In the event that any Lender fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.2(D), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied. In addition to the foregoing, if for any reason any Lender fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.2(D), such Lender shall be deemed, at the option of the Administrative Agent, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swing Line Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the applicable Swing Line Loan in, at the Swing Line Bank’s option, the amount or Dollar Amount, as applicable, of such Revolving Loan, and such interest and participation may be recovered from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand and ending on the date such amount is received. On the Termination Date, the Borrowers shall repay in full the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Loans.

2.3. Rate Options for all Advances; Maximum Interest Periods. The Swing Line Loans, if denominated in Dollars, shall be Floating Rate Advances, and, if denominated in euro, shall bear interest at a rate at which the Swing Line Bank offers to place deposits in euro for the applicable period to first-class banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on the first day of the applicable Interest Period for such Swing Line Loan in euro at the time of the making of any such Swing Line Loan. The Revolving Loans may be Floating Rate Advances (if denominated in Dollars) or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the Company (on behalf of itself or any Subsidiary Borrower) in accordance with Section 2.9. The Company may select, in accordance with Section 2.9, Rate Options and Interest Periods applicable to portions of the Revolving Loans; provided that there shall be no more than eight (8) Interest Periods in effect with respect to all of the Loans at any time.

2.4. Optional Payments; Mandatory Prepayments; Determination of Dollar Amounts.(A) Optional Payments. The Borrowers may from time to time and at any time upon at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice repay or prepay, without penalty or premium all or any part of outstanding Floating Rate Advances in an aggregate minimum Dollar Amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Eurocurrency Rate Advances may be voluntarily repaid or prepaid prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, subject to the indemnification provisions contained in Section 4.4, in an aggregate minimum Dollar Amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000, in excess thereof, provided, that no Borrower may so prepay Eurocurrency Rate Advances unless it shall have provided at least (i) in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in Dollars, three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice and (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in euro, four (4) Business Days prior written notice, in each case to the Administrative Agent of such prepayment.

(B) Mandatory Prepayments of Revolving Loans; Cash Collateralization of L/C Obligations.

(i)    If at any time and for any reason (other than fluctuations in currency exchange rates) the Dollar Amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations (calculated, with respect to those Credit Events denominated in euros, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to such Credit Event) are greater than the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, the Company shall immediately make a mandatory prepayment of the Obligations (and if no Loans are outstanding, cash collateralize L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 3.11) in an amount equal to such excess.

(ii)    If at any time, solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, (x) the Dollar Amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations (as calculated in clause (i) above) exceeds one hundred three percent (103%) of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, (y) the Dollar Amount of the Swing Line Exposure (as calculated in clause (i) above) exceeds one hundred five percent (105%) of the Swing Line Commitment or (z) the Dollar Amount of the L/C Obligations (as calculated in clause (i) above) exceeds one hundred five percent (105%) of the L/C Sublimit, then the Borrowers for the ratable benefit of the Lenders shall immediately, in the case of clause (x), prepay Loans (and if no Loans are outstanding, cash collateralize L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 3.11) in an aggregate amount such that after giving effect thereto the Dollar Amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations is less than or equal to the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, in the case of clause (y), prepay Swing Line Loans in an aggregate amount such that after giving effect thereto the Dollar Amount of the Swing Line Exposure is less than or equal to the Swing Line Commitment, and in the case of clause (z), cash collateralize L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount such that after giving effect thereto the Dollar Amount of the L/C Obligations is less than or equal to the L/C Sublimit.

(iii)    All of the mandatory prepayments made hereunder shall be applied first to Floating Rate Loans and to any Eurocurrency Rate Loans maturing on such date and then to subsequently maturing Eurocurrency Rate Loans in order of maturity, subject to Section 4.4 hereof. Mandatory repayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid and (ii) in respect of amounts applied to repayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, break funding payments, if any, pursuant to Section 4.4.

(C) Determination of Dollar Amounts. The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Amount of:

(i)    each Eurocurrency Rate Advance as of the date two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such Advance or, if applicable, the date of conversion/continuation of any Advance as a Eurocurrency Rate Advance,

(ii)    the L/C Exposure as of the date of each request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, and

(iii)    all outstanding Credit Events on and as of the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and, during the continuation of an Default, on any other Business Day elected by the Administrative Agent in its discretion or upon instruction by the Required Lenders.

Each day upon or as of which the Administrative Agent determines Dollar Amounts as described in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) is herein described as a “Computation Date” with respect to each Credit Event for which a Dollar Amount is determined on or as of such day.

2.5. Voluntary Reduction of Commitments. The Company (on behalf of itself and the Subsidiary Borrowers) may permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Lenders, in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 with respect thereto and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount with respect thereto (unless the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment is reduced in whole), upon at least three (3) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction; provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment may not be reduced below the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations. All accrued facility fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder.

2.6. Method of Borrowing. Not later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on each applicable Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars in immediately available funds in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV, and not later than 12:00 noon (Local Time) on each applicable Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make its Revolving Loan denominated in euro in immediately available funds in euro to the Administrative Agent at its Eurocurrency Payment Office. The Administrative Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the applicable Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid applicable address.

2.7. Method of Selecting Types, Currency and Interest Periods for Advances. The Company (on behalf of itself or any applicable Subsidiary Borrower) shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Interest Period and Agreed Currency applicable to each Advance from time to time. The Company shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such request in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Borrowing/Election Notice”) not later than (a) 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance and (b) (i) 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) three (3) Business Days (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in Dollars) or (ii) 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) four (4) Business Days (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in euro), in each case before the Borrowing Date for each such Eurocurrency Rate Advance, specifying: (i) the applicable Borrower; (ii) the Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day) of such Advance; (iii) the aggregate amount of such Advance; (iv) the Type of Advance selected; (v) in the case of each Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Interest Period and Agreed Currency applicable thereto; and (vi) the account of the applicable Borrower to which the proceeds of the applicable Advance are to be credited. All Obligations other than Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall bear interest from and including the date of the making of such Advance, in the case of Loans, and the date such Obligation is due and owing in the case of such other Obligations, to (but not including) the date of repayment thereof at the Floating Rate changing when and as such Floating Rate changes. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Loan will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the Eurocurrency Rate, changing when and as such Eurocurrency Rate changes.

2.8. Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each Advance (other than an Advance to repay Swing Line Loans or a Reimbursement Obligation, which shall be made in accordance with Section 2.2(D) or 3.7, as applicable) shall be in the minimum Dollar Amount of $5,000,000 and in multiples equal to the Dollar Amount of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof; provided, however, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the Dollar Amount of the unused Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.

2.9. Method of Selecting Types, Currency and Interest Periods for Conversion and Continuation of Advances.(A) Right to Convert. The Company (on behalf of itself or any Subsidiary Borrower) may elect from time to time, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 and this Section 2.9, to convert all or any part of a Loan of any Type into any other Type or Types of Loan; provided that any conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(B) Automatic Conversion and Continuation. Floating Rate Loans shall continue as Floating Rate Loans unless and until such Floating Rate Loans are converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars shall continue as Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Floating Rate Loans unless the Company shall have given the Administrative Agent notice in accordance with Section 2.9(D) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurocurrency Rate Loans continue as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan. Unless a Borrowing/Election Notice shall

have timely been given in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.9, Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in euro shall automatically continue as Eurocurrency Rate Advances in euro with an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(C) No Conversion Post-Default or Post-Unmatured Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9(A) or Section 2.9(B), when any Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) no outstanding Loan denominated in Dollars may be converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars shall be converted into a Floating Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in an Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) shall automatically be continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month.

(D) Borrowing/Election Notice. The Company (on behalf of itself or any Subsidiary Borrower) shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Borrowing/Election Notice of each conversion of a Floating Rate Loan into a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan not later than 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) three (3) Business Days (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars) or four (4) Business Days (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in euro, in each case prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, with respect to any Loan to be converted or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, specifying: (i) the name of the applicable Borrower, (ii) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of such conversion or continuation; (iii) the amount and Type of the Loan to be converted or continued; and (iv) the amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loan(s) into which such Loan is to be converted or continued, the Agreed Currency and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(E) Limitations on Conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at the election of the Company under this Section 2.9, Eurocurrency Rate Advances in an Agreed Currency may be converted and/or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Advances only in the same Agreed Currency. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Advance if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Termination Date.

