 24 








 
outstanding Advances on and as of the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on any other Business Day elected by the Agent in its discretion or upon
instruction by the Required Lenders. Each day upon or as of which the Agent determines Dollar Amounts as described in the preceding clauses (a) and (b) is herein described as a “Computation Date” with respect to each Advance for
which a Dollar Amount is determined on or as of such date. If at any time the Dollar Amount of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances (calculated, with respect to those Advances denominated in Agreed Currencies other
than Dollars, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Advance) exceeds $50,000,000, the Borrowers shall immediately repay Advances in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to eliminate any such excess. 
 2.4.2 Required Payments; Terminations. Any outstanding Revolving Loans shall be paid in full by the Borrowers on the Revolving
Loan Termination Date and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrowers on the Revolving Loan Termination Date. Notwithstanding the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments under this Agreement on the Revolving Loan
Termination Date, until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been fully paid and satisfied and all financing arrangements among the Borrowers and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
shall have been terminated, all of the rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive. 
 2.4.3 Mandatory Prepayments of Aggregated Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure. If at any time and for any reason, the amount of the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure is greater than the Aggregate Revolving Loan
Commitment, the Borrowers shall immediately make a mandatory prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure in an amount equal to such excess. 
 2.5. Commitment Fee; Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. 
 2.5.1 The Commitment
Fee. The Company shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Loan Pro Rata Shares, from and after the Closing Date until the date on which the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be terminated
in whole, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) accruing at the rate of the then Applicable Fee Rate on the daily average Available Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (provided that, for purposes of determining the Commitment
Fee, all outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be excluded from the calculation of the Available Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment). All such 

  

 25 








 
Commitment Fees payable hereunder shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date; provided, that if any Lender continues to have
Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure after the termination of its Revolving Loan Commitment, then the Commitment Fee shall continue to accrue and be due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof until such Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure is
reduced to zero. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders then party to the Existing Credit Agreement, the accrued and unpaid “Commitment Fees” (as such term is defined in the
Existing Credit Agreement before giving effect to this Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement to but not including the Closing Date.

$5,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof)(or the Approximate Equivalent Amount if denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars), upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent, which
notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment may not be reduced below the Dollar Amount of the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure. All accrued
Commitment Fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder and on the final date upon which all Revolving Loans are repaid. For purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee hereunder, the
principal amount of each Advance made in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall be at any time the Dollar Amount of such Advance as determined on the most recent Computation Date with respect to such Advance. 
 2.5.3 Increase in Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. Subject to Section 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 and the other terms and conditions
of this Agreement, at any time prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date, the Borrowers may, on the terms set forth below, request that the initial Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder be increased by an amount up to $150,000,000;
provided, however, that (i) no such increase shall cause the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment to exceed (x) $450,000,000 minus (y) any reduction in the Commitments under Sections 2.2 or 2.5.2, (ii) an increase in the Aggregate
Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder may only be made at a time when no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom and (iii) no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased under this
Section 2.5.3 without its consent. In the event of such a requested increase in 

  

 26 








 
the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, any financial institution which the Borrowers and the Agent invite to become a Lender or to increase its Commitment
may set the amount of its Commitment at a level agreed to by the Borrowers, the Agent and the LC Issuers. In the event that the Borrowers, the Agent, the LC Issuers and one or more of the Lenders (or other financial institutions) shall agree upon
such an increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (i) the Borrowers, the Agent, the LC Issuers and each Lender or other financial institution increasing its Commitment or extending a new Commitment shall enter into an amendment to
this Agreement setting forth the amounts of the Commitments as so increased, providing that the financial institutions extending new Commitments shall be Lenders for all purposes under this Agreement, and setting forth such additional provisions as
the Agent shall consider reasonably appropriate and (ii) the Borrowers shall execute, if requested, a new Note to each financial institution that is extending a new Commitment or increasing its Commitment. No such amendment shall require the
approval or consent of any Lender whose Commitment is not being increased. Upon the execution and delivery of such amendment as provided above, and upon satisfaction of such other conditions as the Agent may reasonably specify upon the request of
the financial institutions that are extending new Commitments (including, without limitation, the Agent administering the reallocation of any outstanding Revolving Loans ratably among the Lenders with Commitments after giving effect to each such
increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, and the delivery of certificates, evidence of corporate authority and legal opinions on behalf of the Borrowers), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended accordingly.

below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurocurrency Advance either continue as a Eurocurrency Advance for the same or another
Interest Period or be converted into a Floating Rate Advance; and 
 2.9.2 each such Eurocurrency Advance denominated in an
Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall be automatically converted into a Eurocurrency Advance in the same Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one month unless (x) such Eurocurrency Advance is or was repaid in accordance with
Section 2.7 or (y) the applicable Borrower shall have given the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurocurrency Advance continue as a Eurocurrency Advance for
the same or another Interest Period. 
 Subject to the terms of Section 2.6 and the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by
Section 3.4, the applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type (other than a Swing Line Advance) into any other Type or Types of Advances denominated in the same or any other Agreed
Currency; provided that any conversion of any Eurocurrency Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.9 during the
continuance of a Default or an Unmatured Default, the Agent may (or shall at the direction of the Required Lenders), by notice to the Borrowers, declare that no Advance may be made as, converted to or, following the expiration of any Interest
Periods then in effect, continued as a Eurocurrency Advance. The applicable Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of an Advance or continuation of a Eurocurrency Advance
not later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the same Business Day, in the case of a conversion into a Floating Rate Advance, three (3) Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurocurrency Advance denominated in
Dollars, or four (4) Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurocurrency Advance denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

  

	 	(i)	the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation, and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Agreed Currency, amount and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurocurrency
Advance, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

 2.10. Method of Borrowing. On each Borrowing Date,
each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, if any, (i) if such Loan is denominated in Dollars, not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago time, in Federal or other funds immediately available to the Agent, in Chicago, Illinois at its address
specified in or pursuant to Article XIII and, (ii) if such Loan is denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, not later than 12:00 noon, local time, in the city of the Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency, in
such funds as may 

  

 29 








 
then be customary for the settlement of international transactions in such currency in the city of and at the address of the Agent’s Eurocurrency
Payment Office for such currency. Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the applicable Borrower at the
Agent’s aforesaid address or, if applicable, to such Borrower’s account specified on the applicable Borrowing Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10, to the extent that a Revolving Loan made by a Lender
matures on the Borrowing Date of a requested Revolving Loan, such Lender shall apply the proceeds of the Revolving Loan it is then making to the repayment of principal of the maturing Revolving Loan. 
 2.11. Changes in Interest Rate, etc. Each Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Advance) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurocurrency Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.9, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted
into a Eurocurrency Advance pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the
day such Swing Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is fully paid at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day or at such other rate per annum as shall be agreed to by the Swing Line Lender and the Company. Changes in the
rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurocurrency Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the Eurocurrency Rate determined by the Agent as applicable to such Eurocurrency Advance based upon the
applicable Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.8 and 2.9 and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof. No Interest Period in respect of any Revolving Loan may end after the Revolving Loan Termination Date. 
 2.12. Rates Applicable After Default. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrowers
(which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Eurocurrency Advance shall bear
interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum, (ii) each Floating Rate Advance and each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum, and (iii) the LC Fee described in the first sentence of Section 2.24.4 shall be increased to a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate in
effect from time to time plus 2% per annum; provided that, during the continuance of a Default under Section 7.2, 7.3 (solely arising as a result of a breach of any of Sections 6.20 through 6.22), 7.6 or 7.7, the interest rates set forth
in clauses (i) and (ii) above and the increase in the LC Fee set forth in clause (iii) above shall be applicable to all Credit Extensions, Advances, fees and other Obligations hereunder without any election or action on the part of
the Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender. 
  

