 (a) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following
definition into Section 1.1 in appropriate alphabetical order: 
 “Wells Fargo Term Loan
Agreement” means that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of June 12, 2013 by and among the Borrower, the Parent, each of the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the other

and whose financial results would be consolidated under GAAP with the financial results of such Investing Person on the consolidated financial statements of such Investing Person, regardless of whether such Investing Person directly or indirectly
owns less than a majority of the Equity Interests of such Person. For the avoidance of doubt, as it is structured on the Agreement Date, Parkway Properties Office Fund II, L.P. and each of its Subsidiaries is a Consolidated Affiliate. 

“EBITDA” means, with respect to a Person for any period and without duplication, the sum of (a) net
income (loss) of such Person for such period determined on a consolidated basis excluding the following (but only to the extent included in determining net income (loss) for such period): (i) depreciation and amortization;

 
(ii) Interest Expense; (iii) income tax expense; (iv) gains and losses resulting from extraordinary or nonrecurring transactions; and (v) other non-cash charges, including
amortization expense for stock options and impairment charges (other than non-cash charges that constitute an accrual of a reserve for future cash payments); plus (b) such Person’s Ownership Share of EBITDA of its Consolidated
Affiliates and its Unconsolidated Affiliates. EBITDA shall be adjusted to remove any impact from straight line rent leveling adjustments required under GAAP and amortization of intangibles pursuant to FASB ASC 805. For purposes of this definition,
nonrecurring transactions shall be deemed to include (w) gains and losses on early extinguishment or restructuring of Indebtedness, (x) severance and other restructuring charges, (y) transaction costs of acquisitions not permitted to
be capitalized pursuant to GAAP and (z) lease termination fees. 
 “Eligible Property”
means a Property which satisfies all of the following requirements as confirmed by the Administrative Agent (such confirmation not to be unreasonably withheld): (a) such Property is fully developed primarily as an office Property; (b) such
Property is 100% owned in fee simple, or leased under a Ground Lease, by the Borrower or a Guarantor; (c) regardless of whether such Property is owned by the Borrower or a Subsidiary, the Borrower has the right directly, or indirectly through a

sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such Property (and in each case, such right shall not be considered impaired, restricted or otherwise affected by the existence of any Negative Pledge permitted under Sections 9.2.(b)(i), (ii), (iii) and
(iv)); (d) neither such Property, nor if such Property is owned by a Subsidiary, any of the Borrower’s direct or indirect ownership interest in such Subsidiary, is subject to (i) any Lien other than Permitted Liens of the types
described in clauses (a) through (e) of the definition of “Permitted Lien” or (ii) any Negative Pledge other than Negative Pledges permitted under Sections 9.2.(b)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv); and (e) such Property is

the profitable operation of such Property. 
 “Ground Lease” means a ground lease containing the
following terms and conditions: (a) a remaining term (exclusive of any unexercised extension options) of 40 years or more from the Agreement Date (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), or, in the case of a shorter term, the leasehold
interest of the Borrower or applicable Guarantor therein reverts to a fee interest of the Borrower or such Guarantor at the end of such term; (b) the right of the lessee to mortgage and encumber its interest in the leased property without the
consent of the lessor; (c) the obligation of the lessor to give the holder of any mortgage Lien on such leased property written notice of any defaults on the part of the lessee and agreement of such lessor that such lease will not be terminated
until such holder has had a reasonable opportunity to cure or complete foreclosures, and fails to do so; (d) reasonable transferability of the lessee’s interest under such lease, including ability to sublease; and (e) such other
rights customarily required by mortgagees making a loan secured by the interest of the holder of the leasehold estate demised pursuant to a ground lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a surface parking lot or structure ancillary to a
Property subject to a ground lease, the requirements of this definition shall not be required to be satisfied with respect to such surface parking lot or structure if the rights associated therewith are not material to the profitable operation of
such Property.

 “LIBOR” means, with respect to any LIBOR Loan for any
Interest Period, the rate of interest obtained by dividing (i) the rate appearing on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 page (or on any successor or substitute page of such service, or any successor to or substitute for such service, providing rate
quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page, as determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to Dollar deposits in the London interbank market) at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period and having a maturity equal to such Interest Period by (ii) a percentage equal to 1 minus

liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or business prospects of the Parent, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (b) the ability of (i) the Parent to perform its obligations under any Loan

validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, (d) the rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents or (e) the ability of the Loan Parties to effect timely payment of the
principal of or interest on the Loans or other amounts payable in connection therewith.

Subsidiaries of such Person. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) as it is structured on the Agreement Date, Parkway Properties Office Fund II, L.P. is not a Subsidiary of the Parent or the Borrower and (b) the Parent’s or the
Borrower’s ownership of a majority of the Equity Interests of the general partner, managing member or administrative member of a Person shall not necessarily make such Person a Subsidiary of the Parent or the Borrower.

Section 4.1.(c) or 4.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections or (c) a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, so long as there does not then exist any Event of Default, the
Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Loan to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.6.(b) for a
purchase price equal to the principal balance of the Loan then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by

 (iii) Any other event shall have occurred and be continuing which permits any holder or holders of Material
Indebtedness other than Nonrecourse Indebtedness, any trustee or agent acting on behalf of such holder or holders or any other Person, to accelerate the maturity of any such Material Indebtedness or require any such Material Indebtedness to be
prepaid, repurchased, redeemed or defeased prior to its stated maturity and all applicable grace or cure periods shall have expired; or 
 (iv) There occurs an “Event of Default” under and as defined in any Derivatives Contract as to which the Parent, the Borrower, any Loan Party or any of other Subsidiary is a “Defaulting
Party” (as defined therein), or there occurs an “Early Termination Date” (as defined therein) in respect of any Specified Derivatives Contract as a result of a “Termination Event” (as defined therein) as to which the Parent
or any of its Subsidiaries is an “Affected Party” (as defined therein), in each case with respect to Material Indebtedness; or 
 (v) An “Event of Default” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement shall occur; or 

  
 11 

 (vi) An “Event of Default” under and as defined in the Wells Fargo
Term Loan Agreement shall occur. 
 Section 2. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment, including
without limitation, the waiver of the Defaults and Events of Default set forth in Section 3 below, are subject to the truth and accuracy of the representations set forth herein (and incorporated by reference) and receipt by the Administrative
Agent of each of the following, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) A counterpart of this
Amendment duly executed by the Borrower, the Parent and the Requisite Lenders; 
 (b) A Guarantor Acknowledgement substantially
in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, executed by each Guarantor; 
 (c) Evidence that the Existing Credit Agreement has been
amended to conform to certain sections of the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment and such other changes as agreed to by the parties thereto; 
 (d) Evidence that the Wells Fargo Term Loan Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment) has been duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto; 

(e) Delivery of the financial statements and related documentation (including but not limited to, a Compliance Certificate, a statement of
Funds From Operations and a report of newly acquired Properties) for the Parent’s fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2013 required pursuant to Sections 8.1. and 8.3. of the Credit Agreement; and 

(f) Such other documents, instruments and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. 

Section 3. Waiver. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 above: 

(a) The Lenders hereby waive (i) any Default or Events of Default which occurred as a result of the failure by the Borrower to
deliver certain documentation relating to the financial statements for the Parent’s fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2013 in accordance with the timeframes for delivery of such documents set forth in Sections 8.1. and 8.3. of the Credit
Agreement and (ii) any other existing Default or Event of Default solely to the extent that such Default or Event of Default would not have occurred if the amendments set forth in this Amendment had been in effect on the Agreement Date (and
accordingly, the corresponding definitions and sections of the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment had been in effect on the Agreement Date). 
 (b) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the waivers contained in the foregoing clause (a) shall not waive (or be deemed to be or constitute a waiver of) any other covenant, term or provision in
the Credit Agreement or hinder, restrict or otherwise modify the rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of any other present or future Default or Event of Default (whether or not related to the
Defaults and the Events of Default in the preceding clause (a)) under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. The waivers provided for in this Section 3 are solely with respect to such periods prior to the date hereof. 

  
 12 

 Section 4. Representations. Each of the Parent and the Borrower represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that: 
 (a) Authorization. Each of the Parent and the Borrower has
the right and power, and has taken all necessary action to authorize such Loan Party, to execute and deliver this Amendment and to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment in accordance with their
respective terms. This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of each of the Parent and the Borrower and each of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each of the Parent and the Borrower enforceable against such Person in accordance with its respective terms except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally
and the availability of equitable remedies for the enforcement of certain obligations (other than the payment of principal) contained herein or therein and as may be limited by equitable principles generally. 

(b) Compliance with Laws, etc. The execution and delivery by each of the Parent and the Borrower of this Amendment and the
performance by each such Person of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment in accordance with their respective terms, do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (i) require any
Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law (including all Environmental Laws) relating to the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the organizational
documents of the Parent, the Borrower or any Loan Party, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties may be bound, including
without limitation, the Wells Fargo Term Loan Agreement and the Existing Credit Agreement; or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by any Loan
Party other than in favor of the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders. 
 (c) No Default.
Other than the Defaults and Events of Default waived pursuant to Section 3 above, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof nor will exist immediately after giving effect to this Amendment. 

Section 5. Reaffirmation of Representations by Parent and Borrower. The Borrower and the Parent hereby certify to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders that as of the date hereof and after giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties made or deemed made by each of the Parent and the Borrower in the Credit Agreement as amended by this
Amendment and the other Loan Documents to which the Parent or the Borrower is a party are and shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such
representation or warranty is and shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties were set forth in this Amendment in full, except to the extent that
such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and
expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. 
 Section 6. Certain References. Each
reference to the Credit Agreement in any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment is a Loan Document. 

