 ARTICLE II 
 TERMS OF THE CREDIT FACILITIES 
  
 Part A — Terms of Lending 
  
 Section 2.1
Revolving Credit. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each Bank severally agrees to make a revolving credit facility available as loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to
the Borrowers, jointly and severally, on a revolving basis at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date to the Termination Date, during which period the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow in accordance with the provisions hereof,
provided, that no Revolving Loan will be made in any amount which, after giving effect thereto, would cause the Total Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts. Revolving Loans hereunder shall be made by the several
Banks ratably in the proportion of their respective Revolving Commitments Amounts. Revolving Loans may be obtained and maintained, at the election of the Borrowers’ Agent but subject to the limitations hereof, as Prime Rate Advances or
Eurodollar Rate Advances; provided, however, that no more than ten (10) Eurodollar Rate Advances in respect of the Revolving Loans may be outstanding at any one time. 
  
 Section 2.2 Procedure for Revolving Loans. Any request by the Borrowers’ Agent for Revolving Loans hereunder
shall be in writing or by telephone and must be given so as to be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) two Eurodollar Business Days prior to the requested Revolving Loan Date if the Revolving Loans (or any portion
thereof) are requested as Eurodollar Rate Advances and not later than 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) on the requested Revolving Loan Date if the Revolving Loans are requested as Prime Rate Advances. Each request for Revolving Loans hereunder shall be
irrevocable and shall be deemed a representation by the Borrowers that on the requested Revolving Loan Date and after giving effect to the requested Revolving Loans the applicable conditions specified in Article III have been and will be satisfied.
Each request for Revolving Loans hereunder shall specify (i) the requested Revolving Loan Date, (ii) the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans to be made on such date which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000
for amounts greater than such minimum (or an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the available Commitments or the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Loans being repaid from a Borrowing on a Swing Line Conversion
Date) or, if more, an integral multiple thereof, (iii) whether such Revolving Loans are to be funded as Prime Rate Advances or Eurodollar Rate Advances (and, if such Revolving Loans are to be made with more than one applicable interest rate choice,
specifying the amount to which each interest rate choice is applicable), and (iv) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto. The Agent may rely on any telephone request by the
Borrowers’ Agent for Revolving Loans hereunder which it believes in good faith to be genuine; and the Borrowers hereby waive the right to dispute the Agent’s record of the terms of such telephone request. The Agent shall promptly notify
each other Bank of the receipt of such request, the matters specified therein, and of such Bank’s ratable share of the requested Revolving Loans. On the date of the requested Revolving Loans, each Bank shall provide its share of the requested
Revolving Loans to the Agent in Immediately Available Funds not later than 1:00 p.m. Minneapolis time. Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Agent will make available to the
Borrowers at the Agent’s principal office in Minneapolis, Minnesota in Immediately Available Funds not later than 4:00 p.m. (Minneapolis time) on the requested Revolving Loan Date the amount of the 

  

 - 18 - 








 
requested Revolving Loans. If the Agent has made a Revolving Loan to the Borrowers on behalf of a Bank but has not received the amount of such Revolving Loan
from such Bank by the time herein required, such Bank shall pay interest to the Agent on the amount so advanced at the overnight Federal Funds rate from the date of such Revolving Loan to the date funds are received by the Agent from such Bank, such
interest to be payable with such remittance from such Bank of the principal amount of such Revolving Loan (provided, however, that the Agent shall not make any Revolving Loan on behalf of a Bank if the Agent has received prior notice from such Bank
that it will not make such Revolving Loan). If the Agent does not receive payment from such Bank by the next Business Day after the date of any Revolving Loan, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such Revolving Loan, with interest thereon at the
rate (or rates) then applicable to the such Revolving Loan, on demand, from the Borrowers, without prejudice to the Agent’s and the Borrowers’s rights against such Bank. If such Bank pays the Agent the amount herein required with interest
at the overnight Federal Funds rate before the Agent has recovered from the Borrowers, such Bank shall be entitled to the interest payable by the Borrowers with respect to the Revolving Loan in question accruing from the date the Agent made such
Revolving Loan.

the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Swing Line Bank agrees to lend to the Borrowers from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to but not including the Termination Date, such sums (the “Swing Line Loans”) as

Loans exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts, 
  
 (ii) the aggregate outstanding Swing Line Loans shall at no time exceed the Swing Line Commitment, and

 (b) Any request by the Borrowers’ Agent for a Swing Line Loan hereunder shall be in writing or by telephone and must be given so as to be received by the Swing Line Bank not later than 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) on the Business Day
such Swing Line Loan is to be made, specifying in each case (1) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 for amounts greater than such minimum, (2) the requested borrowing date, and
(3) whether such Swing Line Loan is to be funded as a Prime Rate Advance or an Alternate Advance. Each request for a Swing Line Loan hereunder shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed a representation by the Borrowers that on the requested borrowing
date and after giving effect to the requested Swing Line Loan the applicable conditions specified in Article III 

  

 - 19 - 








 
have been and will be satisfied. The Swing Line Bank may rely on any telephone request for Swing Line Loans by the Borrowers’ Agent hereunder which it
believes in good faith to be genuine; and the Borrowers hereby waive the right to dispute the Swing Line Bank’s record of the terms of such telephone request. Unless the Swing Line Bank determines that any applicable condition specified in
Article III has not been satisfied, the Swing Line Bank will make available to the Borrowers at the Swing Line Bank’s principal office in Minneapolis, Minnesota in Immediately Available Funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (Minneapolis time) on the
requested borrowing date the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan.

intends to repay a Swing Line Loan (each, a “Swing Line Conversion Date”) give notice to the Agent requesting a Prime Rate Advance in an aggregate amount equal to the principal amount of all outstanding Swing Line Loans outstanding as of
the end of the immediately preceding day (other than Swing Line Loans that are to be prepaid on such Swing Line Conversion Date with funds of the Borrowers or from the proceeds of a Eurodollar Rate Advance for which notice was given to the Agent no
later than 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) at least two Eurodollar Business Days prior to such Swing Line Conversion Date but including any Swing Line Loans funded as Alternate Advances) and, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
specified in Article III, the Banks shall, on the Swing Line Conversion Date, make a Prime Rate Advance (and/or Eurodollar Rate Advance, as the case may be) in an aggregate amount equal to the principal amount of all outstanding Swing Line Loans as
of the end of the immediately preceding day, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Agent to repay the Swing Line Bank for Swing Line Loans outstanding (less the amount of any Swing Line Loans that are to be repaid on such Swing Line
Conversion Date from funds of the Borrowers); provided, however, that if for any reason the proceeds of any such Advance(s) or such other funds of the Borrowers are not received by the Swing Line Bank on a Swing Line Conversion Date in
an aggregate amount equal to the principal amount of all outstanding Swing Line Loans as of the end of the immediately preceding day, the Borrowers shall reimburse the Swing Line Bank on the Business Day immediately following such Swing Line
Conversion Date, in Immediately Available Funds, in an amount equal to the excess of the principal amount of all Swing Line Loans outstanding on the day immediately preceding such Swing Line Conversion Date over the aggregate amount of such
Advance(s), if any, received. 
  
