly notify Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a
position to provide any previously delivered certificate to Borrower (or any form of certification
adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose).
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.16 to the contrary, Borrowers shall not
be required to indemnify or to pay any additional amounts to the Issuing Bank or any Lender or
Transferee with respect to any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.16 to the
extent that (i) any obligation of Borrower or the Additional Borrower to withhold, deduct or pay
amounts with respect to such Indemnified Tax existed under generally accepted interpretation and
application of the law on the date the Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee became a party to
this Agreement or otherwise becomes a Transferee, except to the extent that, at the time such
Lender or Transferee becomes a party to this Agreement or otherwise becomes a Transferee, such
Persons assignor was already entitled to receive indemnification or additional amounts from a Loan
Party with respect to any such Indemnified Tax under the provisions hereunder; provided that this
clause (i) shall not apply to any Indemnified Tax imposed on a Lender
-69-
or Transferee in connection with and only to the extent relating to an interest or
participation in any Loan or other obligation that such Lender or Transferee was required to
acquire pursuant to Section 2.19; (ii) such Indemnified Taxes are imposed solely because
any Lender or Transferee fails to timely provide the forms or certificates required by the
provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph; or (iii) in the case of a payment of a U.S.
source fee (other than a fee treated as interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to a Lender
or Transferee described in clause (ii) of Section 2.16(e), to the extent that such forms or
certificates do not establish a complete exemption from U.S. withholding taxes with respect to such
payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it is understood and agreed, for the avoidance
of doubt, that the obligation of the Loan Parties to indemnify for Indemnified Taxes withheld or
deducted from any payment (including, without limitation, fees) to be made by the Loan Parties
hereunder and to pay additional amounts under this Section 2.16 shall apply with respect to
any and all Indemnified Taxes pursuant to the terms of this Agreement imposed on or with respect to
the Issuing Bank and each Lender and Transferee as a result of a change in law or regulation or a
change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction over such Person occurring after the time such Person becomes a party to this
Agreement.
(g) In the event that the Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee determines that any event
or circumstance that will lead to a claim by it under this Section 2.16 has occurred, the
Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee shall notify Borrower; provided that any failure to
provide such notice shall in no way impair the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank, any Lender or any Transferee to demand and receive compensation under this Section
2.16, except to the extent that such failure results in any penalties.
(h) If Borrower or the Additional Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section
2.16 to a Lender or Transferee and such Lender or Transferee determines in its reasonable
discretion that it has actually realized in connection therewith a refund or any reduction of, or
credit against, its Tax liabilities (a Tax Benefit), such Lender or Transferee shall promptly pay
to Borrower or the Additional Borrower, as applicable (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower or the Additional Borrower, as applicable, under this
Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such
refund) an amount that the Lender or Transferee shall reasonably determine is equal to the
after-tax net benefit obtained, if any, by the Lender or Transferee as consequence of such Tax
Benefit net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or Transferee incurred in
obtaining such Tax Benefit and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such Tax Benefit); provided, however, that (i) any Lender or
Transferee may determine, in its discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender or
Transferee, whether to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender or
Transferee as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including through the expiration of any tax
credit carryover or carryback of such Lender or Transferee that otherwise would not have expired)
of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender or Transferee has made a payment to Borrower
or the Additional Borrower, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.16(h) shall be
treated as Tax for which Borrower or the Additional Borrower, as applicable, is obligated to
indemnify such Lender or Transferee pursuant to this Section 2.16; (iii) nothing in this
Section 2.16(h) shall require the Lender or Transferee to disclose any confidential
information to any Loan Party (including, without limitation, its tax returns); and (iv)
notwithstanding anything
-70-
to the contrary, in no event will any Lender or Transferee be required to pay any amount to
Borrower or the Additional Borrower, as applicable, the payment of which would place such Lender in
a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in if the additional
amounts giving rise to such Tax Benefits had never been paid.
SECTION 2.17. Indemnity. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense
(including any loss (other than lost profit) or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any
portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount
of any Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan) as a result of any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan to an ABR
Loan or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Loan on a date other than
the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section
2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.20 or otherwise, or
any failure to borrow or convert any Eurodollar Loan after notice thereof shall have been given
hereunder, whether by reason of any failure to satisfy a condition to such Borrowing or otherwise,
then, upon the written notice (with reasonable documentation supporting such request) of such
Lender to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), Borrower shall, within ten Business
Days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable
determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice
(which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive and binding on Borrowers.
SECTION 2.18. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender (or Transferee) agrees that, upon
the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.14, 2.15 or
2.16 with respect to such Lender (or Transferee), it will, if requested by Borrower, use
commercially reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender (or
Transferee)) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the
objective of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on
terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its respective lending
offices to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided further,
that nothing in this Section 2.18 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of
Borrower or the Additional Borrower, as applicable, or the rights of any Lender (or Transferee)
pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16.
SECTION 2.19. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the
exercise of a right of bankers lien, setoff or counterclaim against Borrower (in each case to the
extent permitted hereunder), or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the
United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim
received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or
otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loans
or participations in LC Disbursements which at the time shall be due and payable as a result of
which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements which at the
time shall be due and payable shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of
such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed
simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to
such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in such Loans and
-71-
participations in LC Disbursements of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements held by each Lender shall be in the
same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all such Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements as prior to such exercise of bankers lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event;
provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to
this Section and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or
purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price
or prices or adjustments restored without interest. Borrowers expressly consent to the foregoing
arrangements and agree that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or an LC Disbursement
deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of bankers lien, setoff or
counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by Borrowers to such Lender by reason thereof
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor directly to Borrowers in the amount of such
participation.
SECTION 2.20. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. In the event
that (a) any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.14
or 2.15, or Borrower or the Additional Borrower shall be required to make additional
payments to any Lender under Section 2.16 (each, an Increased Cost Lender) or (b) any
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then, with respect to each such Defaulting Lender or Increased Cost
Lender (the Terminated Lender), Borrower or the Additional Borrower, as applicable, shall have
the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Terminated Lender and
the Administrative Agent, to replace such Terminated Lender with (x) another Lender or (y) an
assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04),
and such Terminated Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance
with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) all its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement to such other Lender or assignee; provided, however, that no
Terminated Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment unless (i) such assignment shall
not conflict with any law or any rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii)
the affected Terminated Lender shall have been paid in immediately available funds on the date of
such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by
such Terminated Lender and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans held by such
Terminated Lender and all commitment fees and other fees owed to such Terminated Lender hereunder
and all other amounts accrued for such Terminated Lenders account or owed to it hereunder
(including, without limitation, any Commitment Fees). Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a
Terminated Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any
Note (if the assigning Lenders Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and
Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Terminated Lender to execute an Assignment
and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid
and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.
SECTION 2.21. Increase in Commitments.
(a) So long as (x) no Default exists or would exist after giving effect to the making of the
Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans referred to below and
-72-
the use of proceeds there from and (y) after giving effect to the making of the Incremental Term
Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans referred to below and the use of proceeds there from,
Borrower would be in compliance with the Financial Covenants on a pro forma basis on such date and
for the most cent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered in accordance
with Section 5.01 after giving effect on a pro forma basis to any related adjustment
events, including any acquisitions or dispositions after the beginning of the relevant calculation
period but prior to or simultaneous with the borrows of such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental
Revolving Loans, then upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, Borrower may from time to
time (but only after the completion of the syndication the Commitments and Loans (within the
meaning of the Incremental Term B Fee Letter) request additional term loans (the Incremental Term
Loans and the related commitments, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments) in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $200,000,000 minus the Incremental Term B Commitment and/or
additional revolving loans (the Incremental Revolving Loans and the related commitments, the
Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$25,000,000; provided that the aggregate amount of Incremental Term Loans (including the
Incremental Term B Commitment) and Incremental Revolving Loans shall not exceed $200,000,000;
provided, further, that any such increase shall be in an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or any
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, further, that any existing Lender
approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Term Loans and related commitments or
Incremental Revolving Loans and related commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion,
to provide such loans and commitments. To the extent the existing Lenders decline to agree to
provide or do not affirmatively agree to provide within 10 Business Days of such request any
portion of an Incremental Term Loan or an Incremental Revolving Loan and the related commitments,
Borrower may seek such Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving Loan from any bank or
financial institution that would qualify as an Eligible Assignee. The Incremental Term Loans (A)
shall rank pari passu in right of payment and right of security in respect of the Collateral with
the Original Term Loans and (B) other than amortization, pricing and maturity date, shall have
substantially the same terms as the Original Term Loans existing immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the amendment creating such Incremental Term Loans; provided that (x) the
Incremental Term Loans shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the Original Term Loan
Maturity Date, and (y) the Incremental Term Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to
Maturity that is shorter than the then-remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Original
Term Loans. Any Term Lender or additional bank or financial institution electing to make available
an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (an Incremental Term Lender) shall become a Lender or make
its Incremental Term Loan Commitment available, as the case may be, under this Agreement, pursuant
to an amendment (an Incremental Facility Amendment) to this Agreement giving effect to the
modifications permitted by this Section 2.21 and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents,
executed by the Loan Parties, each Incremental Term Lender and the Administrative Agent, and to any
other documentation; in each case on terms and documentation satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the Lead Arranger. The Incremental Revolving Loans (A) shall rank pari passu in right of
payment and right of security in respect of the Collateral with the Revolving Loans and (B) other
than pricing and maturity date, shall have substantially the same terms as Revolving Loans existing
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the amendment creating such Incremental Revolving Loans;
provided that (x) the Incremental Revolving Loans shall not have a final maturity date earlier than
the applicable maturity date of the Revolving Loans and
-73-
commitments thereunder may not be terminated prior to the date that all Revolving Credit
Commitments hereunder are terminated. Any Revolving Lender or additional bank or financial
institution electing to make available an Incremental Revolving Commitment (an Incremental
Revolving Lender) shall become a Lender or make its Incremental Revolving Commitment available, as
the case may be, under this Agreement, pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment to this
Agreement giving effect to the modifications permitted by this Section 2.21 and, as
appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Loan Parties, each Incremental Revolving
Lender and the Administrative Agent, and to any other documentation, in each case on terms and
documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger. To the extent an
Incremental Facility Amendment is entered into to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments with
respect to an existing Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, then each of the Revolving Lenders of
such Class having a Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class prior to such effective date of such
Incremental Facility Amendment (the Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders of such Class and the
effective date of such Incremental Facility Amendment, the Increase Effective Date) shall assign
on the Increase Effective Date, and such Incremental Revolving Lenders of such Class shall purchase
from each Pre-Increase Revolving Lender of such Class, at the principal amount thereof, such
interests in the Revolving Loans of such Class and, if such Class is the Revolving Credit
Commitments, participation interests in LC Exposure and Swingline Loans outstanding on such
Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such
assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans of such Class and participation interests in LC
Exposure and Swingline Loans, if applicable, will be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders of such
Class and Incremental Revolving Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with their Revolving
Commitments of such Class after giving effect to such increased Revolving Commitments of such
Class. An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect
such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate,
in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21.
(b) If any Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments are
made in accordance with this Section 2.21, the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall
determine the effective date (each, an Incremental Facility Effective Date) and the final
allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the
Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Incremental Facility Effective Date. As a
condition precedent to such increase, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
certificate of Borrower dated as of the Incremental Facility Effective Date signed by a Financial
Officer of Borrower (i) certifying and attaching (A) the resolutions adopted by Borrower approving
or consenting to such increase and (B) a certificate demonstrating pro forma compliance with the
Financial Covenants as set forth in Section 2.21(a) and (ii) certifying that, before and
after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties set forth in
Article III and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects
on and as of the Incremental Facility Effective Date (unless expressly stated to relate to an
earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all
material respects as of such earlier date), and (B) no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.
(c) Borrower shall use the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving
Loans for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.
-74-
(d) This Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 9.08 to the
contrary.
(e) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this
paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits
afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the
foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the
Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the
Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by
the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC and other applicable law or otherwise
after giving effect to the establishment of any such Class of Term Loans or any such new
Commitments.