 30 








 2.13. Method of Payment; Non-availability of Original Currency. 
 2.13.1 Method of Payment. Each Advance shall be repaid and each payment of interest thereon shall be paid in the currency in which
such Advance was made or, where such currency has converted to euro, in euro. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Agent at (except as set forth in
the next sentence) the Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Agent specified in writing by the Agent to the Company, by 12:00 noon (local time) on the date when due and shall (except
with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans, and except in the case of Reimbursement Obligations for which any LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, or as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the
Agent among the Lenders. All payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder in any currency other than Dollars shall be made in such currency on the date due in such funds as may then be customary for the settlement of international transactions in
such currency for the account of the Agent, at its Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency and shall be applied ratably by the Agent among the Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered
promptly by the Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Agent received at, (a) with respect to Floating Rate Loans and Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending
Installation specified in a notice received by the Agent from such Lender and (b) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, in the funds received from the Borrowers at the address of the
Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of any Borrower maintained with JPMorgan for each payment of the Obligations as it becomes due hereunder. Each reference to the Agent in
this Section 2.13 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally to the LC Issuers in the case of payments required to be made by any Borrower to the LC Issuers pursuant to Section 2.24.6. 
 2.13.2 Non-availability of Original Currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of
any Advance in any currency other than Dollars, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Advance was made (the “Original
Currency”) no longer exists or the applicable Borrower is not able to make payment to the Agent for the account of the Lenders in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the applicable Borrower hereunder in such currency shall
instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such 

  

 31 








 
payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the applicable Borrower take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or
exchange regulations. 
 2.14. Advances to be Made in euro. If any Advance made (or to be made) would, but for the provisions of this
Section 2.14, be capable of being made in either euro or in a National Currency Unit, such Advance shall be made in euro. 
 2.15.
Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness. 
  

	 	(i)	Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by
such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

  

	 	(ii)	The Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (a) the date and the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Agreed Currency and Type thereof and the Interest
Period (in the case of a Eurocurrency Advance) with respect thereto, (b) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder, (c) the original stated amount of
each Facility LC and the amount of LC Obligations outstanding at any time, (d) the effective date and amount of each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto pursuant to Section 12.3, (e) the amount
of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lender’s share thereof, and (f) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, all fees, charges, expenses and
interest. 

  

	 	(iii)	The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations
therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.


  

	 	(iv)	 Any Lender may request that its Revolving Loans or, in the case of the Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line Loans, be evidenced by promissory notes (the
“Notes”) in substantially the form of Exhibit D, with appropriate changes for notes evidencing Swing Line Loans. In such event, each Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note(s) payable to the order of such
Lender or its registered assigns. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee
named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note(s) for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above. Each Note issued in 



  

 32 









	 	 
exchange for a “Note” issued under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be issued in substitution for, and shall amend and restate, each respective
“Note” issued under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement. No such substitutions, amendments and restatements shall constitute or effect a repayment, refinancing or novation of the amounts evidenced by the Notes but rather a
modification and substitution of their respective terms. 


 2.16. Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower hereby
authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Agreed Currencies and Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Agent or any Lender in
good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. Each Borrower
agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation, signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower, if such confirmation is requested by the Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any
material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. 
 2.17. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable in arrears on the Closing Date and each Payment Date, commencing with the first Payment Date to occur after the
Closing Date, on any date on which the Floating Rate Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Floating Rate Advance converted into a
Eurocurrency Advance on a day other than a Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the
Eurocurrency Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance having an Interest Period longer than three (3) months shall also be payable on the last day of each
three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on Eurocurrency Advances, Swing Line Loans, LC Fees and all other fees hereunder shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, except for interest on
Revolving Loans denominated in British Pounds Sterling which shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day year. Interest on Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on
the basis of a 365/366-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of
principal of or interest on an Advance, any fees or any other amounts payable to the Agent or any Lender hereunder shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case
of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, fees and commissions in connection with such payment. 
 2.18. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reduction. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment reduction notice,
Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it 

  

 33 








 
hereunder. Promptly after notice from the applicable LC Issuer, the Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each request for issuance of a Facility
LC hereunder. The Agent will notify the Borrowers and each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurocurrency Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give the Borrowers and each Lender prompt notice of each change
in the Alternate Base Rate. 
 2.19. Lending Installations. 
 2.19.1 Each Lender may book its Revolving Loans denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars at the appropriate Lending
Installation listed on the administrative information sheets provided to the Agent in connection herewith or such other Lending Installation designated by such Lender in accordance with the final sentence of this Section 2.19.1. All terms of
this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Revolving Loans denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars and any Notes evidencing such Revolving Loans issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the
benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Agent and the Borrowers in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which such Revolving Loans will be made by
it and for whose account such Revolving Loan payments are to be made. 
 2.19.2 Except for Revolving Loans denominated in an
Agreed Currency other than Dollars, each Lender may book its Loans and its participation in any LC Obligations and the LC Issuers may book the Facility LCs issued by it at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or LC Issuer, as applicable,
and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, Facility LCs, participations in LC Obligations and any Notes evidencing a Loan issued hereunder shall
be deemed held by each Lender or LC Issuer, as applicable, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Agent and the Borrowers in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or
additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Facility LCs will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Facility LCs are to be made. 
 2.20. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless the applicable Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on
which it is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of any Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it
does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such
Lender or the applicable 

  

 34 








 
Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to the Agent
the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to
(x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan and (ii) a rate determined by the
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (including without limitation the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars) or (y) in the case of payment
by any Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. 
 2.21. Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of
all conditions referred to in Article II and Article IV with respect to any Advance in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, if there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Advance any change in national or international financial, political
or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the reasonable opinion of the Agent or the Required Lenders make it impracticable for the Eurocurrency Loans comprising such Advance to be denominated in the
Agreed Currency specified by the applicable Borrower, then the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to such Borrower and the Lenders, and such Loans shall not be denominated in such Agreed Currency but shall be made on such Borrowing Date in
Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be, as Floating Rate Loans, unless such Borrower
notifies the Agent at least one Business Day before such date that (i) it elects not to borrow on such date or (ii) it elects to borrow on such date in a different Agreed Currency, provided that (a) the denomination of such
Loans in such different Agreed Currency would in the opinion of the Agent and the Required Lenders be practicable and (b) such borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount
specified in the related Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. 
 2.22. Judgment Currency. If for
the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to
the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Agent’s main
Chicago office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency
other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Agent (as the
case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Agent,
as the case may be, in the specified currency, each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be,


  

 35 








 
against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Agent, as the case
may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 12.2, such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, agrees
to remit such excess to the applicable Borrower. 
 2.23. Replacement of Lender. If any Borrower is required pursuant to
Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender or if any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Floating Rate Advances into, Eurocurrency Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3 (any
Lender so affected an “Affected Lender”), the Company may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to terminate or replace the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Affected Lender, provided that no
Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such termination or replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such termination or replacement, (i) if the Affected Lender is being replaced,
another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Agent and the LC Issuers shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure of the Affected Lender pursuant to an
Assignment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of
Section 12.3 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Affected Lender in immediately available funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such
Affected Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would
have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender, in each case to the extent not paid by the replacement
Lender and (iii) if the Affected Lender is being terminated, the Borrowers shall pay to such Affected Lender all Obligations due to such Affected Lender (including the amounts described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and
(ii) plus the outstanding principal balance of such Affected Lender’s Revolving Loans). 
 2.24. Facility LCs. 

