The Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Company will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Company shall not have so made such payment, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.14. Funding Losses. If the Company makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan or any Euro-Dollar Loan is converted to a different type of Loan (whether such payment or conversion is pursuant to Article 2, 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or if the Company fails to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Euro-Dollar Loans after notice has been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.04(a), 2.08(c) or 2.12(c), the Company shall reimburse each Lender within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to borrow, prepay, convert or continue; provided that such Lender shall have delivered to the Company a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate. Any Lender wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the Company and the Agent, in which case such additional interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans of such Lender shall be payable to such Lender at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall notify the Company at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days prior to each date on which interest is payable on the Euro-Dollar Loans of the amount then due it under this Section 2.16.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.07, the Company and any one or more Restricted Subsidiaries may create, incur, assume or suffer to exist Secured Debt which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an aggregate amount which, together with all other Secured Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions (not including Secured Debt permitted under clauses (a) through (n) above) and the aggregate value of the Sale and Lease-Back Transactions (as defined in Section 5.08) in existence at such time (not including Sale and Lease-Back Transactions the proceeds of which have been or will be applied in accordance with clause (ii) of Section 5.08), does not at the time exceed 10% of Shareowners’ Equity.

Section 5.08. Limitations on Sale and Lease-Back. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, sell or transfer (except to the Company or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, or both) any Principal Property owned by it and which has been in full operation for more than 180 days prior to such sale or transfer with the intention (a) of taking back a lease on such property, except a lease for a temporary period (not exceeding 36 months) and (b) that the use by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such property will be discontinued on or before the expiration of the term of such lease (any such transaction being herein referred to as a “Sale and Lease-Back Transaction”), unless:

(i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.07 hereof, to incur Secured Debt equal in amount to the amount realized or to be realized upon such sale or transfer secured by a mortgage on the property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the Loans; or

(ii) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary shall, within 180 days of the effective date of any such transaction, apply an amount equal to the value of the property so leased (x) to the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement) of Consolidated Funded Debt or Debt then outstanding of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that was Funded Debt at the time it was created (other than Consolidated Funded Debt or such other Debt owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) or (y) to the

purchase of Principal Property having a value at least equal to the value of such property; provided, however, that the amount to be so applied pursuant to the preceding clause (x) or (y) shall be reduced by (A) the principal amount of any Loans repaid within 180 days of the effective date of any such transaction and (B) the principal amount of Consolidated Funded Debt or Debt that was Funded Debt at the time it was created (other than Loans) retired by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary within 180 days of the effective date of any such transaction; or

(iii) the Sale and Lease-Back Transaction involved was an industrial revenue bond, pollution control bond or similar financing arrangement between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Federal, State or municipal government or other governmental body or agency.

The term “value” shall mean, with respect to a Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, as of any particular time, the amount equal to the greater of (x) the net proceeds of the sale of the property leased pursuant to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction or (y) the fair value of such property at the time of entering into such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, as determined by the board of directors of the Company (or a duly authorized committee thereof), in either case divided first by the number of full years of the term of the lease and then multiplied by the number of full years of such term remaining at the time of determination, without regard to any renewal or extension options contained in the lease.

Section 5.09. Limitations on Change in Subsidiary Status. The Company may designate any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or as a Restricted Subsidiary, subject to the provisions set forth below:

(a) the Company will not permit any Subsidiary to be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless at the time of such designation the Subsidiary so designated does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock of any Restricted Subsidiary or any Funded Debt or Secured Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(b) the Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to be designated as, or otherwise to become, an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless immediately after such Restricted Subsidiary becomes an Unrestricted Subsidiary, no Default shall exist;

(c) the Company will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary unless immediately after such Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, no Default shall exist; and

(d) promptly after the designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or as a Restricted Subsidiary, there shall be filed with the Agent, a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Company stating that the provisions of this Section 5.09 have been complied with in connection with such designation.