2.10. Default Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the interest rate(s) applicable to the Obligations shall be equal to the then applicable rate plus two percent (2%) per annum, and the fee described in Section 3.8(A) shall be equal to the then Applicable L/C Fee Percentage plus two percent (2%) per annum.

2.11. Method of Payment; Denomination of Amounts in Dollars; Dollar Equivalent of Reimbursement Obligations.

(A) All payments of principal, interest, fees, commissions and L/C Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (unless indicated otherwise in Section 2.14(E)), in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent (i) at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIV with respect to Advances or other Obligations denominated in Dollars and (ii) at the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office with respect to any Advance or other Obligations denominated in euro, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Company, by 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the date when due and shall be made ratably among the Lenders (unless such amount is not to be shared ratably in accordance with the terms hereof). Each Credit Event shall be repaid or prepaid in the Agreed Currency in which it was made in the amount borrowed and interest payable thereon shall also be paid in such currency. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the

Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds which the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV, at its Eurocurrency Payment Office or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.11 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the Issuing Bank, in the case of payments required to be made by the Company to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Article III.

(B) All Dollar Amounts referenced herein shall be calculated using the Dollar Amount determined based upon the Equivalent Amount in effect as of the date of any determination thereof; provided, however, that to the extent the Borrowers shall be obligated hereunder to pay in Dollars any Credit Event denominated in a currency other than Dollars, such amount shall be paid in Dollars using the Dollar Amount of the Credit Event (calculated based upon the Equivalent Amount in effect on the date of payment thereof). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the full risk of currency fluctuations shall be borne by the Borrowers and each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any loss resulting from any Credit Event denominated in euro and for which the Lenders are not repaid or reimbursed, when due, in euro.

(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Credit Event in euro, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the European Union or any Participating Member State which issues euro with the result that different types of currency (the “Substituted Currency”) are introduced and/or required to be substituted therefor and the euro no longer exists or any Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in euro, then all payments to be made by any Borrower hereunder in euro shall be made to the Administrative Agent in such amount and such type of the Substituted Currency or, if payment in such Substituted Currency cannot be made due to the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations or if the Administrative Agent otherwise objects to repayment in such Substituted Currency, or the terms of this Agreement request or require the conversion of such Credit Event into Dollars, in Dollars, as shall be equivalent to the Dollar Amount of such payment otherwise due hereunder in euro, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations or conversion.

2.12. Evidence of Debt.        (A) Loan Account. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts (a “Loan Account”) evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(B) Register. The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.3(D) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto pursuant to Section 13.3, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof and (v) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, all fees, charges, expenses and interest.

(C) Entries in Loan Account and Register. The entries made in the Loan Account, the Register and the other accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) of this Section shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, unless the Company (on behalf of itself or any Subsidiary Borrower)

objects to information contained in the Loan Accounts, the Register or the other accounts within thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of such information; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(D) Notes Upon Request. Any Lender may request that the Loans made by it each be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit J to evidence such Lender’s Loans. In such event, each Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such a promissory note for such Loans payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 13.3) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form, payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clauses (a) and (b) above.

2.13. Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend Advances and to transfer funds based only on written notices, and to effect selections of Types of Advances based on telephonic (solely in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars) or written notices, in each case, made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Company. The Company (on behalf of itself or any Subsidiary Borrower) agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, signed by an Authorized Officer of the Company, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. In case of disagreement concerning such notices, if the Administrative Agent has recorded telephonic borrowing notices, such recordings will be made available to the Company upon the Company’s request therefor.

2.14. Promise to Pay; Interest and Fees; Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis; Taxes.(A) Promise to Pay. Without limiting the provisions of Section 1.4 or Article XVI hereof, each Borrower unconditionally promises to pay when due the principal amount of each Loan incurred by it and all other Obligations incurred by it, and to pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(B) Interest Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, upon any prepayment whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which such Eurocurrency Rate Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and on the Termination Date. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Rate Loan having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest accrued on the principal balance of all other Obligations shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Payment Date, commencing on the first such Payment Date following the incurrence of such Obligations, (ii) upon repayment thereof in full or in part and (iii) if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Obligations become due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(C) Fees.

(i)    Facility Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, from and after the date of this Agreement

until the date on which the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be terminated in whole, a facility fee accruing at the rate of the then Applicable Facility Fee Percentage on the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (whether used or unused). All such facility fees payable under this clause (C)(i) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date occurring after the date of this Agreement (with the first such payment being calculated for the period from the Closing Date and ending on November 30, 2016), and, in addition, on the date on which the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be terminated in whole.

(ii)    Other Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, as the case may be, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon among any of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger.

(D) Interest and Fee Basis; Applicable Eurocurrency Margin, Applicable Floating Rate Margin, Applicable L/C Fee Percentage, Applicable Facility Fee Percentage.

(i)    Interest on all Loans and on all fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year; provided, however, interest on all Floating Rate Loans that are based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-, or when appropriate 366-, day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Obligation is incurred but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan or any payment of any other Obligations shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, fees and commissions in connection with such payment.

(ii)    The Applicable Eurocurrency Margin, Applicable Floating Rate Margin, Applicable L/C Fee Percentage and Applicable Facility Fee Percentage shall be determined on the basis of the then applicable Status, as defined in the Pricing Schedule.

(E) Taxes.

(i)    Except to the extent required by applicable law, any and all payments by the Borrowers hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, fees, assessments, charges or withholdings or any interest, penalties or liabilities with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority including those arising after the date hereof as a result of any Change in Law but excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, (a) such taxes (including income taxes, franchise taxes and branch profit taxes) or other items deducted as are imposed on or measured by such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be, net income or similar taxes imposed by the United States of America or any Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is incorporated or organized, maintains its principal office or maintains a Lending Installation and (b) any United States federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, fees, assessments, charges, withholdings, and liabilities which the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines to be applicable to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Revolving Loan Commitments, the Loans or the Letters of Credit being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable

shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14(E)) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, and (iii) the applicable Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. If any Tax, including, without limitation, any withholding tax, of the United States of America or any other Governmental Authority shall be or become applicable (y) after the date of this Agreement, to such payments by the Borrowers made to the Lending Installation or any other office that a Lender may claim as its Lending Installation, or (z) after such Lender’s selection and designation of any other Lending Installation, to such payments made to such other Lending Installation, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to make, fund and maintain its Loans through another Lending Installation of such Lender in another jurisdiction so as to reduce the Borrower’s liability hereunder, if the making, funding or maintenance of such Loans through such other Lending Installation of such Lender does not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, otherwise adversely and materially affect such Loans, or obligations under the Revolving Loan Commitments of such Lender.

(ii)    In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder, from the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Revolving Loan Commitments, the Loans or the Letters of Credit (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(iii)    Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 2.14(E)) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to any additional amount payable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.14(E) submitted to the Company and the Administrative Agent (if a Lender is so submitting) by such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall show in reasonable detail the amount payable and the calculations used to determine such amount and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto. With respect to such deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes and to confirm that all such Taxes have been paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, the Company (on behalf of itself or any Subsidiary Borrower) shall promptly (and in any event not later than thirty (30) days after receipt) furnish to each Lender and the Administrative Agent such certificates, receipts and other documents as may be reasonably required (in the judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent) to establish any tax credit to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent may be entitled.

(iv)    Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower, the Company shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(v)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent contained in this Section 2.14(E) shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this Agreement.