  
 13 

 Section 7. Expenses. The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon
demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment and the other agreements and documents
executed and delivered in connection herewith. 
 Section 8. Benefits. This Amendment shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 
 Section 9. GOVERNING
LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE. 

Section 10. Effect. Except as expressly herein amended, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents remain in full force and effect. The amendments contained in Section 1 hereof shall be deemed to have prospective application only. The Credit Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. Other than as set forth in
Section 3 hereof, nothing in this Amendment shall limit, impair or constitute a waiver of the rights, powers or remedies available to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

Section 11. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be
an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns. 
 Section 12. Definitions. All
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used herein with the respective definitions given them in the Credit Agreement.

any liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor or Obligor, as the case may be, as a guarantor or obligor under or in respect of Indebtedness of the Company, unless such consideration or remuneration is concurrently paid, on the same terms, ratably to

SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties of the Obligors. 
 Each Obligor represents and warrants to each Purchaser as of the date hereof that: 

Section 5.1 Organization; Power and Authority. Such Obligor is a corporation or limited liability company, as the case may
be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, and is in good standing in
each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Such Obligor has the corporate or limited liability company power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to
execute and deliver this Agreement and the Notes and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof. 
 Section 5.2
Authorization, Etc. This Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action on the part of such Obligor, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each
Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

Section 5.3 Disclosure. This Agreement and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on
behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and identified in Schedule 5.3, and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 (this Agreement, and such documents, certificates or other
writings and such financial statements delivered to each Purchaser prior to June 14, 2013 being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not include an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Since December 31, 2012, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations,
business or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except changes that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to any Obligor that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents.

 Section 5.4 Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates.
(a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists (i) of the Company’s Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, the
percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary and designation of whether or not such Subsidiary is an obligor or guarantor under the Bank Credit
Agreement, (ii) of the Company’s Affiliates, other than Subsidiaries, and (iii) of the Company’s directors and senior officers. 
 (b) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 as being owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been validly
issued, are (in the case of capital stock) fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4 or Schedule 5.15(b)). 

(c) Each Subsidiary identified in Schedule 5.4 is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those
jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other legal entity power
and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact other than that which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 (d) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction
(other than this Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4 and limitations imposed by law) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary. 
 Section 5.5 Financial Statements; Material Liabilities. The Company has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on
Schedule 5.5. All of said financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective
dates specified in such financial statements and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved
except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments). To the knowledge of the Company, the Company and its Subsidiaries do not have any Material liabilities that are not
disclosed in such financial statements or otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Documents. 
 Section 5.6 Compliance
with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Obligors of this Agreement and the Notes will not (a) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of

  
 - 6 -

 
any Lien in respect of any property of any Obligor or any Subsidiary under, any Material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or
by-laws, or any other Material agreement or instrument to which such Obligor or any Subsidiary is bound or by which any Obligor or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (b) conflict with or result in a
breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to any Obligor or any Subsidiary or (c) violate any provision of any statute or other
rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to any Obligor or any Subsidiary. 
 Section 5.7
Governmental Authorizations, Etc. No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Obligors of this
Agreement or the Notes. 
 Section 5.8 Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders. (a) Except as
disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 or the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, there are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or,
to the knowledge of each of the Obligors, threatened against or affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or any property of the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority
that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary is in default under any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or is in violation of
any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation (including without limitation Environmental Laws or the USA Patriot Act) of any Governmental Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 5.9 Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns
that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such
taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (a) the amount of which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or (b) the amount, applicability or
validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Company has established adequate reserves on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. No Obligor knows of any basis for any
other tax or assessment that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are,
in the judgment of the Company, adequate. The Federal income tax liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to
and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to any Federal income tax liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries arising from an examination by a
Governmental Authority of any of the investment partnerships of the Company. 

  
 - 7 -

 Section 5.10 Title to Property; Leases. The Company and its Subsidiaries have
good and sufficient title to their respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are Material, including all such properties reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have
been acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary after said date (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement. All leases that individually or in the
aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect in all material respects. 

Section 5.11 Licenses, Permits, Etc. (a) The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits,
franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, without known conflict with the rights of others, except those conflicts that, individually and in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) To the knowledge of each Obligor, no product of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries infringes in any respect with any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person, except to the
extent any such infringement could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) To the knowledge of each
Obligor, there is no Material violation by any Person of any right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 Section 5.12 Compliance with ERISA. (a) The Company and each ERISA Affiliate
have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor

Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each
holder of a Note a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date. 
 Section 8.3 Allocation of Partial Prepayments. Unless the Obligors are prepaying all of the Notes, in the case of each partial prepayment of Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the
principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated pro rata among all holders of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof. 

Section 8.4 Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the
principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable
Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Obligors shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall
cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Obligor Agent and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note. 

Section 8.5 Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or
otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes or any part or portion thereof except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of such Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Notes or (b) pursuant to
an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an
informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 15 Business Days. If the holders of more than 10% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Obligor Agent shall promptly notify the
remaining holders of Notes of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of such Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 5 Business Days from its receipt
of such notice to accept such offer. The Obligor Agent will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in
substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

 Section 8.6 Make-Whole Amount. The term “Make-Whole Amount”
means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal; provided that the
Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings: 
 “Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due
and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 
 “Discounted Value”
means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such
Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on such Note is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

 “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% (50 basis
points) over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page
PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal
as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the
latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S.
Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding
paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the
applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment
Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note. 

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal of any Note, the number of years
(calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (i) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such
Called Principal by (ii) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

  
 - 20 -

 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the
Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due
date; provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of such Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest
accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or 12.1. 
 “Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is
declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 10.9, each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject, including, without limitation, ERISA, the USA Patriot
Act and Environmental Laws, and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective
businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other
governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 9.2 Insurance. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective
properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary
in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated. 

Section 9.3 Maintenance of Properties. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or
cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times;
provided that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent any Obligor or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and
the Company has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 9.4 Payment of Taxes and Claims. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge
all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and
before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of any Obligor or any Subsidiary; provided that no Obligor nor any Subsidiary need pay any
such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by such Obligor or such Subsidiary on a 

  
 - 24 -

 
timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Company or such Obligor or Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on
the books of the Company or such Obligor or such Subsidiary or (b) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 9.5 Legal Existence, Etc. Subject to Section 10.5, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in
full force and effect its legal existence. Subject to Section 10.5 and Section 10.6, each Obligor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and that of each of its Subsidiaries (unless
merged into the Company or a Wholly-owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of such Obligor and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect
such legal existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 9.6 Notes to Rank Pari Passu. The Notes and all other respective obligations of the Obligors under this Agreement are
and at all times shall rank at least pari passu in right of payment with all other present and future unsecured senior Indebtedness (actual or contingent) of each Obligor which is not expressed to be subordinate or junior in rank to any other
unsecured Indebtedness of each such Obligor.

obligor, a Joinder Agreement in respect of this Agreement and the Notes;

 (iv) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Required
Holders to the effect that either (1) the Subsidiary Guaranty or (2) the Joinder Agreement, this Agreement and the Notes, as the case may be, have been duly authorized, executed and delivered and such agreement or agreements, as the case
may be, constitute(s) the legal, valid and binding contract(s) and agreement(s) of such Subsidiary enforceable in accordance with its or their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance,
fraudulent transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and by general principles of equity (whether considered in equity or at law) and will rank at all times at least pari passu in
right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness of such Subsidiary. 
 (c) Promptly
after each time an additional Obligor is added in respect of this Agreement and the Notes pursuant to this Section 9.7, the Obligor Agent shall, at its cost and expense, request in writing that each holder of a Note surrender each Note
which it then holds and within twenty Business Days following the date of such request, each holder of a Note shall surrender each Note which it then holds in exchange for the receipt of a new Note and in an equal outstanding principal amount
executed by the Obligors (including such additional Obligor) reflecting the addition of any Obligor pursuant to this Section 9.7. 
 Section 9.8 Books and Records. The Obligors will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account and, in the case of the Company, in conformity with

 (a) the successor formed by such
consolidation or the survivor of such merger or the Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer, sale or lease all or substantially all of the assets of the Company as an entirety, as the case may be, is a solvent corporation or limited liability
company organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (including the District of Columbia), and, if the Company is not such successor or survivor, such successor or survivor (i) shall have executed and
delivered to each holder of any Notes its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Agreement and the Notes and (ii) shall have caused to be delivered to each holder of any Notes an
opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel or other independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, to the effect that all agreements or instruments effecting such assumption are enforceable in accordance with their
terms and comply with the terms hereof; 
 (b) each Subsidiary Guarantor and each Obligor (other than the
Company) shall have affirmed in writing its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty to which it is a party or this Agreement and the Notes, as the case may be (unless and to the extent any 

  
 - 29 -

 
such Subsidiary Guaranty or the obligations of any such Obligor, as the case may be, have been discharged or released as expressly permitted by Section 2.2(a) or otherwise in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement); and 
 (c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, including, without limitation, under Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, with any calculation of compliance therewith to be made as of the end of the immediately
preceding fiscal quarter after giving pro forma effect to the consummation of such transaction. 
 Section 10.6 Sale of
Assets. Except as permitted by Section 10.5, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, including by way of merger (collectively a “Disposition”), any
assets, including capital stock of Subsidiaries, in one or a series of transactions, to any Person, other than: 