to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (c) has full power and authority and holds all
requisite governmental licenses, permits and other approvals to (i) enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party and (ii) own
or hold under lease its Property and to conduct its business substantially as currently conducted

SECTION 3.02. Due Authorization, Non-Contravention, etc. The execution, delivery and
performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a

Subsidiaries;
-75-
(b) contravene any law, statute, rule or regulation binding on or affecting any Loan

each Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a
party will, upon the due execution and delivery thereof, constitute, the legal, valid and binding

effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
enforceability of creditors rights generally and to general principles of equity.
SECTION 3.05. Financial Information.
(a) The Audited Financial Statements and Unaudited Financial Statements delivered pursuant to
Section 4.01(g), and all financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections
5.01(a) and (b), have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except (i) with respect to

Lien Loan Documents and customary liabilities in respect of expenses incurred in
-76-
connection with the Transactions, as of the Closing Date there are no material liabilities of any
the Loan Parties of any kind (including, without limitation, liabilities for taxes, or any
long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or
foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives)
required to be set forth on a balance sheet or in the notes thereto prepared in accordance with
GAAP, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise (except as
incurred in the ordinary course of business).
SECTION 3.06. No Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the latest delivered
audited financial statements (as required by Section 5.01(b)), no event or occurrence has
resulted in or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.07. Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.07, there is no
pending or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened litigation, action or proceeding
(including, without limitation, any existing or new litigation relating to the Transactions)
against Holdco, Borrowers, the Acquired Business or any of their respective Subsidiaries which
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which purports to affect the
legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the Transactions).
SECTION 3.08. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. None of the Loan Parties has
violated, is in violation of or has been given written notice of any violation of any laws (other
than Environmental Laws, which are the subject of Section 3.13), regulations or orders of
any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property or any indenture, agreement or other
instrument binding upon it or its property, except for any violations which could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.09. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.09 sets forth the name of, and the
direct or indirect ownership interest of Holdco and Borrower in, each of their respective
Subsidiaries and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Loan Party, in each case as of the Closing
Date. A majority of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Holdco are owned, directly or
indirectly, by Sponsor, and all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Borrower are
owned directly by Holdco, in each case free and clear of Liens except as created by the Security
Documents, the Second Lien Loan Documents and non-consensual Permitted Liens.
SECTION 3.10. Ownership of Properties.
(a) As of the Closing Date and as of the date of each Credit Event (subject to transfers and
dispositions of property permitted under Section 6.05), each of Holdco, Borrower and each
Subsidiary has good and valid title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, (or, in the case of
Intellectual Property, a valid license to) all of its Property material to its business (other than
irregularities or deficiencies in title which, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), in each case free and clear of all Liens
except Permitted Liens. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, the Property of Holdco, Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (i) is in
operating order, condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted) and
(ii) together with the Intellectual Property provided to Borrower pursuant to the Transition
Services
-77-
Agreement, constitutes all of the Property required for the business and operations of Holdco,
Borrower and the Subsidiaries as presently conducted.
(b) (i) As of the Closing Date, no Real Property was owned by Holdco, Borrower or the
Subsidiaries, (ii) each of Holdco, Borrower and the applicable Subsidiaries has valid and
enforceable leasehold interests in the leasehold estates in all of the real property leased by it
that is used in the operations, or the business, of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, which
leased real property is listed on Schedule 3.10(b) under the heading Leased Properties
(each, a Leased Property) and (iii) each of Holdco, Borrower and the applicable Subsidiaries has
good and valid and enforceable rights to use the other real property, including easements,
licenses, rights to access, rights-of-way and other real property interests, that are used in the
operations of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries, as listed on Schedule 3.10(b) under
the heading Other Real Property (each an Other Real Property), in each case, free and clear of
all Liens of any nature whatsoever, except (a) as to Fee Property, Permitted Encumbrances and (b)
as to Leased Property, the terms and provisions of the respective Lease therefor, including,
without limitation, any matters affecting the fee title and any estate superior to the leasehold
estate related thereto. The Fee Properties, the Leased Properties and the Other Real Property
constitute, as of the Closing Date, all of the Real Property owned in fee or leased by Holdco,
Borrower and the Subsidiaries and used or held for use by Parent Guarantor, Borrower and the
Subsidiaries. No Loan Party has received written notice of pending condemnation or similar
proceedings affecting any of the Real Property and, to each Loan Partys knowledge, no such action
is currently contemplated or threatened. No Mortgage encumbers improved Real Property that is
located in an area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an
area having special flood hazards within the meaning of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968
unless flood insurance available under such Act has been obtained in accordance with Section
5.04.
(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10(c), each of Holdco, Borrower and each
Subsidiary has complied with all obligations under all Leases to which it is a party, except where
the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and all
such Leases are in full force and effect, except those in respect of which the failure to be in
full force and effect would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except
as set forth on Schedule 3.10(c), each of Holdco, Borrower and each Subsidiary enjoys
peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such Leases, other than Leases in respect of which
the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession could not reasonably be expected to,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.11. Taxes. Each of Holdco, Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed
all federal, foreign and all other material tax returns and reports required by law to have been
filed by it, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and all such tax returns are true and
correct, except where the failure to be so true and correct could not reasonably be expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Holdco, Borrower and
each Subsidiary has duly and timely paid all taxes and governmental charges due (whether or not
shown on any tax return), except (x) any such taxes or charges which are being diligently contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP
shall have been set aside on its books and such contest of taxes or charges with
-78-
respect to Collateral satisfies the Contested Collateral Lien Conditions or (y) otherwise to the
extent that the failure to pay could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Each of Holdco, Borrower and each Subsidiary has made adequate provision in accordance with GAAP
for all taxes not yet due and payable. There is no Tax assessment, deficiency or audit pending or
proposed that could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a
Material Adverse Effect. None of Holdco, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has ever been a party
to any understanding or arrangement constituting a tax shelter within the meaning of Section
6662(d)(2)(C)(iii) of the Code or within the meaning of Section 6111(c) or Section 6111(d) of the
Code as in effect immediately prior to the enactment of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, or
has ever participated in a reportable transaction within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.6011-4, except as would not be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate,
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.12. Pension and Welfare Plans. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or give rise
to a Lien on the assets of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof. The Loan Parties,
Subsidiaries and ERISA Affiliates are in compliance in all respects with the presently applicable
provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan except for failures to so comply which
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No condition exists or event
or transaction has occurred with respect to any Plan which reasonably might result in the
incurrence by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate of any liability, fine or
penalty which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of
all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used
for purposes of statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the
most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the Fair Market Value of the
assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans by an amount that would reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect if the Pension Plans were terminated. Using actuarial assumptions and
computation methods consistent with subpart 1 of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate
liabilities of each Loan Party or ERISA Affiliate to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a
complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such
