 Executive Retention Agreement 
  
 THIS EXECUTIVE RETENTION AGREEMENT by and between Bio-Imaging Technologies,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                      (the “Executive”) is made as of October
    , 2004 (the “Effective Date”). 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly-held corporations, the possibility of a change in control of the Company exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among
key personnel, may result in the departure or distraction of key personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders, and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage
the continued employment and dedication of the Company’s key personnel without distraction from the possibility of a change in control of the Company and related events and circumstances. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement for and in consideration of the Executive
remaining in its employ, the Company agrees that the Executive shall receive the severance benefits set forth in this Agreement in the event the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated under the circumstances described below in
connection with a Change in Control (as defined in Section 1.1). 
  
 1. Key Definitions. 
  
 As used herein, the
following terms shall have the following respective meanings: 
  
 1.1 “Change in Control” means an event or occurrence set forth in any one or more of subsections (a) through (d) below (including an event or occurrence that constitutes a Change in Control under one
of such subsections but is specifically exempted from another such subsection): 
  
 (a) the acquisition by an individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership of any capital stock of the Company if, after such acquisition, such Person beneficially owns (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act) 50% or more of either (x) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (y) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (i) any
acquisition of securities directly from the Company (excluding an acquisition pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any security exercisable for, 

  

 
convertible into or exchangeable for common stock or voting securities of the Company, unless the Person exercising, converting or exchanging such security
acquired such security directly from the Company or an underwriter or agent of the Company), (ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any
corporation controlled by the Company, or (iv) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) of this Section 1.1; or 
  
 (b) such time as the Continuing Directors (as defined below)
do not constitute a majority of the Board (or, if applicable, the Board of Directors of a successor corporation to the Company), where the term “Continuing Director” means at any date a member of the Board (i) who was a member of the Board
on the date of the execution of this Agreement or (ii) who was nominated or elected subsequent to such date by at least a majority of the directors who were Continuing Directors at the time of such nomination or election or whose election to the
Board was recommended or endorsed by at least a majority of the directors who were Continuing Directors at the time of such nomination or election; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from this clause (ii) any individual
whose initial assumption of office occurred as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents, by or on behalf of a person
other than the Board; or 
  
 (c) the consummation
of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or statutory share exchange involving the Company or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in one or a series of transactions (a
“Business Combination”), unless, immediately following such Business Combination, each of the following two conditions is satisfied: (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the
Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting
power of the then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, respectively, of the resulting or acquiring corporation in such Business Combination (which shall include, without limitation, a corporation which as a
result of such transaction owns the Company or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (such resulting or acquiring corporation is referred to herein as the “Acquiring
Corporation”) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, respectively; and (ii) no Person
(excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) maintained or sponsored by the Company or by the Acquiring Corporation) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Acquiring
Corporation, or of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination); or

  
 (d) approval by the stockholders of the
Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
  

 1.2 “Change in Control Date” means the first date during the Term (as
defined in Section 2) on which a Change in Control occurs. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if (a) a Change in Control occurs, (b) the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated more than 60 days prior to
the date on which the Change in Control occurs, and (c) it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in
Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the “Change in Control Date” shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of
employment. 
  
 1.3 “Cause”
means: 
  
 (a) the Executive’s willful and
continued failure to substantially perform his reasonable assigned duties as an officer of the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any failure after the Executive gives notice of
termination for Good Reason), which failure is not cured within 30 days after a written demand for substantial performance is received by the Executive from the Board of Directors of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which the
Board of Directors believes the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties; or 
  
 (b) the conviction of the Executive of, or the entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo contendere by the Executive to, any crime involving
moral turpitude or any felony; or

 (d) the Executive’s willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the
Company; or 
  
 (e) any material breach by the
Executive of this Agreement or any employment agreement and related agreements with the Company, including, but not limited to, any non-competition or non-solicitation provision, which breach is not cured within 30 days after a written notice of
such breach is received by the Executive from the Board of Directors of the Company, which specifically identifies such breach. 
  
 For purposes of this Section 1.3, no act or failure to act by the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be
done, in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive has an effective employment agreement with the Company that contains a definition of “Cause” for
purposes of termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the definition of “Cause” contained in such effective employment agreement shall be used in this Agreement. 
  
 1.4 “Good Reason” means the occurrence,
without the Executive’s written consent, of any of the events or circumstances set forth in clauses (a) through (g) below. Notwithstanding the occurrence of any such event or circumstance, such occurrence shall not be 

  

 
deemed to constitute Good Reason if, prior to the Date of Termination specified in the Notice of Termination (each as defined in Section 3.2(a)) given by the
Executive in respect thereof, such event or circumstance has been fully corrected and the Executive has been reasonably compensated for any losses or damages resulting therefrom (provided that such right of correction by the Company shall only apply
to the first Notice of Termination for Good Reason given by the Executive): 
  
 (a) the assignment to the Executive of duties materially inconsistent with the Executive’s authority or responsibilities taken as a whole in effect immediately prior to the earliest to occur of (i) the Change in
Control Date, (ii) the date of the execution by the Company of the initial written agreement or instrument providing for the Change in Control or (iii) the date of the adoption by the Board of Directors of a resolution providing for the Change in
Control (with the earliest to occur of such dates referred to herein as the “Measurement Date”), or any other action or omission by the Company which results in a material diminution in such position, authority or responsibilities; or

  
 (b) a reduction in the Executive’s
annual base salary as in effect on the Measurement Date; or 
  
 (c) the failure by the Company to (i) continue in effect any material compensation or benefit plan or program (including without limitation any life insurance, medical, health and accident or disability plan and any
vacation or automobile program or policy) (a “Benefit Plan”) in which the Executive participates or which is applicable to the Executive immediately prior to the Measurement Date, unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an ongoing
substitute or alternative plan, a lump sum payment or increase in compensation) has been made with respect to such plan or program, (ii) continue the Executive’s participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on a basis not
materially less favorable, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level of the Executive’s participation relative to other participants, than the basis existing immediately prior to the Measurement Date or (iii) award cash
bonuses to the Executive in amounts and in a manner substantially consistent with past practice in light of the Company’s financial performance; or 
  
 (d) a change by the Company in the location at which the Executive performs his principal duties for the Company to a new location that is

requirements of Section 3.2(a); or 
  
 (g) any
material breach by the Company of this Agreement or any employment agreement with the Executive, which breach is not cured within 30 days after a 

  

 
written notice of such breach is received by the Company from the Executive, which specifically identifies such breach. 
  
 The Executive’s right to terminate his employment for Good Reason shall
not be affected by his incapacity due to physical or mental illness. 
  
 1.5 “Disability” means the Executive’s absence from the full-time performance of the Executive’s duties with the Company for 180 consecutive calendar days as a result of incapacity due to
mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and reasonably acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. 
  
 2. Term of Agreement. This
Agreement, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall take effect upon the Effective Date and shall expire upon the first to occur of (a) the expiration of the Term (as defined below) if a Change in Control has not occurred
during the Term, (b) the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company more than 60 days prior to the Change in Control Date, (c) the date 24 months after the Change in Control Date, if the Executive is still employed by the
Company as of such later date, or (d) the fulfillment by the Company of all of its obligations under Sections 4 and 5.2 and 5.3 if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates within the period from 60 days prior to the Change in
Control Date to 24 months following the Change in Control Date. “Term” shall mean the period commencing as of the Effective Date and continuing in effect through [this date should be tied to the termination date of the Executive’s
employment agreement with no automatic renewal]. 
  
 3.
Employment Status; Termination Following Change in Control. 
  
 3.1 Not an Employment Contract. The Executive acknowledges that this Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Company any obligation to retain the Executive as an employee and
that this Agreement does not prevent the Executive from terminating employment at any time. 
  
 3.2 Termination of Employment. 
  
 (a) If the Change in Control Date occurs during the Term, any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the
Executive within 24 months following the Change in Control Date (other than due to the death of the Executive) shall be communicated by a written notice to the other party hereto (the “Notice of Termination”), given in accordance with
Section 7. Any Notice of Termination shall: (i) indicate the specific termination provision (if any) of this Agreement relied upon by the party giving such notice, (ii) to the extent applicable, set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) specify the Date of Termination (as defined below). The effective date of an employment termination (the
“Date of Termination”) shall be the close of business on the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which date may not be less than 15 days or more than 120 days after the date of delivery of such Notice of Termination), in the case
of a termination 

  

 
other than one due to the Executive’s death, or the date of the Executive’s death, as the case may be. In the event the Company fails to satisfy
the requirements of Section 3.2(a) regarding a Notice of Termination, the purported termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to such Notice of Termination shall not be effective for purposes of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) If a Change in Control Date occurs during the 60 days
after the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company, the Company shall give the Executive notice of such Change in Control. 
  
 (c) The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a
showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting any such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s
or the Company’s rights hereunder. 
  
 (d)
Any Notice of Termination for Cause given by the Company must be given within 90 days of the discovery by the Board of the occurrence of the event(s) or circumstance(s) that constitute(s) Cause. Prior to any Notice of Termination for Cause being
given (and prior to any termination for Cause being effective), the Executive shall be entitled to a hearing before the Board of Directors of the Company at which he may, at his election, be represented by counsel and at which he shall have a
reasonable opportunity to be heard. Such hearing shall be held on not less than 15 days prior written notice to the Executive stating the Board of Directors’ intention to terminate the Executive for Cause and stating in detail the particular
event(s) or circumstance(s) which the Board of Directors believes constitutes Cause for termination. 
  
 (e) Any Notice of Termination for Good Reason given by the Executive must be given within 90 days of the discovery by the Executive of the
occurrence of the event(s) or circumstance(s) that constitute(s) Good Reason. 
  
 4. Benefits to Executive. 
  
 4.1 Stock Acceleration. If the Change in Control Date occurs during the Term, then, effective upon the Change in Control Date, (a) each outstanding option to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company held
by the Executive shall become immediately exercisable in full and shares of Common Stock of the Company received upon exercise of any options will no longer be subject to a right of repurchase by the Company, and (b) each outstanding restricted
stock award shall be deemed to be fully vested and will no longer be subject to a right of repurchase by the Company. 
  