(a) Dispositions in the ordinary course of business; 

(b) Dispositions by a Subsidiary to the Company or a Wholly-owned Subsidiary or by the Company to a Wholly-owned
Subsidiary; 
 (c) Dispositions of the Company’s interest in Chem-Mod LLC, Chem-Mod International LLC,
C-Quest Technologies LLC or C-Quest Technologies International LLC; or 
 (d) Dispositions not otherwise
permitted by Sections 10.6(a) through 10.6(c), inclusive, provided that: 
 (i) in the good
faith opinion of the Company, the Disposition is in exchange for consideration having a fair market value at least equal to that of the property exchanged and is in the best interest of the Company or such Subsidiary; 

(ii) immediately after giving effect to the Disposition, no Default or Event of Default shall exist, including, without
limitation, under Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, with any calculation of compliance therewith to be made as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter after giving pro forma effect to the consummation of such
Disposition; and 
 (iii) immediately after giving effect to the Disposition, the aggregate net book value of all
assets that were the subject of any Disposition occurring in the then current fiscal year would not exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal year of the Company, calculated in accordance with GAAP.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, or may permit a Subsidiary to, make a Disposition and the assets subject to such Disposition
shall not be subject to or included in the foregoing limitation and computation contained in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence if, within 365 days of such Disposition: 

  
 - 30 -

 (1) the net proceeds from such Disposition are reinvested in productive
assets to be used in the existing business of the Company or a Subsidiary; or 
 (2) the net proceeds from such
Disposition are applied to the payment or prepayment of the Notes or any other outstanding Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary ranking pari passu with or senior to the Notes (other than Indebtedness of the Company owing to a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate or Indebtedness of any Subsidiary owing to the Company or an Affiliate). 
 For purposes of foregoing
clause (2), the Obligors shall offer to prepay (on a Business Day not less than 30 or more than 60 days following such offer) the Notes on a pro rata basis with any such other Indebtedness that the Company elects to include in such offer at a
price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid on such Notes to the date of prepayment (but in no event with a Make Whole Amount or other premium); provided that if any holder of the Notes
declines or rejects such offer, the net proceeds that would have been paid to such holder may be used by the Company for general corporate purposes. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond in writing not later than fifteen Business Days prior to
the proposed prepayment date to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 10.6 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder. To the extent that any holder of the Notes rejects or is deemed to have
rejected such offer of prepayment, the Company may use the aggregate amount of such prepayments so rejected for general corporate purposes. 
 Section 10.7 Transactions with Affiliates. The Company will not and will not permit any Subsidiary to enter into directly or indirectly any Material transaction or Material group of related
transactions (including without limitation the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any kind or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (other than the Company or another Subsidiary), except upon terms and conditions which are
no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate and except for benefit and compensation plans and arrangements approved by the Board of
Directors (or similar governing body) of the Company or any such Subsidiary that is not a Domestic Subsidiary. 

Section 10.8 Line of Business. The Company will not and will not permit any Subsidiary to engage in any business if, as a
result, the general nature of the business in which the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be substantially changed from the general nature of the business in which the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as
a whole, are engaged on the date of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.9 Terrorism Sanctions Regulations. The Company
will not and will not permit any Controlled Entity: 
 (a) to become (including by virtue of being owned or
controlled by a Blocked Person), own or control a Blocked Person or any Person that is the target of sanctions imposed by the United Nations or by the European Union, or 

(b) to directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the sale of the Notes if such use of proceeds (i) would cause any
holder of the Notes to be in violation of any law or regulation applicable to such holder, or (ii) is prohibited by or subject to sanctions under any U.S. Economic Sanctions, or 

  
 - 31 -

 (c) to have any investment in or engage in any dealing or transaction with
any Person if such investment, dealing or transaction is prohibited by or subject to sanctions under any U.S. Economic Sanctions, or 
 (d) to engage, nor shall any Affiliate of either knowingly engage, in any activity that could subject such Person to sanctions under CISADA or any similar law or regulation with respect to Iran or any
other country that is subject to U.S. Economic Sanctions; 
 provided that any failure of the Company to comply with clause (b)(i) of
this Section 10.9 or any failure by the Company to comply with clause (c) or (d) of this Section 10.9 that causes a holder of the Notes to be in violation of any law or regulation applicable to such holder or that
subjects such holder to sanctions under CISDA or any similar law or regulation with respect to Iran or any other country that is subject to U.S. Economic Sanctions (any of the foregoing being called an “OFAC Event”) shall not
constitute a default under or breach of this Agreement but rather shall be addressed solely through the mandatory offer to prepay provisions in Section 8.8 unless, in the case of an OFAC Event arising in connection with clause
(c) or (d) of this Section 10.9, no Affected Holder accepts the prepayment offer resulting from such OFAC Event. 
 SECTION 11. Events of Default. 
 An “Event of Default” shall
exist if any of the following conditions or events shall occur and be continuing: 
 (a) the Obligors default in
the payment of any principal or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration or otherwise; or 

(b) the Obligors default in the payment of any interest on any Note for more than five Business Days after the same

time or the right of the holder of Indebtedness to convert such Indebtedness into equity interests), the Company or any Subsidiary has become obligated to purchase or repay Indebtedness before its regular maturity or before its regularly scheduled
dates of payment in an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of the greater of $25,000,000 or 1% of Consolidated Total Assets; or

Agreement. 
 As used in Section 11(j), the terms “employee benefit plan” and “employee welfare benefit plan”

 SECTION 12. Remedies on Default,
Etc. 
 Section 12.1 Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to an Obligor described in
Section 11(g) or (h) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses
clause (i) of Section 11(g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable. 
 (b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be
immediately due and payable. 
 (c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has
occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be
immediately due and payable. 
 Upon any Note becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether
automatically or by declaration, such Note will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Note, plus (i) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate)
and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further
notice, all of which are hereby waived. Each Obligor acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by any Obligor or Obligors (except as herein
specifically provided for), and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Obligors in the event that any Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the
deprivation of such right under such circumstances. 
 Section 12.2 Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and
enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the
terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise. 

  
 - 35 -

 Section 12.3 Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and
payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Obligors have paid all overdue interest on such
Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of such Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) the Obligors shall not have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and
Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any
monies due pursuant hereto or to such Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 12.4 No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder
of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof
shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Obligors under Section 15, the
Obligors will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements. 
 SECTION 13. Registration; Exchange;
Substitution of Notes 
 Section 13.1 Registration of Notes. The Obligor Agent shall keep at its principal executive
office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in
such register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Obligor Agent shall not be
affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Obligor Agent shall give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered
holders of Notes. 
 Section 13.2 Transfer and Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note to the Obligor Agent at
the address of the Company and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)) for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each

  
 - 36 -

 
transferee of such Note or part thereof), within ten Business Days thereafter, the Obligor Agent shall, and shall cause each of the other Obligors to, execute and deliver, at the Obligors’
expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be
payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or
dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Obligor Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall
not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000; provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $100,000. Any transferee,
by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 with respect to the Notes and, in addition, shall be
deemed to represent that either (a) the transferee is not, and is not acting on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (b) the transfer of the Note to, and the holding of the Note
by, the transferee is exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code as a result of an applicable class or statutory prohibited transaction exemption. The Obligors shall not, however, be required
to register any transfer of a Note if, acting in its reasonable discretion, the Obligor Agent believes such transfer is in violation of applicable law or the representations of the transferee set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 are not
true and correct. 
 Section 13.3 Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt by the Obligor Agent at the address and to the
attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of
an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and 
 (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder
of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or 

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, 

within ten Business Days thereafter, the Obligor Agent shall, and shall cause each of the other Obligors to, at their own expense, execute and deliver,
in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall
have been paid thereon.

Section 14.1 Place of Payment. Subject to Section 14.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and
interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made in Itasca, Illinois at the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction. The Company may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of the Notes
so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in Chicago, Illinois. 

Section 14.2 Home Office Payment. So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and
notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Obligors will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest by the method and at the address
specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the
presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall
surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Obligor Agent at the Company’s principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to
Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest
has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Obligor Agent in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Obligors will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is
the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2. 

SECTION 15. Expenses, Etc. 
 Section 15.1 Transaction Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Obligors will pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees of a special counsel and, if reasonably required by the Required Holders, local or other counsel) incurred by the Purchasers and each other holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in connection with any
amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement, any Notes or any Subsidiary Guaranty (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without limitation: (a) the reasonable costs and
expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guaranty or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative
demand issued in connection with this Agreement, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guaranty, or by reason of being a holder of any Note, (b) the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of any Obligor or
any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes, and (c) the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the delivery of any Subsidiary Guaranty or
Joinder Agreement as contemplated by Section 9.7. The Obligors will pay, and will save each Purchaser and each other holder of a Note harmless from, all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders
(other than those, if any, retained by a Purchaser or other holder in connection with its purchase of any Notes). 

  
 - 38 -

 Section 15.2 Survival. The obligations of the Obligors under this
Section 15 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Notes, and the termination of this Agreement. 

SECTION 16. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Entire Agreement. 

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the
purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any Obligor and any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or
on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of any Obligor pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the
Obligors under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Obligors and supersede all prior agreements and understandings (written or
oral) relating to the subject matter hereof. 
 SECTION 17. Amendment and Waiver. 