ARTICLE 6

Each Lender irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the Notes as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arranger shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or a Lender hereunder.

Section 7.02. Agent and Affiliates. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

Section 7.03. Action by Agent. The obligations of the Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.

Section 7.04. Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.05. Liability of Agent. Neither the Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (a) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or, when expressly required hereby, all the Lenders or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or the Borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Company; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 3, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. The Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, facsimile transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.

Section 7.06. Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment, indemnify the Agent, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees, to the extent acting on behalf of the Agent and to the extent not reimbursed by the Company, against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder or thereunder.

Section 7.07. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, 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 Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender,

and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

Section 7.08. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Agent. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time following the occurrence of an Agent Resignation Event and upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and the effective date of such retiring Agent’s resignation, which effective date shall be no earlier than three Domestic Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.

ARTICLE 8

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Loans:

(a) the Agent determines that (i) deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not generally available in the relevant market for such Interest Period or (ii) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Dollar Rate, or

(b) in the case of Euro-Dollar Loans, Lenders having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments advise the Agent that the London Interbank Offered Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period,

the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Company notifies the Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing for which the Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 8.02. Illegality. (a) If a Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Lender shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Company, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Company and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans or continue outstanding Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02, such Lender shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b) If such notice is given, each Euro-Dollar Loan of such Lender then outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Dollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Dollar Loan to such day or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Dollar Loan to such day. Interest and principal on any such Base Rate Loan shall be payable on the same dates as, and on a pro rata basis with, the interest and principal payable on the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Lenders.

Section 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If a Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, so long as such Lender generally requires similar obligors under other credit facilities of this type made available by such Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that a Change in Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, so long as such Lender generally requires similar obligors under other credit facilities of this type made available by such Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its Parent) for such reduction.

(c) If a Change in Law shall subject any Lender to any taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Taxes described in clauses (a) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations hereunder, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum

received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, so long as such Lender generally requires similar obligors under other credit facilities of this type made available by such Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(d) Each Lender will promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 8.03 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Notwithstanding the foregoing subsections of this Section 8.03, the Company shall only be obligated to compensate any Lender for any amount arising or accruing during (i) any time or period commencing not more than 90 days prior to the date on which such Lender notifies the Agent and the Company that it proposes to demand such compensation and identifies to the Agent and the Company the statute, regulation or other basis upon which the claimed compensation is or will be based and (ii) any time or period during which, because of the retroactive application of such statute, regulation or other such basis, such Lender did not know that such amount would arise or accrue.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, as the case may be; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 8.03 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 8.04. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Company to or for the account of any Lender or the Agent under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”), except as required by applicable law. If the Company or the Agent (the “Withholding Agent”) shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender or the Agent, (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after making such deductions (including such deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.04) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been required; (ii) such Withholding Agent shall make such deductions; (iii) such Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) if the Withholding Agent is the Company, the Company shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence satisfactory to the Agent.

(b) In addition, except to the extent attributable to a transfer under Section 9.06, the Company agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary Taxes and any other excise or property Taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the

execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Company agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.04) paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any party hereunder pursuant to this Section 8.04 for penalties, interest or similar liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto to the extent such penalties, interest or similar liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct by such party. This indemnification shall be paid within 15 days after such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Company or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will enable the Company or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 8.04(e), (f), (g) and (h) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(e) Without limiting the foregoing, at the times indicated herein, each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall provide the Company and the Agent with duly and accurately executed originals of Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY (accompanied by a form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-9 or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable) or W-8ECI (in each case accompanied by any statements which may be required under applicable Treasury regulations), as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying (if applicable) that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement (i) without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Taxes or (ii) subject to a reduced rate of United States federal withholding Tax, unless, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) of this Section 8.04(e), an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or which would prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and the Lender advises the Company and the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments subject to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax or without any deduction or withholding of such Taxes. Such forms shall be provided (x) on or prior to the date of the Lender’s execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof, and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and (y) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by the Lender. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding Tax rate in excess of zero or if at such time such Lender is otherwise subject to a United States interest withholding Tax rate in excess of zero, United States withholding Tax at such rate shall be considered “Excluded Taxes”, except to the extent the assignor of such Lender was entitled, at the time of such assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Company with respect to such withholding Taxes

