Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1 that are repaid or prepaid by the Company may not be reborrowed.

2.2 Tranches and Groups of Loans. Each Bank’s Loan may be divided into tranches (each a “Tranche”) that bear interest based upon the Base Rate (a “Base Rate Tranche”) or the Eurodollar Rate for a particular Interest Period (a “Eurodollar Tranche”).

Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Closing Date, each Bank shall provide the Administrative Agent at the office specified by the Administrative Agent with immediately available funds in the amount of such Bank’s Loan and, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 have not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over the requested amount to the Company.

2.4 Conversion/Continuation Procedures. (2) The Company shall give written or telephonic (followed promptly by written confirmation thereof) notice to the Administrative Agent of each proposed conversion or continuation not later than (i) in the case of conversion into a Base Rate Group, 1:30 p.m. on the proposed date of such conversion; and (ii) in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Group, 10:00 a.m. at least two Business Days prior to the proposed date of such conversion or continuation.

(c) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of its receipt of a notice of conversion or continuation pursuant to this Section 2.4 or, if no timely notice is provided by the Company, of the details of any automatic continuation.

(d) Unless the Required Banks otherwise consent, during the existence of an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default, the Company may not elect to convert any Base Rate Group into a Eurodollar Group or to continue any Eurodollar Group for a new Interest Period.

2.5 Commitments Several. The failure of any Bank to make its Loan on the Closing Date shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation (if any) to make its Loan on such date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Loan to be made by such other Bank.

2.6 Additional Loans. So long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, any Bank may increase the amount of its Loan by making an additional advance to the Company (it being understood that no Bank shall have any obligation to make any such additional advance) or any other Person may make a loan to the Company hereunder (any such additional advance by an existing Bank or loan by a Person that is not a Bank, an “Additional Loan”); provided that (a) no Person

shall be added as a party hereto without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld); (b) in no event shall the aggregate amount of all Additional Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6 exceed $75,000,000; and (c) the aggregate amount of all Additional Loans made on any date shall not be less that $15,000,000.

Any Additional Loan shall be pari passu in all respects with the original Loans made hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Banks of the making of any Additional Loan pursuant to this Section 2.6 and of the Percentage of each Bank after giving effect thereto. The Company acknowledges that, in order to maintain Groups in accordance with each Bank’s Percentage, the making of Additional Loans may require conversion of portions of one or more Groups of Eurodollar Tranches on the date of the making of such Additional Loans (and any such conversion shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.4).

3.1 Repayment. Each Loan shall be paid in full on or before the Maturity Date.

The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Banks to the Company and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company hereunder to pay any amount owing hereunder or under any other Loan Document. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Bank and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Bank made through the Administrative Agent, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Bank (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit A (“Note”), which shall evidence such Bank’s Loan in addition to such accounts or records.

Accrued interest on each Eurodollar Tranche shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period relating to such Loan (and, in the case of a Eurodollar Tranche with an Interest Period of six months or longer, on each three-month anniversary of the first day of such Interest Period) and at maturity. After maturity, accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on demand.

4.3 Setting and Notice of Eurodollar Rates. The applicable Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, which shall give notice thereof to the Company and each Bank. Each determination of the applicable Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall, upon written request of the Company or any Bank, deliver to the Company or such Bank a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any applicable Eurodollar Rate hereunder.

4.4 Computation of Interest. All determinations of interest for Base Rate Tranches when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.

Once reduced pursuant to this Section, no Commitment may be increased. All reductions of the Commitment Amount shall reduce the Commitments pro rata among the Banks according to their respective Percentages.

6.2 Mandatory Termination of the Commitments. The Commitments will automatically reduce to zero after the making of the Loans on the Closing Date.

6.3 Prepayments. The Company may from time to time prepay Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, provided that the Company shall give the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Bank) notice thereof not later than (a) 2:30 p.m. on the date of such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), in the case of Base Rate Tranches, and (b) two Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Tranches, in each case specifying the Tranches to be prepaid and the date and amount of prepayment. Subject to Section 2.2, each partial prepayment of a Loan shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000. Prepayments of Loans shall be applied pro rata to the Loans of all Banks in accordance with their Percentages. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Tranche on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall include interest on the principal amount being repaid and shall be subject to Section 8.4. Each notice of prepayment under this Section 3 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice delivered by the Company of the prepayment of Loans in full may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

SECTION 7. MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SETOFF; TAXES.

7.1 Making of Payments. All payments of principal of or interest on the Loans shall be made by the Company to the Administrative Agent at its principal office in Chicago in immediately available funds, in Dollars and without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, not later than noon on the date due, and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next following Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Bank its share (if any) of all such payments received in collected funds by the Administrative Agent. All payments under Section 8.1 shall be made by the Company directly to the Bank entitled thereto.