Section 17.1 Requirements. This Agreement, the Notes, any Joinder Agreement and any Subsidiary Guaranty may be amended, and
the observance of any term hereof or of any Joinder Agreement, Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively and for a specified time period or permanently), with (and only with) the written consent of the
Obligors and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser
unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing, and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of
Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of interest or of the Make-Whole Amount
on, the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of Section 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or 20.

(a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount then owned by it) with sufficient
information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof, of
the Notes, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Joinder Agreement. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each holder of
outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes as specified in Section 17.1. 

  
 - 39 -

 (b) Payment. None of the Obligors will directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid
any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of
Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any Note or any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Joinder Agreement unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support
concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment. 
 (c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent made pursuant to this Section 17.2 by the holder of any Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer such Note to any of the
Obligors, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Obligors and has provided or has agreed to provide such written consent as a condition to such transfer, shall be void and of no force except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or
to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consents or waivers granted (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void
and of no force except solely as to such transferring holder. 
 Section 17.3 Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or
waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Obligors without regard to whether such Note has been marked to
indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing
between the Obligors and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder, under any Note or under any Subsidiary Guaranty shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this
Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented. 

Section 17.4 Notes Held by the Obligors, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite
percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, the Notes, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Joinder Agreement, or have directed the
taking of any action provided herein, in the Notes, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Joinder Agreement to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly
or indirectly owned by any Obligor or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding. 
 SECTION 18. Notices.

 All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telefacsimile if the sender on
the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by a recognized overnight
delivery service (with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent: 
 (i) if to any Purchaser or its nominee,
to such Purchaser or nominee at the address specified for such communications in Schedule A, or at such other address as such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Obligor Agent in writing, 

  
 - 40 -

 (ii) if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as
such other holder shall have specified to the Obligor Agent in writing, or 
 (iii) if to any of the Obligors,
c/o the Company at its address set forth at the beginning hereof to the attention of Treasurer, with a copy to the General Counsel, or at such other address as the Company shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing. 

Notices under this Section 18 will be deemed given only when actually received. 

SECTION 19. Reproduction of Documents. 
 This Agreement or any Subsidiary Guaranty and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents
received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any
photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. Each Obligor agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction
shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and
any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Obligors or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the
same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction. 
 SECTION 20. Confidential Information. 
 For the purposes of this
Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of any Obligor or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this
Agreement and not previously disclosed in any filings by the Company with the SEC; provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such
disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by an
Obligor or any Subsidiary, or is known by such Purchaser to be under an obligation not to transmit such information to such Purchaser or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are
otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to
such Purchaser; provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and Affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the
administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this
Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or 

  
 - 41 -

 
any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (v) any
Person from which it offers to purchase any security of an Obligor (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (vi) any federal or
state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s
investment portfolio or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any
subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and
disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to
be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be
delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will, as a condition precedent to receiving such information, enter into an agreement with
the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20 and providing the Company assurances that such holder will enter into further agreements with language no more burdensome on the holder than the language contained in this
Section 20 as reasonably requested by the Company in order to comply with Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC. The Obligors shall reimburse such holder’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with entering into any such
agreement. 
 SECTION 21. Substitution of Purchaser. 

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase
hereunder, by written notice to the Obligors, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of
the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21) shall be deemed to refer to such
Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt
by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21) shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such
original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 22. Miscellaneous. 
 Section 22.1 Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note)
whether so expressed or not. 

  
 - 42 -

 Section 22.2 Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or
the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirement in Section 8.4 that the notice of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), any payment of principal of or
Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next
succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional
days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day. 
 Section 22.3 Accounting
Terms. 
 (a) Subject to Section 22.3(b), all accounting terms used herein which are not
expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 22.3(a), any calculation required by, or for the purposes of determining
compliance with, Sections 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.6 (i) shall be calculated in accordance with the specific terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, this Section 22.3(b) and, where applicable, the EBITDA
Adjustment Provisions, (ii) “estimated acquisition earnout payables” shall be determined by applying GAAP as in effect as of December 31, 2008 and (iii) any election by the Company to measure an item of Indebtedness using
fair value (as permitted by Accounting Standard Codification 825-10-25, formerly known as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if
such election had not been made. In the event of any change in GAAP after the date hereof, and if such change would affect the method of calculation of, or compliance with, any covenant set forth herein, upon the written request of the Company or
any holder of a Note, the Company and the holders of the Notes agree to endeavor in good faith to agree upon an amendment to this Agreement that would revise such covenant or method of calculation (which may include revisions to defined terms used
herein) in a manner that would preserve the original effect thereof, but would allow the method of calculation and/or compliance with such covenant to be determined in accordance with GAAP as so changed, provided that, until such covenant is
so amended and subject to the foregoing in this sentence, such method of calculation and/or covenant shall continue to be calculated in accordance with GAAP prior to such change in GAAP. No delay by the Company or any holder of Notes in requiring
such negotiation process shall limit such party’s right to so require such negotiation process at any time after such a change in GAAP. 
 Section 22.4 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction. 

  
 - 43 -

 Section 22.5 Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be
construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any
other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person. 

For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof. 

Section 22.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original
but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. 

Section 22.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties
shall be governed by, the law of the State of Illinois, excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State. 

Section 22.8 Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) Each Obligor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any Illinois State or federal court sitting in Cook County, Illinois over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Obligor
irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such
suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

(b) Each Obligor consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature
referred to in Section 22.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or
at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each Obligor agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit,
action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a
delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service. 
 (c) Nothing in
this Section 22.8 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against an Obligor in the courts of
any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction. 

  
 - 44 -

 (d) THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT
TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH. 
 Section 22.9 Nature of
Obligations. (a) The obligations of the Obligors under this Agreement and the Notes are joint and several primary obligations of each Obligor regardless of which Obligor actually receives the proceeds of any Notes or the manner in which the
Obligors, any Purchaser or any holder thereof accounts for such Notes on its books and records. 
 (b) Each Obligor hereby
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law: 
 (1) notice of the creation, renewal or accrual of any
liability of an Obligor, present or future, or of the reliance of such holder of Notes upon this Agreement (it being understood that every Indebtedness, liability and obligation described in this Agreement or the Notes shall conclusively be presumed
to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon the execution of this Agreement and the Notes); 

(2) demand of payment by any holder of Notes from an Obligor or any other Person indebted in any manner on or for any of
the Indebtedness, liabilities or obligations hereby guaranteed; and 
 (3) presentment for the payment by any

otherwise, shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination (other than by indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Notes and the obligations of the Obligors under this Agreement), whether by reason of any claim of any
character whatsoever or otherwise and shall not be subject to any defense, set-off, counterclaim (other than any compulsory counterclaim), recoupment or termination whatsoever. 

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the obligations of the Obligors hereunder and under the Notes shall be
binding upon the Obligors and their successors and assigns, and shall remain in full force and effect until the entire principal, interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and all other sums due under this Agreement shall have been paid and such
obligations shall not be affected, modified or impaired upon the happening from time to time of any event, including without limitation any of the following, whether or not with notice to or the consent of the Obligors:

 - 45 -

 (2) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance
by an Obligor or any other Person of any obligations of any kind or character whatsoever under the Notes, this Agreement or any other agreement; or

(4) impossibility or illegality of performance on the part of any Obligor or any other Person of its obligations under the

(6) any attachment, claim, demand, charge, Lien, order, process, encumbrance or any other happening or event or reason,
similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, or any withholding or diminution at the source, by reason of any taxes, assessments, expenses, Indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of any character, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not valid,
incurred by or against an Obligor or any other Person or any claims, demands, charges or Liens of any nature, foreseen or unforeseen, incurred by an Obligor or any other Person, or against any sums payable in respect of the Notes or under this
Agreement, so that such sums would be rendered inadequate or would be unavailable to make the payments herein provided; or 
 (7) any order, judgment, decree, ruling or regulation (whether or not valid) of any court of any nation or of any political subdivision thereof or any body, agency, department, official or administrative
or regulatory agency of any thereof or any other action, happening, event or reason whatsoever which shall delay, interfere with, hinder or prevent, or in any way adversely affect, the performance by an Obligor or any other Person of its respective
obligations under or in respect of the Notes, this Agreement or any other agreement; or 
 (8) the failure of any
Obligor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; or 

  
 - 46 -

 (9) any failure or lack of diligence in collection or protection, failure in
presentment or demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of default and of nonpayment, any failure to give notice to any Obligor of failure of an Obligor or any other Person to keep and perform any obligation, covenant or agreement
under the terms of the Notes, this Agreement or any other agreement or failure to resort for payment to an Obligor or to any other Person or to any other Agreement or to any property, security, Liens or other rights or remedies; or 

(10) the acceptance of any additional security or other agreement, the advance of additional money to an Obligor or any
other Person, the renewal or extension of the Notes or amendments, modifications, consents or waivers with respect to the Notes, this Agreement or any other agreement, or the sale, release, substitution or exchange of any security for the Notes; or

 (11) any merger or consolidation of an Obligor or any other Person into or with any other Person or any sale,
lease, transfer or other disposition of any of the assets of an Obligor or any other Person to any other Person, or any change in the ownership of any shares of an Obligor or any other Person or any release of any Obligor; or 

(12) any defense whatsoever that: (i) an Obligor or any other Person might have to the payment of the Notes
(principal, premium, if any, or interest), other than indefeasible payment thereof in Federal or other immediately available funds, or (ii) an Obligor or any other Person might have to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of
the Notes, this Agreement or any other agreement, whether through the satisfaction or purported satisfaction by an Obligor or any other Person of its debts due to any cause such as bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, merger, consolidation,
reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or otherwise, other than the defense of indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Notes; or 
 (13) any act or failure to act with regard to the Notes, this Agreement or any other agreement or anything which might vary the risk of any Obligor or any other Person; or 

(14) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Obligor or any
other Person in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or other Person under this Agreement or any other agreement, other than the defense of indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Notes; 

provided that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures
or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Agreement and the Notes and the parties hereto that the obligations of each Obligor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged,
impaired or varied except by the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in accordance with their respective terms whenever the same shall become due and payable as in the Notes provided
and all other sums due and payable under this Agreement, at the place specified in and all in the manner and with the effect provided in the Notes and this Agreement, as each may be amended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the
foregoing, it is understood that repeated and successive demands may 

  
 - 47 -

 
be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, an Obligor shall default under or in respect of the terms of the Notes or this Agreement and that notwithstanding
recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given default or defaults by an Obligor under the Notes or this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent default. 

