AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2007, (this
Agreement) among the financial institutions from time to time parties hereto (such financial institutions, together with their respective successors and assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a Lender and
collectively as the Lenders), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. having its principal office at 120 S. LaSalle Street, 8thFloor, Chicago, IL 60603, as agent for the Lenders (in its capacity as agent, the Agent), and OMNOVA Solutions Inc., an Ohio corporation, with offices at 175 Ghent Road, Fairlawn, Ohio 44333 (the Borrower).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of May 28, 2003 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time
prior to the date hereof, the Prior Credit Agreement), Lenders party to the Prior Credit Agreement extended a revolving line of credit for loans and letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $100,000,000;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested the Lenders to (i) make available to the Borrower a revolving line of credit for loans and
letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $80,000,000, consisting of the continuation of the loans outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement which extensions of credit the Borrower will use for the purposes permitted hereunder and
(ii) amend and restate the provisions of the Prior Credit Agreement as set forth herein;

WHEREAS, capitalized terms
used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein; the rules of construction contained therein shall govern the interpretation of this
Agreement, and all Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference;

WHEREAS, the
Lenders have agreed to (i) make available to the Borrower a revolving credit facility upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and (ii) amend and restate the Prior Credit Agreement as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Lenders, the Agent, and the Borrower hereby agree to amend and restate the Prior Credit Agreement as set forth herein.

ARTICLE 1

LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

1.1    Total Facility. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree to make
available a total credit facility of up to $80,000,000 (the Total Facility) to the Borrower from time to time during the term of this Agreement. The Total Facility shall be composed of a revolving line of credit consisting of Revolving
Loans and Letters of Credit described herein.



---

1.2    Revolving Loans.

(a)    (i)    Amounts. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth
in Article 8, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees, upon the Borrowers request from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date, to make revolving loans, including, without
duplication, Swing Line Loans (the Revolving Loans) to the Borrower in amounts not to exceed such Lenders Pro Rata Share of Availability, except for Agent Advances. The Lenders, however, in their unanimous discretion, may
elect to make Revolving Loans or issue or arrange to have issued Letters of Credit in excess of the Borrowing Base on one or more occasions, but if they do so, neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of
the Borrowing Base or to be obligated to exceed such limits on any other occasion. If any Borrowing would exceed Availability, the Lenders may refuse to make or may otherwise restrict the making of Revolving Loans as the Lenders determine until such
excess has been eliminated, subject to the Agents authority, in its sole discretion, to make Agent Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2(i).

(ii)    The Revolving Loans of each Lender shall be evidenced by this Agreement. At the request of any Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a note to
further evidence the Revolving Loan of that Lender. Each note shall be in the principal amount of the Lenders Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, dated the date hereof and substantially in the form of Exhibit A-l (each a
Revolving Loan Note and, collectively, the Revolving Loan Notes). Each Revolving Loan Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay the amount of Lenders Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, or, if
less, such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans to Borrower together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 1.2. The entire unpaid balance of the Revolving Loan and all
other non-contingent Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Termination Date.

(b)    Procedure for Borrowing.

(1)    Each Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrowers irrevocable written notice delivered to the Agent in the form of a notice of borrowing (Notice of Borrowing), which must be received by the Agent
prior to (i) 12:00 noon (Chicago time) three Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of Eurodollar Revolving Loans and (ii) 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the requested Funding Date, in the case of Alternate Base Rate
Revolving Loans, specifying:

(A)    the amount of the Borrowing of a Eurodollar Revolving Loan must
equal or exceed $5,000,000 (and increments of $1,000,000 in excess of such amount);

(B)    the
requested Funding Date, which must be a Business Day;

(C)    whether the Revolving Loans requested
are to be Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for an Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loan); and



2



---

(D)    the duration of the Interest Period for Eurodollar Revolving
Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for an Interest Period of one month);

provided, however, that with respect to
the Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, such Borrowings will consist of Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans only.

(2)    In lieu of delivering a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower may give the Agent telephonic notice of such request for advances to the Designated Account on or before the deadline set forth above. The Agent at all
times shall be entitled to rely on such telephonic notice in making such Revolving Loans, regardless of whether any written confirmation is received.

(3)    The Borrower shall have no right to request a Eurodollar Revolving Loan while a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c)    Reliance upon Authority. Prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, a notice
setting forth the account of the Borrower (Designated Account) to which the Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds of the Revolving Loans requested hereunder. The Borrower may designate a replacement account from time to time by
written notice. All such Designated Accounts must be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The Agent is entitled to rely conclusively on any persons request for Revolving Loans on behalf of the Borrower, so long as the proceeds thereof are to
be transferred to the Designated Account. The Agent has no duty to verify the identity of any individual representing himself or herself as a person authorized by the Borrower to make such requests on its behalf.

(d)    No Liability. The Agent shall not incur any liability to the Borrower as a result of acting upon any
notice referred to in Sections 1.2(b) and (c), which the Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an officer or other person duly authorized by the Borrower to request Revolving Loans on its behalf. The crediting of Revolving
Loans to the Designated Account conclusively establishes the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving Loans as provided herein.

(e)    Notice Irrevocable. Any Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) shall be irrevocable. The Borrower shall be bound to
borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith.

(f)    Agents Election.
Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Agent shall elect to have the terms of Section 1.2(g) or the terms of Section 1.2(h) apply to such requested Borrowing. If the Bank
declines in its sole discretion to make a Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 1.2(h), the terms of Section 1.2(g) shall apply to the requested Borrowing.

(g)    Making of Revolving Loans. If Agent elects to have the terms of this Section 1.2(g) apply
to a requested Borrowing, then promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice in lieu thereof, the Agent shall notify the Lenders by telecopy, telephone or e-mail of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall transfer its Pro
Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Agent in immediately available funds, to the account from time to time designated by Agent, not later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the

---

applicable Funding Date. After the Agents receipt of all proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans
available to the Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds to the account designated by the Borrower; provided, however, that the amount of Revolving Loans so made on any date shall not exceed the
Availability on such date.

(h)    Making of Swing Line Loans.