2.24.1 Issuance. 
 (a) Issuance. The LC Issuers hereby agree, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue commercial and standby Letters of Credit in Dollars (each, a “Facility LC”) and to renew,
extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each Facility LC (“Modify,” and each such action, a “Modification”), from time to time from and including the Closing Date and prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date upon the
request of the applicable Borrower; provided that immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified, (i) the aggregate amount of the outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) the Aggregate
Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. No Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than the earlier of (x) the fifth Business 

  

 36 








 
Day prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date and (y) one year after its issuance; provided that any Facility LC with a one-year tenor may provide
for the renewal thereof for additional one year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (x) above). 
 (b) [RESERVED]. 
 2.24.2 Participations. Upon the issuance or Modification by
the applicable LC Issuer of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 2.24, such LC Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be
deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from such LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its
Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share. 
 2.24.3 Notice. The applicable Borrower shall give the applicable LC Issuer notice
prior to 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least five Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC, specifying the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiry date of such
Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such Facility LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. The applicable LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Agent, and, upon issuance only, the Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender, of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Facility LC. The issuance or Modification by any LC Issuer of any Facility LC shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in
Article IV (the satisfaction of which such LC Issuer shall have no duty to ascertain), be subject to the conditions precedent that such Facility LC shall be satisfactory to such LC Issuer and that the applicable Borrower shall have executed and
delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as such LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each, a “Facility LC Application”). In the event of any conflict between the
terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 
 2.24.4
LC Fees. The Company shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Loan Pro Rata Shares, (i) with respect to each standby Facility LC, a letter of credit fee at a per annum
rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans in effect from time to time on the average daily undrawn amount under such Facility LC, such fee to be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, and (ii) with 

  

 37 








 
respect to each commercial Facility LC, a one-time letter of credit fee in an amount to be agreed upon between the Company and the applicable LC Issuer based
upon the initial stated amount (or, with respect to a Modification of any such commercial Facility LC which increases the stated amount thereof, such increase in the stated amount) thereof, such fee to be payable on the date of such issuance or
increase. The applicable Borrower shall also pay to each LC Issuer for its own account (x) at the time of such LC Issuer’s issuance of any standby Facility LC, a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% multiplied by the face
amount of such standby Facility LC, and (y) documentary and processing charges in connection with the issuance, or Modification cancellation, negotiation, or transfer of, and draws under Facility LCs in accordance with the applicable LC
Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges as in effect from time to time. Each fee described in this Section 2.24.4 shall constitute an “LC Fee”. 
 2.24.5 Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment
under such Facility LC, the applicable LC Issuer shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and each other Lender as to the amount to be paid by such LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed
payment date to such beneficiary (the “LC Payment Date”); provided, however, that the failure of such LC Issuer to so notify such Borrower shall not in any manner affect the obligations of any Borrower to reimburse such LC Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.24.6. The responsibility of each LC Issuer to the Borrowers and each Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC issued by such LC Issuer in
connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Facility LC. Each LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Facility LCs issued by such LC Issuer as it
does with respect to Letters of Credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by the applicable LC Issuer, each Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably
liable without regard to the occurrence of any Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse such LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Lender’s Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by such LC Issuer
under each Facility LC issued by such LC Issuer to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.24.6 below, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day
from the date of the applicable LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on such date, from 

  

 38 








 
the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three days and, thereafter, at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances. 
 2.24.6 Reimbursement by Borrowers. The Borrowers shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the LC Issuers on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by any LC
Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC issued by such LC Issuer, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that no Borrower nor any Lender shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for
direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by any Borrower or such Lender to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the applicable LC Issuer in determining whether a request
presented under any Facility LC issued by it complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) the applicable LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with
the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. All such amounts paid by any LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by the Borrowers shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to
Floating Rate Advances for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after such LC Payment Date. Each LC
Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from the Borrowers for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC
issued by such LC Issuer, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to such LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to Section 2.24.5. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the
submission of a Borrowing Notice in compliance with Section 2.9 and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), the Borrowers may request an Advance hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement
Obligation. 
 2.24.7 Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 2.24 shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Borrower may have or have had against any LC Issuer, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Facility LC. The
Borrowers further agree with the LC Issuers and the Lenders that the LC Issuers and the Lenders shall not be responsible 

  

 39 








 
for, and the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness
of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among any Borrower, any of their respective Affiliates, the beneficiary of
any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of any Borrower or of any of their respective Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any
such transferee. No LC Issuer shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC. Each Borrower agrees that any
action taken or omitted by any LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon such Borrower and shall not put
any LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to any Borrower. Nothing in this Section 2.24.7 is intended to limit the right of any Borrower to make a claim against any LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first
sentence of Section 2.24.6. 
 2.24.8 Actions of LC Issuers. Each LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall
be fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such LC Issuer. Each LC Issuer shall be fully justified
in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction
by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.24, each LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and any future
holders of a participation in any Facility LC. 
 2.24.9 Indemnification. The Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify and
hold harmless each Lender, each LC Issuer and the Agent, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees 

  

 40 








 
from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, reasonable costs or expenses which such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Agent may incur
(or which may be claimed against such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Facility LC or any
actual or proposed use of any Facility LC, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, reasonable costs or expenses which any LC Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with (i) the failure of any other
Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to such LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights any Borrower may have against any defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on account of such LC Issuer issuing
any Facility LC which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Facility LC does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be
accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to such LC Issuer, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that no Borrower shall be required to indemnify any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Agent for any
claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the applicable LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC
issued by such LC Issuer complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (y) any LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by such LC Issuer after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and
conditions of such Facility LC. Nothing in this Section 2.24.9 is intended to limit the obligations of any Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement. 
 2.24.10 Lenders’ Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share, indemnify
each LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss
or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or the applicable LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by such LC Issuer after the presentation to it of a request
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.24 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder. 
 2.24.11 Facility LC Collateral Account. The Borrowers agree that the Company will, on behalf of each of the Borrowers, 

  

 41 








 
upon the request of the Agent or the Required Lenders and until the final expiration date of any Facility LC and thereafter as long as any amount is payable
to the LC Issuers or the Lenders in respect of any Facility LC, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Agent (the “Facility LC Collateral Account”) at the Agent’s office at the address
specified pursuant to Article XIII, in the name of the Company but under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which no Borrower shall have any interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. Each
Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the LC Issuers, a security interest in all of such Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from
time to time be on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations. The Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in
certificates of deposit of JPMorgan having a maturity not exceeding 30 days. Nothing in this Section 2.24.11 shall either obligate the Agent to require any Borrower to deposit any funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account or limit the right
of the Agent to release any funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account in each case other than as required by Section 8.1. 
 2.24.12 Rights as a Lender. In its capacity as a Lender, each LC Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Lender. 
 2.25. Subsidiary Borrowers. The Company may at any time or from time to time, with the consent of the Agent, add as a party to this Agreement any
Domestic Subsidiary that is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary to be a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder by the execution and delivery to the Agent and the Lenders of (a) a duly completed Assumption Letter by such Domestic Subsidiary, with the
acknowledgement of the Agent and written consent of the Borrowers at the foot thereof, (b) such opinions, agreements, documents, certificates or other items as may be required by Section 4.3, such documents with respect to any additional
Subsidiary Borrowers to be substantially similar in form and substance to the Loan Documents executed on or about the Original Closing Date and the Closing Date by the Subsidiary Borrowers parties hereto as of the Original Closing Date and the
Closing Date. Upon such execution, delivery and consent such Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a party hereto as a Subsidiary Borrower as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement. So long as the principal of and interest on any
Credit Extensions made to any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been repaid or paid in full, all Facility LCs issued for the account of such Subsidiary Borrower have expired or been returned and terminated and all other obligations
of such Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been fully performed, the Company may, by not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), terminate such
Subsidiary Borrower’s status as a “Subsidiary Borrower” (it being understood and agreed that such Subsidiary Borrower shall remain liable with respect to indemnification and similar obligations incurred prior to such termination). The
Agent shall give the Lenders written notice of the addition of any Subsidiary Borrowers to this Agreement. 
  

 42 








 ARTICLE III 
 YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES 
 3.1. Yield Protection. If, on or after the Closing Date, the
adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in any such law, rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation
or any LC Issuer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: 
  

	 	(i)	subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to
any Lender or any LC Issuer in respect of its Revolving Loan Commitments, Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or 

  

	 	(ii)	imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances) with respect to its Revolving Loan
Commitment, Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or 

  

	 	(iii)	imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its
Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer in connection with its Revolving Loan Commitment or Loans or
Facility LCs (including participations therein), or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Revolving Loan Commitment or Loans or Facility LCs
(including participations therein) held or interest or LC Fees received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or such LC Issuer, as applicable, 

 (and such event being a “Change in Law”) and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or such LC Issuer of making or maintaining its Loans
(including, without limitation, any conversion of any Loan denominated in an Agreed Currency other than euro into a Loan denominated in euro) or Revolving Loan Commitment or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs, as applicable, or to reduce
the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or LC Issuer in connection with such 

  

 43 








 
Loans, Revolving Loan Commitment or Facility LCs (including participations therein), then, within 15 days of demand, accompanied by the written statement
required by Section 3.6, by such Lender or LC Issuer, the Borrowers shall pay such Lender or LC Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or LC Issuer for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