(d) To the extent of any payments made under this Agreement, each Obligor making such payment shall have a right of contribution from the
other Obligors, but such Obligor covenants and agrees that such right of contribution shall be subordinate in right of payment to the rights of the holder of Notes for which full payment has not been made or provided for and, to that end, such
Obligor agrees not to claim or enforce any such right of contribution unless and until all of the Notes and all other sums due and payable under this Agreement have been fully and irrevocably paid and discharged. 

(e) Each Obligor agrees that to the extent an Obligor or any other Person makes any payment on any Note, which payment or any part
thereof is subsequently invalidated, voided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered, rescinded or is required to be retained by or repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any bankruptcy code, common law, or
equitable cause, then and to the extent of such payment, the obligation or the part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect with respect to the Obligors’ obligations hereunder, as if said payment
had not been made. The liability of the Obligors hereunder shall not be reduced or discharged, in whole or in part, by any payment to any holder of a Note from any source that is thereafter paid, returned or refunded in whole or in part by reason of
the assertion of a claim of any kind relating thereto, including, but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract, breach of warranty, preference, illegality, invalidity, or fraud asserted by any account debtor or by any other Person.

 (f) No holder of a Note shall be under any obligation: (1) to marshal any assets in favor of the Obligors or in payment
of any or all of the liabilities of any Obligor under or in respect of the Notes or the obligations of the Obligors hereunder or (2) to pursue any other remedy that the Obligors may or may not be able to pursue themselves and that may lighten
the Obligors’ burden, any right to which each Obligor hereby expressly waives. 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, including this Section 22.9, all obligations and liabilities of an Obligor under this Agreement, the Notes and any Joinder Agreement shall automatically, without any action on the part of any party hereto,
terminate and be void and of no further force and effect with respect to such Obligor (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) if and when such Obligor (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) is released from this Agreement, the Notes and
any Joinder Agreement by reason of the express provisions of Section 2.2 of this Agreement or is otherwise released from this Agreement, the Notes and any Joinder Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

Section 22.10 Obligor Agent. (a) Each Obligor (other than the Company) by its execution of this Agreement or a Joinder
Agreement irrevocably appoints the Company to act on its behalf as its agent (the “Obligor Agent”) in relation to this Agreement and the Notes and irrevocably authorizes: 

  
 - 48 -

 (i) the Company on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself
contemplated by this Agreement to the holders of a Note and to give all notices and instructions, to execute on its behalf any Joinder Agreement, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations capable of
being given, made or effected by any Obligor notwithstanding that they may affect the Obligor, without further reference to or the consent of that Obligor; and 
 (ii) each holder of a Note to give any notice, demand or other communication to that Obligor pursuant to the this Agreement and the Notes to the Company, 

and in each case the Obligors shall be bound as though that Obligor itself had given the notices and instructions or executed or made the agreements or
effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication. 
 (b) Every
act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made by the Obligor Agent or given to the Obligor Agent under this Agreement and the Notes on behalf of another
Obligor or in connection with this Agreement and the Notes (whether or not known to any other Obligor and whether occurring before or after such other Obligor became an Obligor under this Agreement and the Notes) shall be binding for all purposes on
that Obligor as if that Obligor had expressly made, given or concurred with it. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of the Obligor Agent and any other Obligor, those of the Obligor Agent shall prevail.

 *     *     *     *     *

counterpart of this Agreement and return it to the Company, whereupon this Agreement shall become a binding agreement between you and the Obligors.

 FOR THE OBLIGORS

 June 14, 2013 
 To the Purchasers Listed 
 on Schedule I hereto 

Re: $200,000,000 3.69% Senior Notes, Series G, due June 14, 2022 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 We have acted as counsel to (i) Arthur J.

Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Gallagher Bassett”), (vi) Gallagher Benefit Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Gallagher Benefit”), (vii) Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, Inc.,
an Illinois corporation (“Gallagher Risk”), and (viii) Arthur J. Gallagher Service Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Gallagher Service”, and, collectively with the Company, AJG Illinois, AJG
Brokerage, RPS, Gallagher Bassett, Gallagher Benefit and Gallagher Risk, the “Obligors”), in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the
“Agreement”), among the Purchasers listed on Schedule I hereto (the “Purchasers”) and the Obligors, pursuant to which the Obligors are issuing to the Purchasers $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their 3.69%
Senior Notes, Series G, due June 14, 2022 (the “Notes”). This opinion letter is being delivered to you at the request of the Obligors pursuant to Section 4.4(a) of the Agreement. 

In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of: 

(a) the Agreement; and 
 (b) the Notes being delivered to the Purchasers on the date hereof. 
 We also have examined
originals, or copies of originals certified to our satisfaction, of such agreements, documents, certificates and other statements of government officials and other instruments, have examined such questions of law and have satisfied ourselves as to
such matters of fact as we have considered relevant and necessary as a basis for this opinion letter. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals and the conformity with the original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies or by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission. As to facts relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have
relied, without independent investigation or verification, upon, and assumed the accuracy and completeness of, the representations and warranties made in the Agreement and upon certificates and oral and written statements of officers of the
Obligors. 
  

  

EXHIBIT 4.4(a) 
 (to Note Purchase Agreement) 

 Based on and subject to the foregoing and the other limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions
set forth herein, this will advise you that in the opinion of the undersigned: 
 1. The Agreement constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of each Obligor, enforceable against each Obligor in accordance with its terms. 
 2. The Notes, when
delivered to and paid for by the Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of each Obligor, enforceable against each Obligor in accordance with their respective terms. 

3. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties and compliance with the agreements of the Obligors and the Purchasers in
the Agreement, it is not necessary, in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes by the Obligors to the Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Agreement, to register the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to qualify
an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. 
 4. Based upon the Officer’s Certificate of the Company
dated the date hereof and attached hereto, the issuance of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of and as contemplated by the Agreement does not violate Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following qualifications, exceptions, assumptions and limitations: 

A. The foregoing opinions are limited to matters arising under the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State
of Illinois. We express no opinion as to the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction, or as to the municipal laws or the laws, rules or regulations of any local agencies or governmental authorities of or within the State of Illinois, or
in each case as to any matters arising thereunder or relating thereto. 
 B. Our opinions in paragraph 1 and 2 above are subject
to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and to general principles of equity (whether considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law), including concepts of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief. 

C. We express no opinion as to any provision of any instrument, agreement or other document regarding (i) severability of the
provisions thereof or (ii) providing that the assertion or employment of any right or remedy shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy, or that every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy, or that any delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall not impair any right or remedy or constitute a waiver thereof. 
 D. With respect to the Agreement and the Notes (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), we have assumed, to the extent relevant to the opinions set forth herein, that (i) each
party to such Transaction Document (if not a natural person) was duly formed or organized, as the case may be, and was at all relevant times and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation or
organization, as the case may 

  
 4.4(a)-2

 
be, and had at all relevant times and has the full right, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under such Transaction Document, (ii) such Transaction Document
has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each party thereto, (iii) such Transaction Document was at all relevant times and is the valid, binding and enforceable agreement or obligation, as the case may be, of each party thereto in
accordance with its terms, provided that we make no such assumption in this clause (iii) insofar as such matters relate to any of the Obligors and is expressly covered by our opinions in paragraph 1 or 2 above, and (iv) the terms and
provisions of such Transaction Document do not, and the execution, delivery and performance thereof by each of the parties to such Transaction Document do not and will not, violate the respective organizational documents of any of the parties to
such Transaction Document or any law, order or decree of any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority binding on any such party, or result in a breach of or cause a default under any contract, instrument or agreement to which
each party to such Transaction Document is a party or by which any such party is bound. 
     This opinion letter is being
rendered and delivered solely to and for the benefit of the persons to whom it is addressed in connection with the matters described above; accordingly, it may not be quoted or otherwise delivered to or relied upon by any other person or used for
any other purpose without our prior written consent. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence: (i) you may make available a copy of this opinion letter to any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over you (as well as the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or any prospective purchaser of the Notes that is an Institutional Investor (as defined in clause (c) of the definition thereof set forth in Schedule B to the Agreement), provided that such
recipient shall not be entitled to rely on this opinion letter; and (ii) any Institutional Investor (as defined in clause (c) of the definition thereof set forth in Schedule B to the Agreement) who purchases a Note may rely on this opinion
letter as of the date hereof (and any reliance after the date hereof shall not be deemed to be an updating or re-delivery of the opinions expressed in this opinion letter). We assume no obligation to notify you or any such Institutional Investor or
to supplement this opinion letter to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention with respect to the opinions expressed herein, including any changes in applicable law which may hereafter occur. 

