The Term Loan Commitments shall expire concurrently with the making of the Term Loan on the Closing Date. Amounts repaid on the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Limitation on Amount of Revolving Credit Advances. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances at any time outstanding to the Company shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments at such time, or (B) the Borrowing Base at such time, and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Letter of Credit Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed $30,000,000.

2.2 Termination and Reduction of Commitments and the Term Loan.

(a) The Company shall have the right to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments at any time and from time to time, provided that (i) the Company shall give notice of such termination or reduction to the Agent specifying the amount and effective date thereof, (ii) each partial reduction thereof shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and shall reduce such Revolving Commitments of all of the Revolving Lenders proportionately in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments, (iii) no such termination or reduction shall be permitted with respect to any portion of any such Revolving Commitments as to which a request for a Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to Section 2.4 is then pending, and (iv) the Revolving Commitments may not be terminated if any Revolving Credit Advances are then outstanding and may not be reduced below the principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding. The Revolving Commitments or any portion thereof terminated or reduced pursuant to this Section 2.2, may not be reinstated.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, a Letter of Credit Advance (i) shall be deemed outstanding in an amount equal to the sum of the maximum amount available to be drawn under the related Letter of Credit on or after the date of determination and on or before the stated expiry date thereof plus the amount of any draws under such Letter of Credit that have not been reimbursed as provided in Section 3.3 and (ii) shall be deemed outstanding at all times on and before such stated expiry date or such earlier date on which all amounts available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit have been fully drawn, and thereafter until all related reimbursement obligations have been paid pursuant to Section 3.3. As provided in Section 3.3, upon each payment made by the Agent in respect of any draft or other demand for payment under any Letter of Credit the amount of any Letter of Credit outstanding immediately prior to such payment shall be automatically reduced by the amount of each Revolving Credit Loan deemed advanced in respect of the related reimbursement obligation of the Company.

(c) Subject to subsection 3.1(a)(ii), the Company shall not prepay the Term Loan at any time prior to the repayment in full of the Revolving Credit Advances and the termination of the Revolving Commitments, unless the Agent shall otherwise agree.

2.3 Fees.

(a) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Revolving Lenders, a commitment fee on the daily average unused amount of the Revolving Commitments, for the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date, at a rate equal to 37.5 basis points per annum. For purposes of this subsection

2.3(c), all Letters of Credit shall be considered usage of the Revolving Commitments. Such accrued commitment fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on September 30, 2003, and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent, with respect to Letters of Credit, a per annum fee, computed at a rate equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans, calculated on the maximum amount available to be drawn from time to time under a Letter of Credit, which fee shall be paid quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, to and including the stated expiry date of such Letter of Credit, which fees shall be for the pro rata benefit of the Revolving Lenders, provided that a fee computed at the rate of 0.25% per annum calculated on the face amount of each Letter of Credit shall be retained from such fee solely for the account of the Agent at any time when two or more Lenders hold Revolving Commitments. Such fees are nonrefundable and the Company shall not be entitled to any rebate of any portion thereof if such Letter of Credit does not remain outstanding through its stated expiry date or for any other reason. The Company further agrees to pay to the Agent for its own account, on demand, such other customary administrative fees, charges and expenses of the Agent in respect of the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of such Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued.

(c) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Term Loan Lenders, the commitment fees in the amounts and at the times stated in that certain letter dated August 28, 2003, by and between the Company and the Agent.

(d) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent closing and agency fees for its services as Agent under this Agreement and for other services in the amounts and at the times stated in the Fee Letter, and such other amounts as may from time to time be agreed to in writing between the Company and the Agent.

2.4 Disbursement of Revolving Credit Advances; Loans Evidenced by Notes.

(a) The Company shall give the Agent notice of its request for each Revolving Credit Advance in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto not later than noon Chicago time (i) three LIBOR Business Days prior to the date such Revolving Credit Advance is requested to be made if such Revolving Credit Advance is to be made as a LIBOR Borrowing, (ii) five (5) Business Days prior to the date any Letter of Credit Advance is requested to be made, or such earlier date as reasonably determined by the Agent, and (iii) on the Business Day such Revolving Credit Advance is requested to be made in all other cases, which notice shall specify whether a LIBOR Borrowing, an Adjusted Corporate Base Rate Borrowing or a Letter of Credit Advance is requested and, in the case of each requested LIBOR Borrowing, the LIBOR Interest Period to be initially applicable to such Borrowing and, in the case of each Letter of Credit Advance, such information as may be necessary for the issuance thereof by the Agent. The Agent, reasonably promptly on the same Business Day such notice is given, shall provide notice of such requested

Revolving Credit Advance to the Revolving Lenders. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the proceeds of each such requested Revolving Credit Advance shall be made available to the Company by depositing the proceeds thereof, in immediately available funds, in an account maintained and designated by the Company at the principal office of the Agent. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Agent shall, on the date such Letter of Credit Advance is requested to be made, issue the related Letter of Credit on behalf of the Revolving Lenders for the account of the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Agent may decline to issue any requested Letter of Credit on the basis that the beneficiary, the purpose of issuance or the terms or the conditions of drawing are unacceptable to it in its reasonable discretion, provided that the Agent shall not unreasonably decline to issue a Letter of Credit pursuant to this sentence.

