Subject to Section 2.3(b) hereof, the obligation of Borrowers to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for all drawings under a Letter of Credit (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) shall be governed by the Application related to such Letter of Credit and this Agreement, except that reimbursement shall be made by no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date when each drawing is to be paid if Borrower Representative has been informed of such drawing by such L/C Issuer on or before 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date when such drawing is to be paid or, if notice of such drawing is given to Borrower Representative after 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date when such drawing is to be paid, by the end of such day, in immediately available funds at the Agent’s principal office in Cincinnati, Ohio or such other office as the Agent may designate in writing to Borrower Representative, and the Agent shall thereafter cause to be distributed to such L/C Issuer such amount(s) in like funds; provided that Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have requested, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth in this Agreement, that such Reimbursement Obligation be financed with a Base Rate Revolving Loan or Swing Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Revolving Loan or Swing Loan; provided that Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have requested, subject to the conditions to borrowing set

forth in this Agreement, that such Reimbursement Obligation be financed with a Base Rate Revolving Loan or Swing Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Revolving Loan or Swing Loan. If Borrowers do not make any such reimbursement payment on the date due and the Participating Lenders fund their participations in the manner set forth in Section 2.3(d) below, then all payments thereafter received by the Agent in discharge of any of the relevant Reimbursement Obligations shall be distributed in accordance with Section 2.3(d) below. In addition, for the benefit of the Agent, each L/C Issuer and each Lender, each Borrower agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of any Application, its obligations under this Section 2.3(c) and each Application shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Applications, under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document; (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Loan Document; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom a beneficiary may be acting), the Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, another Loan Document, the transaction related to the Loan Document or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any statement or any other document presented under a 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; (v) payment by the Agent or a L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation to the Agent or a L/C Issuer of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, provided that the Agent’s or L/C Issuer’s determination that documents presented under the Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof did not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or L/C Issuer; or (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Agent or a L/C Issuer, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.3(c), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower’s obligations hereunder or under an Application; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Credit Party to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Credit Party that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable L/C Issuer (as determined by a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), such L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(d) The Participating Interests. Each Lender (other than the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) severally and not jointly agrees to purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer, and such

L/C Issuer hereby agrees to sell to each such Lender (a “Participating Lender”), an undivided participating interest (a “Participating Interest”) to the extent of its Applicable Percentage in each Letter of Credit issued by, and each Reimbursement Obligation owed to, such L/C Issuer. Upon any Borrower’s failure to pay any Reimbursement Obligation on the date and at the time required, or if any L/C Issuer is required at any time to return to any Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any portion of any payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, each Participating Lender shall, not later than the Business Day it receives a certificate in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto from such L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) to such effect, if such certificate is received before 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time), or not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) the following Business Day, if such certificate is received after such time, pay to the Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer an amount equal to such Participating Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such unpaid Reimbursement Obligation together with interest on such amount accrued from the date such L/C Issuer made the related payment to the date of such payment by such Participating Lender at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date such L/C Issuer made the related payment to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Participating Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Participating Lender to the date such payment is made by such Participating Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. Each such Participating Lender shall, after making its appropriate payment, be entitled to receive its Applicable Percentage of each payment received in respect of the relevant Reimbursement Obligation and of interest paid thereon, with the applicable L/C Issuer retaining its Applicable Percentage thereof as a Lender hereunder.

The several obligations of the Participating Lenders to the L/C Issuers under this Section 2.3 shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Participating Lender may have or has had against any Borrower, any L/C Issuer, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender, and each payment by a Participating Lender under this Section 2.3 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Indemnification. The Participating Lenders shall, to the extent of their respective Applicable Percentages, indemnify each L/C Issuer (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction) that such L/C Issuer may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it. The obligations of the Participating Lenders under this Section 2.3(e) and all other parts of this Section 2.3 shall survive termination of this Agreement and of all Applications, Letters of Credit, and all drafts and other documents presented in connection with drawings thereunder.

(f) Manner of Requesting a Letter of Credit. Borrower Representative shall provide at least three (3) Business Days’ advance written notice to the Agent (or such lesser notice as the Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in their sole discretion) of each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each such notice to be accompanied by a properly

completed and executed Application for the requested Letter of Credit and, in the case of an extension or amendment or an increase in the amount of a Letter of Credit, a written request therefor, in a form acceptable to the Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer, in each case, together with the fees called for by this Agreement. The Agent shall promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer of the Agent’s receipt of each such notice and such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Agent and the Lenders of the issuance of a Letter of Credit.

Section 2.4 Applicable Interest Rates.

(a) Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or created by conversion from a Eurodollar Loan or Daily Floating LIBOR Loan until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(b) Eurodollar Loans. Each Eurodollar Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced, continued or created by conversion from a Base Rate Loan or Daily Floating LIBOR Loan until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted LIBOR applicable for such Interest Period, payable in arrears on the last day of the Interest Period and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, if the applicable Interest Period is longer than three (3) months, on each day occurring every three (3) months after the commencement of such Interest Period.

(c) Daily Floating LIBOR Loans. Each Daily Floating LIBOR Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or created by conversion from a Eurodollar Loan or Base Rate Loan until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Daily Floating LIBOR from time to time in effect, payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(d) Default Rate. While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration of the Loans, Borrowers shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Loans owing by them at a rate per annum equal to:

(i) for any Base Rate Loan (including any Swing Loan), the sum of two percent (2.0%) per annum plus the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;

(ii) for any Eurodollar Loan, the sum of two percent (2.0%) per annum plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of two percent (2.0%) plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect; and

(iii) for any Daily Floating LIBOR Loan, the sum of two percent (2.0%) per annum plus the Applicable Margin plus the Daily Floating LIBOR from time to time in effect;

provided, however, that in the absence of acceleration of the Loans, any increase in interest rates pursuant to this Section shall be made at the election of the Agent, acting at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders, with written notice to Borrower Representative. While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration of the Loans, accrued interest shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders.

(e) Rate Determinations. The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations hereunder, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of demonstrable error.

Section 2.5 Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates; Funding.

(a) Notice to the Agent. Borrower Representative shall give notice to the Agent by no later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time): (i) with respect to Revolving Loans, (x) at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which Borrower Representative requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans and (y) on the date Borrower Representative requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, (ii) and with respect to Term Loans, (x) at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which Borrower Representative requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, Eurodollar Loans and/or of Base Rate Loans (provided, however, that no such request for any Term Loan shall be made at a time when there exists a Default or Event of Default), in each case which notice shall specify the type of such proposed Borrowing. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified in such notice. Thereafter, with respect to all such Loans, Borrower Representative may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to Section 2.6 hereof, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrower Representative may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans or (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, on any Business Day, Borrower Representative may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by Borrower Representative. Borrower Representative shall give all such notices requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to the Agent by telephone or telecopy (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (Notice of Borrowing) or Exhibit C (Notice of Continuation/Conversion), as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Agent. Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans into Eurodollar Loans

must be given by no later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each Borrower agrees that the Agent may rely on any such telephonic or telecopy notice given by any Person the Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative of Borrower Representative without the necessity of independent investigation (each Borrower hereby indemnifies the Agent from any liability or loss ensuing from such reliance other than any liability or loss incurred as a result of Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction) and, in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if the Agent has acted in reliance thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Swing Loans shall be Base Rate Loans and may not be converted or continued.

(b) Notice to the Lenders. The Agent shall give prompt telephonic or telecopy notice to each Lender of any notice from Borrower Representative received pursuant to Section 2.5(a) above and, if such notice requests the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans, the Agent shall give notice to Borrower Representative and each Lender of the interest rate applicable thereto promptly after the Agent has made such determination.

(c) Borrower Representative’s Failure to Notify; Automatic Continuations and Conversions. If Borrower Representative fails to give proper notice of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 2.5(a) or, whether or not such notice has been given, one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 for the continuation or conversion of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans would not be satisfied, and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 2.8(a), such Borrowing shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan. In the event Borrower Representative fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.5(a) of a Borrowing equal to the amount of a Reimbursement Obligation and has not notified the Agent by 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the day such Reimbursement Obligation becomes due that it intends to repay such Reimbursement Obligation through funds not borrowed under this Agreement, Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Agent, under the Swing Line) under the Revolving Credit on such day in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then due, which Borrowing shall be applied to pay the Reimbursement Obligation then due.

(d) Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing, subject to Section 3 hereof, each Lender shall make available its Loan comprising part of such Borrowing in funds immediately available at the principal office of the Agent in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Agent shall make the proceeds of each new Borrowing available to Borrower Representative by deposit into a non-interest bearing, disbursement funding account maintained at the Agent (the “Funding Account”); provided that Base Rate Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of a Reimbursement Obligation shall be remitted by the Agent to the applicable L/C Issuer.

(e) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, four (4) hours prior to the proposed time of such Borrowing and (y) otherwise, prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.5 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Daily Floating LIBOR Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower Representative the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent.