pursuant to Section 8.04(a). In addition, to the extent that for reasons other than a change of treaty, law or regulation any Lender becomes subject to an increased rate of United States interest withholding Tax while it is a party to this Agreement, United States withholding Tax at such increased rate shall be considered “Excluded Taxes”.

(f) Any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Company and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Agent), duly and accurately executed originals of Internal Revenue Service form W-9 certifying, to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, that such Lender is not subject to U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, such Tax is an “Excluded Tax”.

(g) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as may be necessary for the Company or the Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this Section 8.04(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement, whether or not included in the definition of FATCA.

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

(i) For any period with respect to which a Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States has failed to provide the Company and the Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.04(e) (unless such failure is excused by the terms of Section 8.04(e)), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.04(a) or 8.04(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States.

(j) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent for any Taxes and Excluded Taxes (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Agent for such Taxes and Excluded Taxes and without limiting or expanding the obligation, if any, of the Company to do so), in each case attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date the Agent makes demand therefor.

(k) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.04 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the resignation or replacement of the Agent, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document, subject to Section 8.03(d).

(l) If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.04, it shall pay over such refund to the Company (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the

Company under this Section 8.04 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses with respect to such refund of the Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that in no event will the Agent or the Lender be required to pay the Company any amount pursuant to this Section 8.04(l) which would place it in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid; provided, further, that the Company, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 8.04(l) shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

Section 8.05. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans. If (a) the obligation of any Lender to make, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or to, Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (b) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans and the Company shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section 8.05 shall apply to such Lender, then, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or continued as or converted to) Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Lenders). If such Lender notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Lenders.

Section 8.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 8.03, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 8.04, then such Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.03 or Section 8.04, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 8.03, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 8.04, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or an Affected Lender or invokes Section 8.02, or if any Lender shall refuse to consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification that would otherwise require such Lender’s consent but to which the Required Lenders have consented, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.06), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than its existing rights under Sections 8.03 and 8.04) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) in the case of any such assignment to a Person that is not a Lender, the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have

received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company or the relevant Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payment.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Agent and the applicable Lender. The Agent or the Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Section 9.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 9.03. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, limited in the case of counsel to the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single special counsel for the Agent, in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and each Lender, limited in the case of counsel to the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single outside counsel for the Agent and the Lenders (and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Persons), taken as a whole, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and

hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (but limited, in the case of counsel, to the reasonable attorney’s fees of a single outside counsel for the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, except solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnitees), which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any actual or proposed use of any proceeds of any Loans hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses (i) to the extent resulting from such Indemnitee’s or any of its Related Parties’ gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach by such Indemnitee or by any of its Related Parties of any obligations hereunder, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, or (ii) to the extent arising from any brought or threatened investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding solely among Indemnitees other than any claims involving the Agent or Arranger in its capacity as such and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission by the Company or any of its Affiliates. A “Related Party” of an indemnified Person means (1) any controlling Person or controlled affiliate of such indemnified Person, (2) the respective directors, officers or employees of such indemnified Person or any of its controlling Persons or controlled affiliates and (3) the respective agents or representatives of such indemnified Person or any of its controlling Persons or controlled affiliates, in the case of this clause (3), acting on behalf of or at the instructions of such indemnified Person, controlling Person or controlled affiliate. The Company shall not be liable for any compromise or settlement entered into by an indemnified person without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Promptly after the receipt by the indemnified person of notice of its involvement in any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, such indemnified person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this indemnification, notify the Company in writing of such involvement, unless prohibited by applicable law or regulations or if requested by any governmental agency or other regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory organization having, or claiming to have, jurisdiction), but failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability which it may otherwise have to the indemnified person under this indemnification except to the extent that the Company actually suffers prejudice as a result of such failure. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 9.04. Sharing of Set-offs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then due with respect to the Loans held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then due with respect to the Loans held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section 9.04 shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Company other than its indebtedness hereunder. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan, if acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements or if the Company has otherwise received notice of the granting of such participation, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