(A)    If Agent elects, with the consent of the Bank, to have the terms of this Section 1.2(h) apply to
a requested Borrowing, the Bank shall make a Revolving Loan in the amount of that Borrowing available to the Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds to Borrowers Designated Account. Each Revolving Loan made
solely by the Bank pursuant to this Section is herein referred to as a Swing Line Loan, and such Revolving Loans are collectively referred to as the Swing Line Loans. Each Swing Line Loan shall be subject to all the terms and
conditions applicable to other Revolving Loans except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Bank solely for its own account. The aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $10,000,000 (the Swing
Line Commitment). The Agent shall not request the Bank to make any Swing Line Loan if (1) the Agent has received written notice from any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 will not
be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed Availability on that Funding Date.

(B)    The Swing Line Loans shall be secured by the Agents Liens in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans and Obligations
hereunder.

(C)    Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Bank a promissory note to evidence the
Swing Line Commitment. Such note shall be in the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment of the Bank, dated the Closing Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 (the Swing Line Note). The Swing Line Note
shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay the amount of the Swing Line Commitment or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Swing Line Loans made to Borrower together with interest thereon as prescribed in
Section 2.1.

(i)    Agent Advances.

(A)    Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Agent is authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders, from
time to time in the Agents sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have not been satisfied, to make
Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans to the Borrower on behalf of the Lenders in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $5,000,000 (but not to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount) which the Agent, in its reasonable business
judgment, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (3) to pay any
other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses as



4



---

described in Section 13.7 (any of such advances are herein referred to as Agent Advances); provided, that the Required Lenders
may at any time revoke the Agents authorization to make Agent Advances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Agents receipt thereof.

(B)    The Agent Advances shall be secured by the Agents Liens in and to the Collateral and shall constitute
Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans and Obligations hereunder.

(j)    Increased Commitments.

(A)    So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, at any
time prior to the Closing Date and on one or more occasions up to a maximum of four occasions, Borrower may propose to increase the Total Facility by $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, but in an aggregate amount not to exceed $20,000,000,
in accordance with and pursuant to this Section 1.2(j).

(B)    Such proposal (an
Increased Commitment Proposal) may be delivered by Borrower to Agent and Lenders and, subject to paragraph (C) below, to Eligible Assignees approved by Borrower, in each case, with the prior written consent of Agent, and
shall set forth the amount of proposed increase of the Commitments (the Additional Commitment).

(C)    The Increased Commitment Proposal shall be offered on a first priority basis to Lenders, who may accept, but are not obligated to accept, based on their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Commitments.
If the total amount of the Additional Commitment is not accepted by Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares, then Lenders may accept, but are not obligated to accept, the remaining portions of the Additional Commitment on a non-pro rata
basis. To the extent that Lenders do not accept any portion of the Additional Commitment, the Increased Commitment Proposal may be offered to Eligible Assignees approved by Agent. Agent shall have discretion to adjust the allocation of the
Additional Commitment between and among Lenders that accept the Increased Commitment Proposal and Eligible Assignees that accept the Increased Commitment Proposal.

(D)    Borrower, the Lenders accepting such Increased Commitment Proposal and the Eligible Assignees accepting such Increased Commitment Proposal shall have entered into an
agreement (an Increased Commitment Agreement) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent pursuant to which, among other things, (1) Lenders and Eligible Assignees party thereto shall have accepted the Increased
Commitment Proposal, (2) the Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to be bound by this Agreement and shall have made the representations and warranties required of an assignee of Loans and Commitments under Section 11.2, (3) the
terms of the Increased Commitment Proposal and the terms required by this Section 1.2(j) shall have been incorporated into this Agreement (which incorporation shall constitute an amendment of this Agreement and shall not require the
consent of Required Lenders (so long as such Increased Commitment Agreement is limited to implementing the Increased Commitment Proposal and provisions reasonably related thereto as reasonably determined by Agent), (4) the Borrower shall have
consented to the terms of the Increased Commitment Agreement, and (5) Borrower shall have issued to each Lender that requests the



5



---

same a new Revolving Note in an amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender (after giving effect to the increase of such Lenders Commitment).

(E)    On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments under this
Section 1.2(j), (i) (x) all necessary Revolving Loans shall be made under the Additional Commitment and (y) a portion of those increased fundings shall be applied to the Revolving Loan held by Lenders whose percentage
share of the outstanding Revolving Loan exceeds their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment (after giving effect to such increase in the Commitment), in each case, so that the percentage share of the outstanding Revolving Loan held by each
Lender equals its Pro Rata Share of the Commitment, and (ii) the percentage interest of each Lender in each participation in each undrawn Letter of Credit (whether then outstanding or thereafter issued) shall equal its percentage interest in
the Commitment (after giving effect to such increase in the Commitment). From and after that date, each Revolving Loan shall be made in accordance with the Commitments after giving effect to such increase in the Commitment, and each repayment of a
Revolving Loan shall be applied in accordance with the Commitments after giving effect to such increase in the Commitments.

(F)    All Revolving Loans made pursuant to the Additional Commitment shall constitute Revolving Loans, shall constitute Obligations, shall be secured pari passuby the Collateral and shall be repaid in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

1.3    Letters of Credit.

(a)    Agreement to Issue or Cause To Issue. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Agent
agrees (i) to cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue for the account of the Borrower one or more commercial/documentary and standby letters of credit (Letter of Credit) and/or (ii) to provide credit support or other
enhancement to a Letter of Credit Issuer acceptable to Agent, which issues a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (any such credit support or enhancement being herein referred to as a Credit Support) from time to time during
the term of this Agreement.

(b)    Amounts; Outside Expiration Date. The Agent shall not have
any obligation to issue or cause to be issued any Letter of Credit or to provide Credit Support for any Letter of Credit at any time if: (i) the maximum face amount of the requested Letter of Credit is greater than the Unused Letter of Credit
Subfacility at such time; (ii) the maximum undrawn amount of the requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due from the Borrower in connection with the opening thereof would exceed Availability at such time; or
(iii) such Letter of Credit has an expiration date less than five (5) days prior to the Stated Termination Date or more than 12 months from the date of issuance (provided that any Letter of Credit with a 12-month tenor may provide for the
renewal thereof for additional 12-month periods, which shall in no event extend beyond five (5) days prior to the Stated Termination Date). With respect to any Letter of Credit which contains any evergreen or automatic renewal
provision, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to any such extension or renewal unless any such Lender shall have provided to the Agent, written notice that it declines to consent to any such extension or renewal at least thirty
(30) days prior to the date on which the Letter of Credit Issuer is entitled to decline to extend or renew the Letter of Credit. If all of the requirements of this



6



---

Section 1.3 are met and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall decline to consent to any such extension
or renewal.

