Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

To each of the Banks signatory hereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, Federal Signal Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), refers to the Credit Agreement dated as of June 6, 2003, as amended and currently in effect (the “Existing Agreement”) among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto, the Banks party thereto, and the Agent (as hereinafter defined), pursuant to which you agreed to make available a revolving credit for loans and letters of credit (the “Revolving Credit”) as described therein. Each of you is hereinafter referred to individually as a “Bank,” all of you are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Banks,” and Harris N.A. in its capacity as agent for the Banks hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the “Agent.” The Borrower requests you to amend the Existing Agreement to, among other things, extend the Termination Date, to make certain further amendments to the Existing Agreement and, for the sake of convenience and clarity, to restate the Existing Agreement as so amended in its entirety. Accordingly, upon your acceptance hereof in the space provided for that purpose below and upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to effectiveness hereinafter set forth, the Existing Agreement and all of the Exhibits thereto shall be amended and as so amended shall be restated in their entirety to read as follows:

Section 1. The Revolving Credit.

Section 1.1. The Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Bank, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a loan or loans (individually a “Revolving Loan” and collectively “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time on a revolving basis in U.S. Dollars up to the amount of its revolving credit commitment set forth on the applicable signature page hereof or pursuant to Section 1.9 or 13.12 hereof (its “Commitment” and, cumulatively for all the Banks, the “Commitments”), subject to any reductions thereof pursuant to the terms hereof, before the Termination Date. The sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and L/C Obligations at any time outstanding shall not exceed the Commitments in effect at such time. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made ratably from the Banks in proportion to their respective Percentages. As provided in Section 1.4(a) hereof, the Borrower may elect that each Borrowing of Revolving Loans be either Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. Revolving Loans may be repaid and the principal amount thereof reborrowed before the Termination Date, subject to all the terms and conditions hereof.

Section 1.2. Applicable Interest Rates. (a) Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan made or maintained by a Bank shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced, continued or created

by conversion from a Eurodollar Loan until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable on the last day of its Interest Period and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

“Base Rate” means for any day the greater of:

(i) the rate of interest announced by the Agent from time to time as its prime commercial rate, or equivalent, as in effect on such day, with any change in the Base Rate resulting from a change in said prime commercial rate to be effective as of the date of the relevant change in said prime commercial rate; or

(ii) the sum of (x) the rate determined by the Agent to be the prevailing rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point) at approximately 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (or as soon thereafter as is practicable) on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) for the purchase at face value of overnight Federal funds in an amount comparable to the principal amount owed to the Agent for which such rate is being determined, plus (y) 1/2 of 1% (0.50%).

(b) Eurodollar Loans. Each Eurodollar Loan made or maintained by a Bank shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced, continued, or created by conversion from a Base Rate Loan until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus Adjusted LIBOR applicable for such Interest Period, payable on the last day of the Interest Period and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, if the applicable Interest Period is longer than three months, on each day occurring every three months after the commencement of such Interest Period.

“Adjusted LIBOR” means a rate per annum determined by the Agent pursuant to the following formula:


	Adjusted LIBOR =		LIBOR

			100%-Reserve Percentage

“Reserve Percentage” means, for the purpose of computing Adjusted LIBOR, the maximum rate of all reserve requirements (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental or other special reserves) imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) under Regulation D on Eurocurrency liabilities (as such term is defined in Regulation D) for the applicable Interest Period as of the first day of such Interest Period, but subject to any amendments to such reserve requirement by such Board or its successor, and taking into account any transitional adjustments thereto becoming effective during such Interest Period. For purposes of this definition, LIBOR Portions shall be deemed to be Eurocurrency liabilities as defined in Regulation D without benefit of or credit for prorations, exemptions or offsets under Regulation D.

-2-

“LIBOR” means, for an Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, (a) the LIBOR Index Rate for such Interest Period, if such rate is available, and (b) if the LIBOR Index Rate cannot be determined, the arithmetic average of the rate of interest per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to nearest 1/100 of 1%) at which deposits in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds are offered to the Agent at 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) two (2) Business Days before the beginning of such Interest Period by major banks in the interbank eurodollar market for a period equal to such Interest Period and in an amount equal or comparable to the principal amount of such LIBOR Portion which is scheduled to be made by the Agent as part of such Borrowing. Each determination of LIBOR made by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

“LIBOR Index Rate” means, for any Interest Period, the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point) for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a period equal to such Interest Period, which appears on the Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) on the day two (2) Business Days before the commencement of such Interest Period.

“Telerate Page 3750” means the display designated as “Page 3750” on the Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace Page 3750 on that service or such other service as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association as the information vendor for the purpose of displaying British Bankers’ Association Interest Settlement Rates for U.S. Dollar deposits).

“Eurodollar Reserve Percentage” means, for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the daily average for the applicable Interest Period of the maximum rate, expressed as a decimal, at which reserves (including, without limitation, any supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves) are imposed during such Interest Period by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) on “Eurodollar liabilities”, as defined in such Board’s Regulation D (or in respect of any other category of liabilities that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets that include loans by non-United States offices of any Bank to United States residents), subject to any amendments of such reserve requirement by such Board or its successor, taking into account any transitional adjustments thereto. For purposes of this definition, the Eurodollar Loans shall be deemed to be “eurodollar liabilities” as defined in Regulation D without benefit or credit for any prorations, exemptions or offsets under Regulation D.

(c) Rate Determinations. The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations hereunder, and a reasonable determination thereof by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of manifest error or willful misconduct.

Section 1.3. Minimum Borrowing Amount . Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000. Each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000.

-3-

Section 1.4. Manner of Borrowing and Designating Interest Rates. (a) Notice to the Agent. The Borrower shall give notice to the Agent by no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (i) at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which the Borrower requests the Banks to advance a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) on the date the Borrower requests the Banks to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified in such notice of a new Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to Section 1.3’s minimum amount requirement for each outstanding Borrowing, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by the Borrower or convert all or part of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans and (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, the Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by the Borrower. The Borrower shall give all such notices requesting the advance, continuation, or conversion of a Borrowing to the Agent by telephone or telecopy (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing). Notices of the continuation of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans or of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans must be given by no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All such notices concerning the advance, continuation, or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued, or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower agrees that the Agent may rely on any such telephonic or telecopy notice given by any person it in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation, and in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if the Agent has acted in reliance thereon.

(b) Notice to the Banks. The Agent shall give prompt telephonic or telecopy notice to each Bank of any notice from the Borrower received pursuant to Section 1.4(a) above. The Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Bank by like means of the interest rate applicable to each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans.