Very truly yours,

 FORM OF OPINION OF
COUNSEL 
 FOR THE OBLIGORS 

June 14, 2013 
 To the
Purchasers Listed 
 on Schedule I hereto 
 Re: $200,000,000 3.69% Senior Notes, Series G, due June 14, 2022 
 Ladies and
Gentlemen: 
 I am General Counsel of (i) Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), (ii) Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (Illinois), an Illinois corporation (“AJG Illinois”), (iii) Arthur J. Gallagher Brokerage & Risk Management Services, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“AJG Brokerage”), (iv) Risk Placement Services, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“RPS”), (v) Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Gallagher

Risk”), and (viii) Arthur J. Gallagher Service Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Gallagher Service”, and, collectively with the Company, AJG Illinois, AJG Brokerage, RPS, Gallagher Bassett, Gallagher
Benefit and Gallagher Risk, the “Obligors”), in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Agreement”), among the Purchasers
listed on Schedule I hereto (the “Purchasers”) and the Obligors, pursuant to which the Obligors are issuing to the Purchasers $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their 3.69% Senior Notes, Series G, due June 14,
2022 (the “Notes”). This opinion letter is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 4.4(b) of the Agreement. 
 I have reviewed the following documents and all exhibits thereto for the purposes of rendering the opinions expressed herein: 

 

	 	a)	the Agreement; and 

  

	 	b)	the Notes being delivered to the Purchasers on the date hereof. 

 I have also examined originals, or copies of originals certified to my satisfaction, of such agreements, documents, certificates and other statements of government officials and other instruments, have
examined such questions of law and have satisfied myself as to such matters of fact as I have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for this opinion letter. I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the
conformity with the original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies or by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission for my examination and the legal capacity of all natural persons. 

  

EXHIBIT 4.4(b) 
 (to Note Purchase Agreement) 

 Based on and subject to the foregoing and the other limitations, qualifications, exceptions
and assumptions set forth herein, this will advise you that in the opinion of the undersigned: 
 1. The Company is validly
existing as a corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute and perform its obligations under the Agreement and to issue the Notes and has the corporate
power and authority to conduct the activities in which it is now engaged and is duly licensed or qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or the
nature of the business transacted by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and
its subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 2. Each Obligor other than the Company is validly existing as a corporation or limited
liability company and is in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation or formation. Each Obligor other than the Company has the corporate or limited liability company power and authority to execute and perform its obligations under
the Agreement and has the corporate or limited liability company power and authority to conduct the activities in which it is now engaged and is duly licensed or qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or limited liability company
in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or the nature of the business transacted by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good
standing would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or limited liability company interests of each Obligor other
than the Company have been duly issued, are (in the case of shares of capital stock) fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Company, by one or more subsidiaries of the Company, or by the Company and one or more of its subsidiaries, free
and clear of any lien, mortgage, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance. 
 3. All necessary corporate or
limited liability company action on the part of each Obligor has been taken to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by such Obligor, and the Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Obligor. 

4. All necessary corporate or limited liability company action on the part of each Obligor has been taken to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of the Notes by such Obligor, and the Notes have been duly executed and delivered by each Obligor. 

5. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of any federal regulatory body, federal administrative agency or other federal
governmental body of the United States of America or any state regulatory body, state administrative agency or other state governmental body is required under Applicable Laws for the execution, delivery or performance of the Agreement or the Notes
by the Obligors or the issuance and sale of the Notes to the Purchasers as contemplated by the Agreement. As used in this opinion letter, “Applicable Laws” means the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Limited
Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware, those state laws of the State of Illinois and those federal laws of the United States of America which a lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction exercising customary diligence would reasonably recognize as
being applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Agreement; provided, that the term “Applicable Laws” shall not include 

  
 E-4.4(b)-2

 
federal or state securities or blue sky laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended, or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or in each case any rules or regulations thereunder). 
 6.
The execution and delivery by each Obligor of the Agreement and the Notes do not, and the performance by each Obligor of the Agreement and the Notes (including the issuance and sale of the Notes) will not, (i) violate the certificate or
articles of incorporation, certificate of formation, by-laws or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of such Obligor, (ii) result in a violation by such Obligor of any of the terms and provisions of any Applicable Laws or
(iii) result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance in respect of any property of such Obligor under, any agreement or other instrument known to me to which such Obligor is a party
or by which such Obligor may be bound, including, without limitation, the agreements set forth in Schedule 5.15(c) to the Agreement. 
 7. No Obligor is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

8. To my knowledge after due inquiry, except as disclosed in the Company’s reports, documents or other materials filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, there are no legal, governmental or regulatory investigations, actions, suits or proceedings pending to which any Obligor is a party or to which any property of any Obligor is the subject which, individually or in
the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the business or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or which would impair the ability of the Obligors to issue and deliver the Notes or to
comply with the provisions of the Agreement or the Notes or which challenges the legal, valid and binding nature of the Agreement or the Notes; and to my knowledge, no such investigations, actions, suits or proceedings are threatened or contemplated
by any governmental or regulatory authority or threatened by others. 
 As to facts relevant to the opinions expressed herein, I
have reviewed originals of each of the Agreement and the Notes (collectively, the “Relevant Documents”) and have relied, without independent investigation or verification, upon, and assumed the accuracy and completeness of, the
representations and warranties made in the Agreement. 
 I am the Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company,
and I am delivering this opinion letter only in such capacity. 
 This opinion letter is subject to the following
qualifications: 
 (A) In rendering the opinions set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above with respect to the Obligors’ valid
existence and good standing and license or qualification to transact business as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, I have relied solely on certificates of government officials, in each case as of a recent date prior
to the date hereof. 
 (B) I express no opinion in paragraph 6(iii) above as to any breach of or default under any financial
covenant or any provision requiring a mathematical, accounting or financial computation or determination. 

  
 E-4.4(b)-3

 (C) Any opinion herein which is expressed to be “to my knowledge” or “known
to me” or is otherwise qualified by words of like import means that I have no actual knowledge of any facts or information contrary to such opinion. I have not undertaken any independent investigation, beyond that mentioned in paragraph 8 of
this opinion letter, to determine the accuracy of any such facts or information, and no inference as to my knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any such facts or information should be drawn solely from the fact of my employment by the
Company or the rendering of this opinion letter. 
 (D) This opinion letter is limited to matters arising under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware, the laws of the State of Illinois and the federal laws of the United States of America. I express no opinion as to the laws, rules or regulations
of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other Delaware laws, rules or regulations, or as to the municipal laws or the laws, rules or regulations of any local agencies or governmental authorities of or within the State of Illinois,
or in each case as to any matters arising thereunder or relating thereto. I express no opinion as to matters relating to securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. 
 This opinion letter is being rendered and delivered solely to and for the benefit of the persons to whom it is addressed in connection with the matters described above; accordingly, it may not be quoted
or otherwise delivered to or relied upon by any other person or used for any other purpose without my prior written consent. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence: (i) you may make available a copy of this opinion letter to any federal or
state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over you (as well as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or any prospective purchaser of the Notes that is an Institutional Investor (as defined in clause (c) of the definition
thereof set forth in Schedule B to the Agreement), provided that such recipient shall not be entitled to rely on this opinion letter; and (ii) any Institutional Investor (as defined in clause (c) of the definition thereof set forth in
Schedule B to the Agreement) who purchases a Note may rely on this opinion letter as of the date hereof (and any reliance after the date hereof shall not be deemed to be an updating or re-delivery of the opinions expressed in this opinion letter). I
assume no obligation to notify you or any such Institutional Investor or to supplement this opinion letter to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to my attention with respect to the opinions expressed herein, including any
changes in applicable law which may hereafter occur.

This GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of ___________, ______ (the or this “Guaranty”) is
entered into on a joint and several basis by each of the undersigned (which parties are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Guarantor” and collectively as the “Guarantors”). 

RECITALS

each, together with any Subsidiary which is required to become an Obligor in compliance with the requirements of Section 9.7 of the Note Purchase Agreement, hereinafter individually referred to as an “Obligor” and collectively
as the “Obligors”) and each of the purchasers named on Schedule A thereto (the “Initial Note Purchasers”; the Initial Note Purchasers, together with their successors, assigns or any other future holder of the
Notes (as hereinafter defined), the “Holders”), providing for, inter alia, the issue and sale by the Company to the Initial Note Purchasers of $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their 3.69% Senior Notes, Series G, due

 D. Each of the Guarantors has derived substantial direct and indirect
benefit from the sale of the Notes to the Initial Note Purchasers. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, as required
by Section 9.7 of the Note Purchase Agreement and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor does hereby covenant and agree, jointly
and severally, as follows: 

  

EXHIBIT 9.7(a)(i) 

 SECTION 1. Definitions. 

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement unless herein defined or the context shall
otherwise require. 
 SECTION 2. Guaranty of Notes and Note Purchase Agreement. 