 4.2 Compensation. If the Change in Control Date occurs during the Term and the Executive’s employment with the Company
terminates within the period from 60 days prior to the Change in Control Date to 24 months following the Change in Control Date, the Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits: 
  
 (a) Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. If
the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company (other than for Cause, Disability or death) or by the Executive for Good Reason within the period from 60 days prior to 

  

 
the Change in Control Date to 24 months following the Change in Control Date, then, subject to Section 4.2(a)(v) below, the Executive shall be entitled to
the following benefits: 
  
 (i) the Company
shall pay to the Executive in cash the aggregate of the following amounts: 
  
 (1) within 30 days after the later of the Date of Termination or the Change in Control Date, the lump sum of (A) the Executive’s unpaid base salary through the Date of Termination, (B) the product of (x) the
median annual bonus paid or payable (including any bonus or portion thereof which has been earned but deferred) for the three (3) most recently completed fiscal years and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current
fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365 and (C) the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation pay, in
each case to the extent not previously paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (A), (B), and (C) shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”); and 
  
 (2) payable in [24/18] equal monthly installments pursuant to the Company’s normal payment
practices, an amount equal to (A) [2/1.5] multiplied by (B) the sum of (x) the Executive’s annual base salary for the most recently completed fiscal year and (y) the Executive’s median annual bonus for the most recently completed
three (3) fiscal years; provided, however, that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer on a full-time basis at any time during this payment period earning total compensation (base salary and bonus) of at least ninety
percent (90%) of the total median compensation earned by the Executive for the most recently completed three (3) fiscal years, then the Company shall no longer be required to provide any of the foregoing payments set forth in this subsection (2) as
of the first date of employment with such new employer; and provided, further, if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer on a full-time basis at any time during this payment period earning total compensation (base
salary and bonus) of less than ninety percent (90%) of the total median compensation earned by the Executive for the most recently completed three (3) fiscal years, then the Company shall continue to pay the difference between ninety percent (90%)
of the foregoing payments in this subsection (2) and such new compensation with a new employer. 
  
 (ii) for [24/18] months after the later of the Date of Termination or the Change in Control Date, or such longer period as may be
provided by the terms of the appropriate plan, program, practice or policy, the Company shall continue to provide benefits to the Executive and the Executive’s family at least equal to those which would have been provided to them if the
Executive’s employment had not been terminated, in accordance with the applicable Benefit Plans in effect on the Measurement Date or, if more favorable to the Executive and his family, in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to
other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies; provided, however, that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive a particular type of benefits (e.g., health insurance
benefits) from such employer on terms at least as favorable to the Executive and his family as those being provided by the Company, then the Company shall no longer be required to provide those particular benefits to the Executive and his family;

  

 (iii) to the extent not previously paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or
provide to the Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive following the Executive’s termination of employment under any plan, program, policy, practice, contract or
agreement of the Company and its affiliated companies (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Other Benefits”); and 
  

(iv) for purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of commencement of benefits) of the Executive for retiree benefits to
which the Executive is entitled, the Executive shall be considered to have remained employed by the Company until [24/18] months after the Date of Termination. 
  
 (v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive breaches any ongoing obligation with the Company (by
way of example and not by way of limitation, any breach of a non-competition or non-solicitation provision with the Company), and such breach is not cured within 30 days of written notice of such breach received by the Executive from the Company,
then the Company shall no longer be required to provide any of the benefits set forth in this Section 4.2(a). 
  
 (b) Resignation without Good Reason; Termination for Death or Disability. If the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment
with the Company within the period from 60 days prior to the Change in Control Date to 24 months following the Change in Control Date, excluding a termination for Good Reason, or if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by
reason of the Executive’s death or Disability within the period from 60 days prior to the Change in Control Date to 24 months following the Change in Control Date, then the Company shall (i) pay the Executive (or his estate, if applicable), in
a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination, the Accrued Obligations and (ii) timely pay or provide to the Executive the Other Benefits. 
  
 (c) Termination for Cause. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment with the Company for Cause within the period
from 60 days prior to the Change in Control Date to 24 months following the Change in Control Date, then the Company shall (i) pay the Executive, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination, the sum of (A) the Executive’s
annual base salary through the Date of Termination and (B) the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the Executive, in each case to the extent not previously paid, and (ii) timely pay or provide to the Executive the Other Benefits.

  
 4.3 Taxes. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
except as set forth in Section 4.3(b), in the event that the Company undergoes a “Change in Ownership or Control” (as defined below), the Company shall not be obligated to provide to the Executive a portion of any “Contingent
Compensation Payments” (as defined below) that the Executive would otherwise be entitled to receive to the extent necessary to eliminate any “excess parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”)) for the Executive. For purposes of this Section 4.3, the Contingent Compensation Payments so eliminated shall be referred to as the “Eliminated Payments” and the aggregate 

  

 
amount (determined in accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q/A-30 or any successor provision) of the Contingent Compensation
Payments so eliminated shall be referred to as the “Eliminated Amount.” 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.3(a), no such reduction in Contingent Compensation Payments shall be made if (i) the
Eliminated Amount (computed without regard to this sentence) exceeds (ii) 110% of the aggregate present value (determined in accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q/A-31 and Q/A-32 or any successor provisions) of the amount
of any additional taxes that would be incurred by the Executive if the Eliminated Payments (determined without regard to this sentence) were paid to him (including, state and federal income taxes on the Eliminated Payments, the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code payable with respect to all of the Contingent Compensation Payments in excess of the Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code), and any withholding taxes). The override of such
reduction in Contingent Compensation Payments pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) shall be referred to as a “Section 4.3(b) Override.” For purpose of this paragraph, if any federal or state income taxes would be attributable to the receipt of
any Eliminated Payment, the amount of such taxes shall be computed by multiplying the amount of the Eliminated Payment by the maximum combined federal and state income tax rate provided by law. 
  
 (c) For purposes of this Section 4.3 the following terms
shall have the following respective meanings: 
  
 (i) “Change in Ownership or Control” shall mean a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company determined in accordance with Section
280G(b)(2) of the Code. 
  
 (ii)
“Contingent Compensation Payment” shall mean any payment (or benefit) in the nature of compensation that is made or made available (under this Agreement or otherwise) to a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c)
of the Code) and that is contingent (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) on a Change in Ownership or Control of the Company. 
  
 (d) Any payments or other benefits otherwise due to the Executive following a Change in Ownership or Control that could reasonably be
characterized (as determined by the Company) as Contingent Compensation Payments (the “Potential Payments”) shall not be made until the dates provided for in this Section 4.3(d). Within 30 days after each date on which the Executive first
becomes entitled to receive (whether or not then due) a Contingent Compensation Payment relating to such Change in Ownership or Control, the Company shall determine and notify the Executive (with reasonable detail regarding the basis for its
determinations) (i) which Potential Payments constitute Contingent Compensation Payments, (ii) the Eliminated Amount and (iii) whether the Section 4.3(b) Override is applicable. Within 30 days after delivery of such notice to the Executive, the
Executive shall deliver a response to the Company (the “Executive Response”) stating either (A) that he agrees with the Company’s determination pursuant to the preceding sentence, in which case he shall indicate, if applicable, which
Contingent Compensation Payments, or portions thereof (the aggregate amount of which, determined in accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q/A-30 or any 

  

 
successor provision, shall be equal to the Eliminated Amount), shall be treated as Eliminated Payments or (B) that he disagrees with such determination, in
which case he shall set forth (i) which Potential Payments should be characterized as Contingent Compensation Payments, (ii) the Eliminated Amount, (iii) whether the Section 4.3(b) Override is applicable, and (iv) which (if any) Contingent
Compensation Payments, or portions thereof (the aggregate amount of which, determined in accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q/A-30 or any successor provision, shall be equal to the Eliminated Amount, if any), shall be
treated as Eliminated Payments. In the event that the Executive fails to deliver an Executive Response on or before the required date, the Company’s initial determination shall be final and the Contingent Compensation Payments that shall be
treated as Eliminated Payments shall be determined by the Company in its absolute discretion. If the Executive states in the Executive Response that he agrees with the Company’s determination, the Company shall make the Potential Payments to
the Executive within three business days following delivery to the Company of the Executive Response (except for any Potential Payments which are not due to be made until after such date, which Potential Payments shall be made on the date on which
they are due). If the Executive states in the Executive Response that he disagrees with the Company’s determination, then, for a period of 60 days following delivery of the Executive Response, the Executive and the Company shall use good faith
efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within such 60-day period, such dispute shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association
then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. The Company shall, within three business days following delivery to the Company of the Executive Response, make to the Executive those Potential
Payments as to which there is no dispute between the Company and the Executive regarding whether they should be made (except for any such Potential Payments which are not due to be made until after such date, which Potential Payments shall be made
on the date on which they are due). The balance of the Potential Payments shall be made within three business days following the resolution of such dispute. Subject to the limitations contained in Sections 4.3(a) and (b) hereof, the amount of any
payments to be made to the Executive following the resolution of such dispute shall be increased by amount of the accrued interest thereon computed at the prime rate announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A., compounded monthly from the date
that such payments originally were due. 
  
 (e)
The provisions of this Section 4.3 are intended to apply to any and all payments or benefits available to the Executive under this Agreement or any other agreement or plan of the Company under which the Executive receives Contingent Compensation
Payments. 
  
 4.4 Mitigation. The
Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefits provided for in this Section 4 by seeking other employment or otherwise; provided, however, as provided in Section 4.2 above, the amount of any payment or benefits
provided for in this Section 4 may be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer as specifically set forth herein. 
  

 5. Disputes. 
  
 5.1 Settlement of Disputes; Arbitration. All claims by the Executive for benefits under this
Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Board of Directors of a claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing and
shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon. The Board of Directors shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a review of the decision denying a claim. Any further
dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be
entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. 
  
 5.2 Expenses. The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal, accounting and other fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any claim or
contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company, the Executive or others regarding the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of
any contest by the Executive regarding the amount of any payment or benefits pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code. 

 
 5.3 Compensation During a Dispute. If the Change
in Control Date occurs during the Term and the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates within the period from 60 days prior to the Change in Control Date to 24 months following the Change in Control Date, and the right of the
Executive to receive benefits under Section 4 (or the amount or nature of the benefits to which he is entitled to receive) are the subject of a dispute between the Company and the Executive, the Company shall continue (a) to pay to the Executive his
base salary in effect as of the Measurement Date and (b) to provide benefits to the Executive and the Executive’s family at least equal to those which would have been provided to them, if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated,
in accordance with the applicable Benefit Plans in effect on the Measurement Date, until such dispute is resolved either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by an arbitrator’s award pursuant to Section 5.1. Following the resolution of
such dispute, the sum of the payments made to the Executive under clause (a) of this Section 5.3 shall be deducted from any cash payment which the Executive is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4; and if such sum exceeds the amount of the cash
payment which the Executive is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4, the excess of such sum over the amount of such payment shall be repaid (without interest) by the Executive to the Company within 60 days of the resolution of such dispute.

  
 6. Successors. 
  
 6.1 Successor to Company. The Company shall require
any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall
constitute Good Reason if the Executive elects to terminate employment, except that 

  

 
for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this
Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as defined above and any successor to its business or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise. 
  
 6.2 Successor to Executive. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amount would still be
payable to the Executive or his family hereunder if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or
administrators of the Executive’s estate. 
  
 7.
Notice. All notices, instructions and other communications given hereunder or in connection herewith shall be in writing. Any such notice, instruction or communication shall be sent either (i) by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, or (ii) prepaid via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, in each case addressed to the Company, at 826 Newtown-Yardley Road, Newtown, Pennsylvania 18940, and to the Executive at the Executive’s address
indicated on the signature page of this Agreement (or to such other address as either the Company or the Executive may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith). Any such notice, instruction or communication shall be deemed to
have been delivered five business days after it is sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or one business day after it is sent via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service. Either party may give any
notice, instruction or other communication hereunder using any other means, but no such notice, instruction or other communication shall be deemed to have been duly delivered unless and until it actually is received by the party for whom it is
intended. 
  