 3.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or any LC Issuer determines the amount of capital required or expected to
be maintained by such Lender or such LC Issuer, any Lending Installation of such Lender or such LC Issuer or any corporation controlling such Lender or such LC Issuer is increased as a result of a Change in Capital Adequacy Regulations, then, within
15 days of demand, accompanied by the written statement required by Section 3.6, by such Lender or such LC Issuer, the Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return
on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender or such LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure, its Revolving Loan Commitment or its commitment to issue Facility LCs, as
applicable, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change in Capital Adequacy Regulations” means (i) any change after the Closing Date in the Risk-Based
Capital Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of, or change in, or change in the interpretation or administration of any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) after the Closing Date which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any LC Issuer or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender or any LC Issuer.
“Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the Closing Date, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory
authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including
transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the Closing Date. 
 3.3. Availability of Types of Advances.
If (x) any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurocurrency Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or (y) the Required
Lenders determine that (i) deposits of a type, currency and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurocurrency Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of
making or maintaining Eurocurrency Advances, or (iii) no reasonable basis exists for determining the Eurocurrency Reference Rate, then the Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurocurrency Advances and require any affected Eurocurrency
Advances to be repaid or converted to Floating Rate Advances on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law, subject to the payment of any funding
indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4. 
 3.4. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurocurrency Advance occurs
on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurocurrency Advance is not made or continued, or a Floating Rate Advance is not converted into a Eurocurrency
Advance, on the date specified by the 

  

 44 








 
applicable Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, or a Eurocurrency Advance is not prepaid on the date specified by the applicable
Borrower for any reason, the Borrowers will, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender for any reasonable loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any reasonable loss or cost in liquidating or employing
deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurocurrency Advance. 
 3.5. Taxes. (i) All payments by the Borrowers to or for the
account of any Lender or any LC Issuer or the Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum
payable hereunder to any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 3.5) such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) such Borrower
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) such Borrower shall furnish to the Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or, if a receipt cannot be obtained with
reasonable efforts, such other evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to the Agent, in each case within 30 days after such payment is made. 
  

	 	(ii)	In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment
made hereunder or under any Note or Facility LC Application or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note or Facility LC Application or any other Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).


  

	 	(iii)	The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent, each LC Issuer and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed
on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Agent, such LC Issuer or such Lender as a result of its Revolving Loan Commitment, any Credit Extensions made by it hereunder, any Facility LC issued or participated in by it hereunder, or
otherwise in connection with its participation in this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the
date the Agent, such LC Issuer or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6. 

  

	 	(iv)	 Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not
more than ten Business Days after the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (but in any event before a payment is due to it hereunder), (i) deliver to each of the Company and the Agent two duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor forms, certifying in either case that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement or under any Note or Facility LC Application without deduction or withholding
of any United States federal income taxes, or (ii) in the 



  

 45 









	 	 
case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is fiscally transparent, deliver to the Agent a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY or successor form together
with the applicable accompanying duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service applicable Forms W-8 or W-9 or successor forms, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax.
Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Company and the Agent renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) (x) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, and (z) from time to time upon reasonable request by the Company or the Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify
that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred
prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender
advises the Company and the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax. 


  

	 	(v)	For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Company with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv) above (unless such failure is due to a change
in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be
entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to
Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (iv) above, the Company shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes. 


 

	 	(vi)	Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant
jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate. 

  

	 	(vii)	 If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a
claim that the Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in
circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for 



  

 46 









	 	 
any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or
otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees of attorneys for the
Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 


 3.6. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Company (with a copy to the
Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on
the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurocurrency Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurocurrency Loan through the purchase of a deposit of
the type, currency and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the
written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Company of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this
Agreement. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or any LC Issuer (or such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company) for any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 incurred more than 180 days
prior to the date such Lender or LC Issuer notifies the Borrowers of the applicable Change in Law (as described in Section 3.1), the applicable Change in Capital Adequacy Regulations (as described in Section 3.2), the applicable event
giving rise to funding indemnification (as described in Section 3.4) or the applicable Taxes (as described in Section 3.5) and of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s intention, as the case may be, to claim compensation therefor;
provided further that, if any Change in Law or Change in Capital Adequacy Regulations or Taxes giving rise to such requested amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof. 
 3.7. Alternative Lending Installation. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate
Lending Installation with respect to its Eurocurrency Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrowers to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurocurrency Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such
designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, reasonably disadvantageous to such Lender. A Lender’s designation of an alternative Lending Installation shall not affect any Borrower’s rights under Section 2.23 to replace a
Lender. 
  

 47

 ARTICLE V 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 Each
Borrower represents and warrants to each Lender, LC Issuer and the Agent as of each of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each other date as required by Section 4.2: 
 5.1. Existence and Standing. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership (in the case of Subsidiaries only) or limited
liability company duly and properly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization,
(ii) has all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to own, operate and encumber its Property and (iii) is qualified to do business and is in good standing (to the extent such
concept applies to such entity) in all jurisdictions where the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 50 








 5.2. Authorization and Validity. Each Credit Party has the requisite corporate, partnership or
limited liability company power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each Credit Party of the Loan Documents to which
it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which each Credit Party is a party
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Credit Party enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyances,
reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) requirements of
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 
 5.3. No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by any Credit
Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation by such Credit Party of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance by such Credit Party with the provisions thereof will violate (i) any applicable law, rule,
regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on such Credit Party or (ii) such Credit Party’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of
organization, by-laws, or operating agreement or other management agreement, as the case may be, or (iii) the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which such Credit Party is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its
Property, is bound, or conflict with, or constitute a default under, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of such Credit Party pursuant to the terms of, any such indenture, instrument or

potential risks and liabilities accruing to the Company or any Subsidiary due to Environmental Laws. On the basis of this consideration, the Company has concluded that Environmental Laws cannot 

  

 53 








 
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its operations
are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous

(within the meaning of the Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4). In the event any Borrower determines to take any action inconsistent with such intention, it will promptly notify the Agent thereof. Each Borrower acknowledges that one or more
of the Lenders may treat its Advances as part of a transaction that is subject to Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4 or Section 301.6112-1, and the Agent and such Lender or Lenders, as applicable, may file such IRS forms or maintain such
lists and other records as they may determine is required by such Treasury Regulations. 
 5.23. Post-Retirement Benefits. The present
value of the expected cost of post-retirement medical and insurance benefits payable by the Company and its Subsidiaries to its employees and former employees, as estimated by the Company in accordance with procedures and assumptions deemed

 ARTICLE VIII 
 ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES 
 8.1. Acceleration. (i) If any Default described in
Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to any Credit Party, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuers to issue Facility LCs shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall
immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender, and the Borrowers will be and become thereby unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to pay the
Agent an amount in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in the Facility LC Collateral Account, equal to (x) the amount of the LC Obligations at such time minus (y) the amount on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral
Account at such time which is free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties and has not been applied against the Obligations (the “Collateral Shortfall Amount”). Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 4.2, if any
other Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may (a) terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuers to issue
Facility LCs, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower hereby expressly
waives and (b) upon notice to the Borrowers and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all 

  

 72 








 
amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on the Borrowers to pay, and the Borrowers will forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice
or act pay to the Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account. 
  

	 	(ii)	If at any time while any Default is continuing, the Agent determines that the Collateral Shortfall Amount at such time is greater than zero, the Agent may make demand on the
Borrowers to pay, and the Borrowers will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.


  

	 	(iii)	The Agent may at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations and any other
amounts as shall from time to time have become due and payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders or the LC Issuers under the Loan Documents. 

  

	 	(iv)	At any time while any Default is continuing, no Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through any Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the
Facility LC Collateral Account. After all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated, any funds remaining in the Facility LC Collateral Account shall be returned by the
Agent to the Company or paid to whomever may be legally entitled thereto at such time. 

  

	 	(v)	If, after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the obligations and power of the LC Issuers to issue
Facility LCs hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to any Credit Party) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or
entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination. 

