Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the audited financial statements of Retail Properties of America, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2017 , which are included in its 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in the Annual Report have been omitted from this Quarterly Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary, all of which were of normal recurring nature, for a fair presentation have been included in this Quarterly Report.

(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Retail Properties of America, Inc. (the Company) was formed on March 5, 2003 and its primary purpose is to own and operate high quality, strategically located shopping centers in the United States.

The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The Company believes it qualifies for taxation as a REIT and, as such, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary that has jointly elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate tax rates. The income tax expense incurred by the TRS did not have a material impact on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to useful lives of assets, capitalization of development costs, fair value measurements, provision for impairment, including estimates of holding periods, capitalization rates and discount rates (where applicable), provision for income taxes, recoverable amounts of receivables, deferred taxes and initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to property acquisitions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

All share amounts and dollar amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, are stated in thousands with the exception of per share amounts and per square foot amounts.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all wholly-owned subsidiaries and any consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Wholly-owned subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability companies, limited partnerships and statutory trusts.

The Company’s property ownership as of March 31, 2018 is summarized below:



	Wholly-owned (a)
Retail operating properties	106

Redevelopment properties	1

(a)

Excludes (i) Schaumburg Towers, the Company’s one remaining office complex which is classified as held for sale, (ii) one property where the Company has begun activities in anticipation of future redevelopment and (iii) the redevelopment portion of Circle East, formerly known as Towson Circle, which has been combined with the Company’s neighboring retail operating property formerly known as Towson Square. This combination reduced the Company’s redevelopment property count by one .

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Refer to the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a summary of its significant accounting policies. Except as disclosed below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies in the three months ended March 31, 2018 .

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , on a modified retrospective basis. This new guidance replaces existing revenue recognition standards. The core principle of this standard is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue follows the existing leasing guidance and is not impacted by the adoption of this standard, however, the sale of investment property is required to follow the new guidance as well as ASU 2017-05, Other Income–Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets discussed below. The sale of investment property is reported as “gain on sales of investment properties” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) and further discussed in Note 4 – Dispositions. The adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as substantially all of its revenue falls outside of the scope of this guidance.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-05, Other Income–Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets , on a modified retrospective basis. This new pronouncement, which adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets and clarifies the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets , applies to the derecognition of all nonfinancial assets (including real estate) for which the counterparty is not a customer. The sale of investment property is reported as “gain on sales of investment properties” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) and further discussed in Note 4 – Dispositions. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the adoption of the new guidance did not result in a change to the timing or amount of gain recognized upon disposition as compared to the previous guidance.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall , on a prospective basis. This new guidance requires companies to disclose the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost in accordance with the exit price notion, which is consistent with the Company’s existing practices, and no longer requires disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used, including any changes, to estimate fair value. In addition, companies are required to disclose all financial assets and financial liabilities grouped by (i) measurement category and (ii) form of financial instrument. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging , as of January 1, 2018. This new guidance amends the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results in an entity’s financial statements. It also eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. Entities are now required to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which they report the earnings effect of the hedged item. In addition, entities may perform the initial quantitative assessment of hedge effectiveness at any time after hedge designation, but no later than the first quarterly effectiveness testing date, and subsequent assessments of hedge effectiveness may be performed qualitatively unless facts and circumstances change. Disclosure requirements have been modified to include a tabular disclosure related to the effect of hedging instruments on the income statement and the requirement to disclose the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of such instruments has been eliminated. The adoption of this pronouncement resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of $12 to accumulated other comprehensive income and accumulated distributions in excess of earnings related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . This new guidance is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and will require lessees to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use (ROU) asset, initially measured at the present value of lease payments, for both operating and financing leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lessees will be permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets. Upon adoption, the Company will recognize a lease liability and an ROU asset for operating leases where it is the lessee, such as ground leases and office leases. The Company is in the process of evaluating the inputs required to calculate the amounts that will be recorded on its balance sheet for each lease. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, the Company expects to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets. Under this new pronouncement, lessor accounting for lease components will be largely unchanged from existing GAAP. Only incremental direct leasing costs may be capitalized under the new guidance, which is consistent with the Company’s existing policies. The pronouncement allows some optional practical expedients. The Company expects to adopt this new guidance on January 1, 2019 and will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance until it becomes effective.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses . This new guidance is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2019, and replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. Financial assets that are measured at amortized cost will be required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected with an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis. In addition, an entity must consider broader information in developing its expected credit loss estimate, including the use of forecasted information. Generally, the pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance until it becomes effective.

