Letter to Warrantholders

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 [LETTERHEAD] 
  
 April 11, 2005 
  
 To the Holders of Arrowhead Research Corporation Warrants: 
  
 Over the last several months, we have received numerous phone calls from Warrantholders asking about when a Warrantholder about the tax consequences of exercising warrants and the restrictions on transfer, as well as
when the Warrants must be exercised and about Arrowhead’s plans to call the Warrants,. I hope the following information helps answer these questions. 
  
 Will there be U.S. federal income tax due upon exercise of a Warrant? 
  
 A holder typically will recognize an income tax gain only upon sale of the stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant, and only to the extent
that the stock price exceeds that holder’s Warrant exercise price. 
  
 When does the holding period start for long-term capital gains on the common stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant? 
  
 The holding period for the common stock issued when the warrant is exercised starts on the date of exercise and does not tack back to the acquisition date of the Warrant.

  
 When can I have the restrictive legends removed from my Warrant?

  
 The restrictive legend cannot be removed until January 2006 unless
the shares are sold and the prospectus is delivered to the buyer. However, the common stock issued to you upon exercise of the warrant will be unrestricted. 
  
 Do you have to exercise your Warrants? 
  
 NO. The decision to exercise your Warrants is solely within your discretion. Unless your warrants are called for redemption, you may exercise your Warrants anytime on or
before June 30, 2013. If the warrants are called for redemption, you will have at least 30 days notice during which time you may choose to exercise your warrants before the redemption date or accept the nominal redemption price. 
  
 Does Arrowhead currently have a plan to redeem the Warrants? 
  
 NO. We have no current plan to redeem the Warrants. However, Arrowhead’s Board of
Directors continually reviews strategic opportunities, and could decide to call the warrants at any time in the future. We will need to raise additional capital in the near term to meet our current funding commitments, and we may seek to do so by
calling the Warrants for redemption, or through other financing alternatives. 
  
 The foregoing is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising a Warrant. This summary does not discuss all aspects of federal income taxation which may be important to each Warrantholder in light of such
individual holder’s tax circumstances, or the consequences to certain types of Warrantholders subject to special tax rules (including financial institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, and tax-exempt organizations and non-”U.S.
persons).” This summary also assumes that Warrantholders have held their Warrants and will hold their shares of Common Stock as capital assets (generally, property held for investment). 
  
 YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISERS WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF
EXERCISING YOUR WARRANTS AND HOLDING OR SELLING THE COMMON STOCK ISSUED TO YOU UPON EXERCISE OF YOUR WARRANTS. 
  
 Please do not hesitate to call us at (626) 792-5549 if you should have any questions. 
  
 Sincerely, 
  
 /s/ R. Bruce Stewart

time become parties hereto (together with their respective successors and assigns, the “Lenders”) and LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (in its individual capacity, “LaSalle”), as administrative agent for the

 The Credit Parties have requested that LaSalle make certain amendments to the Original Credit Agreement and certain of the related agreements. 
  
 LaSalle is willing to make such amendments and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Co-Borrowers a revolving

 24 

 
the Administrative Agent at the office specified by the Administrative Agent with immediately available funds covering such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of

 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 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000. 
  
 (b) The Co-Borrowers shall give written notice (each such written notice, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the

all outstanding Swing Line Loans, may exceed the Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. The provisions of this Section 2.2.4 shall not relieve Lenders of their obligations to make Revolving Loans under
Section 2.2.1; 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers to the Administrative Agent. Any such notice must be given no later than 1:00 P.M., Chicago time, on the Business Day of the proposed Swing Line Loan. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Swing Line Lender upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Notice of Borrowing. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received at least one Business Day’s prior written notice from the Required

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

 26 

 (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 no less frequently than once weekly, shall on behalf of the Co-Borrowers (and the
Co-Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the Swing Line Lender to so act on their behalf) request each Lender with a Commitment (including the Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Loan to the Co-Borrowers (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
13.1.3 has occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 2.2.4(d) shall apply) and regardless of whether the 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
1:00 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

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 Swing Line Loans 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers 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 

  

 27 

 
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 Co-Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Issuing Lender the Master
Letter of Credit Agreement from time to time in effect. The Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers 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
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)) 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, 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 Co-Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If the Co-Borrowers do not pay any reimbursement obligation when due, the Co-Borrowers 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 

  

 28 

 
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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably agree 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 Co-Borrowers
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 Co-Borrowers and the Administrative Agent whenever any demand for payment is made under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereunder; provided that
the failure of the Issuing Lender to so notify the Co-Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall not affect the rights of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders in any manner whatsoever. 
  