7.2 Application of Certain Payments. Each payment of principal shall be applied as the Company shall direct by notice to be received by the Administrative Agent on or before the date of such payment or, in the absence of such notice, first, to repay Base Rate Tranches and then, to repay Eurodollar Tranches, with those Eurodollar Tranches having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods. Concurrently with each remittance to any Bank of its share of any such payment, the Administrative Agent shall advise such Bank as to the application of such payment.

7.3 Due Date Extension or Reduction. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless, in the case of a payment of interest on a Eurodollar Tranche, the result of such extension would be to extend the due date for such payment into another calendar month, in which case such due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and any extension or reduction of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees.

7.4 Failure to Make Payments. Unless the Company has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment to be made by it is due, that it does not intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, assume that the Company has timely remitted such payment and may, in its sole and absolute discretion and in reliance thereon, make available such payment to the Person entitled thereto. If such payment was not in fact remitted to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then each Bank shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Bank, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to (a) for the first three days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and (b) thereafter, the Base Rate from time to time in effect.

7.5 Setoff. The Company agrees that the Administrative Agent and each Bank have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, the Company agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent, each Bank and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Affiliate thereof, may apply to the payment of any obligations of the Company hereunder, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Company then or thereafter with the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Affiliate. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Bank or such Affiliate; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

7.6 Proration of Payments. If any Bank shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 8.7 or in connection with an assignment or participation pursuant to Section 14.8, or any other payment or recovery made on a non-ratable basis pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document) on account of principal of or interest on its Loan in excess of its pro rata share (or other share specified hereunder or under any other applicable Loan Document) of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Banks on account of principal of and interest on Loans (or such participations) then held by them, such Bank shall purchase from the other Banks such participation in the Loans held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery.

7.7 Taxes. (a) All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by any Bank’s net income or receipts and any United States withholding taxes imposed by FATCA (all non-excluded items being called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Company hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Company will:

(i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(iii) (except to the extent such withholding or deduction would not be required if such Bank’s Exemption Representation were true) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks such additional amount or amounts as are necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Bank will equal the full amount such Bank would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Bank with respect to any payment received by the Administrative Agent or such Bank hereunder, the Administrative Agent or such Bank may pay such Taxes and the Company will (except to the extent such Taxes are payable by a Bank and would not have been payable if such Bank’s Exemption Representation were true), promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest and expense) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted.

(b) If the Company fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Banks, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the Banks for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Bank as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 7.7, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any Bank to or for the account of any Bank shall be deemed a payment by the Company.

(c) Each Bank represents and warrants (such Bank’s “Exemption Representation”) to the Company and the Administrative Agent that, as of the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of an Assignee, the date it becomes a party hereto), it is entitled to receive payments hereunder without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof.

(d) Upon the request from time to time of the Company or the Administrative Agent, each Bank that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America shall execute and deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent one or more (as the Company or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-8BEN or such other forms or documents, appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such Bank is exempt from withholding or deduction of Taxes. Without limiting the foregoing, if a payment made to a Bank under a Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank 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 Bank shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Comapny or the Administrative 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 the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Person to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 7.7(d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the First Amendment Effective Date, whether or not such amendments are included in the definition set forth in Section 1. Each Bank 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 the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(e) If, and to the extent that, any Bank shall obtain a credit or other tax benefit with respect to any Taxes indemnified or paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.7, such Bank agrees to promptly notify the Company thereof and thereupon to use reasonable efforts to provide the Company the benefit of such credit or other tax benefit.

(f) Each Bank shall, promptly upon request by the Company, deliver to the Company copies of all completed and executed forms reasonably deemed necessary by the Company in connection with the payment of amounts demanded by such Bank pursuant to the foregoing clause (a).

SECTION 8. INCREASED COSTS; SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR EURODOLLAR TRANCHES.

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

(i) shall subject any Bank (or any Eurodollar Office of such Bank) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any portion of its Loan being maintained as a Eurodollar Tranche, its Note or its obligation to make a Loan, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Tranche or any other amount due under this Agreement in respect of any Eurodollar Tranche Loans or its obligation to maintain portions of its Loan as Eurodollar Tranches (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank or its Eurodollar Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Bank’s principal executive office or Eurodollar Office is located); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of interest rates pursuant to Section 4), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any Bank (or any Eurodollar Office of such Bank); or

(iii) shall impose on any Bank (or its Eurodollar Office) any other condition affecting its Loan or its Note or its obligation to maintain Eurodollar Tranches;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or in the case of Regulation D of the FRB, to impose a cost on) such Bank (or any Eurodollar Office of such Bank) of making or maintaining any portion of its Loan as part of a Eurodollar Tranche, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Eurodollar Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto (in each case after giving effect to any interest earned or to be earned on any reserve or special deposit of the type described in clause (ii) above), then within 10 Business Days after written demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent) to the Company, so long as such demand is substantially consistent with demands made by such Bank with similarly situated customers of such Bank under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 8.1(a), the Company shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such controlling Person for such increased cost or such reduction.