(f) Certain Calculations. For the purposes of calculating interest and fees, determining Revolving Loan Availability, all Remittances and other proceeds of Accounts and other Collateral deposited into any collection account shall be credited (conditional on final collection) against the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.15 hereof as funds become collected and available in accordance with Agent’s designated funds availability policies from time to time in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, on the Second Restatement Closing Date, the Agent’s designated funds availability policy is as follows: the Agent shall, (i) within two (2) Business Days after receipt by the Agent at its identified collection office of checks, (ii) within one (1) Business Day of receipt by the Agent at its identified collection office of cash by ACH or other immediately available funds, and (iii) within the same Business Day upon receipt by the Agent at its identified collection office of cash by wire transfer, apply the whole or any part of such collections or Proceeds against the Revolving Loans and Swing Loans and other Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.6 Minimum Borrowing Amounts; Maximum Eurodollar Loans. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans advanced under a Credit shall be in an amount not less than $100,000 (other than Swing Loans) or such greater amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000. Each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans advanced, continued or converted under a Credit shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or such greater amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000. Without the Agent’s consent, there shall not be more than four (4) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding at any one time.

Section 2.7 Maturity of Loans.

(a) Repayment of Draw Term Loans. The outstanding principal balance of the Draw Term Loans shall be repaid at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum straight-line amortization determined based upon the aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of the Draw Term Loans, which installments shall be payable on the last Business Day of the first full calendar quarter immediately following the initial drawing of any Draw Term Loans and the last Business Day of each calendar quarter thereafter; provided that any remaining outstanding principal balance of the Draw Term Loans shall be repaid on the Draw Term Loan Maturity Date; provided further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the amortization amount determined above for Draw Term Loans shall increase with each Borrowing of Draw Term Loans. Each principal payment on the Draw Term Loans shall be applied to the Lenders holding the Draw Term Loans pro rata based upon their Draw Term Loan Percentages.

(b) Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Loan, both for principal and interest, shall mature and become due and payable by Borrowers on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

Section 2.8 Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary. Borrowers may prepay without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 8.1 below) and in whole or in part any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans at any time upon three (3) Business Days’ prior notice by Borrower Representative to the Agent or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, notice delivered by Borrower Representative to the Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date of prepayment, such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any Term Loans or Eurodollar Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment plus any amounts due the Lenders under Section 8.1; provided, however, Borrowers may not partially repay a Borrowing (i) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, in a principal amount less than $100,000, (ii) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, in a principal amount less than $1,000,000, and (iii) in each case, unless such Borrowing is in an amount such that the minimum amount required for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.6 remains outstanding. Any such voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied on a pro rata basis against the remaining installments of principal of the Term Loans until the Term Loans are repaid in full.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) If any Credit Party or any Subsidiary shall at any time or from time to time make or agree to make a Disposition or shall suffer an Event of Loss resulting in Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $250,000 individually or on a cumulative basis in any fiscal year of Credit Parties, then (x) Borrower Representative shall promptly notify the Agent of such proposed Disposition or Event of Loss (including the amount of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds to be received by such Credit Party or such Subsidiary in respect thereof) and (y) promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) upon receipt by any Credit Party or the Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition or such Event of Loss, Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of all such Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $250,000; provided that in the case of each Disposition and Event of Loss, if Borrower

Representative states in its notice of such event that the applicable Credit Party or Subsidiary intends to invest or reinvest, as applicable, within one hundred eighty (180) days of the applicable Disposition or receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from an Event of Loss, the Net Cash Proceeds thereof in similar like-kind assets, then so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, Borrowers shall not be required to make a mandatory prepayment under this Section in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are actually invested or reinvested as described in Borrower Representative’s notice within such one hundred eighty (180) day period. Promptly after the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, Borrower Representative shall notify the Agent whether such Credit Party or such Subsidiary has invested or reinvested such Net Cash Proceeds as described in Borrower Representative’s notice, and to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds have not been so invested or reinvested, Borrowers shall promptly prepay the Obligations in the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so invested or reinvested. The amount of each such prepayment shall be applied first to the outstanding Draw Term Loans until paid in full (applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining principal amortization payments thereof), second to the outstanding Incremental Term Loans (if any) until paid in full (applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining principal amortization payments thereof) and, then to (in the order determined by Agent) the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations.

(ii) If after the Second Restatement Closing Date, any Credit Party or any Subsidiary shall incur or assume any Indebtedness (other than that permitted by Section 6.11 hereof), Borrower Representative shall promptly notify the Agent of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds of such incurrence or assumption to be received by or for the account of such Credit Party or such Subsidiary in respect thereof. Promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) upon receipt by such Credit Party or such Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds of such incurrence or assumption Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations in the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds. The amount of each such prepayment shall be applied first to the outstanding Draw Term Loans until paid in full (applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining principal amortization payments thereof), second to the outstanding Incremental Term Loans (if any) until paid in full (applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining principal amortization payments thereof) and, then to (in the order determined by Agent) the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Credit Party acknowledges that its performance hereunder shall not limit the rights and remedies of the Lenders for any breach of Section 6.11 or any other terms of this Agreement.

(iii) [Reserved].

(iv) Borrowers shall, (A) on each date the Revolving Credit Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.10, prepay first (in the order determined, without the necessity of demand by Agent), the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and, if necessary, prefund the L/C Obligations by the amount, if any, necessary to reduce the amount of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders then outstanding to the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments or the amounts to which the Revolving Credit Commitments have been so reduced and (B) on each date the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Exposures of all

Lenders then outstanding exceeds the lesser of (x) the Leverage Limit (as determined based on the most recent Compliance Certificate) minus the L/C Obligations and (y) the total Revolving Credit Commitments, prepay first (in the order determined by Agent), the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and, if necessary, prefund the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to such excess.

(v) [Reserved].

(vi) Unless Borrower Representative otherwise directs, prepayments of Loans under this Section 2.8(b) shall be applied first to Borrowings of Base Rate Loans and Daily Floating LIBOR Loans until payment in full thereof with any balance applied to Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans in the order in which their Interest Periods expire. Each prepayment of Loans under this Section 2.8(b) shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any Term Loans, Swing Loans or Eurodollar Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment together with any amounts due the Lenders under Section 8.1. Each prefunding of L/C Obligations shall be made in accordance with Section 7.4.

(c) Notice of Prepayment. The Agent will promptly advise each Lender of any notice of prepayment it receives from Borrower Representative, and in the case of any partial prepayment, such prepayment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining amortization payments on the relevant Loans.

Section 2.9 Place and Application of Payments. All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations, and of all other Obligations payable by Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be made by Borrowers to the Agent by no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the due date thereof at the office of the Agent in Cincinnati, Ohio (or such other location as the Agent may designate to Borrower Representative) for the benefit of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto. Any payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the next Business Day. All such payments shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds at the place of payment, in each case without set-off or counterclaim. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest on Loans and on Reimbursement Obligations in which the Lenders have purchased Participating Interests ratably to the Lenders and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or L/C Issuer, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) pursuant to the exercise of remedies under Sections 7.2 and 7.3 hereof or (y) after written instruction by the Required Lenders after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all payments and collections received in respect of the Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral received, in each instance, by the Agent or any of the Lenders shall be remitted to the Agent and distributed as follows:

(a) first, to the payment of any outstanding costs and expenses incurred by the Agent, and any security trustee therefor, in monitoring, verifying, protecting, preserving or enforcing the Liens on the Collateral, in protecting, preserving or enforcing rights under the Loan Documents, and in any event all costs and expenses of a character which Credit Parties have agreed to pay the Agent under Section 10.13 hereof (such funds to be retained by the Agent for its own account unless it has previously been reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Lenders, in which event such amounts shall be remitted to the Lenders to reimburse them for payments theretofore made to the Agent);

(b) second, to the payment of principal and interest on the Swing Loans until paid in full;

(d) fourth, to the payment of any outstanding interest and fees due under the Loan Documents to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof;

(e) fifth, to the payment of principal on the Loans (other than Swing Loans), unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, together with amounts to be held by the Agent as collateral security for any outstanding L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof (until the Agent is holding an amount of cash equal to the then outstanding amount of all such L/C Obligations), and Rate Management Obligations, the aggregate amount paid to, or held as collateral security for, the Lenders and, in the case of Rate Management Obligations, their Affiliates to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof;

(f) sixth to the payment of Banking Services Obligations and Rate Management Obligations;

(g) seventh, to the payment of all other unpaid Obligations and all other indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries secured by the Collateral Documents to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof; and

(h) eighth, to Borrowers or whoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto.

Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or such Guarantor’s assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Credit Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Rate Management Obligations and Banking Services Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if the Agent has not received written notice that describes in detail the Rate Management Obligations and Banking Services Obligations to be secured by the Collateral, together with such supporting documentation as the Agent may request, from the applicable Lender (other than Fifth Third). Any such Person not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 9 for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

No Rate Management Agreement or agreement in respect of Banking Services Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Person that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Borrower or any other Credit Party under the Loan Documents, except as expressly provided herein or in the other Loan Documents. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each such Person shall be deemed to have appointed the Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a holder of the Obligations, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.9. Furthermore, it is understood and agreed that each such Person, in their capacity as such, shall not have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral, or to any notice of or consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of the other Loan Documents) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in any case, only as expressly provided herein.