(vi)    Each Lender (including any Replacement Lender or Purchaser) and, if applicable, the Administrative Agent, that is not a U.S. Person (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or before the Closing Date, or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof, either (A) two (2) duly completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, or IRS Form W-8ECI, or in either case, an applicable successor form; or (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not legally entitled to deliver the forms listed in clause (vi)(A), (x) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of such Non-U.S. Lender to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (such certificate, an “Exemption Certificate”) and (y) two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or applicable successor form, in each case, certifying that such Person is exempt from United States withholding tax and is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction for withholding of any United States federal taxes. Each Lender (other than a Non-U.S. Lender) and the Administrative Agent shall, on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, deliver to each of the Company and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) establishing that such Lender is a U.S. person (within the meaning of Section 7701(A)(30) of the Code) and is not subject to backup withholding. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent further agrees to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent from time to time a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender in a form satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent, (x) upon request of the Company or the Administrative Agent or (y) before or promptly upon the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent certificate previously delivered by it to the Company and the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.14(E)(vi). Further, each Lender and, if applicable, the Administrative Agent, which delivers a form or certificate pursuant to this clause (vi) covenants and agrees to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of such form, for so long as this Agreement is still in effect, another such certificate and/or two (2) accurate and complete original newly-signed copies of the applicable form (or any successor form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder).

Each Lender and, if applicable the Administrative Agent, shall promptly furnish to the Company and the Administrative Agent such additional documents as may be reasonably required by the Company or the Administrative Agent to establish any exemption from or reduction of any Taxes or Other Taxes required to be deducted or withheld and which may be obtained without undue expense to such Person. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.14(E), the Borrowers shall not be obligated to gross up any payments to any Person pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(i), or to indemnify any Person pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(iii), in respect of United States federal withholding taxes to the extent imposed as a result of (x) the failure of such Person to deliver to the Company the form or forms and/or an Exemption Certificate, as applicable to such Person, pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(vi), (y) such form or forms and/or Exemption Certificate or the information or certifications made therein by the Person being untrue or inaccurate on the date delivered in any

material respect or (z) the Person designating a successor Lending Installation at which it maintains its Loans which has the effect of causing such Person to become obligated for tax payments in excess of those in effect immediately prior to such designation; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall be obligated to gross up any payments to any such Person pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(i), and to indemnify any such Person pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(iii), in respect of United States federal withholding taxes if (i) any such failure to deliver a form or forms or an Exemption Certificate or the failure of such form or forms or exemption certificate to establish a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax or inaccuracy or untruth contained therein resulted from a change in any applicable statute, treaty, regulation or other applicable law or any interpretation of any of the foregoing occurring after the date such Person became a party hereto, which change rendered such Person no longer legally entitled to deliver such form or forms or Exemption Certificate or otherwise ineligible for a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax, or rendered the information or the certifications made in such form or forms or Exemption Certificate untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, (ii) the redesignation of the Lender’s Lending Installation was made at the request of any Borrower or (iii) the obligation to gross up payments to any Person pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(i), or to indemnify any such Person pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(iii), is with respect to a Purchaser that becomes a Purchaser as a result of an assignment made at the request of any Borrower.

For purposes of clarification, for so long as the Administrative Agent is a Lender, any forms or other information required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and/or the Company under this Section 2.14(E)(iv) shall be satisfied by a single delivery of such forms by the relevant financial institution.

(vii)    Upon the request, and at the expense of the Borrowers, each Lender to which any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to this Section 2.14(E), shall reasonably afford the Company (on behalf of itself or any Subsidiary Borrower) the opportunity to contest, and shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in contesting, the imposition of any Tax giving rise to such payment; provided, that (i) such Lender shall not be required to afford the Company the opportunity to so contest unless the Company shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender its obligation (or the obligation of any Subsidiary Borrower) to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) the Borrowers shall reimburse such Lender for its attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Company in contesting the imposition of such Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be required to afford the Company the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Company in contesting, the imposition of any Taxes, if such Lender in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.

(viii)    Any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender requesting compensation under this Section 2.14(E) shall use its reasonable efforts to notify the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing of the event giving rise to such demand for compensation not more than ninety (90) days following the date upon which the responsible account officer for the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender knows of such event. Such written demand shall be rebuttably presumed correct for all purposes. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent demands compensation under this Section 2.14(E) more than ninety (90) days following the date upon which a responsible account officer for such Lender or the Administrative Agent knows that Taxes or Other Taxes have begun to accrue with respect to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent is entitled to compensation under this Section 2.14(E), then any Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to the period prior to the ninety (90) day period immediately preceding the date on which such Lender or the

Administrative Agent provided such notice and demand for compensation shall be excluded from the indemnity obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.14(E).

(ix)    In the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund (whether by way of direct refund, credit, offset or otherwise) in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes, which refund is attributable to amounts paid or indemnified by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.14(E), such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof, pay to the Company such refund (if any) not exceeding the amount paid by the Company to, or on behalf of, such Lender or the Administrative Agent that is allocable to such refunded Taxes or Other Taxes (net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such person in obtaining such credit). In the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority, each Borrower agrees to return the refund to such Lender or the Administrative Agent.

(x)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, fees, assessments, charges or withholdings, or any interest, penalties or liabilities with respect thereto, attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.2(C) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, fees, assessments, charges or withholdings, or any interest, penalties or liabilities with respect thereto, excluded by the first sentence of Section 2.14(E)(i) that are attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such amounts were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (x).

(xi)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (xi), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(xii)    For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the effective date of this Agreement, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loan Documents as not

qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

2.15. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment reduction notice, Increase Notice, Borrowing/Election Notice and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Floating Rate Loan and Eurocurrency Rate Loan and the Agreed Currency applicable to each Eurocurrency Rate Loan promptly upon determination of such interest rate and Agreed Currency and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.16. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans or Letters of Credit at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the relevant Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of Sections 2.14(E), 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender). Each Lender may, by written or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments and/or payments of L/C Obligations are to be made.

2.17. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.

(A) Unless a Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (including without limitation the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars) or (ii) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

(B) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment or any Revolving Loan required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.2(D), 2.17(A), 3.6, 3.7 or 11.8, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections; in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

2.18. Termination Date. This Agreement shall be effective until the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until (A) all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been fully paid and satisfied in cash, (B) all financing arrangements among the Borrowers and the Lenders shall have been terminated and (C) all of the Letters of Credit shall have expired, been canceled, terminated or cash collateralized in accordance with Section 3.11, all of the covenants, rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive.

2.19. Replacement of Certain Lenders. In the event any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (i) becomes a Defaulting Lender, (ii) requests compensation from the Borrowers under Sections 2.14(E), 4.1 or 4.2 to recover Taxes, Other Taxes or other additional costs incurred by such Lender which are not being incurred generally by the other Lenders, (iii) delivers a notice pursuant to Section 4.3 claiming that such Lender is unable to extend Eurocurrency Rate Loans to the Company for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders or (iv) invokes Section 10.2, then, in any such case, the Company or the Administrative Agent may make written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent in the case of a demand by the Company and a copy to the Company in the case of a demand by the Administrative Agent) for the Affected Lender to assign, and such Affected Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment Agreements five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more financial institutions that comply with the provisions of Sections 13.3(A) and 13.3(B) (provided that the consent of each of the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank shall only be required if a Revolving Loan Commitment is being assigned) which the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall have engaged for such purpose (a “Replacement Lender”), all of such Affected Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, its Revolving Loan Commitment, all Loans owing to it, all of its participation interests in existing Letters of Credit, and its obligation to participate in additional Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans hereunder) in accordance with Section 13.3; provided, that such Affected Lender’s failure to execute an Assignment Agreement in accordance with the terms described above will not impair the validity of the removal of such Affected Lender, and the mandatory assignment of such Affected Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, its Revolving Loan Commitment, all Loans owing to it, all of its participation interests in existing Letters of Credit, and its obligation to participate in additional Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans hereunder) shall nevertheless be effective without the execution of such an Assignment Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require any Affected Lender to assign its rights and obligation under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at less than par value. The Administrative Agent agrees, upon the occurrence of such events with respect to an Affected Lender and upon the written request of the Company, to use its reasonable efforts to obtain the commitments from one or more financial institutions (other than an Ineligible Institution) to act as a Replacement Lender. Further, with respect to such assignment, the Affected Lender shall have concurrently received, in cash, all amounts due and owing to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans owed to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such assignment, amounts payable under Sections 2.14(E), 4.1, and 4.2 with respect to such Affected Lender and compensation payable under Section 2.14(C) in the event of any replacement of any Affected Lender under clause (ii), clause (iii) or clause (iv) of this Section 2.19; provided that upon such Affected Lender’s replacement, such Affected Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14(E), 2.11(B), 3.10, 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 10.7 (and each other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents whereby the Company or any of its Subsidiaries agrees to reimburse or indemnify the Lenders), as well as to any fees accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid, and shall continue to be obligated under Section 11.8 for such amounts, obligations and liabilities as are due and payable up to and including (but not after) the date such Affected Lender is replaced pursuant hereto. Upon the replacement of any Affected Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19, the provisions of Section 9.2 shall continue to apply with respect to

Loans which are then outstanding with respect to which the Affected Lender failed to fund its Pro Rata Share and which failure has not been cured.

