time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.02, or such other location as the Administrative Agent may specify by notice to
the Banks, in same day funds, such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing. Upon fulfillment of 
  

 -28- 

 the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the
Borrower at its account with the Administrative Agent or to such other account as the Borrower shall specify to the Administrative Agent in writing. 
  
 (b) Conversions and Continuations. In order to elect to Convert or continue Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under this Section, the
Borrower shall deliver an irrevocable Notice of Conversion or Continuation to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office no later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago, Illinois time) (i) on the date which is at least three Business Days
in advance of the proposed Conversion or continuation date in the case of a Conversion to or a continuation of a Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances and (ii) on the Business Day prior to the proposed conversion date in the case of a Conversion to
a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances. Each such Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be in writing or by telecopier, specifying (i) the requested Conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the Borrowing amount
and Type of the Advances to be Converted or continued, (iii) whether a Conversion or continuation is requested, and if a Conversion, into what Type of Advances, and (iv) in the case of a Conversion to, or a continuation of, LIBOR Advances, the
requested Interest Period. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation under this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall provide each Bank with a copy thereof and, in the case of a Conversion to or a continuation of LIBOR
Advances, notify each Bank of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.06(b). For purposes other than the conditions set forth in Section 3.02, the portion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing that are Converted to Advances of
another Type shall constitute a new Borrowing. If the Borrower shall fail to specify an Interest Period for a LIBOR Advance including the continuation of a LIBOR Advance, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Base Rate Advance. 

 
 (c) Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in paragraphs (a)
and (b) above: 
  
 (i) in the case of LIBOR
Advances each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or such greater amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000; 
  
 (ii) except for Borrowings for the acquisition by the Borrower or its Subsidiary of Investments permitted under Sections 6.07 (c) and (d),
the Borrower may not request Borrowings on more than three days in any calendar month. 
  
 (iii) at no time shall there be more than eight (8) Interest Periods applicable to outstanding LIBOR Advances; 
  
 (iv) the Borrower may not select LIBOR Advances for any
Borrowing to be made, Converted or continued if a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
  
 (v) if any Bank shall, at any time prior to the making of any requested Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances, notify the Administrative
Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other governmental authority 
  

 -29- 

 asserts that it is unlawful, for such Bank or its LIBOR Lending Office to perform its obligations under
this Agreement to make LIBOR Advances or to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances, then such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Advance, provided that such Base Rate Advance shall be considered part of the same
Borrowing and interest on such Base Rate Advance shall be due and payable at the same time that interest on the LIBOR Advances comprising the remainder of such Borrowing shall be due and payable; and such Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the reasonable
judgment of such Bank, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Bank; 
  
 (vi) if the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the LIBOR for LIBOR Advances comprising any requested Borrowing, the right of the Borrower to select LIBOR Advances for such Borrowing or for any subsequent
Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance; 

 
 (vii) if the Required Lenders shall, at least one
Business Day before the date of any requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR for LIBOR Advances comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Banks of making or funding their respective LIBOR
Advances, as the case may be, for such Borrowing, the right of the Borrower to select LIBOR Advances for such Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Banks that
the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance; and 
  
 (viii) if the Borrower shall fail to select the duration or continuation of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Advances in accordance with
the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01 and paragraph (a) or (b) above, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Banks and such Advances will be made available to the
Borrower on the date of such Borrowing as Base Rate Advances or, if an existing Advance, Converted into Base Rate Advances. 
  
 (d) Notices Irrevocable. Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the
case of any Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of LIBOR Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against any loss, out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred by such Bank as a result of any condition
precedent for Borrowing set forth in Article III not being satisfied for any reason, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such
Bank to fund the Advance to be made by such Bank as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. 
  

 -30- 

 (e) Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
a Bank before the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made its Pro Rata Share of such
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to immediately repay to the Administrative Agent
on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest on such amount, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable on each such day to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount
and interest as provided above, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement even though not made on the same day as the other Advances comprising such
Borrowing. 
  
 (f) Bank Obligations Several. The failure of
any Bank to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing. No Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to
make the Advance to be made by such other Bank on the date of any Borrowing. 
  
 (g) Notes. The indebtedness of the Borrower to each Bank resulting from Advances owing to such Bank shall be evidenced by the Note of the Borrower payable to the order of such Bank in substantially the form of
Exhibit A. 
  
 Section 2.03. Fees. 
  
 (a) Commitment Fees. For the period from the Closing Date to but
excluding the Maturity Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee on the average daily amount by which such Bank’s Commitment exceeds the sum of such Bank’s outstanding
Advances and Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Exposure at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin based upon a 360-day year. Such fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears for those quarters ending on the last day of each
March, June, September and December (i) on the date which is 30 days following the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Maturity Date. 
  
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks, fees
in respect of all Letters of Credit outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin calculated based upon a 360-day year and in respect of the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under such outstanding Letters of
Credit, payable quarterly in arrears for those quarters ending on the last day of each March, June, September and December (i) on the date which is 30 days following the last Business Day of 
  

 -31- 

 each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Maturity Date. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to the
Issuing Bank for its own account a fee on the average daily amount of the aggregate undrawn maximum face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to .125%, such fees due and payable quarterly in arrears
(i) on the date which is 30 days following the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Maturity Date. 
  
 (c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s account the fees set
forth in the letter agreement (the “Fee Letter”) dated May 9, 2005, by and between such parties, as and when the same are due and payable pursuant to the terms of such Fee Letter. 
  