Section 2.10 Commitment Terminations. Borrower Representative shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the Draw Term Loan Commitments in whole or in part, any partial termination to be (i) in an amount not less than $500,000 or any greater amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and (ii) allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Applicable Percentages, provided that the Revolving Credit Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the amount of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders then outstanding. Any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments below the L/C Sublimit then in effect shall reduce the L/C Sublimit by a like amount. Any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments below the Swing Line Sublimit then in effect shall reduce the Swing Line Sublimit by a like amount. The Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of any such termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Draw Term Loan Commitments. Any termination of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.10 may not be reinstated.

Section 2.11 Swing Loans.

(a) Generally. The Agent and the Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, promptly after Borrower Representative requests a Base Rate Revolving Loan, the Agent and the applicable Swing Line Lender may elect to have the terms of this Section 2.11(a) apply to such Borrowing request by such Swing Line Lender advancing, on behalf of the Lenders and in the amount requested, same-day funds (each such Loan made solely by a Swing Line Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)

is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swing Loan”) to Borrowers on the applicable Borrowing date to the Funding Account, with settlement among the Lenders as to the Swing Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.11(d). Each Swing Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Base Rate Loans funded by the Lenders, except (i) as otherwise provided herein and (ii) that all payments thereon shall be payable to a Swing Line Lender solely for its own account. In addition, each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent in its capacity as a Swing Line Lender to, and such Swing Line Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further written notice required), not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time), on each Business Day, make available to the Borrowers by means of a credit to the Funding Account, the proceeds of a Swing Loan to the extent necessary to pay items to be drawn on the Controlled Disbursement Account that Business Day; provided that, if on any Business Day there is insufficient borrowing capacity to permit such Swing Line Lender to make available to Borrowers a Swing Loan in the amount necessary to pay all items to be so drawn on the Controlled Disbursement Account on such Business Day, then Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.2 in the amount of such deficiency to be made on such Business Day. The aggregate amount of Swing Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swing Line Sublimit. No Swing Line Lender shall make any Swing Loan if the requested Swing Loan exceeds Revolving Loan Availability (before giving effect to such Swing Loan). All Swing Loans shall be Base Rate Borrowings.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Participation. Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swing Loan, each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from each Swing Line Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Swing Line Lender may, at any time, require the Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swing Loan purchased hereunder, such Swing Line Lender shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by such Swing Line Lender in respect of such Swing Loan.

(d) Settlement. Each Swing Line Lender shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that such Swing Line Lender elects, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 12:00 noon (Eastern time) on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than a Swing Line Lender with respect to its Swing Loans) shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to such Swing Line Lender, to such account of such Swing Line Lender as such Swing Line Lender may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time), on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to such Swing Line Lender shall be applied against the amounts of such Swing Line Lender’s Swing Loans and, together with each Swing Line Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swing Loan,

shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to such Swing Line Lender by any Lender on such Settlement Date, such Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, as specified in Section 2.5.

Section 2.12 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) The Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the type thereof and, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from Borrowers and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

(d) The Borrowers covenant and agree, jointly and severally, to pay the Loans and other Obligations in accordance with this Agreement. The obligation of each Borrower to pay to each Lender the Loans and other Obligations hereunder shall be evidenced by this Agreement and, upon such Lender’s request, by a promissory note or notes in the forms of Exhibit D-1 (in the case of its Term Loans and referred to herein as a “Term Note”), D-2 (in the case of its Revolving Loans and referred to herein as a “Revolving Note”), or D-3 (in the case of its Swing Loans and referred to herein as a “Swing Note”), as applicable (the Term Notes, Revolving Notes and Swing Note being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Notes” and individually as a “Note”). Upon request, Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to each Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in the amount of the Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitment or Swing Line Sublimit, as applicable. The Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 10.10) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 10.10, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in subsections (a) and (b) above.

Section 2.13 Fees.

(a) Revolving Credit Commitment Fee and Draw Term Loan Commitment Fee.

(i) Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders according to their Applicable Percentages a commitment fee (“Revolving Credit

Commitment Fee”) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitments. Such Revolving Credit Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing on December 31, 2015) and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the Commitment Fee for the period to the date of such termination in whole shall be paid on the date of such termination.

(ii) Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders according to their Applicable Percentages a commitment fee (“Draw Term Loan Commitment Fee”; the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee and the Draw Term Loan Commitment Fee are collectively referred to herein as the “Commitment Fees”) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) on the average daily Unused Draw Term Loan Commitments. Such Draw Term Loan Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing on December 31, 2015) and on the Draw Term Loan Termination Date, unless the Draw Term Loan Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the Draw Term Loan Commitment Fee for the period to the date of such termination in whole shall be paid on the date of such termination.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. On the date of issuance or extension, or increase in the amount, of any Letter of Credit issued by a L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, Borrowers shall pay to such L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the face amount of (or of the increase in the face amount of) such Letter of Credit. On the date of issuance of any Letter of Credit, and on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December so long as such Letter of Credit is outstanding, Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders according to their Applicable Percentages, a letter of credit fee (“L/C Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Credit (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) in effect on such date applied to the daily average face amount of Letters of Credit outstanding on such date; provided that, while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, such rate shall increase by two percent (2%) over the rate otherwise payable and such fee shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that in the absence of acceleration, any rate increase pursuant to the foregoing proviso shall be made at the direction of the Agent, acting at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders.

(c) Closing Fees; Fee Letter. The Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a closing fee of (x) 0.375% of the Commitments for those Lenders with Commitments of $25,000,000 or greater and (y) 0.25% of the Commitments for those Lenders with Commitments of less than $25,000,000, which fee shall be fully earned and payable on the Second Restatement Closing Date. The Agent shall further receive, for its own use and benefit, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, or as otherwise agreed to in writing between such parties.

(d) Examination Fees. Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for its own use and benefit reasonable charges for examinations of the Collateral performed by the Agent or its agents or representatives in such amounts as the Agent may from time to time request (the Agent acknowledging and agreeing that such charges shall be computed in the same manner as it at the time customarily uses for the assessment of charges for similar collateral examinations); provided, however, that in the absence of any Default and/or Event of Default, Borrowers shall not be required to pay the Agent for more than two (2) such examinations per calendar year.

Section 2.14 Account Debit. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to charge any of such Borrower’s deposit accounts maintained with the Agent for the amounts from time to time necessary to pay any then due Obligations; provided that such Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Agent shall not be under an obligation to do so and the Agent shall not incur any liability to any Borrower or any other Person for the Agent’s failure to do so.

Section 2.15 Collections; Controlled Disbursement Accounts.

(a) Collections. Each Borrower will notify all of its customers and Account Debtors, which pay their Accounts (i) by electronic funds transfer, to forward all Remittances directly by wire transfer or automated clearinghouse funds transfer (“ACH”), (x) with regards to Government Receivables, to a Government Receivables Lockbox Account, (y) with respect to Non-Government Receivables or Private Pay Receivables, into a Collection Account (other than any Government Receivables Lockbox Account), and (ii) in paper form, to forward all Remittances by check directly into (A) with regards to Government Receivables, a Government Receivables Lockbox in the name of the applicable Borrower to whom such Government Receivables relate, (B) with respect to Non-Government Receivables, a Non-Government Receivables Lockbox in the name of the applicable Borrower to whom such Non-Government Receivables relate, or (C) with respect to Private Pay Receivables, a Private Pay Receivables Lockbox in the name of the applicable Borrower to whom such Private Pay Receivables relate (in each case such notices to be in such form and substance as Agent may require in its reasonable discretion from time to time). For all of any Borrower’s customers and Account Debtors that (notwithstanding the foregoing notification) forward their Remittances in paper form to such Borrower, such Borrower shall utilize the Agent’s electronic deposit and cash management system (i.e., remote capture) to deposit such Remittances directly into (i) with regards to Government Receivables, to the applicable Government Receivables Lockbox Account, (ii) with respect to Non-Government Receivables or Private Pay Receivables, into a Collection Account (other than any Government Receivables Lockbox Account). If any Borrower should neglect or refuse to notify any customer or Account Debtor to pay any Remittance to such Collection Accounts, the Agent will be entitled to make such notification. Any Remittance or other Proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral received by any Borrower shall be deemed held by such Borrower in trust for the Agent, and such Borrower immediately shall utilize the remote capture system as provided above or deliver the same, in its original form, to the Agent by overnight delivery for deposit into the applicable Collection Account. Pending such deposit whether via remote capture or overnight delivery, no Borrower will commingle any such Remittance or other Proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral with any of its other funds or property, but such Borrower will hold it separate and apart therefrom in trust for the Agent until delivery is made as described above. All deposits to the Collection Accounts will be applied against the Obligations as provided in this Section 2.15, except to the extent a

different application is required pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9. Subject to Section 10.25 of this Agreement, the Agent shall have sole access to the Collection Accounts. Each Business Day, the Agent, (i) in respect of each of the Government Receivables Lockbox Accounts, will, among other things, in accordance with the sweep instructions of the applicable Borrower (and each Borrower hereby expressly instructs the Agent to), transfer all collected and available funds in any Government Receivables Lockbox Account pursuant to the Agent’s automated sweep program, automatically and without notice, request or demand by any Borrower for application against the unpaid principal balance of (in the order determined by Agent) the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, and (ii) in accordance with the Agent’s policies and procedures, will transfer all collected and available funds in the Collection Accounts (other than any Government Receivables Lockbox Account) pursuant to the Agent’s automated sweep program, automatically and without notice, request or demand by any Borrower for application against the unpaid principal balance of (in the order determined by Agent) the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not change any sweep instructions, including, without limitation, the foregoing sweep instructions or any sweep instructions set forth in any Government Receivables Lockbox Account Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Agent. If, after such application by the Agent, there remains excess available funds in the Collection Accounts and an Event of Default is not then existing, then the Agent will deposit such excess funds into the Funding Account. Pursuant to such automatic sweep program of the Agent, the Agent will make Swing Loans or Revolving Loans as described in Section 2.11 to cover presentments to the controlled disbursement account(s) maintained by Borrowers with Agent (individually and collectively, the “Controlled Disbursement Account”). Until a payment is received by the Agent for the Agent’s account in finally collected funds, all risks associated with such payment will be borne solely by Borrowers. If any Remittance deposited in any Collection Account is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, the Agent, in its discretion, may charge the amount of such dishonored or returned Remittance directly against any Borrower and any account maintained by any Borrower with the Agent, and such amount shall be deemed part of the Obligations. For the purposes of calculating interest and fees, determining Revolving Loan Availability, all Remittances and other Proceeds of Accounts and other Collateral deposited into any Collection Account shall be credited (conditional on final collection) against the Obligations as set forth in this Section 2.15 as funds become collected and available in accordance with Agent’s designated funds availability policies from time to time in effect, and as described in Section 2.5(f) hereof as of the Second Restatement Closing Date.