(c)    Other Conditions. In addition to conditions precedent contained in
Article 8, the obligation of the Agent to issue or to cause to be issued any Letter of Credit or to provide Credit Support for any Letter of Credit is subject to the following conditions precedent having been satisfied in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent:

(1)    The Borrower shall have delivered to the Letter of Credit Issuer,
at such times and in such manner as such Letter of Credit Issuer may prescribe, an application in form and substance satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer and reasonably satisfactory to the Agent for the issuance of the Letter of Credit and
such other documents as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the form, terms and purpose of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer; and

(2)    As of the date of issuance, no order of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its
terms to enjoin or restrain money center banks generally from issuing letters of credit of the type and in the amount of the proposed Letter of Credit, and no law, rule or regulation applicable to money center banks generally and no request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over money center banks generally shall prohibit, or request that the proposed Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of
credit generally or the issuance of such Letters of Credit.

(d)    Issuance of Letters of
Credit.

(1)    Request for Issuance. Borrower must notify the Agent of a requested Letter
of Credit at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date. Such notice shall be irrevocable and must specify the original face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the Business Day of issuance of such requested Letter
of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit may be drawn in a single or in partial draws, the Business Day on which the requested Letter of Credit is to expire, the purpose for which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and the beneficiary of the
requested Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall attach to such notice the proposed form of the Letter of Credit.

(2)    Responsibilities of the Agent; Issuance. As of the Business Day of the requested issuance date of the Letter of Credit, the Agent shall determine the amount of the applicable Unused Letter of Credit
Subfacility and Availability. If (i) the face amount of the requested Letter of Credit is less than the Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and (ii) the amount of such requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due
from the Borrower in connection with the opening thereof would not exceed Availability, the Agent shall cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date so long as the other conditions hereof
are met.

(3)    No Extensions or Amendment. The Agent shall not be obligated to cause the
Letter of Credit Issuer to extend or amend any Letter of Credit issued



7



---

pursuant hereto unless the requirements of this Section 1.3 are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.

(e)    Payments Pursuant to Letters of Credit. The Borrower agrees to reimburse immediately the Letter of
Credit Issuer for any draw under any Letter of Credit and the Agent for the account of the Lenders upon any payment pursuant to any Credit Support, and to pay the Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of all other charges and fees payable to the Letter
of Credit Issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit immediately when due, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person. Each drawing
under any Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by the Borrower to the Agent for a Borrowing of an Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loan in the amount of such drawing. The Funding Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the date of such
drawing.

(f)    Indemnification; Exoneration; Power of Attorney.

(1)    Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 1.3,
the Borrower agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Lenders and the Agent harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) which any
Lender or the Agent (other than a Lender in its capacity as Letter of Credit Issuer) may incur or be subject to (excluding such claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses arising solely from disputes between or among
Agent and/or Lenders) as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit or the provision of any Credit Support or enhancement in connection therewith. The Borrowers obligations under this Section shall survive
payment of all other Obligations.

(2)    Assumption of Risk by the Borrower. As among the
Borrower, the Lenders, and the Agent, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, the Lenders and the Agent shall not be responsible for; (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any Person in connection with the application for and issuance of and
presentation of drafts with respect to any of the Letters of Credit, even if it should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) the failure of the beneficiary of
any Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or
otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the
proceeds thereof; (G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Lenders or the Agent,
including any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority or (I) the Letter



8



---

of Credit Issuers honor of a draw for which the draw or any certificate fails to comply in any respect with the terms of the Letter of Credit. None of
the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any rights or powers of the Agent or any Lender under this Section 1.3(f).

(3)    Exoneration. Without limiting the foregoing, no action or omission whatsoever by Agent or any Lender (excluding any Lender in its capacity as a Letter of Credit Issuer and excluding
any such liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking exoneration hereunder) shall result in any liability of Agent or any Lender to the Borrower, or relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations
hereunder to any such Person.

(4)    Rights Against Letter of Credit Issuer. Nothing contained
in this Agreement is intended to limit the Borrowers rights, if any, with respect to the Letter of Credit Issuer which arise as a result of the letter of credit application and related documents executed by and between the Borrower and the
Letter of Credit Issuer.

(5)    Account Party. The Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any
Letter of Credit Issuer to name the Borrower as the Account Party therein and to deliver to the Agent all instruments, documents and other writings and property received by the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit,
and to accept and rely upon the Agents instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the application therefor.

(g)    Supporting Letter of Credit; Cash Collateral. If, notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 1.3(b) and Section 10.1. any Letter of Credit or Credit Support is outstanding upon the termination of this Agreement, then upon such termination the Borrower shall deposit with the Agent, for the ratable benefit of
the Agent and the Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit or Credit Support then outstanding, cash collateral in an amount equal to 110% of the greatest amount for which such Letter of Credit or such Credit Support may be drawn plus any fees
and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit or such Credit Support, Such cash collateral shall be held by the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, as security for, and to provide for the payment of, the aggregate
undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit or such Credit Support remaining outstanding.

1.4    Bank
Products. The Borrower may request and the Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, arrange for the Borrower to obtain from the Bank or the Banks Affiliates Bank Products although the Borrower is not required to do so. If Bank
Products are provided by an Affiliate of the Bank, the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Agent, the Bank and the Lenders for any and all costs and obligations now or hereafter incurred by the Agent, the Bank or any of the Lenders which arise from any
indemnity given by the Agent to its Affiliates related to such Bank Products; provided, however, nothing contained herein is intended to limit the Borrowers rights, with respect to the Bank or its Affiliates, if any, which arise
as a result of the execution of documents by and between the Borrower and the Bank which relate to Bank Products. The agreement contained in this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the
obtaining of Bank Products from the Bank or the Banks Affiliates (a) is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Bank or the Banks Affiliates, and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations of the Bank or the Banks
Affiliates.

ARTICLE 2

INTEREST AND FEES

2.1    Interest.

(a)    Interest Rates. All outstanding Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof
(including, to the extent permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margins
as set forth below, but not to exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time Loans are outstanding with respect to which the Borrower has not delivered to the Agent a notice specifying the basis for determining the interest rate applicable thereto in
accordance herewith, those Loans shall bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate until notice to the contrary has been given to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement and such notice has become effective. Except
as otherwise provided herein, the outstanding Obligations shall bear interest as follows:

(i)    For all Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans and other Obligations (other than Eurodollar Revolving Loans) at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii)    For all Eurodollar Revolving Loans at a per annum rate equal to the Eurodollar
Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

Each change in the Alternate Base Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to
Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans as of the effective date of such change. All interest charges shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis
of a 365-day year). The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, interest accrued on all Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans in arrears on the first day of each month hereafter, on the date of any repayment of any portion
of such Loans and on the Termination Date. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, interest on all Eurodollar Revolving Loans in arrears on each Eurodollar Interest Payment Date, on the date of any repayment of any
portion of such Loans and on the Termination Date.