 (d) In the
event that the Swing Line Loans outstanding as of the end of the day immediately preceding the Termination Date are not repaid on the Termination Date, each Bank shall be deemed to have purchased participating interests in the Swing Line Loans
existing as of the Termination Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans multiplied by such Bank’s Revolving Percentage. The Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the unpaid amount of the Swing Line Loans and of such


  

 - 20 - 








 
Bank’s respective participation therein. Each Bank shall make available to the Agent for payment to the Swing Line Bank an amount equal to its
respective participation therein (including without limitation its pro rata share of accrued but unpaid interest thereon), in same day funds, at the office of the Agent specified in such notice, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time), on the
Business Day after the date the Agent so notifies each Bank. In the event that any Bank fails to make available to the Agent the amount of such Bank’s participation in such unpaid amount as provided herein, the Swing Line Bank shall be entitled
to recover such amount on demand from such Bank together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for each day during the period between the Termination Date and the date on which such Bank makes available its
participation in such unpaid amount. The failure of any Bank to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any such unpaid amount shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations hereunder to make available to the Agent its pro rata share
of such unpaid amount on the Termination Date. The Agent shall distribute to each Bank which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.3(d) with respect to the unpaid amount of any Swing Line Loan, such Bank’s pro rata share of
all payments received by the Agent from the Borrower in repayment of such Swing Line Loan when such payments are received. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Bank which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.3(d)
shall have a direct right to repayment of such amounts from the Borrowers subject to the procedures for repaying Banks set forth in this Section 2.3. 
  
 (e) In the event the Revolving Commitments are terminated in accordance with Section 2.14, the Swing Line Commitment shall terminate
automatically. In the event the Borrowers reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts to less than the Swing Line Commitment, the Swing Line Commitment shall immediately be reduced to an amount equal to the Aggregate Revolving Commitment
Amounts. In the event the Borrowers reduces the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts to less than the outstanding Swing Line Loans, the Borrowers shall immediately repay the amount by which the outstanding Swing Line Loans exceed the Swing Line
Commitment as so reduced. 
  
 (f) Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, each Swing Line Loan then outstanding shall automatically be converted to a Revolving Loan (which shall be a Prime Rate Advance) in an aggregate amount equal to the principal amount of all outstanding Swing Line
Loans outstanding as of the end of the immediately preceding day. Each Bank shall be deemed to have purchased participating interests in such Revolving Loan in an amount equal to the amount of such Revolving Loan multiplied by such Bank’s
Revolving Percentage. The Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the unpaid amount of the Swing Line Loans and of such Bank’s respective participation in the Revolving Loan. Each Bank shall make available to the Agent for payment to the Swing
Line Bank an amount equal to its respective participation therein (including without limitation its pro rata share of accrued but unpaid interest thereon), in same day funds, at the office of the Agent specified in such notice, not later than 11:00
a.m. 

  

 - 21 - 









	 	 
(Minneapolis time), on the Business Day after the date the Agent so notifies each Bank. In the event that any Bank fails to make available to the Agent the
amount of such Bank’s participation in such unpaid amount on such date (the “Swing Line Default Payment Date”) as provided herein, the Swing Line Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank together with
interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for each day during the period between the Swing Line Default Payment Date and the date on which such Bank makes available its participation in such unpaid amount. The failure of
any Bank to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any such unpaid amount shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations hereunder to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of such unpaid amount on the Swing Line Default
Payment Date. The Agent shall distribute to each Bank which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.3(f) with respect to the unpaid amount of any converted Swing Line Loan, such Bank’s pro rata share of all payments received by
the Agent from the Borrower in repayment of such converted Swing Line Loan when such payments are received. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Bank which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.3(f) shall have a
direct right to repayment of such amounts from the Borrowers subject to the procedures for repaying Banks set forth in this Section 2.3. 


  
 (g) Each Bank’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and Section 2.3(f) in the amount required
under such section shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against any other Bank or
the Borrowers, or the Borrowers may have against any Bank or any other Person, as the case may be, for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial
or otherwise) of the Borrowers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by any party hereto; (v) the failure to satisfy any condition to the making of any Loan hereunder; or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing.

Each Bank shall enter in its ledgers and records the amount of each Revolving Loan, the various Advances made, converted or continued and the payments made thereon, and each Bank is authorized by the Borrowers to enter on a schedule attached to its
Revolving Note, as appropriate, a record of such Revolving Loans, Advances and payments; provided, however that the failure by any Bank to make any such entry or any error in making such entry shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of
the Borrowers hereunder and on the Notes, and, in all events, the principal amounts owing by the 

  

 - 22 - 








 
Borrowers in respect of the Revolving Notes shall be the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loans made by the Banks less all payments of principal thereof
made by the Borrowers. 
  
 Section 2.5 Conversions and
Continuations. On the terms and subject to the limitations hereof, the Borrowers shall have the option at any time and from time to time to convert all or any portion of the Advances into Prime Rate Advances or Eurodollar Rate Advances, or to
continue a Eurodollar Rate Advance as such; provided, however that a Eurodollar Rate Advance may be converted or continued only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and no Advance may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar
Rate Advance if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the proposed date of continuation or conversion. Advances may be converted to, or continued as, Eurodollar Rate Advances only in integral multiples, as to the aggregate
amount of the Advances of all Banks so converted or continued, of $500,000. The Borrowers’ Agent shall give the Agent written notice of any continuation or conversion of any Advances and such notice must be given so as to be received by the
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) two Eurodollar Business Days prior to requested date of conversion or continuation in the case of the continuation of, or conversion to, Eurodollar Rate Advances and on the date of the requested
conversion to Prime Rate Advances. Each such notice shall specify (a) the amount to be continued or converted, (b) the date for the continuation or conversion (which must be (i) the last day of the preceding Interest Period for any continuation or
conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances, and (ii) a Eurodollar Business Day in the case of continuations as or conversions to Eurodollar Rate Advances and a Business Day in the case of conversions to Prime Rate Advances), and (c) in the case of
conversions to or continuations as Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Interest Period applicable thereto. Any notice given by the Borrowers’ Agent under this Section shall be irrevocable. If the Borrowers’ Agent shall fail to notify the Agent
of the continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Advances within the time required by this Section, at the option of the Agent, such Advances shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (y) automatically be continued as Eurodollar
Rate Advances with the same Interest Period or (z) automatically be converted into Prime Rate Advances. All conversions and continuation of Advances must be made uniformly and ratably among the Banks.

the Majority Banks, bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the higher of (A) the rate applicable to such Advance but for the provisions of this clause (iii) plus 2.0% and (B) the Prime Rate plus 2.0%. 

 
 (iv) Interest shall be payable (A) with respect to each
Eurodollar Rate Advance having an Interest Period of three months or less, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; (B) with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance having an Interest Period greater than three months, on the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and on each day that would have been the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance had successive Interest Periods of three months duration been applicable to such Advance; (C) with respect to any
Prime Rate Advance, on the last day of each month; (D) upon any permitted prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance (on the amount prepaid); (E) with respect to all Advances, on the Termination Date; provided that interest under paragraph (a)(iii) of
this Section shall be payable on demand. 
  
 (b)
Swing Line Loans. Interest shall accrue and be payable on the Swing Line Loans as follows: 
  
 (i) Each Prime Rate Advance shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a varying rate per annum equal to the sum of (A)

Prepayment. 
  
 (a) Repayment Terms.
The unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. 
  

(b) Pay Down of Revolving Loans. In addition to all other payments upon the Revolving Loans required by this Agreement, the
Borrowers shall cause the aggregate unpaid principal balance of Revolving Outstandings to be reduced to zero for a period of not less than thirty (30) consecutive days during each twelve-month period beginning on July 1 of each year commencing with
the period from July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005. 
  

 - 24 - 








 (c) Other Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 (i) If at any time Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the
Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts, the Borrowers shall immediately repay to the Agent for the account of the Banks the amount of such excess. Any such payments shall be applied first against Prime Rate Advances, then to Alternate Advances and
then to Eurodollar Rate Advances in order starting with the Eurodollar Rate Advances having the shortest time to the end of the applicable Interest Period. If, after payment of all outstanding Advances, the Total Revolving Outstandings still exceed
the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts, the remaining amount paid by the Borrowers shall be placed in the Holding Account. 
  