(b) Cash Management Charges. Agent’s standard service charges and costs related to the establishment and maintenance of each of the Lockboxes, the Funding Account, the Controlled Disbursement Account, the Collection Accounts, the automatic sweep program, and the Agent’s treasury and cash management services shall be the sole responsibility of Borrowers, whether the same are incurred by the Agent or any Borrower, and the Agent, at its discretion, exercised in good faith, may charge the same against any Borrower and any account maintained by any Borrower with the Agent and the same shall be deemed part of the Obligations. Without limitation of the provisions of the Security Agreement, and without limitation to the provisions below relating to the ownership of the Collection Accounts and the deposits and funds therein, the Agent shall have, and each Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, a Lien on all funds held in each of the Lockboxes, the Funding Account, the Controlled Disbursement Account and the Collection Accounts as security for the Obligations.

Each of the Lockboxes, the Funding Account, the Controlled Disbursement Account and the Collection Accounts will not be subject to any deduction, set-off, banker’s lien or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates. Contemporaneously with the payment in full of the Loans and Obligations in respect thereof on or prior to the Maturity Date, all service charges and costs related to such cash management services and Banking Services Obligations shall be paid to Agent or Cash Collateralized.

(c) Cash Management Policies. From time to time, the Agent may adopt such regulations and procedures and changes as it may deem reasonable and appropriate with respect to the operation of each of the Lockboxes, the Funding Account, the Controlled Disbursement Account, the Collection Accounts, the automatic sweep program and the other services to be provided by the Agent under this Agreement, and such regulations, procedures and changes need not be reflected by an amendment to this Agreement in order to be effective. The Agent will give notice of such regulations, procedures and changes to Borrower Representative in the ordinary course of the Agent’s business. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this clause (c) will not affect the order of application of funds pursuant to the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.15. The Agent shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from any error, omission, failure or negligence on the part of the Agent in good faith with respect to the operation of each of the Lockboxes, the Funding Account, the Controlled Disbursement Account or any Collection Account, or the services to be provided by the Agent under this Agreement except to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct damages, as opposed to any consequential, special or lost-profit damages, suffered by any Borrower from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent as determined by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 2.16 Uncommitted Facilities Increase.

(a) The Borrower Representative may, after the Second Restatement Closing Date, deliver to the Agent a request (a “Facilities Increase Request”) to borrow incremental term loans (each individually an “Incremental Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Loans”) (any such incremental borrowing of Incremental Term Loans being a “Facilities Increase”) from one or more Facilities Increase Lenders (as defined below), provided that (i) no more than three (3) Facilities Increases shall be consummated pursuant to this Section 2.16 and the aggregate amount of all Facilities Increases consummated pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not exceed $50,000,000, (ii) each Facilities Increase shall be in an amount no less than $5,000,000 and multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof; (iii) no Facilities Increase shall be effective later than one (1) year prior to the Maturity Date; (iv) no Facilities Increase shall be effective earlier than twenty (20) Business Days after, or more than sixty (60) days after, the delivery of the Facilities Increase Request to the Agent; (v) each Facilities Increase shall be used solely to finance a Permitted Acquisition (or other Acquisition approved by the Agent and the Required Lenders) and related closing costs; (vi) prior to consummating a Facilities Increase, the Borrower Representative shall have delivered to the Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating that, upon giving effect to such Facilities Increase and any refinancing of any existing Indebtedness in connection therewith, on a pro forma basis, the Credit Parties would be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.22 and the Senior Leverage Ratio would be not greater than the level then required by Section 6.22 minus 0.25 to 1.00, in

each case as of the most recent month or fiscal quarter, as applicable, for which the Borrowers have delivered financial statements pursuant to Section 6.1 and that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 3.1 are satisfied; and (vii) both before and after giving effect to any such Facilities Increase, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate any Lender to participate in any Facilities Increase. Each Facilities Increase Request shall set forth (x) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan being requested (which shall be no less than $5,000,000 and multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof), (y) the date on which such Facilities Increase is requested to become effective (that complies with the requirements of clause (iii) above) and (z) whether the requested Incremental Term Loan is to be Base Rate Loan, Daily Floating LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Loan (and if a Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period therefor).

(b) Upon the delivery of the applicable Facilities Increase Request, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the proposed Facilities Increase and of the proposed terms and conditions therefor agreed between the Borrower Representative, the Facilities Increase Lenders and the Agent; provided that, (i) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loans be earlier than the final maturity date of any other existing Loans hereunder, (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the existing Draw Term Loans, (iii) if the Weighted Average Yield relating to such Incremental Term Loans (to the extent that such Incremental Term Loan is made within twelve (12) months after the Second Restatement Closing Date) exceeds the Weighted Average Yield relating to the existing Draw Term Loans by more than 0.50%, the Weighted Average Yield related to the existing Draw Term Loans shall be adjusted to be equal to the Weighted Average Yield relating to such Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50%, (iv) any Incremental Term Loans shall have the same guarantees as, and be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral securing the Draw Term Loans. Such Facility Increase shall be offered to all Lenders pro rata according to the respective Percentage, applied on an aggregate basis, for the Loans and Commitments held by each Lender. If the applicable Lenders do not accept the offered Facilities Increase in its entirety on a pro rata basis within ten (10) Business Days of such offer, that portion of the Facilities Increase not accepted by the applicable Lenders shall be offered to the applicable Lenders on a non-pro rata basis, and shall be allocated by Agent. If the applicable Lenders do not accept the applicable Facilities Increase in its entirety on a non-pro rata basis within ten (10) Business Days after such offer, that portion of the Facilities Increase not accepted by the applicable Lenders may be offered to Facilities Increase Lenders (as defined below).

(c) Each Facilities Increase shall become effective in accordance with the terms hereof on a date agreed by the Borrower and the Agent (a “Facilities Increase Date”), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1 and Agent’s receipt of legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates and documentation with respect to such Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder consistent with those delivered on the Second Restatement Closing Date under Section 3.2 and any and all amendment documents requested by Agent pursuant to clause (d) below.

(d) The Facilities Increase shall be evidenced by an amendment or supplement to this Agreement executed by the Borrowers (and consented to by all other Credit Parties), the Agent and Persons participating in such Facilities Increase (each, a “Facilities Increase Lender”

and collectively, the “Facilities Increase Lenders”); provided that, each Facilities Increase Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the prior approval of (i) the Borrower Representative in its reasonable discretion and (ii) the Agent in its reasonable discretion. Upon closing of the Facilities Increase, new Facilities Increase Lenders shall be deemed to be Lenders hereunder and Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to the Facilities Increase shall for all purposes be deemed to be Term Loans hereunder. Each of the Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by the applicable Loan Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Incremental Term Loans, including, without limitation, compliance with Sections 4.1 through 4.4.

Furthermore, (i) Holdings will cause 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each direct and indirect Subsidiary of Holdings, including, without limitation, Addus FEA, to be subject at all times to a first priority, perfected Lien and pledge in favor of Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the applicable Collateral Documents or other security documents as Agent shall reasonably request.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lien of Agent shall not extend to and Collateral (or any asset or property comprising the Collateral) shall not include the following Property (all of the following being the “Excluded Assets”): (i) other than Accounts, any lease, license, permit or agreement to which any Credit Party is a party to the extent, but only to the extent, that such a grant would, under the terms of such lease, license, permit or agreement, result in a breach of the terms of, invalidate, or constitute a default under, such lease, license, permit or agreement or to the extent any requirement of law prohibits the grant of a Lien thereon; (ii) any Property that is the subject of a Lien securing any purchase money Indebtedness or Capital Lease permitted under this Agreement pursuant to an agreement the terms of which prohibit such Credit Party from granting any other Liens on such Property (with respect to clauses (i) and (ii), other than to the extent that any such term or prohibition would be rendered ineffective pursuant to the UCC or other applicable law); provided, that with respect to any such limitation described in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) (A) upon the request of the Agent, such Credit Party shall in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any requisite consent for the creation of such Lien in favor of the Agent on such Property, (B) immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any such restriction, the Collateral shall include, and such Credit Party shall be deemed to have granted a Lien on such Property under the applicable Collateral Documents as if

such restriction had never been in effect; and (C) notwithstanding any such restriction, the Collateral shall, to the extent such restriction does not by its terms apply thereto and such rights and Proceeds do not otherwise constitute Excluded Assets, include all rights incident or appurtenant to any such Property, and the right to receive all Proceeds derived from, or in connection with the sale, assignment or transfer of, such Property; (iii) more than 65% of the total of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) in each Foreign Subsidiary directly owned by any Credit Party or any Domestic Subsidiary or any assets of any Foreign Subsidiary of the Credit Parties if in any such case Agent’s Lien on such Property would create a significant risk of a material adverse tax consequence to the Credit Parties; (iv) any “intent to use” applications for Trademarks for which a statement of use has not been filed and accepted with the United States Patent and Trademark Office; or (v) those assets as to which Agent determines in its Permitted Discretion the cost of obtaining a Lien therein in favor of Agent or the perfection thereof are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders afforded by such Lien.