2.20. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due from a Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main office in Chicago, Illinois on the Business Day preceding that on which the final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 12.2, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrowers.

2.21. Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions referred to in this Article II with respect to any Advance requested to be made in euro, if there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Advance any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the reasonable opinion of the Company, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders make it impracticable for the Eurocurrency Rate Loans comprising such Advance to be denominated in euro, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders, and such Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall not be denominated in such currency but shall be made on such Borrowing Date in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing/Election Notice, as Floating Rate Loans, unless the Company notifies the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day before such date that it elects not to borrow on such date.

2.22. Expansion Option.

(A) At any time, the Company may (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) request that the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment be increased or elect to enter into one or more tranches of term loans (each an “Incremental Term Loan”) by an aggregate amount of up to $75,000,000 for all such increases and Incremental Term Loans, provided, that, after giving effect to any such increase or tranche of Incremental Term Loans, the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and the initial aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall not exceed $200,000,000. Such request shall be made in a written notice given to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Company not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such increase, which notice (an “Increase Notice”) shall specify the amount of the proposed increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or tranche of Incremental Term Loans and the proposed effective date of such increase or tranche. In the event of such a Increase Notice, each of the Lenders shall be given the opportunity

to participate in the requested increase ratably in proportions that their respective Revolving Loan Commitments bear to the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. No Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment or participate in any tranche of Incremental Term Loans.

(B) On or prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Increase Notice, each Lender shall submit to the Administrative Agent a notice indicating the maximum amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment or participate in such tranche of Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, in connection with such Increase Notice (any such notice, a “Lender Increase Notice”). Any Lender which does not submit a Lender Increase Notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to have denied any increase in its Revolving Loan Commitment or participation in such tranche of Incremental Term Loans. In the event that the increases of Revolving Loan Commitments or tranche of Incremental Term Loans set forth in the Lender Increase Notices exceed the amount requested by the Company in the Increase Notice, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to allocate the amount of increases necessary to meet the Company’s Increase Notice. In the event that the Lender Increase Notices are less than the amount requested by the Company, not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date the Company may notify the Administrative Agent of any financial institution (other than an Ineligible Institution) that shall have agreed to become a “Lender” party hereto (a “Proposed New Lender”) in connection with the Increase Notice. Any Proposed New Lender shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any increase of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank (in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the Company shall not have arranged any Proposed New Lender(s) to commit to the shortfall from the Lender Increase Notices, then the Company shall be deemed to have reduced the amount of its Increase Notice to the aggregate amount set forth in the Lender Increase Notices. Based upon the Lender Increase Notices, any allocations made in connection therewith and any notice regarding any Proposed New Lender, if applicable, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed effective date of the amount of each Lender’s and Proposed New Lender’s portion of such tranche of Incremental Term Loans or its Revolving Loan Commitment and the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, as the case may be, which amount shall be effective on the following Business Day.

(C) Any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) the Company shall have obtained the consent thereto of any Subsidiary Guarantor and its reaffirmation of any Loan Documents executed by it, which consent and reaffirmation shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) as of the date of the Increase Notice and as of the proposed effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or tranche of Incremental Term Loans, all representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects in the case of any representation and warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) as though made on such date (unless any such representation and warranty is made as of a specific date, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects in the case of any representation and warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) as of such date) and no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, (iii) the Company shall be in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the covenants contained in Section 7.4 after giving effect to such increase or tranche, (iv) the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Proposed New Lender or Lender that shall have agreed to provide a “Revolving Loan Commitment” in support of such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or a portion of such tranche of Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, shall have executed and delivered a Commitment and Acceptance (“Commitment and Acceptance”) substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto, (v) the Administrative Agent shall have given

written notice to Steelcase SAS of any Proposed New Lender joining this Agreement as a Lender, (vi) in the case of any Proposed New Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, such Proposed New Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act and (vii) the Company and any Proposed New Lender shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments, documents, legal opinions and agreements as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with such increase or tranche. If any fee shall be charged by the Lenders in connection with any such increase or tranche, such fee shall be in accordance with then prevailing market conditions, which market conditions shall have been reasonably documented by the Administrative Agent to the Company. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or tranche of Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Company and each Lender of the effective date of such increase or tranche. Upon the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or any funding of Incremental Term Loans that is provided by a Proposed New Lender, such Proposed New Lender shall be a party to this Agreement as a Lender and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment or participate in any tranche of Incremental Term Loans hereunder at any time.

(D) The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Termination Date (but may have amortization prior to such date) and (iii) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Revolving Loans; provided that (x) the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans maturing after the Termination Date may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the Termination Date and (ii) the Incremental Term Loans may be priced differently than the Revolving Loans. Incremental Term Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment to or an amendment and restatement of (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrowers, each Lender participating in such tranche, each Proposed New Lender participating in such tranche, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22.

(E) Except in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, upon the execution and delivery of such Commitment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall reallocate any outstanding Loans ratably among the Lenders after giving effect to each such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, that the Company hereby agrees to compensate each Lender for all losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by such Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans hereunder on the terms and in the manner as set forth in Article IV.

2.23. Addition of Subsidiary Borrowers. The Company may at any time add as a party to this Agreement a Subsidiary to become a “Subsidiary Borrower” hereunder subject to (a) the consent of the Administrative Agent and one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders, (b) the receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Subsidiary would not, in its capacity as a Borrower hereunder, be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder by such Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or any Lender unless an exemption from such requirement can be obtained by such Subsidiary (with the reasonable cooperation of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders)

and that no other adverse tax, regulatory or other consequences would affect the Administrative Agent or the Lender as a result of such Subsidiary’s status as a Borrower, (c) the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a duly completed Assumption Letter by such Subsidiary, with the written consent of the Company appearing thereon and (d) the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of each other instrument, document and agreement required by Section 5.3. Upon such satisfaction of all such conditions, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a party hereto as a Subsidiary Borrower as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement.

2.24. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(A) fees payable pursuant to Section 2.14(C)(i) shall cease to accrue on the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

(B) the Revolving Loan Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any supplemental agreement effecting an amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.3); provided that this clause (B) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly adversely affected thereby;

(C) if any Swing Line Exposure or L/C Exposure is outstanding at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)    all or any part of such Swing Line Exposure and L/C Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Obligations plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure and L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at such time;

(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swing Line Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.11 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)    if the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.24(C), the Company shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.8(A) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv)    if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.24(C), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.14(C)(i) and Section 3.8(A) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ relative Pro Rata Shares; and

(v)    if any Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.24(C), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the

Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.8(A) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such L/C Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(D) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Bank shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Loan Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Company in accordance with Section 2.24(C), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.24(C)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swing Line Bank or the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swing Line Bank shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swing Line Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Company or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swing Line Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Loans and L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Line Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for each Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

3.1. Obligation to Issue Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company herein set forth, the Issuing Bank hereby agrees to issue for the account of the Company through the Issuing Bank’s branches as it and the Company may jointly agree, one or more Letters of Credit denominated in Agreed Currencies in accordance with this Article III from time to time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Business Day prior to the Termination Date (but subject to Section 3.3(B) below).

3.2. Transitional Provision. If on the Closing Date any letters of credit issued for the account of the Company prior to the Closing Date under the Existing Credit Agreement remain outstanding (“Previous Letters of Credit”) then subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, from and after the Closing Date such letters of credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Article III.