(b) If any Bank shall reasonably determine that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or its controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Bank or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, within 10 Business Days after written demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent) to the Company, so long as such demand is substantially consistent with demands made by such Bank with similarly situated customers of such Bank under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 8.1(b), the Company shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such controlling Person for such reduction.

8.2 Inability to Determine Rates, etc. If with respect to any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on the Company) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Eurodollar Rate; or

(b) Banks having an aggregate Percentage of 40% or more advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of maintaining or funding such Eurodollar Tranches for such Interest Period (taking into account any amount to which such Banks may be entitled under Section 8.1) or that the making or funding of Eurodollar Tranches has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in the opinion of such Banks materially affects such Loans;

then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) no Bank shall be under any obligation to make or convert into Eurodollar Tranches, (ii) with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended and (iii) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each Eurodollar Tranche, such Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Tranche. The Administrative Agent shall promptly revoke any such notice at such time as the applicable circumstances shall no longer continue; provided that, in the case of any such notice made pursuant to clause (b) above, the Required Banks shall have consented to such revocation.

8.3 Changes in Law Rendering Eurodollar Lending Unlawful. In the event that any change after the date hereof in (including the adoption of any new) applicable laws or regulations, or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation of applicable laws or regulations by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of any Bank cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for any Bank to make, maintain or fund any portion of its Loan based on the Eurodollar Rate, then such Bank shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, any portion of such Bank’s Loan that otherwise would be made or continued as, or converted into, a Eurodollar Tranche (and, beginning on such date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation, each portion of such Bank’s Loan that is maintained as a Eurodollar Tranche) shall bear interest as if it were a Base Rate Tranche.

8.4 Funding Losses. The Company hereby agrees that upon demand by any Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis in reasonable detail for the amount being claimed, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent), the Company will indemnify such Bank against any net loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur (including any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Tranche), as reasonably determined by such Bank, as a result of (a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any Eurodollar Tranche of such Bank on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan (including any conversion pursuant to Section 8.3) or (b) any failure of the Company to borrow the Loans, or to prepay or continue, or to convert into, a Eurodollar Tranche on a date specified therefor in a notice of borrowing, prepayment, continuation or conversion pursuant to this Agreement. For this purpose, all notices to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

8.5 Right of Banks to Fund through Other Offices. Each Bank may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Eurodollar Tranche by causing a foreign branch or affiliate of such Bank to make the relevant portion of its Loan; provided that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement, such portion of such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Bank and the obligation of the Company to repay the Loan shall nevertheless be to such Bank and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of the applicable Tranche, for the account of such branch or affiliate.

8.6 Discretion of Banks as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loan in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Tranche during each Interest Period for its Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

8.7 Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement or Removal of Affected Bank. (a) Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Bank’s good faith judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by the Company to pay any amount pursuant to Section 7.7 or 8.1 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstance of the nature described in Section 8.2 or 8.3 (and, if any Bank has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Bank shall promptly so notify the Company and the Administrative Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, (x) each Bank will designate a different funding office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to the Company of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence and such designation will not, in such Bank’s good faith judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank; and (y) if any Bank fails to notify the Company of any event or circumstance which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to Section 7.7 or 8.1 within 90 days after such Bank obtains knowledge (or reasonably should have obtained knowledge) of such event or circumstance, then such Bank shall not be entitled to compensation from the Company for any amount arising prior to the date which is 90 days before the date on which such Bank notifies the Company of such event or circumstance.

(b) At any time any Bank is an Affected Bank, the Company may replace such Affected Bank as a party to this Agreement with one or more other bank(s) or financial institution(s) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and upon notice from the Company such Affected Bank shall assign pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, and without recourse or warranty, its Loan, its Note and all of its other rights and obligations hereunder to such replacement bank(s) or other financial institution(s) for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Loan (or portion thereof) so assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, any amounts payable under Section 8.4 as a result of such Bank receiving payment of any Eurodollar Tranche prior to the end of an Interest Period therefor and all other obligations then owed to such Affected Bank hereunder).