Furthermore, the Lien of Agent need not be perfected in the following Property: (a) in each case with Agent’s prior written consent, (i) deposit accounts for xxxxx cash supporting local operations so long as the amounts on deposit in such deposit accounts do not exceed $10,000 in the aggregate for all such accounts, (ii) deposit account number xxxx7086 with Citibank so long as such deposit account (x) is used solely to disburse payment of workers compensation claims related to a Credit Party that have been funded by Agent and (y) has a balance of no more than the sum of (A) 100% of the total workers compensation claims amount being paid and (B) $50,000 (representing the minimum balance required amount) (or such greater minimum balance required amount agreed to in writing by Agent in its sole discretion) and (iii) payroll accounts so long as such payroll accounts (x) are used solely to disburse payroll for Credit Party employees and (y) have a balance of no more than either (A) 110% of the total payroll amount being paid for such week prior to the disbursement of such weekly payroll or (B) $30,000 for each such account after the disbursement of such weekly payroll (collectively, the “Excluded Accounts”); and (b) until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and thereafter until otherwise required by the Agent or the Required Lenders, on vehicles which are subject to a certificate of title law (collectively, the “Excluded Vehicles”).

Section 4.2 Liens on Real Property; Collateral Access Agreements.

(b) As of the Second Restatement Closing Date, the Credit Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Agent a Collateral Access Agreement with respect to the chief executive office (if leased) and each of the other locations set forth on the Real Estate Schedule to the Information Certificate where Credit Parties maintain books and records or Inventory and Equipment with a fair market value in excess of $250,000.

Section 4.3 Guaranties. The payment and performance of the Obligations of each Credit Party shall at all times be jointly and severally guaranteed by the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries except, in the case of any Foreign Subsidiary otherwise guaranteeing an Obligation of a Credit Party which is a U.S. Person, if such guaranty would create a significant risk of a material adverse tax consequence to the Credit Parties.

Section 4.4 Further Assurances. Each of the Credit Parties agrees that it shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, from time to time at the request of the Agent or the Required Lenders, execute and deliver such documents and do such acts and things as the Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request in order to provide for or perfect or protect such Liens on the Collateral. In the event any Credit Party or any Subsidiary forms or acquires any other Subsidiary as permitted hereunder after the date hereof, the Credit Parties shall (i) provide prior written notice to Agent as to the creation of such Subsidiary and the purpose thereof, and (ii) contemporaneously with such formation or acquisition cause such newly formed or acquired Subsidiary to become a Borrower or Guarantor hereunder as Agent shall direct and to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, Collateral Documents and such other instruments, documents, certificates, and opinions required by the Agent in connection therewith; provided that such requirement shall not apply to a newly formed or acquired Foreign Subsidiary, if Agent reasonably determines that such act would reasonably be expected to have material adverse tax consequences to the Credit Parties. If any material assets (including any real property or improvements thereto or any interest therein) are acquired by the Credit Parties after the Second Restatement Closing Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Security Agreement that become subject to the Lien in favor of the Security Agreement upon acquisition thereof), the Credit Party will (i) notify Agent thereof and, if requested by Agent or the Required Lenders, cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and (ii) take such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, all at the expense of the Credit Parties.

The Loan Documents delivered by each of the Credit Parties and by each Subsidiary, if any, have been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by such Person and constitute valid and binding obligations of such Person enforceable against it in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not, nor does the performance or observance by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, if any, of any of the matters and things herein or therein provided for, (a) contravene or constitute a default under any provision of law or any judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, if any, or any provision of the organizational documents (e.g., charter, articles of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association, operating agreement, partnership agreement or other similar document) of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, (b) contravene or constitute a default under any covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or any of such Person’s Property, in each case where such contravention or default, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (c) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary other than the Liens granted in favor of the Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

Section 5.3 Financial Reports.

Section 5.4 No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2014, there has been no change in the financial condition or operations of the Credit Parties and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except those occurring in the ordinary course of business, none of which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.5 Litigation and Other Controversies. There is no litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party and/or any Subsidiary, threatened against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary that (a), if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) involve this Agreement.

Section 5.6 True and Complete Disclosure. All information furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary in writing to the Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, or any transaction contemplated herein, is, when taken as a whole, true and accurate in all material respects and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided; provided that, with respect to projected financial information furnished by or on behalf of the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, each of the Credit Parties only represents and warrants that such information is prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time prepared (it being understood that no assurance can be given that such projections will be realized and that actual results may differ from such projections).

No part of the proceeds of any Loan or other extension of credit hereunder will be used by any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof to purchase or carry any margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock. Neither the making of any Loan or other extension of credit hereunder nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any successor to all or any portion of such regulations. Margin Stock (as defined above) constitutes less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of those assets of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries that are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge or other restriction hereunder.

Each of the Credit Parties and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities in respect of the conduct of their businesses and the ownership of their property, except such non-compliances as could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.12 Environmental Matters. Each of the Credit Parties and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws, except to the extent that the aggregate effect of all non-compliances could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary after due inquiry, threatened Environmental Claims, including any such claims (regardless of materiality) for liabilities under CERCLA relating to the disposal of Hazardous Materials, against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or any real property, including leaseholds, owned or operated by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, except such claims as could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, there are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences on any real property, including leaseholds, owned or operated by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary that, to the best knowledge of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary after due inquiry, could reasonably be expected (i) to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or any such real property, or (ii) to cause any such real property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of such real property by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary under any applicable Environmental Law. Hazardous Materials have not been Released on or from any real property, including leaseholds, owned or operated by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary where such Release, individually, or when combined with other Releases, in the aggregate, may reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.14 Intellectual Property. Each of the Credit Parties and each Subsidiary owns or is licensed to use all the Intellectual Property necessary for the present conduct of its businesses, in each case without any known conflict with the rights of others which, or the failure to obtain which, as the case may be, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.15 Good Title. Each of the Credit Parties and each Subsidiary have good and marketable title, or valid leasehold interests, to their assets necessary for the operation of its business as reflected on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries provided to the Agent (except for sales of assets in the ordinary course of business, and such defects in title that could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect) and such assets are subject to no Liens, other than Permitted Liens.

Section 5.16 Labor Relations. No Credit Party nor any Subsidiary is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably be expected to give rise to liabilities in excess of $1,000,000.

All collective bargaining agreements and similar labor relations agreements to which any Credit Party is a party as of the Second Restatement Closing Date are described in detail on Schedule 5.16 to the Disclosure Statement, together with the parties thereto and the expiration date thereof, and such Credit Party is in compliance with all such collective bargaining agreements except to the extent that a failure to be in compliance would reasonably be expected to give rise to liabilities in excess of $1,000,000.

Section 5.17 Capitalization. All outstanding Equity Interests of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable. Schedule 5.17 to the Disclosure Statement describes (i) the capitalization of each of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, and (ii) any outstanding commitments or other obligations of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary to issue, and any rights of any Person to acquire, any Equity Interests in any Credit Party or any Subsidiary.

Section 5.18 Other Agreements. No Credit Party nor any Subsidiary is in default under (i) of the Subordinated Debt Documents, or (ii) the terms of any covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting any Credit Party, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Properties, which default if uncured could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.19 Governmental Authority and Licensing. Each of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries have received all licenses, permits, and approvals of each Governmental Authority necessary to conduct their businesses, in each case where the failure to obtain or maintain the same could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No investigation or proceeding that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to result in revocation or denial of any license, permit or approval is pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, threatened, except where such revocation or denial could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.20 Approvals. No authorization, consent, license or exemption from, or filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority, nor any approval or consent of any other Person, is or will be necessary to the valid execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Document, except for the filing of UCC financing statements and Intellectual Property security agreements and such approvals which have been obtained prior to the date of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect.

Section 5.21 Affiliate Transactions. No Credit Party nor any Subsidiary is a party to any contracts or agreements with any of its Affiliates (other than with Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) on terms and conditions which are less favorable to such Credit Party or such Subsidiary than would be usual and customary in similar contracts or agreements between Persons not affiliated with each other.