(b) Each Revolving Lender, not later than 2:00 p.m. Chicago time on the date any Borrowing in the form of a Revolving Credit Loan is required to be made, shall make its pro rata share of such Borrowing available in immediately available funds at the principal office of the Agent for disbursement to the Company. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from any Revolving Lender prior to the date such Borrowing is requested to be made under this Section 2.4 that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s pro rata portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date such Borrowing is requested to be made in accordance with this Section 2.4. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made such pro rata portion available to the Agent, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) make such amount available to the Company, and such Lender and the Company severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Company by the Agent until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to, in the case of the Company, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing during such period and, in the case of any Revolving Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first five days and at the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing thereafter. If such Lender shall pay such amount to the Agent together with interest, such amount so paid shall constitute a Revolving Credit Loan by such Lender as a part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make its pro rata portion of any such Borrowing available to the Agent shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligations to make available its pro rata portion of such Borrowing on the date such Borrowing is requested to be made, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for failure of any other Revolving Lender to make such pro rata portion available to the Agent on the date of any such Borrowing.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require or authorize any Lender to issue any Letter of Credit, it being recognized that the Agent has the sole obligation under this Agreement to issue Letters of Credit for the risk of the Lenders. Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit by the Agent, each Revolving Lender shall automatically acquire a pro rata risk participation interest in such Letter of Credit Advance based on its respective Revolving Commitment. If the Agent shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made under any Letter of Credit, the Agent shall provide notice thereof to each Revolving Lender on the date such draft or demand is honored unless the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have satisfied its reimbursement obligation under Section 3.3 by payment to the Agent on such

date. Each Revolving Lender, on such date, shall make its pro rata share of the amount paid by the Agent available in immediately available funds at the principal office of the Agent for the account of the Agent. If and to the extent such Revolving Lender shall not have made any required pro rata portion available to the Agent, such Revolving Lender and the Company, unconditionally and irrevocably, severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was paid by the Agent until such amount is so made available to the Agent for its own account at a per annum rate equal to the interest rate applicable during such period to the related Revolving Credit Loan disbursed under Section 3.3 in respect of the reimbursement obligation of the Company. If such Revolving Lender shall pay such amount to the Agent together with such interest, if any, accrued, such amount so paid shall constitute a Revolving Credit Loan by such Revolving Lender as part of the Revolving Credit Borrowing disbursed in respect of the reimbursement obligation of the Company under Section 3.3 for purposes of this Agreement. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make its pro rata portion of any such amount paid by the Agent available to the Agent shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation to make available its pro rata portion of such amount, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for failure of any other Revolving Lender to make such pro rata portion available to the Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is acknowledged and agreed that Letters of Credit hereunder may be or have been issued for the account of any of the Subsidiaries of the Company, provided that for all purposes of this Agreement both the Company and such Subsidiary shall be deemed the account party thereon and shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations in connection therewith and the Company shall have obtained an agreement from such Subsidiary that such Subsidiary shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit, such agreement to be in form of substance satisfactory to the Agent.

(d) All Loans shall, or at the option of each Term Loan Lender with respect to its portion of the Term Loan, may, be evidenced by the Notes, and all such Loans shall be due and payable and bear interest as provided in Article III. Each Lender and the Agent is hereby authorized by the Company to record on the schedule attached to the Notes, or in its books and records, the date, and amount and type of each Loan and the duration of the related LIBOR Interest Period (if applicable), the amount of each payment or prepayment of principal thereon (if applicable), and the other information provided for on such schedule, which schedule or books and records, as the case may be, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the information so recorded, provided, however, that failure of any Lender or the Agent to record, or any error in recording, any such information shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, all accrued interest thereon and other amounts payable with respect thereto in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company may borrow Revolving Credit Advances and under this Section 2.4 and under Section 3.3, prepay Revolving Credit Advances and the Term Loan pursuant to Section 3.1 and reborrow Revolving Credit Advances under this Section 2.4. The Term Loan shall not be reborrowed in whole or in part once repaid.

2.5 Conditions for Term Loan and First Disbursement. The obligation of the Term Loan Lenders to incur the Term Loan, and the obligation of the Revolving Lenders to make the first Revolving Credit Advance after the Closing Date are subject to receipt by each Lender and

(b) The Company may at any time and from time to time prepay all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Loans, without premium or penalty, provided that (i) any such prepayment made in connection with a reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero or a termination of the Revolving Commitments in either case pursuant to Section 2.2(a) on or prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date shall be accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to 2% of the highest Revolving Commitment amount in effect within the six (6) months preceding giving effect to such reduction or termination, and (ii) any such prepayment made in connection with a reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero or a termination of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.2(a) after the first anniversary of the Effective Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date shall be accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to 1% of the highest Revolving Commitment amount in effect within the six (6) months preceding giving effect to such reduction or termination. Any prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made to the Agent for the benefit of and distribution to the Revolving Lenders. The Company shall not prepay the Term Loan at any time prior to the repayment in full of the Revolving Credit Advances and the termination of the Revolving Commitments, unless the Agent shall otherwise agree. If any prepayment of the Term Loan is permitted by the Bank Subordination Agreement, a prepayment fee shall be charged to the

Company and shall be payable to the Term Loan Lenders, pro rata, in the amount of (i) 2% of the amount being prepaid if prepayment occurs at any time from, and including, the Closing Date to, but excluding, the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) 1% of the amount being prepaid if prepayment occurs at any time from, and including, the first anniversary of the Closing Date, to but excluding, the second anniversary of the Closing Date. The foregoing prepayment fees, with respect to both the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans, shall apply in the manner, in the amounts, and at the times provided (subject to the terms of the Bank Subordination Agreement with respect to when payments may be made to the Term Loan Lenders), at any time either or both of such Loans is or are prepaid by the Company, whether such prepayment by the Company is voluntary, or pursuant to the occurrence of an Event of Default which results in the Agent or the applicable Lenders requiring the immediate termination and repayment of either or both of such Loans, or for any other reason that either or both of such Loans is or are prepaid.