(b)    Default Rate. If any Default or
Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Agent or the Required Lenders in their discretion so elect, then, while any such Default or Event of Default is continuing, all of the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable
thereto.

2.2    Continuation and Conversion Elections.

(a)    The Borrower may:

(i)    elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) to convert any Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loan (or
any part thereof in an amount not less than



10



---

$5,000,000 or that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) into Eurodollar Revolving Loans; or

(ii)    elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Eurodollar
Revolving Loan having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $5,000,000, or that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof);

provided, that if at any time the aggregate amount of Eurodollar Revolving Loans in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less
than $5,000,000, such Eurodollar Revolving Loans shall automatically convert into Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans; provided further that if the notice shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period, such Interest Period
shall be one month.

(b)    The Borrower shall deliver a notice of continuation/conversion
(Notice of Continuation/Conversion) to the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued as
Eurodollar Revolving Loans and specifying:

(i)    the proposed Continuation/Conversion
Date;

(ii)    the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or renewed;

(iii)    the type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

(iv)    the duration of the requested Interest Period, provided, however, the Borrower
may not select an Interest Period that ends after the Stated Termination Date.

(c)    If upon the
expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans, the Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans or if any Default or Event of Default then exists, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Revolving Loans into Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period.

(d)    The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Continuation/Conversion. All
conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.

(e)    There may not be more than five (5) different Eurodollar Revolving Loans in effect hereunder at any
time.

2.3    Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder
exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable by any Lender under applicable law for such Lender with respect to loans of the type provided for hereunder (the Maximum Rate). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would
have exceeded the Maximum Rate,



11



---

then the interest rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate,
then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon
payment in full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section 2.3. have been paid or accrued if the interest
rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of
(i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all
times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Agent and/or any Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of
the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and if there are no Obligations outstanding, the Agent and/or
such Lender shall refund to the Borrower such excess.

2.4    Fee Letter. The Borrower agrees to
pay the Agent the fees set forth in the fee letter dated April 26, 2007, among Agent, JPMorgan Securities Inc. and Borrower at the times set forth therein.

2.5    Unused Line Fee. On the first day of each Fiscal Quarter and on the Termination Date the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an unused line fee (the Unused Line Fee) equal to the Applicable Margin times the amount by which the Maximum Revolver Amount exceeded the sum of the average daily outstanding amount of
Revolving Loans and the average daily undrawn face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, during the immediately prior Fiscal Quarter or shorter period if calculated for the first Fiscal Quarter ending after the Closing Date or on the Termination
Date. The Unused Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. All principal payments received by the Agent shall be deemed to be credited to the Borrowers Loan Account immediately upon
receipt of good funds for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee pursuant to this Section 2.5.

2.6    Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for each Letter of Credit, a fee (the Letter of
Credit Fee) equal to the Applicable Margin per annum times the face amount of such Letter of Credit and to Agent for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer a fronting fee of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the undrawn face
amount of each Letter of Credit, and to the Letter of Credit Issuer, all out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the application for, processing of, negotiation of, issuance of, or amendment
to any Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each Fiscal Quarter following any Fiscal Quarter in which a Letter of Credit is outstanding and on the Termination Date. The Letter of Credit
Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

ARTICLE 3

PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS

3.1    Revolving Loans. The
Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans and all other Obligations, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, on the Termination Date. The Borrower may prepay Revolving Loans at any time, and reborrow subject
to the terms of this Agreement. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon demand the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for account of the Lenders, the amount, without duplication, by which the Aggregate Revolver
Outstandings exceeds the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the Maximum Revolver Amount.

3.2    Termination of Facility. The Borrower may terminate this Agreement upon at least ten (10) Business Days notice to the Agent and the Lenders, upon (a) the payment in full of all outstanding

(a)    Immediately upon receipt by Borrower or its Subsidiaries of proceeds of any (i) sale or other
disposition of Collateral (excluding Accounts and Inventory) permitted under Section 7.9. (ii) sale of the stock of any Subsidiary of Borrower or (iii) issuance of equity securities (other than equity issued in connection with
Borrowers Plans) or issuance of Debt (other than Guaranties) permitted under the last sentence of Section 7.13 (excluding proceeds of equity or Debt issued to finance a Permitted Acquisition but only to the extent such proceeds are
received and paid to the sellers of the Target contemporaneously with the consummation of the Permitted Acquisition or contemporaneously with the date on which any other consideration is required to be paid to such sellers in connection with such
Permitted Acquisition), Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of (A) commissions and other reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction and
payable by Borrower in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-Affiliates), (B) transfer taxes, (C) amounts payable to holders of senior Liens (to the extent such Liens constitute Permitted Liens hereunder), if any, and (D) an
appropriate reserve for income taxes in accordance with GAAP in connection therewith (Net Proceeds); provided, that to the extent no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of or after giving effect
to any sale or disposition of Collateral under clause (i) or any issuance of equity by Borrower under clause (iii), Borrower may use the proceeds thereof for any of its general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, Permitted
Acquisitions and prepayment of Debt under the Term Loan Agreement) to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Net Proceeds from the sale of
Collateral subject to clause (i) above or from any issuance of equity by Borrower under clause (iii) above shall be applied to the Obligations. Any such prepayment required by this Section 3.3(a) shall be applied in accordance
with Section 3.7.

(b)    [Intentionally Deleted].

(c)    No provision contained in this Section 3.3 shall constitute a consent to an asset disposition
that is otherwise not permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

3.4    Eurodollar Revolving Loan
Prepayments. In connection with any prepayment, if any Eurodollar Revolving Loan is prepaid prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders the amounts described in
Section 4.4.

(a)    All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, at the account designated by the Agent and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00
noon (Chicago time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by the Agent after such time shall be deemed (for purposes of calculating interest only)



14



---

to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue.