The Company derecognized building and improvements of $11,347 related to the remaining ground lease, recognized the fair value of land received of $15,200 and recorded a deferred gain of $2,524 as of March 31, 2017, which was recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2017 upon the expiration of the ground lease on approximately 20 acres. The total number of properties in the Company’s portfolio was not affected by this transaction.


(c)	The Company acquired an additional phase at its One Loudoun Downtown multi-tenant retail operating property, which was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The total number of properties in the Company’s portfolio was not affected by this transaction.


(d)	Acquisition price does not include capitalized closing costs and adjustments totaling $2,394 .

The following table summarizes the acquisition date values, before prorations, the Company recorded in conjunction with the acquisitions discussed above:

(b)	The weighted average amortization period for acquired lease intangible liabilities is 13 years for acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Variable Interest Entities

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , the Company entered into an agreement with a qualified intermediary related to a 1031 Exchange. The Company loaned $87,452 to the VIEs to acquire Main Street Promenade on January 13, 2017. The 1031 Exchange was completed during the year ended December 31, 2017 and, in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code, within 180 days after the acquisition date of the property. At the completion of the 1031 Exchange, the sole membership interests of the VIEs were assigned to the Company in satisfaction of the outstanding loan, resulting in the entities being wholly owned by the Company and no longer considered VIEs.

Prior to the completion of the 1031 Exchange, the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of each VIE as it had the ability to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact their economic performance and had all of the risks and rewards of ownership. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the VIEs. No value or income was attributed to the noncontrolling interest. The assets of the VIEs consisted of the investment property, Main Street Promenade, which was operated by the Company.

(4) DISPOSITIONS

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and ASU 2017-05, Other Income–Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets on a modified retrospective basis. The dispositions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2018 were not considered to be contracts with customers as defined in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , as they are not considered an output of the Company’s ordinary business activities. Rather, the dispositions follow the new guidance of ASU 2017-05, Other Income–Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets . The adoption on a modified retrospective basis requires the guidance and related disclosure requirements of ASU 2017-05 to be followed for contracts related to the sale of investment properties completed during the three months ended March 31, 2018 . Disclosures related to periods prior to January 1, 2018 for the sale of investment properties are not impacted by the adoption.

Under the new guidance, derecognition of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets, including real estate, and the related gains on sale of investment properties are recognized when (i) the parties to the sale contract have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations; (ii) the Company can identify each party’s rights regarding the property transferred; (iii) the Company can identify the payment terms for the property transferred; (iv) the contract has commercial substance (that is, the risk, timing or amount of the entity’s future cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract); and (v) the Company has satisfied its performance obligations by transferring control of the property. Typically, the timing of payment and satisfaction of performance obligations occur simultaneously on the disposition date upon transfer of the property’s ownership.

Unsecured Credit Facility

On January 6, 2016, the Company entered into its fourth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement (Unsecured Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of financial institutions led by KeyBank National Association serving as administrative agent and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serving as syndication agent to provide for an unsecured credit facility aggregating $1,200,000 (Unsecured Credit Facility). The Unsecured Credit Facility consists of a $750,000 unsecured revolving line of credit, a $250,000 unsecured term loan and a second unsecured term loan which had an outstanding balance of $200,000 at inception, of which the Company repaid $100,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017, and is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. The Company received investment grade credit ratings from Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s in 2014. In accordance with the Unsecured Credit Agreement, the Company may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

Term Loan Due 2023

On January 3, 2017, the Company received funding on a seven -year $200,000 unsecured term loan with a group of financial institutions, which closed during the year ended December 31, 2016. The Term Loan Due 2023 is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. In accordance with the term loan agreement (Term Loan Agreement), the Company may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of March 31, 2018 , making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, the Company has not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

The following table summarizes the key terms of the Term Loan Due 2023:

The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and add stability to interest expense. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

As of March 31, 2018 , the Company used five interest rate swaps to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable rate debt. Changes in fair value of the derivatives that are designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $1,319 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense. Prior to January 1, 2018, only the effective portion of changes in fair value of the derivatives that were designated and that qualified as cash flow hedges was recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives was recognized directly in earnings.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2018 , which effectively convert one-month floating rate LIBOR to a fixed rate:



Effective Date	Notional		Fixed Interest Rate		Maturity Date
January 3, 2017	$	100,000	1.26	%	November 22, 2018
January 3, 2017	$	100,000	1.26	%	November 22, 2018

December 29, 2017	$	50,000	2.00	%	January 5, 2021

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:



	Number of Instruments		Notional

(10) EQUITY

In December 2015, the Company entered into an at-the-market (ATM) equity program under which it may issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000 , from time to time. Actual sales may depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions and the trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock. Any net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the funding of acquisitions and redevelopment activities and the repayment of debt, including the Company’s unsecured revolving line of credit. The Company did not sell any shares under its ATM equity program during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 . As of March 31, 2018 , the Company had Class A common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000 remaining available for sale under its ATM equity program.

In December 2015, the Company’s board of directors authorized a common stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $250,000 of shares of its Class A common stock. In December 2017, The Company’s board of directors authorized a $250,000 increase to the common stock repurchase program. The shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and are canceled upon repurchase. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price in absolute terms and in relation to the value of the Company’s assets, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The common stock repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 . As of March 31, 2018 , $264,057 remained available for repurchases under the common stock repurchase program.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments:

The carrying value of the derivative asset is included in “Other assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents the Company’s financial instruments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these instruments are described after the table.



	Fair Value
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
March 31, 2018
Derivative asset	$	—	$	3,840	$	—	$	3,840

December 31, 2017
Derivative asset	$	—	$	1,086	$	—	$	1,086

Derivative asset: The fair value of the derivative asset is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected future cash flows of each derivative. This analysis uses observable market data including forward yield curves and implied volatilities to determine the market’s expectation of the future cash flows of the variable component. The fixed and variable components of the derivative are then discounted using calculated discount factors developed based on the LIBOR swap rate and are aggregated to arrive at a single valuation for the period. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered any applicable credit enhancements. The Company’s derivative instruments are further described in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition to our operating portfolio, as of March 31, 2018 , we owned (i) one property that was in active redevelopment, (ii) one property where we have begun activities in anticipation of future redevelopment and (iii) the redevelopment portion of Circle East, formerly known as Towson Circle, which has been combined with our neighboring retail operating property formerly known as Towson Square. This combination reduced our redevelopment property count by one.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we effectively completed our portfolio transformation, the core objective of which was to become a prominent owner of multi-tenant retail properties primarily located in the following markets: Dallas, Washington, D.C./Baltimore, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, Houston, San Antonio, Phoenix and Austin. Moving forward, we are focused on growing the portfolio organically through accretive leasing activity and increasing density at our mixed-use redevelopments.

(b)	Includes (i) leases signed on units that were vacant for over 12 months, (ii) leases signed without fixed rental payments and (iii) leases signed where the previous and the current lease do not have a consistent lease structure.

Our leasing efforts continue to focus on (i) vacant anchor and small shop space, (ii) upcoming natural lease expirations, (iii) space within our redevelopment projects and (iv) properties where we have begun expansion activities. As we lease vacant space, we look to capitalize on the opportunity to mark rents to market, upgrade our tenancy and optimize the mix of operators and unique retailers at our properties.

We continue to focus on leasing the vacant space at Schaumburg Towers and have leased 426,000 square feet of the available 895,000 square feet as of March 31, 2018 . The property is classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2018 and the sale is expected to close during the second quarter of 2018, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Capital Markets

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , we:


•	repaid $125,000, net of borrowings, on our unsecured revolving line of credit; and


•	repaid a $10,750 mortgage payable and made scheduled principal payments of $1,038 related to amortizing loans.

Distributions

We declared a quarterly distribution of $0.165625 per share of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2018 .

Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders increased $53,242 from $(11,462) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $41,780 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily as a result of the following:


•	a $66,767 decrease in interest expense primarily consisting of:


•	a $61,278 decrease in prepayment penalties and defeasance premiums and a $4,105 decrease in capitalized loan fee write-offs primarily related to the defeasance of the IW JV portfolio of mortgages payable during the three months ended March 31, 2017, which resulted in a defeasance premium and associated fees totaling $60,198 and the write-off of $4,003 of capitalized loan fees; and


•	a $1,426 decrease in interest on mortgages payable due to a reduction in mortgage debt;


•	an $8,246 decrease in depreciation and amortization primarily due to the investment properties sold during 2017; and


•	a $2,362 decrease in preferred stock dividends due to the redemption of our 7.00% Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock on December 20, 2017;

partially offset by


•	a $15,519 decrease in rental income primarily consisting of a $17,076 decrease in base rent, which resulted from the operating properties sold during 2017 and 2018 along with our redevelopments, partially offset by an increase from the operating properties acquired during 2017 and growth from our same store portfolio; and

•

a $6,645 decrease in gain on sales of investment properties related to the sales of seven investment properties, representing approximately 866,700 square feet of GLA, and the sale of air rights at Circle East during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the sales of six investment properties and a single-user parcel at an existing multi-tenant retail operating property, representing approximately 620,100 square feet of GLA, during the three months ended March 31, 2017 .

Net operating income (NOI)

We define NOI as all revenues other than (i) straight-line rental income (non-cash), (ii) amortization of lease inducements, (iii) amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and (iv) lease termination fee income, less real estate taxes and all operating expenses other than straight-line ground rent expense (non-cash) and amortization of acquired ground lease intangibles (non-cash). NOI consists of same store NOI (Same Store NOI) and NOI from other investment properties (NOI from Other Investment Properties). We believe that NOI, Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties, which are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, provide an additional and useful operating perspective not immediately apparent from “Operating income” or “Net income attributable to common shareholders” in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We use these measures to evaluate our performance on a property-by-property basis because they allow management to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant base have on our operating results. NOI, Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties do not represent alternatives to “Net income” or “Net income attributable to common shareholders” in accordance with GAAP as indicators of our financial performance. Comparison of our presentation of NOI, Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in definition and application by such REITs. For reference and as an aid in understanding our computation of NOI, a reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders as computed in accordance with GAAP to Same Store NOI has been presented for each comparable period presented.

Same store portfolio

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 , our same store portfolio consisted of 103 retail operating properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized prior to January 1, 2017. The number of properties in our same store portfolio increased to 103 as of March 31, 2018 from 102 as of December 31, 2017 as a result of the following:


•	the addition of seven same store investment properties acquired prior to January 1, 2017;

partially offset by


•	the removal of six same store investment properties sold during the three months ended March 31, 2018 .

The sale of Crown Theater on January 19, 2018 did not impact the number of same store properties as it was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2017.

The properties and financial results reported in “Other investment properties” primarily include the following:


•	properties acquired after December 31, 2016;


•	Schaumburg Towers, which is classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2018;


•	two properties where we have begun redevelopment and/or activities in anticipation of future redevelopment and the redevelopment portion of Circle East;


•	properties that were sold or held for sale in 2017 and 2018; and


•	the net income from our wholly-owned captive insurance company.

Same Store NOI	$	76,797	$	75,640	$	1,157

Same Store NOI increased $1,157 , or 1.5% , primarily due to the following:


•	base rent increased $877 primarily due to an increase of $619 from contractual rent changes and $454 from re-leasing spreads, partially offset by $131 from higher rent abatements; and


•	property operating expenses and real estate taxes, net of tenant recovery income, decreased $231 primarily due to decreases in certain non-recoverable property operating expenses, partially offset by higher net recoverable property operating expenses and real estate taxes along with lower net real estate tax refunds in 2018.

Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a financial measure known as funds from operations (FFO). As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate, plus depreciation and amortization and impairment charges on depreciable real estate. We have adopted the NAREIT definition in our computation of FFO attributable to common shareholders. Management believes that, subject to the following limitations, FFO attributable to common shareholders provides a basis for comparing our performance and operations to those of other REITs.

Table of Contents

We define Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders as FFO attributable to common shareholders excluding the impact of discrete non-operating transactions and other events which we do not consider representative of the comparable operating results of our real estate operating portfolio, which is our core business platform. Specific examples of discrete non-operating transactions and other events include, but are not limited to, the impact on earnings from gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt or other liabilities, gain on sale and impairment charges on assets other than depreciable real estate, litigation involving the Company, including actual or anticipated settlement and associated legal costs, the impact on earnings from executive separation and the excess of redemption value over carrying value of preferred stock redemption, which are not otherwise adjusted in our calculation of FFO attributable to common shareholders.