Section 5.22 Solvency. After giving effect to the initial Credit Event, the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are able to generally pay their debts as they become due in the ordinary course of business and do not have an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to carry on their businesses; and the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries as they become absolute and mature in the ordinary course of business is less than the sum of the present fair sale value of their assets valued on a going concern basis.

Section 5.23 No Broker Fees. No broker’s or finder’s fee or commission will be payable with respect hereto or any of the transactions contemplated hereby; and each of the Credit Parties hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent and the Lenders against, and agree that they will hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any claim, demand, or liability for any such broker’s or finder’s fees alleged to have been incurred in connection herewith or therewith and any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising in connection with any such claim, demand, or liability.

(b) No Credit Party nor any of its domestic Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of any Credit Party or any of its domestic Subsidiaries has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”) or any other applicable anti-corruption law; and the Credit Parties have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure continued compliance therewith. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the FCPA.

Section 5.26 Security Interest in Collateral. The provisions of the Collateral Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Credit Party and all third parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except, in the case of Permitted Liens, to the extent any such Permitted Liens would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Agent pursuant to any applicable law or agreement.

Section 5.27 Common Enterprise. The successful operation and condition of each of the Credit Parties is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the group of the Credit Parties as a whole and the successful operation of each of the Credit Parties is dependent on the successful performance and operation of each other Credit Party. Each Credit Party expects to derive benefit (and its board of directors or other governing body has determined that it may reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly and indirectly, from (i) successful operations of each of the other Credit Parties and (ii) the credit extended by the Lenders to the Borrowers hereunder, both in their separate capacities and as members of the group of companies. Each Credit Party has determined that execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to be executed by such Credit Party is within its purpose, in furtherance of its direct and/or indirect business interests, will be of direct and/or indirect benefit to such Credit Party, and is in its best interest.

Except as set forth on Schedule 5.28 to the Disclosure Statement, no Credit Party or Subsidiary of a Credit Party has received any written notice that it is not in material compliance in any respect with any of the requirements of any of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Credit

Party or Subsidiary of a Credit Party has received a subpoena or other notice that it is or will be subject to any investigation by any Governmental Authority with respect to any Health Care Law, nor, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, is any investigation threatened or are there circumstances which, if known to a Governmental Authority, would lead the Governmental Authority to investigate such Credit Party or Subsidiary of a Credit Party. Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary of a Credit Party has received and maintains accreditation in good standing and without limitation or impairment by all applicable accrediting organizations, to the extent required by applicable law (including all Health Care Laws), all Third Party Payor Programs and all Participation Agreements, except where the failure to receive and/or maintain such accreditation could not reasonably be expected to have or result in, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

To the knowledge of each of the Borrowers, there is no investigation, audit, claim review or other action pending or threatened which could result in a revocation, suspension, termination, probation, restriction, limitation, or non-renewal of any Third Party Payor, Participation Agreement, provider number or authorization or result in the exclusion of any Credit Party or a Subsidiary of a Credit Party from any Third Party Payor Program, which revocation, suspension, termination, probation, restriction, limitation, non-renewal or exclusion could reasonably be expected to be, have or result in, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower has any knowledge that any condition exists or event has occurred which, in itself or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, reasonably could be expected to result in the suspension, revocation, forfeiture, non-renewal of any governmental consent applicable to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party or any health care facility operated by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party or such facility’s participation in any Third Party Payor Program, or of any Participation Agreements, which suspension, revocation, forfeiture or non-renewal could reasonably be expected to be, have or result in, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary of a Credit Party has filed with all applicable federal, state and local Governmental Authorities for and received approval of all registrations, applications, licenses, certificates or determinations of need, requests for exemptions, permits and other regulatory authorizations necessary to conduct the businesses of such Credit Party or such Subsidiary of a Credit Party as currently conducted, the absence of which could not reasonably be expected to be, have or result in, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary of a Credit Party is, and at all relevant times has been, in compliance in all respects with all such registrations, applications, licenses, requests for exemptions, permits and other regulatory authorizations, except to the extent that the failure to be in compliance could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) No Credit Party, no Subsidiary of a Credit Party, none of their respective officers, managers, employees or independent contractors and no “Person with an ownership or control interest” (as that phrase is defined in 42 C.F.R. § 420.201) in any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party is, or to the knowledge of such Credit Party or Subsidiary has been or has been threatened to be: (A) excluded from participation in a Federal Health Care Program (as that term is defined in 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(f)) or is the subject of a proceeding seeking to assess such penalty, or has been “suspended” or “debarred” from selling products to the U.S. government or its agencies pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, relating to debarment and suspension applicable to federal government agencies generally (48 C.F.R.

otherwise may, demand that Borrowers immediately pay to the Agent an amount equal to 105% of the then full available amount for drawing under each or any Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, any and all L/C Obligations, and each Borrower agrees to immediately make such payment and acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders would not have an adequate remedy at law for failure by any Borrower to honor any such demand and that the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, shall have the right to require each Borrower to specifically perform such undertaking whether or not any drawings or other demands for payment have been made under any Letter of Credit. The Agent, after giving notice to Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 7.1(c) or this Section 7.2, shall also promptly send a copy of such notice to the other Lenders, but the failure to do so shall not impair or annul the effect of such notice.

Section 7.4 Collateral for Undrawn Letters of Credit.

(a) If the prepayment of the amount available for drawing under any or all outstanding Letters of Credit, including, without limitation, any and all L/C Obligations, is required under Section 2.8(b) or under Section 7.2 or 7.3 above, Borrowers shall forthwith pay the amount required to be so prepaid, to be held by the Agent as provided in subsection (b) below.

(b) All amounts prepaid pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be held by the Agent in one or more separate collateral accounts (each such account, and the credit balances, properties, and any investments from time to time held therein, and any substitutions for such account, any certificate of deposit or other instrument evidencing any of the foregoing and all proceeds of and earnings on any of the foregoing being collectively called the “Collateral Account”) as security for, and for application by the Agent (to the extent available) to, the reimbursement of any payment under any Letter of Credit then or thereafter made by the applicable L/C Issuer, and to the payment of the unpaid balance of any other Obligations. The Collateral Account shall be held in the name of and subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Agent for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders, and the applicable L/C Issuer. If and when requested by Borrower Representative, the Agent shall invest funds held in the Collateral Account from time to time in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America with a remaining maturity of one (1) year or less, provided that the Agent is irrevocably authorized to

sell investments held in the Collateral Account when and as required to make payments out of the Collateral Account for application to amounts due and owing from any Borrower to the applicable L/C Issuer, the Agent or the Lenders; provided, however, that if (i) any Borrower shall have made payment of all such obligations referred to in subsection (a) above, (ii) all relevant preference or other disgorgement periods relating to the receipt of such payments have passed, and (iii) no Letters of Credit, Commitments, Loans or other Obligations remain outstanding hereunder, then the Agent shall release to Borrower Representative any remaining amounts held in the Collateral Account.

Each of the Credit Parties agree that Agent and the Lenders shall have the right, at any time that any Default or Event of Default exists, at the cost and expense of the Credit Parties, to engage a consultant to review the business, financial conditions and operations of the Credit Parties, and the Credit Parties agree to grant access to all financial and corporate information and books and records of the Credit Parties and cooperate and assist such consultant as requested by Agent and the Lenders.

SECTION 8

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES AND CONTINGENCIES.

Section 8.1 Funding Indemnity. If any Lender shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss of profit, and any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Lender or by reason of breakage of interest rate swap agreements or the liquidation of other hedging contracts or agreements) as a result of:

(a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period,

(b) any failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Section 3 or otherwise) by any Borrower to borrow or continue a Eurodollar Loan, or to convert a Base Rate Loan or Daily Floating LIBOR Loan into a Eurodollar Loan, on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 2.5(a) hereof,

(c) any failure by any Borrower to make any payment of principal on any Eurodollar Loan when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise),

(d) any acceleration of the maturity of a Eurodollar Loan as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, or

(e) any assignment required by Section 8.6(b),

then, upon the demand of such Lender, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to Borrower Representative, with a copy to the Agent, a certificate setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder with respect to Eurodollar Loans shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of deposits in the interbank eurodollar market having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest Period, and bearing an interest rate equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period.

Section 8.2 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if at any time any Change in Law makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or continue to maintain any Eurodollar Loans and/or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, as applicable, or to perform its obligations as contemplated hereby, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower Representative and the Agent, and such Lender’s obligations to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans and/or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, as applicable, under this Agreement shall be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans and/or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, as applicable. Borrowers shall prepay on demand the outstanding principal amount of any such affected Eurodollar Loans and/or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, as applicable, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts then due and payable to such Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower Representative may then elect to borrow the principal amount of the affected Eurodollar Loans and/or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans from such Lender by means of Base Rate Loans (or, if not so affected, Daily Floating LIBOR Loans) from such Lender, which Base Rate Loans (or, if not so affected, Daily Floating LIBOR Loans) shall not be made ratably by the Lenders but only from such affected Lender.

Section 8.3 Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain, or Inadequacy of, LIBOR. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or on any day with respect to Daily Floating LIBOR Loans:

(a) the Agent determines that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to it in the interbank eurodollar market for such Interest Period, or that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR and/or Daily Floating LIBOR, as applicable, or

(b) the Required Lenders advise the Agent that (i) LIBOR as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their

100

Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period and/or Daily Floating LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, as applicable or (ii) that the making or funding of Eurodollar Loans and/or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, as applicable, has become impracticable,

then the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to Borrower Representative and the Lenders, whereupon until the Agent notifies Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans and/or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended.