 8. Miscellaneous. 
  
 8.1 Employment by Subsidiary. For purposes of this
Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall not be deemed to have terminated solely as a result of the Executive continuing to be employed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. 
  
 8.2 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability
of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
  
 8.3 Injunctive Relief. The Company and the Executive agree that any breach of this Agreement by the
Company is likely to cause the Executive substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, the Executive shall have the right to specific performance and
injunctive relief. 
  
 8.4 Governing Law.
The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflicts of law principles. 
  

 8.5 Waivers. No waiver by the Executive at any time of any breach of, or
compliance with, any provision of this Agreement to be performed by the Company shall be deemed a waiver of that or any other provision at any subsequent time. 
  

8.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but both of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  
 8.7 Tax Withholding. Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable tax withholding required under federal, state or local law. 
  
 8.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the
entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer,
employee or representative of any party hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein; and any prior agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein is hereby terminated and cancelled. 
  
 8.9 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or
modified only by a written instrument executed by both the Company and the Executive. 
  
 8.10 Executive’s Acknowledgements. The Executive acknowledges that he: (a) has read this Agreement; (b) has been represented
in the preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of the Executive’s own choice or has voluntarily declined to seek such counsel; (c) understands the terms and consequences of this Agreement; and (d) understands
that the law firm of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP is acting as counsel to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and is not acting as counsel for the Executive.

 SECTION 2 COMMITMENTS OF THE LENDERS; BORROWING, CONVERSION AND LETTER OF CREDIT PROCEDURES. 

 
 2.1 Commitments. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, each of the Lenders, severally and for itself alone, agrees to make loans to, and to issue or participate in letters of credit for the account of, the Company as follows: 
  
 2.1.1 Revolving Loan Commitment. Each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment agrees to make loans on
a revolving basis (“Revolving Loans”) from time to time until the Termination Date in such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such aggregate amounts as the Company may request from all Lenders; provided that the Revolving
Outstandings will not at any time exceed Revolving Loan Availability (less the amount of any Swing Line Loans outstanding at such time). Payments and prepayments that are applied to reduce the outstanding Revolving Loans may be re-borrowed through
additional Revolving Loans; the parties hereto acknowledging that they contemplate that there will be a series of advances, payments and readvances hereunder subject to the limitations contained herein and, as applicable, contained in any Mortgage.

  
 2.1.2 Increase in Revolving
Commitment. The Company may, at its option at any time and from time to time before the Termination Date, on no more than three occasions, seek to increase the Aggregate Commitments by up to an aggregate amount not exceeding $50,000,000
(resulting in maximum Revolving Commitment of $180,000,000) upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such incremental increase (which shall not be less than $5,000,000) and shall be delivered at a
time when no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Administrative Agent, subject to the consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, may allocate the incremental increase (which may
be declined by any Lender in its sole discretion) in the Revolving Commitment on either a ratable basis to the Lenders or on a non pro-rata basis to one or more Lenders and/or to other banks or entities reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the Company which have expressed a desire to accept the increase in Revolving Commitment. The Administrative Agent will then notify each existing and potentially new Lender of such revised allocations of the Revolving Commitment, including
the desired increase. No increase in the Revolving Commitment shall become effective until each of the existing or new Lenders extending such incremental Revolving Commitment and the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a
document in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which any such existing Lender states the amount of its Revolving Commitment increase, any such new Lender states its Revolving Commitment amount and agrees to assume
and accept the obligations and rights of a Lender hereunder, and the Company accepts such new Commitments, as well as the delivery of such other documents (including, if reasonably necessary, date downs to any title insurance policies), notes, and
agreements as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. After giving effect to such increase in Revolving Commitment, all Loans and all such other credit exposure
shall be held ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments, as revised to accommodate the increase in the Revolving Commitment. Upon any increase in Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section, the Company shall pay
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of only the Lenders (including any new Lender) whose Revolving Commitment are increased an upfront fee equal in 

  

 21 

 
an amount equal to what is mutually agreed to among the Company, the Lenders whose Revolving Commitments are increased and the Administrative Agent.

  
 2.1.3 Term Loan Commitment. Each
Lender with a Term Loan Commitment agrees to make a loan to the Company (each such loan, a “Term Loan”) on the Closing Date in such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment. The Commitments of the Lenders to make
Term Loans shall expire concurrently with the making of the Term Loans on the Closing Date. 
  
 2.1.4 L/C Commitment. Subject to Section 2.3.1, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue letters of credit (including, without
limitation, standby letters of credit and trade letters of credit), in each case containing such terms and conditions as are permitted by this Agreement and are reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (each, a “Letter of
Credit”), at the request of and for the account of the Company from time to time before the scheduled Termination Date and, as more fully set forth in Section 2.3.2, each Lender agrees to purchase a participation in each such Letter
of Credit; provided that (a) the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed $15,000,000.00, and (b) the Revolving Outstandings shall not at any time exceed Revolving Loan Availability (less the amount of any
Swing Line Loans outstanding at such time).

Procedures. 
  
 2.2.1 Various Types of
Loans. Each Revolving Loan shall be, and each Term Loan may be divided into tranches which are, either a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan (each a “type” of Loan), as the Company shall specify in the related notice of borrowing or
conversion pursuant to Section 2.2.2 or 2.2.3. LIBOR Loans having the same Interest Period which expire on the same day are sometimes called a “Group” or collectively “Groups”. Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans
may be outstanding at the same time, provided that not more than five (5) different Groups of LIBOR Loans shall be outstanding at any one time. All borrowings, conversions and repayments of Revolving Loans shall be effected so that each
Lender will have a ratable share (according to its Pro Rata Share) of all types and Groups of Loans. 
  
 2.2.2 Borrowing Procedures. The Company shall give written notice (each such written notice, a “Notice of
Borrowing”) substantially in the form of Exhibit D or telephonic notice (followed immediately by a Notice of Borrowing) to the Administrative Agent of each proposed borrowing not later than (a) in the case of a Base Rate borrowing,

office specified by the Administrative Agent with immediately available funds covering such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such borrowing and, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set
forth in SECTION 12 with respect to such borrowing have not 

  

 22 

 
been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall pay over the funds received by the Administrative Agent to the Company on the requested borrowing date. Each
borrowing shall be on a Business Day. Each Base Rate borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $500,000.00 and an integral multiple of $500,000.00, and each LIBOR borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $1,000,000.00 and an
integral multiple of at least $1,000,000.00.

 provided that after giving effect to any prepayment, conversion or continuation, the aggregate principal amount of each Group of LIBOR Loans shall be at least
$1,000,000.00 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00. 
  
 (b)
The Company shall give written notice (each such written notice, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit E or telephonic notice (followed immediately by a Notice of Conversion/Continuation)
to the Administrative Agent of each proposed conversion or continuation not later than (i) in the case of conversion into Base Rate Loans, 11:00 A.M., Chicago time, on the proposed date of such conversion and (ii) in the case of conversion into or
continuation of LIBOR Loans, 11:00 A.M., Chicago time, at least three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such conversion or continuation, specifying in each case:

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

 23 

 (d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a notice of conversion or
continuation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 or, if no timely notice is provided by the Company, of the details of any automatic conversion. 
  
 (e) Any conversion of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall be subject to Section 8.4.

  
 2.2.4 Swing Line Facility. 

 
 (a) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Swing Line Lender upon the
Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Notice of Borrowing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender may, in its sole discretion, make available from time to time until the Termination Date advances (each, a
“Swing Line Loan”) in accordance with any such notice, notwithstanding that after making a requested Swing Line Loan, the sum of the Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Outstanding and all outstanding Swing Line
Loans, may exceed the Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment. The provisions of this Section 2.2.4 shall not relieve Lenders of their obligations to make Revolving Loans under Section 2.1.1; provided
that if the Swing Line Lender makes a Swing Line Loan pursuant to any such notice, such Swing Line Loan shall be in lieu of any Revolving Loan that otherwise may be made by the Lenders pursuant to such notice. The aggregate amount of Swing Line
Loans outstanding shall not exceed at any time Swing Line Availability. Until the Termination Date, the Company may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 2.2.4. Each Swing Line Loan shall be made pursuant to a Notice
of Borrowing delivered by the Company to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2.2. Any such notice must be given no later than 2:00 P.M., Chicago time, on the Business Day of the proposed Swing Line Loan. Unless the Swing
Line Lender has received at least one Business Day’s prior written notice from the Required Lenders instructing it not to make a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender shall, notwithstanding the failure of any condition precedent set forth in
Section 12.2, be entitled to fund that Swing Line Loan, and to have such Lender make Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.2.4(c) or purchase participating interests in accordance with Section 2.2.4(d). Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each Swing Line Loan shall constitute a Base Rate Loan. The Company shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Loan upon demand therefor by the
Administrative Agent. 
  
 (b) The entire unpaid balance of each
Swing Line Loan and all other noncontingent Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Termination Date if not sooner paid in full. 
  
 (c) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time, but no less frequently than once weekly, shall on behalf of
the Company (and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so act on its behalf) request each Lender with a Revolving Commitment (including the Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Loan to the Company (which shall be a
Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of all Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loan”) outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless any of the events
described in Section 13.1.4 has occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 2.2.4(d) shall apply) and regardless of whether the 

  

 24 

 
conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a Revolving Loan are then satisfied, each Lender shall disburse directly to the
Administrative Agent, its Pro Rata Share on behalf of the Swing Line Lender, prior to 2:00 P.M., Chicago time, in immediately available funds on the date that notice is given (provided that such notice is given by 12:00 p.m., Chicago time, on
such date). The proceeds of those Revolving Loans shall be immediately paid to the Swing Line Lender and applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loan. 
  
 (d) If, prior to refunding a Swing Line Loan with a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.2.4(c), one of the events described in Section
13.1.4 has occurred, then, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2.4(e) below, each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made for the benefit of the Company, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an undivided
participation interest in the Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan. Upon request, each Lender shall promptly transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its
participation interest. 
  
 (e) Each Lender’s obligation to
make Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.2.4(c) and to purchase participation interests in accordance with Section 2.2.4(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Unmatured Event of Default or
Event of Default; (iii) any inability of the Company to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time, or (iv) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, by 2:00 P.M., Chicago time, the amount required pursuant to Sections 2.2.4(c) or
2.2.4(d), as the case may be, on the Business Day on which such Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent of such payment or disbursement (it being understood that any such notice received after noon, Chicago time, on any Business
Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day), such Lender agrees to pay interest on such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Swing Line Lender’s account forthwith on demand, for each day from the date
such amount was to have been delivered to the Administrative Agent to the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to (a) for the first three days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and (b) thereafter, the
Base Rate from time to time in effect. 
  