(c) Borrower’s Failure to Notify. Any outstanding Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall, subject to Section 7.2 hereof, automatically be continued for an additional Interest Period on the last day of its then current Interest Period unless the Borrower has notified the Agent within the period required by Section 1.4(a) that the Borrower intends to convert such Borrowing into a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or notifies the Agent within the period required by Section 2.3(a) that it intends to prepay such Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 1.4(a) above of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 1.4(a) and has not notified the Agent within the period

-4-

required by Section 2.3(a) that it intends to prepay such Borrowing, such Borrowing shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, subject to Section 7.2 hereof. In the event the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 1.4(a) above of a Borrowing equal to the amount of a Reimbursement Obligation and has not notified the Agent by 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the day such Reimbursement Obligation becomes due that it intends to repay such Reimbursement Obligation through funds not borrowed under this Agreement, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans on such day in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then due, which Borrowing shall be applied to pay the Reimbursement Obligation then due.

(d) Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, and not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, subject to Section 7 hereof, each Bank shall make available its Loan comprising part of such Borrowing in funds immediately available at the principal office of the Agent in Chicago, Illinois. The Agent shall make available to the Borrower Loans at the Agent’s principal office in Chicago, Illinois.

(e) Agent Reliance on Bank Funding. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Bank before the date on which such Bank is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Bank does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such payment when due and the Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Bank and, if any Bank has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, such Bank shall, on demand, pay to the Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Bank together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Bank pays such amount to the Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If such amount is not received from such Bank by the Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Bank with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, but without such payment being considered a payment or prepayment of a Loan under Section 2.4 hereof, so that the Borrower will have no liability under such Section with respect to such payment.

Section 1.5. Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.2 hereof, while any Event of Default exists or (unless and until rescinded by the Required Banks) after acceleration, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and letter of credit fees (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed or, if based on the Base Rate or with respect to Reimbursement Obligations, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed), at a rate per annum equal to:

-5-

(a) for any Base Rate Loan or any Swing Loan bearing interest based on the Base Rate, the sum of two percent (2%) plus the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;

(b) for any Eurodollar Loan or any Swing Loan bearing interest at the Agent’s Quoted Rate, the sum of two percent (2%) plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of two percent (2%) plus the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;

(d) for any Letter of Credit, the sum of 2.0% plus the letter of credit fee due under Section 3.4 with respect to such Letter of Credit;

provided, however, that in the absence of acceleration or any other Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.1(a) hereof, any adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be made at the election of the Required Banks with written notice to the Borrower. While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, interest shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Banks.

Section 1.6. Notes for Loans. (a) The Revolving Loans made to the Borrower by a Bank shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower issued to such Bank in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto. Each such promissory note is hereinafter referred to as a “Revolving Note” and collectively such promissory notes are referred to as the “Revolving Notes.”

(b) The Swing Loans made to the Borrower by the Agent shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower issued to the Agent in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto. Such promissory note is hereinafter referred to as the “Swing Note.”

(c) Each Bank shall record on its books and records or on a schedule to its appropriate Note the amount of each Loan advanced, continued, or converted by it, all payments of principal and interest and the principal balance from time to time outstanding thereon, the type of such Loan, and, for any Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan, the Interest Period and the interest rate applicable thereto. The record thereof, whether shown on such books and records of a Bank or on a schedule to any Note, shall be prima facie evidence as to all such matters; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to record any of the foregoing or any error in any such record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans made to it hereunder together with accrued interest thereon. At the request of any Bank and upon such Bank tendering to the Borrower the Note to be replaced, the Borrower shall furnish a new Note to such Bank to replace any outstanding Note, and at such time the first notation appearing on a schedule on the reverse side of, or attached to, such Note shall set forth the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans, if any, then outstanding thereon.

-6-

Section 1.7. Swing Loans. (a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the revolving credit facility, the Agent agrees to make loans to the Borrower under the Swing Line (individually a “Swing Loan” and collectively the “Swing Loans”) which shall not in the aggregate at any time outstanding exceed the Swing Line Sublimit. The Swing Loans may be availed of the Borrower from time to time and borrowings thereunder may be repaid and used again during the period ending on the Termination Date; provided that each Swing Loan must be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each Swing Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000.

(b) Interest on Swing Loans. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to (i) the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans as from time to time in effect (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed) or (ii) the Agent’s Quoted Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed). Interest on each Swing Loan shall be due and payable prior to such maturity on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto.

(c) Requests for Swing Loans. The Borrower shall give the Agent prior notice (which may be written or oral) no later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) on the date upon which the Borrower requests that any Swing Loan be made, of the amount and date of such Swing Loan, and the Interest Period requested therefor. Within 30 minutes after receiving such notice, the Agent shall in its discretion quote an interest rate to the Borrower at which the Agent would be willing to make such Swing Loan available to the Borrower for the Interest Period so requested (the rate so quoted for a given Interest Period being herein referred to as “Agent’s Quoted Rate”). The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the interest rate quote is given for immediate and irrevocable acceptance. If the Borrower does not so immediately accept the Agent’s Quoted Rate for the full amount requested by the Borrower for such Swing Loan, the Agent’s Quoted Rate shall be deemed immediately withdrawn and such Swing Loan shall bear interest at the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate as from time to time in effect. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the proceeds of such Swing Loan shall be made available to the Borrower on the date so requested at the offices of the Agent in Chicago, Illinois. Anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding (i) the obligation of the Agent to make Swing Loans shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (ii) the Agent shall not be obligated to make more than one Swing Loan during any one day.

(d) Refunding Loans. In its sole and absolute discretion, the Agent may at any time, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to act on its behalf for such purpose) and with notice to the Borrower, request each Bank to make a Revolving Loan in the form of a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Bank’s Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(f) or 9.1(g) exists with respect to the Borrower, regardless of the existence of any other Event of Default, each Bank shall make the proceeds of its requested Revolving Loan available to the Agent, in immediately available funds, at the Agent’s principal office in Chicago, Illinois, before 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) on the Business Day following the day such notice is given. The proceeds of such Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the outstanding Swing Loans.

-7-

(e) Participations. If any Bank refuses or otherwise fails to make a Revolving Loan when requested by the Agent pursuant to Section 1.7(d) above (because an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(f) or 9.1(g) exists with respect to the Borrower or otherwise), such Bank will, by the time and in the manner such Revolving Loan was to have been funded to the Agent, purchase from the Agent an undivided participating interest in the outstanding Swing Loans in an amount equal to its Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans. Each Bank that so purchases a participation in a Swing Loan shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Percentage of each payment of principal received on the Swing Loan and of interest received thereon accruing from the date such Bank funded to the Agent its participation in such Loan. The several obligations of the Banks under this Section shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Bank may have or have had against the Borrower, any other Bank or any other Person whatever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of the Commitment of any Bank, and each payment made by a Bank under this Section shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

Section 1.8. Letters of Credit. (a) General Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the credit facility offered hereunder, the L/C Issuer shall issue standby and commercial letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of Borrower or for the account of the Borrower and one or more of its Subsidiaries as joint and several co-applicants in an aggregate undrawn face amount up to the L/C Sublimit. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued by the L/C Issuer, but each Bank shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer for such Bank’s Percentage of the amount of each drawing thereunder and, accordingly, each Letter of Credit shall constitute usage of the Commitment of each Bank pro rata in an amount equal to its Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding. Upon the Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall, without any further action by any party, be deemed to have been issued as a Letter of Credit hereunder for all purposes hereof.