Section 8.4 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR or Daily Floating LIBOR) or any L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit

101

issued by any L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and/or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower Representative, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 8.5 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 8.5, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document to any Recipient shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Any amount deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 8.5(b) on account of a Tax that is not an Indemnified Tax, shall be deemed paid to (or for the benefit of) the applicable Recipient for all purposes under each Loan Document.

102

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.10 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 8.5, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Agent, shall deliver to the Borrower Representative such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in

103

the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 8.5(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

104

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to such Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Representative and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify such Borrower, the Borrower Representative and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such

105

refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 8.6 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 8.4, or requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 8.5, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower Representative) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.4 or 8.5, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 8.4, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 8.5 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 8.6(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower Representative may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.10), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 8.5) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.10;

106

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Reimbursement Obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 8.1) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.4 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 8.5, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower Representative to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 8.7 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.14 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 8.8; fourth, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such

107

Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 8.8; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 8.7(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.7(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 8.8.

(C) With respect to any L/C Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

108

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.8.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower Representative, the Agent and each Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 8.7(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Swing Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swing Line Lender shall be required to fund any Swing Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Loan and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

109

Section 8.8 Cash Collateral.

(a) Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Agent or any L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 8.7(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (c) below. If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the L/C Issuers as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 8.8 or Section 8.7 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.8 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Agent and each L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 8.7, the Person providing Cash Collateral and each L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrowers, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

SECTION 9

THE AGENT.

Section 9.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints Fifth Third to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such

110

actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including acting as “representative” of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers within the meaning of the UCC. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and no Credit Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 9.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default and/or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or

111

percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.11, 7.2 or 7.3), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default and/or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default and/or Event of Default is given to the Agent in writing by the Borrower Representative, a Lender or an L/C Issuer.

(c) The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default and/or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

Section 9.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower Representative), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.5 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

112

Section 9.6 Resignation of Agent. (a) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower Representative. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower Representative and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and L/C Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower Representative and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.13 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent.

Section 9.7 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed

113

appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.8 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or any Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or Collateral Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder. The Agent shall have the continuing right, for purposes hereof, at any time and from time to time to designate one or more of the Lenders (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “arrangers” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive effect, and such Lenders and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof.

Section 9.9 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower Representative) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Agent under Sections 2.13 and 10.13) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 2.13 and 10.13.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize, consent, accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or L/C Issuer or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

114

Section 9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. (a) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (x) upon termination of all Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer shall have been made), (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (z) subject to Section 10.11, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.12(e); and

(iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.

(b) The Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 9.11 Authorization to Enter into, and Enforcement of, the Collateral Documents. The Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to execute and deliver the Collateral Documents on behalf of each of the Lenders and their Affiliates and to take such action and exercise such powers under the Collateral Documents as the Agent considers appropriate; provided that the Agent shall not amend the Collateral Documents unless such amendment is agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders; provided further that the consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required to amend any account control agreement, landlord waiver, bailee waiver or similar agreement. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it will be bound by the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents upon the execution and delivery thereof by the Agent. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, no Lender (or its Affiliates) other than the Agent shall have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral or for the execution of any trust or power in respect of the Collateral or for the appointment of a receiver or for the

115

enforcement of any other remedy under the Collateral Documents; it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Lenders (or their Affiliates) shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the Lien of the Agent (or any security trustee therefor) under the Collateral Documents by its or their action or to enforce any right thereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had, and maintained by the Agent (or its security trustee) in the manner provided for in the relevant Collateral Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and their Affiliates.

SECTION 10

MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 10.1 [Reserved].

Section 10.2 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Agent or any Lender or on the part of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations in the exercise of any power or right under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Agent, the Lenders and of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.

Section 10.3 Non-Business Days. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable. In the case of any payment of principal falling due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal amount shall continue to accrue during such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of interest.

Section 10.4 [Reserved].

Section 10.5 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Loan Document or in certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any Lender or the L/C Issuer has any Commitment hereunder or any Obligations remain unpaid hereunder.

Section 10.6 Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit, including, but not limited to, Sections 8.1, 8.4, 10.1, 10.4 and 10.13 hereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Payment in Full of the Obligations.

Section 10.7 Sharing of Set-Off. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of

116

its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Reimbursement Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

The Agent or the Borrower Representative may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Credit Party’s or the Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

Section 10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 3, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.10 Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto

119

shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (in each case with respect to any Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $3,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit, or $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Draw Term Credit or the Term Loans, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower Representative otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

120

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and provided, further, that the Borrower Representative’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Facilities;

(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) the Revolving Credit and/or any unfunded Commitments with respect to the Draw Term Credit if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, and (ii) any Term Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

and

(C) the consent of each L/C Issuer and each Swing Line Lender shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Credit Party, the Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower Representative and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested

121

but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, each L/C Issuer, each Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.4 and 10.13 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Cincinnati, Ohio a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Representative and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 10.10(c) is intended to qualify the Loans as obligations in “registered form” for purposes of the Code including Treasury Regulation 1.871-14(c) promulgated thereunder, and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower Representative or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or any Credit Party or any Credit Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that

122

(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Credit Parties, the Agent, the L/C Issuers and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.13(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.11(b) that affects such Participant. Each Credit Party agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.4, 8.1 and 8.5 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 8.5(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 8.5(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 8.6 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 8.4 or 8.5, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower Representative’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower Representative to effectuate the provisions of Section 8.6 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.14 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

123

(f) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Illinois Electronic Commerce Security Act, or any other similar state laws whether or not based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 10.11 Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default and/or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default and/or Event of Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document (other than any Rate Management Agreement or any Banking Services Obligations agreement) nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and the Credit Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Obligation or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) affected thereby, (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Obligation, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) affected thereby, (D) change Section 2.9 (Place and Application of Payments) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender (including any

124

such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (E) amend the definition of Leverage Limit or add new categories of eligible assets, without the written consent of each Revolving Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (F) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby, (G) change Section 8.7 (Defaulting Lenders), without the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (H) release any Guarantor from its Guarantied Obligations (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), or (I) except as provided in this Section 10.11 or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent, such L/C Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 8.7 (Defaulting Lenders) shall require the consent of the Agent, each L/C Issuer and the Swing Loan Lender) provided further that (1) any waiver or amendment to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency in any Loan Document shall only require the signature of Agent and Borrowers and (2) any amendment necessary to implement the terms of a Facilities Increase in accordance with the terms hereof shall only require the signature of the Agent, the Borrowers and the Facilities Increase Lenders. The Agent may also amend the Schedule 1 (Commitments) to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 10.10.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitments of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

Section 10.12 Headings. Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

Section 10.13 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Credit Parties shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent), and shall pay all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of the Agent, in connection with the syndication of the Facilities, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of the Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, in connection with

125

(b) Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall indemnify the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including any Credit Party) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Credit Party, or any Subsidiary or Affiliates of any Credit Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by any Credit Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such Credit Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 10.13(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Credit Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer, any Swing Line Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer, such Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender solely in its capacity as such, only the Revolving Lenders shall

126

be required to pay such unpaid amounts, such payment to be made severally among them based on such Revolving Lenders’ Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) provided, further, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer or such Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer or any such Swing Line Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 10.20.

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. (i) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. (ii) Each Credit Party for itself and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties and their heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby further specifically waives any rights that it may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (to the extent applicable), which provides as follows: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR,” and further waives any similar rights under applicable Laws.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly (and, in any event within three (3) Business Days) after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder.

Section 10.14 Set-off. Subject to Section 2.15(b), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, with prior written notice to Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any and all of the Obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, L/C Issuer or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Credit Party may

127

be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.7 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, the L/C Issuers, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower Representative and the Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 10.15 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.

Section 10.16 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, internal laws (including, without limitation, 735 ILCS Section 105/5-1 et seq., but otherwise without regard to the conflict of laws provisions) of the State of Illinois.

Section 10.17 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable.

Section 10.18 Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control, (b) no Credit Party, nor any other obligor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that the Agent or any Lender may

128

have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law), (ii) refunded to Borrowers, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) neither any Credit Party or any other obligor or endorser shall have any action against the Agent or any Lender for any Damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of the Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on the Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lenders have received the amount of interest which such Lenders would have received during such period on the Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

Section 10.19 Construction. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation of the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Agreement relating to Subsidiaries shall apply only during such times as any Credit Party has one or more Subsidiaries. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to permit any act or omission which is prohibited by the terms of any Collateral Document, the covenants and agreements contained herein being in addition to and not in substitution for the covenants and agreements contained in the Collateral Documents.

Section 10.20 Lender’s and L/C Issuer’s Obligations Several. The obligations of the Lenders and L/C Issuers hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders or L/C Issuers pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders or L/C Issuers a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.