 (ii) The Borrowers shall make mandatory principal prepayments of the Revolving Loans in the manner set forth in Section 8.10 in amounts
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from any offering of capital stock or other equity interest greater than $10,000,000 by any Borrower or any Subsidiary on the third (3rd) Business Day following receipt by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds. This provision shall not be deemed to permit any Investment by
any Borrower or any Subsidiary not otherwise permitted hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.8 Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may prepay Prime Rate Advances and Alternate Advances, in whole or in part, at any time, without premium or penalty. The Borrowers may prepay Eurodollar Rate Advances, in whole or in
part, at any time; provided that, upon such prepayment, the Borrowers shall pay to the Banks the amounts, if any, required pursuant to Section 2.25. Any prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid and
be made by the Borrowers not later than 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) on the date the Borrowers wish such prepayment to become effective. Each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate minimum amount for all the Banks of $1,000,000 and integral
multiples of $500,000 for amounts greater than such minimum. Except upon an acceleration following an Event of Default or upon termination of the Revolving Commitments in whole, the Borrowers may pay Eurodollar Rate Advances only on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto. Amounts paid (unless following an acceleration or upon termination of the Revolving Commitments in whole) or prepaid on Advances on the Revolving Loans under this Section may be reborrowed upon the terms and
subject to the conditions and limitations of this Agreement. Amounts paid or prepaid on the Revolving Loans under this Section shall be for the account of each Bank in proportion to its share of outstanding Revolving Loans. 
  
 Part B — Terms of the Letter of Credit Facility 
  
 Section 2.9 Letters of Credit. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, the LC Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers from time to time between the Closing Date and the Termination Date in such amounts as the 

  

 - 25 - 








 
Borrowers’ Agent shall request up to an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not exceeding the Total Letter of Credit Commitment Amount; provided
that no Letter of Credit will be issued in any amount which, after giving effect to such issuance, would cause Total Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary,
each letter of credit issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement that is currently outstanding and identified on Schedule 2.9 hereto shall constitute a Letter of Credit hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.10 Procedures for Letters of Credit. Each request for a Letter of Credit shall be made by the
Borrowers’ Agent in writing, by telex, facsimile transmission or electronic conveyance received by the LC Bank and the Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) on a Business Day which is not less than one Business Day preceding the requested date
of issuance (which shall also be a Business Day). Each request for a Letter of Credit shall be deemed a representation by the Borrowers that on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and after giving effect thereto the conditions specified in
Article III have been and will be satisfied. The LC Bank may require that such request be made on such letter of credit application and reimbursement agreement form as the LC Bank may from time to time specify, along with satisfactory evidence of
the authority and incumbency of the officials of the Borrowers’ Agent making such request. The LC Bank shall promptly notify the Agent and other Banks of the receipt of the request and the matters specified therein. On the date of each issuance
of a Letter of Credit the LC Bank shall send notice to the other Banks of such issuance, accompanied by a copy of the Letter or Letters of Credit so issued. 
  
 Section 2.11 Terms of Letters of Credit. Letters of Credit shall be issued in support of obligations of the Borrowers. All Letters of Credit must
expire not later than 364 days from the date of issuance (subject to renewal). As to each Letter of Credit that will be outstanding as of the Revolving Commitment Ending Date or as of the termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14, no
further renewal of any such Letter of Credit shall occur, and the Borrower shall provide prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (i) cash collateral in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the LC Bank, or (ii) one or more irrevocable letters
of credit in form and substance, and issued by a bank, reasonably satisfactory to the LC Bank pursuant to which the LC Bank is entitled to recover the maximum amount at any time payable under such Letter of Credit, plus all costs and fees then or
thereafter payable with respect to such Letter of Credit under the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 Section 2.12 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. If the LC Bank has received documents purporting to draw under a Letter of Credit that the LC Bank believes conform to the requirements of the Letter
of Credit, or if the LC Bank has decided that it will comply with the Borrowers’ Agent’s written or oral request or authorization to pay a drawing on any Letter of Credit that the LC Bank does not believe conforms to the requirements of
the Letter of Credit, it will notify the Borrowers’ Agent of that fact. The Borrowers shall reimburse the LC Bank by 9:30 a.m. (Minneapolis time) on the day on which such drawing is to be paid in Immediately Available Funds in an amount equal
to the amount of such drawing. Any amount by which the Borrowers have failed to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of such 

  

 - 26 - 








 
drawing by 10:00 a.m. on the date on which the LC Bank in its notice indicated that it would pay such drawing, until reimbursed from the proceeds of Loans
pursuant to Section 2.15 or out of funds available in the Holding Account, is an “Unpaid Drawing.” 
  
 Section 2.13 Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers under Section 2.12 to repay the LC Bank for any amount drawn on any Letter of
Credit and to repay the Banks for any Revolving Loans made under Section 2.15 to cover Unpaid Drawings shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, shall continue for so long as any Letter of Credit is outstanding notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation the following circumstances: 
  
 (a) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit; 
  
 (b) The existence of any claim,
setoff, defense or other right which the Borrowers may have or claim at any time against any beneficiary, transferee or holder of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary, transferee or holder may be acting), the LC Bank or
any Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with a Letter of Credit, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or any unrelated transaction; or 
  
 (c) Any statement or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever. 
  
 Neither the LC Bank nor any Bank nor officers, directors or employees of any thereof shall be liable or responsible for, and the obligations of the Borrowers to the LC
Bank and the Banks shall not be impaired by: 
  
 (i) The use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or for any acts or omissions of any beneficiary, transferee or holder thereof in connection therewith; 
  
 (ii) The validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsements thereon, even if such
documents or endorsements should, in fact, prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; 
  
 (iii) The acceptance by the LC Bank of documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; or 
  
 (iv) Any other action of the LC Bank in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit if in good faith and in conformity with U.S. or foreign laws, regulations or customs applicable thereto. 

 

 - 27 - 








 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall have a claim against the LC Bank, and the LC Bank shall be liable to
the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove were caused by the LC Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining
whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. 
  
 Part C — General 
  
 Section 2.14 Optional Reduction of Revolving Commitment Amounts or Termination of Revolving Commitments. The Borrowers may, at any time, upon not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Agent from the
Borrowers’ Agent, reduce the Revolving Commitment Amounts, ratably, with any such reduction in a minimum aggregate amount for all the Banks of $5,000,000, or, if more, in an integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided, however, that
the Borrowers may not at any time reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts below the Total Revolving Outstandings. The Borrowers may, at any time when there are no Letters of Credit outstanding, upon not less than three (3) Business Days
prior written notice to the Agent from the Borrowers’ Agent, terminate the Revolving Commitments in their entirety. Upon termination of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section, the Swing Line Commitment shall terminate automatically
and the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks the full amount of all outstanding Advances for Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all unpaid Revolving Commitment Fees accrued to the
date of such termination, any indemnities payable with respect to Advances pursuant to Section 2.24 and all other unpaid Obligations of the Borrowers to the Agent and the Banks hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.15 Loans to Cover Unpaid Drawings. Whenever any Unpaid Drawing exists for which there are not then funds in
the Holding Account to cover the same, the Agent shall give the other Banks notice to that effect, specifying the amount thereof, in which event each Bank is authorized (and the Borrowers do here so authorize each Bank) to, and shall, make a
Revolving Loan (as a Prime Rate Advance) to the Borrowers in an amount equal to such Bank’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of the Unpaid Drawing. The Agent shall notify each Bank by 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) on the date such Unpaid
Drawing occurs of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Bank. Notices received after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Each Bank shall then make such Revolving Loans (regardless of noncompliance
with the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article III hereof and regardless of whether an Event of Default then exists) and each Bank shall provide the Agent with the proceeds of such Revolving Loan in Immediately Available Funds, at the
office of the Agent, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Minneapolis time) on the day on which such Bank received such notice (or, in the case of notices received after 11:00 a.m., Minneapolis time, is deemed to have received such notice). The Agent shall
apply the proceeds of such Revolving Loans directly to reimburse the LC Bank for such Unpaid Drawing. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Agent should be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrowers from the LC Bank in bankruptcy, by
assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared between and among the Banks in the manner 