(b)    Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of Interest Period, whenever any payment is
due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

3.6    Payments as Revolving Loans. At the election of Agent, all payments of interest, reimbursement
obligations in connection with Letters of Credit and Credit Support for Letters of Credit, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses and other sums payable hereunder, may be paid from the proceeds of Revolving Loans made hereunder. The Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Agent to charge the Loan Account for the purpose of paying all amounts from time to time due hereunder and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans and Agent
Advances).

3.7    Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. Principal and interest
payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably among the
Lenders, except for fees payable solely to Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer and except as provided in Section 11.1(b). All payments shall be remitted to the Agent and all such payments not relating to principal or interest of specific
Loans, or not constituting payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral received by the Agent, shall be applied, ratably, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, first, to pay any fees, indemnities or
expense reimbursements (excluding any amounts relating to Bank Products) then due to the Agent from the Borrower; second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower; third, to pay interest due
in respect of all Loans, including Swing Line Loans and Agent Advances; fourth, to pay or prepay principal of the Swing Line Loans and Agent Advances; fifth, to pay or prepay principal of the Revolving Loans (other than Swing Line
Loans and Agent Advances), unpaid reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit and outstanding amounts due and owing under Hedge Agreements approved in writing by Agent, ratably as to all such obligations under this category;
sixth, to pay an amount to Agent equal to all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations; and seventh, to the payment of any other Obligation (including all amounts with respect to Bank
Products). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payments which it
receives to any Eurodollar Revolving Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Revolving Loan, or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Alternate Base
Rate Revolving Loans and, in any event, the Borrower shall pay Eurodollar breakage losses in accordance with Section 4.4. The Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and
all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations.

3.8    Indemnity for Returned
Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Agent, any Lender, the Bank



15



---

or any Affiliate of the Bank is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds
is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Agent or such Lender and the Borrower shall be liable to pay to the Agent and the Lenders, and hereby does indemnify
the Agent and the Lenders and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 3.8 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may
have been taken by the Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Agents and the Lenders rights under this Agreement and shall be
deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 3.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

3.9    Agents and Lenders Books and Records; Monthly Statements. The Agent shall record the
principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender, the undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of unpaid reimbursement obligations outstanding with respect to the Letters of Credit from time to time on its
books. In addition, each Lender may note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lenders Loans in its books and records. Failure by Agent or any Lender to make such notation shall not affect the obligations of
the Borrower with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit. The Borrower agrees that the Agents and each Lenders books and records showing the Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and shall constitute rebuttably presumptive proof thereof, irrespective of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. The Agent will provide
to the Borrower a monthly statement of Loans, payments, and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement shall be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on the Borrower and an account stated (except for reversals and reapplications
of payments made as provided in Section 3.7 and corrections of errors discovered by the Agent), unless the Borrower notifies the Agent in writing to the contrary within sixty (60) days after such statement is rendered. In the event
a timely written notice of objections is given by the Borrower, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by the Borrower.

ARTICLE 4

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

4.1    Taxes.

(a)    Any and all payments by the Borrower to each Lender or the Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for
any Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes.

(b)    The Borrower agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes



16



---

imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by any Lender or the Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest,
additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date such Lender or the
Agent makes written demand therefor.

(c)    If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or
withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Agent, then:

(i)    the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such
Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

(ii)    the Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings;

(iii)    the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law; and

(iv)    the Borrower shall also pay to each Lender or the Agent for the account of such Lender, at
the time interest is paid, all additional amounts which the respective Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

(d)    At the Agents request, within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of Taxes or Other
Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Agent.

(e)    If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by the Borrower which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the judgment of
such Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

4.2    Illegality.

(a)    If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of
Law, or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make
Eurodollar Revolving Loans, then, on notice thereof by that Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans shall be suspended



17



---

until that Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

(b)    If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any Eurodollar Revolving Loan, the Borrower shall,
upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such Eurodollar Revolving Loans of that Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under
Section 4.4, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if that Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Revolving Loans to such day, or immediately, if that Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurodollar Revolving Loans. If the Borrower is required to so prepay any Eurodollar Revolving Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Borrower shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, an Alternate Base
Revolving Loan.

4.3    Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a)    If any Lender determines that due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in the interpretation
of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender
of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Revolving Loan, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the
account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs.

(b)    If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or
administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling
such Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such
Lenders or such corporations or other entitys policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lenders desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments,
loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate
such Lender for such increase.

4.4    Funding Losses. The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender
and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:



18



---

(a)    the failure of the Borrower to make on a timely basis any
payment of principal of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan;

(b)    the failure of the Borrower to borrow,
continue or convert a Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation/Conversion; or

(c)    the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period;

including any such loss of anticipated profit and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain
its Eurodollar Revolving Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by any Lender in connection with the foregoing.

4.5    Inability to Determine Rates. If the Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means
do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Revolving Loan, or that the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Revolving
Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Revolving Loans
hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation/Conversion then submitted by it. If the Borrower does not revoke such
Notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Alternate Base Rate
Revolving Loans instead of Eurodollar Revolving Loans.

4.6    Certificates of Agent. If any
Lender claims reimbursement or compensation under this Article 4, Agent shall determine the amount thereof and shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the affected Lender) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to
the affected Lender, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

4.7    Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in this Article 4 shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

ARTICLE 5

BOOKS AND RECORDS; FINANCIAL INFORMATION; NOTICES

5.1    Books and Records. The Borrower shall maintain, at all times, correct and complete books, records and

that if any request made to such accountants by the Agent is for information, materials or other supporting financial documents or schedules with respect to matters which are outside the scope of such accountants engagement or which have not
been approved for release by Borrowers audit committee, at the request of Agent, Borrower will propose to its audit committee for consideration at its next scheduled meeting an amendment to include such additional matters in the scope of its
accountants engagement and/or to approve the release of such materials or supporting information as Agent shall request; provided, further that such accountants may only disclose such materials and supporting information if

GENERAL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS

The Borrower warrants and represents to the Agent and the Lenders that except as hereafter disclosed to and accepted by the Agent and the Required Lenders in writing:

6.1    Authorization, Validity, and Enforceability of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. The Borrower has
the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, to incur the Obligations, and to grant to the Agent Liens upon and security interests in the Collateral. The Borrower has
taken all necessary action (including obtaining approval of its stockholders if necessary) to authorize its execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which it is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms. The Borrowers
execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party do not and will not conflict with, or constitute a violation or breach of (excluding conflicts, violations or breaches of any provision in any
contract prohibiting the grant of a lien in specific leased or licensed assets), or result in the imposition of any Lien upon the property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, by reason of the terms of (a) any contract, mortgage, lease,

(c) the certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws or the limited liability company or limited partnership agreement of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

6.2    Validity and Priority of Security Interest. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in
favor of the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on all the Collateral, having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral, except for those Liens identified in
clauses (c), (d), (e) and (g) of the definition of Permitted Liens securing all the Obligations, and enforceable against the Borrower and all third parties.