3.2 Interest Payments. The Company shall pay interest to the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan, for the period commencing on the Closing Date (or if later, the date such Loan is made) until such Loan is paid in full, on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), and thereafter on demand, at the following rates per annum:

(a) During such periods that any Revolving Credit Loan is an Adjusted Corporate Base Rate Loan, the Adjusted Corporate Base Rate.

(b) During such periods that any Revolving Credit Loan is a LIBOR Loan, the LIBOR applicable to such Revolving Credit Loan for each related LIBOR Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) With respect to the Term Loan, interest shall accrue and be payable at the Corporate Base Rate plus 6 3/4% per annum (the “Term Loan Interest Rate”), payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided, that, the Company may, upon written notice to the Agent from time to time, elect to defer the cash payment of up to 3% per annum, as of each applicable Interest Payment Date, of the Term Loan Interest Rate (such amount, the “Deferred Interest Amount”). To the extent the Company elects to defer the payment of interest pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Deferred Interest Amounts shall accrue on a monthly basis and remain payable, and interest on all Deferred Interest Amounts shall accrue monthly and be payable, in the same manner as the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan (including without limitation, with respect to the right of the Company to defer a portion of the interest accruing on such Deferred Interest Amount as provided for in this clause (c)).

3.3 Letter of Credit Reimbursement Payments.

(a) (i) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent, not later than 1:00 p.m. Chicago time on the date on which the Agent shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made under any Letter of Credit, an amount equal to the amount paid by the Agent in respect of such draft or other demand under any such Letter of Credit, and all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Agent relative thereto (the “Reimbursement Amount”). The

Agent shall, on the date of each demand for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by the Agent, give the Company notice thereof and of the amount of the Company’s reimbursement obligation and liability for expenses relative thereto; provided that the failure of the Agent to give any such notice shall not affect the reimbursement and other obligations of the Company under this Section 3.3. Unless the Company shall have made such payment to the Agent, on such day, upon each such payment by the Agent, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to satisfy its reimbursement obligation by an Adjusted Corporate Base Rate Borrowing in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Agent in respect of such draft or other demand under such Letter of Credit, and the Agent shall be deemed to have disbursed to the Company, for the account of the Revolving Lenders, the Adjusted Corporate Base Rate Loans comprising such Adjusted Corporate Base Rate Borrowing, and each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall make its share of each such Adjusted Corporate Base Rate Borrowing available to the Agent for its own account in accordance with this Agreement. Such Adjusted Corporate Base Rate Loans shall be deemed disbursed notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any conditions for disbursement of any Revolving Credit Loan and, to the extent of the Adjusted Corporate Base Rate Loans so disbursed, the reimbursement obligation of the Company with respect to such Letter of Credit under this subsection (a)(i) shall be deemed satisfied.

(ii) If, for any reason (including without limitation as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Company pursuant to subsection 6.1(h)), Adjusted Corporate Base Rate Loans may not be made by the Lenders as described in subsection (a)(i) of this Section 3.3, (A) the Company agrees that each Reimbursement Amount not paid pursuant to the first sentence of subsection (a)(i) of this Section 3.3 shall bear interest, payable on demand by the Agent at the interest rate then applicable to Adjusted Corporate Base Rate Loans, and (B) effective on the date each such Adjusted Corporate Base Rate Loan would otherwise have been made with respect to any Letter of Credit each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment severally agrees that it shall unconditionally and irrevocably, without regard to the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event to the extent of such Lender’s pro rata share (based on the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders then constituted by such Lender’s Revolving Commitment) purchase a participating interest in each Reimbursement Amount. Each such Lender will immediately transfer to the Agent, in same day funds, the amount of its participation for its own account. Each such Lender shall share on a pro rata basis in any interest which accrues thereon and in all repayments thereof. If and to the extent that any such Lender shall not have so made the amount of such participating interest available to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent for its own account forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by the Agent until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first five days after such demand and at the Overdue Rate thereafter.

(iii) Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be obligated, absolutely and unconditionally to make Adjusted Corporate Base Rate Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3(a)(i), and to purchase and fund participation interests in Letters of Credit pursuant to subsection 2.4(c) and 3.3(a)(ii), and such obligation shall not be affected by

any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any set off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or the Company may have against the Agent, the Company or anyone else for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, the Agent or any other Lender, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including without limitation any termination or other limitation on the Revolving Commitments or any failure to satisfy any conditions precedent to any Revolving Credit Advance contained herein or any other provision of this Agreement.