 Section 2.04. Reduction of the Commitments. The Borrower may, upon at
least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, permanently terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the Commitments of the Banks; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in the
aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) no such reduction shall result in the Total Commitments of the Banks being less than $100,000,000. 
  
 Section 2.05. Repayment of Advances. The Borrower shall repay the
outstanding principal amount of each Advance on the Maturity Date. 
  
 Section 2.06. Interest . The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by each Bank from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per
annum: 
  
 (a) Base Rate Advances. If such
Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum (computed on the actual number of days elapsed, including the first day and excluding the last, based on a 365 day year) equal at all times to the lesser of (i) the Adjusted Base Rate in effect from
time to time plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Maximum Rate, payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month, provided that during the continuance of an Event of Default, Base Rate Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal at all times to the lesser of (i) the rate required to be paid on such Advance immediately prior to the date on which such Event of Default commenced plus two percent (2%) and (ii) the Maximum Rate. 
  
 (b) LIBOR Advances. If such Advance is a LIBOR
Advance, a rate per annum (computed on the actual number of days elapsed, including the first day and excluding the last, based on a 360 day year) equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Advance to the lesser of (i) the LIBOR for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Maximum Rate, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period, and on the date such LIBOR Advance shall be paid in full, and, with respect to LIBOR Advances having an Interest Period
in excess of one month, the numerically corresponding day to the initial day of such Interest Period in each calendar month during such Interest Period; provided, however, that if there is no numerically corresponding day in any such month or
if the Interest Period begins on the last Business 
  

 -32- 

 Day of a calendar month, interest shall be payable on the last Business Day of each calendar month during
the Interest Period; provided further that during the continuance of an Event of Default, LIBOR Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to the lesser of (i) the rate required to be paid on such Advance immediately
prior to the date on which such Event of Default commenced plus two percent (2%) and (ii) the Maximum Rate. 
  
 (c) Usury Recapture. In the event the rate of interest chargeable under this Agreement or the Notes at any time is greater than the
Maximum Rate, the unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest paid or accrued on the Notes equals the amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued on the Notes if the
stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In the event, upon payment in full of the Notes, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement and the Notes is less than the
total amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had, at all times, been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Banks an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of (A) the amount of interest which would have been charged on the Notes if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect and (B) the amount of interest which
would have accrued on the Notes if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement on the Notes. In the event the Banks ever receive,
collect or apply as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Notes, and if no such principal is then outstanding, such
excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the Borrower. 
  
 (d) Other Amounts Overdue. If any amount payable under this Agreement other than the Advances is not paid when due and payable, including without limitation, accrued interest and fees, then such overdue amount
shall accrue interest hereon due and payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus two percent (2%), from the date such amount became due until the date such amount is paid in full. 
  
 Section 2.07. Prepayments. 
  
 (a) Right to Prepay. The Borrower shall have no right to prepay any
principal amount of any Advance except as provided in this Section 2.07. 
  
 (b) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may elect to prepay any of the Advances, after giving by 12:00 Noon (Chicago, Illinois time) (i) in the case of LIBOR Advances, at least three Business Days’ prior
written notice or (ii) in case of Base Rate Advances, at least one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of such prepayment, and if applicable, the relevant
Interest Period for the Advances to be prepaid. If any such notice is given, the Borrower shall prepay Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part in an aggregate principal 
  

 -33- 

 amount equal to the amount specified in such notice, and with respect to LIBOR Advances shall also pay accrued interest
to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be
in an aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000. 
  
 (c) Ratable Payments. Each payment of any Advance pursuant to this Section 2.07 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be made in a manner
such that all Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing are paid in whole or ratably in part. 
  
 (d) Effect of Notice. All notices given pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower. 
  
 Section 2.08. Breakage Costs. If (a) any payment of principal of any
LIBOR Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance as a result of any payment pursuant to Section 2.07 or the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise; (b) any Conversion
of a LIBOR Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance pursuant to Section 2.12 or otherwise; or (c) the Borrower fails to make a principal or interest payment with respect to any LIBOR Advance on the date such
payment is due and payable, the Borrower shall, within 10 days of any written demand sent by any Bank to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank any amounts (without duplication of
any other amounts payable in respect of breakage costs) required to compensate such Bank for any losses (other than lost profit), out-of-pocket costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or nonpayment, including,
without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Bank to fund or maintain such Advance. 
  
 Section 2.09. Increased Costs. 
  
 (a) LIBOR Advances. If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of
imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the calculation of the LIBOR) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation enacted, issued or promulgated after the date of this Agreement or (ii) the compliance with any guideline
or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) enacted, issued or promulgated after the date of this Agreement, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Bank of agreeing to make or
making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Advances, then the Borrower shall from time to time, within 10 days of written demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Bank additional amounts (without duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of increased costs) sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, each Bank agrees to
use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate as to the amount of such 
  