(b) Applications. At any time before the Termination Date, the L/C Issuer shall, at the request of the Borrower, issue one or more Letters of Credit in U.S. Dollars, in a form satisfactory to the L/C Issuer, with expiration dates no later than 12 months after the Termination Date (or which are cancelable not later than 12 months after the Termination Date and each renewal), in an aggregate face amount as set forth above, upon the receipt of an application duly executed by the Borrower and, if such Letter of Credit is also for the account of one of its Subsidiaries, such Subsidiary, for the relevant Letter of Credit in the form then customarily prescribed by the L/C Issuer for the Letter of Credit requested (each an “Application”). No later than the date which is ten days prior to the Termination Date, Borrower will cash collateralize any Letter of Credit with an expiration date later than the Termination Date in an amount equal to the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, such cash collateral to be held by Agent as provided in Section 9.6(b) hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained in any Application to the contrary: (i) the Borrower shall pay fees in connection with each Letter of Credit as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof, (ii) before the occurrence of an Event of Default, the L/C Issuer will not call for the funding by the Borrower of any amount under a Letter of Credit before being presented with a drawing thereunder, and (iii) if the L/C Issuer is not timely reimbursed for the amount of

-8-

any drawing under a Letter of Credit on the date such drawing is paid, the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of such drawing shall bear interest (which the Borrower hereby promises to pay) from and after the date such drawing is paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed). If the L/C Issuer issues any Letter of Credit with an expiration date that is automatically extended unless the L/C Issuer gives notice that the expiration date will not so extend beyond its then scheduled expiration date, unless (x) all of the Banks (in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) below) or (y) the Required Banks (in the case of clause (iii) below) instruct the L/C Issuer otherwise, the L/C Issuer will give such notice of non-renewal before the time necessary to prevent such automatic extension if before such required notice date: (i) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit if so extended would be after the Termination Date, (ii) the Commitments have been terminated, or (iii) a Default or an Event of Default exists and the Agent, at the request or with the consent of the Required Banks, has given the L/C Issuer instructions not to so permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit. The L/C Issuer agrees to issue amendments to the Letter(s) of Credit increasing the amount, or extending the expiration date, thereof at the request of the Borrower subject to the conditions of Section 7 hereof and the other terms of this Section 1.8.

(c) The Reimbursement Obligations. Subject to Section 1.8(b) hereof, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for all drawings under a Letter of Credit (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) shall be governed by the Application related to such Letter of Credit, except that reimbursement shall be made by no later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) on the date when each drawing is to be paid if the Borrower has been informed of such drawing by the L/C Issuer on or before 11:30 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date when such drawing is to be paid or, if notice of such drawing is given to the Borrower after 11:30 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date when such drawing is to be paid, by the end of such day, in immediately available funds at the Agent’s principal office in Chicago, Illinois or such other office as the Agent may designate in writing to the Borrower (who shall thereafter cause to be distributed to the L/C Issuer such amount(s) in like funds). If the Borrower does not make any such reimbursement payment on the date due and the Participating Banks fund their participations therein in the manner set forth in Section 1.8(d) below, then all payments thereafter received by the Agent in discharge of any of the relevant Reimbursement Obligations shall be distributed in accordance with Section 1.8(d) below.

(d) The Participating Interests. Each Bank (other than the Bank acting as L/C Issuer in issuing the relevant Letter of Credit), by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to purchase from the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer hereby agrees to sell to each such Bank (a “Participating Bank”), an undivided percentage participating interest (a “Participating Interest”), to the extent of its Percentage, in each Letter of Credit issued by, and each Reimbursement Obligation owed to, the L/C Issuer. Upon any failure by the Borrower to pay any Reimbursement Obligation at the time required on the date the related drawing is to be paid, as set forth in Section 1.8(c) above, or if the L/C Issuer is required at any time to return to the Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any portion of any payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, each Participating Bank shall, not later than the Business Day it receives a certificate in the form of Exhibit E hereto from the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) to such effect, if

-9-

such certificate is received before 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time), or not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) the following Business Day, if such certificate is received after such time, pay to the Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer an amount equal to such Participating Bank’s Percentage of such unpaid or recaptured Reimbursement Obligation together with interest on such amount accrued from the date the related payment was made by the L/C Issuer to the date of such payment by such Participating Bank at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related payment was made by the L/C Issuer to the date 2 Business Days after payment by such Participating Bank is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date 2 Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Participating Bank to the date such payment is made by such Participating Bank, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. Each such Participating Bank shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Percentage of each payment received in respect of the relevant Reimbursement Obligation and of interest paid thereon, with the L/C Issuer retaining its Percentage thereof as a Bank hereunder. The several obligations of the Participating Banks to the L/C Issuer under this Section 1.8 shall be absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Participating Bank may have or have had against the Borrower, the L/C Issuer, the Agent, any Bank or any other Person whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of any Commitment of any Bank, and each payment by a Participating Bank under this Section 1.8 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Indemnification. The Participating Banks shall, to the extent of their respective Percentages, indemnify the L/C Issuer (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that the L/C Issuer may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it. The obligations of the Participating Banks under this Section 1.8(e) and all other parts of this Section 1.8 shall survive termination of this Agreement and of all Applications, Letters of Credit, and all drafts and other documents presented in connection with drawings thereunder.

(f) Manner of Requesting a Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall provide at least five (5) Business Days’ advance written notice to the Agent of each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice in each case to be accompanied by an Application for such Letter of Credit properly completed and executed by the Borrower and, in the case of an extension or an increase in the amount of a Letter of Credit, a written request therefor, in a form acceptable to the Agent and the L/C Issuer, in each case, together with the fees called for by this Agreement. The Agent shall promptly notify the L/C Issuer of the Agent’s receipt of each such notice and the L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Agent and the Banks of the issuance of the Letter of Credit so requested.