Section 10.21 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each of the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each of the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each of the Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each of the Credit Parties in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

Section 10.22 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Jurisdiction. Each Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of Illinois sitting in Xxxx County, and of the United States District Court of the Northern District of Illinois (Eastern Division), and any appellate court from any thereof, and

129

each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Illinois State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Waiver of Venue. Each Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.8. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

(d) Waiver of Jury Trial. (i) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. (ii) In the event any such action or proceeding is brought or filed in any United States federal court sitting in the State of California or in any state court of the State of California, and the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 10.22(d)(i) hereof is determined or held to be ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all actions or proceedings shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of San Francisco County, California. Such proceeding shall be conducted in San Francisco County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding. In the event any actions or proceedings are to be resolved by judicial reference, any party may seek from any court having jurisdiction thereover any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such

130

prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all actions or proceedings are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.

Section 10.23 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries or the Facilities or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Facilities; (h) with the consent of the Borrower Representative; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Credit Party.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 10.24 Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that any Indebtedness of any other Credit Party or any Subsidiary of such Credit Party or any other Credit Party now or hereafter owing to such Credit Party, whether heretofore, now or hereafter created (the “Credit Party Subordinated Debt”), is hereby subordinated to all of the Obligations and that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Credit Party Subordinated Debt shall not be paid in whole or in part until Payment in Full of the Obligations. No Credit Party shall make or accept any payment of or on account of any Credit

131

Party Subordinated Debt at any time in contravention of the foregoing. Each payment on the Credit Party Subordinated Debt received in violation of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by such Credit Party as trustee for the Agent and shall be paid over to the Agent immediately on account of the Obligations, but without otherwise affecting in any manner such Credit Party’s liability hereunder. Each Credit Party agrees to file all claims against the Credit Party from whom the Credit Party Subordinated Debt is owing in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Credit Party Subordinated Debt, and the Agent shall be entitled to all of such Credit Party’s rights thereunder. If for any reason any Credit Party fails to file such claim at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and the Agent is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Credit Party’s name to file such claim or, in the Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the Person or Persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Credit Party hereby assigns to the Agent all of such Credit Party’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Credit Party otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than such Credit Party’s liability hereunder, the Agent shall pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto. In addition, each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all of such Credit Party’s voting rights in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding or any plan for the reorganization of any Borrower or any Credit Party from whom the Credit Party Subordinated Debt is owing.

Section 10.25 Certain Disclaimer. In order to comply with the so-called “Anti-Assignment Rule” promulgated by CMS, each Lender who is the provider of services in connection with any Banking Services Obligations expressly waives any right of set-off of (and any right to cause any Affiliate of such Lender to set-off) funds on deposit in any lockbox(es) established for receiving checks and other forms of collections from Governmental Authorities on account of governmental receivables or related deposit account(s) into which Medicare or Medicaid make payment directly against any of the Obligations. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that with respect to the Government Receivables Lockbox Accounts into which Government Receivables are deposited that the Borrowers shall retain the right to change the sweep instructions for such Governmental Receivables Lockbox Accounts, and Borrowers acknowledge that any change in instructions that are inconsistent with Section 2.15 of this Agreement constitutes an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement.

Section 10.26 Prior Agreements.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective, and shall amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement, upon the execution of this Agreement by Borrowers, the other Credit Parties, Agent and the Lenders and upon the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Section 3 hereof; and from and after such effective time, (i) all references made to the Existing Credit Agreement in the Loan Documents or in any other instrument or document executed and/or delivered pursuant thereto shall, without any further action, be deemed to refer to this Agreement and (ii) the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed amended and restated in its entirety hereby.

132

(b) This Agreement and certain of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection herewith are entered into and delivered to Agent and the Lenders in replacement of and substitution for, and not in payment of or satisfaction for, the Existing Credit Agreement. All Loan Documents, including, the other instruments, documents and agreements executed and delivered in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement, are hereby reaffirmed and shall continue in full force and effect, as may be amended, restated or otherwise modified in connection herewith. Each Credit Party acknowledges that the Loans and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities, including, without limitation, the “Obligations” (as such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) evidenced by the Original Loan Agreement and the Existing Credit Agreement have not been satisfied but instead have become part of the Loans and Obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith. Each Credit Party further acknowledges that (1) all of the Liens granted by each of the Borrowers and each other Credit Party under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and the Original Loan Agreement, and (2) all instruments, documents and agreements executed in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement and the Original Loan Agreement are hereby reaffirmed, as may be amended, restated or otherwise modified in connection herewith, and shall continue hereafter to secure the Obligations under the Loan Documents so long as any portion of the Obligations remain outstanding.

SECTION 11

GUARANTY.

Section 11.1 Guaranty. Each Credit Party (each to be referred to in this Section 11 as a Guarantor and collectively as the Guarantors) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of Obligations as a Guarantor and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by the Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of such specific Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, the obligor thereof (such costs and expenses, together with the Obligations, collectively the “Guarantied Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guarantied Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal.

Section 11.2 Guaranty of Payment. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor waives any right to require the Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender to xxx any Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations, or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations.

133

Section 11.3 No Discharge or Diminishment of Guaranty.

(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein and to the extent provided for herein, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the Payment in Full in cash of the Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guarantied Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guarantied Obligations, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guarantied Obligations; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Guarantor may have at any time against any Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations, the Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

(b) The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guarantied Obligations, of the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guarantied Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guarantied Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guarantied Obligations; (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guarantied Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the Payment in Full).

Section 11.4 Waiver of Defenses.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Guarantor, other than the Payment in Full. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor of any of the

134

Guarantied Obligations, or any other Person and (ii) each Guarantor hereby waives any defense, right of set-off, claim or counterclaim whatsoever and any and all other rights, benefits, protections and other defenses available to such Guarantor now or at any time hereafter, including under California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726, and all successor sections, whether or not constituting applicable law. The Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guarantied Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guarantied Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person liable on any part of the Guarantied Obligations or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person liable on any of the Guarantied Obligations, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty except for the Payment in Full of the Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person liable on any of the Guarantied Obligations, as the case may be, or any security.

(b) Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing set forth in clause (a) above, each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Obligations are secured by real property located in California, Guarantor shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such real property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such Guarantor’s right to proceed against any Credit Party. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, each Guarantor hereby waives until such time as the Secured Obligations have been paid in full:

(i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantors by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899, and 3433 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction;

(ii) all rights and defenses that Guarantors may have because the Obligations are secured by real property located in California, meaning, among other things, that: (A) the Agent and the Lenders may collect from Guarantors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Company or any other Guarantors, and (B) if the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Company or any other Guarantor, (1) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Lenders may collect from the Guarantor even if, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, the Agent or the other Lenders have destroyed or impaired any right Guarantor may have to collect from any other Guarantor, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantors may have

135

because the Obligations are secured by real property (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction); and

(iii) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Agent and the other Lenders, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Obligations, has destroyed Guarantors’ rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Guarantor by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction or otherwise.

Section 11.5 Rights of Subrogation. No Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Borrower, any Guarantor, any Person liable on the Guarantied Obligations, or any collateral, until Payment in Full in cash of the Obligations.

Section 11.6 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guarantied Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders are in possession of this Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guarantied Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender.

Section 11.7 Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Guaranty, and agrees that neither the Agent, any L/C Issuer nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

Section 11.8 Termination. The Lenders may continue to make loans or extend credit to any Borrower based on this Guaranty until five (5) days after the Agent receives written notice of termination from any Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lender for any Guarantied Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth (5th) day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of that Guarantied Obligations.

Section 11.9 Severability. The provisions of this Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability

136

under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”. This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Guarantor nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guarantied Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder, provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

Section 11.10 Contribution. In the event any Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Guaranty, each other Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Section 11, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Guarantors from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guarantied Obligations (up to such Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guarantied Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Lenders and the Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 11.11 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Credit Party as a Guarantor under this Section 11 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Credit Party to the Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Credit Party is a party or in respect of any obligations of liabilities of the other Credit Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

137

Section 11.12 Eligible Contract Participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no Guarantor shall be deemed under this Section 11 to be a guarantor of any Swap Obligations if such Guarantor was not an “eligible contract participant” as defined in § 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, at the time the guarantee under this Section 11 becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation and to the extent that the providing of such guarantee by such Guarantor would violate the Commodity Exchange Act; provided, however, that in determining whether any Guarantor is an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act, the guarantee of the Credit Party Obligations of such Guarantor under this Section 11 by a Guarantor that is also a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall be taken into account.

Section 11.13 Keepwell. Without limiting anything in this Section 11, each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time to each Guarantor that is not an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act at the time the guarantee under this Section 11 becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, to honor all of the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Section 11 in respect of such Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 11.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its undertaking under this Section 11.13, or otherwise under this Section 11, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The undertaking of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 11.13 shall remain in full force and effect until termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loans and other Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 11.13 constitute, and this Section 11.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each Guarantor that would otherwise not constitute an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act.

SECTION 12

BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE.

Section 12.1 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. Addus Healthcare is hereby appointed by each of the Credit Parties as its contractual representative (“Borrower Representative”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Credit Parties irrevocably authorizes Borrower Representative to act as the contractual representative of such Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Section 12. Additionally, Borrowers hereby appoint Borrower Representative as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the Loans in the Funding Account, at which time Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such Loans to the appropriate Borrower. The Agent and the Lenders, and their respective officers, directors, agents or employees, shall not be liable to Borrower Representative, any Borrower or any other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Borrower Representative or Borrowers pursuant to this Section 12.

138

Section 12.2 Powers. Borrower Representative shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to Borrower Representative by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