Multiemployer Plan, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None
of Holdco, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability with respect to
post-retirement benefits provided by Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries under a Welfare Plan, other
than (i) liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA
and (ii) liabilities that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.13. Environmental Warranties. As of the Closing Date and, for the purpose
of such representations and warranties as may be given subsequent to the Closing Date, except as,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect:
(a) Each of Holdco, Borrower and its Subsidiaries and each of their respective
businesses, operations, real property, facilities and assets are and in the last five years
have been in material compliance with, and Holdco, Borrower and its Subsidiaries have no
material liability under, Environmental Law.
-79-
(b) Each of Holdco, Borrower and its Subsidiaries has obtained all Environmental
Permits that are material to, and required for, the conduct of their businesses and
operations, and the ownership, operation and use of their real property, facilities and
assets, all as currently conducted under Environmental Law, all such Environmental Permits
are valid and in good standing and, under the currently effective business plans of Holdco,
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, no material expenditures or operational adjustments will be
required during the next five years in order to renew or modify such Environmental Permits.
(c) There has been no Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Material on, at, under
or from any real property or facility presently or formerly owned, leased or operated by
Holdco, Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors in interest
that could reasonably be expected to result in material liability to Holdco, Borrower or its
Subsidiaries under Environmental Law.
(d) There is no material Environmental Action pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan
Party, threatened against any of Holdco, Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or relating to the
real property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by or relating to the
operations of Holdco, Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and there are no actions, omissions,
activities, circumstances, conditions, events or incidents that could reasonably be expected
to form the basis of such an Environmental Action.
(e) (i) None of Holdco, Borrower and its Subsidiaries is obligated to perform any
material action or otherwise incur any material expense under Environmental Law pursuant to
any written order, decree, judgment or agreement by which it is bound or has assumed by
contract or agreement, and none of Holdco, Borrower and its Subsidiaries is conducting or
financing any material Response Action pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to any
location, (ii) all known Environmental Actions involving any of Holdco, Borrower and its
Subsidiaries or any of their real property, facilities, assets or operations have been
resolved without ongoing material obligations or costs and (iii) no circumstances exist that
could reasonably be expected to (A) form the basis of a material Environmental Action
against Holdco, Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the real property, facilities, assets or
operations of any of them or (B) cause any such real property, facilities, assets or
operations to be subject to any material restriction on ownership, occupancy, use or
transferability under Environmental Law.
(f) No real property or facility presently or formerly owned, or presently operated or
leased by Holdco, Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors in
interest and, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, no real property or facility formerly
operated, leased or used by Holdco, Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of their
predecessors in interest is (i) listed or proposed for listing on the National Priorities
List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA, (ii) listed on the CERCLIS or (iii) included on any
similar list maintained by any Governmental Authority including, without limitation, any
such list relating to petroleum.
-80-
(g) No Lien has been recorded or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened under
any Environmental Law with respect to any real property or other assets of Holdco, Borrower
or its Subsidiaries.
(h) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby will not affect the validity or require the transfer of
any Environmental Permit held by Holdco, Borrower or its Subsidiaries under Environmental
Law, and will not require any notification, registration, filing, reporting, disclosure,
investigation, remediation or cleanup pursuant to any Environmental Real Property Disclosure
Requirement.
(i) Holdco, Borrower and its Subsidiaries have made available to the Lead Arrangers all
material records, documents and files in the possession, custody or control of, or otherwise
reasonably available to, any of them concerning compliance with or liability under
Environmental Law.
SECTION 3.14. Regulations T, U and X. None of Holdco, Borrower or any Subsidiary is
engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for
the purpose of buying or carrying margin stock (as defined in Regulation U). No part of the
proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will be used for any purpose that entails a violation
of the provisions of the regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, Regulation U and
Regulation X.
SECTION 3.15. Disclosure; Accuracy of Information; Pro Forma Balance Sheets and Projected
Financial Statements.
(a) Neither this Agreement nor any other document, certificate or written statement, in each
case concerning any Loan Party, any Subsidiary thereof or the Acquired Business (other than general
market or economic data), furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of
any Loan Party in connection herewith contains, as of the date prepared and taken as a whole, any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the statements contained herein and therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made; provided that to the extent this or any such document, certificate or
statement was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, the Loan Parties represent only
that they acted in good faith and utilized assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable at the
time made and due care in the preparation of such document, certificate or statement, it being
understood that forecast and projections are subject to uncertainties and contingencies and no
assurance can be given that any forecast or projection will be realized.
(b) The Pro Forma Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(g) have been
prepared in good faith by the Loan Parties, based on the assumptions stated therein (which
assumptions are believed by the Loan Parties on the date hereof and on the Closing Date to be
reasonable), and present fairly in all material respects the pro forma consolidated financial
position and results of operations of Borrower as of such date and for such periods, assuming that
the Transactions had occurred at such dates, it being understood that forecasts and
-81-
projections are subject to uncertainties and contingencies and no assurance can be given that any
forecast or projection will be realized.
(c) The Projected Financial Statements were prepared in good faith based on assumptions that
are believed by Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, and all material assumptions with
respect to the Projected Financial Statements are set forth therein. The Projected Financial
Statements present a good faith estimate of the consolidated financial information contained
therein at the date thereof, it being understood that forecast and projections are subject to
uncertainties and contingencies and no assurance can be given that any forecast or projection will
be realized.
SECTION 3.16. Insurance. The properties of Holdco, Borrower and its Subsidiaries are
insured with insurance companies in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as
are deemed reasonable by Responsible Officers of Borrower and as otherwise required to be
maintained pursuant to the Security Documents. Such insurance (including the related insurance
policies) is in full force and effect, all premiums with respect thereto that are due and payable
have been duly paid and no Loan Party has received or is aware of any notice of violation or
cancellation thereof and each Loan Party has complied in all material respects with the
requirements of each such policy.
SECTION 3.17. Labor Matters. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, (a) there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Loan Parties
or their Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened, (b) the hours
worked by and payments made to employees of the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries have not been in
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign
law dealing with such matters, and (c) all payments due from the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries
on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or

occur on the Closing Date, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Loan Parties taken as a whole,
at a fair valuation on a going concern basis, will exceed their debts and liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the
Loan Parties taken as a whole will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the

interest of the Loan Parties in the Intellectual Property Collateral (as defined in the Security
Agreement) in which a security interest may be perfected by such filing, recording or registration

environmental site assessment report (which may include where appropriate testing and
sampling, inter alia, sampling of soil and groundwater) concerning such matter, prepared by
an environmental consulting firm reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent,
indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Material and the potential cost of any
Remedial Action in connection with such Hazardous Material on, at, under or emanating from
such property pursuant to Environmental Law; provided that such request may be made only
(i) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) circumstances exist that
could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Liability that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect individually or in the aggregate
with other Environmental Liabilities (in such events as are listed in this paragraph, the

Effect; provided that nothing in this Section 5.08 shall prohibit any merger or
consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 6.04 or sale or other