Section 9.05. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company

and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall (a) unless signed by each Lender affected by such amendment or waiver, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Lender (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Lenders) or subject any Lender to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for the termination of any Commitment or (b) unless signed by all Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender), change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Lenders which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Section 9.05 or any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 9.06. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

(b) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment, including all or a portion of its Loans at the time owing to it. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Company and the Agent, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 9.05 without the consent of the Participant. The Company agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article 8 with respect to its participating interest; provided the Participant complies with the obligations of Sections 8.04(d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required shall be delivered to the selling Lender and, if required by law for reduced withholding, copies shall be delivered to the Company and the Agent). An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or, if different, under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(c) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other institutions (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part (equivalent to an initial Commitment or Loan of not less than $5,000,000) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and its Note, and such Assignee shall

assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Lender, with (and subject to) the consent of (i) prior to the Closing Date, the Company in its sole discretion; provided that if an Assignee was a Lender immediately before such assignment, no consent of the Company shall be required, and (ii) on and after the Closing Date, the Agent and (so long as no Event of Default exists) of the Company, such consents of the Company and the Agent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that with respect to any assignment on and after the Closing Date, (x) if an Assignee is an Approved Fund, an affiliate of such transferor Lender or was a Lender immediately before such assignment, no consent of the Company shall be required and (y) the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten Domestic Business Days after having received notice thereof. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the Agent shall record in the Register the information relating to such assignment, and the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Company shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if the underlying Note is outstanding, a new Note is issued to the Assignee. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If the Assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Company and the Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Taxes in accordance with Section 8.04. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Lender’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Company’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring such Lender to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

Section 9.07. Designated Lenders. (a) Subject to the provisions of this subsection (a), any Lender may at any time designate an Eligible Designee to provide all or a portion of the Loans to be made by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement; provided that such designation shall not be effective unless the Company and the Agent consent thereto (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld). When a Lender and its Eligible Designee shall have signed an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Designation Agreement”) and the Company and the Agent shall have signed their respective

consents thereto, such Eligible Designee shall become a Designated Lender for purposes of this Agreement. The Designating Lender shall thereafter have the right to permit such Designated Lender to provide all or a portion of the Loans to be made by such Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.01, and the making of such Loans or portion thereof shall satisfy the obligation of the Designating Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loans or portion thereof were made by the Designating Lender. As to any Loans or portion thereof made by it, each Designated Lender shall have all the rights that a Lender making such Loans or portion thereof would have had under this Agreement and otherwise; provided that (x) its voting rights under this Agreement shall be exercised solely by its Designating Lender and (y) its Designating Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such Designated Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, including its obligations in respect of the Loans or portion thereof made by it. No additional Note shall be required to evidence the Loans or portion thereof made by a Designated Lender; and the Designating Lender shall be deemed to hold its Note as agent for its Designated Lender to the extent of the Loans or portion thereof funded by such Designated Lender. Each Designating Lender shall act as administrative agent for its Designated Lender and give and receive notices and other communications on its behalf. Any payments for the account of any Designated Lender shall be paid to its Designating Lender as administrative agent for such Designated Lender and neither the Company nor the Agent shall be responsible for any Designating Lender’s application of such payments. In addition, any Designated Lender may, with notice to (but without the prior written consent of) the Company and the Agent, (i) assign all or portions of its interest in any Loans to its Designating Lender or to any financial institutions consented to by the Company and the Agent that provide liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such Designated Lender to support the funding of Loans or portions thereof made by it and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis pursuant to a confidentiality agreement satisfactory in form and substance to the Company any non-public information relating to its Loans or portions thereof to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any guarantee, surety, credit or liquidity enhancement to such Designated Lender.