  

 - 28 - 








 
contemplated by Section 8.10 hereof. If at the time the Banks make funds available to the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the applicable
conditions precedent specified in Article III shall not have been satisfied, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks interest on the funds so advanced at a floating rate per annum equal to the sum of the Prime Rate plus the
Applicable Margin for Prime Rate Advances plus two percent (2.00%). If for any reason any Bank is unable to make a Revolving Loan to the Borrowers to reimburse the LC Bank for an Unpaid Drawing, then such Bank shall immediately purchase from the LC
Bank a risk participation in such Unpaid Drawing, at par, in an amount equal to such Bank’s Revolving Percentage of the Unpaid Drawing. 
  
 Section 2.16 Fees. 
  
 (a) Revolving Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank fees (the “Revolving
Commitment Fees”) in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Fee Percentage times (ii) the average daily Unused Revolving Commitment (but excluding the Swing Line Commitment, Commercial Letters of Credit and Standby Letters
of Credit) of such Bank as of the last day of each quarter. Such Revolving Commitment Fees are payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each quarter and on the Termination Date. 
  
 (b) Agency Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent the fees set forth in the separate letter
agreement dated as of the date hereof between the Agent and the Borrowers’ Agent. Such fees shall be paid on the Closing Date and at such other times as may be required pursuant to the terms of such letter agreement. 
  
 (c) Standby Letter of Credit Fees. For each Standby
Letter of Credit issued, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Applicable LC Fee Percentage multiplied by (ii) the amount available
to be drawn under such Standby Letter of Credit from time to time for the period from the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit to the expiration of such Standby Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be payable in arrears quarterly on the
last day of each quarter, commencing with the first such date after the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit, and on the expiration date of such Standby Letter of Credit. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee, the Borrowers shall pay to the
LC Bank, on demand, all issuance, amendment, drawing and other fees regularly charged by the LC Bank to its letter of credit customers and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the LC Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, administration
or payment of any Letter of Credit. 
  
 (d)
Commercial Letter of Credit Fees. For each Commercial Letter of Credit issued, the Borrowers shall pay to the LC Bank an amount agreed upon by the LC Bank and the Borrowers. 
  
 Section 2.17 Computation. Computation of interest on Prime Rate Advances shall be calculated on the basis of a year
of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of 

  

 - 29 - 








 
days elapsed. Computation of all other types of interest and all fees shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and a year of 360 days.

  
 Section 2.18 Payments. Payments and prepayments of
principal of, and interest on, the Notes and all fees, expenses and other obligations under this Agreement payable to the Agent or the Banks shall be made without setoff or counterclaim in Immediately Available Funds not later than 9:30 a.m.
(Minneapolis time) on the dates called for under this Agreement and the Notes to the Agent at its main office in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Funds received after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Agent will
promptly distribute in like funds to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment of principal, interest and fees received by the Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or on the Notes shall be stated to be
due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time, in the case of a payment of principal, shall be included in the computation of any interest on such principal
payment; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of a Eurodollar Rate Advance to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the first preceding Business Day.

  
 Section 2.19 Use of Loan Proceeds. The proceeds of the
Revolving Loans shall be used for the Borrowers’ general business purposes, including working capital support, in a manner not in conflict with any of the Borrowers’ covenants in this Agreement, and to (i) refinance Swing Line Loans as
provided in subsection 2.3(c) and (ii) pay off Unpaid Drawings as provided in subsection 2.15. 
  
 Section 2.20 Interest Rate Not Ascertainable, Etc. If, on or prior to the date for determining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in respect of the Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advance, any Bank determines
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding, absent error) that: 
  
 (a) deposits in dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being made available to such Bank in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or 
  
 (b) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Bank of funding or
maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, 
  
 such Bank shall
forthwith give notice to the Borrowers’ Agent and the other Banks of such determination, whereupon the obligation of such Bank to make or continue, or to convert any Advances to, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until such Bank
notifies the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist. While any such suspension continues, all further Advances by such Bank shall be made as Prime Rate Advances. No such suspension
shall affect the interest rate then in effect during the applicable Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advance outstanding at the time such suspension is imposed. 
  

 - 30 - 








 Section 2.21 Increased Cost. If any Regulatory Change: 
  
 (a) shall subject any Bank (or its Applicable Lending
Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Eurodollar Rate Advances, its Notes or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or shall change the basis of taxation of payment to any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of
the principal of or interest on its Eurodollar Rate Advances or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Eurodollar Rate Advances or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances (except for changes in the rate of tax on the
overall net income of such Bank or its Applicable Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Bank’s principal office or Applicable Lending Office is located); or 
  
 (b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including,
without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board, but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance any such requirement to the extent included in calculating the applicable Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) against assets of, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank’s Applicable Lending Office or against Letters of Credit issued by the Agent or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the interbank Eurodollar market any other
condition affecting its Eurodollar Rate Advances, its Notes or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or affecting any Letter of Credit; 
  
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Advance or
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes, then, within 30 days after demand by such Bank (with a
copy to the Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction. Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent of any event of
which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount
of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If any Bank fails to give such notice within 45 days after it obtains knowledge of such an event, such Bank shall, with respect to
compensation payable pursuant to this Section, only be entitled to payment under this Section for costs incurred from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such Bank does give such notice; provided, however, that to the extent such
additional amounts accrue during such period due to the retroactive effect of the applicable Regulatory Change promulgated during the period prior to the Borrowers’ Agent’s receipt of such notice, the limitation set forth in this sentence
shall not apply. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section, setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and stating in reasonable detail the basis for the charge and the method of computation,
shall be conclusive in the absence of error. In determining such amount, any Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure on the part of any Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts
received or receivable with respect to any Interest Period 

  

 - 31 - 








 
shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s rights to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable in any
subsequent Interest Period. 
  
 Section 2.22 Illegality. If
any Regulatory Change shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Rate Advances, such Bank shall notify the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent, whereupon the obligation of such Bank to make or
continue, or to convert any Advances to, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until such Bank notifies the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist. Before giving any such
notice, such Bank shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank determines
that it may not lawfully continue to maintain any Eurodollar Rate Advances to the end of the applicable Interest Periods, all of the affected Advances shall be automatically converted to Prime Rate Advances as of the date of such Bank’s notice,
and upon such conversion the Borrowers shall indemnify such Bank in accordance with Section 2.24. 
  