Collateral, and the Borrowers rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Agents benefit for such purpose. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to all expenses of sale, including Attorney Costs, and
then to the Obligations. The Agent will return any excess to the Borrower and the Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency.

(c)    If an Event of Default occurs, the Borrower hereby waives all rights to notice and hearing prior to the exercise by the Agent of the Agents rights to repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to
reply, attach or levy upon the Collateral without notice or hearing.

ARTICLE 10

TERM AND TERMINATION

10.1    Term and
Termination. The term of this Agreement shall end on the Stated Termination Date unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof. The Agent may, in its discretion, and shall, upon direction from the Required Lenders, terminate this
Agreement without notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, all Obligations (including all unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and any early
termination or prepayment fees or penalties) shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall immediately arrange for the cancellation and return of Letters of Credit then outstanding. Notwithstanding the termination of this
Agreement, until all Obligations are indefeasibly paid and performed in full in cash, the Borrower shall remain bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall not be relieved of any of its Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and
the Agent and the Lenders shall retain all their rights and remedies hereunder (including the Agents Liens in and all rights and remedies with respect to all then existing and after-arising Collateral).

AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS; PARTICIPATIONS; ASSIGNMENTS; SUCCESSORS

11.1    Amendments and Waivers.

(a)    No amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Agent at the
written request of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver,
amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Agent, do any of the following:

(i)    increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender;

(ii)    postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or
under any other Loan Document;

interest specified herein on any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

Agent Advances in accordance with Section 1.2(i) and, provided further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document and provided further, that Schedule 1.2



49



---

hereto (Commitments) may be amended from time to time by Agent alone to reflect assignments of Commitments in accordance herewith.

(b)    If any fees are paid to the Lenders as consideration for amendments, waivers or consents with respect to this
Agreement, at Agents election, such fees may be paid only to those Lenders that agree to such amendments, waivers or consents within the time specified for submission thereof.

(c)    If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent (a Proposed Change) requiring
the consent of all Lenders, the consent of Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a Non-Consenting Lender),

then, so long as the Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrowers request, the Agent or an Eligible Assignee shall have the right (but
not the obligation) with the Agents approval, to purchase from the Non-Consenting Lenders, and the Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall sell, all the Non-Consenting Lenders Commitments for an amount equal to the principal
balances thereof and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale pursuant to Assignment and Acceptance Agreement(s), without premium or discount.

11.2    Assignments; Participations.

(a)    Any Lender may, with the written consent of the Agent and Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), assign and delegate to one or more Eligible
Assignees (provided that no consent of the Agent or Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender) (each an Assignee) all, or any
ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (provided that, unless an assignor Lender has assigned and delegated all of its Loans and
Commitments, no such assignment and/or delegation shall be permitted unless, after giving effect thereto, such assignor Lender retains a Commitment in a minimum amount of $10,000,000); provided, however, that if a Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required; provided, further, that the Borrower and the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so
assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender and the
Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit F (Assignment and Acceptance) together with any note or notes subject
to such assignment and (iii) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,000. The Borrower agrees to promptly execute and deliver new promissory notes and replacement promissory notes as reasonably
requested by the Agent to evidence assignments of the Loans and Commitments in accordance herewith.

(b)    From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above- referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder
shall be a party hereto and, to the extent



50



---

that rights and obligations, including, but not limited to, the obligation to participate in Letters of Credit and Credit Support have been assigned to it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an
assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other
than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or
the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection, or priority of any Lien granted by the Borrower to the Agent
or any Lender in the Collateral; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its
obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate
to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf
and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, including the discretionary rights and incidental power, as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee
agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d)    Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 11.2(a), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent,
necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

(e)    Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons
not Affiliates of the Borrower (a Participant) participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the originating Lender) hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Lenders obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lenders rights and



51



---

obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the
Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document except the matters set forth in Section 11.1(a) (i), (ii) and (iii), and all amounts payable by
the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same limitation as if the amount of its participating
interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement.

(f)    Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB
or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

ARTICLE 12

THE AGENT

12.1    Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Bank as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article 12. The provisions of this Article 12 are solely
for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and the Borrower shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term agent
in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and
is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising
or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including (a) the determination of
the applicability of ineligibility criteria with respect to the calculation of the Borrowing Base, (b) the making of Agent Advances pursuant to Section 1.2(i), and (c) the exercise of remedies



52



---

pursuant to Section 9.2, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders.

12.2    Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or
attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.3    Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent
under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party to
any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of the Borrowers Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

12.4    Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation reasonably 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 (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its 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. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if so required by Section 11.1) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon all of the Lenders.

12.5    Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to
have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating
that such notice is a notice of default. The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders
in



53



---

accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

12.6    Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent
hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the
Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender
with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

12.7    Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders
shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities as such term is defined in Section 13.11; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting
solely from such Persons gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs)
incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section
shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

12.8    Agent in Individual Capacity. The Bank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind
of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though the Bank were not the Agent



54



---

hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Bank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, its Affiliates and
Account Debtors (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Subsidiary) and the Lenders acknowledge that the Agent and the Bank shall be under no obligation to provide such information
to them. With respect to its Loans, the Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms Lender and Lenders include
the Bank in its individual capacity.

12.9    Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent
upon at least thirty (30) days prior notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Agent. In the event the Bank sells all of its Commitment and
Revolving Loans as part of a sale, transfer or other disposition by the Bank of substantially all of its loan portfolio, the Bank shall resign as Agent and such purchaser or transferee shall become the successor Agent hereunder. Subject to the
foregoing, if the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the
Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and
duties of the retiring Agent and the term Agent shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agents appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agents resignation hereunder as Agent,
the provisions of this Article 12 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

12.10    Withholding Tax.

(a)    If any Lender is a foreign corporation, partnership or trust within the meaning of the Code and such Lender claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of
the Code, such Lender agrees with and in favor of the Agent, to deliver to the Agent:

(i)    if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States of America tax treaty, properly completed IRS Forms W-8BEN and W-8ECI before the payment of any interest in the
first calendar year and before the payment of any interest in each third succeeding calendar year during which interest may be paid under this Agreement;

(ii)    if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States of America withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United
States of America trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before the payment of any interest is due in the first taxable year of such Lender and in each succeeding taxable year of such Lender
during which interest may be paid under this Agreement, and IRS Form W-9; and



55



---

(iii)    such other form or forms as may be required
under the Code or other laws of the United States of America as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States of America withholding tax.