 (b) The Co-Borrowers’ 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 in good faith 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 

  

 29 

 
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 Co-Borrowers, or relieve the Co-Borrowers of any of their obligations hereunder to any such Person. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.3 to the contrary, the
Co-Borrowers may have a claim against the Issuing Lender and the Issuing Lender may be liable to the Co-Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Co-Borrowers
which the Co-Borrowers prove were caused by the Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to the Issuing Lender by the beneficiary of a sight draft
and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. 
  
 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 Co-Borrowers have 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 Section
2.3.2 or (c) any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender from any Co-Borrower is or must be returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy or reorganization of any Co-Borrower 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 Co-Borrowers 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 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 

  

 30 

 
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 such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. 
  
 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers promise 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 
  
 (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; 
  

 31 

 provided that at any time an Event of Default exists, at the option of the Required Lenders, the interest rate
applicable to each Loan shall be increased by 2% (and, in the case of Obligations not bearing interest, such Obligations shall bear interest at the Base Rate applicable to Revolving Loans plus 2%), provided further that such increase
may thereafter be rescinded by the Required Lenders, notwithstanding Section 15.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 13.1.1 or 13.1.3, 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 month and at maturity. Accrued interest on each LIBOR Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period relating to such Loan (and, in the case
of a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period in excess of three months, on the three-month anniversary of the first day of such Interest Period), 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers or
any Lender, deliver to the Co-Borrowers 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 (a) 360 days for interest calculated at the LIBOR Rate and (b) 365/366 days for interest calculated at the Base Rate. 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 Co-Borrowers agree 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, at the rate in effect from time to time of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (as adjusted from time to time) of the daily unused amount
of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. For purposes of calculating usage under this Section, the Aggregate 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. The non-use fee shall be based on the rate set forth below: 
  

				
	 Percentage of Aggregate Revolving Commitment Used

	  	Non-Use Fee Rate

	 
	 More than 66-2/3% used
	  	.25	%
	 Less than or equal to 66-2/3% but more than 33-1/3% used
	  	.375	%
	 Less than or equal 33-1/3% used
	  	.50	%

  

 32 

 5.2 Letter of Credit Fees. 
  
 (a) The Co-Borrowers agree 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 L/C Fee Rate in effect from time to time of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (as 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, at the option of the Required Lenders, 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 fee 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 Co-Borrowers agree 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) a letter of credit fronting fee in the
amount and at the times agreed to by the Co-Borrowers and the Issuing Lender. 
  
 5.3 Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Co-Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent such agent’s fees as are mutually agreed to from time to time by the Co-Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent including the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter. 
  
 Section 6 REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE AGGREGATE REVOLVING COMMITMENT. 
  
 6.1 Reduction of Termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. 
  
 6.1.1 Voluntary Reduction or Termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. 
  
 The Co-Borrowers may from time to time on at least 30
days’ (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice received by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) permanently reduce the Aggregate 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 $2,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. Concurrently with any reduction of
the Aggregate Revolving Commitment 

  

 33 

 
to zero, the Co-Borrowers 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 Aggregate Revolving Commitment. All reductions of the Aggregate 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 Co-Borrowers may
from time to time prepay the Loans in whole or in part; provided that the Co-Borrowers 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 $2,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. 
  
 6.2.2 Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 If on any day the Revolving Outstandings plus the outstanding amount
of the Swing Line Loan exceeds the Revolving Loan Availability, the Co-Borrowers shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit, or do a combination of the foregoing, in an amount sufficient to
eliminate such excess. 
  
 6.3 Manner of Prepayments.

  
 6.3.1 All Prepayments. Each voluntary
partial prepayment shall be in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. 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. 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. 
  
 6.4 Repayments. The Revolving Loans of each Lender shall be paid in
full and the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall terminate on the Termination Date. 
  