(b) The reimbursement obligation of the Company under this Section 3.3 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall remain in full force and effect until all reimbursement obligations of the Company to the Revolving Lenders hereunder shall have been satisfied, and such obligations of the Company shall not be affected, modified or impaired upon the happening of any event, including without limitation, any of the following, whether or not with notice to, or the consent of, the Company:

(i) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any documentation relating to any Letter of Credit or to any transaction related in any way to any Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Documents”).

(ii) Any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, or any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any interest in collateral or security, with respect to any of the Letter of Credit Documents;

(iii) The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Company may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Agent or any Lender or any other Person or entity, whether in connection with any of the Letter of Credit Documents, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transactions;

(iv) Any draft or other statement or document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) Payment by the Agent to the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit;

(vi) Any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of the Agent or any Lender or any party to any of the Letter of Credit Documents to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred upon the Agent, any Lender or any such

party under this Agreement or any of the Letter of Credit Documents, or any other acts or omissions on the part of the Agent, any Lender or any such party; or

(vii) Any other event or circumstance that would, in the absence of this clause, result in the release or discharge by operation of law or otherwise of the Company from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Section 3.3.

No setoff, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any obligation or any defense of any kind or nature which the Company has or may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit shall be available hereunder to the Company against the Agent or any Lender. Nothing in this Section 3.3 shall limit the liability, if any, of the Revolving Lenders to the Company pursuant to subsection 3.3(c).

(c) The Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the Lenders, the Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which the Lenders, the Agent or any such Person may incur or which may be claimed against any of them by reason of or in connection with any Letter of Credit, and neither any Lender, the Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for: (i) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or for any acts or omissions of any beneficiary in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by the Agent to the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; (iv) any error, omission interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit; or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever arising in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify the Lenders, the Agent and such other Persons, and the Agent and the Revolving Lenders shall be severally liable to the Company to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or incidental, damages suffered by the Company which were caused by (A) the Agent’s wrongful dishonor of any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereunder of a draft or other demand for payment and other documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, or (B) the payment by the Agent to the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit to the extent, but only to the extent, that such payment constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, provided that none of the Agent, any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment or any such Person shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. It is understood that in making any payment under a Letter of Credit the Agent will rely on documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein without further investigation and regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such reliance and payment against documents

presented under a Letter of Credit substantially complying with the terms thereof shall not be deemed gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent in connection with such payment. It is further acknowledged and agreed that the Company may have rights against the beneficiary or others in connection with any Letter of Credit with respect to which the Revolving Lenders or the Agent are alleged to be liable and it shall be a precondition of the assertion of any liability of the Revolving Lenders or the Agent under this Section that the Company shall first have exhausted all remedies in respect of the alleged loss against such beneficiary and any other parties obligated or liable in connection with such Letter of Credit and any related transactions.

3.4 Payment Method.

(a) All payments to be made by the Company hereunder will be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds to the Agent (subject to any rights the Term Loan Lender may have to receive payments directly from the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Bank Subordination Agreement) for the account of the Lenders at its address set forth on the signature pages not later than 1:00 p.m. Chicago time on the date on which such payment shall become due. Payments received after 1:00 p.m. Chicago time shall be deemed to be payments made prior to 1:00 p.m. Chicago time on the next succeeding Business Day. The Company hereby authorizes the Agent to charge its account with the Agent in order to cause timely payment of principal, interest and fees due under Section 2.3 to be made (subject to sufficient funds being available in such account for that purpose).

(b) At the time of making each such payment, the Company shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, specify to the Agent that Revolving Credit Advance, portion of the Term Loan, accrued and payable interest, or other obligation of the Company hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. In the event that the Company fails to so specify the relevant obligation, the Agent may apply such payments to any principal, interest, fees or expenses that are then due and payable as it may determine, or if the Loans shall have become due and payable, the Agent shall apply such payments in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof.

(c) On the day such payments are deemed received, the Agent shall remit to the Lenders their pro rata shares of such payments in immediately available funds, (i) in the case of payments of principal and interest on any Borrowing, determined with respect to each such Lender by the ratio which the outstanding principal balance of its Revolving Credit Loan included in such Borrowing bears to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans of all the Lenders included in such Borrowing, (ii) in the case of payments of accrued and payable interest as required herein on the Term Loan, determined with respect to each such Lender by the ratio of such Lender’s share of the Term Loan to the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan, and (iii) in the case of fees paid pursuant to Section 2.3 and other amounts payable hereunder (other than the fees payable to the Agent for its own account pursuant to Section 2.3 and amounts payable to any Lender under Section 3.7) determined with respect to each such Lender by the ratio which the Commitment of such Lender bears to the Commitments of all the Lenders.

3.5 No Setoff or Deduction. All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and other amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be made by the Company without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments, or other charges of whatever nature, imposed by any governmental authority, or by any department, agency or other political subdivision or taxing authority.

3.6 Payment on Non-Business Day; Payment Computations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary, whenever any installment of principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any other amount due hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any installment of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate per annum determined in accordance with this Agreement during such extension. Computations of interest and other amounts due under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed, including the first day but excluding the last day of the relevant period.