3.3. Types and Amounts. No Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to and no Issuing Bank shall:

(A) issue any Letter of Credit if on the date of issuance, before or after giving effect to the Letter of Credit requested hereunder, (i) the Dollar Amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations at such time would

exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, (ii) the aggregate outstanding Dollar Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Sublimit or (iii) the Dollar Amount of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment; or

(B) issue any Letter of Credit which has an expiration date later than the date which is the earlier of (x) one (1) year after the date of issuance thereof or (y) five (5) Business Days immediately preceding the Revolving Loan Termination Date; provided, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which in no event shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above); provided further, that any Letter of Credit may have a later expiration date (but in no event later than the date that is one year after the Revolving Loan Termination Date) so long as the Company cash collateralizes such Letter of Credit on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount thereof no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date.

3.4. Conditions. (A) In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

(i)    the Company shall have delivered to the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at such times and in such manner as the Issuing Bank may reasonably prescribe, a request for issuance of such Letter of Credit in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Request For Letter of Credit”), duly executed applications for such Letter of Credit, and such other documents, instructions and agreements as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof (all such applications, documents, instructions, and agreements being referred to herein as the “L/C Documents”), and the proposed Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank as to form and content; and

(ii)    as of the date of issuance no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuing Bank and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or the issuance of that Letter of Credit.

(B) In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any application for a Letter of Credit, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

3.5. Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.(A) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article III and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 hereof have been satisfied, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Company in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices and, in this connection, the Issuing Bank may assume that the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 hereof have been satisfied unless it shall have received notice to the contrary from the Administrative Agent or a Lender or has knowledge that the applicable conditions have not been met.

(B) The Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent written or facsimile notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the issuance of a Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not result in any liability on the part of the Issuing Bank.

(C) The Issuing Bank shall not renew, extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless the requirements of Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 are met as though a new Letter of Credit was being requested and issued.

3.6. Letter of Credit Participation. On the date of this Agreement, with respect to any Previous Letters of Credit, and immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit hereunder, each Lender shall be deemed to have automatically, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank an undivided interest and participation in and to such Letter of Credit, the obligations of the Company in respect thereof and the liability of the Issuing Bank thereunder (collectively, an “L/C Interest”) in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount available for drawing under such Letter of Credit multiplied by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share. The Issuing Bank will notify each Lender promptly upon presentation to it of an L/C Draft or upon any other draw under a Letter of Credit. On or before the Business Day on which the Issuing Bank makes payment of each such L/C Draft or, in the case of any other draw on a Letter of Credit, on demand by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, each Lender shall make payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds in the Agreed Currency in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Amount of such payment or draw. The obligation of each Lender to reimburse the Issuing Bank under this Section 3.6 shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute. In the event that any Lender fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 3.6, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall relieve such Lender of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such amount in accordance with this Section 3.6.

3.7. Reimbursement Obligation. The Company agrees unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely to pay immediately to the Issuing Bank or, if applicable, the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the amount of each advance drawn under or pursuant to a Letter of Credit or an L/C Draft related thereto (such obligation of the Company to reimburse the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent for an advance made under a Letter of Credit or L/C Draft being hereinafter referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation” with respect to such Letter of Credit or L/C Draft), each such reimbursement to be made by the Company no later than the Business Day on which the Issuing Bank makes payment of each such L/C Draft or, if the Company shall have received notice of a Reimbursement Obligation later than 9:00 a.m. (Chicago time), on any Business Day or on a day which is not a Business Day, no later than 9:00 a.m. (Chicago time), on the immediately following Business Day or, in the case of any other draw on a Letter of Credit, the date specified in the demand of the Issuing Bank. If the Company at any time fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to borrow Revolving Loans from the Lenders, as of the date of the advance giving rise to the Reimbursement Obligation, equal in amount to the Dollar Amount of the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. Such Revolving Loans shall be made as of the date of the payment giving rise to such Reimbursement Obligation, automatically, without notice and without any requirement to satisfy the conditions precedent otherwise applicable to an Advance of Revolving Loans. Such Revolving Loans shall constitute a Floating Rate Advance, the proceeds of which Advance shall be used to repay such Reimbursement Obligation. If, for any reason, the Company fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation on the day such Reimbursement Obligation arises and, for any reason, the Lenders are unable to make or have no obligation to make Revolving Loans, then such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest from and after such day, until paid in full, at the interest rate applicable to a Floating Rate Advance plus two percent (2%) per annum.

3.8. Letter of Credit Fees. The Company agrees to pay:

(A) quarterly on each Payment Date, in arrears, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders a letter of credit participation fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable L/C Fee Percentage on the average daily outstanding Dollar Amount available for drawing under each standby Letter of Credit;

(B) quarterly on each Payment Date, in arrears, to the Issuing Bank, a letter of credit fronting fee equal to 0.125 % per annum on the average daily outstanding Dollar Amount available for drawing under each standby Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank; and

(C) to the Issuing Bank, in Dollars, all customary fees and other issuance, amendment, cancellation, document examination, negotiation, transfer and presentment expenses and related charges in connection with the issuance, amendment, cancellation, presentation of L/C Drafts, negotiation, transfer and the like customarily charged by the Issuing Bank with respect to standby or commercial Letters of Credit, as applicable, payable at the time of invoice of such amounts.

Participation fees and fronting fees in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars shall be paid in Dollars, and participation fees and fronting fees in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) shall be paid in such Agreed Currency.

3.9. Issuing Bank Reporting Requirements. In addition to the notices required by Section 3.5(B), the Issuing Bank shall provide to the Administrative Agent, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, schedules, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issue, account party, Agreed Currency and amount in such Agreed Currency, expiration date and the reference number of each Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month and the aggregate amount payable by the Company during such month. In addition, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank shall furnish to the Administrative Agent copies of any Letter of Credit and any application for or reimbursement agreement with respect to a Letter of Credit to which the Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. Upon the request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent will provide to such Lender information concerning such Letters of Credit.

3.10. Indemnification; Exoneration.(A) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Article III, the Company hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender from and against any and all liabilities and costs which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than, in the case of the Issuing Bank, to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) the failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

(B) As among the Company, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, the Company assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of such Letter of Credit by, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the Letter of Credit applications and Letter of Credit reimbursement agreements executed by the Company at the time of request for any Letter of Credit, neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be responsible (in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection therewith): (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit

or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile, electronic transmission or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical trade terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, including, without limitation, any Governmental Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers under this Section 3.10.

(C) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates shall not, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank, put the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any resulting liability to the Company or relieve the Company of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.

(D) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Company hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this Section 3.10 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or replacement of, any Lender, the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit, the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and the termination of this Agreement.

3.11. Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any application for a Letter of Credit, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or upon payout or termination of this Agreement in full in cash, the Company shall, on the Business Day that it receives Administrative Agent’s demand, deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, cash (in Dollars), or other collateral of a type satisfactory to the Required Lenders, having a value, as determined by such Lenders, equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate Dollar Amount of the outstanding L/C Obligations. In addition, if the Revolving Credit Availability is at any time less than the Dollar Amount of all contingent L/C Obligations outstanding at any time, the Borrowers shall deposit cash collateral with the Administrative Agent in a Dollar Amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the Dollar Amount by which such L/C Obligations exceed such Revolving Credit Availability. Any such collateral shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a separate interest bearing account in the name of the Company appropriately designated as a cash collateral account in relation to this Agreement and the Letters of Credit and retained by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank as collateral security for the Company’s obligations in respect of this Agreement and each of the Letters of Credit. Such amounts shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings or payments under or pursuant to Letters of Credit, or if no such reimbursement is required, to payment of such of the other Obligations as the Administrative Agent shall determine. If no Default shall be continuing, amounts remaining in any cash collateral account established pursuant to this Section 3.11 which are not to be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank for amounts actually paid or to be paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit, shall be returned to the Company within one (1) Business Day (after deduction of the Administrative Agent’s expenses incurred in connection with such cash collateral account).