 8.2. Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2, the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent in writing of the
Required Lenders) and the Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or
thereunder or waiving any Default hereunder or thereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall: 
 8.2.1 Without the consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, extend the Revolving Loan Termination Date, extend the final maturity of any Revolving Loan or extend the expiry date of any Facility LC to a date after the Revolving Loan
Termination Date or postpone any regularly scheduled payment of principal of any Loan 

  

 73 








 
or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof, or any Reimbursement Obligation related thereto, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest or fees thereon or Reimbursement Obligations related thereto (other than a waiver of the application of the default rate of interest or LC Fees pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof, which shall only require the approval of the
Required Lenders). 
 8.2.2 Without the consent of each Lender, reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required
Lenders or any other percentage of Lenders specified to be the applicable percentage in this Agreement to act on specified matters or amend the definition of “Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share”. 
 8.2.3 Except as provided in Section 2.5.3, increase the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender hereunder without the

 No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Agent. The Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.3.3 without
obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Lender or any Swing Line Loan shall be effective without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender. No
amendment of any provisions of this Agreement relating to any LC Issuer shall be effective without the written consent of such LC Issuer. 
 8.3. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuers or the Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence
therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or Unmatured Default or the inability of a Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or
acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan
Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by, or by the Agent with the consent of, the requisite number of Lenders 

  

 74 








 
required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by

Borrowers, the Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Borrowers, the Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof other than those contained in the fee
letter described in Section 10.13 which shall survive and remain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement. 
 9.5.
Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Agent is authorized to
act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person
other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that the Arranger shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9.6, 9.10 and 10.11 to
the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement. 
 9.6. Expenses; Indemnification. 
  

	 	(i)	 The Borrowers shall reimburse the Agent and the Arranger for any reasonable costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including outside attorneys’
and paralegals’ fees and expenses of and fees for other advisors and professionals engaged by the Agent or the Arranger and, unless a Default shall be continuing, with the consent of the Company) paid or incurred by the Agent or the Arranger in
connection with the investigation, preparation, negotiation, documentation, 



  

 75 









	 	 
execution, delivery, syndication, distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet), review, amendment, modification and administration of the
Loan Documents. Each Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuers and the Lenders for any costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including outside attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses of
outside attorneys and paralegals for the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuers and the Lenders) paid or incurred by the Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer or any Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement of the Loan Documents. Expenses
being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section include, without limitation, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Reports described in the following sentence. Each Borrower acknowledges that from time to time JPMorgan may prepare
and may distribute to the Lenders (but shall have no obligation or duty to prepare or to distribute to the Lenders) certain audit reports (the “Reports”) pertaining to such Borrower’s assets for internal use by JPMorgan from
information furnished to it by or on behalf of such Borrower, after JPMorgan has exercised its rights of inspection pursuant to this Agreement. 


  

	 	(ii)	Each Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify the Agent, the Arranger, each LC Issuer, each Lender, their respective affiliates, and each of their directors, officers and
employees against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer, any Lender or any
affiliate is a party thereto, and all outside attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses of outside attorneys and paralegals of the party seeking indemnification) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Credit Extension hereunder except to the extent that they are determined in a
final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 9.6 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement. 

 9.7. Numbers of Documents. All statements, notices, closing documents, and requests
hereunder shall be furnished to the Agent with sufficient counterparts so that the Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders, to the extent that the Agent deems necessary. 
 9.8. Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used in the calculation of any financial covenant or test shall
be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder in the calculation of any financial covenant or test shall be made in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles. If any changes in generally accepted accounting principles are
hereafter required or permitted and are adopted by the Company or any Subsidiary with the agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such changes result in a change in the method of calculation of any of the financial covenants,
tests, restrictions or standards herein or in the related definitions or terms used therein (“Accounting Changes”), the parties hereto agree, at the Company’s request, to enter into negotiations, in good faith, in order to amend such
provisions in a credit neutral manner so as to reflect equitably such 

  

 76 








 
changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after
such changes as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, until such provisions are amended in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Required Lenders, no Accounting Change shall be given effect in such
calculations. In the event such amendment is entered into, all references in this Agreement to Agreement Accounting Principles shall mean generally accepted accounting principles, including the Accounting Change, as of the date of such amendment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial statements to be delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect at such time. 
 9.9. Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction
shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the
provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable. 
 9.10. Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the
Borrowers on the one hand and the Lenders, the LC Issuers and the Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent (except to the limited extent as provided by Section 12.3.4 relating to maintaining the
Register), the Arranger, the LC Issuers, nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Borrower or any other Credit Party. Neither the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuers nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Borrower
or any other Credit Party to review or inform any Credit Party of any matter in connection with any phase of any Credit Party’s business or operations. Each Borrower agrees that neither the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuers, nor any Lender
shall have liability to any Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established
by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. Neither the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuers nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and each Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. 
 9.11. Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive from any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement
in confidence in accordance with its respective customary practices (but in any event in accordance with reasonable confidentiality practices), except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates and to other Lenders and their respective Affiliates,
for use solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to such Lender or to a Transferee who are expected to be involved in the evaluation of such information
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case which have been informed as to the confidential nature of such information, (iii) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over it, (iv) to any Person as required by
law, regulation, or legal process, (v) of information that presently or hereafter 

  

 77 








 
becomes available to such Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Borrower and other than as a result of disclosure not otherwise
permitted by this Section 9.11, (vi) to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which such Lender is a party, (vii) to such Lender’s direct or indirect contractual counterparties in credit derivative transactions or
to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, in each case which have been informed as to the confidential nature of such information, (viii) permitted by Section 12.4 and (ix) to rating
agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Credit Extensions hereunder. Without limiting Section 9.4, each Borrower agrees that the terms of this Section 9.11 shall set forth the entire
agreement between the Borrowers and each Lender (including the Agent) with respect to any confidential information previously or hereafter received by such Lender in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and this
Section 9.11 shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by such Lender with respect to such confidential information. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, confidential information shall not include,
and each party hereto (and each employee, representative or other agent of any party hereto) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal income tax treatment and U.S. federal income tax structure of the
transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to such party relating to such tax treatment or tax structure, and it is hereby confirmed that each party hereto
has been authorized to make such disclosures since the commencement of discussions regarding the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 9.12.
Lenders Not Utilizing Plan Assets. Each Lender and Designated Lender represents and warrants that none of the consideration used by such Lender or Designated Lender to make its Loans constitutes for any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code assets of any “plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and the rights and interests of such Lender or Designated Lender in and under the Loan Documents shall not constitute such
“plan assets” under ERISA. 
 9.13. Nonreliance. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any
margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for herein. 
 9.14.
Disclosure. Each Borrower and each Lender, including the LC Issuers, hereby acknowledge and agree that each Lender and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with the
Borrowers and their Affiliates. 
 9.15. Performance of Obligations. Each Borrower agrees that the Agent may, but shall have no
obligation to (i) at any time, pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against any collateral for the Obligations and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of
a Default make any other payment or perform any act required of the Company or any Subsidiary under any Loan Document or take any other action which the Agent in its discretion deems necessary or desirable to protect or preserve the collateral, if
any, for the Obligations, including, without limitation, any action to (x) effect any repairs or obtain any insurance called for by the terms of any of the Loan Documents and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof
and (y) pay any rents payable by 

  

 78 








 
the Company or any Subsidiary which are more than 30 days past due, or as to which the landlord has given notice of termination, under any lease. The Agent
shall use its best efforts to give the Company notice of any action taken under this Section 9.15 prior to the taking of such action or promptly thereafter provided the failure to give such notice shall not affect any Borrower’s
obligations in respect thereof. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees to pay the Agent, upon demand, the principal amount of all funds advanced by the Agent under this Section 9.15, together with interest thereon at the rate from time to
time applicable to Floating Rate Loans from the date of such advance until the outstanding principal balance thereof is paid in full. If the Borrowers fail to make payment in respect of any such advance under this Section 9.15 within one
(1) Business Day after the date the Company receives written demand therefor from the Agent, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and each Lender agrees that it shall thereupon make available to the Agent, in Dollars in immediately
available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share of such advance. If such funds are not made available to the Agent by such Lender within one (1) Business Day after the Agent’s demand therefor, the
Agent will be entitled to recover any such amount from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of such demand and ending on the date such amount is
received. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Agent its Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share of any such unreimbursed advance under this Section 9.15 shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available
to the Agent such other Lender’s Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share of such advance on the date such payment is to be made nor increase the obligation of any other Lender to make such payment to the Agent. All outstanding principal of, and interest
on, advances made under this Section 9.15 shall constitute Obligations until paid in full by the Borrowers. 
 9.16. Relations Among
Lenders. 
 9.16.1 No Action Without Consent. Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender,
including the LC Issuers, in accordance with Section 11.1, the proceeds of which are applied in accordance with this Agreement, each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against any Borrower
or any other obligor hereunder or with respect to any Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or, as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, with the consent of the Agent. 
 9.16.2 Not Partners; No Liability. The Lenders, including the LC Issuers, are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be
liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of
and interest on any Loan or any Facility LC after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
  