(b) Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, any Designated Lender any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a day after all outstanding senior indebtedness of such Designated Lender is paid in full. The Designating Lender for each Designated Lender agrees to indemnify, save, and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and expense arising out of its inability to institute any such proceeding against such Designated Lender. This subsection (b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Each Lender that designates a Designated Lender to provide all or a portion of the Loans to be made by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Designated Lender and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Designated Lender’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Designated Lender Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Designated Lender Register to any Person (including the identity of any Designated Lender or any information relating to a Designated Lender’s interest in any commitment, loan, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or, if different, under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. The entries in the Designated Lender Register shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Designated Lender Register as the owner of such Loan for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Section 9.08. Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Agent and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 9.09. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York; provided that each of (i) the interpretation of the definition of Acquired Entity Material Adverse Effect and the determination of whether there shall have occurred an Acquired Entity Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the occurrence of the Acquisition Agreement Representation Condition (including whether as a result thereof the Company or its applicable affiliate has the right or would have had the right to terminate its obligations (or the right not to consummate the Acquisition) under the Acquisition Agreement) and (iii) the determination of whether the Acquisition has been consummated as contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The Company hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City, for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 9.10. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and, except as expressly provided in the Commitment Letter or in the Fee Letter, supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 9.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to their and their affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, third party service providers and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) (in which case the Agent or such Lender, to the extent practicable and so long as it is permitted by law or applicable regulatory authority and except in connection with any request as part of a regulatory examination or audit, agrees to inform the Company promptly thereof), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case the Agent or such Lender, to the extent practicable and so long as it is permitted by law or applicable regulatory authority and except in connection with any order or request as part of a regulatory examination or audit, agrees to inform the Company promptly thereof), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, (i) to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) to any direct or indirect contractual

counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.12), (g) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issues with respect to such Lender, (h) with the consent of the Company or (i) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means all information received directly or indirectly from the Company relating to the Company or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.13. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot 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 Lender to identify the Company in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 9.14. No Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Company acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its affiliates’ understanding that (i)(A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agent and the Lenders (and any provided by the Arranger) (as used in this paragraph “Agent and Lender Parties”) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Company and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent and Lender Parties, on the other hand, (B) the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate and (C) the Company is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii)(A) each of the Agent and Lender Parties is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Company or any of its affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Agent and Lender Parties has any obligation to the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Agent and Lender Parties and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and its affiliates, and none of the Agent and Lender Parties has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company or any of its affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agent and Lender Parties with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 9.15. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

For purposes of this Pricing Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Level 1 Pricing” applies on any day if on such day the Company’s unsecured long-term debt is rated BBB+ or higher by S&P or Baa1 or higher by Moody’s.

“Level 2 Pricing” applies on any day if on such day Xxxxx 0 Pricing does not apply and the Company’s unsecured long-term debt is rated BBB or higher by S&P or Baa2 or higher by Moody’s.

“Level 3 Pricing” applies on any day if no other Pricing Level applies on such day.

“Moody’s” means Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. (and any successor thereto).

“Pricing Level” refers to the determination of which of Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 0 Pricing or Xxxxx 0 Pricing applies. Level 1 Pricing is the lowest Pricing Level and Level 3 Pricing the highest.

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of S&P Global Inc. (or any successor thereto).