3.7 Additional Costs.

(a) In the event that on or after the date hereof, the adoption of or any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to any Lender or the Agent, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or the Agent with any guideline, request or directive of any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (i) directly affect the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender or the Agent of any amounts payable by the Company under this Agreement (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of any Lender or the Agent, by the jurisdiction, or by, any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction, in which any Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, has its principal office), or (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any Lender or the Agent, or (iii) shall impose any other condition with respect to this Agreement, the Commitments, the Notes, the Loans or any Letters of Credit, and the result of any of the foregoing (i.e., (i), (ii) or (iii)) is to increase the cost to any Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, of making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum receivable by any Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, thereon, then the Company shall pay to such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, from time to time, upon request by such Lender (with a copy of such request to be provided to the Agent) or the Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduced sum receivable to the extent, in the case of any LIBOR Loan, such Lender or the Agent is not compensated therefor in the computation of the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan. A statement as to the amount of such increased cost or reduced sum receivable, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, and submitted by such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, to the Company, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation.

(b) In the event that on or after the date hereof, the adoption of or any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to any Lender or the Agent, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or the Agent with any guideline, request or directive of any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including any risk-based capital guidelines, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or the Agent (or any corporation controlling such Lender or the Agent) and such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s or the Agent’s obligations hereunder and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Agent’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or the Agent (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Agent to be material, then the Company shall pay to such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, from time to time, upon request by such Lender (with a copy of such request to be provided to the Agent) or the Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced rate of return which such Lender or the Agent reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s or the Agent’s obligations hereunder. A statement as to the amount of such compensation, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, and submitted by such Lender or the Agent to the Company, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation.

(c) Each Lender will promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable 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 Lender be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or contrary to its policies.

3.8 Illegality and Impossibility. In the event that on or after the date hereof, the adoption of or any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) or any change in any interpretation or administration of any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to any Lender or the Agent, by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any guideline, request or directive or such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including without limitation exchange controls, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to maintain any LIBOR Loan under this Agreement, such Lender’s outstanding LIBOR Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Adjusted Corporate Base Loans on the respective last days of the then current LIBOR Interest Periods with respect to such LIBOR Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current LIBOR Interest Period with respect thereto, the Company shall

pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.9 as if such conversion were a prepayment.

3.9 Indemnification. If the Company makes any payment of principal with respect to any LIBOR Loan on any other date than the last day of a LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto (whether pursuant to Section 3.8, Section 6.2 or otherwise), or if the Company fails to borrow any LIBOR Loan after notice has been given to the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.4, or if the Company fails to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of a LIBOR Loan when due, the Company shall reimburse each Lender on demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by each such Lender, including, without limitation any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, whether or not such Lender shall have funded or committed to fund such Revolving Credit Loan. A statement as to the amount of such loss or expense, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by such Lender and submitted by such Lender to the Company, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation. Calculation of all amounts payable to such Lender under this Section 3.9 shall be made as though such Lender shall have actually funded or committed to fund the relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan and having a maturity comparable to the related LIBOR Interest Period and through the transfer of such deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, that such Lender may fund any LIBOR Loan in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the purpose of calculation of amounts payable under this Section 3.9.

3.10 Substitution of Lender. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.8 when not all Lender’s obligations have been suspended, (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 3.7 or (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Company shall have the right, if no Unmatured Event or Event of Default then exists, to replace such Lender (a “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other lenders (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) acceptable to the Agent, provided that (x) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 3.10, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Acceptances, pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the Commitments, the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances, the Replaced Lender’s pro rata portion of the outstanding Term Loan and other obligations of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) the amount of principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, (B) the amount of all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Replaced Lender under Section 2.3 and (C) the amount which would be payable by the Company to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.9 if the Company prepaid at the time of such replacement all of the Loans of such Replaced Lender outstanding at such time and (y) all obligations of the Company then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (x) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, deemed paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Acceptances, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (x) and (y) above and, if so requested by the

Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Company, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder. The provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation Sections 3.9 and 8.5) shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of a Replaced Lender with respect to any Loans made or any other actions taken by such lender while it was a Lender. Nothing herein shall release any Defaulting Lender from any obligation it may have to the Company, the Agent or any other Lender.

Except as otherwise disclosed in the latest balance sheet delivered pursuant to Section 4.6 or 5.1(d) of this Agreement, the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries have a valid and indefeasible ownership interest in all of the properties and assets reflected in said balance sheet and will have a valid and indefeasible ownership interest in all of the properties and assets subsequently acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary. All of such properties and assets are free and clear of any Lien except for Permitted Liens. The Security Documents grant a first priority, enforceable and perfected lien and security interest in all assets of the Company and each Guarantor subject thereto which is not void or voidable, subject only to Permitted Liens.

4.11 ERISA. The Company, its Subsidiaries, the ERISA Affiliates and the Plans are in compliance in all material respects with those provisions of ERISA and of the Code which are applicable with respect to any Plan.

No Prohibited Transaction and no Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Plan which could have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company, its Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates have met the minimum funding requirements under ERISA and the Code with respect to each of their respective Plans, other than obligations in the ordinary course of business to make Plan contributions and pay PBGC premiums which have been paid when due. Assuming the funds provided by each Lender do not constitute the plan assets of any pension plan, the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents does not constitute a Prohibited Transaction. There is no material Unfunded

Benefit Liability with respect to any Plan. All contributions (if any) have been made to any Multiemployer Plan that are required to be made by the Company, its Subsidiaries, or the ERISA Affiliates, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.11, neither the Company, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has withdrawn or partially withdrawn from any Multiemployer Plan, incurred any withdrawal liability with respect to any such plan or received notice of any claim or demand for withdrawal liability or partial withdrawal liability from any such plan, and no condition has occurred which, if continued, might result in a withdrawal or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan. Neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate has received any notice that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization, that increased contributions may be required in order to avoid a reduction in plan benefits or the imposition of any excise tax, that any such Multiemployer Plan is or has been funded at a rate less than that required by Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, that any such plan is or may be terminated or that any such plan is or may become insolvent.