In addition to the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if (i) a Bank demands any payment pursuant to Section 8.1(a) and/or Section 8.1(b) and (ii) the payment so demanded is disproportionately greater than the amount of compensation (if any) that the Company is generally obligated to pay to other Banks arising out of the same event or circumstance giving rise to such demand (a “Trigger Event”), then the Company may prepay the Loan of such Bank hereunder in full, provided that (w) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such prepayment, (x) the Company concurrently prepays in full the Loans of each other Bank that has made a demand for payment under Section 8.1(a) and/or 8.1(b) that arises out of such Trigger Event and that is similarly disproportionate to the amount the Company is generally obligated to pay to other Banks arising out of such Trigger Event (together with such Bank, each a “Demanding Bank”), (y) the Administrative Agent shall have consented to all such prepayment(s) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but may include consideration of the adequacy of the Company’s liquidity) and (z) each Demanding Bank has been paid all amounts then due to it under this Agreement and each other Loan Document (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may pay in connection with any such prepayment without making ratable payments to any other Bank (other than another Demanding Bank)). In no event shall the prepayment of a Demanding Bank’s Loan in full in accordance with this paragraph impair or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company to make the payments demanded by such Demanding Bank in accordance with Section 8.1(a) and/or Section 8.1(b).

8.8 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Banks may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 8.1 and 8.4, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Banks to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Banks to make their Loans, the Company represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Banks that:

9.1 Organization, etc. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or equivalent status) under the laws of the State of Wisconsin; each Significant Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or equivalent status) under the laws of the state of its organization; and the Company and each Significant Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary (except to the extent the failure to be so qualified or in good standing (or equivalent status) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) and has full power and authority to own its property and conduct its business as presently conducted by it (except to the extent the failure to have such authority could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).

9.2 Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which it is a party and the borrowings hereunder are within the organizational powers of the Company and each Loan Party, have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action on the part of such Loan Party (including any necessary shareholder, partner or member action), have received all necessary governmental and other third-party approvals (if any shall be required), and do not and will not (a) violate any provision of law or any order, decree or judgment of any court or other government agency which is binding on the Company or any other Loan Party, (b) contravene or conflict with, or result in a breach of, any provision of the certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Company or any other Loan Party or (c) contravene or conflict with, or result in a Lien under, any material agreement, indenture, instrument or other document which is binding on the Company or any other Loan Party.

9.6 Litigation. No litigation (including derivative actions), arbitration proceeding, labor controversy or governmental investigation or proceeding is pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened in writing against the Company or any Subsidiary which could reasonably be expected to (a) have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in Schedule 9.6 or the Company’s report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended January 1, 2011 or on Form 8-K filed with the SEC after the date of such Form 10-K and prior to the date hereof; (b) materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents; or (c) materially and adversely affect the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Banks under the Loan Documents.

9.8 Subsidiaries. As of the First Amendment Effective Date, the Company has no Subsidiaries except those listed in Schedule 9.8.

9.9 Pension Plans and Plan Assets. (5) During the twelve-consecutive-month period prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the making of any Loan hereunder, (i) no steps have been taken to terminate any Pension Plan other than a “standard termination” in accordance with Section 4041(b) of ERISA and (ii) no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a lien securing a material amount under Section 303(k) of ERISA. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) All contributions (if any) have been made to any Multiemployer Pension Plan that are required to be made by the Company or any other member of the Controlled Group under the terms of the plan or of any collective bargaining agreement or by applicable law; neither the Company nor any member of the Controlled Group has withdrawn or partially withdrawn from any Multiemployer Pension Plan, incurred any material withdrawal liability with respect to any such plan or received notice of any claim or demand for material withdrawal liability or partial withdrawal liability from any such plan; and neither the Company nor any member of the Controlled Group has received any notice that any Multiemployer Pension Plan is in reorganization, that increased contributions may be required to avoid a reduction in plan benefits or the imposition of any excise tax, that any such plan is or has been funded at a rate less than that required under Section 412 of the Code, that any such plan is or may be involuntarily terminated, or that any such plan is or may become insolvent; except, in each case under this clause (b), to the extent that the facts and circumstances causing such representation and warranty to be inaccurate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.14 Information. All information heretofore or contemporaneously herewith furnished in writing by the Company or any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or any Bank for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is, and all written information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary to any Bank pursuant hereto or in connection herewith will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date as of which such information is dated or certified, and none of such information is or will be incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information not misleading in light of the circumstances under which made (it being recognized by the Administrative Agent and the Banks that (a) any projections and forecasts provided by the Company are based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Company to be reasonable as of the date of the applicable projections or assumptions and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections and forecasts will likely differ from projected or forecasted results and (b) any information provided by the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to any Person or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary shall, for all periods prior to the date of such Acquisition, be limited to the knowledge of the Company or the acquiring Subsidiary after reasonable inquiry).