4.1. Yield Protection. If any Change in Law or the compliance of any Lender therewith,

(A)    subjects the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, fees, assessments, charges or withholdings, or any interest, penalties or liabilities with respect thereto (other than (A) Taxes, (B) any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, fees, assessments, charges or withholdings, or any interest, penalties or liabilities with respect thereto, excluded by the first sentence of Section 2.14(E)(i), and (C) Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or

(B)    imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in the Statutory Reserve Rate or otherwise in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans) with respect to its Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans, L/C Interests or the Letters of Credit, or

(C)    imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its Revolving Loan Commitment, the Loans, the L/C Interests or the Letters of Credit or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with Loans or Letters of Credit, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans or the L/C Interests held or interest received by it or by reference to the Letters of Credit, by an amount deemed material by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender or the Administrative Agent of making, renewing, continuing, converting, issuing or maintaining its Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans, L/C Interests or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, or to reduce any amount received under this Agreement, then, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of written demand by the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to Section 4.5, the Company shall pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount received which the Administrative Agent or such Lender determines is attributable to making, funding, renewing, continuing, converting, issuing and maintaining its Loans, L/C Interests, Letters of Credit and its Revolving Loan Commitment, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.1 incurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender’s demand therefor.

4.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or the Issuing Bank determines (i) the amount of capital or liquidity required to be maintained by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, any Lending Installation of such Lender or the Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Lender or the Issuing Bank is increased as a result of a Change in Law, and (ii) such increase in capital or liquidity will result in an increase in the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of renewing, continuing, converting, issuing or maintaining its Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans, L/C Interests, the Letters of Credit or its obligation to make Loans hereunder, as the case may be, then, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of written demand by such Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 4.5, the Company shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital or liquidity which such Lender or the Issuing Bank determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Loans, its L/C Interests, the Letters of Credit or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies as to capital adequacy and liquidity); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this

Section 4.2 incurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of the relevant Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s demand therefor.

4.3. Availability of Types of Advances.

(A) If at the time that the Administrative Agent shall seek to determine the LIBO Screen Rate on any date for any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advance the LIBO Screen Rate shall not be available for such Interest Period and/or for the applicable currency with respect to such Eurocurrency Rate Advance for any reason, and the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine that it is not possible to determine the Interpolated Rate (which conclusion shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), then (i) if such Advance shall be requested in Dollars, then such Advance shall be made as a Floating Rate Advance at the Alternate Base Rate and (ii) if such Advance shall be requested in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, the LIBO Rate shall be equal to the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion after consultation with the Company and consented to in writing by the Required Lenders (the “Alternative Rate”); provided, however, that until such time as the Alternative Rate shall be determined and so consented to by the Required Lenders, Advances shall not be available in such affected foreign currency.

(B) If (i) any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurocurrency Rate Loans or other extensions of credit at a suitable Lending Installation or to any Subsidiary Borrower would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, (ii) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate or the Eurocurrency Base Rate, as applicable, for a Loan in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period or (iii) the Required Lenders determine that (x) deposits of a type, currency or maturity appropriate to match fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans are not available or (y) the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining such an Advance, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance and, in the case of any occurrence set forth in clause (i), require any Advances of the affected Type to be repaid or converted into another Type.

4.4. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of principal on a Eurocurrency Rate Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment, or otherwise, or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan is not made or continued, or a Floating Rate Advance is not converted into a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, in any such case, on the date specified by any Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, or a Eurocurrency Rate Advance is not prepaid on the date specified by the Company or any other Borrower for any reason, or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan is assigned as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.3(C) on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, then, in any such event the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the Eurocurrency Rate Loan.

4.5. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. If reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurocurrency Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrowers to such Lender under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 or to avoid the unavailability of a Type of Advance under Section 4.3, so long as such designation is not materially disadvantageous, in the judgment of such Lender, to such Lender. Any demand for compensation pursuant to Section 2.14(E) or this Article IV shall be in writing and shall state the amount due, if any, under Section 2.14(E), 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4 and shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which the Administrative Agent or such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall

be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurocurrency Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type, currency and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 2.14(E), 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

5.1. Conditions to Closing. This Agreement shall not become effective (and the Lenders shall not be required to make the initial Loans or issue any Letters of Credit) until the date on which the Company has furnished to the Administrative Agent each of the following, with sufficient copies for the Lenders, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders:

(1)    Copies of the Certificate of Incorporation (or other comparable constituent document) of each Initial Loan Party together with all amendments and a certificate of good standing, both certified as of a recent date by the appropriate governmental officer in its jurisdiction of organization;

(5)    An opening compliance certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto and made a part hereof, signed by the Company’s chief financial officer or treasurer, but solely demonstrating compliance with the provisions of Section 7.4 as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending May 27, 2016, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

and fees under the Existing Credit Agreement; provided, that without limiting the foregoing, if, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby on the Closing Date (including, without limitation, the reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment), the Revolving Credit Obligations exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, then the Company shall prepay Loans on the Closing Date in such amounts as shall be necessary to eliminate such excess;

Without in any way limiting the foregoing, this Agreement shall not become effective unless and until it has been executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each such party has notified the Administrative Agent by facsimile or electronic transmission that it has taken such action.

5.2. Each Advance and Letter of Credit. The Lenders shall not be required to make any Advance, or issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless on the applicable Borrowing Date, or in the case of a Letter of Credit, the date on which the Letter of Credit is to be issued, amended, renewed or extended, both before and after giving effect to such Advance or Letter of Credit event:

Any Lender or the Issuing Bank may require a duly completed officer’s certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto and/or a duly completed compliance certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto as a condition to making an Advance or issuing a Letter of Credit, as the case may be.

5.3. Initial Advance to Each New Subsidiary Borrower. Without in any way limiting the applicability of the foregoing Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the Lenders shall not be required to make any Advance hereunder, or issue any Letter of Credit, in each case, to or with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower unless the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower has furnished or caused to be furnished to the Administrative Agent with sufficient copies for the Lenders:

(B) No Immunity. Neither such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower nor any of its assets is entitled to immunity from suit, execution, attachment or other legal process in connection with the enforcement of, or any dispute arising in connection with, any Loan Document to which it is a party.

conducted and if such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time shall have been made therefor or if the failure to pay such taxes, assessments and governmental charges could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(J) Loan Documents. At any time, for any reason, other than in accordance with its terms, any Loan Document ceases to be in full force and effect or the Company or any of the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries party thereto seeks to repudiate in writing its respective obligations thereunder.

If the plan administrator of any Plan applies under Section 412(c) of the Code for a waiver of the “minimum funding standard” (as defined in Section 412 of the Code) and the Required Lenders reasonably believe the substantial business hardship upon which the application for the waiver is based could reasonably be expected to subject either the Company or any Controlled Group member to liability in excess of $50,000,000.

(O) Change of Control. A Change of Control shall occur.

A Default shall be deemed “continuing” until cured or until waived in writing in accordance with Section 9.3.

9.1. Termination of Revolving Loan Commitments; Acceleration.

(A) If any Default described in Section 8.1(F) or 8.1(G) occurs with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Company expressly waives.

(B) If any proceeds of Pledged Equity are received by the Administrative Agent after a Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied ratably to the payment of the Obligations in the following order of priority: first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from the Company and its Subsidiaries, second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Company and its Subsidiaries, third, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans ratably, fourth, on a ratable basis, to repay and prepay principal on the Loans and unreimbursed L/C Drafts, fifth, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid L/C Drafts to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations and sixth, to the payment of any other Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations.

9.2. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Company to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan or issuance of such Letter of Credit shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single

or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 9.3, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full in cash.

9.3. Amendments. (A) Subject to the provisions of this Article IX and except as provided in Section 2.22 with respect to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Company may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to this Agreement or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Company hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, (x) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank and the Issuing Bank, amend any provision of Section 2.24 hereof or (y) without the consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which shall be deemed to include all Lenders in the case of clauses (iii), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) below):

(i)    Postpone or extend the Revolving Loan Termination Date or any other date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender.