Such Lender agrees to promptly notify the Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(b)    If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States of America tax
treaty by providing IRS Form FW-8BEN and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations owing to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify the Agent of the percentage amount in which it
is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, the Agent will treat such Lenders IRS Form W-8BEN as no longer valid.

(c)    If any Lender claiming exemption from United States of America withholding tax by filing IRS Form W-8ECI with
the Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations owing to such Lender, such Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by
Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

(d)    If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable
withholding tax, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection
(a) of this Section are not delivered to the Agent, then the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

(e)    If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States of America or other jurisdiction 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, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in
circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise,
including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Lenders under this
subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

12.11    Collateral Matters.

(a)    The Lenders hereby
irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Agents Liens upon any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Loans and
reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit and Credit Support, and the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit (whether or not any of such obligations are due)



56



---

and all other Obligations; (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Borrower certifies to the Agent that the sale or disposition is
made in compliance with Section 7.9 (and the Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) constituting property in which the Borrower owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at
any time thereafter; or (iv) constituting property leased to the Borrower under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above, the Agent will not release any of the
Agents Liens without the prior written authorization of the Lenders; provided that the Agent may, in its discretion, release the Agents Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not to exceed $500,000 during each Fiscal Year
without the prior written authorization of the Lenders and the Agent may release the Agents Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not to exceed $1,000,000 during each Fiscal Year with the prior written authorization of Required Lenders.
Upon request by the Agent or the Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agents authority to release any Agents Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.11.

(b)    Upon receipt by the Agent of any authorization required pursuant to
Section 12.11(a) from the Lenders of the Agents authority to release Agents Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, and upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written request by the Borrower, the Agent
shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Agents Liens upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall not be
required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agents opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and
(ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower, including
the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(c)    The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the
Agents Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or
fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event
related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Agents own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no other duty or liability
whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing.

12.12    Restrictions on Actions by Lenders;
Sharing of Payments.

(a)    Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express
consent of all Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of all Lenders, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to the Borrower or any accounts of the Borrower now or
hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Agent,



57



---

take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against the Borrower, including the commencement of any legal or equitable
proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

(b)    If at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender
arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Agent in excess of
such Lenders ratable portion of all such distributions by the Agent, such Lender shall promptly (1) turn the same over to the Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Agent, or in same day
funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of such
excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be
returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment,

12.13    Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of
perfecting the Lenders security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify
the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agents request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agents instructions.

12.14    Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by the Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of immediately
available funds to each Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered in writing to the Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (or if such Lender is an Assignee, on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance), or pursuant to such other wire
transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium or interest on the
Revolving Loans or otherwise. Unless the Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the
Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the
amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

12.15    Settlement.

(a)    (i)     Each Lenders funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by the
Lenders to be equal at all times to such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding such agreement, the Agent, the Bank, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or
enforceable by the Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Revolving Loans, the Swing Line Loans and the Agent Advances shall take place on a periodic
basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(ii)    The Agent shall request settlement
(Settlement) with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis at Agents election, (A) on behalf of the Bank, with respect to each outstanding Swing Line Loan, (B) for itself, with respect to each
Agent Advance, and (C) with respect to collections received, in each case, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 12:00
noon (Chicago time) on the date of such requested Settlement (the Settlement Date). Each Lender (other than the Bank, in the case of Swing Line Loans and the Agent in the case of Agent Advances) shall transfer the amount of such
Lenders Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loans and Agent Advances with respect to each Settlement to the Agent, to Agents account, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time), on the Settlement Date
applicable thereto. Settlements may occur during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have then been satisfied. Such amounts made available to the
Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Line Loan or Agent Advance and, together with the portion of such Swing Line Loan or Agent Advance representing the Banks Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Revolving
Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not transferred to the Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first two (2) days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to the Revolving Loans (A) on behalf of the Bank, with respect to each outstanding Swing Line
Loan, and (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance.

(iii)    Notwithstanding the
foregoing, not more than one (1) Business Day after demand is made by the Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether the Agent has requested a Settlement with respect to a Swing
Line Loan or Agent Advance), each other Lender (A) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from the Bank or the Agent, as applicable, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Line
Loan or Agent Advance equal to such Lenders Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan or Agent Advance and (B) if Settlement has not previously occurred with respect to such Swing Line Loans or Agent Advances, upon demand by Bank or Agent,
as applicable, shall pay to Bank or Agent, as applicable, as the purchase price of such participation an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of such Lenders Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loans or Agent Advances. If such amount
is not in fact made available to the Agent by any Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first two (2) days from and after
such demand and thereafter at the



59



---

Interest Rate then applicable to Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans (A) on behalf of the Bank, with respect to each outstanding Swing Line Loan, and
(B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance.

(iv)    From and after the date, if any, on
which any Lender purchases an undivided interest and participation in any Swing Line Loan or Agent Advance pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lenders Pro Rata Share of all
payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Swing Line Loan or Agent Advance.

(v)    Between Settlement Dates, the Agent, to the extent no Agent Advances are outstanding, may pay over to the Bank any payments received by the Agent, which in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, for application to the Banks Revolving Loans including Swing Line Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, collections received since the then immediately preceding Settlement
Date have been applied to the Banks Revolving Loans (other than to Swing Line Loans or Agent Advances in which such Lender has not yet funded its purchase of a participation pursuant to clause (iii) above), as provided for in the previous
sentence, the Bank shall pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its
Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Bank with respect to Swing Line Loans, the Agent with respect to Agent Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans other than Swing Line Loans
and Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the actual average daily amount of funds employed by the Bank, the Agent and the other Lenders.

(vi)    Unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender to the contrary, the Agent may assume that the
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have been satisfied and the requested Borrowing will not exceed Availability on any Funding Date for a Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan.