Section 1.9. Increase of Commitments. (a) At any time prior to the Termination Date, the Borrower may request (in consultation with the Agent) that the Commitments be increased, provided, that (a) the Commitments shall at no time exceed $125,000,000; (b) the Borrower shall not previously have reduced the Commitments; and (c) the Borrower shall not be entitled to

-10-

make such request more than 2 times during the term of this Agreement. Such request shall be made in a written notice given to the Agent and the Banks by the Borrower not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such increase, which notice (a “Commitment Increase Notice”) shall specify the amount of the proposed increase in the Commitments and the proposed effective date of such increase. The proposed increase in the Commitments shall be in an amount (i) not more than $25,000,000 with respect to the aggregate amount of all such increases and (ii) not less than $10,000,000 with respect to any one such increase. No Bank shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment pursuant to a Commitment Increase Notice. On or prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Commitment Increase Notice, each Bank shall submit to the Agent a notice indicating the maximum amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment in connection with such Commitment Increase Notice (any such notice to the Agent being herein a “Bank Increase Notice”). Any Bank which does not submit a Bank Increase Notice to the Agent prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to have denied any increase in its Commitment. In the event that the increases of Commitments set forth in the Bank Increase Notices exceed the amount requested by the Borrower in the Commitment Increase Notice, the Borrower shall have the right, in consultation with the Agent, to allocate the amount of increases necessary to meet the Borrower’s Commitment Increase Notice. In the event that the Bank Increase Notices are less than the amount requested by the Borrower, not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date the Borrower may notify the Agent of any financial institution that shall have agreed to become a “Bank” party hereto (a “Proposed New Bank”) in connection with the Commitment Increase Notice. Any Proposed New Bank shall be subject to the consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Borrower shall not have arranged any Proposed New Bank(s) to commit to the shortfall from the Bank Increase Notices, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have reduced the amount of its Commitment Increase Notice to the aggregate amount set forth in the Bank Increase Notices. Based upon the Bank Increase Notices, any allocations made in connection therewith and any notice regarding any Proposed New Bank, if applicable, the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Banks on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed effective date of the amount of each Bank’s and Proposed New Banks’ Commitment (the “Effective Commitment Amount”) and the amount of the Commitments, which amount shall be effective on the following Business Day. Any increase in the Commitments shall be subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) the Borrower shall have obtained the consent thereto of any guarantor of the Obligations and its reaffirmation of the Credit Document(s), if any, executed by it, which consent and reaffirmation shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, (ii) as of the date of the Commitment Increase Notice and as of the proposed effective date of the increase in the Commitments, all representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as though made on such date and no event shall have occurred and then be continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default, (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and each Proposed New Bank or Bank that shall have agreed to provide a Commitment in support of such increase in the Commitments shall have executed and delivered a Commitment and Acceptance (“Commitment and Acceptance”) substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, and (iv) the Borrower and the Proposed New Bank shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as may be required hereunder or that the Agent shall have requested in connection with such increase. In the event any provision of a Commitment and Acceptance shall be inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall

-11-

govern. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to any increase in the Commitments, the Agent shall promptly advise the Borrower and each Bank of the effective date of such increase. Upon the effective date of any increase in the Commitments that is provided by a Proposed New Bank, such Proposed New Bank shall be a party to this Agreement as a Bank and shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Bank to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time.

(b) For purposes of this Section 1.9(b), (i) the term “Buying Bank(s)” shall mean (A) each Bank the Effective Commitment Amount of which is greater than its Commitment prior to the effective date of any increase in the Commitment, and (B) each Proposed New Bank that is allocated an Effective Commitment Amount in connection with any Commitment Increase Notice, and (ii) the term “Selling Bank(s)” shall mean each Bank whose Commitment is not being increased from that in effect prior to such increase in the Commitment. Effective on the effective date of any increase in the Commitments pursuant to Section 1.9(a) above, each Selling Bank hereby sells, grants, assigns and conveys to each Buying Bank, without recourse, warranty, or representation of any kind, except as specifically provided herein, an undivided percentage in such Selling Bank’s right, title and interest in and to its outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations in the respective amount and percentages necessary so that, from and after such sale, each such Selling Bank’s outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations shall equal such Selling Bank’s Percentage (calculated based upon the Effective Commitment Amounts) of the outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations. Effective on the effective date of the increase in the Commitment pursuant to Section 1.9(a) above, each Buying Bank hereby purchases and accepts such grant, assignment and conveyance from the Selling Bank(s). Each Buying Bank hereby agrees that its respective purchase price for the portion of the outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations purchased hereby shall equal the respective amount necessary so that, from and after such payments, each Buying Bank’s outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations shall equal such Buying Bank’s Percentage (calculated based upon the Effective Commitment Amounts) of the aggregate outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations. Such amount shall be payable on the effective date of the increase in the Commitments by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent. The Agent, in turn, shall wire transfer any such funds received to the Selling Banks, in same day funds, for the sole account of the Selling Banks. Each Selling Bank hereby represents and warrants to each Buying Bank that such Selling Bank owns the Loans being sold and assigned hereby for its own account and has not sold, transferred or encumbered any or all of its interest in such Loans and L/C Obligations, except for participations which will be extinguished upon payment to Selling Bank of an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding Loans being sold by such Selling Bank. Each Buying Bank hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except for each Selling Bank’s representations and warranties contained in the foregoing sentence, each such Buying Bank has entered into its Commitment and Acceptance with respect to such increase on the basis of its own independent investigation and has not relied upon, and will not rely upon, any explicit or implicit written or oral representation, warranty or other statement of the Banks or the Agent concerning the authorization, execution, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. The Borrower hereby agrees to compensate each Selling Bank for all losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by each Bank in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurodollar Loan hereunder on the terms and in the manner as set forth in Section 2.4 hereof.

The term “Interest Period” means the period commencing on the date a Borrowing of Loans is advanced, continued, or created by conversion and ending: (a) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the last day of the calendar month in which such Borrowing is advanced, continued, or created by conversion (or on the last day of the following month if such Loan is advanced, continued or created by conversion on the last day of a calendar month), (b) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, 1, 2, 3, or 6 months thereafter, provided that the initial Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans hereunder may be for an Interest Period of less than one month if agreed upon by all the Banks, and (c) in the case of a Swing Loan, on the date 1 to 7 days thereafter as mutually agreed to by the Borrower and the Agent; provided, however, that:

(b) for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Swing Loans, the Borrower may not select an Interest Period that extends beyond the Termination Date;

(c) whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, provided that, if such extension would cause the last day of an Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans to occur in the following calendar month, the last day of such Interest Period shall be the immediately preceding Business Day; and

(d) for purposes of determining an Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, a month means a period starting on one day in a calendar month and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month; provided, however, that if there is no numerically corresponding day in the month in which such an Interest Period is to end or if such an Interest Period begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month, then such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such Interest Period is to end.

Section 2.2. Maturity of Loans. Each Loan shall mature and become due and payable by the Borrower on the Termination Date.

Section 2.3. Prepayments. (a) Optional.

-13-

Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, notice delivered to the Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date of prepayment, such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and Swing Loans, any compensation required by Section 2.4 hereof. The Agent will promptly advise each Bank of any such prepayment notice it receives from the Borrower. Any amount paid or prepaid before the Termination Date may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be borrowed, repaid and borrowed again.