(ii)    Reduce the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon; provided, however, that (a) modifications to the provisions relating to prepayments of Loans and other Obligations, (b) a waiver or other modification of the application of the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof and (c) changes in the definition of “Leverage Ratio” or any of the components thereof shall, in each case, only require the approval of the Required Lenders.

(iii)    Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or any other percentage of Lenders specified to be the applicable percentage in this Agreement to act on specified matters or amend the definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” (it being understood that, solely with the consent of the parties prescribed by Section 2.22 to be parties to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment, Incremental Term Loans may be included in the determination of Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Revolving Loans are included on the Closing Date).

(iv)    Except as permitted by Section 2.22, increase the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender hereunder.

(v)    Permit any Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement.

(vi)    Other than pursuant to a transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, release (a) the Company from its obligations under the Company Guaranty or (b) any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Material Subsidiary from its obligations under its respective Subsidiary Guaranty.

(vii)    Amend the ratable treatment among the Lenders under Section 12.2.

(viii)    Amend this Section 9.3.

(ix)    Other than as permitted by the terms of this Agreement release any of the Pledged Equity.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to (a) the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, (b) the Swing Line Bank shall be effective without the written consent of the Swing Line Bank and (c) the Issuing Bank shall be effective without the written consent of the Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 13.3(C) without obtaining the consent of any of the Lenders.

(B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to each relevant Loan Document (x) to add one or more credit facilities (in addition to the Incremental Term Loans pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment) to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans, Incremental Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders.

(C) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “all Lenders” or “each Lender directly adversely affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Company may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity (other than an Ineligible Institution) which is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 13.3, and (ii) each Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all amounts due and owing to such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans owed to such Lender, together with all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by such Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.14(E), 4.1 and 4.2, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 4.4 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

(D) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrowers only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency.

10.1. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall survive delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans herein contemplated so long as any principal, accrued interest, fees, or any other amount due and payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid (other than contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations).

10.2. Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to any Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation.

10.3. Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used in the calculation of any financial covenant or test shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder in the calculation of any financial covenant or test shall be made in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles. If any changes in generally accepted accounting principles are hereafter required or permitted and are adopted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with the agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such changes result in an adverse change (as determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion) in the method of calculation of any of the financial covenants, tests, restrictions or standards set forth in Section 7.4 hereof or in the related definitions or terms used therein (“Accounting Changes”), the parties hereto agree, at the Company’s request, to enter into negotiations, in good faith, in order to amend such provisions in a credit neutral manner so as to reflect equitably such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, that until such provisions are amended in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, no Accounting Change shall be given effect in such calculations. In the event such amendment is entered into, all references in this Agreement to Agreement Accounting Principles shall mean generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of such amendment, subject to further modification in accordance with this Section 10.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial statements to be delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect at such time. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein and (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.

10.4. Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents.

10.5. Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Borrowers the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof other than any prior agreements and understandings that are expressly stated to survive the effectiveness hereof.

10.6. Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other Lender (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

10.7. Expenses; Indemnification.(A) Expenses. The Borrowers shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arranger for any reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and time charges of outside counsel and paralegals for the Administrative Agent) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Arranger in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication, review, amendment, modification and administration of the Loan Documents. The Borrowers also agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arranger for any costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and time charges of attorneys and paralegals for the Administrative Agent and the Arranger) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Arranger in connection with the collection of the Obligations and enforcement of the Loan Documents.

(B) Indemnity. The Company further agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent the Arranger, and each and all of the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of such Administrative Agent’s, Arranger’s, Lender’s or Affiliate’s respective officers, directors, trustees, investment advisors, employees, attorneys and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article V) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), based upon its obligations, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto or to the making of the Loans, and the issuance of and participation in Letters of Credit hereunder, the management of such Loans or Letters of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters to the extent any of the foregoing is caused by or resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee. If the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Company shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.

(C) Waiver of Certain Claims; Settlement of Claims. The Company further agrees to assert no claim against any of the Indemnitees on any theory of liability seeking consequential, special, indirect, exemplary or punitive damages. No settlement shall be entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any claim, litigation, arbitration or other proceeding relating to or arising out of the transactions evidenced by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents unless such settlement releases all Indemnitees from any and all liability with respect thereto.

(D) Survival of Agreements. The obligations and agreements of the Borrowers under this Section 10.7 and each other provision hereunder or in any other Loan Document whereby the Company or any of its Subsidiaries agrees to reimburse or indemnify any Holder of Obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

10.8. Numbers of Documents. All statements, notices, closing documents and requests hereunder shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent with sufficient counterparts so that the Administrative Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders.

10.9. Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement in confidence (other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry), except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates and to other Lenders and their respective Affiliates, (ii) to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such Lender or to a Transferee, (iii) to regulatory officials, (iv) to any Person as requested pursuant to or as required by law, regulation or legal process, (v) to any Person in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any legal proceeding to which such Lender is a party, (vi) as permitted by Section 13.4, (vii) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Advances hereunder, (viii) to any other party to this Agreement, (ix) consented to by the Company or (x) to the extent such confidential information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (2) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company (it being understood that the Persons described in clauses (i) through (x) above to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such confidential information and instructed to keep such information confidential).

10.10. Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

10.11. Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrowers and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrowers.

10.12. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.13. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS; JURY TRIAL.(A) NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION.

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE ANY BORROWER AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

10.15. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, (B) such Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) such Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders and their Affiliates is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for such Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to such Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except, in the case of a Lender, those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Borrower or its Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the Lenders and their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

11.1. Appointment; Nature of Relationship. JPMorgan is appointed by the Lenders as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article XI. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement and that the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent (i) does not assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York (or any successor provision) 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.

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

11.3. General Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrowers, 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 to the extent such action or inaction is caused by or resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

11.4. No Responsibility for Loans, Creditworthiness, Recitals, Etc. Neither the Administrative 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; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article V, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent; (iv) the existence or possible existence of any Default, (v) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith or (vi) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Pledged Equity or the existence of the Pledged Equity. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or in any of the other Loan Documents for perfection or priority of the Liens on any collateral subject to the Loan Documents, the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, legality, enforceability, collectibility, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any guarantor of any or all of the Obligations, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

11.5. Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative 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 Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the event that and to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires such), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all owners of Loans. Upon receipt of any such instructions from the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the even that and to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires such), the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to act on behalf of the full principal amount of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

11.6. Employment of Administrative Agent and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents and attorney-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 Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

11.7. Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any 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 Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent.

11.8. The Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrowers for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative 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 Administrative 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 the Lenders shall be liable for the foregoing solely to the extent that the unreimbursed amount or unreimbursed expense or indemnified liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, provided, further, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing has arisen solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. The obligations and agreements of the Lenders under this Section 11.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11.9. Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans made by it and Letters of Credit issued by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”, “Issuing Bank” or “Swing Line Bank” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative 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 such Person is not prohibited hereby from engaging with any other Person.

11.10. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger 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 Administrative Agent, the Arranger 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.

11.11. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, each such successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to approval by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such successor Administrative

Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

11.12. No Duties Imposed Upon Other Agents or Arranger. No Person identified on the cover page to this Agreement, the signature pages to this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as a “Co-Syndication Agent”, “Documentation Agent” or an “Arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than if such Person is a Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, no Person identified on the cover page to this Agreement, the signature pages to this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as a “Co-Syndication Agent”, “Documentation Agent” or an “Arranger” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary duty to or fiduciary relationship with any Lender. In addition to the agreement set forth in Section 11.10, each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Person so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

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

11.14. Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrowers and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under terms of this Agreement.

11.15. Authority with Respect to Guarantees.

(A) Authority to Take Action. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each Guaranty if a signature thereon becomes necessary, and to take all action contemplated by such document, including, without limitation, all enforcement actions. Each Lender agrees that no Holder of Obligations (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to independently enforce any Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Obligations upon the terms of the applicable Guaranty. In furtherance and without limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and given a power of attorney by and on behalf of each of the Holders of Obligations to execute any Guaranty, if necessary.