SECTION 5.10. Pledge of Additional Collateral.
(a) Within 45 days after the acquisition of assets of the type that would have constituted

each of Holdco and Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, take all necessary
action (if any), including the filing of appropriate financing statements under the provisions of
the UCC, applicable domestic or local laws, rules or regulations in each of the offices where such
filing is necessary or appropriate, or entering into or amending the Guarantee Agreement and the
Security Documents, to grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a
perfected First Priority Lien, subject in each case only to Permitted Liens, in such Collateral in
each case pursuant to and to the full extent required by the Security Documents and this Agreement
(including, without limitation, satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Sections 4.01(o). In the event that any Loan Party acquires any additional Real Property
having a Fair Market Value in excess of $7,500,000 as determined in good faith by Borrower (whether
or not the subject of a Mortgage or other Security Documents), Holdco or Borrower shall take such
actions and execute such documents as the Collateral Agent shall require to confirm the Lien of a
Mortgage, if applicable, or to create a new Mortgage or other Security Documents (including,
without limitation, satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 4.01(o),
-96-
(unless, with respect to any such Real Property, the Administrative Agent determines, in its
reasonable discretion, that the fees and expenses of obtaining a Mortgage with respect to such Real
Property and the other related deliveries required by this Section 5.10(a) would be
disproportionate to the benefits expected to be received by the Secured Parties). Such Mortgages
shall be granted pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and shall constitute valid and enforceable perfected
First Priority Liens subject only to Permitted Encumbrances or other Liens acceptable to the
Collateral Agent. The Mortgages or instruments related thereto shall be duly recorded or filed in
such manner and in such places as are required by law to establish, perfect, preserve and protect
the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Mortgages and all
taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith shall be paid in full. Such Loan
Party shall otherwise take such actions and execute and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent such
documents as the Collateral Agent shall require to confirm the validity, perfection and priority of
the Lien of any existing Mortgage or new Mortgage against such after-acquired Real Property
(including a Title Policy, a Survey and local counsel opinion (in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) in respect of such Mortgage). All actions taken by the
parties in connection with the pledge of Additional Collateral, including, without limitation,
reasonable costs of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, shall be for the
account of Borrower, which shall pay all sums due on demand.
(b) With respect to any Person that is or becomes a Subsidiary of a Loan Party after the
Closing Date (excluding any Unrestricted Subsidiaries), Holdco or Borrower shall, or shall cause
the relevant Loan Party to, promptly (and in any event within 30 days after such person becomes a
Subsidiary) deliver to the Collateral Agent the certificates, if any, representing all of the
Equity Interests of such Subsidiary, together with undated stock powers or other appropriate
instruments of transfer executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of the
holder(s) of such Equity Interests, and all intercompany notes owing from such Subsidiary to any
Loan Party together with instruments of transfer executed and delivered in blank by a duly
authorized officer of such Loan Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Equity Interests
required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 5.10(b) shall not
include any Equity Interests of a Foreign Subsidiary existing on the date hereof or created or
acquired after the Closing Date; provided that this exception shall not apply to Equity Interests
of any Subsidiary that is a first-tier controlled foreign corporation (as defined in Section 957(a)
of the Code) representing 65% of the total Equity Interests of all outstanding Equity Interests of
such Subsidiary.
SECTION 5.11. Further Assurances. Each of Holdco and Borrower shall, and shall cause
each of the other Loan Party to, execute any and all further documents, financing statements,
agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording
of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents and the
delivery of appropriate opinions of counsel) that are required under any applicable Requirement of
Law, or that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Requisite Lenders may reasonably
request, to grant, preserve, protect or perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents or the
validity or First Priority of any such Lien, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. The Loan
Parties shall have no obligation to perfect the Collateral Agents or Secured Parties security
interest in Intellectual Property outside of the United States. Each of Holdco and Borrower shall,
and shall cause each other Loan Party to, provide to the Collateral
-97-
Agent, from time to time upon request during the continuation of a Default, evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens
created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.
SECTION 5.12. Use of Proceeds. Borrowers covenant and agree that the proceeds of the
Original Term Loan Borrowings received on the Closing Date will be used to effect the Transaction

arising under the Transactions. Borrowers covenant and agree that the proceeds of the Incremental

general corporate purposes and as set forth in the Incremental Term B Commitment Letter and the
Incremental Term B Fee Letter.
SECTION 5.13. Payment of Taxes. Each of Holdco and Borrower shall, and shall cause
each of their respective Subsidiaries to, pay and discharge all material taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits, or upon any
Properties belonging to it, prior to the date on which material penalties attach thereto, and all
material lawful claims which, if unpaid, could reasonably be expected to become a Lien or charge
(other than (i) a Permitted Encumbrance on Mortgaged Property or (ii) a Permitted Lien on any other
Property) upon any Properties of Holdco, Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or cause
a failure or forfeiture of title thereto; provided that (x) neither Holdco nor Borrower nor any of
their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or
claim that is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings diligently conducted, which
proceedings have the effect of preventing the forfeiture or sale of the Property or asset that may
become subject to such Lien, if it has maintained adequate reserves with respect thereto in
accordance with and to the extent required under GAAP and (y) the failure to pay would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. Each of Holdco and Borrower shall, and shall cause each of their
respective Subsidiaries to, timely file or cause to be timely filed all material tax returns
required to be filed by it. Each of Holdco and Borrower does not intend to treat the Loans as
being a reportable transaction within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4. In
the event Borrower determines to take any action inconsistent with such intention, it will promptly
notify the Administrative Agent thereof.
SECTION 5.14. Interest Rate Protection. No later than the 120th day after the Closing
Date, Borrowers shall enter into, and for a minimum of 2 years thereafter maintain, Interest Rate
Agreements with terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent that result
in at least 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (other than the Incremental Term B
Loans), the Second Lien Loans and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof being effectively
subject to a fixed or maximum interest rate reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 5.15. Additional Guarantors. In the event that any direct or indirect
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiaries) of Borrower
existing on the Closing Date has not previously executed the Guarantee Agreement or in
-98-
the event that any Person becomes a direct or indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (other than a
Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiaries) of Borrower after the Closing Date, Borrower shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent of that fact and cause such Subsidiary to promptly execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent a counterpart of the Guarantee Agreement and execute and
deliver to the Collateral Agent a joinder to the Security Agreement and to take all such further
actions and execute all such further documents and instruments (including actions, documents and
certificates comparable to those described in Sections 4.01(o)) as may be necessary or, in
the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, desirable to create in favor of the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and perfected First Priority Lien on all of
the Property and assets of such Subsidiary described in, and to the extent required by, the
applicable Security Documents and Section 5.10; provided, however, Borrower shall not be
required to comply with this Section 5.15 with respect to non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary
acquired in accordance with Section 6.06(m).
SECTION 5.16. Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Borrowers Board of Directors
may, at any time, designate any Subsidiary that is acquired or created after the Closing Date as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary by prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided that Borrower
shall only be permitted to so designate a new Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date and so
long as (a) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, (b) such Subsidiary
does not own any capital stock or Indebtedness of, or own or hold a Lien on any property of,
Borrower or any other Subsidiary that is not a subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated and
(c) such Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be capitalized (to the extent capitalized by Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries) through Investments permitted by, and in compliance with, Section
6.06(m), with any assets owned by such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time of the initial
designation thereof to be treated as Investments pursuant to Section 6.06(m); provided that
at the time of the initial Investment by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary,
Borrower shall designate such entity as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in a written notice to the
Administrative Agent. The Borrower may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Subsidiary
for purposes of this Agreement (each, a Subsidiary Redesignation); provided that no Default or
Event of Default then exists or would occur as a consequence of any such Subsidiary Redesignation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subsidiary designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary that is
subsequently redesignated a Subsidiary shall be redesignated an Unrestricted Subsidiary thereafter.

and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. Each Agent shall, in the absence of actual
knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good
faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons.

Parties on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its
obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or

under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. Each Agent may execute any
and all duties hereunder by or through any of its Related Parties or any sub-agent appointed by it

other proportion of the Lenders as may be expressly required hereby).