 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 Co-Borrowers to the
Administrative Agent in immediately 

  

 34 

 
available funds at the office specified by the Administrative Agent not later than noon, Chicago time, on 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 Co-Borrowers directly to the Lender entitled thereto without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. All payments made by the Co-Borrower hereunder or under any
Loan Documents shall be made 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 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 shall be applied as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its discretion. 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 Co-Borrowers, for themselves and each other Loan Party, agree 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 Co-Borrowers, for themselves and each other Loan Party, agree 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 Co-Borrowers and each other Loan Party hereunder, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Co-Borrowers 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 15.7 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 

  

 35 

 
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 purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery. 
  
 7.6 Taxes. 
  
 (a) 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 Co-Borrowers 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
Co-Borrowers make 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers withhold any Taxes on payments hereunder or under any Loan Document, the Co-Borrowers 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 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 Co-Borrowers 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 and Administrative Agent 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 Co-Borrowers 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 

  

 36 

 
the IRS) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax on payments to be made hereunder or any
Loan. If a Lender or Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent (any such certificate, a “Withholding Certificate”). In addition, each Lender and Administrative Agent 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers 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) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
the Co-Borrowers shall not be required to pay additional amounts to a Lender or Administrative Agent, or indemnify any Lender or Administrative Agent to the extent that such obligations would not have arisen but for the failure of such Lender or
Administrative Agent 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 Co-Borrowers 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. 
  

 37 

 (v) To the extent that a Lender receives a refund or credit for any Taxes for which a Co-Borrower has
made additional payments to a Lender or Administrative Agent under Section 7.6(b), or indemnified a Lender or Administrative Agent under Section 7.6(c), the Lender or Administrative Agent shall pay the amount of such refund or credit
(plus any interest received from the applicable taxing authority). To the extent a Co-Borrower determines that a Lender or Administrative Agent is entitled to claim or refund with respect to any tax that would give rise to a payment hereunder, the
Lender or Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Co-Borrower to obtain such refund or credit provided that the Co-Borrower reimburses the Lender or Administrative Agent for its out-of-pocket expenditures obtaining such refund or credit.

  
 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 (other than relating to Taxes), or any change in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law, rule or regulation (other than relating to Taxes) 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 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 Co-Borrowers 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. Thereafter, the Lender may send a new notice during each calendar quarter setting forth the calculation of such increased
cost or reduced return for that quarter and including a demand for payment of the amount necessary to compensate such Lender for its increased cost or reduced return for that quarter. The Lender’s calculation in any such notice shall be
conclusive and binding absent demonstrable error. 
  
 (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 

  

 38 

 
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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers)
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; 
  
 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 any LIBOR Loans 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 

  

 39 

 
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 Co-Borrowers hereby agree 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 Co-Borrowers 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), 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 Co-Borrowers 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 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 Co-Borrowers 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. 
  
 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. 
  

 40 

 8.7 Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement of Lenders. 
  
 (a) Each Lender shall promptly notify the Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers to pay any amount pursuant to Sections 7.6 or 8.1 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstances described in Sections 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers become obligated to pay additional
amounts to any Lender pursuant to Sections 7.6 or 8.1, or any Lender gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in Sections 8.2 or 8.3, the Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers 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. 
  
 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 Co-Borrowers represent and warrant 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 

  

 41 

 
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, each Co-Borrower 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Consolidated Group as at December 31, 2004, copies of each of which have been delivered to each Lender, were prepared in accordance
with GAAP and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Consolidated Group as at such dates and the results of their operations for the periods then ended. 
  
 9.5 No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2004, there has not occurred any event or circumstance that would
have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 9.6 Litigation and
Contingent Liabilities. No litigation (including derivative actions), arbitration proceeding or governmental investigation or proceeding is pending or, to the Co-Borrowers’ knowledge, threatened against any Loan Party which might reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in Schedule 9.6. 
  
 9.7 Ownership of Properties; Liens. Each Loan Party owns good and, in the case of real property, marketable title to 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 

  

 42 

 
with respect to patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights and the like) except as permitted by Section 11.2. 
  
 9.8 Subsidiaries. All Subsidiaries of each Credit Party (both direct
and indirect) are set forth and described in the organizational chart set forth on Schedule 9.8. 
  
 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. To
the knowledge of each Co-Borrower, 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 Co-Borrower, threatened, claims,
actions, investigations or lawsuits against any Pension Plan, any fiduciary of any Pension Plan, or the Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers nor any other member of the Controlled Group has withdrawn or partially withdrawn 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 Co-Borrowers 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.