 2.3 Letter of Credit
Procedures. 
  
 2.3.1 L/C
Applications. The Company shall execute and deliver to the Issuing Lender the Master Letter of Credit Agreement from time to time in effect. The Company shall give notice to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender of the proposed
issuance of each Letter of Credit on a Business Day which is at least three Business Days (or such lesser number of days as the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender shall agree in any particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the
proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each such notice shall be accompanied by an L/C Application, duly executed by the Company and in all respects satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, together with such
other documentation as the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender may request in 

  

 25 

 
support thereof, it being understood that each L/C Application shall specify, among other things, the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be
issued, the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (which shall not be later than the scheduled Termination Date (unless such Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized no less than forty five (45) days prior to the Termination Date)) and whether
such Letter of Credit is to be transferable in whole or in part. Any Letter of Credit outstanding after the scheduled Termination Date which is Cash Collateralized for the benefit of the Issuing Lender shall be the sole responsibility of the Issuing
Lender. So long as the Issuing Lender has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 12 with respect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit have not been satisfied, the Issuing Lender shall issue such
Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date. The Issuing Lender shall promptly advise the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit and of any amendment thereto, extension thereof or event or circumstance changing the amount
available for drawing thereunder. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Master Letter of Credit Agreement, any L/C Application and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 
  
 2.3.2 Participations in Letters of Credit.
Concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment, and each such Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have
purchased and received from the Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, in such Letter of Credit and the Company’s reimbursement obligations with
respect thereto. If the Company does not pay any reimbursement obligation when due, the Company shall be deemed to have immediately requested that the Lenders make a Revolving Loan which is a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount equal to such
reimbursement obligations. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify such Lenders of such deemed request and, without the necessity of compliance with the requirements of Section 2.2.2, Section 12.2 or otherwise such Lender shall
make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of such Loan. The proceeds of such Loan shall be paid over by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender for the account of the Company in satisfaction of such reimbursement
obligations. For the purposes of this Agreement, the unparticipated portion of each Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Issuing Lender’s “participation” therein. The Issuing Lender hereby agrees, upon request of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, to deliver to the Administrative Agent or such Lender a list of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, together with such information related thereto as the Administrative Agent or such
Lender may reasonably request. 
  
 2.3.3
Reimbursement Obligations. (a) The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender for each payment or disbursement made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit honoring any demand for payment
made by the beneficiary thereunder, in each case on the date that such payment or disbursement is made. Any amount not reimbursed on the date of such payment or disbursement shall bear interest from the date of such payment or disbursement to the
date that the Issuing Lender is reimbursed by the Company therefor, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Base Rate Margin from time to time in effect plus, beginning on the
third Business Day after receipt of notice from the Issuing Lender of such payment or disbursement, 2%. The Issuing Lender shall notify the Company and the Administrative Agent whenever any demand for payment is made under any Letter of Credit by

  

 26 

 
the beneficiary thereunder; provided that the failure of the Issuing Lender to so notify the Company or the Administrative Agent shall not affect the
rights of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders in any manner whatsoever. 
  
 (b) The Company’s reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be irrevocable and unconditional under all circumstances, including (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, (b) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which any Loan Party may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom
any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated herein or any
unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between any Loan Party and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit), (c) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any document which the Issuing Lender has determined complies on
its face with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, even if such document should later prove to have been forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein shall have been untrue or inaccurate in any
respect, or (d) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, no action or omission whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (excluding any
Lender in its capacity as the Issuing Lender) under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or any related matters shall result in any liability of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the Company, or relieve the Company of any of its
obligations hereunder to any such Person; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to relieve any Lender of any liability arising out of or relating to its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a
non-appealable ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction). 
  
 2.3.4 Funding by Lenders to Issuing Lender. If the Issuing Lender makes any payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit and (a) the Company has not reimbursed the Issuing Lender in full for such payment
or disbursement by 11:00 A.M., Chicago time, on the date of such payment or disbursement, (b) a Revolving Loan may not be made in accordance with this Agreement, or (c) any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender from the Company is or must be
returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, each other Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, in
full or partial payment of the purchase price of its participation in such Letter of Credit, its Pro Rata Share of such payment or disbursement (but no such payment shall diminish the obligations of the Company under Section 2.3.3), and, upon
notice from the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each other Lender thereof. Each other Lender irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to so pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the Issuing
Lender’s account the amount of such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment or disbursement. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent by 2:00 P.M., Chicago time, on the
Business Day on which such Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent of such payment or disbursement (it being understood that any such notice received after noon, Chicago time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on
the next following Business Day), such Lender agrees to pay interest on such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Issuing 

  

 27 

 
Lender’s account forthwith on demand, for each day from the date such amount was to have been delivered to the Administrative Agent to the date such
amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to (a) for the first three days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and (b) thereafter, the Base Rate from time to time in effect. Any Lender’s failure to make available to
the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment, but
no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement. 
  
 2.4 Commitments Several. The failure of any Lender to make a requested
Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any) to make a Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by such other Lender. 
  
 2.5 Certain Conditions. Except as otherwise provided in Sections
2.2.4 and 2.3.4 of this Agreement, no Lender shall have an obligation to make any Loan, or to permit the continuation of or any conversion into any LIBOR Loan, and the Issuing Lender shall not have any obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit, if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists. 
  
 SECTION 3 EVIDENCING OF LOANS. 
  
 3.1 Notes. The
Loans of each Lender shall be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to the order of such Lender in a face principal amount equal to the sum of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment plus the principal amount of such
Lender’s Term Loans. 
  
 3.2 Recordkeeping. The
Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Lender, shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Loan made by each Lender, each repayment or conversion thereof and, in the case of each LIBOR Loan, the dates on which each Interest Period for
such Loan shall begin and end. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal amount of the Loans owing and unpaid. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording
any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of the Company hereunder or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans hereunder, together with all interest accruing thereon. 
  
 SECTION 4 INTEREST. 
  
 4.1 Interest Rates. The Company promises to pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full as follows: 
  
 (a) at all times while such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Base Rate
Margin from time to time in effect; and 
  

 28 

 (b) at all times while such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate
applicable to each Interest Period for such Loan plus the LIBOR Margin from time to time in effect; 
  
 provided that at any time an Event of Default exists, unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent, the interest rate applicable to each Loan shall be increased by 2% per annum (and, in the case of Obligations
not bearing interest, such Obligations shall bear interest at the Base Rate applicable to Revolving Loans plus 2% per annum), provided further that such increase may thereafter be rescinded by the Required Lenders, notwithstanding
Section 15.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 13.1.1 or 13.1.4, such increase shall occur automatically.  
  
 4.2 Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan
shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and at maturity. Accrued interest on each LIBOR Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period relating to such Loan, upon a prepayment of such Loan, and at
maturity. After maturity, and at any time an Event of Default exists, accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on demand. 
  
 4.3 Setting and Notice of LIBOR Rates. The applicable LIBOR Rate for each Interest Period shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and
notice thereof shall be given by the Administrative Agent promptly to the Company and each Lender. Each determination of the applicable LIBOR Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of
demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall, upon written request of the Company or any Lender, deliver to the Company or such Lender a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any applicable LIBOR
Rate hereunder. 
  
 4.4 Computation of Interest. Interest
shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days. The applicable interest rate for each Base Rate Loan shall change simultaneously with each change in the Base Rate. 
  
 SECTION 5 FEES. 
  
 5.1 Non-Use Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a non-use fee,
for the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date, by applying the Non-Use Fee Rate in effect from time to time to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (as adjusted from time to time) of the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment. For
purposes of calculating usage under this Section, the Revolving Commitment shall be deemed used to the extent of Revolving Outstandings. Such non-use fee shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination
Date for any period then ending for which such non-use fee shall not have previously been paid. The non-use fee shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days. 
  
 5.2 Letter of Credit Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a letter of credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the Standby L/C Fee Rate (for standby letters of credit) and the Trade L/C Fee Rate (for trade letters of credit) as the case may be, in
effect from time to time of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (as 

  

 29 

 
adjusted from time to time) of the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit (computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360
days); provided that, unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent, the rate applicable to each Letter of Credit shall be increased by 2% at any time that an Event of Default exists. Such letter of credit fees shall be payable in arrears on
the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date (or such later date on which such Letter of Credit expires or is terminated) for the period from the date of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (or the last day on which the letter
of credit fee was paid with respect thereto) to the date such payment is due or, if earlier, the date on which such Letter of Credit expired or was terminated. 
  

(b) In addition, with respect to each Letter of Credit, the Company agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender, for its own account, (i) such fees and
expenses as the Issuing Lender customarily requires in connection with the issuance, negotiation, processing and/or administration of letters of credit in similar situations, and (ii) at the time of issuance of any Letter of Credit, a letter of
credit fronting fee in the amount equal to 0.125% of the face amount of each such Letter of Credit. 
  
 5.3 Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such agent’s fees as are mutually agreed to from
time to time by the Company and the Administrative Agent, including the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter. 
  
 SECTION 6 REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE REVOLVING COMMITMENT; PREPAYMENTS. 
  
 6.1 Reduction or Termination of the Revolving Commitment. 
  
 6.1.1 Voluntary Reduction or Termination of the Revolving
Commitment. The Company may from time to time on at least five Business Days’ prior written notice received by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) permanently reduce the Revolving Commitment to an
amount not less than the Revolving Outstandings plus the outstanding amount of all Swing Line Loans. Any such reduction shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of 5,000,000. Concurrently with any reduction
of the Revolving Commitment to zero, the Company shall pay all interest on the Revolving Loans, all non-use fees and all letter of credit fees and shall Cash Collateralize in full all obligations arising with respect to the Letters of Credit.

  
 6.1.2 All Reductions of the Revolving
Commitment. All reductions of the Revolving Commitment shall reduce the Commitments ratably among the Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
  

6.2 Prepayments. 
  
 6.2.1 Voluntary Prepayments. The Company may from time to time prepay the Loans in whole or in part; provided that the
Company shall give the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender) notice thereof not later than 11:00 A.M., Chicago time, on the day of such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), specifying the Loans to be prepaid and the
date and amount of prepayment. Any such partial prepayment shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000.00 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000.00. 
  

 30 

 6.2.2 Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 (a) The Company shall make a prepayment of the Term Loan (applied as set
forth in Section 6.3.1, except with respect to Insurance Proceeds on personal property which such Insurance Proceeds shall be applied to the Revolving Loan or except as set forth in Sections 6.3.2 and 6.3.3 or below), until paid in full upon
the occurrence of any of the following (each a “Mandatory Prepayment Event”) at the following times and in the following amounts (such applicable amounts being referred to as “Designated Proceeds”) unless an Event
of Default or Unmatured Event of Default is then existing, in which case the provisions of the Collateral and Guaranty Agreement shall be applicable: 
  

	 	(i)	Concurrently with the receipt by any Loan Party of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition (except with respect to an Asset Disposition described in clause (a) of the
definition thereof, instead of concurrently, such time period will be 180 days as described in such clause), in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. 