 -34- 

 increased cost and detailing the calculation of such cost submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such
Bank at the time such Bank demands payment under this Section shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (b) Capital Adequacy. If any Bank or the Issuing Bank determines in good faith that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or
request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) enacted, issued or promulgated after the date of this Agreement affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Bank or the Issuing Bank and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Bank’s commitment to lend or the Issuing Bank’s commitment to issue Letters of Credit or any Bank’s
commitment to risk participate in Letters of Credit and other commitments of this type, then, upon 30 days prior written notice by such Bank or the Issuing Bank (with a copy of any such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall
immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank or to the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, from time to time as specified by such Bank or the Issuing Bank, additional amounts (without duplication of any other amounts
payable in respect of increased costs) sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Issuing Bank, in light of such circumstances, (i) with respect to such Bank, to the extent that such Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable
to the existence of such Bank’s commitment to lend under this Agreement or its commitment to risk participate in Letters of Credit and (ii) with respect to the Issuing Bank, to the extent that such Issuing Bank reasonably determines such
increase in capital to be allocable to the issuance or maintenance of the Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts and detailing the calculation of such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Bank or the
Issuing Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (c) Letters of Credit. If any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof enacted, issued or
promulgated after the date of this Agreement shall either (i) impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of,
Issuing Bank or any Bank or (ii) impose on Issuing Bank or any Bank any other condition regarding the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Letters of Credit or any Letter of Credit Obligations, and the result of any event referred to in the
preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to increase the cost to Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or increase the cost to such Bank of its risk participation in any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost shall be
determined by Issuing Bank’s or such Bank’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such event), then, within 10 days of written demand by Issuing Bank or such Bank (with a copy sent to the
Administrative Agent), as the case may be, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank or Bank, as the case may be, from time to time as specified by Issuing Bank or such Bank, additional amounts which shall be
sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Bank for such increased cost. Issuing Bank and each Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a
different Applicable Lending Office for the booking of its Letters of Credit or risk participations if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the reasonable judgment of Issuing Bank or such Bank, be

  

 -35- 

 otherwise disadvantageous to Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be. A certificate as to such increased cost
incurred by Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, as a result of any event mentioned in clause (i) or (ii) above, and detailing the calculation of such increased costs submitted by Issuing Bank or such Bank to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 Section 2.10. Payments and Computations. 
  
 (a) Payment Procedures. Except if otherwise set forth herein, the Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and under the Notes not later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago, Illinois time) on the day when due
in Dollars to the Administrative Agent without setoff, deduction or counterclaim at the location referred to in the Notes (or such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Borrower) in same day funds. The
Administrative Agent will on the same day such payment is deemed received from the Borrower cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable solely to the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Banks, or a specific Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(b), 2.03(c), 2.03(d), 2.06(c), 2.08, 2.09, 2.11, 2.12, or 2.13(c) but after taking into account payments effected pursuant to Section 10.04) to the Banks in accordance with each
Bank’s Pro Rata Share for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Bank or Issuing Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case
to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If and to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall not have so made payment to a Bank on the day required under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees to immediately pay
such Bank such payment, together with interest on such amount, for each day from the date such amount was deemed received by the Administrative Agent until the date such amount is paid to such Bank at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day.

  
 (b) Computations. All computations of interest based on
the Adjusted Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 days and all computations of fees and interest based on the LIBOR and the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a
year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest
rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (c) Non-Business Day Payments. Whenever any payment shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall
in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of LIBOR Advances to be made in the next following
calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. 
  
 (d) Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks that the Borrower will not make
such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may 
  

 -36- 

 assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative
Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank, together with interest, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount
to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day. 
  
 (e) Application of Payments. Unless otherwise specified in Section 2.07 hereof, whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due
and payable under this Agreement and the Notes, such payment shall be distributed and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Banks in the following order: first, to the payment of fees and expenses due and payable to the Administrative
Agent under and in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document and the payment of fees and expenses due and payable to the Syndication Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Bank under Section 10.04, ratably among such parties in
accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed to each such party; second, to the payment of all expenses due and payable under Section 2.11(c), ratably among the Banks in accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed
to each such Bank; third, to the payment of fees due and payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(b); fourth, to the payment of all other fees due and payable under Section 2.03; fifth, to the payment of the interest
accrued on all of the Notes and the interest accrued on Letter of Credit Obligations, ratably among the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; and sixth, to the payment of the principal amount of all of the Notes and all
other Letter of Credit Obligations, regardless of whether any such amount is then due and payable, ratably among the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
  
 (f) Register. The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Commitment and the Advances from time to time
of each Bank and each repayment or prepayment in respect to the principal amount of such Advances of each Bank. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Bank, absent manifest error; provided however, that
failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect of such Advances. 
  

Section 2.11. Taxes. 
  
 (a) No Deduction for Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrower shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.10, free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank, Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed
on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision of such jurisdiction or by the
jurisdiction of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision of such jurisdiction (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being 
  

 -37- 

 hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from
or in respect of any sum payable to any Bank, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 2.11), such Bank, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; provided, however, that if the
Borrower’s obligation to deduct or withhold Taxes is caused solely by such Bank’s, Issuing Bank’s, or the Administrative Agent’s failure to provide the forms described in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.11 and such Bank, Issuing
Bank, or the Administrative Agent could have provided such forms, no such increase shall be required; (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions; and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. 
  
 (b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes, or the other Credit Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c) Indemnification. Subject to the proviso of Section 2.11(a), the Borrower indemnifies each Bank, Issuing Bank, and
the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 2.11) paid by such Bank, Issuing Bank, or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Each payment required to be made by
the Borrower in respect of this indemnification shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any party claiming such indemnification within 30 days from the date the Borrower receives written demand detailing the calculation of such
amounts therefor from the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself as Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, or any such Bank. If any Bank, the Administrative Agent, or Issuing Bank receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the
Borrower under this paragraph (c), such Bank, the Administrative Agent, or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall promptly pay to the Borrower the Borrower’s share of such refund. 
  
 (d) Evidence of Tax Payments. The Borrower will pay prior to delinquency all Taxes and Other Taxes payable in respect
of any payment. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of such Taxes
or Other Taxes. 
  