(a) Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2(b) hereof, each Guarantor jointly and severally does hereby irrevocably,
absolutely and unconditionally guarantee unto the Holders: (1) the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium (including, without limitation, any Make-Whole Amount), if any, and interest on the Notes and any other amounts from time to
time outstanding under the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes, as and when such payments shall become due and payable whether by lapse of time, upon redemption or prepayment, by extension or by acceleration or declaration or otherwise (including
(to the extent legally enforceable) interest due on overdue payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest at the rate set forth in the Notes and interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Notes after the filing of any
petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to an Obligor, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding) in Federal or other immediately
available funds of the United States of America which at the time of payment or demand therefor shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, (2) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Obligors of each and
all of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or owed by the Obligors under the terms of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement and (3) the full and prompt payment, upon demand by any Holder, of all costs and
expenses, legal or otherwise (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), if any, as shall have been expended or incurred in the protection or enforcement of any rights, privileges or liabilities in favor of the Holders under or in respect of the
Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or under this Guaranty or in any consultation or action in connection therewith or herewith and in each and every case irrespective of the validity, regularity, or enforcement of any of the Notes or Note Purchase
Agreement or any of the terms thereof or any other like circumstance or circumstances. 
 (b) The liability of each Guarantor
under this Guaranty shall not exceed an amount equal to a maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, result in the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder
not constituting a fraudulent transfer, obligation or conveyance. 
 SECTION 3. Guaranty of Payment and Performance. 

This is a guarantee of payment and performance and each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to
require that any action on or in respect of any Note or the Note Purchase Agreement be brought against an Obligor or any other Person or that resort be had to any direct or indirect security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy.
Any Holder may, at its option, proceed hereunder against any Guarantor in the first instance to collect monies when due, the payment of which is guaranteed hereby, without first proceeding against an Obligor or any other Person and without first
resorting to any direct or indirect security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected or impaired by any acceptance by any Holder of

  
 E-9.7(a)(i)-2

 
any direct or indirect security for, or other guaranties of, any Indebtedness, liability or obligation of an Obligor or any other Person to any Holder or by any failure, delay, neglect or
omission by any Holder to realize upon or protect any such guarantees, Indebtedness, liability or obligation or any notes or other instruments evidencing the same or any direct or indirect security therefor or by any approval, consent, waiver, or
other action taken, or omitted to be taken by any such Holder. 
 The covenants and agreements on the part of the Guarantors
herein contained shall take effect as joint and several covenants and agreements, and references to the Guarantors shall take effect as references to each of them and none of them shall be released from liability hereunder by reason of the guarantee
ceasing to be binding as a continuing security on any other of them. 
 SECTION 4. General Provisions Relating to the Guaranty.

 (a) Each Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that any Holder or Holders from time to time, with or without any further
notice to or assent from any other Guarantor may, without in any manner affecting the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and upon such terms and conditions as any such Holder or Holders may deem advisable: 

(1) extend in whole or in part (by renewal or otherwise), modify, change, compromise, release or extend the duration of
the time for the performance or payment of any Indebtedness, liability or obligation of any Obligor or of any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any Indebtedness, liability or obligations of such Obligor on the Notes, or waive any
Default or Event of Default with respect thereto, or waive, modify, amend or change any provision of any other agreement or this Guaranty; or 
 (2) sell, release, surrender, modify, impair, exchange or substitute any and all property, of any nature and from whomsoever received, held by, or for the benefit of, any such Holder as direct or indirect
security for the payment or performance of any Indebtedness, liability or obligation of an Obligor or of any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any Indebtedness, liability or obligation of such Obligor on the Notes; or 

(3) settle, adjust or compromise any claim of an Obligor against any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any
Indebtedness, liability or obligation of such Obligor on the Notes. 
 Each Guarantor hereby ratifies and confirms any such
extension, renewal, change, sale, release, waiver, surrender, exchange, modification, amendment, impairment, substitution, settlement, adjustment or compromise and that the same shall be binding upon it, and hereby waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which it might or could have by reason thereof, it being understood that such Guarantor shall at all times be bound by this Guaranty and remain liable hereunder. 

  
 E-9.7(a)(i)-3

 (b) Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law: 

(1) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Holders or of the creation, renewal or accrual of any liability of an
Obligor, present or future, or of the reliance of such Holders upon this Guaranty (it being understood that every Indebtedness, liability and obligation described in Section 2 hereof shall conclusively be presumed to have been created,
contracted or incurred in reliance upon the execution of this Guaranty); 
 (2) demand of payment by any Holder
from an Obligor or any other Person indebted in any manner on or for any of the Indebtedness, liabilities or obligations hereby guaranteed; and 
 (3) presentment for the payment by any Holder or any other Person of the Notes or any other instrument, protest thereof and notice of its dishonor to any party thereto and to such Guarantor. 

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty and the rights of any Holder to enforce such obligations by any proceedings,
whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination (other than by indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Notes and the obligations of the Obligors under the Note
Purchase Agreement), whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever or otherwise and shall not be subject to any defense, set-off, counterclaim (other than any compulsory counterclaim), recoupment or termination whatsoever. 

(c) The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be binding upon the Guarantors and their successors and assigns, and shall remain
in full force and effect until the entire principal, interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and all other sums due pursuant to Section 2 shall have been paid and such obligations shall not be affected, modified or impaired upon the
happening from time to time of any event, including without limitation any of the following, whether or not with notice to or the consent of the Guarantors: 
 (1) the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or any of the terms of any thereof, the continuance of any obligation on the
part of the Obligors, any other Guarantors or any other Person on or in respect of the Notes or under the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or the power or authority or the lack of power or authority of the Obligors to issue the Notes
or the Obligors to execute and deliver the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or of any other Guarantors to execute and deliver this Guaranty or any other agreement or to perform any of its obligations hereunder or the existence or
continuance of the Obligors or any other Person as a legal entity; or 
 (2) any default, failure or delay,
willful or otherwise, in the performance by an Obligor, any other Guarantor or any other Person of any obligations of any kind or character whatsoever under the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement; or 

(3) any creditors’ rights, bankruptcy, receivership or other insolvency proceeding of an Obligor, any other Guarantor
or any other Person or in respect of the property of an Obligor, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any merger, consolidation, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of or winding up of
an Obligor, any other Guarantor or any other Person; or 

  
 E-9.7(a)(i)-4

 (4) impossibility or illegality of performance on the part of an Obligor,
any other Guarantor or any other Person of its obligations under the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreements; or 
 (5) in respect of an Obligor, any other Guarantors or any other Person, any change of circumstances, whether or not foreseen or foreseeable, whether or not imputable to an Obligor, any other Guarantors or
any other Person, or other impossibility of performance through fire, explosion, accident, labor disturbance, floods, droughts, embargoes, wars (whether or not declared), civil commotion, acts of God or the public enemy, delays or failure of
suppliers or carriers, inability to obtain materials, action of any Federal or state regulatory body or agency, change of law or any other causes affecting performance, or any other force majeure, whether or not beyond the control of an Obligor, any
other Guarantors or any other Person and whether or not of the kind hereinbefore specified; or 
 (6) any
attachment, claim, demand, charge, Lien, order, process, encumbrance or any other happening or event or reason, similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, or any withholding or diminution at the source, by reason of any taxes, assessments, expenses,
Indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of any character, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not valid, incurred by or against an Obligor, any Guarantor or any other Person or any claims, demands, charges or Liens of any nature, foreseen or
unforeseen, incurred by an Obligor, any Guarantor or any other Person, or against any sums payable in respect of the Notes or under the Note Purchase Agreement or this Guaranty, so that such sums would be rendered inadequate or would be unavailable
to make the payments herein provided; or 
 (7) any order, judgment, decree, ruling or regulation (whether or not
valid) of any court of any nation or of any political subdivision thereof or any body, agency, department, official or administrative or regulatory agency of any thereof or any other action, happening, event or reason whatsoever which shall delay,
interfere with, hinder or prevent, or in any way adversely affect, the performance by an Obligor, any Guarantor or any other Person of its respective obligations under or in respect of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any
other agreement; or 
 (8) the failure of any Guarantor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its
execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty; or 
 (9) any failure or lack of diligence in collection or
protection, failure in presentment or demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of default and of nonpayment, any failure to give notice to any Guarantor of failure of an Obligor, any Guarantor or any other Person to keep and perform
any obligation, covenant or agreement under the terms of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement or failure to resort for payment to an Obligor, any other Guarantor or to any other Person or to any other guaranty
or to any property, security, Liens or other rights or remedies; or 

  
 E-9.7(a)(i)-5

 (10) the acceptance of any additional security or other guaranty, the
advance of additional money to an Obligor or any other Person, the renewal or extension of the Notes or amendments, modifications, consents or waivers with respect to the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement, or the sale,
release, substitution or exchange of any security for the Notes; or 
 (11) any merger or consolidation of an
Obligor, any other Guarantor or any other Person into or with any other Person or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any of the assets of an Obligor, any other Guarantor or any other Person to any other Person, or any change in the
ownership of any shares of an Obligor, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any release of any other Guarantor; or 
 (12) any defense whatsoever that: (i) an Obligor or any other Person might have to the payment of the Notes (principal, premium, if any, or interest), other than indefeasible payment thereof in
Federal or other immediately available funds, or (ii) an Obligor or any other Person might have to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement, whether through the
satisfaction or purported satisfaction by an Obligor, any other Guarantor or any other Person of its debts due to any cause such as bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, merger, consolidation, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or
otherwise, other than the defense of indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Notes; or 
 (13) any act or
failure to act with regard to the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement or anything which might vary the risk of any Guarantor or any other Person; or 

(14) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor or
any other Person in respect of the obligations of any Guarantor or other Person under this Guaranty or any other agreement, other than the defense of indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Notes; 

provided that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures
or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Guaranty and the parties hereto that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied
except by the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in accordance with their respective terms whenever the same shall become due and payable as in the Notes provided and all other sums
due and payable under the Note Purchase Agreement, at the place specified in and all in the manner and with the effect provided in the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement, as each may be amended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the
foregoing, it is understood that repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, an Obligor shall default under or in respect of the terms of the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement
and 

  
 E-9.7(a)(i)-6

 
that notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given default or defaults by an Obligor under the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty shall remain in full force
and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent default. 
 (d) All rights of any Holder may be transferred or assigned
at any time and shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of such Note whether with or without the consent of or notice to the Guarantors under this Guaranty or to the Obligors. 