  

	 	(ii)	Concurrently with the receipt by any Loan Party of any Net Cash Proceeds from any issuance of Capital Securities of any Loan Party (excluding (x) any issuance of Capital Securities
pursuant to any employee or director option program, benefit plan or compensation program, (y) any issuance by a Subsidiary to the Company or another Subsidiary and (z) any Possible Issuance unless the Acquisition subject thereto is not closed
within 180 days following the closing of the Possible Issuance), in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. 

  

	 	(iii)	Concurrently with the receipt by any Loan Party of any Net Cash Proceeds from any issuance of any Debt of any Loan Party (excluding Debt permitted by clauses (a) through
(g) and (i) of Section 11.1), in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. 

  

	 	(iv)	All Insurance Proceeds regarding Real Estate Collateral, in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate per calendar year shall, upon receipt, be paid to Administrative Agent for
application to the Revolving Loans; provided, however, if, within 180 days after such receipt, Company has not expended, or committed to expend, some or all of such Insurance Proceeds, then the Insurance Proceeds that have not been expended or
committed to be so expended by the 180th day after receipt shall be applied to the Term Loans as set forth herein with a corresponding increase to the Revolving Loans. 

  
 (b) If on any day on which the Revolving Commitment is reduced pursuant to Section 6.1.1, the Revolving Outstandings
plus the outstanding amount of the Swing Line Loan exceeds the Revolving Commitment, the Company shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans or Cash Collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit, or do a combination of the foregoing, in an
amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 
  

 31 

 6.3 Manner of Prepayments. 
  
 6.3.1 All Prepayments. Each voluntary partial prepayment shall be in a principal amount of
$1,000,000.00 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000.00. Any partial prepayment of a Group of LIBOR Loans shall be subject to the proviso to Section 2.2.3(a). Any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest
Period therefor shall include interest on the principal amount being repaid and shall be subject to Section 8.4. Subject to Sections 6.3.2 and 6.3.3, all prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied pro rata among all remaining scheduled
installments of the Term Loans according to the principal amounts thereof. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, all principal payments in respect of the Loans (other than the Swing Line Loans) shall be applied first, to repay
outstanding Base Rate Loans and then to repay outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. 
  
 6.3.2 Permitted Sale. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2.2, the Net Cash Proceeds from each Permitted Sale shall be
applied to the Revolving Loans. 
  
 6.3.3 Sale

Loan Party shall be applied to the Revolving Loans, and twenty-five percent (25%) of the Net Cash Proceeds from each issuance of Capital Securities by a Loan Party shall be applied to the Term Loans as otherwise provided in Section 6.3.1.

  
 6.4 Repayments. 
  
 6.4.1 Revolving Loans. The Revolving Loans of each
Lender shall be paid in full and the Revolving Commitment shall terminate on the Termination Date. 
  
 6.4.2 Term Loans. The Term Loan of each Lender shall be paid in installments equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
aggregate principal amount of the installments of the Term Loan as follows: 
  

				
	 Payment Date

	  	Amount

	 December 31, 2004, and each March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 thereafter
	  	$	1,071,428.57

  
 Unless sooner paid in

 SECTION 7 MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SETOFF; TAXES. 
  
 7.1 Making of Payments. All payments of principal or interest on the Notes, and of all fees, shall be made by the Company to the Administrative
Agent in immediately available funds at the office specified by the Administrative Agent not later than noon, Chicago time, on 

  

 32 

 
the date due; and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the following Business Day. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its share of all such payments received in collected funds by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. All payments under Section 8.1 shall be made by the Company
directly to the Lender entitled thereto without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. 
  
 7.2 Application of Certain Payments. So long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (a) payments matching specific scheduled payments then due shall be applied to
those scheduled payments and (b) voluntary and mandatory prepayments shall be applied as set forth in Sections 6.2 and 6.3. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, all
amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as proceeds from the sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral and the Real Estate Collateral shall be applied as the Administrative Agent shall
determine in its discretion in a manner substantially consistent with that provided in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement or, in the absence of a specific determination by the Administrative Agent, as set forth in the Guaranty and Collateral
Agreement. Concurrently with each remittance to any Lender of its share of any such payment, the Administrative Agent shall advise such Lender as to the application of such payment. 
  
 7.3 Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees,
falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, such immediately following Business Day is the first Business Day of a calendar
month, in which case such due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and, in the case of principal, additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension. 
  
 7.4 Setoff. The Company agrees for itself and each other Loan Party
that the Administrative Agent and each Lender have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, the Company, for itself and each other Loan Party, agrees that at any time any Event of Default
exists, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may apply to the payment of any Obligations of the Company and each other Loan Party hereunder, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Company and
each other Loan Party then or thereafter with the Administrative Agent or such Lender. 
  
 7.5 Proration of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery, whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise, on account of (a) principal of or interest on any
Loan, but excluding (i) any payment pursuant to Section 8.7 or 15.6 and (ii) payments of interest on any Affected Loan, or (b) its participation in any Letter of Credit, in excess of its applicable Pro Rata Share of payments and other
recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on the Loans (or such participation) then held by them, then such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans (or sub-participations in
Letters of Credit) held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is
thereafter recovered from such 

  

 33 

 
purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery. 
  
 7.6 Taxes. 
  
 (a) All payments made by the Company hereunder or under any Loan Documents
shall be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all payments hereunder or under the Loan Documents (including any payment of principal, interest, or fees) to, or for the benefit, of any person
shall be made by the Company free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for, or account of, any Taxes now or hereinafter imposed by any taxing authority. 
  
 (b) If the Company makes any payment hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of which it is required by applicable
law to deduct or withhold any Taxes, the Company shall increase the payment hereunder or under any such Loan Document such that after the reduction for the amount of Taxes withheld (and any taxes withheld or imposed with respect to the additional
payments required under this Section 7.6(b)), the amount paid to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent equals the amount that was payable hereunder or under any such Loan Document without regard to this Section 7.6(b). To the extent
the Company withholds any Taxes on payments hereunder or under any Loan Document, the Company shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority within the time allowed for payment under applicable law and shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent within 30 days after it has made payment to such authority a receipt issued by such authority (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) evidencing the payment of all amounts so required to be
deducted or withheld from such payment. 
  
 (c) If any Lender or
the Administrative Agent is required by law to make any payments of any Taxes on or in relation to any amounts received or receivable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or any Tax is assessed against a Lender or the Administrative Agent
with respect to amounts received or receivable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Company will indemnify such person against (i) such Tax (and any reasonable counsel fees and expenses associated with such Tax) and (ii) any taxes imposed
as a result of the receipt of the payment under this Section 7.6(c). A certificate prepared in good faith as to the amount of such payment by such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive, and
binding on all parties. 
  
 (d) (i) To the extent permitted by
applicable law, each Lender that is not a United States person within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30) (a “Non-U.S. Participant”) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (or
in the case of a Lender that is an Assignee, on the date of such assignment to such Lender) two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (or any successor or other applicable form prescribed by the IRS)
certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from, or a reduced rate in, United States withholding tax on interest payments to be made hereunder or any Loan. If a Lender that is a Non-U.S. Participant is claiming a complete
exemption from withholding on interest pursuant to Code Sections 871(h) or 881(c), the Lender shall deliver (along with two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN) a certificate in form and substance reasonably acceptable to

  

 34 

 
Administrative Agent (any such certificate, a “Withholding Certificate”). In addition, each Lender that is a Non-U.S. Participant agrees
that from time to time after the Closing Date, (or in the case of a Lender that is an Assignee, after the date of the assignment to such Lender), when a lapse in time (or change in circumstances occurs) renders the prior certificates hereunder
obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Lender shall, to the extent permitted under applicable law, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two new and accurate and complete original signed copies of an IRS Form W-8BEN,
W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (or any successor or other applicable forms prescribed by the IRS), and if applicable, a new Withholding Certificate, to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender or the Administrative Agent to an exemption from, or
reduction in, United States withholding tax on interest payments to be made hereunder or any Loan. 
  
 (ii) Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Participant (other than any such Lender which is taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes)
shall provide two properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor or other applicable form) to the Company and the Administrative Agent certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States backup withholding tax. To
the extent that a form provided pursuant to this Section 7.6(d)(ii) is rendered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respects as result of change in circumstances with respect to the status of a Lender, such Lender shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent revised forms necessary to confirm or establish the entitlement to such Lender’s or Agent’s exemption from United States backup withholding tax. 

 
 (iii) The Company shall not be required to pay additional amounts to a
Lender, or indemnify any Lender, under this Section 7.6 to the extent that such obligations would not have arisen but for the failure of such Lender to comply with Section 7.6(d). 
  
 (iv) Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and hold the
Administrative Agent harmless for the full amount of any and all present or future Taxes and related liabilities (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses, and any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent under this Section 7.6) which are imposed on or with respect to principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender hereunder and which are not paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.6, whether or not such
Taxes or related liabilities were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor. 
  
 SECTION 8 INCREASED COSTS; SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR LIBOR LOANS. 
  
 8.1 Increased Costs. (a) If, after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law, rule or regulation by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by
any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB, but
excluding any reserve included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate pursuant to SECTION 4), special deposit or similar 

  

 35 

 
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any Lender; or (ii) shall impose on any Lender any other condition
affecting its LIBOR Loans, its Note or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans; and the result of anything described in clauses (i) and (ii) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) such Lender (or any LIBOR Office of such Lender) of
making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its LIBOR Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, then upon demand by such Lender (which demand shall be
accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay directly to such Lender such
additional amount as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is 180 days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor. 
  
 (b) If any Lender shall reasonably determine that any change in, or the
adoption or phase-in of, any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit to a level
below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such change, adoption, phase-in or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of
the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction so
long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is 180 days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor. 
  
 8.2 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If: 
  
 (a) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on the Company) that
by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate; or 
  
 (b) the Required Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of maintaining or funding LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period (taking into account any amount to which such Lenders may be entitled under Section 8.1) or that the making or funding of LIBOR Loans has become
impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in the opinion of such Lenders materially affects such Loans; 

  

 36 

 
then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) no Lender shall
be under any obligation to make or convert any Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans and (ii) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan, such Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.

  
 8.3 Changes in Law Rendering LIBOR Loans Unlawful. If
any change in, or the adoption of any new, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation of any applicable law or regulation by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, should make it (or in the
good faith judgment of any Lender cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, then such Lender shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto and, so long as such
circumstances shall continue, (a) such Lender shall have no obligation to make or convert any Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan (but shall make Base Rate Loans concurrently with the making of or conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans by the
Lenders which are not so affected, in each case in an amount equal to the amount of LIBOR Loans which would be made or converted into by such Lender at such time in the absence of such circumstances) and (b) on the last day of the current Interest
Period for each LIBOR Loan of such Lender (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), such LIBOR Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.
Each Base Rate Loan made by a Lender which, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a LIBOR Loan (an “Affected Loan”) shall remain outstanding for the period corresponding to the Group of LIBOR Loans
of which such Affected Loan would be a part absent such circumstances. 
  