 (e) Foreign Bank Withholding Exemption.
Each Bank and each Issuing Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date of this Agreement or upon the
effectiveness of any Assignment and Acceptance two duly completed copies of the Prescribed Forms, certifying in each case that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this 
  

 -38- 

 Agreement and the Notes payable to it, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each
Bank which delivers to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a Prescribed Form further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of a replacement Prescribed Form, on or before the date that any such
Prescribed Form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may
reasonably be requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certifying that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. If an event (including
without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any delivery required by the preceding sentence would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent any Bank
from duly completing and delivering any such Prescribed Form with respect to it and such Bank advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States
federal income tax, such Bank shall not be required to deliver such forms. The Borrower shall withhold tax at the rate and in the manner required by the laws of the United States with respect to payments made to a Bank failing to timely provide the
requisite Prescribed Forms. 
  
 Section 2.12. Illegality.
If any Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Legal Requirement makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that
it is unlawful for such Bank or its LIBOR Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to maintain any LIBOR Advances of such Bank then outstanding hereunder, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower
shall, if demanded by such Bank by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago, Illinois time), (a) if not prohibited by Legal Requirement to maintain such LIBOR Advances for the duration of the Interest
Period, on the last day of the Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Advance of such Bank or (b) if prohibited by Legal Requirement to maintain such LIBOR Advances for the duration of the Interest Period, on the second Business Day following
its receipt of such notice from such Bank, Convert all LIBOR Advances of such Bank then outstanding to Base Rate Advances, and pay accrued interest on the principal amount Converted to the date of such Conversion and amounts, if any, required to be
paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such Conversion being made on such date. Each Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different
Applicable Lending Office if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. 
  
 Section 2.13. Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) Issuance. From time to time from the date of this Agreement until
three months before the Maturity Date, at the request of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank shall, on any Business Day and on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, issue, increase, decrease, amend, or extend the Expiration Date of Letters of
Credit for the account of the Borrower (for its own benefit or for the benefit of any of its Subsidiaries). No Letter of Credit will be issued, 
  

 -39- 

 increased, or extended (i) if such issuance, increase, or extension would cause the Letter of Credit Exposure to exceed
the lesser of (x) 10% of the Total Commitments or (y) an amount equal to (A) the Total Commitments less (B) the aggregate outstanding Advances and Letter of Credit Exposure at such time; (ii) unless such Letter of Credit has an Expiration
Date not later than the earlier of (A) one year after the date of issuance thereof (unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent in writing to a later date) and (B) on or prior to the Maturity Date; (iii) unless the face amount of such
Letter of Credit is equal to or greater than $100,000 and such Letter of Credit is otherwise in form and substance acceptable to the respective Issuing Bank; (iv) unless such Letter of Credit is a standby letter of credit; (v) unless the Borrower
has delivered to the respective Issuing Bank the completed and executed Letter of Credit Documents (other than the Letter of Credit) on such Issuing Bank’s standard form, which shall contain terms no more restrictive than the terms of this
Agreement; (vi) unless such Letter of Credit is governed by the International Standby Practices (1998) (“ISP”) or any successor to the ISP; and (vii) unless no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the issuance
of such Letter of Credit. If the terms of any of the Letter of Credit Documents referred to in the foregoing clause (v) conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 
  
 (b) Participations. On the date of the issuance or increase of any
Letter of Credit in accordance with provisions of the preceding Section 2.13(a), each Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each other Bank and each other Bank shall have been deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank a participation in
the Letter of Credit Exposure related to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank equal to such Bank’s Pro Rata Share at such date and such sale and purchase shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each
Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each such participant Bank by telex, telephone, or telecopy of each Letter of Credit of such Issuing Bank issued, increased or decreased, and the actual dollar amount of such Bank’s participation in such
Letter of Credit. Each Bank’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section and to reimburse the respective Issuing Bank for such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of any payment under a Letter of Credit by such Issuing Bank
not reimbursed in full by the Borrower shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any of the circumstances described in paragraph (d) below, (ii) the occurrence and
continuance of a Default, (iii) an adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or (iv) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, except for any such
circumstance, happening or event constituting or arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank. 
  
 (c) Reimbursement. The Borrower shall pay promptly on demand to each Issuing Bank in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank
an amount equal to any amount paid by such Issuing Bank under or in respect of such Letter of Credit. In the event any Issuing Bank makes a payment pursuant to a request for draw presented under a Letter of Credit and such payment is not promptly
reimbursed by the Borrower upon demand, such Issuing Bank shall give notice of such payment to the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and each Bank shall promptly reimburse such Issuing Bank for such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such payment, and
such reimbursement shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to constitute a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower from such Bank. If such reimbursement is not made by any Bank 
  

 -40- 

 to any Issuing Bank on the same day on which such Issuing Bank shall have made payment on any such draw, such Bank shall
pay interest thereon to such Issuing Bank for each such day from the date such payment should have been made until the date repaid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for each such day. The Borrower hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably authorizes, empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent and the Banks to record and otherwise treat each payment under a Letter of Credit not immediately reimbursed by the Borrower as a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances to the
Borrower. 
  