(b) Mandatory. (i) If, within 30 days after receiving notice under Section 8.6(c) of a Change of Control Event, the Required Banks notify the Borrower that they require prepayment of the Notes, on the date set forth in such notice (which date shall be no earlier than (x) thirty (30) days (or in the event of a Change of Control Event described in clause (i) of the definition of such term, ninety (90) days) after such notice is given or (y) the day on which the Borrower, in connection with or as a result of such Change of Control Event, repays any other Indebtedness aggregating $10,000,000 or more before its original scheduled due date, whichever day is earlier), the Borrower shall pay in full all Obligations then outstanding and cash collateralize all L/C Obligations and the Commitments shall terminate in full.

(ii) The Borrower shall, on any date the Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, prepay the Loans by the amount, if any, necessary to reduce the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding to the amount to which the Commitments have been so reduced.

If any Bank shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Bank, but in any event excluding any loss of profit) as a result of:

(a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period,

(b) any failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Section 7 or otherwise) by the Borrower to borrow or continue a Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan, or to convert a Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan, on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 1.4(a) or Section 1.7 or established pursuant to Section 1.4(c) hereof,

(c) any failure by the Borrower to make any payment of principal on any Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), or

(d) any acceleration of the maturity of a Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder,

-14-

then, upon the demand of such Bank, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such amount as will reimburse such Bank for such loss, cost or expense. If any Bank makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Agent, a certificate executed by an officer of such Bank setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) and the amounts shown on such certificate if reasonably calculated shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

Section 2.5. Commitment Terminations. (a) Voluntary. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent, to terminate the Commitments without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, any partial termination to be (i) in an amount not less than $5,000,000, and (ii) allocated ratably among the Banks in proportion to their respective Percentages, provided that the Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of all Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding. Any termination of the Commitments below the L/C Sublimit then in effect shall reduce the L/C Sublimit by a like amount. The Agent shall give prompt notice to each Bank of any such termination of Commitments. Any termination of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) may not be reinstated.

(b) Mandatory. Prior to the effective date of any Qualified Securitization Transaction, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of the maximum amount of Securitization Transaction Attributed Indebtedness which may be incurred pursuant to the legal documentation governing such Qualified Securitization Transaction, and the Agent shall promptly notify the Banks of such amount. On the effective date of any Qualified Securitization Transaction, the Commitments shall automatically, without the giving of any notice or the taking of any other action by the Borrower or any other Person, ratably terminate by an amount equal to the maximum amount of Securitization Transaction Attributed Indebtedness which may be incurred pursuant to the legal documentation governing such Qualified Securitization Transaction. Any termination of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) may be reinstated with the approval of all Banks.

For the period from the Effective Date to and including the Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Banks in accordance with their Percentages a commitment fee at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the average daily Unused Commitments. Such commitment fee is payable in arrears on March 31, 2006, on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter and on the Termination Date, unless the Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the fee for the period to but not including the date of such termination shall be paid in whole on the date of such termination.

In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the L/C Issuer for its own account the L/C Issuer’s standard issuance, drawing, negotiation, amendment, assignment, and other administrative fees for each Letter of Credit as established by the L/C Issuer from time to time.

(b) To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, the business and operations of the Borrower and each Subsidiary comply in all respects with all applicable Environmental and Health Laws, except where the failure to so comply would not (individually or in the aggregate) have a material adverse effect on the Property, business or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 6.11 (as amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof), neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received any written notice, citation, order, complaint, claim or demand from any governmental entity or in connection with any court proceeding which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Property, business or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole claiming that: (i) the Borrower or any Subsidiary has violated, or is about to violate, any Environmental and Health Law; (ii) there has been a release, or there is a threat of release, into the environment of Hazardous Materials from the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s Property; (iii) the Borrower or any Subsidiary may be or is liable, in whole or in part, for the costs of cleaning up, remediating or responding to a release of Hazardous Materials; or (iv) any of the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s Property are subject to a Lien in favor of any governmental entity for any liability, costs or damages, under any Environmental and Health Law arising from, or costs incurred by such governmental entity in response to, a release of Hazardous Materials.

Section 6.15. Solvency of Guarantors.

(b) Each financial statement furnished to the Agent pursuant to subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section 8.6 shall be accompanied by (A) a written certificate signed by the Borrower’s chief financial officer, corporate controller or treasurer to the effect that no Default or Event of Default has occurred during the period covered by such statements or, if any such Default or Event of Default has occurred during such period, setting forth a description of such Default or Event of Default and specifying the action, if any, taken by the Borrower to remedy the same; and (B) a Compliance Certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto showing the Borrower’s compliance with the covenants set forth in Sections 8.14, 8.15, 8.16, 8.17 and 8.20 hereof (it being agreed that the relevant defined terms contained in this Agreement shall be used to determine compliance with Section 8.14, Section 8.15 and Section 8.16 of this Agreement as of December 31, 2005).

(1) any Subsidiary of the Borrower may merge or consolidate with or into or sell, lease or otherwise convey all or a substantial part of its assets to the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary of which the Borrower holds at least the same percentage equity ownership; provided that (x) in any such merger or consolidation involving the Borrower, the Borrower shall be the surviving or continuing corporation, and (y) at the time of any such transaction, and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(2) any Subsidiary of the Borrower may consolidate or merge with any other Person (including the Borrower); provided that (x) in the case of such a transaction involving the Borrower, the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation or in any other case, if the surviving corporation is a Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower, and (y) at the time of such consolidation or merger, and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

Section 10. Change in Circumstances.

Section 10.1. Change of Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any Note, if at any time after the date hereof any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof makes it unlawful for any Bank to make or continue to maintain Eurodollar Loans or to perform its obligations as contemplated hereby, such Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and such Bank’s obligations to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans under this Agreement shall terminate until it is no longer unlawful for such Bank to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans. To the extent required by such change, the Borrower shall prepay

-51-

on demand the outstanding principal amount of any such affected Eurodollar Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to such Loan; provided, however, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may then elect to borrow the principal amount of the affected Eurodollar Loans from such Bank by means of Base Rate Loans from such Bank, which Base Rate Loans shall not be made ratably by the Banks but only from such affected Bank and provided, further that the Borrower shall have no obligation under Section 2.4 with respect to any such prepayment.

Section 10.2. Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain, or Inadequacy of, Adjusted LIBOR. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans:

(a) the Agent determines that deposits in U.S. Dollars are not being offered to it in the eurodollar interbank market for such Interest Period, or that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted LIBOR, or

(b) Banks having 25% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitment reasonably determine and so advise the Agent that Adjusted LIBOR as reasonably determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks or Bank of funding their or its Eurodollar Loans or Loan for such Interest Period, then the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks or of the relevant Bank to make Eurodollar Loans so affected shall be suspended.