interest in, to and under the Security Documents and the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent
thereunder whether now existing or hereafter arising (all such right, title and interest being
hereinafter referred to as the Collateral Estate) under and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Agreement; and the Collateral Agent further agrees that it will hold such Collateral Estate
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for the enforcement of the payment of all Secured
Obligations (subject to the limitations and priorities set forth herein and in the respective
Security Documents) and as security for the performance of and compliance with the covenants and
conditions of this Agreement and each of the Security Documents.
All of the powers, remedies and rights of the Collateral Agent as set forth in this Agreement
may be exercised by the Collateral Agent in respect of any Security Document as though set forth in
full therein and all of the powers, remedies and rights of the Collateral Agent as set forth in any
Security Document may be exercised from time to time as herein and therein provided.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below and subject
to the next succeeding paragraph with respect to the Collateral Agent, any Agent may resign at any
time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the
Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, subject (so long as no Default or
Event of Default is continuing) to Borrowers approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and approved by
Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives
notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing
Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank or financial institution with an office in
New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate
of any such bank or financial institution. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent
hereunder by such a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After an Agents resignation hereunder, the
provisions of this Section 8.01 and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for its
benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an
Agent.
The Collateral Agent may resign upon 30 days notice to the Lenders and Borrower. If the
Collateral Agent shall resign as the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, then the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for
the Lenders, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the
Collateral Agent, and the term Collateral Agent means such successor agent effective upon such
appointment and approval, and such former Collateral Agents rights, powers and duties as the
Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such
former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no
successor agent has accepted appointment as the Collateral Agent by
-125-
the date that is 30 days following a retiring Collateral Agents notice of resignation, the
retiring Collateral Agent shall, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor Collateral
Agent (which successor agent shall be a financial institution of nationally-recognized standing
that, in the ordinary course of business, performs functions equivalent to those of the Collateral
Agent hereunder), and the retiring Collateral Agents resignation shall become effective upon such
appointment. After any retiring Collateral Agents resignation as the Collateral Agent, the
provisions of this Section 8.01 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, each Agent in its individual capacity and not
as an Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not an Agent, and such Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdco, Borrower or any Subsidiary or other
Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own
decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender also acknowledges that the Lien
and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents and the
exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent thereunder are subject to the provisions of
the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement and the Security Documents, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and
control. The Collateral Agent is authorized to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement and
each Lender by making or purchasing an interest in any Loan at any time shall be deemed to have
agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of such agreement.
The Lenders and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent (and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are authorized to
and hereby agree):
(a) to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan
Document on any property and to return any Pledged Collateral (i) upon termination or
expiration of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations that are not then due and payable) and the expiration or
termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit which have been
collateralized in a manner set forth in Section 2.06(j)), (ii) that is sold or to be
sold as part of or in connection with any sale or disposition permitted hereunder and under
the Loan Documents, to the extent that the Lien of the Second Lien Secured Parties on such
property is released on the same terms, (iii) subject to Section 9.08, if approved,
authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders or (iv) owned by any Subsidiary
Loan Party
-126-
upon the consummation of any transaction permitted under this Agreement as a result of
which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower or is designated
an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 5.16; and
(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement if such
Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Lead Arranger nor the
Syndication Agent, in such respective capacities, shall have any obligations, duties or
responsibilities, or shall incur any liabilities, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
In the event that Citibank, N.A. or any of its Affiliates shall be or become an indenture
trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as amended, the Trust Indenture Act) in respect of
any securities issued or guaranteed by any Loan Party, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that any payment or property received in satisfaction of or in respect of any Obligation of such
Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or on behalf of Citibank, N.A. in its
capacity as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for the benefit of any Secured Party
under any Loan Document (other than Citibank N.A. or an Affiliate of Citibank, N.A.) and which is
applied in accordance with the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be exempt from the requirements of
Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 311(b)(3) of the Trust Indenture Act.

principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this

or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated.
The provisions of Sections 2.16, 9.02, 9.05 and 9.16 and
Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or
termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or
any provision hereof.
SECTION 9.03. Binding Effect. Subject to Section 4.01, this Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdco and Borrowers and the
-128-
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which,
when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted
successors and assigns.
SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.
(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall
be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party (including any Affiliate of
the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit). All covenants, promises and agreements by or
on behalf of Holdco, Borrowers, the Agents or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement
shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the
parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the
extent provided in Section 9.04(f)(iii) and, solely to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) except in the case
of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or, an Approved Fund or in connection with
the initial syndication of the Commitments and Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be
less than, in the case of the Term Loans, $1,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
and, in the case of the Revolving Loans, $5,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
(or (A) if the aggregate amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender is a lesser
amount, the entire amount of such Commitment or Loans, or (B) in any other case, such lesser amount
as Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree), (ii) each partial assignment shall be
made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders rights and obligations
under this Agreement, except that this clause (ii) shall not be construed to prohibit the
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders rights and obligations in respect
of one Class of Commitments and Loans, (iii) except in the case of the assignment to an Affiliate
of such Lender or an assignment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, the parties
to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (it being understood that only
one fee shall be required to be paid by a Lender in respect of concurrent assignments to two or
more Approved Funds), and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender, shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording
pursuant to Section 9.04(e), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution
thereof (unless otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent), (A) the assignee thereunder
shall be a party hereto (as a Lender) and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and
(B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of
-129-
the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the
remaining portion of an assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.16 and 9.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective
date of such assignment, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender
of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.04(f).
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder
and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other
parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial
owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its
Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans and participations in Swingline Loans, in
each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set
forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning
Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the
financial condition of Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by Holdco,
Borrowers or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and
warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such
assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most
recent financial statements, if any, delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without
reliance upon any Agent, the assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each
Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement
as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto; (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms
all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a
Lender; and (viii) Annex I shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the assigning Lender
thereunder and the assignee thereunder after giving effect thereto; provided that any waiver,
amendment or modification of the Intercreditor Agreement (and any related definitions) may be
effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into among the Collateral Agent (with the
consent of the Requisite Lenders) and the Second Lien Collateral Agent (without the consent of any
Loan Party, so long as such amendment, waiver or modification does not impose any additional duties
or obligations on the Loan Parties or alter or impair any right of any Loan Party under the Loan
Documents).
-130-
(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain
at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and
Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements, and
participations in Swingline Loans, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the Register). Except to the extent inconsistent with Section 2.07(d), the entries
in the Register shall be conclusive and Holdco, Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof
as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee
(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee
referred to in Section 9.04(b) above and, if required, the written consent of Borrower, the
Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent to such assignment, the
Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information
contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. No
assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
Section 9.04(e).
(f) Each Lender may without the consent of Borrowers, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank
or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or
Borrower or any of Borrowers Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a Participant) in all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lenders obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.15,
2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its
interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b) (provided that (A) no Participant shall
be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Section than the Lender would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the interest transferred and (B) in order to be entitled to the
cost protection provisions contained in Section 2.16 but subject to clause (A) of this
proviso, such Participant shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the duly
executed forms and certificates that it would be required to deliver pursuant to Section
2.16 if it were a Lender and shall otherwise comply with Section 2.16 as if it were a
Lender), and (iv) Holdco, Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations
under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right (which each Lender agrees will
not be limited by the terms of any participation agreement or other agreement with a participant)
to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of the Loan Documents (other than, without the consent of the Participant, amendments,
modifications or waivers described in Section 9.08(c) that affect such Participant).
-131-
(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or
proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the
assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to
Holdco, Borrowers and their Subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of any of the
Loan Parties; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information, each such assignee or
participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute a confidentiality agreement in form
and substance consistent with provisions of Section 9.16.
(h) Any Lender may, without the consent of Holdco, Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, at
any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such
pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that (x) no such pledge or assignment of a
security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto and (y) any foreclosure or similar
action shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.04(b) concerning assignments and
shall not be effective to transfer any rights under this Agreement or in any Loan, Note or other