 (d) Obligations Unconditional. Except to the
extent provided in Section 2.13(e), the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of each Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, notwithstanding the following circumstances: 
  
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Documents; 
  
 (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Letter of Credit Documents; 
  
 (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other
right which the Borrower or any Bank or any other Person may have at any time against any beneficiary or transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the respective Issuing
Bank or any other Person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or in any Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; 
  
 (iv) any statement or any other document presented under
such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect to the extent the respective Issuing Bank would not be liable therefor pursuant to the
following paragraph (e); 
  
 (v) payment by the
respective Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or 
  
 (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

  
 (e) Liability of Issuing Banks. The Borrower assumes
all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. No Issuing Bank, nor any other Bank, nor any of their respective officers or directors shall be liable or
responsible for: 
  
 (i) the use which may be
made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; 
  

 -41- 

 (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement
thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; 
  
 (iii) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including
failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the relevant Letter of Credit; or 
  
 (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit (including such Issuing
Bank’s own negligence); 
  
 except that the Borrower shall have a
claim against such Issuing Bank to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by (A) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining
whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (B) such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence in failing to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft
and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility
for further investigation. 
  
 (f) Cash Collateral. In the
event that any Letter of Credit remains outstanding on that date three (3) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall deposit into the Cash Collateral Account on or prior to such date an amount of cash equal to the outstanding
Letter of Credit Exposure as security for the Obligations to the extent the Letter of Credit Obligations are not otherwise paid at such time. 
  
 Section 2.14. Bank Replacement. 
  
 (a) Right to Replace. The Borrower shall have the right to replace each Bank affected by a condition under Section 2.02(c)(v), 2.09, 2.11, or 2.12
for more than 90 days (each such affected Bank, an “Affected Bank”) in accordance with the procedures in this Section 2.14 and provided that no reduction of the total Commitments occurs as a result thereof. 
  
 (b) First Right of Refusal; Replacement. (i) Upon the occurrence of
any condition permitting the replacement of a Bank, the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall have the right to reallocate the amount of the Commitments of the Affected Banks, including without limitation to Persons which are not already
party to this Agreement but which qualify as Eligible Assignees, which election shall be made by written notice within 30 days after the date such condition occurs. 
  
 (ii) If the aggregate amount of the reallocated Commitments is less than the Commitments of the Affected Banks, (A) the
respective Commitments of the Banks which have received such reallocated Commitments shall be increased by the respective amounts of their proposed reallocations, and (B) the Borrower shall have the right to add additional Banks which are Eligible
Assignees to this Agreement to replace such Affected Banks, which additional Banks would have aggregate Commitments no greater than those of the Affected Banks minus the amounts of the Commitments already reallocated. 
  

 -42- 

 (c) Procedure. Any assumptions of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be (i) made by
the purchasing Bank or Eligible Assignee and the selling Bank entering into an Assignment and Assumption and by following the procedures in Section 10.06 for adding a Bank. In connection with the reallocation of the Commitments of any Bank pursuant
to the foregoing paragraph (b), each Bank with a reallocated Commitment shall purchase from the Affected Banks at par such Bank’s ratable share of the outstanding Advances of the Affected Banks and assume such Bank’s ratable share of the
Affected Banks’ Letter of Credit Exposure. 
  
 Section
2.15. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of its Advances or its share of Letter of Credit Obligations in excess of
its Pro Rata Share of payments on account of the Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations obtained by all the Banks, such Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and forthwith purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Advances made
by them or Letter of Credit Obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement with each of them; provided, however, that if
all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from each Bank shall be rescinded and such Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of such Bank’s
ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of the participation sold by such Bank to the purchasing Bank as a result of such excess payment to (b) the total amount of such excess payment) of such recovery, together with an amount
equal to such Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such Bank’s required repayment to the purchasing Bank to (b) the total amount of all such required repayments to the purchasing Bank) of any interest or
other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by
Legal Requirement, unless and until rescinded as provided above, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount
of such participation.

of any federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other impositions. None of the Property owned by the Parent, the Borrower or any other member of a Controlled Group is Property which the Parent, the Borrower or any member of a Controlled Group is
required to be treated as being owned by any other Person pursuant to the provisions of Section 168(f)(8) of the Code. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by the Borrower and all members of each Controlled Group from their employees for
all periods to comply in all material respects with the tax, social security and unemployment withholding provisions of applicable federal, state, local and foreign law. Timely payment of all material sales and use taxes required by applicable law

of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) 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 or any
other Credit Document, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted
such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Issuing Bank’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, then the retiring
Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank may, on behalf of the Banks and the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank acceptable to the Borrower, which shall be a commercial bank meeting the financial requirements of an
Eligible Assignee and, in the case of an Issuing Bank, a Bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank by a successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, such successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, except that the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain an Issuing Bank with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding on the effective date of its
resignation or removal and the provisions affecting such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit shall inure to the benefit of the retiring Issuing Bank until the termination of all such Letters of Credit. After any retiring
Administrative Agent’s or Issuing Bank’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it

 Section 10.06. Bank Assignments and Participations. 
  
 (a) Assignments. Any Bank may assign to one or more banks or other

Obligations held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and shall involve a ratable assignment of such
Bank’s Commitment, such Bank’s Advances and such Bank’s participation in Letter of Credit Exposure, (ii) the amount of the resulting Commitment and Advances of the assigning Bank (unless it is assigning all its Commitment) and the
assignee Bank pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, (iii) each such

at least three Business Days after the execution thereof, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto for all purposes and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and (B) such Bank thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Bank may assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under the Credit Documents to any Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such assignment. 
  
 (b) Term of Assignments. By executing and delivering an Assignment and
Acceptance, the Bank thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such Bank makes no representation or warranty and
assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency of value of this Agreement or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the Guarantors or the performance or observance by
the Borrower or the Guarantors of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the
financial statements and filings under the Exchange Act referred to in Sections 4.06 and 5.05, if applicable, and such other documents and 
  

 -77- 

 information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and
Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such Bank or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement
are required to be performed by it as a Bank. 
  