Section 10.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law but, if not having the force of law, compliance with which is customary in the relevant jurisdiction) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i) shall subject any Bank (or its Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Eurodollar Loans, its Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, or its participation in any thereof, any Reimbursement Obligation owed to it or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, issue a Letter of Credit, or to participate therein, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank (or its Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its Eurodollar Loans, Letter(s) of Credit, or participations therein or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Eurodollar Loans, Letter(s) of Credit, any participation therein, any Reimbursement Obligation owed to it, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or issue a Letter of Credit, or acquire participations therein (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income or profits of such Bank or its Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Bank or its lending

-52-

office is incorporated, or in which such Bank’s principal executive office or Lending Office is located); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Loans any such requirement included in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its Eurodollar Loans, its Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, or its participation in any thereof, any Reimbursement Obligation owed to it, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or to issue a Letter of Credit, or to participate therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, issuing or maintaining a Letter of Credit, or participating therein, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction; provided, however, that such Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of an event which might cause it to seek compensation, and the Borrower shall be obligated to pay only such compensation which is incurred or which arises after the date ninety (90) days prior to the date such notice is given. In the event any law, rule, regulation or interpretation described above is revoked, declared invalid or inapplicable or is otherwise rescinded, and as a result thereof a Bank is determined to be entitled to a refund from the applicable authority for any amount or amounts which were paid or reimbursed by Borrower to such Bank hereunder, such Bank shall refund such amount or amounts to Borrower without interest.

(b) If any Bank or the Agent shall have determined that the adoption, after the date hereof, of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein (including, without limitation, any revision in the Final Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR Part 208, Appendix A; 12 CFR Part 225, Appendix A) or of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (12 CFR Part 3, Appendix A), or in any other applicable capital rules heretofore adopted and issued by any governmental authority), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law but, if not having the force of law, compliance with which is customary in the applicable jurisdiction) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s capital, or on the capital of any corporation controlling such Bank, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material,

-53-

then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction; provided, however, that such Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of an event which might cause it to seek compensation, and the Borrower shall be obligated to pay only such compensation which is incurred or which arises after the date ninety (90) days prior to the date such notice is given.

(c) Each Bank that determines to seek compensation under this Section 10.3 shall notify the Borrower and the Agent of the circumstances that entitle the Bank to such compensation pursuant to this Section 10.3 and will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 10.3 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 10.4. Lending Offices. Each Bank may, at its option, elect to make its Loans hereunder at the branch, office or affiliate specified on the appropriate signature page hereof (each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to the Borrower and the Agent.

Section 10.5. Discretion of Bank as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if each Bank had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of deposits in the eurodollar interbank market having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period.

Section 11. The Agent.

Section 11.1. Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Bank hereby appoints Harris N.A. as the Agent under the Credit Documents and hereby authorizes the Agent to take such action as Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including without limitation the power to execute and deliver an acknowledgement page to the Intercreditor Agreement binding each such Bank with respect to the provisions thereof to the same effect as if such Bank had itself executed and delivered such acknowledgement page.

Section 11.2. Agent and its Affiliates. The Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Agent, and the Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Agent under the Credit

-54-

Documents. The term “Bank” as used herein and in all other Credit Documents, unless the context otherwise clearly requires, includes the Agent in its individual capacity as a Bank. References in Section 1 hereof to the Agent’s Loans, or to the amount owing to the Agent for which an interest rate is being determined, refer to the Agent in its individual capacity as a Bank.

Section 11.3. Action by Agent. If the Agent receives from the Borrower or a Bank a written notice of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.6(c)(i) hereof, the Agent shall promptly give each of the Banks written notice thereof. The Banks expressly agree that the Agent is not acting as a fiduciary of the Banks in respect of the Credit Documents, the Company or otherwise, and nothing herein or in any of the other Credit Documents shall result in any duties or obligations on the Agent or any of the Banks except as expressly set forth herein. The obligations of the Agent under the Credit Documents are only those expressly set forth therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in Sections 9.2 and 9.4. In no event, however, shall the Agent be required to take any action in violation of applicable law or of any provision of any Credit Document, and the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Credit Document unless it shall be first indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Banks against any and all costs, expense, and liability which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default exists unless notified to the contrary by a Bank or the Borrower. In all cases in which this Agreement and the other Credit Documents do not require the Agent to take certain actions, the Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action hereunder and thereunder.

Section 11.4. Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 11.5. Liability of Agent; Credit Decision. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Credit Documents (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Credit Event; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any Guarantor contained herein or in any other Credit Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Section 7 hereof, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, perfection, value, worth or collectibility hereof or of any other Credit Document or of any other documents or writing furnished in connection with any Credit Document; and the Agent makes no representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matter mentioned in this sentence. The Agent may execute any of its duties under any of the Credit Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Banks, the Borrower, or any Guarantor or

-55-

any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care. The Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, other document or statement (whether written or oral) believed by it to be genuine or to be sent by the proper party or parties. In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Agent shall have no responsibility for confirming the accuracy of any Compliance Certificate or other document or instrument received by it under the Credit Documents. The Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with the Agent signed by such payee in form satisfactory to the Agent. Each Bank acknowledges that it has independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Bank, and based upon such information, investigations and inquiries as it deems appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to extend credit to the Borrower in the manner set forth in the Credit Documents. It shall be the responsibility of each Bank to keep itself informed as to the creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Guarantors, and the Agent shall have no liability to any Bank with respect thereto.

Section 11.6. Indemnity. The Banks shall ratably, in accordance with their respective Percentages, indemnify and hold the Agent, and its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by it under any Credit Document or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by the Borrower and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified. The obligations of the Banks under this Section 11.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.7. Resignation of Agent and Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation of the Agent, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent with the consent of the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Bank hereunder or any commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring or removed Agent under the Credit Documents, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations thereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 and all protective provisions of the other Credit Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.

Section 11.8. Designation of Additional Agents. The Agent shall have the continuing right, for purposes hereof, at any time and from time to time to designate one or more of the Banks (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “arrangers” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have not substantive effect, and such Banks and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof.

-56-

Section 11.9. Hedging Liability. By virtue of a Bank’s execution of this Agreement or an assignment agreement pursuant to Section 13.12 hereof, as the case may be, any Affiliate of such Bank with whom the Borrower or any Subsidiary has entered into an agreement creating Hedging Liability shall be deemed a Bank party hereto for purposes of any reference herein to the parties for whom the Agent is acting, it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of such Affiliate hereunder consist exclusively of such Affiliate’s right to share in payments and collections out of the Subsidiary Guaranties. In connection with any such distribution of such payments and collections, the Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due to any Bank or its Affiliate with respect to Hedging Liability unless such Bank has notified the Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it or its Affiliate prior to such distribution.

Section 11.10. L/C Issuer. The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Banks with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith. The L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agent in this Section 11 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the Applications pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent”, as used in this Section 11, included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to such L/C Issuer.

Section 12. The Guarantees.