We believe that FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders, which are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, provide an additional and useful means to assess the operating performance of REITs. FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders do not represent alternatives to (i) “Net Income” or “Net income attributable to common shareholders” as indicators of our financial performance, or (ii) “Cash flows from operating activities” in accordance with GAAP as measures of our capacity to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. Comparison of our presentation of Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in definition and application by such REITs.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders:

We have made substantial progress over the last several years in strengthening our balance sheet, as demonstrated by our reduced leverage, improved financial flexibility and higher unencumbered asset ratio. We have funded debt maturities primarily through asset dispositions and capital markets transactions, including the public offering of our common stock and private and public offerings of senior unsecured notes. As of March 31, 2018 , we had $103,128 of debt scheduled to mature through the end of 2018 , comprised of $100,000 of our unsecured term loan due 2018 and $3,128 of principal amortization due through the end of 2018, which we plan on satisfying through a combination of proceeds from asset dispositions, capital markets transactions and our unsecured revolving line of credit. Subsequent to March 31, 2018, we repaid our $100,000 unsecured term loan due 2018 in conjunction with the execution of our fifth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement.

Notes Due 2026 and 2028

On September 30, 2016, we issued $100,000 of 4.08% senior unsecured notes due 2026 in a private placement transaction pursuant to a note purchase agreement we entered into with certain institutional investors on September 30, 2016.

Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, we are subject to various financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain the following: (i) maximum secured and total leverage ratios; (ii) a debt service coverage ratio; and (iii) maintenance of an unencumbered assets to unsecured debt ratio.

Unsecured Term Loans and Revolving Line of Credit

Unsecured Credit Facility

On January 6, 2016, we entered into our fourth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement (Unsecured Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of financial institutions led by KeyBank National Association serving as administrative agent and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serving as syndication agent to provide for an unsecured credit facility aggregating $1,200,000 (Unsecured Credit Facility). The Unsecured Credit Facility consists of a $750,000 unsecured revolving line of credit, a $250,000 unsecured term loan and a second unsecured term loan that had an outstanding balance of $200,000 at inception, of which we repaid $100,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017, and is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. We received investment grade credit ratings from Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s in 2014. In accordance with the Unsecured Credit Agreement, we may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of March 31, 2018 , making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, we have not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

Term Loan Due 2023

The Term Loan Due 2023 is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. In accordance with the term loan agreement (Term Loan Agreement), we may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

We plan on addressing our debt maturities through a combination of proceeds from asset dispositions, capital markets transactions and our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Distributions and Equity Transactions

Our distributions of current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes are taxable to shareholders, generally, as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits generally are treated as a non-taxable reduction of the shareholders’ basis in the shares to the extent thereof (non-dividend distributions) and thereafter as taxable gain. We intend to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) generally requires that a REIT annually distributes to its shareholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains. The Code imposes tax on any undistributed REIT taxable income.

To satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT and generally not be subject to U.S. federal income and excise tax, we intend to make regular quarterly distributions of all, or substantially all, of our taxable income to shareholders. Our future distributions will be at the discretion of our board of directors. When determining the amount of future distributions, we expect to consider, among other factors, (i) the amount of cash generated from our operating activities, (ii) our expectations of future cash flow, (iii) our determination of near-term cash needs for debt repayments and potential future share repurchases, (iv) the market of available acquisitions of new properties and redevelopment, expansions and pad development opportunities, (v) the timing of significant re-leasing activities and the establishment of additional cash reserves for anticipated tenant allowances and general property capital improvements, (vi) our ability to continue to access additional sources of capital, and (vii) the amount required to be distributed to maintain our status as a REIT, which is a requirement of our Unsecured Credit Agreement, and to avoid or minimize any income and excise taxes that we otherwise would be required to pay. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distribution in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements.

In December 2015, we entered into an at-the-market (ATM) equity program under which we may issue and sell shares of our Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000, from time to time. Actual sales may depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions and the trading price of our Class A common stock. Any net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the funding of acquisitions and redevelopment activities and the repayment of debt, including our unsecured revolving line of credit. We did not sell any shares under our ATM equity program during the three months ended March 31, 2018 . As of March 31, 2018 , we had Class A common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000 remaining available for sale under our ATM equity program.