 79 








 9.17. USA Patriot Act Notification. The following notification is provided to the Borrowers
pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318: 
 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or
entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. What this means for the Borrowers: When a Borrower opens an account, the Agent and the
Lenders will ask for such Borrower’s name, tax identification number, business address, and other information that will allow the Agent and the Lenders to identify such Borrower. The Agent and the Lenders may also ask to see such
Borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents. 
 ARTICLE X 
 THE AGENT 
 10.1. Appointment;
Nature of Relationship. JPMorgan is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Agent”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably
authorizes the Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express
conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any of the Holders of Obligations
(including, without limitation, the Lenders) by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Holders of Obligations, (ii) is a “representative”
of the Holders of Obligations within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates as Holders of Obligations, hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Agent on any agency theory or any other
theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Holder of Obligations hereby waives. 
 10.2. Powers. The
Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall have no implied duties or
fiduciary duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent. 
 10.3. General Immunity. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Borrower, any Subsidiary,
any Lender or any Holder of Obligations for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any 

  

 80 








 
other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by
a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. 
 10.4. No
Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation
made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to
furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or
Unmatured Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value sufficiency, creation, perfection or
priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the Company, any Subsidiary or any guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the Company’s, such Subsidiary’s or any such guarantor’s
respective Subsidiaries. The Agent shall have no duty to disclose, and shall have no liability for the failure to disclose, to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by any Borrower to the Agent at such time, but is voluntarily
furnished by such Borrower to the Agent (either in its capacity as Agent or in its individual capacity) or any of its Affiliates. 
 10.5.
Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (or
all of the Lenders in the event that and to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires such approval), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby
acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required
Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the event that and to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires such approval). The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless
it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 
 10.6. Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Agent may execute any of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through
employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document. 

10.7. Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail message, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been 

  

 81 








 
signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel may be
employees of the Agent. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, each Lender that has signed this Agreement (or otherwise become party hereto pursuant to an Assignment Agreement) shall be
deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice from
such Lender prior to the applicable date specifying its objection thereto. 
 10.8. Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification.
The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent ratably in proportion to the Lenders’ Revolving Loan Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (or, if the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated, of the
Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrowers for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by any Credit Party under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the
Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with any dispute
between the Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation,
for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Agent in connection with any dispute between the Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other
documents, provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(vii) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof.
The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 
 10.9. Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Company referring to
this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. 

10.10. Rights as a Lender. In the event the Agent is a Lender, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other
Loan Document with respect to its Revolving Loan Commitment and its Credit Extensions as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Agent
is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in
addition to those 

  

 82 








 
contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Company or any Subsidiary in which the Company or such Subsidiary is not restricted
hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender. 
 10.11. Lender
Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Company and such other documents and information as
it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Arranger or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 10.12. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company, such resignation to be
effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent or, if no successor Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right
to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then
the resigning Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Agent. Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences: (x) subject to clause (y) of this sentence, the consent of the Borrowers shall be
required prior to the appointment of a successor Agent unless such successor Agent is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, provided that the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing, and
(y) the Agent may at any time without the consent of any Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Agent hereunder. If the Agent has resigned and no successor Agent has been appointed, the
Lenders may perform all the duties of the Agent hereunder and the Borrowers shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Agent shall be
deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Agent, the resigning
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor to the Agent by merger, or the Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an
Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Agent. 
 10.13. Agent and Arranger Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Agent and the Arranger, for their respective accounts, the fees agreed to by the
Company, the Agent, and the Arranger pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated October 11, 2007, or as otherwise agreed from time to time. 
  

 83 








 10.14. Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrowers and the Lenders agree that the Agent may delegate
any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits
of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X. 
 10.15. No Duties
Imposed on Syndication Agent, Documentation Agents or Arranger. None of the Persons identified on the cover page to this Agreement, the signature pages to this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent,”
“Documentation Agent” or “Arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, if such Person is a Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting
the foregoing, none of the Persons identified on the cover page to this Agreement, the signature pages to this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent,” “Documentation Agent” or “Arranger” shall
have or be deemed to have any fiduciary duty to or fiduciary relationship with any Holder of Obligations. Each of the Holders of Obligations acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Persons so identified in deciding to
enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS 
 11.1.
Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any other Default occurs and continues, any and all deposits (including all account
balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender to or for the credit or account of such Borrower or any Subsidiary
may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due. 
 11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4
or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a participation in the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure held by the other Lenders so that after such
purchase each Lender will hold its Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral
or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to
their respective Revolving Loan Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made. 
  

 84 








 ARTICLE XII 
 BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS 
 12.1. Successors and Assigns; Designated
Lenders. 
 12.1.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Borrower shall have any right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents
without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3, and (iii) any transfer by Participants must be made in compliance with Section 12.2. Any attempted
assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 12.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with Section 12.3.2. The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 12.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or
assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank, (y) in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee or (z) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to direct or indirect contractual
counterparties in credit derivative transactions relating to the Loans; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties
thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3;
provided, however, that the Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee
of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such
authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

 12.1.2 Designated Lenders. 
  

	 	(i)	Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 12.1.2, any Lender may from time to time elect to designate an Eligible Designee to provide all or any part of the
Loans to be made by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the designation of an Eligible Designee by any Lender for purposes of this Section 12.1.2 shall be subject to the approval of the Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the execution by the parties to each such designation of an agreement in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “Designation Agreement”) and the acceptance thereof by the Agent, the Eligible Designee shall
become a Designated Lender for purposes of this Agreement. The Designating Lender shall thereafter have the right to permit the Designated Lender to provide all or a portion of the Loans to be made by the Designating Lender pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement and the making of the Loans or portion thereof shall satisfy the obligations of the Designating Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan was made by the Designating Lender. As to any Loan made by it, each Designated Lender
shall have all the rights a Lender making such Loan would have under this Agreement and otherwise; provided, (x) that all voting rights under this Agreement shall be exercised solely by the Designating Lender, (y) each Designating Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for its obligations under this Agreement, including the obligations of a Lender in respect of Loans made by its Designated Lender and (z) no Designated Lender shall be entitled to
reimbursement under Article III hereof for any amount which would exceed the amount that would have been payable by the Borrowers to the Lender from which the Designated Lender obtained any interests hereunder. No additional Notes shall be required
with respect to Loans provided by a Designated Lender; provided, however, to the extent any Designated Lender shall advance funds, the Designating Lender shall be deemed to hold the Notes in its possession as an agent for such Designated Lender to
the extent of the Loan funded by such Designated Lender. Such Designating Lender shall act as administrative agent for its Designated Lender and give and receive notices and communications hereunder. Any payments for the account of any Designated
Lender shall be paid to its Designating Lender as administrative agent for such Designated Lender and no Borrower nor the Agent shall be responsible for any Designating Lender’s application of such payments. In addition, any Designated Lender
may (1) with notice to, but without the consent of any Borrower or the Agent, assign all or portions of its interests in any Loans to its Designating Lender or to any financial institution consented to by the Agent providing liquidity and/or
credit facilities to or for the account of such Designated Lender and (2) subject to advising any such Person that such information is to be treated as confidential in accordance with Section 9.11, disclose on a confidential basis any
non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any guarantee, surety or credit or liquidity enhancement to such Designated Lender. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees that it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Designated Lender any 



  

 86 









	 	 
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law for
one year and a day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any Designated Lender; provided that the Designating Lender for each Designated Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto
for any loss, cost, damage and expense arising out of its inability to institute any such proceeding against such Designated Lender. This Section 12.1.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 