Section 12.1. The Guarantees. To induce the Banks to provide the credits described herein and in consideration of benefits expected to accrue to each Guarantor by reason of the Commitments and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally to the Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Banks and each other holder of an Obligation or of Hedging Liability, (i) the due and punctual payment of all present and future indebtedness of the Borrower evidenced by or arising out of the Credit Documents, including, but not limited to, the due and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, the Reimbursement Obligations, and the due and punctual payment of all other Obligations now or hereafter owed by the Borrower under the Credit Documents, and (ii) the due and punctual payment of all present and future Hedging Liability, as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms hereof and thereof. In case of failure by the Borrower punctually to pay any indebtedness or other Obligations or Hedging Liability guaranteed hereby, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally agrees jointly and severally to make such payment or to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Borrower.

Section 12.2. Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor as a guarantor under this Section 12 shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

-57-

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Borrower or of any other Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or by operation of law or otherwise;

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(c) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting, the Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any of their respective assets, or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or of any other Guarantor contained in any Credit Document;

(d) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any time against the Agent, any Bank or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection herewith;

(e) any failure to assert, or any assertion of, any claim or demand or any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights or remedies against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or Property;

(f) any application of any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any obligation of the Borrower, regardless of what obligations of the Borrower remain unpaid;

(g) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for any reason of this Agreement or of any other Credit Document or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any other Guarantor of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by it under the Credit Documents; or

(h) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Agent, any Bank or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 12.

Section 12.3. Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. Each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 12 shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments are terminated and the principal of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement and all other Credit Documents and, if then outstanding and unpaid, all Hedging Liability, shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or of a Guarantor, or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 12 with respect to such payment shall

-58-

be reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time.

Section 12.4. Waivers. (a) General. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by the Agent, any Bank or any other Person against the Borrower, another Guarantor or any other Person.

(b) Subrogation and Contribution. Unless and until the Obligations and Hedging Liability have been fully paid and satisfied and the Commitments have terminated, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other right it may now or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other Guarantor that arises from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 12 or any other Credit Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Agent, any Bank or any other holder of an Obligation or Hedging Liability against the Borrower or any other Guarantor whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower or any other Guarantor directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other right.

Section 12.5. Limit on Recovery. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right to recovery of the holders of the Obligations against each Guarantor under this Section 12 shall not exceed $1.00 less than the amount which would render such Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 12 void or voidable under applicable law, including without limitation fraudulent conveyance law.

Section 12.6. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or with respect to any Hedging Liability is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or under any agreement establishing Hedging Liability shall nonetheless be payable jointly and severally by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Agent made at the request of the Required Banks.

Section 12.7. Benefit to Guarantors. The Borrower and all of the Guarantors are engaged in related businesses and integrated to such an extent that the financial strength and flexibility of the Borrower and each Guarantor has a direct impact on the success of each other Guarantor. Each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extension of credit hereunder.

Section 12.8. Guarantor Covenants. Each Guarantor shall take such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to cause such Guarantor to take, and shall refrain from taking such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to prohibit such Guarantor from taking.

-59-

Section 13. Miscellaneous.

Section 13.1. Withholding Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Withholding. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to Section 13.1(b) hereof, each payment by the Borrower and each Guarantor under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes (other than overall net income taxes on the recipient) imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which the Borrower or such Guarantor is domiciled, any jurisdiction from which the Borrower or such Guarantor makes any payment, or (in each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. If any such withholding is so required, the Borrower or relevant Guarantor shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Bank and the Agent free and clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount which that Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) would have received had such withholding not been made. If the Agent or any Bank pays any amount in respect of any such taxes, penalties or interest the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent or that Bank for that payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was made. If the Borrower or any Guarantor pays any such taxes, penalties or interest, it shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing that payment or certified copies thereof to the Bank or Agent on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the Agent if not the recipient of the original) on or before the thirtieth day after payment. If any Bank or the Agent determines it has received or been granted a credit against or relief or remission for, or repayment of, any taxes paid or payable by it because of any taxes, penalties or interest paid by the Borrower or any Guarantor and evidenced by such a tax receipt, such Bank or Agent shall, to the extent it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment, pay to the Borrower or such Guarantor as applicable, such amount as such Bank or Agent determines is attributable to such deduction or withholding and which will leave such Bank or Agent (after such payment) in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the Borrower had not been required to make such deduction or withholding. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with the right of each Bank and the Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Bank or the Agent to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in connection with such taxes.

(b) U.S. Withholding Tax Exemptions. Each Bank that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Non-U.S. Person”) shall submit to the Borrower and the Agent on or before the earlier of the date the initial Borrowing is made hereunder and thirty (30) days after the date hereof, two duly completed and signed copies of either Form W-8 BEN (relating to such Bank and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding under the Code on all amounts to be received by such Bank, including fees, pursuant to the Credit Documents and the Loans) or Form W-8 ECI (relating to all amounts to be received by such Bank, including fees, pursuant to the Credit Documents and the Loans) of the United States Internal Revenue Service or, in the case of any Bank exempt from United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8 or any successor applicable form (a “Form W-8”) together with a statement under penalty of perjury that such Bank is not a “bank” under Section 881(c)(3) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each Bank shall submit to the Borrower and the Agent such additional duly completed and

-60-

signed copies of one or the other of such Forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may be (i) requested by the Borrower in a written notice, directly or through the Agent, to such Bank and (ii) required under then-current United States law or regulations to avoid or reduce United States withholding taxes on payments in respect of all amounts to be received by such Bank, including fees, pursuant to the Credit Documents or the Loans. Each Bank that is a Non-U.S. Person and that is a party hereto as of the Closing Date hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Closing Date, payments made to it hereunder are exempt from the withholding of United States Federal income taxes (i) because such payments are effectively connected with a United States trade or business conducted by such Non-U.S. Person; (ii) pursuant to the terms of an income tax treaty between the United States and such Non-U.S. Person’s country of residence; or (iii) because such payments are portfolio interest exempt pursuant to Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code.

(c) Inability of Bank to Submit Forms. If any Bank determines, as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or interpretation thereof, that it is unable to submit to the Borrower or Agent any form or certificate that such Bank is obligated to submit pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 13.1. or that such Bank is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted or any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and Agent of such fact and the Bank shall to that extent not be obligated to provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable.

(d) Exception. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 13.1(a) above to the contrary, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any taxes or to indemnify any Bank for such taxes pursuant to this Section 13.1 to the extent that such taxes result from (i) the failure of any Bank to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 13.1(b) or (ii) any representation made on Form W-8 BEN , W-8 ECI or W-8 or successor applicable form or certification by any Bank incurring such taxes proving to have been incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect when so made or deemed to be made.