 Section 2.23 Capital Adequacy. In the event that any Regulatory Change reduces or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any
Bank’s capital or the capital of its parent corporation (by an amount such Bank deems material) as a consequence of its Commitments and/or its Loans and/or any Letters of Credit or any Bank’s obligations to make Advances to cover Letters
of Credit to a level below that which such Bank or its parent corporation could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into account such Bank’s policies and the policies of its parent corporation with respect to capital adequacy),
then the Borrowers shall, within 30 days after written notice and demand from such Bank to the Borrowers’ Agent (with a copy to the Agent), pay to such Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or its parent corporation for
such reduction. If any Bank fails to give such notice within 45 days after it obtains knowledge of such an event, such Bank shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section, only be entitled to payment under this Section for
diminished returns as a result of such reduction for the period from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such Bank does give such notice; provided, however, that to the extent such additional amounts accrue during such period due to
the retroactive effect of the applicable Regulatory Change promulgated during the period prior to the Borrowers’ Agent’s receipt of such notice, the limitation set forth in this sentence shall not apply. Any determination by such Bank
under this Section and any certificate as to the amount of such reduction given to the Borrowers by such Bank shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent error. 
  
 Section 2.24 Funding Losses; Eurodollar Rate Advances. The Borrowers shall compensate each Bank, upon its written
request to the Borrowers’ Agent, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Bank to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry Eurodollar Rate Advances to the extent not recovered by such Bank in
connection with the re-employment of such funds and including loss of anticipated profits) which such Bank may sustain: (i) if for any reason, other than a default by such Bank, a funding of a Eurodollar Rate Advance does not occur on the date
specified therefor in the Borrowers’ Agent’s request or notice as to such Advance under Section 2.2 or 2.4, or (ii) if, for whatever reason (including, but 

  

 - 32 - 








 
not limited to, acceleration of the maturity of Advances following an Event of Default), any repayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, or a conversion pursuant
to Section 2.22, occurs on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. A Bank’s request for compensation shall set forth the basis for the amount requested and shall be final, conclusive and binding, absent
manifest error. 
  
 Section 2.25 Discretion of Banks as to
Manner of Funding. Each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of Eurodollar Rate Advances in any manner it may elect, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder
(including, but not limited to, determinations under Section 2.24) shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Rate Advance during the Interest Period for such Advance through the purchase of deposits having a
maturity corresponding to the last day of the Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period. 
  
 Section 2.26 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrowers hereunder or under the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges of withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Agent, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise
taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).

  
 (b) The Borrowers agree to pay any present or
future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c) The Borrowers shall indemnify each Bank and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or paid by such Bank or
the Agent and any penalties, interest and expenses with respect thereto. Payments on this indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank or the Agent makes written demand therefor. 
  
 (d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of
Taxes, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to on the signature page hereof a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by or on behalf of the
Borrowers through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of the Borrowers by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrowers determine that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrowers shall furnish
or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms “United
States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. 
  

 - 33 - 








 (e) Each Bank, as of the date it becomes a party hereto, represents to the Borrowers and
the Agent that it is either (i) organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or (ii) is entitled to complete exemption from United States withholding tax imposed on or with respect to any payments, including fees, to be made
pursuant to this Agreement (x) under an applicable provision of a tax convention to which the United States is a party or (y) because it is acting through a branch, agency or office in the United States and any payment to be received by it hereunder
is effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States. Each Bank that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent, on or before
the day on which such Bank becomes a party hereto, duly completed and signed copies of either Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI of the United States Internal Revenue Service, or appropriate successor forms. Form W-8BEN shall include such Bank’s United
States taxpayer identification number if required under then current regulations to claim exemption from withholding pursuant to a tax convention. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Bank shall submit to the Borrowers’ Agent and the
Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or the other of such Forms (or such successor Forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may be (i) reasonably requested by the

Service Form W-9 or such substitute form as is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent to the effect that it is such a United States person. 
  
 (f) If the Borrowers shall be required by law or regulation to make any deduction, withholding or backup
withholding of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, liabilities or similar charges of the United States of America, any possession or territory of the United States of America (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) or any area subject to

 ARTICLE IV 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
  
 To induce the
Banks to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans hereunder and to induce the LC Bank to issue Letters of Credit, the Borrowers represent and warrant to the Banks: 
  
 Section 4.1 Organization, Standing, Etc. Each Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted, to enter into this Agreement and to issue the Notes and to perform its obligations
under the Loan Documents. WFB is a state chartered bank duly formed and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has all requisite association power and authority to carry on its business as now
conducted. Each Borrower and WFB (a) holds all certificates of authority, licenses and permits necessary to carry on its business as presently conducted in each jurisdiction in which it is carrying on such business, except where the failure to hold
such certificates, licenses or permits would not constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence, and (b) is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation (or other organization) in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties
owned, leased or operated by it or the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and the failure so to qualify would permanently preclude such Borrower from enforcing its rights with respect to any assets or expose such Borrower to
any Material Adverse Occurrence. 
  
 Section 4.2 Authorization
and Validity. The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by such Borrower, and this Agreement constitutes, and the Notes and other Loan Documents
when executed will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject to limitations as to enforceability which might result from bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to limitations on the availability of equitable remedies. 
  

Section 4.3 No Conflict; No Default. The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of the Loan Documents will not (a) violate any
provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, governmental agency or arbitrator presently in effect having applicability to such Borrower, (b) violate or
contravene any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws of 

  

 - 37 - 








 
such Borrower, or (c) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or instrument
to which such Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound or result in the creation of any Lien thereunder. No Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default under or in violation of any such law, statute, rule or regulation,
order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or any such indenture, loan or credit agreement or other agreement, lease or instrument in any case in which the consequences of such default or violation could constitute a Material
Adverse Occurrence. 
  
 Section 4.4 Government Consent. No
order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority is required on the part of the Borrowers to authorize, or is required in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, the Loan Documents. 
  
 Section 4.5 Financial Statements and Condition. The Borrowers’ audited financial statements as at December 31, 2003, as heretofore furnished
to the Banks, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP on a consistent basis and fairly present the financial condition of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as at such dates and the results of its operations and changes in financial position
for the respective periods then ended. As of the dates of such financial statement, no Borrower nor any Subsidiary had any material obligation, contingent liability, liability for taxes or long-term lease obligation which is not reflected in such
financial statements or in the notes thereto. Since December 31, 2003, there has been no Material Adverse Occurrence. 
  
 Section 4.6 Litigation. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.6, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of any
Borrower, threatened against or affecting any Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of its properties before any court or arbitrator, or any governmental department, board, agency or other instrumentality which, if determined adversely to such Borrower
or Subsidiary, would constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence, and there are no unsatisfied judgments against any Borrower or Subsidiary, the satisfaction or payment of which would constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence. 
  
 Section 4.7 Environmental, Health and Safety Laws. There does not
exist any violation by any Borrower or Subsidiary of any applicable federal, state or local law, rule or regulation or order of any government, governmental department, board, agency or other instrumentality relating to environmental, pollution,
health or safety matters which has, will or threatens to impose a material liability on such Borrower or Subsidiary or which has required or would require a material expenditure by such Borrower or Subsidiary to cure. No Borrower nor any Subsidiary
has received any notice to the effect that any part of its operations or properties is not in material compliance with any such law, rule, regulation or order or notice that it or its property is the subject of any governmental investigation
evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to any release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to 

  

 - 38 - 








 
constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence. Except as set out on Schedule 4.7 attached hereto, no Borrower nor any Subsidiary has knowledge that it or its
property will become subject to environmental laws or regulations during the term of this Agreement, compliance with which could reasonably be expected to require Capital Expenditures which would constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence. 

 
 Section 4.8 ERISA. Each Plan is in substantial compliance with all
applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code and with all material applicable rulings and regulations issued under the provisions of ERISA and the Code setting forth those requirements. No Reportable Event has occurred and is continuing with
respect to any Plan. All of the minimum funding standards applicable to such Plans have been satisfied and there exists no event or condition which would reasonably be expected to result in the institution of proceedings to terminate any Plan under
Section 4042 of ERISA. With respect to each Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, as of the most recent valuation date for such Plan, the present value (determined on the basis of reasonable assumptions employed by the independent actuary for such Plan
and previously furnished in writing to the Banks) of such Plan’s projected benefit obligations did not exceed the fair market value of such Plan’s assets. 
  