The credit ratings to be utilized for purposes of this Pricing Schedule are those assigned to the senior unsecured long-term debt securities of the Company without third-party credit enhancement, and

any rating assigned to any other debt security of the Company shall be disregarded. The credit ratings in effect on any day are those in effect at the close of business on such day. If the Company is split-rated and the ratings differential is one notch, the higher of the two ratings will apply (e.g., BBB+/Baa2 results in Level 1 Pricing). If the Company is split-rated and the ratings differential is more than one notch, the average of the two ratings (or the higher of two intermediate ratings) shall be used (e.g., BBB-/Baa1 results in Level 2 Pricing, as does BBB+/Baa3). If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Company and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend the related definition in this Pricing Schedule to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the rating shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

[WHEREAS, a Loan made to the Company by the Assignor under the Credit Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $__________ is outstanding at the date hereof;]2 and

WHEREAS, the Assignor proposes to assign to the Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement in respect of a portion of its [Commitment] [Loan] thereunder in an amount equal to $__________ (the “Assigned Amount”), [together with a corresponding portion of its outstanding Loan,] and the Assignee proposes to accept assignment of such rights and assume the corresponding obligations from the Assignor on such terms;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 2. Assignment. The Assignor hereby assigns and sells to the Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Amount, and the Assignee hereby accepts such assignment from the Assignor and assumes all of the obligations of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Amount[, including the purchase from the Assignor of the corresponding portion of its outstanding Loan at the date hereof]. Upon the execution and delivery hereof by the Assignor, the Assignee, the Company and the Agent and the payment of the amounts specified in Section 3 required to be paid on the date hereof (i)

1 Insert for assignment of Commitments prior to the Closing Date.

2 Insert for assignment of Loans after the Closing Date.

B-1

the Assignee shall, as of the date hereof, succeed to the rights and be obligated to perform the obligations of a Lender under the Credit Agreement with a [Commitment] [Loan] in an amount equal to the Assigned Amount [and acquire the rights of the Assignor with respect to a corresponding portion of its outstanding Loan]; and (ii) the [Commitment] [Loan] of the Assignor shall, as of the date hereof, be reduced by a like amount and the Assignor released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement to the extent such obligations have been assumed by the Assignee. The assignment provided for herein shall be without recourse to the Assignor.

SECTION 3. Payments. As consideration for the assignment and sale contemplated in Section 2 hereof, the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor on the date hereof in Federal funds the amount heretofore agreed between them.* It is understood that any fees accrued to the date hereof are for the account of the Assignor and such fees accruing from and including the date hereof with respect to the Assigned Amount are for the account of the Assignee. Each of the Assignor and the Assignee hereby agrees that if it receives any amount under the Credit Agreement which is for the account of the other party hereto, it shall receive the same for the account of such other party to the extent of such other party’s interest therein and shall promptly pay the same to such other party.

SECTION 4. Consent of the Company and the Agent. This Agreement is conditioned upon the consent of [the Agent and the Company] pursuant to Section 9.06(c) of the Credit Agreement. The execution of this Agreement by [the Agent and the Company] is evidence of this consent.

SECTION 6. Non-Reliance on Assignor. The Assignor makes no representation or warranty in connection with, and shall have no responsibility with respect to, the solvency, financial condition, or statements of the Company, or the validity and enforceability of the obligations of the Company in respect of the Credit Agreement or any Note. The Assignee acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on the Assignor, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and will continue to be responsible for making its own independent appraisal of the business, affairs and financial condition of the Company.

* Amount should combine principal together with accrued interest and breakage compensation, if any, to be paid by Assignee, net of any portion of any upfront fee to be paid by the Assignor to the Assignee. It may be preferable in an appropriate case to specify these amounts generically or by formula rather than as a fixed sum.

[FORM OF] SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

The undersigned, [·], Chief Financial Officer of Rockwell Xxxxxxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) hereby certifies, on behalf of the Company, pursuant to Section 3.02(c) of the Bridge Credit Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2016 (the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement), among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, to the Agent and the Lenders that the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, after giving effect to the Transactions, are Solvent.

“Solvent” means, as of any date of determination, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, exceeds the debts and liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (c) the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured and (d) the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis do not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date, in each case, on such date. The amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

[REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK; SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS]