 (c) The
Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and
the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any
Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of the attached Exhibit B, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof
to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note, a new Note payable to the order of such
Eligible Assignee in amount equal to, respectively, the Commitment and the outstanding Advances assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, and if the assigning Bank has retained any Commitment hereunder, a new Note payable to the
order of such Bank in an amount equal to, respectively, the Commitment and the outstanding Advances retained by it hereunder. Such new Note shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially
the form of the attached Exhibit A. 
  
 (e) Participations.
Each Bank may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it, its
participation interest in the Letter of Credit Obligations, and the Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder)
shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Bank shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Issuing Banks and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under 
  

 -78- 

 this Agreement, and (v) such Bank shall not require the participant’s consent to any matter under this Agreement,
except for change in the principal amount of any Note in which the participant has an interest, reductions in fees or interest, or extending the Maturity Date except as permitted in this Agreement. The Borrower hereby agrees that participants shall
have the same rights under Sections 2.08, 2.09, and 2.11(c) hereof as the Bank to the extent of their respective participations, provided that no participant shall be able to collect in excess of amounts payable to the Bank selling to such
participant under such Sections in respect of the interest sold to such participant or to collect any such amounts from the Borrower. 
  
 (f) Confidentiality. Each Bank may furnish any information concerning the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the possession of such Bank from time to
time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants); provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree in writing to preserve the
confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries received by it from or on behalf of such Bank in accordance with Section 10.20. Such Bank shall promptly deliver a signed copy of any such confidentiality
agreement to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 Section 10.07.
Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Banks (in any capacity or title and including any lender which was a Bank hereunder prior to any full assignment of its Commitment), the Issuing Banks, and each
affiliate thereof and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from, and discharge, release, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims or damages to which any of them may become subject,
insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims or damages arise out of or result from (i) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower of the proceeds of any Advance, (ii) any breach by the Borrower or any Guarantor of
any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (iii) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (including any threatened investigation or proceeding) relating to the foregoing, or (iv) any Environmental Claim or requirement of
Environmental Laws concerning or relating to the present or previously-owned or operated properties, or the operations or business, of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, each Issuing
Bank, and each Bank, and each affiliate thereof and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, upon demand for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with any such investigation,
litigation or other proceeding; and expressly including any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, or expense incurred by reason of the Person being indemnified’s own negligence, but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages
or expenses incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. 
  
 Section 10.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
  
 Section 10.09. Survival of Representations, Indemnifications, etc. All representations, warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing
by or on behalf of the Borrower in 
  

 -79- 

 connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Credit Documents, the making of
the Advances and any investigation made by or on behalf of the Banks, none of which investigations shall diminish any Bank’s right to rely on such representations and warranties. All obligations of the Borrower provided for in Sections 2.08,
2.09, 2.11(c), 9.05 and 10.07 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations. 
  
 Section 10.10. Severability. In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby. 
  
 Section 10.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Notes and the
other Credit Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto. 
  
 Section 10.12. Usury Not Intended. It is the intent of the Borrower
and each Bank in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of each Bank including such
applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States of America from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, the Banks and the Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the
other Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall
include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts
taken, reserved, charged, received or paid on the Advances, include amounts which by applicable law are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and each Bank receiving same shall credit
the same on the principal of its Notes (or if such Notes shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to the Borrower). In the event that the maturity of the Notes is accelerated by reason of any election of the holder thereof resulting from any
Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the Maximum Rate and excess interest, if any, provided for in
this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the applicable Notes (or, if the applicable Notes shall have been paid in full, refunded to
the Borrower). In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrower and the Banks shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate
and spread in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Notes all amounts considered to be interest under applicable law at any time contracted for, charged, received or reserved in connection with the Obligations. The provisions
of this Section shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith.

this Agreement and sell its Obligations contemplated hereby, which Obligations are owned by the relevant Departing Bank free and clear of all liens), and upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1 hereof the Banks
hereby agree to purchase, 100% of each such Departing Bank’s outstanding Obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement and the Credit Documents for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal balance of Loans and accrued but unpaid
interest and fees owed to the relevant Departing Bank under the Prior Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date, which purchase price shall be paid in immediately available funds on the Closing Date. Such purchases and sales shall be arranged through
the Administrative Agent and the Departing Banks hereby agree to execute such further instruments and documents, if any, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by
each of the Departing Banks, the Banks, and the Borrower and the payment of the Obligations owing to the Departing Banks, the Departing Banks shall cease to be Banks and (i) the Banks shall have the rights of the Departing Banks under the Credit
Documents subject to the terms and conditions hereof and (ii) the Departing Banks shall have relinquished their rights (other than rights to indemnification and reimbursements referred to in the Prior Credit Agreement which survive the repayment of
the Obligations owed to the Departing Banks in accordance with its terms) and be released from their obligations as Banks. The parties hereto agree that, except as provided for in the preceding sentence, all references in the Credit Documents to the
Banks or any Bank shall from and after the date hereof no longer include the Departing Banks.

Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding as the initial Borrowing of Loans and Letters of Credit under this Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Banks each agree to make such purchases and sales of interests in the outstanding Loans and interests in
outstanding Letters of Credit between themselves so that each Bank is then holding its Pro Rata Share of outstanding Loans and interests in Letters of Credit. Such purchases and sales shall be arranged through the Administrative Agent and each Bank
hereby agrees to execute such further instruments and documents, if any, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith.