 Section 4.9 Federal Reserve Regulations. No Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged principally or as one of its
important activities in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (as defined in Regulations T, U and X of the Board). The value of all margin stock owned by any Borrower does not constitute more than
25% of the value of the assets of such Borrower. 
  
 Section 4.10
Title to Property; Leases; Liens; Subordination. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary has (a) good and marketable title to its real properties and (b) good and sufficient title to, or valid, subsisting and enforceable leasehold interest in, its
other material properties, including all real properties, other properties and assets, referred to as owned by such Borrower or such Subsidiary in the most recent financial statement referred to in Section 5.1 (other than property disposed of since
the date of such financial statements in the ordinary course of business). None of such properties is subject to a Lien, except as allowed under Section 6.13. No Borrower has subordinated any of its rights under any obligation owing to it to the
rights of any other person. 
  
 Section 4.11 Taxes. Each
Borrower and each Subsidiary has filed all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and has paid or made provision for the payment of all taxes due and payable pursuant to such returns and pursuant to any assessments made against it
or any of its property and all other taxes, fees and other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any governmental authority (other than taxes, fees or charges the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided on the books of such Borrower or such Subsidiary). No tax Liens have been filed and no material claims are being asserted with respect to any such
taxes, fees or charges. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each Borrower and each Subsidiary in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are adequate 

  

 - 39 - 








 
and such Borrower or such Subsidiary knows of no proposed material tax assessment against it or any basis therefor. 
  
 Section 4.12 Trademarks, Patents. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary
possesses or has the right to use all of the patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks and copyrights, and applications therefor, and all technology, know-how, processes, methods and designs used in or necessary for the conduct of its
business, without known conflict with the rights of others. 
  
 Section 4.13 Burdensome Restrictions. No Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to or otherwise bound by any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any lease or other agreement or instrument or subject to any charter, corporate or
partnership restriction which would foreseeably constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence. 
  
 Section 4.14 Force Majeure. Since the date of the most recent financial statement referred to in Section 5.1, the business, properties and other assets of the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries have not been
materially and adversely affected in any way as the result of any fire or other casualty, strike, lockout, or other labor trouble, embargo, sabotage, confiscation, condemnation, riot, civil disturbance, activity of armed forces or act of God.

  
 Section 4.15 Investment Company Act. No Borrower nor
any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
  
 Section 4.16 Public Utility Holding Company Act. No Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a “holding company” or a
“subsidiary company” of a holding company or an “affiliate” of a holding company or of a subsidiary company of a holding company within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended. 
  
 Section 4.17 Retirement Benefits. Except as required under Section
4980B of the Code, Section 601 of ERISA or applicable state law, no Borrower nor any Subsidiary is obligated to provide post-retirement medical or insurance benefits with respect to employees or former employees. 
  
 Section 4.18 Full Disclosure. Subject to the following sentence,
neither the financial statements referred to in Section 5.1 nor any other certificate, written statement, exhibit or report furnished by or on behalf of the Borrowers in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement contains any untrue statement of
a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading. Certificates or statements furnished by or on behalf of the Borrowers to the Banks consisting of projections or forecasts
of future results or events have been prepared in good faith and based on good faith estimates and assumptions of the management of the Borrowers, and the Borrowers have no reason to believe that such projections or forecasts are not reasonable.

  
 Section 4.19 Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on
Schedule 4.19, no Borrower has any Subsidiaries. 
  

 - 40 - 








 Section 4.20 Labor Matters. There are no pending or threatened strikes, lockouts or slowdowns
against any Borrower or any Subsidiary. No Borrower nor any Subsidiary has been or is in violation in any material respect of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters. All
payments due from any Borrower or any Subsidiary on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits (in each case, except for de minimus amounts), have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such Borrower
or such Subsidiary. The consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any
Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound. 
  
 Section 4.21
Solvency. After the making of any Loan and after giving effect thereto: (a) the fair value of the assets of each Borrower, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair
saleable value of the property of each Borrower will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become
absolute and matured; (c) each Borrower will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) no Borrower will not have unreasonably small capital
with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date. 
  
 Section 4.22 Material Contracts. Schedule 4.22 sets forth a complete and accurate list of all Material Contracts of the Borrowers and the
Subsidiaries in effect as of the Closing Date and not listed on any other Schedule hereto. Other than as set forth on Schedule 4.22, each such Material Contract is, and after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Credit Agreement will be, in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof. Neither the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary (nor, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, any other party thereto) is in breach or in default under any Material
Contract in any material respect.

 Section 8.7 Credit Analysis. Each Bank has made, and
shall continue to make, its own independent investigation or evaluation of the operations, business, property and condition, financial and otherwise, of the Borrowers in connection with entering into this Agreement and has made its own appraisal of
the creditworthiness of the Borrowers. Except as explicitly provided herein, the Agent has no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Bank with any credit or other information with respect to such
operations, business, property, condition or creditworthiness, whether such information comes into its possession on or before the first Event of Default or at any time thereafter. 
  
 Section 8.8 Notices of Event of Default, Etc. In the event that the Agent shall have acquired actual knowledge of any
Event of Default or Default, the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Banks. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any 

  

 - 57 - 








 
Default or Event of Default, except with respect to actual defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the
account of the Banks, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” 

 
 Section 8.9 Indemnification. Each Bank agrees to indemnify the
Agent, as Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), ratably according to such Bank’s share of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment Amounts from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on or incurred by the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent
under the Loan Documents, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. No payment by any Bank under this Section shall relieve the Borrowers of any of its obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 Section 8.10 Payments and Collections. All funds received by the Agent in respect of any payments made by the Borrowers on the Revolving Notes,
Revolving Commitment Fees or Letter of Credit Fees shall be distributed forthwith by the Agent among the Banks, in like currency and funds as received, ratably according to each Bank’s Revolving Percentage. After any Event of Default has
occurred, all funds received by the Agent, whether as payments by the Borrowers or as realization on collateral or on any guaranties, shall (except as may otherwise be required by law) be distributed by the Agent in the following order: (a) first to
the Agent or any Bank who has incurred unreimbursed costs of collection with respect to any Obligations hereunder, ratably to the Agent and each Bank in the proportion that the costs incurred by the Agent or such Bank bear to the total of all such
costs incurred by the Agent and all Banks; (b) next to the Agent for the account of the Banks (in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages) for any unpaid Revolving Commitment Fees or Letter of Credit Fees owing by the Borrowers
hereunder; (c) next to the Agent for the account of the Banks (in accordance with their respective Total Percentages) for application to interest on the Notes and any Rate Protection Obligations; (d) next to the Agent for the account of the Banks
(in accordance with their respective Total Percentages) for application to principal on the Notes and any Rate Protection Obligations; and (e) last to the Agent to be held in the Holding Account to cover any outstanding Letters of Credit.

  
 Section 8.11 Sharing of Payments. If any Bank shall
receive and retain any payment, voluntary or involuntary, whether by setoff, application of deposit balance or security, or otherwise, in respect of Indebtedness under this Agreement or the Notes in excess of such Bank’s share thereof as
determined under this Agreement, then such Bank shall purchase from the other Banks for cash and at face value and without recourse, such participation in the Notes held by such other Banks as shall be necessary to cause such excess payment to be
shared ratably as aforesaid with such other Banks; provided, that if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, the related purchases from the other Banks 

  

 - 58 - 








 
shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. Subject to the
participation purchase obligation above, each Bank agrees to exercise any and all rights of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien first fully against any Notes and participations therein held by such Bank, next to any other Indebtedness of the
Borrowers to such Bank arising under or pursuant to this Agreement and to any participations held by such Bank in Indebtedness of the Borrowers arising under or pursuant to this Agreement, and only then to any other Indebtedness of the Borrowers to
such Bank. 
  