 12.2. Participations. 
 12.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender, any Note
held by such Lender, any Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations
under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure and the
holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the
Borrowers and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 12.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Credit Extension or Revolving Loan Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of
all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2. 
 12.2.3 Benefit of Certain Provisions. Each Borrower
agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating
interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The
Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share 

  

 87 








 
with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if
each Participant were a Lender. Each Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
Section 12.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it
retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrowers, and (ii) any Participant not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America
or any State thereof agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender. 
 12.3.
Assignments. 
 12.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other
entities (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be evidenced by an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C or in such other form as may be agreed to by the
parties thereto (each such agreement, an “Assignment Agreement”). Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall, unless otherwise consented to in writing by the
Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, the Agent and each LC Issuer, either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure of the assigning Lender or (unless each of the Agent and, prior to the occurrence and
continuance of a Default, the Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000. The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure subject to the
assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the “Trade Date,” if the “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment Agreement. 
 12.3.2 Consents. The consent of the Company shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (other than a Lender or Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund that becomes a Lender solely by means of the settlement of a credit derivative), provided that the consent of the Company shall
not be required if (i) a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) if such assignment is in connection with the physical settlement of any Lender’s obligations to direct or indirect 

  

 88 








 
contractual counterparties in credit derivative transactions relating to the Loans; provided, that the assignment without the Company’s consent pursuant
to clause (ii) shall not increase the Borrowers’ liability under Section 3.5. The consent of the Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund (other than a Lender or Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund that becomes a Lender solely by means of the settlement of a credit derivative). The consent of the LC Issuers shall be required prior to any assignment becoming
effective. Any consent required under this Section 12.3.2 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 12.3.3
Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Agent of an Assignment Agreement, together with any consents required by Sections 12.3.1 and 12.3.2, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Agent by the assigning Lender or the
Purchaser for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Agent or unless such assignment is made to such assigning Lender’s Affiliate), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment.
The Assignment Agreement shall contain a representation and warranty by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the funds, money, assets or other consideration used to make the purchase and assumption of the Revolving Loan Commitment and
Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure under the applicable Assignment Agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights, benefits and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be
“plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all
the rights, benefits and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Revolving Loan Commitment and Outstanding
Revolving Credit Exposure assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by the Company, the Lenders or the Agent. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights, benefits and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and
termination of the Loan Documents. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.3 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.2. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a 

  

 89 








 
Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.3, the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrowers shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires
that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that, upon cancellation and surrender to the Company of the Notes (if any) held by the transferor Lender, new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such
transferor Lender, if applicable, and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Revolving Loan Commitments (or, if the Revolving Loan Termination Date
has occurred, their respective Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure) as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. 
 12.3.4
Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and each Borrower hereby designates the Agent to act in such capacity), shall maintain at one of its offices in Chicago, Illinois a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts of and interest on the Loans owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or assignee of another Lender pursuant to an assignment under this Section 13.3. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers,
the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by any Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 12.4.
Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any
prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Company and the Subsidiaries; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of
this Agreement. 
 12.5. Tax Certifications. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is not
organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5(iv).

 ARTICLE XVI 
 CO-BORROWER PROVISIONS 
 16.1. Appointment. Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably
designates, appoints and authorizes each other Borrower as its agent and attorney-in-fact to take actions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent and the Lenders
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication from or to any Borrower as having been delivered by or to all Borrowers. Any action taken by one Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be binding upon each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Agent and the Lenders for the payment of (i) the Obligations and (ii) all Rate Management Obligations owing to any Holder of
Obligations (collectively, the “Co-Borrower Obligations”) and that such liability is independent of the Obligations and Rate Management Obligations of each other Borrower and whether such Obligations and/or Rate Management Obligations
become unenforceable against any other Borrower. 
 16.2. Separate Actions. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted
against any Borrower whether such action is brought against any other Borrower or whether any other Borrower is joined in such action or actions. Each Borrower authorizes the Agent and the Lenders to release the other Borrowers without in any manner
or to any extent affecting the liability of such Borrower hereunder or under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower, or the cessation for any reason whatsoever
of the liability of any other Borrower with respect to any of the Co-Borrower Obligations, or any claim that such Borrower’s liability hereunder exceeds or is more burdensome than the liability of any other Borrower. 
 16.3. Co-Borrower Obligations Absolute and Unconditional. Each Borrower hereby agrees that its Co-Borrower Obligations hereunder and under the
Loan Documents shall be unconditional, irrespective of: 
 (a) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of any of the
Co-Borrower Obligations or any of the Loan Documents as to any other Borrower; 
 (b) the absence of any attempt by, or on behalf of, the
Agent or any Lender to collect, or to take any other action to enforce, all or any part of the Co-Borrower Obligations whether from or against any other Borrower or any other Person liable for such Co-Borrower Obligations; 
 (c) the election of any remedy available under the Loan Documents or applicable law by, or on behalf of, the Agent or any Lender with respect to all or
any part of the Co-Borrower Obligations; 
 (d) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by, or on behalf
of, the Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any of the Loan Documents; 
  

 94 








 (e) the failure of the Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security
interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Co-Borrower Obligations; 
 (f) the election by, or on behalf
of, the Agent or any Lender, in any proceeding described in Section 8.01(f), involving any other Borrower of any right which is comparable to the rights set forth in Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; 
 (g) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower or any receiver or assignee following the occurrence of any event described in
Section 8.01(f), pursuant to any provision of applicable law comparable to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; 
 (h) the
disallowance, under any provision of applicable law comparable to Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims against any other Borrower held by any Lender or any Agent, for repayment of all or any part of the
Co-Borrower Obligations; 
 (i) the insolvency of any other Borrower; and 
 (j) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of such Borrower (other than payment in full in
cash of the Co-Borrower Obligations and the termination of the Commitments). 
 16.4. Waivers and Acknowledgements. 
 16.4.1 Except as otherwise expressly provided under any provision of the Loan Documents or as required by any mandatory provision of
applicable law, each Borrower hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy of any Borrower or any other Person, protest or notice with respect to the
Co-Borrower Obligations, all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, the benefits of all statutes of limitation, and all other demands whatsoever (and shall not require that the same be made on any other Borrower as a condition precedent to such other Borrower’s Co-Borrower Obligations hereunder), and
covenants that this Agreement (and the joint and several liability of each Borrower under Section 11.01) will not be discharged, except by payment in full in cash of the Co-Borrower Obligations and the termination of the Commitments. Each
Borrower further waives all notices of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Indebtedness, arising either from additional loans extended to any other Borrower or otherwise, and also waives all notices that the principal amount,
or any portion thereof, and/or any interest on any instrument or document 

  

 95 








 
evidencing all or any part of the Co-Borrower Obligations is due, notices of any and all proceedings to collect from the maker, any endorser or any other
guarantor of all or any part of the Co-Borrower Obligations, or from any other Person, and, to the extent permitted by law, notices of exchange, sale, surrender or other handling of any security or collateral given to the Agent or any Lender to
secure payment of all or any part of the Co-Borrower Obligations. 
 16.4.2 The Agent and/or the Lenders are hereby
authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of the Borrowers hereunder, from time to time, (i) to accept partial payments on all or any part of the Co-Borrower Obligations; (ii) to take and hold security or
collateral for the payment of all or any part of the Co-Borrower Obligations, this Agreement, or any other guaranties of all or any part of the Co-Borrower Obligations or other liabilities of the Borrowers, and (iii) to settle, release,
exchange, enforce, waive, compromise or collect or otherwise liquidate all or any part of the Co-Borrower Obligations, this Agreement, any guaranty of all or any part of the Co-Borrower Obligations, and any security or collateral for the Co-Borrower
Obligations or for any such guaranty, irrespective of the effect on the contribution or subrogation rights of the Borrowers. Any of the foregoing may be done in any manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of each Borrower hereunder.

 16.5. Contribution Among Borrowers. The Borrowers agree as between themselves and without limiting any liability of any Borrower
hereunder to the Agent or the Lenders, that to the extent any payment of the Co-Borrower Obligations of the Borrowers is required to be made under this Agreement, to the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Agreement (a
“Borrower Payment”) which, taking into account all other Borrower Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Borrower if each
Borrower had paid the aggregate Co-Borrower Obligations satisfied by such Borrower Payment in the same proportion as such Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Borrower Payment) bore
to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Borrower Payment, then, following payment in full in cash of the Co-Borrower Obligations, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive
contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Borrower Payment. As of any date of
determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Agreement without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under
Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. 
  