Promptly when available, and in any event not later than the earlier of (a) five Business Days after the filing thereof with the SEC and (b) 105 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, a copy of the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year together with audited consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for such Fiscal Year, accompanied by (i) the report of Deloitte & Touche LLP or another nationally-recognized independent registered public accounting firm (the “Independent Auditor”), which report shall (A) state that such consolidated financial statements present fairly the financial position for the periods indicated in conformity with GAAP, and (B) not be qualified or limited because of a restricted or limited examination by the Independent Auditor of any material portion of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s records; provided that if such report of the Independent Auditor is a combined report (that is, one report containing an opinion on such consolidated financial statements, an opinion on internal controls over financial reporting and an opinion on management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting), then such report may include a qualification or limitation relating to the Company’s system of internal controls over financial reporting due to the exclusion of any acquired business from the scope of management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting to the extent such exclusion is permitted under provisions published by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC or another applicable governmental authority; and (ii) a written statement from such accountants to the effect that in making the examination necessary for the signing of such annual audit report by such accountants, they have not become aware of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing or, if they have become aware of any such event, describing it in reasonable detail.

10.1.2 Quarterly Reports.

SECTION 13. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

13.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and neither the Company nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

13.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative 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 Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

13.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

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

(b) 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 Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative 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 bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law; and

(c) 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 the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative 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 Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 12.2 and 14.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a Bank.

The Administrative 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 Event of Default or Unmatured 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 the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any collateral granted under the Loan Documents, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 11 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

13.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative 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) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably 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 the Loans, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the making of its Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), 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.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 11.1, each Bank that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Bank for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Bank prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

13.5 Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank 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.

13.6 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company or any other Loan Party as required by the Loan Documents and without limiting the obligation of the Company or any other Loan Party to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities to the extent that any such unreimbursed Indemnified Liabilities were incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, or against any other Agent-Related Person acting for the Administrative Agent in connection with such capacity; provided that (a) no Bank shall be liable for any payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (b) no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Banks shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence of willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees of attorneys for the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company. The undertaking in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes and the Commitments, any termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

13.7 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent hereunder, and without notice to or consent of the Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or such Subsidiary) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loan, Bank of America and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” include Bank of America and, to the extent applicable, its Affiliates in their individual capacities.

13.8 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Banks and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right, with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required during the existence of an Event of Default), 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 Banks and consented to by the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative 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 Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time as the Required Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 13 and Sections 14.6 and 14.12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative 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 Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

13.9 Withholding Tax. (a) (i) If any Bank is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code (a “Foreign Bank”) and such Bank claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code, such Bank agrees with and in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company:

(A) if such Bank claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN before the payment of any interest in the first calendar year and before the payment of any interest in each third succeeding calendar year during which interest may be paid under this Agreement;

(B) if such Bank claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Bank, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before the payment of any interest is due in the first taxable year of such Bank and in each succeeding taxable year of such Bank during which interest may be paid under this Agreement; and

(C) such other form or forms as may be required under the Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax.

(ii) Each such Bank agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(b) If any Foreign Bank claims exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, such Bank agrees with and in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Company to deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company a Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Bank delivers a Form W-8, a certificate representing that such Bank is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Company and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Company (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)).

(c) If any Bank claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8BEN and such Bank sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the obligations of the Company under the Loan Documents owing to such Bank, such Bank agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of such obligations. To the extent of such percentage amount, the Administrative Agent will treat such Bank’s IRS Form W-8BEN as no longer valid.

(d) If any Bank claiming exemption from United States withholding tax by filing IRS Form W-8ECI with the Administrative Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the obligations of the Company under the Loan Documents owing to such Bank, such Bank agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

(e) If any Bank is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. However, if the forms or other documentation required by clause (a) of this Section are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction.

(f) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Bank (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Bank failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and charges). The obligation of the Banks under this subsection shall survive the payment of all obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

13.10 Guaranty Matters. The Administrative Agent shall, and the Banks irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, upon the written request of the Company, release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty if, after giving effect to such release, the Company is in compliance with Sections 10.11 and 10.16. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Banks will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to this Section 13.10. In addition to the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor that ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted by this Agreement shall be automatically released from the Subsidiary Guaranty upon the consummation of such transaction.

13.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan, reimbursement obligation or other obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other obligations of the Company and the other Loan Parties under the Loan Documents 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 Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 5 and 14.6) 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 Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 5 and 14.6.

Nothing contained herein shall (i) be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations of the Company and the other Loan Parties under the Loan Documents or the rights of any Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank in any such proceeding or (ii) preclude any Bank from filing and proving its own claims against the Company, any other Loan Party or any other Person.

13.12 Other Agents. Except as expressly set forth herein, none of the Banks or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as the “Syndication Agent” or a “Co-Documentation Agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Banks, those applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Banks or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Banks or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

SECTION 14. GENERAL.

14.1 Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the Notes shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Required Banks, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Bank, (ii) extend any scheduled date for payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees

If any Bank does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Bank and that has been approved by the Required Banks, the Company may replace such non-consenting Bank (a “Non-Consenting Bank”) in accordance with Section 8.7(b); provided that such amendment, modification, waiver or consent can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Company to be made pursuant to this paragraph).