(vii)    Each Lenders obligation to make a Revolving Loan in accordance with this Section 12.15
and to purchase participation interests in accordance with this Section 12.15 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right that such Lender may have against the Agent or Bank, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (C) any inability of Borrower to satisfy the
conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time or (D) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(b)    Lenders Failure to Perform. All Revolving Loans (other than Swing Line Loans and Agent Advances)
shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans
hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any



60



---

failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligation to
make any Revolving Loans hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, and (iii) the obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several, not joint and several.

(c)    Defaulting Lenders. Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Closing Date or,
with respect to any Borrowing after the Closing Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Agent that Lenders Pro Rata Share of a
Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date. Furthermore, the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such
date a corresponding amount. If any Lender has not transferred its full Pro Rata Share to the Agent in immediately available funds and the Agent has transferred corresponding amount to the Borrower on the Business Day following such Funding Date
that Lender shall make such amount available to the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for that day. A notice by the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error. If each Lenders full Pro Rata Share is transferred to the Agent as required, the amount transferred to the Agent shall constitute that Lenders Revolving Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If that amount is not transferred to
the Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, the Agent will notify the Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agents account, together with interest
thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans comprising that particular Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan on
any Funding Date (any such Lender, prior to the cure of such failure, being hereinafter referred to as a Defaulting Lender) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make a Revolving Loan on that Funding Date. No
Lender shall be responsible for any other Lenders failure to advance such other Lenders Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing.

(d)    Retention of Defaulting Lenders Payments. The Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to the Agent for the Defaulting
Lenders benefit; nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder. Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by the Agent. In its discretion, the Agent may loan Borrower the
amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Any amounts so loaned to the Borrower shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans and for all other purposes of
this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Revolving Loans, provided, however, that for purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not
to be a Lender. Until a Defaulting Lender cures its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing (A) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any portion of the Unused Line Fee and (B) the Unused Line Fee shall
accrue in favor of the Lenders which have funded their respective Pro Rata Shares of such requested Borrowing and shall be allocated among such performing Lenders ratably based upon their relative Commitments. This Section shall remain effective
with respect to such Lender until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer be in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The terms of this Section shall not be



61



---

construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by the Borrower of its duties and obligations
hereunder.

(e)    Removal of Defaulting Lender. At the Borrowers request, the Agent or
an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Borrower shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase from any Defaulting Lender, and each Defaulting Lender shall, upon such request, sell and assign to the Agent or such
Eligible Assignee, all of the Defaulting Lenders outstanding Commitments hereunder. Such sale shall be consummated promptly after Agent has arranged for a purchase by Agent or an Eligible Assignee pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, and
at a price equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Defaulting Lenders Loans, plus accrued interest and fees, without premium or discount.

12.16    Letters of Credit; Intra-Lender Issues.

(a)    Notice of Letter of Credit Balance. On each Settlement Date the Agent shall notify each Lender of the issuance of all Letters of Credit since the prior Settlement Date.

(b)    Participations in Letters of Credit.

(i)    Purchase of Participations. Immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit in accordance with
Section 1.3(d), each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the face
amount of such Letter of Credit or the Credit Support provided through the Agent to the Letter of Credit Issuer, if not the Bank, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit (including all obligations of the Borrower with respect
thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto).

(ii)    Sharing of
Reimbursement Obligation Payments. Whenever the Agent receives a payment from the Borrower on account of reimbursement obligations in respect of a Letter of Credit or Credit Support as to which the Agent has previously received for the account
of the Letter of Credit Issuer thereof payment from a Lender, the Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender such Lenders Pro Rata Share of such payment from the Borrower. Each such payment shall be made by the Agent on the next Settlement Date.

(iii)    Documentation. Upon the request of any Lender, the Agent shall furnish to such Lender
copies of any Letter of Credit, Credit Support for any Letter of Credit, reimbursement agreements executed in connection therewith, applications for any Letter of Credit, and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Lender.

(iv)    Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of each Lender to make payments to the Agent
with respect to any Letter of Credit or with respect to their participation therein or with respect to any Credit Support for any Letter of Credit or with respect to the Revolving Loans made as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit and the
obligations of the Borrower for whose account the Letter of Credit or Credit Support was issued to make payments to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, shall be irrevocable and shall not be



62



---

subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including any of the following circumstances:

(1)    any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(2)    the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a
beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Lender, the Agent, the issuer of such Letter of Credit, or any other Person, whether in connection with
this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrower or any other Person and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit);

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

(4)    the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

(5)    the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or

(6)    the failure of the Borrower to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8.

(c)    Recovery or Avoidance of Payments; Refund of Payments In Error. In the event any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower received by the Agent with respect to
any Letter of Credit or Credit Support provided for any Letter of Credit and distributed by the Agent to the Lenders on account of their respective participations therein is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Agent in connection
with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, the Lenders shall, upon demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent their respective Pro Rata Shares of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with interest at the rate required
to be paid by the Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by it. Unless the Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when
required, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on
such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with
interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

(d)    Indemnification by Lenders. To the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of the Borrower hereunder, the Lenders agree to indemnify the Letter of
Credit Issuer ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,



63



---

expenses (including attorneys fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Letter of Credit Issuer in any way relating to or arising out of any Letter of Credit or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document in
connection therewith; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender
agrees to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or expenses payable by the Borrower to the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent that the Letter of Credit Issuer is not promptly reimbursed
for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. The agreement contained in this Section shall survive payment in full of all other Obligations.

12.17    Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents, for the ratable benefit and obligation
of the Agent and the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent or Required Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent or the Required
Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that the Revolving Loans, Agent
Advances, Swing Line Loans, Hedge Agreements, Bank Products and all interest, fees and expenses hereunder constitute one Debt, secured pari passu by all of the Collateral.

12.18    Field Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by Lenders. By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

(a)    is deemed to have requested that the Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes
available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a Report and collectively, Reports) prepared by or on behalf of the Agent;

(b)    expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither the Bank nor the Agent (i) makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall
be liable for any information contained in any Report;

(c)    expressly agrees and acknowledges that
the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Agent or the Bank or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Borrower and will rely significantly upon the
Borrowers books and records, as well as on representations of the Borrowers personnel;

(d)    agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, and not to distribute except to its participants, or use any Report in any other manner; and

(e)    without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees:
(i) to hold the Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or



64



---

other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrower, or the indemnifying Lenders participation in, or the
indemnifying Lenders purchase of, a loan or loans of the Borrower; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold the Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions,
proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report
through the indemnifying Lender.

12.19    Relation Among Lenders. The Lenders are not partners
or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.