 96 








 16.6. Subrogation. Until the Co-Borrower Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and the
Commitments shall have been terminated, each Borrower hereby agrees that it (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to such Co-Borrower Obligations (under contract, Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision
of any other applicable law, or otherwise) or any other right of indemnity, reimbursement or contribution, and (ii) hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Agent or any Lender may now have or may hereafter have against any other
Borrower, any endorser or any other Guarantor of all or any part of the Co-Borrower Obligations or any other Person, and each Borrower hereby waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Agent and
the Lenders to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Co-Borrower Obligations or any other liability of any other Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders. 
 16.7. Subordination. Each Borrower agrees that any and all claims of such Borrower against the other Borrowers, the Guarantors or any endorser or
other guarantor of all or any part of the Co-Borrower Obligations, or against any of their respective properties, shall be subordinated to all of the Co-Borrower Obligations. Notwithstanding any right of any Borrower to ask for, demand, sue for,
take or receive any payment from any other Borrower, all rights and Liens of such Borrower, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of such other Borrower (whether constituting part of any collateral or otherwise)
shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of the Agent or the Lenders in those assets. Such Borrower shall have no right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless
and until all of the Co-Borrower Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments shall have been terminated. If all or any part of the assets of any Borrower, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or
application to the creditors of such Borrower, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or
proceeding, or if the business of any Borrower is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any Borrower are sold, then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other
property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any Indebtedness of any Borrower to any other Borrower (“Inter-Borrower Debt”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Agent for application to the Co-Borrower
Obligations, due or to become due, until such Co-Borrower Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. Each Borrower irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Agent and each of the Lenders to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such
payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and to make and present for and on behalf of such Borrower such proofs of claim and take such other action, in the Agent’s or such Lender’s own name or in the name of such Borrower or
otherwise, as the Agent or any Lender may deem reasonably necessary or reasonably advisable for the enforcement of this Agreement. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Unmatured Default, each Lender may vote, with
respect to the Co-Borrower Obligations owed to it, such proofs of claim in any such proceeding, receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made thereon in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and apply the
same on account of any of the Co-Borrower Obligations. Except as permitted under Sections 7.02(d) and (e), should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by any Borrower upon or with respect to the
Inter-Borrower Debt prior to the payment in full in cash of all of the Co-Borrower Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit

of the Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Agent in precisely the form received (accompanied by the endorsement or assignment
of such Borrower where necessary), for application to the Co-Borrower Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such Borrower as the property of the Agent and the Lenders. After the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Default or an Unmatured Default, if any Borrower fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Agent or the Lenders, the Agent or the Lenders (or any of their respective officers or employees) are hereby
irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Borrower agrees that until the Co-Borrower Obligations have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments have been terminated, such Borrower will not assign or transfer to any Person any claim such
Borrower has or may have against any other Borrower (other than in favor of the Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents). 
 ARTICLE XVII 

 AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT 
 17.1. Amendment and Restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement (a) shall re-evidence the Borrowers’ indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement,
(b) is entered into in substitution for, and not in payment of, the obligations of the Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement, and (c) is in no way intended to constitute a novation of any of the Borrowers’ indebtedness which
was evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the other “Loan Documents” (as such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement before giving effect to this Agreement). The parties to this Agreement agree that, upon
(x) the execution and delivery by each of the parties hereto of this Agreement and (y) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IV, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be and hereby are amended,
superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. All “Loans” made and obligations incurred under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Closing Date shall
continue as Loans and obligations under (and shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the effectiveness hereof: (a) all references in the “Loan Documents” (as
such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement before giving effect to this Agreement) to the “Administrative Agent”, the “Agent”, the “Agreement” and the “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to refer to
the Administrative Agent, the Agent, this Agreement and the Loan Documents, (b) Facility LCs which remain outstanding on the Closing Date shall continue as Facility LCs and shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, (c) the Agent
shall make such reallocations, sales, assignments or other relevant actions in respect of each Lender’s credit and loan exposure under the Existing Credit Agreement as are necessary in order that each such Lender’s Revolving Loan
Commitment hereunder reflects such Lender’s Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share of the outstanding aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments on the Closing Date, (d) the existing “Loans” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement
of any exiting Lender shall be repaid in full (accompanied by any accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon) and each such exiting Lender’s “Commitment” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement shall be terminated and
(f) the Company hereby agrees to compensate each Lender for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any break funding events (as described in Section 3.4) arising out of the sale and assignment of
any Eurocurrency Loans (including the “Eurocurrency Loans” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and such reallocation described above, in each case on the terms and in the manner set forth in Section 3.4 hereof.

 The Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate shall be Level II Status until the delivery of the
Financials for the fiscal period ending October 27, 2007. 
 For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following
meanings, subject to the final paragraph of this Schedule: 
 “Financials” means the annual or quarterly financial statements of
the Company delivered pursuant to Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2. 
 “Level I Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the
fiscal quarter of the Company referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00. 
 “Level II Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Company referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the Company has not qualified for Level I Status and (ii) the Leverage Ratio
is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00. 
 “Level III Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the
Company referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the Company has not qualified for Level I Status or Level II Status and (ii) the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00. 
 “Level IV Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Company referred to in the most recent Financials,
(i) the Company has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status or Level III Status and (iii) the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00. 
 “Level V Status” exists at any date if the Company has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status or Level IV Status. 







 “Status” means Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status or Level V
Status. 
 The Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on the
Company’s Status as reflected in the then most recent Financials. Adjustments, if any, to the Applicable Margin or Applicable Fee Rate shall be effective five Business Days after the Agent has received the applicable Financials. If the Company
fails to deliver the Financials to the Agent at the time required pursuant to Section 6.1, then the Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate shall be the highest Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate set forth in the foregoing table until
five days after such Financials are so delivered. 







 MANDATORY COST SCHEDULE 
  

	1.	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial
Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 

  

	2.	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Associated Costs Rate”) for each
Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Associated Costs Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in
the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. 

  

	3.	The Associated Costs Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This percentage
will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum
reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office. 

  

	4.	The Associated Costs Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows: 

  

	 	(a)	in relation to a Loan in British Pounds Sterling: 

  

			
	AB + C (B – D) + E x 0.01	 	 
	100 – (A + C)	 	per cent per annum

  

	 	(b)	in relation to a Loan in any currency other than British Pounds Sterling: 

  

			
	E x 0.01	 	 
	300	 	per cent per annum.

 Where: 
  

	 	A	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash
ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements. 









	 	B	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in
Section 2.12 payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan). 

  

	 	C	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.


  

	 	D	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits. 

  

	 	E	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the
Reference Banks to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 

  

	5.	For the purposes of this Schedule: 

  

	 	(a)	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be
appropriate) by the Bank of England; 

  

	 	(b)	“Facility Office” means the office or offices notified by a Lender to the Agent in writing on or before the date it becomes a Lender (or, following that date, by not less
than five Business Days’ written notice) as the office or offices through which it will perform its obligations under this Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of
the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 

  

	 	(d)	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required
pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); 

  

	 	(e)	“Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Union that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the
European Union relating to economic and monetary union. 

  

	 	(f)	“Reference Banks” means, in relation to Mandatory Cost, the principal London offices of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. 

  

	 	(g)	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. 









	 	(h)	“Unpaid Sum” means any sum due and payable but unpaid by any Borrower under the Loan Documents. 

  

	6.	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A
negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places. 

  

	7.	If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of charge payable
by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee
Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank. 

  


	8.	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Associated Costs Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall
supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: 

  

	 	(i)	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and 

  

	 	(j)	any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. 

 Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph. 
  

	9.	The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon
the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same
as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office. 

  

	10.	The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Associated Costs Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume
that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects. 

  

	11.	The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Associated Costs Rate for each Lender based on the
information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above. 









	12.	Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Associated Costs Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 

  

	13.	The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the relevant Lenders, determine and notify to all parties hereto any amendments which are required to be
made to this Mandatory Cost Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any
other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