instrument evidencing the rights of a Lender under this Agreement until the requirements of
Section 9.04(b) concerning assignments are fully satisfied. In order to facilitate such a
pledge or assignment, Borrowers or the Additional Borrowers shall, at the request of the assigning
Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the
Loans made to Borrowers by the assigning Lender hereunder.
(i) Holdco and Borrowers shall not assign or delegate any of their respective rights or duties
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any
attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Holdco and Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lead Arrangers,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel llp,
counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers, and local counsel, in connection with
the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or
waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or
any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this
Agreement (including its rights under this Section), the other Loan Documents or the Loans made or
Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any
workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and, in
connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of one
counsel for all of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders; provided, however, that
-132-
Holdco and Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay
for expenses incurred by a Lender in connection with the assignment of Loans to an assignee Lender (except pursuant to Section
2.20) or the sale of Loans to a Participant pursuant to Section 9.04.
(b) Each of Holdco and Borrowers, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing
Bank, each Lender, each Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons and each of their respective
Related Parties (each such Person, an Indemnitee) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless
from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by any Indemnitee
arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the
performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the
consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of
the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor
a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such
demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any
Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous
Materials on any property, or any Environmental Liability or Environmental Action related in any
way to Holdco, Borrowers or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
reasonable expenses have arisen by reason of the Indemnitees bad faith, gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
(c) To the extent that Holdco or Borrowers fail to promptly pay any amount to be paid by them
under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.05 (and without limiting their obligation so
do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender, as the case may be, such Lenders pro rata share (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (other than
syndication expenses); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
applicable Agent, the applicable Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its
capacity as such; provided further that, to the extent any indemnification of the Issuing Bank or
the Swingline Lender is required pursuant to this Section 9.05(c), such indemnification
shall be limited to Revolving Lenders only. For purposes hereof, a Lenders pro rata share shall
be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures, outstanding
Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Holdco and Borrowers shall not assert, and
hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
-133-
(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the
Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within 15 Business Days
after delivery of written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such
Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the then due
and payable obligations of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other
Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document to the extent such obligations are due and
payable. In connection with exercising its rights pursuant to the previous sentence, a Lender may
at any time use credit balances of any Loan Party with the Lender to purchase at the Lenders
applicable spot rate of exchange any other currency or currencies which the Lender considers
necessary to reduce or discharge any amount due by any Loan Party to the Lender, and may apply that
currency or those currencies in or towards payment of those amounts. The rights of each Lender
under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and any other relevant
Loan Party and the Administrative Agent upon making any such setoff.
SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN
AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED
BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment.
(a) No failure or delay of any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender or any Loan Party in
exercising any power or right hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the
Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by
any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
Section 9.08(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any
Default or Event of Default regardless of whether an Agent, any Lender
-134-
or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at
the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any
other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Subject to Sections 9.08(c) and (d), no amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or consent to any departure by any
Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the
Requisite Lenders and Borrower.
(c) Without the written consent of Borrower and each Lender that would be directly affected
thereby (whose consent shall be sufficient therefor without the consent of the Requisite Lenders),
no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof
would:
(i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note;
(ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment);
(iii) extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date;
(iv) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in
the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section 2.08(c)) or any fee
payable hereunder, it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial
definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for
purposes of this clause (iv);
(v) extend the time for payment of any such interest or fees;
(vi) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation
in respect of any Letter of Credit;
(vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 2.13(a),
Section 2.13(c), Section 2.19, Section 7.05, Section
9.08(b), this Section 9.08(c), Section 9.08(d) or Section
9.08(e) (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit
pursuant to this Agreement which affect the protections to such additional extensions of
credit consented to by the Requisite Lenders of the type provided to the Revolving Credit
Commitments and the Original Term Loans on the Closing Date and the Incremental Term B Loans
on the Incremental Term B Effective Date);
(viii) amend the definition of Requisite Lenders or Commitment Percentage;
provided, with the consent of Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant
hereto consented to by the Requisite Lenders may be included in the determination of
Requisite Lenders or Commitment Percentage on substantially the same basis as the
Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Loans, Original Term Commitments and Original Term
Loans, are included on the Closing Date;
-135-
(ix) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of
the Guarantors from the Guarantee Agreement except as expressly provided in the Loan
Documents or subordinate the Liens under any Security Document, it being understood that
additional extensions of credit under this Agreement consented to by the Requisite Lenders
may be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral with the then existing secured
obligations under the Security Documents; or
(x) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and
obligations under any Loan Document.
(d) No amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any provision
of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall:
(i) increase any Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect
without the consent of such Lender and of Borrower; provided no amendment, modification,
termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant, Default or
Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any Commitment of any Lender;
(ii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision hereof relating to the Swingline
Sublimit or the Swingline Loans without the consent of Swingline Lender and of Borrower;
(iii) amend the definition of Requisite Class Lenders without the consent of
Requisite Class Lenders of each Class and of Borrower; provided, with the consent of the
Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the
determination of such Requisite Class Lenders on substantially the same basis as the
Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Loans, Original Term Commitments and Original Term
Loans are included on the Closing Date;
(iv) alter the required application of any repayments or prepayments as between Classes
pursuant to Section 2.05 or waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment without the
consent of Requisite Class Lenders of each Class which is being allocated a lesser repayment
or prepayment as a result thereof and of Borrower; provided if additional extensions of term
credit under this Agreement consented to by the Requisite Lenders are made, such new term
loans may be included on a pro rata basis in the various prepayments required pursuant to
Section 2.05;
(v) amend, modify, terminate or waive any obligation of Lenders relating to the
issuance of or purchase of participations in Letters of Credit without the written consent
of Administrative Agent and of Issuing Bank and of Borrower;
(vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Article VIII 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 and of Borrower;
-136-
(vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Loan Document specifying
the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or
modify any rights thereunder or make any determination to grant any consent thereunder
without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may
be, and of Borrower);
(viii) amend, modify, terminate or waive the manner of application of any optional or
mandatory prepayments of Loans to the remaining amortization payments of the Term Loans
without the written consent of Term Lenders holding more than 50% of the outstanding Term
Loans and of Borrower; or
(ix) expressly amend, modify, supplement or waive any condition precedent in
Section 4.02 to any Revolving Credit Borrowing without the written consent of the
Requisite Revolving Lenders and of Borrower;
provided that any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the
rights or duties under this Agreement of the Revolving Lenders (but not the Term Lenders), or the
Term Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by Borrower and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of
Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were
the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.
(e) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any
of the provisions of this Agreement (other than as contemplated by Sections 9.08(d)(i),
(ii), (v) and (vi)), the consent of the Requisite Lenders is obtained but
the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (such
Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender), then Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the
right, so long as all Non-Consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as
described below, to transfer or assign, without recourse, all of the rights, obligations and
interests of each such Non-Consenting Lender or Lenders with respect to either this Agreement or
the Class of Loans or Commitments that is subject to the related change, waiver, discharge or
termination to one or more assignees (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in Section 9.04) approved by the Administrative Agent (and with respect to any Commitments
or Loans other than Term Commitments and Term Loans, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender),
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, so long as at the time of such transfer or
assignment, each such assignee consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination;
provided, however, that no Non-Consenting Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment
unless, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law or any rule, regulation or order of any
Governmental Authority and (y) such assignee or Borrower shall pay to the affected Non-Consenting
Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest
accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Non-Consenting Lender and participations
in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lender and all commitment fees
and other fees owed to such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such
Non-Consenting Lenders account or owed to it hereunder (including, without limitation, any
Commitment Fees). Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative
-137-
Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lenders Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to
such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to
execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding
assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if on or prior to the first anniversary of the Amendment No. 1 Effectiveness Date any
amendment lowering the Applicable Rate becomes effective, each Non-Consenting Lender to such
amendment removed pursuant to this Section 9.08 (e) shall be paid a prepayment fee equal to 1.00%
of the aggregate amount of its Loans assigned pursuant to this Section 9.08 (e).
SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges
and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the
Charges), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the Maximum Rate) which may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation
hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum
Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of
such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall
be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or
participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such
cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any
previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that any letter agreement relating to the
subject matter hereof between Borrower and one or more Agents or Lenders shall remain effective in
accordance with its terms to the extent it expressly survives the effectiveness of this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to
confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations
or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS,
-138-
AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION 9.11.
SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained
in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein
and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid
provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but
all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as
provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by
facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this
Agreement.