Such cash collateral delivered in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit shall be deposited in a special cash collateral account to be held by the Agent as collateral security for the payment and performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement to the Lenders and the Agent.

(b) The Agent may and, upon being directed to do so by the Required Lenders, shall, in addition to the remedies provided in subsection 6.2(a), exercise and enforce any and all other rights and remedies available to it or the Lenders, whether arising under this Agreement or any Loan Document or under applicable law, in any manner deemed appropriate by the Agent, including suit in equity, action at law, or other appropriate proceedings, whether for the specific performance (to the extent permitted by law) of any covenant or agreement contained in any other Loan Document or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in any Loan Document.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent and each Lender may, subject to Section 7.10, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Company (any requirement for such notice being expressly waived by the Company) set off and apply against any and all of the obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether owing to such Lender or any other Lender or the Agent, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Agent or such Lender or any Affiliate of the Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Company and any property of the Company from time to time in possession of the Agent or such Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although

such obligations may be contingent and unmatured. The Company hereby grants to the Lenders and the Agent a lien on and security interest in all such deposits, indebtedness and property as collateral security for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. The rights of each Lender and the Agent under this subsection 6.2(c) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which the Agent or each such Lender may have.

6.3 Distribution of Proceeds of Collateral. All proceeds of any realization on the collateral pursuant to the Security Documents and any payments received by the Agent or any Lender pursuant to the Guaranties after the Loans become due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise), shall be allocated and distributed by the Agent as follows:

(e) Fifth, to the payment of any and all other amounts owing to the Revolving Lenders and the Agent on a pro rata basis in accordance with the total amount of such Indebtedness owing to each of the Revolving Lenders and the Agent, for application to payment of such liabilities; and

(f) Sixth, to the payment of all fees required to be paid under any Loan Document, owing to the Lenders holding a portion of the Term Loan on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Lender Indebtedness consisting of fees owing to the Lenders holding a portion of the Term Loan, for application to payment of such liabilities;

(g) Seventh, to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders holding a portion of the Term Loan on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Lender Indebtedness consisting of interest owing to each of such Lenders holding a portion of the Term Loan, and obligations and liabilities relating to Swaps owing to the Lenders holding a portion of the Term Loan for application to payment of such liabilities;

(i) First, if applicable to any payments due from such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, and

(ii) Second, to purchase participations in Loans required to be made by such Defaulting Lender to the extent such Defaulting Lender failed to make such Loans.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the termination of all Commitments and the payment and performance of all the Loans and other obligations owing to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder (other than those owing to a Defaulting Lender), any funds then held in escrow by the Agent pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be distributed to each Defaulting Lender, pro rata in proportion to amounts that would be due to each Defaulting Lender but for the fact that it is a Defaulting Lender.

6.4 Letter of Credit Liabilities. For the purposes of payments and distributions under Section 6.3, the full amount of Lender Indebtedness on account of any Letter of Credit then outstanding but not drawn upon shall be deemed to be then due and owing. Amounts distributable to the Lenders, Agent on account of such Lender Indebtedness under such Letters of Credit shall be deposited in a separate collateral account in the name of and under the control of the Agent and held by the Agent first as security for such Letter of Credit Lender Indebtedness and then as security for all other Lender Indebtedness and the amount so deposited shall be applied to the Letter of Credit Lender Indebtedness at such times and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Lender Indebtedness become absolute liabilities and if and to the extent that the Letter of Credit Lender Indebtedness fails to become absolute Lender Indebtedness because of the expiration or termination of the underlying Letters of Credit without being drawn upon then such amounts shall be applied to the remaining Lender Indebtedness in the order provided in Section 6.3. The Company hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and Agent,

a lien and security interest in all such funds, as security for all the Lender Indebtedness as set forth above.

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS

7.1 Appointment: Nature of Relationship. Effective upon the Effective Date, each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes LaSalle as the Agent to act as the contractual representative of each such Lender thereafter with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. LaSalle, as the Agent, agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article VII. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Agent is merely acting as the representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of § 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.

7.2 Powers. The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent.

7.3 General Immunity. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. 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 any Loan Document or any Borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article II, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; or (v) the value,

sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any interest in any collateral security. The Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by the Company or any Subsidiary to the Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by the Company or any Subsidiary to the Agent (either in its capacity as Agent or in its individual capacity).

7.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Lenders, the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Notes. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Lenders, the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be.

7.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Agent may execute any of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to rely on advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

7.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Agent.

7.8 Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to their Commitments immediately prior to such termination) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Company for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Company under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence

or willful misconduct of the Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 7.8 shall survive payment of the Lender Indebtedness and termination of this Agreement.

7.9 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event or Event of Default hereunder unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

7.10 Rights as a Lender. In the event the Agent is a Lender, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Company or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Agent, in its individual capacity, is not, subject to Section 8.6, obligated to remain a Lender.