Section 13.2. No Waiver of Rights. No delay or failure on the part of the Agent or any Bank or on the part of the holder or holders of any Note in the exercise of any power or right under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other power or right, and the rights and remedies hereunder of the Agent, the Banks and the holder or holders of any Notes are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.

Section 13.3. Non-Business Day. If any payment of principal or interest on any Loan or of any other Obligation shall fall due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest or fees (as applicable) at the rate, if any, such Loan or other Obligation bears for the period prior to maturity shall continue to accrue on such Obligation from the stated due date thereof to and including the next succeeding Business Day, on which the same shall be payable.

-61-

Section 13.4. Documentary Taxes. The Borrower agrees that it will pay any documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable in respect to any Credit Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed, irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder.

Section 13.5. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in certificates given pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder.

Section 13.6. Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and all other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Banks of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Banks with respect to the Loans, including, but not limited to, Section 2.4, Section 10.3 and Section 13.15 hereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the payment of the Loans and all other Obligations.

Section 13.7. Sharing of Set-Off. Each Bank agrees with each other Bank a party hereto that if such Bank shall receive and retain any payment, whether by set-off or application of deposit balances or otherwise (“Set-off”), on any of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in excess of its ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then outstanding to the Banks, then such Bank shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Banks such amount of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, or participations therein, held by each such other Banks (or interest therein) as shall be necessary to cause such Bank to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Banks; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Bank, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, the related purchases from the other Banks shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. For purposes of this Section, amounts owed to or recovered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Reimbursement Obligations in which Banks have been required to fund their participation shall be treated as amounts owed to or recovered by the L/C Issuer as a Bank hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, each Bank acknowledges its obligations to share payments received from the Guarantors pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

-62-

Section 13.8. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices under the Credit Documents shall be in writing (including telecopy or other electronic communication) and shall be given to a party hereunder at its address or telecopier number set forth below or such other address or telecopier number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the Agent and the Borrower, given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt. Notices under the Credit Documents to the Banks and the Agent shall be addressed to their respective addresses, telecopier or telephone numbers set forth on the signature pages hereof, and to the Borrower and the Guarantors to:

Federal Signal Corporation
1415 West 22nd Street
Oak Brook, Illinois 60523-9945
Attn: Treasurer
Telecopy: (630) ###-###-####
Telephone: (630) ###-###-####

cc: General Counsel (at same address)

Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopier, when such telecopy is transmitted to the telecopier number specified in this Section 13.8 or on the signature pages hereof and a confirmation of receipt of such telecopy has been received by the sender, (ii) if given by courier, when delivered, (iii) if given by mail, three business days after such communication is deposited in the mail, registered with return receipt requested, addressed as aforesaid or (iv) if given by any other means, when delivered at the addresses specified in this Section 13.8 or on the signature pages hereof; provided that any notice given pursuant to Section 1 hereof shall be effective only upon receipt.

Section 13.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterpart signature pages, and by the different parties on different counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 13.10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of each of the Banks and the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of any Note. The Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations under any Credit Document without the written consent of all of the Banks.

Section 13.11. Participants and Note Assignees. Each Bank shall have the right at its own cost to grant participations (to be evidenced by one or more agreements or certificates of participation) in the Loans made and Reimbursement Obligations and/or Commitments held by such Bank at any time and from time to time, and to assign its rights under such Loans and Reimbursement Obligations or the Notes evidencing such Loans, to one or more other banks, insurance companies, commercial lenders and other financial institutions; provided that no such participation or assignment shall relieve any Bank of any of its obligations under this Agreement,

-63-

and provided further that no such assignee or participant shall have any rights under this Agreement except as provided in this Section 13.11, and the Agent shall have no obligation or responsibility to such participant or assignee, except that nothing herein provided is intended to affect the rights of an assignee of a Note to enforce the Note assigned. Any party to which such a participation or assignment has been granted shall have the benefits of Section 2.4 and Section 10.3 hereof but shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under either such Section than the Bank granting such participation or assignment would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment or modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement that would (A) increase any Commitment of such Bank if such increase would also increase the participant’s obligations, (B) forgive any amount of or postpone the date for payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or of any fee payable hereunder in which such participant has an interest or (C) reduce the stated rate at which interest or fees accrue or other amounts payable hereunder in which such participant has an interest. The Borrower and each Guarantor authorizes each Bank to disclose to any participant or prospective participant under this Section 13.11 any financial or other information pertaining to the Borrower or any Guarantor, subject to Section 13.20 hereof.

Section 13.12. Assignment Agreements.

(a) Generally. Each Bank may, from time to time upon at least five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Agent and the Borrower, assign to other Persons all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation the indebtedness evidenced by each Note then owned by such assigning Bank, together with an equivalent proportion of its obligation to make Loans and advances and participate in Letters of Credit) pursuant to written agreements in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D executed by such assigning Bank, such assignee Bank or Banks, the Borrower, the Agent and the L/C Issuer, which agreements shall specify in each instance the portion of the indebtedness evidenced by each Note which is to be assigned to each such assignee lender and the portion of the Commitments of the assigning Bank to be assumed by such assignee lender (the “Assignment Agreements”); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Bank’s Commitments, Loans, Notes and interests in Letters of Credit; (ii) the aggregate amount of the Commitment of the assigning Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the effective date of the relevant Assignment Agreement) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 (or the entire amount of its Commitment, if less); (iii) each Bank not assigning its entire Commitment shall maintain for its own account at least $5,000,000 of its Commitment; (iv) the Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower must each consent (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld) to each such assignment (except that the Borrower’s consent is not required if such assignment (A) is made after an Event of Default has occurred, (B) is made to an Affiliate of such assigning Bank, or (C) is made to a Federal Reserve Bank); and (iv) the Agent must receive a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and any out-of-pocket attorney’s fees incurred by the Agent in connection with such

(ii) no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 13.13 shall, unless signed by each Bank, change any provision of Section 7, Section 10, this Section 13.13, or the definition of Required Banks, or affect the number of Banks required to take any action under the Credit Documents, or release any Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guaranty (except to the extent such release is required pursuant to Section 8.11 hereof).

The Borrower further agrees to indemnify each Bank, the Agent, and their respective directors, officers and employees (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”), against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and related expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not the Indemnified Party is a party thereto) which any of them may incur or reasonably pay arising out of or relating to any Credit Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit or in connection with the enforcement of by the Indemnified Parties of their rights under any Credit Document, other than those which arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party claiming indemnification. The Borrower, upon demand by the Agent or a Bank at any time, shall reimburse the Agent or Bank for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing except if the same is directly due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

Section 13.16. Set Off.

Section 13.17. Entire Agreement. The Credit Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and any prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded thereby.

Section 13.18. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto, shall be construed and determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, confidential information shall not include, and each Bank (and each employee, representative or other agent of any Bank) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to such Bank relating to such tax treatment or tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning such tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to such tax treatment or tax structure.