other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court referred to in paragraph (a) of this

such court.
-139-

[FORM OF]
First Lien Guarantee Agreement
First Lien Guarantee Agreement, dated as of November [15], 2006, by GA EBS
MERGER, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware (Borrower),
MEDIFAX-EDI HOLDING COMPANY, a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the Additional
Borrower and together with Borrower, Borrowers) EBS MASTER LLC, a limited liability company
organized under the laws of Delaware (Parent Guarantor) and each of the other entities that
becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 23 hereof (collectively, together with Parent
Guarantor, the Guarantors and each, individually, a Guarantor and each Guarantor other than
Parent Guarantor and any other Person that is the beneficial owner of all of the Equity Interests
of Borrowers and Parent Guarantor, a Subsidiary Guarantor), in favor of Citibank, N.A., as
administrative agent and collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacity, the
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent), and each other Agent, Lender, Issuing Bank and each
other holder of a Secured Obligation (as each such term is defined in the Credit Agreement referred
to below) (each, a Guarantied Party and, collectively, the Guarantied Parties).
W i t n e s s e t h:
Whereas,
pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of
November [ ], 2006
(together with all appendices, exhibits and schedules thereto and as the same may be amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Credit Agreement; capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit
Agreement) among Borrowers, Parent Guarantor and the Lenders party thereto, Citibank, N.A., as
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Issuing Bank, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Deutsche
Bank Securities Inc., as joint lead arrangers, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc. and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. as joint bookrunners, Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas as syndication agent, the Lenders and Issuing Bank have severally agreed to make
extensions of credit to Borrowers upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;
Whereas, Parent Guarantor is the sole shareholder of Borrower as of the date hereof;
Whereas, each Guarantor will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from
the making of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the granting of the other
financial accommodations to Borrowers under the Credit Agreement; and
Whereas, a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank
to make their respective extensions of credit to Borrowers under the Credit Agreement is that the
Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guarantee Agreement for the benefit of the
Guarantied Parties;
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and
conditions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Guarantee
(a) To induce the Lenders to make the Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit,
each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally
with all other Guarantors, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual
payment when due, whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory
prepayment or otherwise in accordance herewith or any other Loan Document, of all the Secured
Obligations, whether or not from time to time reduced or extinguished or hereafter increased or
incurred, whether or not recovery may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute of
limitations, whether or not enforceable against Borrowers, whether now or hereafter existing, and
whether due or to become due, including principal, interest (including interest at the contract
rate applicable upon default accrued or accruing after the commencement of any proceeding under
Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code), whether or not such interest is an
allowed claim in such proceeding), reasonable fees and costs of collection. This Guarantee
Agreement constitutes a guarantee of payment and not of collection.
(b) Each Guarantor further agrees that, if (i) any payment made by Borrowers or any other
Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside,
rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be
refunded or repaid or (ii) the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Guarantied
Party to Borrowers, or their respective estates, trustees or receivers or any other party,
including any Guarantor, under any bankruptcy law, equitable cause or any other Requirement of Law,
then, to the extent of such refund, return or repayment, any such Guarantors liability hereunder
(and any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability) shall be and remain in full force and
effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, this
Guarantee Agreement shall have been cancelled or surrendered, this Guarantee Agreement shall be
reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish,
release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Guarantor in respect of
the amount of such payment.
Section 2. Limitation of Guarantee
Any term or provision of this Guarantee Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations for which any Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be liable shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Subsidiary Guarantor
can be liable without rendering this Guarantee Agreement or any other Loan Document, as it relates
to such Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable law relating to fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable
provisions of comparable state law) (collectively, Fraudulent Transfer Laws), in each case after
giving effect (a) to all other liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, contingent or otherwise,
that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any
liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of intercompany Indebtedness to Borrowers to
the extent that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an
F-2
amount equal to the amount paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder) and (b) to the value
as assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (as determined under the applicable provisions of such
Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or
similar rights held by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable Requirements of Law,
(ii) Section 3 of this Guarantee Agreement or (iii) any other Contractual Obligations
providing for an equitable allocation among such Subsidiary Guarantor and other Subsidiaries or
Affiliates of Parent Guarantor or Borrowers of obligations arising under this Guarantee Agreement
or other guaranties of the Secured Obligations by such parties.
Section 3. Contribution
To the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay a portion of
the Secured Obligations exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the economic benefit actually
received by such Subsidiary Guarantor from the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans and (b) the
amount such Subsidiary Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Subsidiary Guarantor had paid
the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Parent
Guarantor and/or Borrowers) in the same proportion as such Subsidiary Guarantors net worth at the
date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary
Guarantors at the date enforcement is sought hereunder, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
reimbursed by such other Subsidiary Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on
the respective net worths of such other Subsidiary Guarantors at the date enforcement hereunder is
sought.
Section 4. Authorization; Other Agreements
The Guarantied Parties are hereby authorized, without notice to, or demand upon, any
Guarantor, which notice and demand requirements each are expressly waived hereby (to the extent
permitted by law), and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor
hereunder (which obligations shall remain absolute and unconditional notwithstanding any such
action or omission to act), from time to time, to do each of the following (in each case, to the
extent applicable, in accordance with the terms of the other Loan Documents):
(a) supplement, renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of,
or other terms relating to, the Secured Obligations, or any part of them, or otherwise
modify, amend or change the terms of any Loan Document, any Hedging Agreement or any other
document relating to the Secured Obligations, in each case now or hereafter executed by
Borrowers and delivered to the Guarantied Parties or any of them, including any increase or
decrease of principal or the rate of interest thereon;
(b) waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with any provision of any instrument
evidencing the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, or any other instrument or
agreement in respect of the Secured Obligations (including the other Loan Documents) now or
hereafter executed by Borrowers and delivered to the Guarantied Parties or any of them;
(c) accept partial payments on the Secured Obligations;
F-3
(d) receive, take and hold additional security or collateral for the payment of the
Secured Obligations or any part of them and exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate,
terminate, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, transfer, otherwise alter and release any
such additional security or collateral;
(e) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Secured Obligations
or accept, substitute, release, exchange or otherwise alter, affect or impair any security
or collateral for the Secured Obligations or any part of them or any other guarantee
therefor, in any manner;
(f) add, release or substitute any one or more other guarantors, makers or endorsers of
the Secured Obligations or any part of them and otherwise deal with Borrowers or any other
guarantor, maker or endorser;
(g) apply to the Secured Obligations any payment or recovery (x) from Borrowers, or any
other guarantor, maker or endorser of the Secured Obligations or any part of them or
(y) from any Guarantor in such order as provided herein, in each case whether such Secured
Obligations are secured or unsecured or guaranteed or not guaranteed by others;
(h) apply to the Secured Obligations any payment or recovery from any Guarantor of the
Secured Obligations or any sum realized from security furnished by such Guarantor upon its
indebtedness or obligations to the Guarantied Parties or any of them, in each case whether
or not such indebtedness or obligations relate to the Secured Obligations; and
(i) refund at any time any payment received by any Guarantied Party in respect of any
Secured Obligation, and payment to such Guarantied Party of the amount so refunded shall be
fully guaranteed hereby even though prior thereto this Guarantee Agreement shall have been
cancelled or surrendered, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish,
release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder in
respect of the amount so refunded;
even if any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor is
extinguished, affected or impaired by any of the foregoing (including any election of remedies by
reason of any judicial, non-judicial or other proceeding in respect of the Secured Obligations that
impairs any subrogation, reimbursement or other right of such Guarantor).
Section 5. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional
To the extent allowed under applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives any defense (other
than payment in full) of a surety or guarantor or any other obligor on any obligations arising in
connection with or in respect of any of the following and hereby agrees that its obligations under
this Guarantee Agreement are absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged or otherwise
affected as a result of any of the following:
F-4
(a) the invalidity or unenforceability of any of Parent Guarantors or Borrowers
obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or
instrument relating thereto or any Loan Partys obligations in respect of the Secured
Obligations, or any security for, or other guarantee of the Secured Obligations or any part
of them, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any
security for the Secured Obligations or any part of them;
(b) the absence of any attempt to collect the Secured Obligations or any part of them
from Borrowers or any Guarantor or other action to enforce the same;
(c) failure by any Guarantied Party to take any steps to perfect and maintain any Lien

(f) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion
of any Guarantied Partys claim (or claims) for repayment of the Secured Obligations;

(h) any agreement or stipulation as to the provision of adequate protection in any
bankruptcy proceeding;
(i) the avoidance of any Lien in favor of the Guarantied Parties or any of them for any
reason;
(j) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt,

or interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding;
(k) failure by any Guarantied Party to file or enforce a claim against Borrowers or its