 8.4 Funding Losses. The Company hereby agrees that upon demand by any Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the amount being claimed, a copy of which shall be furnished to the
Administrative Agent), the Company will indemnify such Lender against any net loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (including any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan but excluding loss of the LIBOR Margin), as reasonably determined by such Lender, as a result of (a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Loan of such Lender on a date other
than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan (including any conversion pursuant to Section 8.3) or (b) any failure of the Company to borrow, convert or continue any Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice of borrowing,
conversion or continuation pursuant to this Agreement. For this purpose, all notices of borrowing, conversion or continuation to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be irrevocable. 
  
 8.5 Right of Lenders to Fund through Other Offices. Each Lender may,
if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any LIBOR Loan by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement such Loan shall be deemed to have been made
by such Lender and the obligation of the Company to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or Affiliate. 
  

 37 

 8.6 Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be
made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the
LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period. 
  
 8.7 Mitigation of
Circumstances; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Each Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and
not, in such Lender’s sole judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by the Company to pay any amount pursuant to Section 7.6 or 8.1 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstances
described in Section 8.2 or 8.3 (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Company and the
Administrative Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender will designate a different funding office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to the Company of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and such designation
will not, in such Lender’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
  
 (b) If the Company becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Section 7.6 or 8.1, or any Lender gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in Section
8.2 or 8.3, the Company may designate another bank which is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender in their reasonable discretion (such other bank being called a “Replacement Lender”) to purchase
the Loans of such Lender and such Lender’s rights hereunder, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Lender plus any accrued but
unpaid interest on such Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Lender and any other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and to assume all the obligations of such Lender hereunder, and, upon such purchase and assumption
(pursuant to an Assignment Agreement), such Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Lender prior to the date of such purchase and
assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to the Company hereunder, and the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder. 
  
 8.8 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to
Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, or 8.4 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Lenders may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 8.1 and 8.4, and the
provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Obligations, cancellation of any Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and termination of this Agreement. 
  

 38 

 SECTION 9 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. 
  
 To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make Loans and
issue and participate in Letters of Credit hereunder, the Company represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that: 
  
 9.1 Organization. Each Loan Party is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; and each Loan Party
is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where, because of the nature of its activities or properties, such qualification is required, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
  
 9.2 Authorization; No Conflict. Each Loan Party
is duly authorized to execute and deliver each Loan Document to which it is a party, the Company is duly authorized to borrow monies hereunder and each Loan Party is duly authorized to perform its Obligations under each Loan Document to which it is
a party. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which it is a party, and the borrowings by the Company hereunder, do not and will not (a) require any consent or approval of any governmental agency or
authority (other than any consent or approval which has been obtained and is in full force and effect), (b) conflict with (i) any provision of law, (ii) the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of any Loan Party or (iii) any material
agreement, indenture, instrument or other document, or any judgment, order or decree, which is binding upon any Loan Party or any of their respective properties or (c) require, or result in, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any
Loan Party (other than Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent created pursuant to the Collateral Documents). 
  
 9.3 Validity and Binding Nature. Each of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Person, enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

  
 9.4 Financial Condition. The audited consolidated
financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2003 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2004, copies of each of which have been delivered to each Lender,
were prepared in accordance with GAAP (subject, in the case of such unaudited statements, to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end adjustments) and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as
at such dates and the results of their operations for the periods then ended. 
  
 9.5 No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2003, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations, assets, business, properties or prospects of the Loan Parties taken as
a whole. 
  
 9.6 Litigation and Contingent Liabilities. No
litigation (including derivative actions), arbitration proceeding or governmental investigation or proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of any Senior Officer, threatened against any Loan Party which might reasonably be 

  

 39 

 
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Other than any liability incident to such litigation or proceedings, no Loan Party has any material contingent
liabilities not permitted by Section 11.1. 
  
 9.7
Ownership of Properties; Liens. Each Loan Party owns good and, in the case of real property, marketable or good insurable, title to, or holds valid leasehold interests in, all of its properties and assets, real and personal, tangible and
intangible, of any nature whatsoever (including patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks and copyrights), free and clear of all Liens, charges and claims (including infringement claims with respect to patents, trademarks, service marks,
copyrights and the like) except as permitted by Section 11.2. 
  
 9.8 Equity Ownership; Subsidiaries. All issued and outstanding Capital Securities of each Loan Party are duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, and (except with respect to the Company) free and clear of all
Liens other than those in favor of the Administrative Agent, and such securities were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance of securities. Schedule 9.8 sets forth the authorized Capital
Securities of each Loan Party as of the Closing Date. All of the issued and outstanding Capital Securities of each Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is, directly or indirectly, owned by the Company and is set forth on Schedule 9.8. The Company has no
Subsidiaries that are not Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule 9.8, there are no preemptive or other outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights or other similar agreements or
understandings for the purchase or acquisition of any Capital Securities of any Loan Party. 
  
 9.9 Pension Plans. (a) The Unfunded Liability of all Pension Plans does not in the aggregate exceed twenty percent of the Total Plan Liability for all such Pension Plans. Each Pension Plan complies in all
material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations. No contribution failure under Section 412 of the Code, Section 302 of ERISA or the terms of any Pension Plan has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan, sufficient to give
rise to a Lien under Section 302(f) of ERISA, or otherwise to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of any Senior Officer, threatened, claims, actions, investigations or lawsuits against any Pension Plan, any
fiduciary of any Pension Plan, or Company or other any member of the Controlled Group with respect to a Pension Plan or a Multiemployer Pension Plan which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any
other member of the Controlled Group has engaged in any prohibited transaction (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) in connection with any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Pension Plan which would subject that Person to any
material liability. Within the past five years, neither the Company nor any other member of the Controlled Group has engaged in a transaction which resulted in a Pension Plan with an Unfunded Liability being transferred out of the Controlled Group,
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Termination Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Pension Plan, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

  
 (b) All contributions (if any) have been made to any
Multiemployer Pension Plan that are required to be made by the Company or any other member of the Controlled Group under the terms of the plan or of any collective bargaining agreement or by applicable law; neither the Company nor any other member
of the Controlled Group has withdrawn or partially withdrawn 

  

 40 

 
from any Multiemployer Pension Plan, incurred any withdrawal liability with respect to any such plan or received notice of any claim or demand for withdrawal
liability or partial withdrawal liability from any such plan, and no condition has occurred which, if continued, could result in a withdrawal or partial withdrawal from any such plan; and neither the Company nor any other member of the Controlled
Group has received any notice that any Multiemployer Pension Plan is in reorganization, that increased contributions may be required to avoid a reduction in plan benefits or the imposition of any excise tax, that any such plan is or has been funded
at a rate less than that required under Section 412 of the Code, that any such plan is or may be terminated, or that any such plan is or may become insolvent. 
  

9.10 Investment Company Act. No Loan Party is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment
company” or a “subsidiary” of an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
  
 9.11 Public Utility Holding Company Act. No Loan Party is a “holding company”, or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding
company,” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. 
  
 9.12 Regulation U. The Company is not engaged principally, or as one
of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. 
  
 9.13 Taxes. Each Loan Party has timely filed all tax returns and reports required by law to have been filed by it and has paid all taxes and
governmental charges due and payable with respect to such return, except any such taxes or charges which are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been
set aside on its books. The Loan Parties have made adequate reserves on their books and records in accordance with GAAP for all taxes that have accrued but which are not yet due and payable. No Loan Party has participated in any transaction that
relates to a year of the taxpayer (which is still open under the applicable statute of limitations) which is a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2) (irrespective of the date when the
transaction was entered into). 
  
 9.14 Solvency, etc. On
the Closing Date, and immediately prior to and after giving effect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit and each borrowing hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof, with respect to the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis and taken as a
whole, (a) the fair value of their assets is greater than the amount of their liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) as such value is established and liabilities evaluated in accordance with GAAP, (b) the present
fair saleable value of their assets is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on their debts as they become absolute and matured, (c) they are able to realize upon their assets and pay their debts and other
liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) as they mature in the normal course of business, (d) they do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur debts or liabilities beyond their ability to pay as such
debts and liabilities mature and (e) they are not engaged in business or a transaction, and are not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which they have “unreasonably small capital.” 
  

 41 

 9.15 Environmental Matters. The on-going operations of each Loan Party comply with all
Environmental Laws, except such non-compliance which could not (if enforced in accordance with applicable law) reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party has obtained, and
maintained in good standing, all licenses, permits, authorizations, registrations and other approvals required under any Environmental Law and required for its respective ordinary course operations, and for its reasonably anticipated future
operations, and each Loan Party is in compliance with all terms and conditions thereof, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party
or any of its properties or operations is subject to, or reasonably anticipates the issuance of, any written order from or agreement with any Federal, state or local governmental authority, nor subject to any judicial or docketed administrative or
other proceeding, respecting any Environmental Law, Environmental Claim or Hazardous Substance that would reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no Hazardous Substances or
other conditions or circumstances existing with respect to any property, arising from operations prior to the Closing Date, or relating to any waste disposal, of any Loan Party that would reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in
the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of each Senior Officer, after due inquiry and diligence, no Loan Party has any underground storage tanks that are not properly registered or permitted under applicable Environmental Laws
or that at any time have released, leaked, disposed of or otherwise discharged Hazardous Substances. 
  
 9.16 Insurance. Set forth on Schedule 9.16 is a complete and accurate summary of the property and casualty insurance program of the Loan
Parties as of the Closing Date (including the names of all insurers, policy numbers, expiration dates, amounts and types of coverage, annual premiums, exclusions, deductibles, self-insured retention, and a description in reasonable detail of any
self-insurance program, retrospective rating plan, fronting arrangement or other risk assumption arrangement involving any Loan Party). Each Loan Party and its properties are insured with insurance companies with at least an “A-” rating by
Best’s Rating Services which are not Affiliates of the Loan Parties, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent agrees that the Company’s
insurance program (including deductibles and levels) existing on the Closing Date are acceptable). 
  
 9.17 Real Property. Set forth on Schedule 9.17 is a complete and accurate list, as of the Closing Date, of the address of all real property
owned or leased by any Loan Party, together with, in the case of leased property, the name and mailing address of the lessor of such property. Except as set forth in Schedule 9.17, no Person is a lessee, tenant or licensee of any real
property owned by any Loan Party. 
  
 9.18 Information. All
information heretofore or contemporaneously herewith furnished in writing by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is, and all written
information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant hereto or in connection herewith will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date as of which such information is
dated or certified, and none of such information is or will be incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to 

  

 42 

 
make such information not misleading in light of the circumstances under which made (it being recognized by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that any
projections and forecasts provided by the Company are based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Company to be reasonable as of the date of the applicable projections or assumptions and that actual results during the period or
periods covered by any such projections and forecasts may differ from projected or forecasted results). 
  