 Section 8.12 Advice to Banks. The Agent
shall forward to the Banks copies of all notices, financial reports and other communications received hereunder from the Borrowers by it as Agent, excluding, however, notices, reports and communications which by the terms hereof are to be furnished
by the Borrowers directly to each Bank. 
  
 Section 8.13
Defaulting Bank. 
  
 (a) Remedies
Against a Defaulting Bank. In addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrowers under this Agreement or applicable law, if at any time a Bank is a Defaulting Bank such Defaulting Bank’s right to
participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in
the calculation of the Majority Banks, shall be suspended while such Bank remains a Defaulting Bank. If a Bank is a Defaulting Bank because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder
(without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrowers may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest
from such Defaulting Bank on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the overnight Federal Funds rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction
of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document until such defaulted payment and related interest has been paid in full and such default no
longer exists and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Bank in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Bank’s
Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Bank and shall be held uninvested by the Agent and either applied against the purchase price of such Loans under the following subsection (b) or paid to such Defaulting Bank upon the default of such
Defaulting Bank being cured. 
  
 (b) Purchase
from Defaulting Bank. Any Bank that is not a Defaulting Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire all of a Defaulting Bank’s Commitments. If more than one Bank exercises such right, each such Bank
shall have the right to acquire such proportion of such Defaulting Bank’s Commitments on a 

  

 - 59 - 








 
pro rata basis. Upon any such purchase, the Defaulting Bank’s interest in its Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof
or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Bank shall promptly execute all documents reasonably
requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser thereof subject to and in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 9.6, including an Assignment in form acceptable to the Agent. The purchase price for the Commitments
of a Defaulting Bank shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrowers to the Defaulting Bank. The purchaser shall pay to the Defaulting Bank in Immediately Available Funds on the date of such
purchase the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and fees on the Loans made by such Defaulting Bank hereunder (it being understood that such accrued and unpaid interest and fees may be paid pro rata to the purchasing Bank and the Defaulting
Bank by the Agent at a subsequent date upon receipt of payment of such amounts from the Borrowers). Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Bank, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent
pursuant to the last sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (a). The Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive amounts owed to it by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents which accrued prior to the date of the default by the Defaulting
Bank, to the extent the same are received by the Agent from or on behalf of the Borrowers. There shall be no recourse against any Bank or the Agent for the payment of such sums except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other party or
in respect of the Loans. 
  
 Section 8.14 Resignation. If
at any time USBNA shall deem it advisable, in its sole discretion, it may submit to each of the Banks and the Borrowers’ Agent a written notification of its resignation as Agent under this Agreement, such resignation to be effective upon the
appointment of a successor Agent, but in no event later than 30 days from the date of such notice. Upon submission of such notice, the Majority Banks may appoint a successor Agent.

counsel) paid or incurred by the Agent or any Bank in connection with the collection and enforcement of this Agreement and any other Loan Document. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

prior written consent of each Bank. 
  
 (b) Any
Bank may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in a minimum aggregate
amount of $5,000,000 in any Revolving Loan or other Obligation owing to such Bank, any Revolving Note held by such Bank, and any Revolving Commitment of such Bank, or any other interest of such Bank hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a Bank
of participating interests to a Participant, (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, (iii) such
Bank shall remain the holder of any such Revolving Note for all purposes under this Agreement, (iv) the Borrowers, the Borrowers’ Agent and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s

 - 62 - 








 
Obligations, including, without limitation the right to consent or agree to any amendment, modification, consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, provided that such agreement may provide that such Bank will not consent or agree to any such amendment, modification, consent or waiver with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 9.1(a)—(e) without the prior
consent of such Participant. Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement, the Revolving Notes and the Loan Documents are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Revolving Note or other Loan
Document to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Bank under this Agreement or any Revolving Note or other Loan Document; provided, that such right of setoff shall be subject to the
obligation of such Participant to share with the Banks, and the Banks agree to share with such Participant, as provided in subsection 8.11. Each Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.21, 2.22,
2.23, 2.24 and 9.2 with respect to its participation in the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans; provided, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such subsections than the transferor Bank would
have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Bank to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. 
  
 (c) Each Bank may, from time to time, with the consent of the Agent, and the Borrowers’ Agent (none of
which consents shall be unreasonably withheld; and if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then consent of the Borrowers’ Agent shall not be required) assign to other lenders (each, an “Assignee”) all or part of
its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 evidenced by any Revolving Note then held by that Bank, together with equivalent proportions of its Revolving Commitment or the Swing
Line Commitment, together with the Swing Line Note, pursuant to a written agreement executed by such assigning Bank, such Assignee(s), the Borrowers’ Agent, and the Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit C, which agreements shall
specify in each instance the portion of the Obligations evidenced by the Revolving Notes which are to be assigned to each Assignee and the portion of the Revolving Commitment or the Swing Line Commitment of such Bank to be assumed by each Assignee
(each, an “Assignment Agreement”); provided, however, that the assigning Bank must pay to the Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and, in the case of an assignment of the Swing Line Commitment, such assignment
may only be made to a Bank that holds a Commitment hereunder and must be of the entire Swing Line Commitment. Upon the execution of each Assignment Agreement by the assigning Bank, the relevant Assignee, the Borrowers’ Agent, and the Agent,
payment to the assigning Bank by such Assignee of the purchase price for the portion of the Obligations being acquired by it and receipt by the Borrowers’ Agent of a copy of the relevant Assignment Agreement, (x) such Assignee lender shall
thereupon become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement 

  

 - 63 - 








 
with a Revolving Commitment in the amount set forth in such Assignment Agreement and with all the rights, powers and obligations afforded a Bank under this
Agreement, (y) such assigning Bank shall have no further liability for funding the portion of its Commitment assumed by such Assignee and (z) the address for notices to such Assignee shall be as specified in the Assignment Agreement executed by it.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of each Assignment Agreement, the assigning Bank shall surrender to the Agent the applicable Revolving Note and the Borrowers shall execute and deliver a Revolving Note to the Assignee in the amount of
its Revolving Commitment, and a new Revolving Note to the assigning Bank in the amount of its Revolving Commitment, respectively, after giving effect to the reduction occasioned by such assignment, all such Notes to constitute “Revolving
Notes” for all purposes of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents. In the case of the assignment of the Swing Line Commitment, the Assignee shall become the “Swing Line Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement, and the
assigning Bank shall assign the Swing Line Note by allonge to the Assignee.

Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries prior to entering into this Agreement, provided that prior to disclosing such information, such Bank shall first obtain the agreement of such prospective Participant to comply with the provisions of Section
9.7.

in this Agreement, any Bank may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement and any note held by it in favor of any federal reserve bank in accordance with Regulation A
of the Board or U. S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR § 203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law. 
  
 Section 9.7 Confidentiality of Information. The Agent and each Bank shall use reasonable efforts to assure that
information about the Borrowers and their operations, affairs and financial condition, not generally disclosed to the public or to trade and other creditors, which is furnished to the Agent or such Bank pursuant to the provisions hereof is used only
for the purposes of this Agreement and any other relationship between any Bank and the Borrowers and shall not be divulged to any Person other than the Banks, their Affiliates and their respective

counterparty’s professional advisor, (f) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires information about a Bank investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Bank, and (g) as may otherwise be required or
requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Agent or any Bank or by any applicable law, rule, regulation or judicial process, the opinion of the Agent’s or such Bank’s counsel concerning the making of such disclosure
to be binding on the parties hereto. Neither the Agent nor any Bank shall incur any liability to the Borrowers by reason of any disclosure permitted by this Section.