 This Guaranty and Contribution Agreement (this “Agreement”)
is made and entered into effective for all purposes as of the 9th day of June, 2005, by the parties signatory hereto
or to an Accession Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, the “Guarantor” whether one or more) to and for the benefit of BANK OF MONTREAL, CHICAGO

 INTRODUCTION 
  
 WHEREAS, LASALLE HOTEL OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the “Borrower”), the Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent, and the banks and other lenders party thereto (collectively the “Banks”) have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Senior
Unsecured Credit Agreement dated as of June 9, 2005 (such Amended and Restated Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time, including further amendments and restatements thereof in its entirety, being
hereinafter referred to as the “Credit Agreement”), which amends and restates that Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement dated as of November 20, 2003, by and among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Fleet National Bank, as
Syndication Agent, and the banks and other lenders party thereto (the “Original Credit Agreement”); 
  
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement the Banks have agreed to extend credit to Borrower as more specifically described therein;

  
 WHEREAS, the Borrower is the principal
financing entity for capital requirements of its Subsidiaries, and from time to time the Borrower has made and will continue to make capital contributions and advances to its Subsidiaries, including the Subsidiaries which are or will become parties
hereto. Other than the Parent, each Guarantor is a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Borrower. Each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement; and 
  
 WHEREAS, as a condition to amending and restating the Original
Credit Agreement and extending credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the Banks have required, among other things, that the Guarantor execute and deliver this Agreement. 

 AGREEMENT 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Banks to make the Advances and the Issuing Bank to
issue its Letters of Credit, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows: 
  
 SECTION 1. DEFINED TERMS. 
  
 All terms used in this Agreement, but not defined herein, shall have the meaning given such terms in the Credit Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 2. GUARANTY. 
  
 Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise,
of all obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement, the Notes and any other Credit Document, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses, or otherwise (such obligations being the “Guaranteed
Obligations”) and any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, the Second Arranger, or any Bank in enforcing any rights under this
Agreement. Each Guarantor agrees that its guaranty obligation under this Agreement is a guarantee of payment, not of collection and that such Guarantor is primarily liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
  
 SECTION 3. LIMIT OF LIABILITY.

  
 Each Guarantor that is a Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be
liable under this Agreement with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations only for amounts aggregating up to the largest amount that would not render its guaranty obligation hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any state law. 
  
 SECTION 4. GUARANTY ABSOLUTE. 
  
 Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the Participating Leases, as
applicable, regardless of any law, regulation, or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, the Second Arranger, the Banks
or the Participating Lessees with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: 
  
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Participating Lease or any other
agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
  
 (b)
any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Credit Agreement, any Credit Document or any Participating
Lease; 
  

 -2- 

 (c) any exchange, release, or nonperfection of any collateral, if applicable, or any
release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other agreement or guaranty, for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or 
  
 (d) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of the Borrower or a Guarantor.

  
 SECTION 5. CONTINUATION AND
REINSTATEMENT, ETC. 
  
 Each
Guarantor agrees that, to the extent that the Borrower makes payments to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, the Second Arranger or any Bank or the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, the
Second Arranger or any Bank receives any proceeds of any property of Borrower or any Guarantor and such payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or otherwise
required to be repaid, then to the extent of such repayment the Guaranteed Obligations shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial payment or collection of proceeds occurred. The Guarantor shall defend and
indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, Second Arranger and each Bank from and against any claim or loss under this Section 5 (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in the defense of any such
action or suit. 
  
 SECTION 6. CERTAIN
WAIVERS. 
  
 Section 6.01. Notice. Each
Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Agreement. 
  
 Section 6.02. Other Remedies. Each Guarantor hereby waives any
requirement that the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, the Second Arranger or any Bank protect, secure, perfect, or insure any Lien or any Property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the
Borrower or any other Person or any collateral, if any, including any action required pursuant to a Legal Requirement. 
  
 Section 6.03. Waiver of Subrogation. 
  
 (a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and termination of all Commitments, any claim or other
rights which it may acquire against the Borrower that arise from such Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation (including, without limitation, any
statutory rights of subrogation under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §509, or otherwise), reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent,
the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, Second Arranger or any Bank against the Borrower or any collateral which the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, Second Arranger or any Bank now has or acquires. If any amount
shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the 
  

 -3- 

 preceding sentence and the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full and all of the Commitments terminated,
such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, Second Arranger or any Bank and shall promptly be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Administrative Agent,
the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, Second Arranger and the Banks to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as the Administrative Agent may elect. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and
indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section 6.03(a) is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
  
 (b) Each Guarantor further agrees that it will not enter into any agreement
providing, directly or indirectly, for any contribution, reimbursement, repayment, or indemnity by the Borrower or any other Person on account of any payment by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger,
Second Arranger or the Banks under this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 7.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. 
  
 Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows: 
  
 Section 7.01. Corporate Authority. Such Guarantor is either a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization. The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Agreement are within such Guarantor’s organizational powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action and do not
contravene (a) such Guarantor’s organizational authority or (b) any law or material contractual restriction affecting such Guarantor or its Property. 
  
 Section 7.02. Government Approval. No authorization or approval or other action by and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is
required for the due execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Agreement. 
  
 Section 7.03. Binding Obligations. This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms subject to the effect of any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar law affecting creditors’ rights (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

 -4- 

 SECTION 9. CONTRIBUTION. 
  