7.11 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Company and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

7.12 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent or, if no successor Agent has been appointed, forty-five (45) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Company and the Lenders, a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Company and the Lenders, a successor Agent. If the Agent has resigned and no successor Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Agent hereunder and the Company shall make all payments in respect of the Lender Indebtedness to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon

succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Agent, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

7.13 Collateral Management. The Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to the collateral or the Security Documents which may be necessary (i) to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents, and (ii) to release portions of the collateral from the security interests and liens imposed by the Security Documents in connection with any dispositions of such portions of the collateral permitted hereby. In the event that the Company or the Guarantors desire to sell or otherwise dispose of any assets and such sale or disposition is permitted hereby, the Agent shall, upon timely notice from the Company, release such portions of the collateral from the security interests and liens imposed by the Security Documents as may be specified by the Company or the Guarantors in order for the Borrower or the Guarantors to consummate such proposed sale or disposition, provided that at or prior to the time of such proposed sale or disposition no Unmatured Event or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, including, without limitation, any Unmatured Event or Event of Default that would arise upon consummation of such sale or disposition. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Company shall give timely notice if, not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed sale or disposition, it shall furnish to the Agent an officers’ certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances of such proposed sale or disposition.

7.14 Right to Indemnity. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

7.15 Sharing of Payments. The Lenders agree among themselves that, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Revolving Credit Advance, the Term Loan or any other obligation owing to any of the Lenders under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise in excess of its ratable share of payments received by all of the Lenders on account of the Revolving Credit Advances, the Term Loan and other obligations, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in such Revolving Credit Advances, the Term Loan and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all of the Lenders share such payment in accordance with such ratable shares, except as otherwise required by Section 6.3. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender, which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of

participations theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Company agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Revolving Credit Advance, the Term Loan or other obligation in the amount of such participation. The Lenders further agree among themselves that, in the event that amounts received by the Lenders and the Agent hereunder are insufficient to pay all such obligations or insufficient to pay all such obligations when due, the fees and other amounts owing to the Agent in such capacity shall be paid therefrom before payment of obligations owing to the Lenders under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any Lender or Agent shall fail to remit to the Agent or any other Lender an amount payable by such Lender or Agent to the Agent or such other Lender pursuant to this Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid to the Agent or such other Lender at a rate per annum equal to the rate at which borrowings are available to the payee in its overnight federal funds market. It is further understood and agreed among the Lenders and the Agent that if the Agent shall engage in any other transactions with the Company and shall have the benefit of any collateral or security therefor which does not expressly secure the obligations arising under this Agreement except by virtue of a so-called dragnet clause or comparable provision, the Agent shall be entitled to apply any proceeds of such collateral or security first in respect of the obligations arising in connection with such other transaction before application to the obligations arising under this Agreement.

7.16 Withholding Tax Exemption. Each Lender that is not organized and incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof agrees to file with the Agent and the Company, in duplicate, (a) on or before the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement and (b) thereafter, for each taxable year of such Lender (in the case of a Form W-8ECI) or for each third taxable year of such Lender (in the case of any other form) during which interest or fees arising under this Agreement and the Notes are received, unless not legally able to do so as a result of a change in United States income tax enacted, or treaty promulgated, after the date specified in the preceding clause (a), on or prior to the immediately following due date of any payment by the Company hereunder, a properly completed and executed copy of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form necessary for claiming complete exemption from United States withholding taxes (or such other form as is required to claim complete exemption from United States withholding taxes), if and as provided by the Code or other pronouncements of the United States Internal Revenue Service, and such Lender warrants to the Company that the form so filed will be true and complete; provided that such Lender’s failure to complete and execute such Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, or Form W-8 or Form W-9, as the case may be, and any such additional form (or any successor form or forms) shall not relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.16.

(a) The Company agrees to pay, or reimburse the Agent for the payment of, on demand, (i) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents, the review of the Subordinated Debt Documents and the Preferred Stock Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and in connection with advising the Agent as to its rights and responsibilities with respect thereto, and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents in connection therewith, and (ii) all stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing or recording of the Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omitting to pay such taxes or fees, and (iii) all costs and expenses of the Agent (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and whether incurred through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) in connection with any Unmatured Event or Event of Default or the enforcement or collection, or the exercise or preservation, of any rights under any Loan Document or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement (which costs and expenses shall be deemed to include, without limitation, those incurred by any auditor or consultant engaged by counsel for the Agent pursuant to subsection 5.1(e) hereof), and (iv) all

costs and expenses of the Agent (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with any action or proceeding relating to a court order, injunction or other process or decree restraining or seeking to restrain the Agent from paying any amount under, or otherwise relating in any way to, any Letter of Credit and any and all costs and expenses which any of them may incur relative to any payment under any Letter of Credit. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, each reference to the Agent and its counsel in this subsection 8.5(a) shall apply equally to the Term Loan Lender, in its capacity as a Lender of all or any portion of the Term Loan hereunder, and its counsel.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify each Lender, the Agent and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto) (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”) at any time relating to (whether before or after the execution of this Agreement) any of the following:

(i) any actual or proposed use of any Loan, Letter of Credit hereunder by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any Loan;

(ii) the entering into and performance of this Agreement and any other Loan Document by any of the Indemnified Parties (including any action brought by or on behalf of the Company as the result of any determination by any Lender not to make any Loan);