Any Bank may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company (which consents shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld and shall not be required for an assignment to another Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund), at any time assign and delegate to one or more commercial banks or other Persons (any Person to whom such an assignment and delegation is to be made being herein called an “Assignee”), all or any fraction of such Bank’s Loan and Commitment (which assignment and delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the assigning Bank’s Commitment or Loan,

as applicable) in an aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000; provided that (a) no assignment and delegation may be made to any Person if, at the time of such assignment and delegation, the Company would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 7.7 or Section 8 to the Assignee than the Company is then obligated to pay to the assigning Bank under such Sections (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, the Company will not be required to pay the incremental amounts) and (b) the Company and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee until the date when all of the following conditions shall have been met:

(x) five Business Days (or such lesser period of time as the Administrative Agent and the assigning Bank shall agree) shall have passed after written notice of such assignment and delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee, shall have been given to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such assigning Bank and the Assignee,

(y) the assigning Bank and the Assignee shall have executed and delivered to the Company and the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D (an “Assignment Agreement”), together with any documents required to be delivered hereunder, which Assignment Agreement shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent, and

From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (x) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder, and (y) the assigning Bank, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its obligations hereunder. Within five Business Days after the effectiveness of any assignment and delegation to a Person that is not currently a Bank hereunder, the Company shall, upon the Assignee’s request, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (for delivery to the Assignee) a new Note dated the effective date of such assignment. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 14.8.1 shall be null and void.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.8.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, (a) no assignment shall be made to (i) the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof, (ii) any Defaulting Bank or any Subsidiary thereof, or any Person which, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii) or (iii) a natural Person, and (b) any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank (but no such assignment shall release any Bank from any of its obligations hereunder).

14.8.2 Participations. Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons participating interests in its Loan, the Note held by such Bank, the Commitment of such Bank or any other interest of such Bank hereunder (any Person purchasing any such participating interest being herein called a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, (x) such Bank shall remain the holder of its Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (y) the Company and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations hereunder and (z) all amounts payable by the Company shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Bank. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any of the events described in the third sentence of Section 14.1. Each Bank agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Bank enters into with any Participant. The Company agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Bank under this Agreement or such Note; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Banks, and the Banks agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 7.6. The Company also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.7 and Section 8 as if it were a Bank (provided that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 7.7 or Section 8 than would have been paid to the participating Bank if no participation had been sold).

14.9 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Company is made to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, or the Administrative Agent or any Bank exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Bank in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and each Bank severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

14.10 Governing Law. This Agreement and each Note shall be a contract made under and governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. All obligations of the Company and rights of the Administrative Agent and the Banks expressed herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law.

14.11 Indemnification by the Company. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent and the Banks and the agreement to extend the Commitment provided hereunder, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Lead Arrangers, each Bank and each of their respective Related Parties (each a “Bank Party”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and charges of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and one counsel for all other Bank Parties (except in each case to the extent that separate counsel would be required as the result of any conflict of interest) and settlement costs (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Bank Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any tender offer, merger, purchase of stock, purchase of assets or other similar transaction financed or proposed to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any of the Loans, (ii) the Commitment, Loans or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) the use, handling, release, emission, discharge, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any Hazardous Substance at any property owned or leased by the Company or any Subsidiary, (iv) any violation of any Environmental Law with respect to conditions at any property owned or leased by the Company or any Subsidiary or the operations conducted thereon, (v) the investigation, cleanup or remediation of offsite locations at which the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly disposed of hazardous substances or (vi) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any of the Bank Parties and, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of the Loan Documents; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Bank Party, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or violation of applicable law by, such Bank Party, (B) result from a breach by such Bank Party of Section 14.14, (C) result from a dispute between such Bank Party and another Bank Party or (D) constitute fees and expenses incurred in connection with the review by such Bank Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than in connection with any enforcement thereof). If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Nothing set forth above shall be construed to relieve any Bank Party from any obligation it may have under this Agreement. No Bank Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Bank Party have any liability for any indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 14.11 shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement from the applicable Bank Party setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail). All obligations provided for in this Section 14.11 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes and any termination of this Agreement.