 9.19 Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party owns and possesses or has a license or other right to use all patents, patent rights, trademarks,
trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights, service marks, service mark rights and copyrights as are necessary for the conduct of the businesses of the Loan Parties, without any infringement upon rights of others which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 9.20 Burdensome
Obligations. No Loan Party is a party to any agreement or contract the breach of which or the performance of which, or subject to any restriction contained in its organizational documents which, could reasonably be expected to have either
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 9.21 Labor Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 9.21, no Loan Party is subject to any labor or collective bargaining agreement. There are no existing or, to the knowledge of any Senior Officer, threatened strikes, lockouts
or other labor disputes involving any Loan Party that singly or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Loan Parties are not in any violation of the Fair
Labor Standards Act or any other applicable law, rule or regulation dealing with such matters that singly or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 9.22 No Default. No Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
exists or would result from the incurrence by any Loan Party of any Debt hereunder or under any other Loan Document. 
  
 SECTION 10 AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. 
  
 Until the expiration or termination of the Commitments and thereafter until all Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are paid in full
and all Letters of Credit have been terminated, the Company agrees that, unless at any time the Required Lenders shall otherwise expressly consent in writing, it will:

practices sufficient to allow the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP; permit, and cause each other Loan Party to permit, any Lender or the Administrative Agent or any representative thereof to inspect the properties and
operations of the Loan Parties; and permit, and cause each other Loan Party to permit, at any reasonable time and with reasonable notice (or at any time without notice if an Event of Default exists), any Lender or the Administrative Agent or any
representative thereof to visit any or all of its offices, to discuss its financial matters with its officers and its independent auditors (and the Company hereby authorizes such independent auditors to discuss such financial matters with any Lender
or the Administrative Agent or any representative thereof, provided that the Company shall have the right to have a representative participate in any such discussion), and to examine (and, at the expense of the Loan Parties, photocopy extracts from)
any of its books or other records; and permit, and cause each other Loan Party to permit, the Administrative Agent and its representatives to inspect the Inventory and other tangible assets of the Loan Parties, to perform appraisals of the equipment
of the Loan Parties, and to inspect, examine, check and make copies of and extracts from the books, records, computer data, computer programs, journals, orders, receipts, correspondence and other data relating to Inventory, Accounts and any other
Collateral. While no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall exercise such inspection rights so as to minimize, to the extent reasonably possible, interference
with the Loan Parties’ businesses. All such inspections or examinations by the Administrative Agent shall be at the Company’s expense, provided that so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists, the
Company shall not be required to reimburse the Administrative Agent for more than one inspection or examination during each Fiscal Year. 
  
 10.3 Maintenance of Property; Insurance. (a) Keep, and cause each other Loan Party to keep, all property useful and necessary in the business of
the Loan Parties in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and, if insurance proceeds with respect to damage from a casualty or condemnation are not received by a Loan Party, damage from such casualty and condemnation.

  
 (b) Maintain, and cause each other Loan Party to maintain,
with responsible insurance companies, such insurance coverage as may be required by any law or governmental regulation or court decree or order applicable to it and such other insurance as is reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (and
Administrative Agent agrees that the Company’s insurance program (including deductibles and levels) existing on the Closing Date are 

  

 46 

 
acceptable); and, upon request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, furnish to the Administrative Agent or such Lender a certificate setting forth in
reasonable detail the nature and extent of all insurance maintained by the Loan Parties. The Company shall cause each issuer of an insurance policy to provide the Administrative Agent with an endorsement (i) showing the Administrative Agent as loss
payee with respect to each policy of property or casualty insurance and naming the Administrative Agent as an additional insured with respect to each policy of liability insurance, (ii) providing that 30 days’ notice will be given to the
Administrative Agent prior to any cancellation of, material reduction or change in coverage provided by or other material modification to such policy and (iii) reasonably acceptable in all other respects to the Administrative Agent. Administrative
Agent is authorized, but not obligated, as the attorney-in-fact for the Company, and every other Loan Party, and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without the Company’s or any other Loan Party’s
consent, (i) to adjust and compromise proceeds payable under such policies of insurance, (ii) to collect, receive and give receipts for such proceeds in the name of the Company or any other Loan Party and Administrative Agent, and (iii) to endorse
the Company’s or any other Loan Party’s name upon any instrument in payment thereof. Such power granted to Administrative Agent shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable (until all of the Obligations are fully and
indefeasibly paid in full and the Facilities have terminated). The Company shall or shall cause any other Loan Party Person upon request of Administrative Agent at any time to furnish to Administrative Agent updated evidence of insurance.

  
 (c) UNLESS THE COMPANY PROVIDES THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT WITH EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT THE COMPANY’S EXPENSE TO PROTECT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S AND THE LENDERS’ INTERESTS IN THE COLLATERAL AND
THE REAL ESTATE COLLATERAL. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT ANY LOAN PARTY’S INTERESTS. THE COVERAGE THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURCHASES MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL
AND THE REAL ESTATE COLLATERAL. THE COMPANY MAY LATER CANCEL ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, BUT ONLY AFTER PROVIDING THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WITH EVIDENCE THAT THE COMPANY HAS OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
IF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURCHASES INSURANCE FOR THE COLLATERAL AND THE REAL ESTATE COLLATERAL, THE COMPANY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE, INCLUDING INTEREST AND ANY OTHER CHARGES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED WITH THE PLACEMENT OF
THE INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE INSURANCE. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE LOANS OWING HEREUNDER. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF THE
INSURANCE THE LOAN PARTIES MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON THEIR OWN. 
  
 10.4 Compliance with Laws; Payment of Taxes and Liabilities. (a) Comply, and cause each other Loan Party to comply, in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, decrees, orders, judgments, licenses and
permits, except where failure to comply 

  

 47 

 
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) without limiting clause (a) above, ensure, and cause each other Loan Party to
ensure, that no person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls a Loan Party is or shall be (i) listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control
(“OFAC”), Department of the Treasury, and/or any other similar lists maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, Executive Order or regulation or (ii) a person designated under Section 1(b), (c) or (d) of Executive Order
No. 13224 (September 23, 2001), any related enabling legislation or any other similar Executive Orders, (c) without limiting clause (a) above, comply, and cause each other Loan Party to comply, with all applicable Bank Secrecy Act
(“BSA”) and anti-money laundering laws and regulations and (d) pay, and cause each other Loan Party to pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes and other governmental charges against it or any Collateral or any of the Real Estate
Collateral for the Loans or its other assets, as well as claims of any kind which, if unpaid, could become a Lien on any of its property; provided that the foregoing shall not require any Loan Party to pay any such tax or charge so long as it
shall contest the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and, in the case of a claim which could become a Lien on any Collateral or on
any of the Real Estate Collateral, such contest proceedings shall stay the foreclosure of such Lien or the sale of any portion of the Collateral or any portion of the Real Estate Collateral to satisfy such claim. 
  
 10.5 Maintenance of Existence, etc. Maintain and preserve, and
(subject to Section 11.4) cause each other Loan Party to maintain and preserve, (a) its existence and good standing in the jurisdiction of its organization, and (b) its qualification to do business and good standing in each jurisdiction where
the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary (other than such jurisdictions in which the failure to be qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). 
  
 10.6 Use of Proceeds. Use the proceeds of the Loans, and the Letters
of Credit, solely to repay the Debt to be Repaid, for working capital purposes, for Acquisitions permitted by Section 11.4, for Capital Expenditures and for other general business purposes; and not use or permit any proceeds of any Loan to be
used, either directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of “purchasing or carrying” any Margin Stock. 
  
 10.7 Employee Benefit Plans. 
  
 (a) Maintain, and cause each other member of the Controlled Group to maintain, each Pension Plan in substantial compliance with all applicable
requirements of law and regulations. 
  
 (b) Make, and cause each
other member of the Controlled Group to make, on a timely basis, all required contributions to any Multiemployer Pension Plan. 
  
 (c) Not, and not permit any other member of the Controlled Group to (i) seek a waiver of the minimum funding standards of ERISA, (ii) terminate or
withdraw from any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Pension Plan or (iii) take any other action with respect to any Pension Plan that would reasonably be expected to entitle the PBGC to terminate, impose liability in respect of, or cause a trustee to be
appointed to administer, any Pension Plan, unless 

  

 48 

 
the actions or events described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) individually or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 10.8 Environmental Matters. If any release or threatened release or
other disposal of Hazardous Substances shall occur or shall have occurred on any real property or any other assets of any Loan Party, the Company shall, or shall cause the applicable Loan Party to, cause the prompt containment and removal of such
Hazardous Substances and the remediation of such real property or other assets as necessary to comply with all Environmental Laws and to preserve the value of such real property or other assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, comply with any Federal or state judicial or administrative order requiring the performance at any real property of any Loan Party of activities in response to the release or threatened
release of a Hazardous Substance at any real property of any Loan Party (whether owned or leased). To the extent that the transportation of Hazardous Substances is permitted by this Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to,
dispose of such Hazardous Substances, or of any other wastes, only at licensed disposal facilities operating in compliance with Environmental Laws. 
  
 10.9 Further Assurances. Take, and cause each other Loan Party to take, such actions as are necessary or as the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations of each Loan Party under the Loan Documents are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and each domestic Subsidiary (as well as all Capital
Securities of each domestic Subsidiary and 65% of all Capital Securities of each direct foreign Subsidiary) and guaranteed by each domestic Subsidiary (including, upon the acquisition or creation thereof, any Subsidiary acquired or created after the
Closing Date), in each case as the Administrative Agent may determine, including (a) the execution and delivery of guaranties, security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, financing statements and other documents, and the
filing or recording of any of the foregoing and (b) the delivery of certificated securities and other Collateral with respect to which perfection is obtained by possession.

 SECTION 14 THE AGENTS. 
  
 14.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably
(subject to Section 14.10) appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties
as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant,
and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent or any other “agent’ hereunder is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

  
 14.2 Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender
shall act on behalf of the Lenders (according to their Pro Rata Shares) with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith. The Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to the
Administrative Agent in this SECTION 14 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for
letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent”, as used in this SECTION 14, included the Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions and (b) as additionally provided
in this Agreement with respect to the Issuing Lender. 
  
 14.3
Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants
or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct. 
  

 62 

 14.4 Exculpation of Administrative Agent. None of the Administrative Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, employees or agents shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the
extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner
to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or Affiliate of the Company, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of the Company or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its Obligations hereunder or
thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 
  
 14.5 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, electronic mail message, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it
deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any
such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and
any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in SECTION 12, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have
consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written
notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto. 
  
 14.6 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the
payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement,
describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and stating that such notice is a 

  

 63 

 
“notice of default”. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such
action with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with SECTION 13; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such
request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the
Lenders. 
  
 14.7 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges
that the Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Loan Parties, shall
be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to the
Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Company hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company. Except
for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Company which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent. 
  