 9.14 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 each Loan Party, individually, (a) the fair value of its assets is greater than the amount of its
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 its assets is not less than the amount that will be

not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which its property would constitute unreasonably small capital; provided however, that for purposes of the foregoing representation relating to a Loan Party that is not a Co-Borrower, no

obtained, and maintained in good standing, all licenses, permits, authorizations, registrations and other approvals required under any Environmental Law and required for their 

  

 44 

 
respective ordinary course operations, and for their 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 in material liability to any Loan Party and could not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse
Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 9.15, 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. Except as set forth on Schedule 9.15, 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

 9.18 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,

 Section 14 THE AGENT. 
  
 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 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 

  

 63 

 
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. 
  
 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 Co-Borrowers, 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers or any of the Co-Borrowers’ 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
Co-Borrowers), 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 

  

 64 

 
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 Co-Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other 

  

 65 

 
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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers and
without limiting the obligation of the Co-Borrowers 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 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 Co-Borrowers. 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 their 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 Co-Borrowers or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Co-Borrowers 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. 
  

 66 

 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 Co-Borrowers (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 Co-Borrowers, 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 15.6 and 15.18 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 Co-Borrowers 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 15.2, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; or (b) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by
Section 11.2(d)(i) or (d)(iii) (it being understood that the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from the Co-Borrowers 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 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 

  

 67 

 
shall have made any demand on the Co-Borrowers) 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 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 15.6 and 15.18) 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 15.6 and 15.18. 
  
 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. 
  
 14.13 Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement
as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger”, if any, shall have any right,
power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none 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 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. This
Agreement constitutes an amendment to, and a complete restatement of, the Original Credit Agreement. 
  

 68 

 15.2 Waiver; Amendments. 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. 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 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. 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
fees resulting from a change in the Applicable Margin as provided for in this Agreement); or (d) release any party from its obligations under the Guaranty or all or any substantial part of the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents,
change the definition of Required Lenders, any provision of this Section 15.2 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 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. 
  
 15.3 Confirmations. The Co-Borrowers 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. 
  
 15.4 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 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 

  

 69 

 
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 Co-Borrowers, and the Co-Borrowers shall hold the Administrative Agent and each other Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense resulting from any such reliance.

  
 15.5 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 Co-Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent that the Co-Borrowers wish to amend any covenant in
Section 10.1 or Section 11.10 (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 Co-Borrowers that the
Required Lenders wish to amend Section 10.1 or Section 11.10 (or any related definition) for such purpose), then the Co-Borrowers’ 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 Co-Borrowers and the Required Lenders. 
  
 15.6 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Co-Borrowers agree 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 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 and each Lender after the occurrence of an Event of Default 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. All Obligations provided for in this Section 15.6 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and
termination of this Agreement. 
  
 15.7 Assignments;
Participations. 
  
 15.7.1
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 Commitment, with the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lender and, so long as no Event of Default exists, the Co-Borrowers (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required for an assignment 

  

 70 

 
by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender). Except as the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree, 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 Co-Borrowers 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 D hereto (an “Assignment Agreement”)
executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500. No assignment may be made to any Person if at the time of such assignment the Co-Borrowers would be obligated to pay any greater amount under
Section 7.6 or Section 8 to the Assignee than the Co-Borrowers are then obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under such Sections (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, the Co-Borrowers will not be required to
pay such greater amounts). Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 15.7.1 shall be treated as the sale of a participation under Section 15.7.2. The Co-Borrowers shall be deemed to have granted their consent to
any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless the Co-Borrowers have expressly objected to such assignment within three 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Aggregate Revolving Commitment (and, as applicable, a Note in the principal amount of the Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment 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 Co-Borrowers 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.

  

 71 

 15.7.2 Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons
participating interests in its Loans, Commitment 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 Co-Borrowers 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 Co-Borrowers 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 15.2 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 Co-Borrowers agree 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 Co-Borrowers also agree that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.6 or Section 8 as if it were a Lender (provided that no Participant shall be entitled to any greater compensation pursuant to Section 7.6 or Section 8
than would have been paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold and that each Participant complies with Section 7.6(d) as if it were an Assignee). 
  
 15.8 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. 
  
 15.9 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH NOTE 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. 
  

 72 

 15.10 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