(B) Authority to Release Guarantors. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.2(J), the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any guarantor from its obligations under any of the Guarantees (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (which

satisfaction, in the case of outstanding Letters of Credit, may take the form of a backstop letter of credit from an issuer acceptable to the Administrative Agent or cash collateral); (ii) in connection with any transaction which is permitted by this Agreement or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular guarantors pursuant to this Section 11.15(B). Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.2(J), a Subsidiary Guarantor shall, without further action, be released from its obligations under its respective Subsidiary Guaranty if such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company in connection with a transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement and, both before and after giving effect to such cessation, no Default or Unmatured Default exists.

11.16. Authority with Respect to Pledge Agreements.

(A) Authority to Enter into Pledge Agreements. In such capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Holders of Obligations within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Pledge Agreements to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Holders of Obligations (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Pledge Agreement, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Obligations upon the terms of the Pledge Agreements. In the event that any Pledged Equity is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Holders of Obligations any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Pledged Equity in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Holders of Obligations.

(B) Authority to Release Pledged Equity. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.2(J), the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Pledged Equity (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (which satisfaction, in the case of outstanding Letters of Credit, may take the form of a backstop letter of credit from an issuer acceptable to the Administrative Agent or cash collateral); (ii) in connection with any transaction which is permitted by this Agreement or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 11.16(C). Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.2(J), upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Company to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Obligations herein or pursuant hereto upon the Pledged Equity if the relevant Pledged Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company in connection with a transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement and, both before and after giving effect to such cessation, no Default or Unmatured Default exists.

12.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Default occurs and is continuing, any Indebtedness from any Lender to any Borrower (including

all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due (provided, however, that no deposits of the Traditional Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers or Indebtedness held by or owing to the Traditional Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers shall be offset by any Lender and applied towards the Obligations incurred solely by or on behalf of the Company, any Domestic Subsidiary Borrower or any Special Foreign Subsidiary Borrower).

12.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 2.14(E), 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable share of the Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to the obligations owing to them. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

12.3. Relations Among Lenders.    (A) Except with respect to the exercise of set-off rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 12.1, the proceeds of which are applied in accordance with this Agreement, and except as set forth in the following sentence, each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against any Borrower or any other obligor hereunder or with respect to any Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or, as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, at the direction of the Administrative Agent.

(B) The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce on the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

12.4. Representations and Covenants Among Lenders. Each Lender represents and covenants for the benefit of all other Lenders and the Administrative Agent that such Lender is not satisfying and shall not satisfy any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement with any assets considered for any purposes of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code to be assets of or on behalf of any “plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, regardless of whether subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

13.1. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3, and (iii) any transfer by Participants must be made in compliance with Section 13.2. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 13.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with Section 13.3(B). The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 13.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 13.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation (x) any pledge or assignment by any

Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any promissory note issued hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank, (y) in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any promissory note issued hereunder to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee or (z) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any promissory note issued hereunder to direct or indirect contractual counterparties in interest rate swap agreements relating to the Loans; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 13.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Revolving Loan or which holds any promissory note issued hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 13.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Revolving Loan or which holds any promissory note issued hereunder to direct payments relating to such Revolving Loan or promissory note issued hereunder to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Revolving Loan or any promissory note issued hereunder agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a promissory note has been issued hereunder in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

13.2. Participations.(A) Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (other than an Ineligible Institution) (“Participants”) participating interests in any Revolving Credit Obligations of such Lender, any promissory note issued hereunder held by such Lender, any Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Revolving Credit Obligations and the holder of any promissory note issued to it hereunder in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, except that, for purposes of Article IV and Section 2.14(E) hereof, the Participants shall be entitled to the same rights as if they were Lenders; provided, however, no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Article IV hereof than such Participant’s transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred had no such transfer occurred, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable Participation.

(B) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Revolving Loan Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 9.3.

(C) Benefit of Certain Provisions. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided

in Section 12.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 12.2 as if each Participant were a Lender. Each Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14(E), Article IV and Section 10.7 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14(E), Article IV or Section 10.7 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation and (ii) any Participant agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 2.14(E) and Article IV to the same extent as if it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Loan Commitments or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Loan Commitment or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

13.3. Assignments.    (A) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities (other than an Ineligible Institution) (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be evidenced by (x) an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto (each such agreement, an “Assignment Agreement”) or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment Agreement by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment Agreement are participants. Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall, unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company, either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable Revolving Loan Commitment and Revolving Credit Obligations of the assigning Lender or (unless each of the Company (so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000. The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Revolving Loan Commitment and Revolving Credit Obligations subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the “Trade Date,” if the “Trade Date” is specified in (x) the Assignment Agreement or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment Agreement by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment Agreement are participants.

(B) Consents. The consent of the Company shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, provided that the consent of the Company shall not be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing, and provided further that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof. The consent of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank

shall be required prior to any assignment becoming effective. Any consent required under this Section 13.3(B) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(C) Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of (x) an Assignment Agreement or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment Agreement by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment Agreement are participants, together with any consents required by Sections 13.3(A) and 13.3(B), and (ii) payment by the Purchaser or the assigning Lender of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent or unless such assignment is made to such assigning Lender’s Affiliate), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The Assignment Agreement shall contain a representation and warranty by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the funds, money, assets or other consideration used to make the purchase and assumption of the Revolving Loan Commitment and Revolving Credit Obligations under the applicable Assignment Agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights, benefits and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights, benefits and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Revolving Credit Obligations assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by the Borrowers, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the Loan Documents. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.3 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.2. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.3(C), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by promissory notes, make appropriate arrangements so that, upon cancellation and surrender to the Borrowers of the previously issued promissory notes (if any) held by the transferor Lender, new promissory notes issued hereunder or, as appropriate, replacement promissory notes are issued to such transferor Lender, if applicable, and new promissory notes or, as appropriate, replacement promissory notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Revolving Loan Commitments (or, if the Revolving Loan Termination Date has occurred, their respective Revolving Credit Obligations), as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

(D) The Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an Administrative Agent of the Borrowers (and the Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent to act in such capacity), shall maintain at one of its offices in Chicago, Illinois a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts of and interest on the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or assignee of another Lender pursuant to an assignment under this Section 13.3. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

13.4. Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, Purchaser or other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound in writing by Section 10.9 of this Agreement.

13.5. Tax Certifications. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 2.14(E) and Article IV.

14.1. Giving Notice.

Each Lender may change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the Company and the Administrative Agent.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the other Borrowers hereunder, the Company hereby absolutely and irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the payment when and as due of the Obligations. The Company further agrees that the due and punctual payment of such Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any such Obligation. The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability they incur as a result of any Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by such Borrower under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document on the date when it would have been due (but so that the amount payable by the Company under this indemnity will not exceed the amount which it would have had to pay under this Article XVI if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee).

The Company waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document

or agreement; (d) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations; (e) the failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations, if any; (f) any change in the corporate, partnership or other existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Obligations; (g) the enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Borrower or any guarantor of any of the Obligations, for any reason related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation of any jurisdiction purporting to prohibit the payment by such Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations, of any of the Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of the Obligations; or (h) any other act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Company or otherwise operate as a discharge of a guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of the Company to subrogation.

The Company further agrees that its agreement hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person.

The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise.

The Company further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall constitute a continuing and irrevocable guarantee of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded, or is or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement in connection with such insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization entered into by a holder of the Obligations in its discretion).

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have at law or in equity against any Borrower by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any other Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, subject to any applicable grace or notice and cure period, the Company hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Company further agrees that if payment in respect of any Obligation shall be due in a currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York, Chicago or any other Eurocurrency Payment Office and if, by reason of any Change in Law, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or other event, payment of such Obligation in such currency or at such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in any material respect, then, at the election of the

Administrative Agent, the Company shall make payment of such Obligation in Dollars (based upon the applicable Equivalent Amount in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, Chicago or such other Eurocurrency Payment Office as is designated by the Administrative Agent and, as a separate and independent obligation, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and any Lender against any losses or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.

Upon payment by the Company of any sums as provided above, all rights of the Company against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations owed by the Company to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders.

Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of the Company hereunder except the full performance and payment in cash of the Obligations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