14.12 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS. THE COMPANY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE. THE COMPANY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID TO SUCH ADDRESS AS DETERMINED PURSUANT TO SECTION 14.3, BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. THE COMPANY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

14.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH BANK HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY BANKING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

14.14 Confidentiality. Each Bank agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information provided to it by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, or by the Administrative Agent on the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s behalf, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with the Company or any Subsidiary; except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Bank or its Affiliates, or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or a Subsidiary, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company known to the Bank; provided that any Bank may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which the Bank is subject or in connection with an examination of such Bank by any such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding involving the Company to which the Administrative Agent, any Bank or their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (F) to such Bank’s independent auditors, trustees and other professional advisors; (G) to any Participant or Assignee, actual or potential, or to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, provided that, in each case, such Person agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent

required of the Banks hereunder; (H) as to any Bank or its Affiliate, as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which the Company or any Subsidiary is party with such Bank or such Affiliate; (I) to its Affiliates, provided that such Affiliate is advised of the confidentiality requirements set forth herein and agrees in writing (for the benefit of the Company) to keep such information confidential to the same extent required hereunder (it being understood that each Bank shall be liable for the breach by any of its Affiliates of any such confidentiality requirement); and (J) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Bank’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Bank. Each Bank will, so long as not prohibited from doing so by any applicable law, notify the Company of any request for information of the type referred to in clause (B) or (C) above prior to disclosing such information so that the Company may seek appropriate relief from any applicable court or other Governmental Authority (but failure to so notify the Company shall not result in any liability to such Bank).

14.15 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Bank that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Company in accordance with the Act.

14.16 No Fiduciary or Implied Duties. The Company acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that in acting as the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent will not have responsibility except as set forth in this Agreement and shall in no event be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties. The Company waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

14.17 Intercreditor Agreement. The Lenders authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, on their behalf, an acknowledgement in the form of Exhibit A to the Intercreditor Agreement so that this Agreement will be an Additional Obligations Agreement (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).

14.18 Most Favored Lender. If at any time (a)(i) the Company enters into any credit agreement, loan agreement, note purchase agreement or other like agreement under which the Company may incur Designated Debt in excess of $50,000,000, including the Note Purchase Agreements and the Senior Notes (a “Principal Lending Agreement”), and (ii) any such Principal Lending Agreement at any time includes a covenant that expressly limits either: (x) the sale, lease or disposition of assets by the Company and/or any Subsidiary during any period of 12 consecutive months to less than 15% of the book value of consolidated tangible assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or (y) the incurrence of Designated Debt by any Foreign Subsidiary, in either case that is not contained in this Agreement, or if such covenant that is contained in the Principal Lending Agreement is more favorable to such creditors of the Company than a similar covenant contained in this Agreement, or (b) the Company issues an additional series of Senior Notes

pursuant to any Supplement (as defined in the applicable Note Purchase Agreement) that has an “additional covenant” (within the meaning of Section 2.2(iii) of the applicable Note Purchase Agreement), the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent not later than 10 days following the date of execution of such Principal Lending Agreement or amendment thereof or Supplement, as the case may be (each a “Subject Agreement”); provided that any such additional covenant shall not impair, diminish or otherwise adversely modify any existing covenants contained herein. Effective on the date of execution of a Subject Agreement, such covenant (or covenants) and related definitions that are contained in such Subject Agreement (collectively, the “Incorporated Covenants”) shall be deemed to have been incorporated herein and any event of default in respect of any such Incorporated Covenant shall be deemed to be an Event of Default hereunder, subject to all applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the right of the Required Banks to waive or not waive any breach thereof (independent of any right of any other creditor of the Company in respect of any such Incorporated Covenants). Without limiting the foregoing, any amendment, elimination or termination of any Incorporated Covenant in accordance with the terms of the applicable Subject Agreement (including as a result of the termination of such Subject Agreement) shall constitute an immediate amendment, elimination or termination, as the case may be, of such Incorporated Covenant hereunder

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

FORM OF
GUARANTY

THIS GUARANTY dated as of June 16, 2008 is executed in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., individually and as Administrative Agent (as defined below), and the Lender Parties (as defined below).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Regal Beloit Corporation (the “Company”), various financial institutions (the “Banks”) and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), have entered into a Term Loan Agreement dated as of June 16, 2008 (the “Loan Agreement;” capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement); and

WHEREAS, each of the undersigned will benefit from the making of loans pursuant to the Loan Agreement and is willing to guaranty the Liabilities (as defined below) as hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the undersigned agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty. Each of the undersigned hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally, and irrevocably, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of (a) all obligations of the Company, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, which arise out of or in connection with the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the same may be amended, modified, restated, extended or renewed from time to time, (b) all Hedging Obligations of the Company to any Lender Party and (c) all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party in enforcing this Guaranty against such undersigned (all such obligations being herein collectively called the “Liabilities”); provided, however, that the liability of each of the undersigned hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount of the Liabilities which such undersigned may guaranty without violating any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law. As used herein, “Lender Party” means the Administrative Agent, each Bank and any Affiliate of a Bank that is a party to an interest rate swap or other agreement pursuant to which the Company has any Hedging Obligations.