 As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, each of the Guarantors will benefit, directly and
indirectly, from the Guaranteed Obligations and in consideration thereof desire to enter into a contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section 9 to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable
arrangement to make contributions in the event any payment is made by any Guarantor hereunder to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, Second Arranger or the Banks (such payment being referred to herein as a
“Contribution,” and for purposes of this Agreement, includes any exercise of recourse by the Administrative Agent against any Property of a Guarantor and application of proceeds of such Property in satisfaction of such Guarantor’s
obligations under this Agreement). The Guarantors hereby agree as follows: 
  
 Section 9.01. Calculation of Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors in the event any Contribution is made by a Guarantor (a “Funding
Guarantor”), such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from certain other Guarantors for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in the manner
and to the extent set forth in this Section. The amount of any Contribution under this Agreement shall be equal to the payment made by the Funding Guarantor to the Administrative Agent or any other beneficiary pursuant to this Agreement and shall be
determined as of the date on which such payment is made. 
  
 Section 9.02. Benefit Amount Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Benefit Amount” of any Guarantor as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Guarantor and all of its
Subsidiaries (including any Subsidiaries which may be Guarantors) from extensions of credit made by the Banks to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the benefit of entering into the Participating Leases; provided, that in determining
the contribution liability of any Guarantor which is a Subsidiary to its direct or indirect parent corporation or of any Guarantor to its direct or indirect Subsidiary, the Benefit Amount of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries, if any, shall be
subtracted in determining the Benefit Amount of the parent corporation. Such benefits shall include benefits of funds constituting proceeds of Advances made to the Borrower by the Banks which are in turn advanced or contributed by the Borrower to
such Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and benefits of Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement on behalf of, or the proceeds of which are advanced or contributed or otherwise benefit, directly or indirectly, such Guarantor and its
Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Benefits”). In the case of any proceeds of Advances or Benefits advanced or contributed to a Person (an “Owned Entity”) any of the equity interests of which are owned directly or
indirectly by a Guarantor, the Benefit Amount of a Guarantor with respect thereto shall be that portion of the net value of the benefits attributable to Advances or Benefits equal to the direct or indirect percentage ownership of such Guarantor in
its Owned Entity. 
  
 Section 9.03. Contribution
Obligation. Each Guarantor shall be liable to a Funding Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the (i) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such 
  

 -5- 

 Guarantor to the total amount of Guaranteed Obligations, multiplied by (ii) the amount of Guaranteed Obligations paid by
such Funding Guarantor and (B) 95% of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent
liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Guarantor is deemed made for purposes of this Agreement (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount
of such contributions). 
  
 Section 9.04. Allocation. In
the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Guarantor with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then payment from other Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement shall be
allocated among such Funding Guarantors in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the Borrower by each such Funding Guarantor pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any time any Guarantor
pays an amount under this Agreement in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to clause (A) of Subsection 9.03 above, that Guarantor shall be deemed to be a Funding Guarantor to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to contribution from
the other Guarantors in accordance with the provisions of this Section. 
  
 Section 9.05. Subsidiary Payment. The amount of contribution payable under this Section by any Guarantor shall be reduced by the amount of any contribution paid hereunder by a Subsidiary of such Guarantor. 
  
 Section 9.06. Equitable Allocation. If as a result of any
reorganization, recapitalization, or other corporate change in the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or as a result of any amendment, waiver or modification of the terms and conditions of other Sections of this Agreement or the Guaranteed
Obligations, or for any other reason, the contributions under this Section become inequitable as among the Guarantors, the Guarantors shall promptly modify and amend this Section to provide for an equitable allocation of contributions. Any of the
foregoing modifications and amendments shall be in writing and signed by all Guarantors. 
  
 Section 9.07. Asset of Party to Which Contribution is Owing. The Guarantors acknowledge that the right to contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the Guarantor to which such contribution is
owing. 
  
 Section 9.08. Subordination. No payments payable
by a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Section 9 shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by the Borrower to any Bank, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Documents, are paid in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Section 9
shall affect the obligations of any Guarantor to any Bank under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Documents. 
  
 SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS. 
  
 Section 10.01. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing, including telegraphic
communication and delivered or teletransmitted to the Administrative Agent, as set forth in the Credit Agreement and to each Guarantor, at the address set forth under such Guarantor’s signature hereto or in the Accession 
  

 -6- 

 Agreement executed by such Guarantor, or to such other address as shall be designated by any Guarantor or the
Administrative Agent in written notice to the other parties. All such notices and other communications shall be effective when delivered or teletransmitted to the above addresses. 
  
 Section 10.02. Amendments, Etc. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any
Guarantor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrower and no amendment of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that any amendment or waiver releasing any Guarantor from any liability hereunder shall be signed by all the Banks; and provided
further that any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower hereafter is required
in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or otherwise agrees to become a guarantor of the Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Documents, then such Subsidiary or Affiliate may become a party to this Agreement by executing an
Accession Agreement (“Accession Agreement”) in the form attached hereto as Annex 1 and each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees that upon such Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s execution of such Accession
Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended to make such Person a Guarantor hereunder for all purposes and a party hereto and no signature is required on behalf of the other Guarantors or the Administrative Agent to make such an
amendment to this Agreement effective. 
  
 Section 10.03. No
Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, Second Arranger or any Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
  
 Section 10.04. Right of Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, Second Arranger and the Banks are hereby authorized at any time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and other indebtedness owing by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the First Arranger, Second Arranger or the Banks to the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the