THAT IT IS LIABLE, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY WITH EACH OTHER BORROWER, FOR THE PAYMENT OF ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT THE BANKS AND THE AGENT CAN ENFORCE SUCH OBLIGATIONS AGAINST ANY OR ALL BORROWERS, IN THE
BANKS’ OR THE AGENT’S SOLE AND UNLIMITED DISCRETION. 
  
 (b) Waivers of Defenses. The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing which might, but for this provision of this Agreement, be deemed a legal or
equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, other than irrevocable payment and performance in full of the Obligations (except for contingent indemnity and other contingent Obligations not yet due and payable) at a time after any obligation of the
Banks hereunder to make the Revolving Loans, the Swing Line Bank to make the Swing Line Loans and of the Agent to issue Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated and all outstanding Letters of Credit shall have expired or the liability
of the Agent thereon shall have otherwise been discharged. The purpose and intent of this Agreement is that the Obligations constitute the direct and primary obligations of each Borrower and that the covenants, agreements and all obligations of each
Borrower hereunder be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable. Each Borrower shall be and remain liable for any deficiency remaining after foreclosure of any mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement securing all or any part of the Obligations,
whether or not the liability of any other Person for such deficiency is discharged pursuant to statute, judicial decision or otherwise. 
  
 (c) Other Transactions. The Banks and the Agent are expressly authorized to exchange, surrender or release with or without
consideration any or all collateral and security which may at any time be placed with it by the Borrowers or by any other Person on behalf of the Borrowers, or to forward or deliver any or all such collateral and security directly to the Borrowers
for collection and remittance or for credit. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any security for the Obligations or other recourse with respect thereto shall affect, impair or be a defense to the Borrowers’ obligations under
this Agreement. The liabilities of each Borrower hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by any failure, delay, neglect or omission on the part of any Bank or the Agent to realize upon any of the Obligations of any other Borrower to the Banks or
the Agent, or upon any collateral or security for any or all of the Obligations, nor by the taking by any Bank or the Agent of (or the failure to take) any guaranty or guaranties to secure the Obligations, nor by the taking by any Bank or the Agent
of (or the failure to take or the failure to perfect its security interest in or other lien on) collateral or security of any kind. No act or omission of any Bank or the Agent, whether or not such action or failure to act varies or increases the
risk of, or affects the rights or remedies of a Borrower, shall affect or impair the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder.

 (d) Actions Not Required. Each Borrower, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, hereby waives any and all right to cause a marshaling of the assets of any other Borrower or any other action by any court or other governmental body with respect thereto or to cause any Bank or the Agent to proceed against any security for the
Obligations or any other recourse which any Bank or the Agent may have with respect thereto and further waives any and all requirements that any Bank or the Agent institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity, or obtain any judgment,
against any other Borrower or any other Person, or with respect to any collateral security for the Obligations, as a condition precedent to making demand on or bringing an action or obtaining and/or enforcing a judgment against, such Borrower under
this Agreement. 
  
 (e) No Subrogation.
Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Borrower hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of any Borrower by any Bank or the Agent, such Borrower shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Bank or the Agent
against any other Borrower or any other guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by any Bank or the Agent for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall such Borrower seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or
reimbursement from any other Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by such Borrower hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Banks and the Agent by the Borrowers on account of the Obligations are irrevocably paid in full. If
any amount shall be paid to a Borrower on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been irrevocably paid in full, such amount shall be held by that Borrower in trust for the Banks and the Agent,
segregated from other funds of that Borrower, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Borrower, be turned over to the Agent in the exact form received by the Borrower (duly indorsed by the Borrower to the Agent, if required), to be applied against
the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Agent may determine. 
  
 (f) Application of Payments. Any and all payments upon the Obligations made by the Borrowers or by any other Person, and/or the
proceeds of any or all collateral or security for any of the Obligations, may be applied by the Banks on such items of the Obligations as the Banks may elect. 
  

(g) Recovery of Payment. If any payment received by the Banks or the Agent and applied to the Obligations is subsequently set
aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of a Borrower or any other obligor), the Obligations to which such payment was applied shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for such Obligations as fully as if such application had never been made.
References in this Agreement to amounts “irrevocably paid” or to “irrevocable payment” refer to payments that cannot be set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason.

 (h) Borrowers’ Financial Condition. Each Borrower is familiar with the
financial condition of the other Borrowers, and each Borrower has executed and delivered this Agreement based on that Borrower’s own judgment and not in reliance upon any statement or representation of the Bank. The Banks and the Agent shall
have no obligation to provide any Borrower with any advice whatsoever or to inform any Borrower at any time of the Bank’s actions, evaluations or conclusions on the financial condition or any other matter concerning the Borrowers. 

 
 (i) Bankruptcy of the Borrowers. Each Borrower
expressly agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the liabilities and obligations of that Borrower under this Agreement shall not in any way be impaired or otherwise affected by the institution by or against any other Borrower or any
other Person of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or any other similar proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or similar law for the relief of debtors and that any discharge of any of the
Obligations pursuant to any such bankruptcy or similar law or other law shall not diminish, discharge or otherwise affect in any way the obligations of that Borrower under this Agreement, and that upon the institution of any of the above actions,
such obligations shall be enforceable against that Borrower. 
  
 (j) Limitation; Insolvency Laws. As used in this Section 9.18(j): (a) the term “Applicable Insolvency Laws” means the laws of the United States of America or of any State, province, nation or other
governmental unit relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency, fraudulent transfers or conveyances or other similar laws (including, without limitation, 11 U. S. C. §547,
§548, §550 and other “avoidance” provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code) as applicable in any proceeding in which the validity and/or enforceability of this Agreement against any Borrower, or any Specified Lien is in
issue; and (b) “Specified Lien” means any security interest, mortgage, lien or encumbrance granted by any Borrower securing the Obligations, in whole or in part. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, in any proceeding,
a court of competent jurisdiction determines that with respect to any Borrower, this Agreement or any Specified Lien would, but for the operation of this Section, be subject to avoidance and/or recovery or be unenforceable by reason of Applicable
Insolvency Laws, this Agreement and each such Specified Lien shall be valid and enforceable against such Borrower, only to the maximum extent that would not cause this Agreement or such Specified Lien to be subject to avoidance, recovery or
unenforceability. To the extent that any payment to, or realization by, the Banks or the Agent on the Obligations exceeds the limitations of this Section and is otherwise subject to avoidance and recovery in any such proceeding, the amount subject
to avoidance shall in all events be limited to the amount by which such actual payment or realization exceeds such limitation, and this Agreement as limited shall in all events remain in full force and effect and be fully enforceable against such
Borrower. This Section is intended solely to reserve the rights of the Banks and the Agent hereunder against each Borrower, in such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Insolvency Laws and neither the Borrowers, any guarantor of

the Obligations nor any other Person shall have any right, claim or defense under this Section that would not otherwise be available under Applicable
Insolvency Laws in such proceeding. 
  
 Section 9.19 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 that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law
(collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Bank 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 Bank 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 Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Bank. 
  
 Section 9.20 Effect of Existing Credit Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, provided
that the obligations of the Borrowers incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue under this Agreement, and shall not in any circumstances be terminated, extinguished or discharged hereby or thereby but shall hereafter be governed by
the terms of this Agreement.