Section 2. Payment Prior to Maturity of Liabilities. Each of the undersigned agrees that, in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 12.1.3 of the Loan Agreement, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Liabilities may not then be due and payable, such undersigned will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Parties forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by such undersigned if all Liabilities were then due and payable.

Section 3. Setoff. To secure all obligations of each of the undersigned hereunder, each of the undersigned agrees that the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party shall have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and, at any time an Event of Default exists, may apply toward the payment of such obligations, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of or in the name of such undersigned now or hereafter with the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party. By accepting the benefits hereof, each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender Party; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 4. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance only and not of collectibility, and shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding, without limitation, the dissolution of any of the undersigned, that at any time or from time to time no Liabilities are outstanding or any other circumstance) until all Commitments have terminated and all Liabilities have been paid in full.

Section 5. Returned Payments. Each of the undersigned further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to any of the Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any of the undersigned), such Liabilities shall, for the purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Liabilities, all as though such application by the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party had not been made.

Section 6. Certain Permitted Actions. The Administrative Agent or any Lender Party may, from time to time, at its sole discretion and without notice to the undersigned (or any of them), take any or all of the following actions without affecting the obligations of the undersigned hereunder: (a) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors, in addition to the undersigned, with respect to any of the Liabilities, (b) extend or renew any of the Liabilities for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Liabilities, or release or compromise any obligation of any of the undersigned hereunder or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to any of the Liabilities, and (c) resort to the undersigned (or any of them) for payment of any of the Liabilities when due, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party shall have proceeded against any other of the undersigned or any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Liabilities.

Section 7. Delay of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by or for the account of any of the undersigned pursuant to this Guaranty, the undersigned shall not be subrogated to any rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party until such time as this Guaranty shall have been discontinued as to all of the undersigned and the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties shall have received payment of the full amount of all Liabilities.

Section 8. Certain Waivers. Each of the undersigned hereby expressly waives: (a) notice of the acceptance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party of this Guaranty, (b) notice of the existence or creation or non-payment of any of the Liabilities, (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices whatsoever and (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon any Liabilities or any security for or guaranty of any Liabilities.

Section 9. Additional Liabilities. The creation or existence from time to time of additional Liabilities to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party or any of them is hereby authorized, without notice to the undersigned (or any of them), and shall in no way affect or impair the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party or the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty.

Section 10. Assignment or Transfer of Liabilities. The Administrative Agent and any Lender Party may from time to time, without notice to the undersigned (or any of them), assign or transfer any or all of the Liabilities or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Liabilities shall be and remain Liabilities for the purposes of this Guaranty, and each and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Liabilities or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in the Liabilities, be entitled to the benefits of this Guaranty to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were a Lender Party.

Section 11. General. (a) No delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty be binding upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Administrative Agent (or, if at any time there is no Administrative Agent, the Required Banks or, if required pursuant to Section 14.1 of the Loan Agreement, all Banks). No action of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party or the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty. For purposes of this Guaranty, Liabilities shall include all obligations of the Company to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party arising under or in connection with any Loan Document and all Hedging Obligations to any Lender Party, notwithstanding any right or power of the Company or anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such obligation, and no such claim or defense shall affect or impair the obligations of the undersigned hereunder.

(b) Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, (i) this Guaranty has been delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Administrative Agent has been authorized to enforce this Guaranty on behalf of itself and each of the Lender Parties. All payments by the undersigned pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made to the Administrative Agent for ratable application to the Liabilities or, if there is no Administrative Agent, to the Lender Parties for their ratable benefit.

(c) This Guaranty shall be binding upon the undersigned and the successors and assigns of the undersigned; and to the extent that the Company or any of the undersigned is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, all references herein to the Company and to the undersigned, respectively, shall be deemed to include any successor or successors, whether immediate or remote, to such entity. The term “undersigned” as used herein shall mean all parties executing this Guaranty and each of them, and all such parties shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder.

(d) This Guaranty has been delivered at Chicago, Illinois, and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois. Wherever possible each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

(e) This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Guaranty. At any time after the date of this Guaranty, one or more additional Persons may become parties hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an additional signature page for this Guaranty. Immediately upon such execution and delivery (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to, and will be bound by all of the terms of, this Guaranty.

(f) ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE ADDRESS SET FORTH UNDER ITS NAME ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES HEREOF (OR SUCH OTHER ADDRESS AS IT SHALL HAVE SPECIFIED IN WRITING TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES HEREUNDER) OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(g) EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED, AND (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER PARTY, HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS GUARANTY, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

(h) By its acceptance hereof, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will, promptly upon request by the Company (which request shall be accompanied by any documentation the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to confirm that any applicable conditions to the Administrative Agent’s acting upon such request have been satisfied (on which documentation the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely absent written notice to the contrary)), release any of the undersigned from its obligations hereunder if, after giving effect to such release, no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered as of the day and year first above written.