(e) To the extent of any payments made under this Guaranty, the Guarantors shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holder or Holders
upon whose Notes such payment was made, but each Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior indefeasible final payment in cash in full of all amounts due and owing
by the Obligors with respect to the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement and by the Guarantors under this Guaranty, and the Guarantors shall not take any action to enforce such right of subrogation, and the Guarantors shall not accept any payment
in respect of such right of subrogation, until all amounts due and owing by the Obligors under or in respect of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement and all amounts due and owing by the Guarantors hereunder have indefeasibly been finally paid
in cash in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the indefeasible payment in cash in full of the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Notes, the Note Purchase
Agreement and this Guaranty, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Holders to be credited and applied to the amounts due or to become due with respect to the Notes and all other amounts
payable under the Note Purchase Agreement and this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has received direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement and
that the waiver set forth in this paragraph (e) is knowingly made as a result of the receipt of such benefits. 

(f) To the extent of any payments made under this Guaranty, each Guarantor making such payment shall have a right of contribution from
the other Guarantors, but such Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of contribution shall be subordinate in right of payment to the rights of the Holders for which full payment has not been made or provided for and, to that end, such
Guarantor agrees not to claim or enforce any such right of contribution unless and until all of the Notes and all other sums due and payable under the Note Purchase Agreement have been fully and irrevocably paid and discharged. 

(g) Each Guarantor agrees that to the extent an Obligor, any other Guarantor or any other Person makes any payment on any Note, which
payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, voided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered, rescinded or is required to be retained by or repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any bankruptcy
code, common law, or equitable cause, then and to the extent of such payment, the obligation or the part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect with respect to the Guarantors’ obligations
hereunder, as if said payment had not been made. The liability of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced or discharged, in whole or in part, by any payment to any Holder from any source that is thereafter paid, returned or refunded in whole
or in part by reason of the assertion of a claim of any kind relating thereto, including, but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract, breach of warranty, preference, illegality, invalidity, or fraud asserted by any account debtor or by any
other Person. 

  
 E-9.7(a)(i)-7

 (h) No Holder shall be under any obligation: (1) to marshal any assets in favor of the
Guarantors or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of any Obligor under or in respect of the Notes or the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder or (2) to pursue any other remedy that the Guarantors may or may not be able to pursue
themselves and that may lighten the Guarantors’ burden, any right to which each Guarantor hereby expressly waives. 
 (i)
The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty rank pari passu in right of payment with all other Indebtedness of such Guarantor which is not secured or which is not expressly subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness
of such Guarantor. 
 (j) A Guarantor shall be automatically discharged and released from this Guaranty pursuant to and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement. 
 SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties
of the Guarantors. 
 Each Guarantor represents and warrants to each Holder that: 

(a) Such Guarantor is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to
be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (1) the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets or properties of such Guarantor and
its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (2) the ability of such Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty, or (3) the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty (herein in this Section 5, a “Material
Adverse Effect”). Such Guarantor has the power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this
Guaranty and to perform the provisions hereof. 
 (b) This Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part
of such Guarantor, and this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (1) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (2) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law). 
 (c) The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty will not (1) contravene,
result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries under any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit
agreement, lease, charter document or by-law, or any other material agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries is bound or by which such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries or any of

  
 E-9.7(a)(i)-8

 
their respective properties may be bound or affected, (2) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any
court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries or (3) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the such Guarantor or
any of its subsidiaries. 
 (d) No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any
Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty. 
 (e) Such Guarantor is solvent, has capital not unreasonably small in relation to its business or any contemplated or undertaken transaction and has assets having a value both at fair valuation and at
present fair salable value greater than the amount required to pay its debts as they become due and greater than the amount that will be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured. Such Guarantor
does not intend to incur, or believe or should have believed that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due. Such Guarantor will not be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of, and performance of its
obligations under, this Guaranty. Such Guarantor does not intend to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors by or through the execution and delivery of, or performance of its obligations under, this Guaranty. 

(f) The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty rank at least pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured
senior Indebtedness (actual or contingent) of each Guarantor. 
 SECTION 6. Guarantor Covenants. 

From and after the date of issuance of the Notes by the Obligors and continuing so long as any amount remains unpaid thereon each
Guarantor agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of Sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5 and 9.8 of the Note Purchase Agreement, insofar as such provisions apply to such Guarantor, as if said Sections were set forth herein in full. 

SECTION 7. [Reserved]. 
 SECTION 8. Governing Law. 
 (a) THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH
STATE. 
 (b) Each Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Illinois State or federal court
sitting in Cook County, Illinois over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Guarantor irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a
defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that 

  
 E-9.7(a)(i)-9

 
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such
court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (c) The parties hereto waive any right to have a jury participate in
resolving any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, between them arising out of, connected with, related to or incidental to the relationship established between them in connection with this Guaranty, any financing agreement,
any loan party document or any other instrument, document or agreement executed or delivered in connection herewith or the transactions related hereto. The parties hereto hereby agree and consent that any such claim, demand, action or cause of
action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that any of them may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Guaranty with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by
jury. 
 SECTION 9. [Reserved]. 
 SECTION 10. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. 
 (a) This Guaranty may be amended,
and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of each Guarantor and the Required Holders. 

(b) The Guarantors will provide each Holder (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information,
sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof. The Guarantors
will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10 to each Holder promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the
consent or approval of, the Required Holders. 
 (c) The Obligors will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any
remuneration, whether by way of fee or otherwise, or grant any security, to any Holder as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any Holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such
remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted, on the same terms, ratably to each Holder even if such Holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment. 

(d) Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 10 applies equally to all Holders and is binding upon
them and upon each future holder and upon the Guarantors. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between
the Guarantors and any Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder. As used herein, the term “this Guaranty” and references thereto shall mean this Guaranty as it may from
time to time be amended or supplemented. 

  
 E-9.7(a)(i)-10

 (e) Solely for the purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of
the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Guaranty, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Guarantor, any Obligor or any of their respective
subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding. 
 SECTION 11. Notices. 

All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telefacsimile if the sender on the same
day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by a recognized overnight delivery
service (with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent: 
 (1) if to an Initial Note Purchaser or such
Initial Note Purchaser’s nominee, to such Initial Note Purchaser or such Initial Note Purchaser’s nominee at the address specified for such communications in Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement, or at such other address as such
Initial Note Purchaser or such Initial Note Purchaser’s nominee shall have specified to any Guarantor or the Company in writing, 
 (2) if to any other Holder, to such Holder at such address as such Holder shall have specified to any Guarantor or the Company in writing, or 

(3) if to any Guarantor, to such Guarantor c/o the Company at its address set forth at the beginning of the Note Purchase
Agreement to the attention of Treasurer, with a copy to the General Counsel, or at such other address as such Guarantor shall have specified to the Holders in writing. 
 Notices under this Section 11 will be deemed given only when actually received. 
 SECTION 12. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
any Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof but any such right or power may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle any Holder to exercise any remedy reserved to it under the Guaranty, it shall not be necessary for such Holder to physically produce its Note in any proceedings
instituted by it or to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required. 
 (b) The Guarantors will
pay all sums becoming due under this Guaranty by the method and at the address specified in the Note Purchase Agreement, or by such other method or at such other address as any Holder shall have from time to time specified to the Guarantors in
writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Guaranty or any Note. 

  
 E-9.7(a)(i)-11

 (c) Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent
permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 (d) If the whole or any
part of this Guaranty shall be now or hereafter become unenforceable against any one or more of the Guarantors for any reason whatsoever or if it is not executed by any one or more of the Guarantors, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be and remain
fully binding upon and enforceable against each other Guarantor as if it had been made and delivered only by such other Guarantors. 
 (e) This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder and its successors and assigns so long as its Notes remain outstanding
and unpaid. 
 (f) This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of
which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. 

SECTION 13. Indemnity. 
 To the fullest extent of applicable law, each Guarantor shall indemnify and save each Holder harmless from and against any losses which may arise by virtue of any of the obligations hereby guaranteed
being or becoming for any reason whatsoever in whole or in part void, voidable, contrary to law, invalid, ineffective or otherwise unenforceable by the Holder or any of them in accordance with its terms (all of the foregoing collectively, an
“Indemnifiable Circumstance”). For greater certainty, these losses shall include without limitation all obligations hereby guaranteed which would have been payable by the Obligors but for the existence of an Indemnifiable Circumstance, net
of any withholding or deduction of or on account of any tax; provided, however, that the extent of the Guarantor’s aggregate liability under this Section 13 shall not at any time exceed the amount (but for any Indemnifiable Circumstance)
otherwise guaranteed pursuant to Section 2. 
 SECTION 14. Termination. 

This Guaranty shall automatically, without any action on the part of any party hereto, terminate and be void and of no further force and
effect with respect to any Guarantor (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) if and when such Guarantor (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) is released from this Guaranty by reason of the express provisions of Section 2.2 of the
Note Purchase Agreement or is otherwise released from this Guaranty in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. 

  
 E-9.7(a)(i)-12

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused
this Guaranty to be duly executed by an authorized representative as of this     _ day of                     ,
            .