(m) any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default by any Guarantied
Party to proceed separately against the personal property Collateral in accordance with such
Guarantied Partys rights under the UCC or, if the Collateral consists of both
F-5
personal and real property, to proceed against such personal and real property in
accordance with such Guarantied Partys rights with respect to such real property; or
(n) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor or any other obligor on any obligations, other
than the payment in full of the Secured Obligations.
Section 6. Waivers
To the extent allowed under applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
promptness, presentment, demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest,
notice of acceptance and any other notice in respect of the Secured Obligations or any part of
them, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrowers. Each
Guarantor shall not, until the Secured Obligations are paid in full, assert any claim or
counterclaim it may have against Borrowers or set off any of its obligations to Borrowers or any
other Guarantor against any obligations of Borrowers or any other Guarantor to it. In connection
with the foregoing, each Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged
until the Secured Obligations are paid in full.
Section 7. Reliance
Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial
condition of Borrowers and any endorser and other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured
Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Secured
Obligations, or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby
agrees that no Guarantied Party shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to
it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Guarantied Party, in its
sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any
Guarantor, such Guarantied Party shall be under no obligation (a) to undertake any investigation
not a part of its regular business routine, (b) to disclose any information that such Guarantied
Party, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to
maintain confidential or (c) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any
other information to any Guarantor.
Section 8. Non-Enforcement of Subrogation and Contribution Rights
Until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, the Guarantors shall not enforce or
otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of the Guarantied Parties or any
part of them against any Loan Party or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right
against any Loan Party by reason of this Agreement or by any payment made by any Guarantor in
respect of the Secured Obligations.
Section 9. Subordination
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any Indebtedness of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to
Section 6.01(d) (the Guarantor Subordinated Debt) shall be subordinated to such Loan Partys
Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing
F-6
such Indebtedness and that, except as permitted under Section 6.16 of the Credit
Agreement, the Guarantor Subordinated Debt shall not be paid in whole or in part until the Secured
Obligations have been paid in full and this Guarantee Agreement is terminated and of no further
force or effect. No Guarantor shall accept any payment of or on account of any Guarantor
Subordinated Debt at any time in contravention of the foregoing. Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, the Loan Parties shall at Administrative Agents direction
pay to the Administrative Agent any payment of all or any part of the Guarantor Subordinated Debt
and any amount so paid to the Administrative Agent shall be applied to payment of the Secured
Obligations in the order of priority set forth in Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement, as though
the Administrative Agent were the Collateral Agent. Each payment on the Guarantor Subordinated
Debt received in violation of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by
such Guarantor as trustee for the Guarantied Parties and shall be paid over to the Administrative
Agent immediately on account of the Secured Obligations, but without otherwise affecting in any
manner such Guarantors liability hereof. Each Guarantor agrees to file all claims against any
Loan Party in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law
in respect of any Guarantor Subordinated Debt, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
all of such Guarantors rights thereunder. If for any reason a Guarantor fails to file such claim
at least five Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such
Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact and is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Guarantors name to
file such claim or, in the Administrative Agents discretion, to assign such claim to and cause
proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee. In all such
cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the Person or Persons authorized to pay
such claim shall pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the
proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Guarantor hereby assigns to
the Administrative Agent all of such Guarantors rights to any payments or distributions to which
such Guarantor otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than such Guarantors
liability hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay the excess amount to the party
entitled thereto. In addition, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent
as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all of such Guarantors voting rights as a Creditor in
connection with any bankruptcy proceeding or any plan for the reorganization of any other Loan
Party.
Section 10. Default; Remedies
The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured
Obligations. Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent
may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Guarantor to
collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Secured Obligations then due, without
first proceeding against Borrowers or any other guarantor of the Secured Obligations, or against
any Collateral under the Loan Documents or joining Borrowers or any other such guarantor in any
proceeding against any Guarantor. At any time after maturity of the Secured Obligations, the
Administrative Agent may (unless the Secured Obligations have been paid in full), without notice to
any Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any Collateral for the payment hereof,
appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Secured Obligations (a) any indebtedness due or to
become due from any Guarantied Party to such Guarantor and
F-7
(b) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to such Guarantor at any time held by or
coming into the possession of any Guarantied Party or any of its respective Affiliates.
Section 11. Irrevocability
This Guarantee Agreement shall be irrevocable as to the Secured Obligations (or any part
thereof) until the Commitments have been terminated and all Secured Obligations then outstanding
have been paid in full, at which time this Guarantee Agreement shall automatically terminate and be
cancelled. Upon such termination or cancellation and at the written request of any Guarantor or
its successors or assigns, and at the cost and expense of such Guarantor or its successors or
assigns, the Administrative Agent shall execute in a timely manner a satisfaction of this Guarantee
Agreement and such instruments, documents or agreements as are necessary or desirable to evidence
the termination of this Guarantee Agreement.
Section 12. Setoff
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Guarantied Party and each
Affiliate of a Guarantied Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time during such
Event of Default, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness
at any time owing by such Guarantied Party or Affiliate of a Guarantied Party to or for the credit
or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all the due and payable obligations of any
Guarantor now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents held by
such Guarantied Party or Affiliate of a Guarantied Party, irrespective of whether or not such
Guarantied Party or Affiliate of a Guarantied Party shall have made any demand under the Credit
Agreement or such other Loan Document to the extent such obligations are due and payable. The
rights of each Guarantied Party under this Section 12 are in addition to the other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Guarantied Party may have.
Section 13. No Marshalling
Each Guarantor consents and agrees that no Guarantied Party or Person acting for or on behalf
of any Guarantied Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any
Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations.
Section 14. Enforcement; Amendments; Waivers
No delay on the part of any Guarantied Party in the exercise of any right or remedy arising
under this Guarantee Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise with
respect to all or any part of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral or any other guarantee of or
security for all or any part of the Secured Obligations shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no
single or partial exercise by any such Person of any such right or remedy shall preclude any
further exercise thereof. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guarantee Agreement
shall be binding upon any Guarantor or Guarantied Party, except as expressly set forth in a writing
duly signed and delivered by the party making such modification or waiver. Failure by any
Guarantied Party at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by
F-8
Borrowers, any Guarantor, any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or
any other Person of any provision, warranty, term or condition contained in any Loan Document now
or at any time hereafter executed by any such Persons and delivered to any Guarantied Party shall
not waive, affect or diminish any right of any Guarantied Party at any time or times hereafter to
demand strict performance thereof and such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act
or knowledge of any Guarantied Party, or its respective agents, officers or employees, unless such
waiver is contained in an instrument in writing, directed and delivered to Borrowers and/or such
Guarantor, as applicable, specifying such waiver, and is executed by the party or parties necessary
to give such waiver under the Credit Agreement. No waiver of any Event of Default by any
Guarantied Party shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or the same Event of
Default or on a future occasion, and no action by any Guarantied Party permitted hereunder shall in
any way affect or impair any Guarantied Partys rights and remedies or the obligations of any
Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement. Any final, non-appealable determination by a court of
competent jurisdiction of the amount of any principal or interest owing by Borrowers to a
Guarantied Party shall be conclusive and binding on each Guarantor irrespective of whether such
Guarantor was a party to the suit or action in which such determination was made.
Section 15. Successors and Assigns
This Guarantee Agreement shall be binding upon each Guarantor and upon the successors and
assigns of such Guarantors and shall inure to the benefit of the Guarantied Parties and their
respective successors and assigns (in accordance with the Credit Agreement); all references herein
to Borrowers and to the Guarantors (in each case, singly or collectively) shall be deemed to
include their respective successors and assigns. The successors and assigns of the Guarantors and
Borrowers shall include, without limitation, their respective receivers, trustees and
debtors-in-possession. All references to the singular shall be deemed to include the plural where
the context so requires.
Section 16. Representations and Warranties; Covenants
Each Guarantor hereby (a) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties as
to such Guarantor made by the Parent Guarantor and Borrowers in Article III of the Credit
Agreement are true and correct on each date as required by Section 4.02(b) of the Credit
Agreement and (b) agrees to take, or refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action necessary
to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by
the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Guarantor.
Section 17. Governing Law
This Guarantee Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be
governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
Section 18. Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process
(a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the
F-9
United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof,
in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard
and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.
Each Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided
by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents against each Guarantor or
their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

character shall be made by or on behalf of the Payor or any other Person on its behalf with

Solvency Certificate
To the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to
below:
I, the undersigned, the Treasurer of Emdeon Business Services LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the Borrower), in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity
(and without personal liability), do hereby certify as of the date hereof, and based upon facts and
circumstances as they exist as of the date hereof (and disclaiming any responsibility for changes
in such fact and circumstances after the date hereof), that:
1. This certificate is furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to
Section 3(a)(iv) of Amendment No. 3, dated as of October 1, 2010, among Borrower, MediFAX-EDI
Holding Company (the Additional Borrower and together with the Borrower, the
Borrowers), EBS Master LLC (Holdco), the Lenders party thereto and Citibank
N.A., (Citibank) as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, and Issuing Bank, which
amends the First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of November 16, 2006 (as amended by Amendment No.
1, dated March 9, 2007, and Amendment No. 2, dated July 7, 2009) (the Credit Agreement),
among the Borrower, the Additional Borrower, Holdco, Citibank and the other parties thereto from
time to time. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this certificate shall
have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.
2. For purposes of this certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions:
|
(a) |
|
Fair Value |
|
|
|
|
The amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their
entirety, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole would change
hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially
reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant
facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act. |
|
|
(b) |
|
Present Fair Salable Value |
|
|
|
|
The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an
independent willing buyer if the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole are sold with reasonable promptness in an arms-length
transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business
enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated. |
|
|
(c) |
|
Stated Liabilities |
|
|
|
|
The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be
recorded in accordance with GAAP) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of
the Chamberlin Acquisition (including the execution and delivery of the
Incremental Term B Amendment, the making of the Incremental Term B Loans and
the use of proceeds of such Incremental Term B Loans on the date hereof),
determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. |
|
(d) |
|
Identified Contingent Liabilities |
|
|
|
|
The maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result from
pending litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guaranties, uninsured
risks and other contingent liabilities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole after giving effect to the Chamberlin Acquisition
(including the execution and delivery of the Incremental Term B Amendment,
the making of the Incremental Term B Loans and the use of proceeds of such
Incremental Term B Loans on the date hereof) (including all fees and
expenses related thereto but exclusive of such contingent liabilities to the
extent reflected in Stated Liabilities), as identified and explained in
terms of their nature and estimated magnitude by responsible officers of the
Borrower. |
|
|
(e) |
|
Will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent
Liabilities as they mature |
|
|
|
|
For the period from the date hereof through the Final Maturity Date, the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will have sufficient assets
and cash flow to pay their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified
Contingent Liabilities as those liabilities mature or (in the case of
contingent liabilities) otherwise become payable. |
|
|
(f) |
|
Do not have Unreasonably Small Capital |
|
|
|
|
For the period from the date hereof through the Final Maturity Date, the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole after consummation of the
Chamberlin Acquisition (including the execution and delivery of the
Incremental Term B Amendment, the making of the Incremental Term B Loans and
the use of proceeds of such Incremental Term B Loans on the date hereof) is
a going concern and has sufficient capital to ensure that it will continue
to be a going concern for such period. |
3. For purposes of this certificate, I, or officers of the Borrower under my direction and
supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below.
|
(a) |
|
I have reviewed the financial statements (including the pro
forma financial statements) delivered to the Administrative Agent and each
Lender pursuant to Section 5.01(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement. |
|
|
(b) |
|
I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the
Credit Agreement and the Incremental Term B Amendment. |
|
|
(c) |
|
As treasurer of the Borrower, I am familiar with the financial
condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. |
4. Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of the Borrower that
after giving effect to the consummation of the Chamberlin Acquisition (including the execution and
delivery of the Incremental Term B Amendment, the making of the Incremental Term B Loans and the
use of proceeds of such Incremental Term B Loans on the date hereof), it is my opinion that (i) the
Fair Value and Present Fair Salable Value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole exceed their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities; (ii) the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole do not have Unreasonably Small Capital; and (iii) the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified
Contingent Liabilities as they mature.
* * *
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has caused this certificate to be executed on its behalf by
its Treasurer this day of October, 2010.