 14.8 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company and without limiting the obligation of the
Company to do so), according to its applicable Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that no Lender shall be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined by a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken in accordance
with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for
its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs and Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document 

  

 64 

 
contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company. The
undertaking in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents,
termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent. 
  
 14.9 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. LaSalle and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage
in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Loan Parties and Affiliates as though LaSalle were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any Lender. Each Lender
acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, LaSalle or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or such
Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), LaSalle and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though LaSalle were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include LaSalle and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

  
 14.10 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of the Company (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may
appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Company, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this SECTION 14 and Sections 15.5 and 15.17 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for
above. 
  
 14.11 Collateral Matters. The Lenders
irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of
all Loans and all other obligations of the Company hereunder and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted
hereunder; or (iii) subject to Section 15.1,

if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; or (b) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral or any Real Estate Collateral to
any holder of a Lien on such Collateral or Real Estate Collateral which is permitted by Section 11.2(d)(i) or (d)(ii) (it being understood that the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from the Company in
determining whether the Debt secured by any such Lien is permitted by Section 11.1(b)). Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release, or
subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral or Real Estate Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.11. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to give blockage notices in connection with any Subordinated
Debt at the direction of Required Lenders and agrees that it will not act unilaterally to deliver such notices. 
  
 14.12 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
  
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
(including, without limitation, any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under SECTION 5, and Sections 15.5 and 15.17) allowed in such judicial proceedings; and 
  
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
  
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar
official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to
pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under SECTION 5,
and Sections 15.5 and 15.17. 
  
 Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any
Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or

of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in
deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 15 GENERAL. 
  
 15.1
Waiver; Amendments. 
  
 15.1.1 No delay on
the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further
exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. 
  
 15.1.2 No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
acknowledged by Lenders having aggregate Pro Rata Shares of not less than the aggregate Pro Rata Shares expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as to any provision of this Agreement, by the Required
Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 
  
 15.1.3 No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (a) extend or increase the Commitment of any
Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (b) extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal (excluding mandatory prepayments) of or interest on the Loans or any fees payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby, (c) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the rate of interest thereon or any fees payable hereunder, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except for periodic adjustments of interest rates and

Required Lenders, any provision of this Section 15.1.3 or reduce the aggregate Pro Rata Share required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent, without, in each case, the written consent of all Lenders. No provision of
Sections 6.2.2 or 6.3 with respect to the timing or application of mandatory prepayments of the Loans shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of Lenders having a majority of the aggregate Pro Rata Shares of the Term
Loans affected thereby. No provision of SECTION 14 or other provision of this Agreement affecting the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the 

  

 67 

 
consent of the Administrative Agent. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such shall be
amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Issuing Lender. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the
Swing Line Lender. 
  
 15.1.4 At any time after
delivery of the 2004 Fiscal Year unqualified audited financial statements, if the Company obtains an investment rating from Standard & Poor’s of BBB- or Moody’s Investor Service of Baa3 or Fitch’s Rating Agency of BBB-, then the
Company may request, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall reasonably consider and vote on, a release of all the Collateral and Real Estate Collateral securing the Facilities conditioned upon, among other things, the Company and the
other Loan Parties not providing any other Person with a Lien in any of its property or assets, nor agree with any other Person not to provide a Lien in any of its property or assets, except for Permitted Liens and such other reasonable conditions
as the Lenders may impose. If the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders agree to release the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Company’s and the Loan Parties’ assets, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, but one or
more Lenders do not agree to such release (the “Dissenting Lenders”), then the Company and/or Administrative Agent may designate one or more financial institution, which may or may not be a Lender, which is acceptable to the
Company, Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender in their reasonable discretion (such other bank being called a “New Lender”) to purchase the Loans of such Dissenting Lenders and such Dissenting Lender’s rights hereunder,
without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Dissenting Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Dissenting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and all
accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Dissenting Lenders and any other amounts payable to such Dissenting Lenders under this Agreement, and to assume all the obligations of such Dissenting Lenders hereunder, and, upon such purchase and assumption
(pursuant to an Assignment Agreement), such Dissenting Lenders shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Dissenting Lenders prior to the date
of such purchase and assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to the Company hereunder, and the New Lenders shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Dissenting Lenders hereunder. Each Dissenting Lender shall sell its Loans
as set forth in this Section 15.1.4 and use reasonable efforts to cooperate therewith. An existing Lender who is not a Dissenting Lender shall be an acceptable New Lender. 
  
 15.2 Confirmations. The Company and each holder of a Note agree from time to time, upon written request received by
it from the other, to confirm to the other in writing (with a copy of each such confirmation to the Administrative Agent) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding under such Note. 
  
 15.3 Notices. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.2.2
and 2.2.3, all notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Annex B or at such other address as such party may, by written notice received by
the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to have been given when sent; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given three Business Days after the date when
sent by 

  

 68 

 
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier service shall be deemed to have been given when
received. For purposes of Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on telephonic instructions from any person that the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an authorized officer or employee
of the Company, and the Company shall hold the Administrative Agent and each other Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense resulting from any such reliance. 
  
 15.4 Computations. Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required
to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination or calculation shall, to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement,
be made in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied; provided that if the Company notifies the Administrative Agent that the Company wishes to amend any covenant in Section 11.11 (or any related definition) to eliminate or to take
into account the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the Required Lenders wish to amend Section 11.11 (or any related definition) for such purpose), then the
Company’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant (or related definition) is
amended in a manner satisfactory to the Company and the Required Lenders. 
  
 15.5 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Company agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including Attorney Costs and any Taxes) in connection with the
preparation, execution, syndication, delivery and administration (including perfection and protection of any Collateral and Real Estate Collateral and the costs of Intralinks (or other similar service), if applicable) of this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith (including any amendment, supplement or waiver to any Loan Document), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby shall be consummated, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs and any Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent after an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof in connection with the
collection of the Obligations or the enforcement of this Agreement the other Loan Documents or any such other documents or during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof. In addition, the Company agrees to pay, and to save the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from all liability for, any fees of the Company’s auditors or examiners in connection with any reasonable exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of their rights pursuant to Section
10.2. All Obligations provided for in this Section 15.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and termination of this Agreement. 
  
 15.6 Assignments; Participations. 
  
 15.6.1 Assignments. (a) Any Lender may at any time
assign to one or more Persons (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of such Lender’s Loans and Commitments, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender (for an assignment of the
Revolving Loans and the Revolving Commitment) and, so long as no 

  

 69 

 
Event of Default exists, the Company (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to
a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender). Except as the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree or except as contemplated by Section 15.1.4, any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000 or, if less, the remaining
Commitment and Loans held by the assigning Lender. The Company and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until the
Administrative Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (an “Assignment Agreement”) executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable
parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500 payable by the Assignor, unless pursuant to the Assignment Agreement the Assignee has agreed to make such payment, provided, however, no such processing fee shall be payable if the assignment is
pursuant to Section 15.1.4. Subject to Section 15.1.4, no assignment may be made to any Person if at the time of such assignment the Company would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 7.6 to the Assignee than the Company is
then obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under such Sections (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, the Company will not be required to pay such greater amounts). Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this
Section 15.6.1 shall be treated as the sale of a participation under Section 15.6.2. The Company shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless the Company has expressly objected to
such assignment within five Business Days after notice thereof. 
  
 (b) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to
such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment
Agreement, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, the Company
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) a Note in the principal amount of the Assignee’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment plus the principal amount
of the Assignee’s Term Loan (and, as applicable, a Note in the principal amount of the Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment retained by the assigning Lender plus the principal amount of the Term Loan retained by the assigning Lender).
Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Upon receipt by the assigning Lender of such Note, the assigning Lender shall return to the Company any prior Note held by it. 
  
 (c) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security
interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
  

 70 

 15.6.2 Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons
participating interests in its Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such Lender’s obligations
hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) the Company and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (c) all amounts
payable by the Company shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event
described in Section 15.1 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such
Lender enters into with any Participant. The Company agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of
its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and with respect to any Letter of Credit to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided
that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 7.5. The Company also agrees that each Participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.6 as if it were a Lender (provided that on the date of the participation no Participant shall be entitled to any greater compensation pursuant to Section 7.6 than would have been paid to
the participating Lender on such date if no participation had been sold and that each Participant complies with Section 7.6(d) as if it were an Assignee). 
  
 15.7 Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered and accepted by
it and register (the “Register”) for the recordation of names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is the original Lender or the Assignee. No assignment shall be
effective unless and until the Assignment Agreement is accepted and registered in the Register. All records of transfer of a Lender’s interest in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the ownership of the interests in
the Loans. The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability of any kind with respect to any Lender with respect to the maintenance of the Register. 
  
 15.8 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH NOTE AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE LAW THAT GOVERNS THE PERFECTION, EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR
NON-PERFECTION, AND ENFORCEMENT OF LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS SUBJECT TO THE UCC SHALL BE THE LAW DETERMINED TO BE APPLICABLE UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE UCC AS ADOPTED AND IN EFFECT IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, AND (II) THE PROVISIONS OF THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS PERTAINING TO THE CREATION OR PERFECTION OF LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS IN COLLATERAL AND 

  

 71 

 
REAL ESTATE COLLATERAL NOT SUBJECT TO THE UCC AND LOCATED IN A STATE OTHER THAN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE.

  
 15.9 Confidentiality. As required by federal law
and the Administrative Agent’s policies and practices, the Administrative Agent may need to obtain, verify, and record certain customer identification information and documentation in connection with opening or maintaining accounts, or
establishing or continuing to provide services. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts the Administrative Agent or such Lender applies to maintain the confidentiality of its
own confidential information) to maintain as confidential all information provided to them by any Loan Party and designated as confidential, except that the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose such information (a) to Persons employed
or engaged by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans and the Commitments; (b) to any assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed to comply with the
covenant contained in this Section 15.9 (and any such assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose such information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in clause (a) above); (c) as required or
requested by any federal or state regulatory authority or examiner, or any insurance industry association, or as reasonably believed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena or legal or administrative
order or process; (d) as, on the advice of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s counsel, is required by law; (e) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents or in connection with any litigation to
which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is a party; (f) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender;
(g) to any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any other Lender who may provide Bank Products to the Loan Parties; or (h) that ceases to be confidential through no fault of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the
Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements. 
  
 15.10 Severability. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 15.11 Nature of Remedies. All Obligations of the Company and rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressed herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of
those provided by applicable law. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. 
  

 72 

 15.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the
entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof (except as relates to the
fees described in Section 5.3) and any prior arrangements made with respect to the payment by the Company of (or any indemnification for) any fees, costs or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred) by or on behalf of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders. 
  
 15.13
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same Agreement. Receipt of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall constitute effective delivery thereof. Electronic records of executed Loan Documents maintained by
the Lenders shall deemed to be originals.

Loan Documents. The Company may not assign or transfer any of its rights or Obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender.