(iii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to any Permitted Acquisition or proposed Permitted Acquisition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of all or any portion of the stock or assets of any Person or to the issuance of, or any other matter relating to, any Subordinated Debt or Preferred Stock, whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto;

(iv) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to any environmental cleanup, audit, compliance or other matter relating to any release by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Hazardous Material or any violations of Environmental Laws; or

(v) the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, or release from, any real property owned or operated by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof of any Hazardous Material (including any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Law), regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, the Company or such Subsidiary, except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising for the

account of a particular Indemnified Party by reason of the activities of the Indemnified Party on the property of the Company or any Subsidiary conducted subsequent to a foreclosure on such property by any Indemnified Party or by reason of the relevant Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement,

(vi) and if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

The Company shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for all Indemnified Liabilities subject to and pursuant to the foregoing provisions, regardless of whether the Company or any of its Subsidiaries had knowledge of the facts and circumstances giving rise to such Indemnified Liability; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

8.6 Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided that the Company may not, without the prior consent of all the Lenders, assign its rights or obligations under any Loan Document and the Lenders shall not be obligated to make any Loan hereunder to any entity other than the Company.

(b) Any Lender may sell a participation interest to any financial institution or institutions, and such financial institution or institutions may further sell a participation interest (undivided or divided) in, the Loans and such Lender’s rights and benefits under the Loan Documents, and to the extent of that participation, such participant or participants shall have the same rights and benefits against the Company under subsection 6.2(c) as it or they would have had if participation of such participant or participants were the Lender making the Loans to the Company hereunder, provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unmodified and fully effective and enforceable against such Lender, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Notes for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Company, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) such Lender shall not grant to its participant any rights to consent or withhold consent to any action taken by such Lender or the Agent under this Agreement other than action requiring the consent of all of the Lenders hereunder (or in the case of a participation in the Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Commitments, the consent of all Revolving Lenders hereunder), and (iv) such participation shall in no event be less than $5,000,000. The Agent from time to time in its sole discretion may appoint agents for the purpose of servicing and administering this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and enforcing or exercising any rights or remedies of the Agent provided under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

In furtherance of such agency, the Agent may from time to time direct that the Company provide notices, reports and other documents contemplated by this Agreement (or duplicates thereof) to such agent. The Company hereby consents to the appointment of such agent and agrees to provide all such notices, reports and other documents and to otherwise deal with such agent acting on behalf of the Agent in the same manner as would be required if dealing with the Agent itself.

(c) Each Lender may, with the prior written consent of the Company solely as to the Revolving Credit Advances and Revolving Commitments, which consent from the Company shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if such assignment is to an Affiliate of a Lender or to another Lender, and the prior written consent of the Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Revolving Credit Advances and pro rata portion of the Term Loan owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations, (ii) except in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, unless such assignment is to another Lender, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $2,500,000, and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 thereafter, or such lesser amount as the Company and the Agent may consent to, and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit J hereto (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, payable to the Agent for its sole benefit. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Company or the performance or observance by the

Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document famished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.6 and subsection 5.1(d) for periods prior to the date of such assignment, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement and such Assignment and Acceptance are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(e) The Agent shall maintain at its address designated on the signature pages hereof a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances and/or Term Loan owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding, for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Company, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Company. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Company, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note or Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to, and for the same type(s) of, the Commitment or Loan assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment or Loan hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to, and for the same type(s) of, the Commitment or Loan retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the applicable exhibit(s) hereto.

(g) The Lenders may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.6, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Company,

provided that assignee or participant agrees to keep all non-public information confidential to the same extent required by this Agreement.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or assign, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Lender in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; provided that such creation of a security interest or assignment shall not release such Lender from its obligations under this Agreement.

8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

8.8 Governing Law. This Agreement is a contract made under, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Illinois in the same manner applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State and without giving effect to choice of law principles of such State.

8.9 Table of Contents and Headings. The table of contents and the headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for the convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify any of the terms or provisions hereof.

8.10 Construction of Certain Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement refers to any action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person, whether or not expressly specified in such provision.

8.11 Integration and Severability. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement and embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and the Agent and the Lenders, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter hereof. In case any one or more of the obligations of the Company under any Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining obligations of the Company shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in one jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the obligations of the Company under any Loan Document in any other jurisdiction.

8.12 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any such covenant, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would be otherwise within the limitations of another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Unmatured Event or an Event of Default or any event or condition which with notice or lapse of time, or both, could become such an Unmatured Event or an Event of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists.

8.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, in no event shall the amount of interest paid or agreed to be paid by the Company exceed an amount computed at the highest rate of interest permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of any Loan Document at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the interest rate limitation validly prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligations to be fulfilled shall be reduced to an amount computed at the highest rate of interest permissible under applicable law, and if for any reason whatsoever the Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount which would be deemed unlawful under such applicable law such interest shall be automatically applied to the payment of principal of the Loans outstanding hereunder to such Lender (whether or not then due and payable) and not to the payment of interest, or shall be refunded to the Company if such principal and all other obligations of the Company to the Lenders have been paid in full.

8.14 Judgment and Payment.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder by the Company in one currency into another currency, the Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the relevant Lender could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Company in respect of any sum due in Dollars to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any payment obligation or judgment in a currency (the “Payment Currency”) other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Payment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase Dollars with the Payment Currency; if the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in Dollars, the Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Company contained in this Section 8.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.