In December 2015, our board of directors authorized a common stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $250,000 of shares of our Class A common stock. In December 2017, our board of directors authorized a $250,000 increase to our common stock repurchase program. The shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and are canceled upon repurchase. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price in absolute terms and in relation to the value of our assets, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The common stock repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. We did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2018 . As of March 31, 2018 , $264,057 remained available for repurchases under our common stock repurchase program.

Capital Expenditures and Redevelopment Activity

We anticipate that obligations related to capital improvements, including expansions and pad developments, at our operating properties in 2018 can be met with cash flows from operations, asset dispositions and working capital.

We began redevelopment activities at Reisterstown Road Plaza and Circle East in 2016. We have invested a total of approximately $11,900 in these projects, which is net of proceeds of $11,820 from the sale of air rights at Circle East. These projects are at various stages of completion, and based on our current plans and estimates, we anticipate that it will require an additional $30,600 to $33,600 to complete these projects. In addition, we plan to begin the first phase of the redevelopment at Boulevard at the Capital Centre in 2018. We anticipate funding the redevelopments with cash flows from operations, asset dispositions, working capital, capital markets transactions and our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities consist primarily of net income from property operations, adjusted for the following, among others: (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) provision for impairment of investment properties and (iii) gain on sales of investment properties. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased $27,014 primarily due to the following:


•	a $17,601 decrease in NOI, consisting of a decrease in NOI from properties that were sold or held for sale in 2017 and 2018 and other properties not included in our same store portfolio of $18,758, partially offset by an increase in Same Store NOI of $1,157; and


•	ordinary course fluctuations in working capital accounts;

partially offset by


•	an $1,873 decrease in cash bonuses paid; and


•	a $922 decrease in cash paid for interest, excluding debt prepayment fees.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , we distributed $36,311 to common shareholders, which is $2,146 in excess of net cash provided by operating activities during the period. This is primarily driven by the timing of ordinary course annual real estate tax payments. We used existing cash and cash equivalents in addition to net cash flows provided by operating activities to fund such distributions. Management believes that cash flows from operations and existing cash and cash equivalents will provide sufficient liquidity to sustain future operations.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of proceeds from the sales of investment properties, net of cash paid to purchase investment properties and fund capital expenditures, tenant improvements and developments in progress. Net cash flows from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased $100,941 primarily due to the following:


•	a $93,752 decrease in cash paid to purchase investment properties;


•	a $7,687 increase in proceeds from the sales of investment properties; and


•	a $740 decrease in capital expenditures and tenant improvements;

partially offset by


•	a $1,238 increase in investment in developments in progress.

In 2018, we expect to generate cash flows from investing activities from targeted dispositions, which are expected to be used to (i) fund redevelopment, expansion and pad development activities, capital expenditures and tenant improvements, (ii) repay debt and (iii) complete targeted acquisitions.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities primarily consist of repayments of our unsecured revolving line of credit, distribution payments, principal payments on mortgages payable, debt prepayment costs and the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities in connection with the defeasance of mortgages payable, partially offset by proceeds from our unsecured revolving line of credit and the issuance of debt instruments. Net cash flows used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased $147,241 primarily due to the following:


•	a $402,000 decrease in net proceeds from our unsecured revolving line of credit; and


•	a $200,000 decrease in proceeds from the issuance of unsecured term loans related to the funding of the Term Loan Due 2023 in January 2017;

partially offset by

•	the $439,403 purchase of U.S. Treasury securities in connection with defeasance of the IW JV portfolio of mortgages payable during the three months ended March 31, 2017 ;


•	an $8,800 decrease in principal payments on mortgages payable;


•	a $5,273 decrease in distributions paid as a result of a decrease in common shares outstanding due to the repurchase of common shares through our share repurchase program during 2017 and the redemption of our 7.00% Series A cumulative preferred stock in December 2017; and


•	a $1,310 decrease in debt prepayment fees.

We plan to continue to address our debt maturities through a combination of proceeds from asset dispositions, capital markets transactions and our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , except as otherwise disclosed herein, there were no material changes outside the normal course of business to the contractual obligations identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 .

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a description of our critical accounting policies, including those relating to the acquisition of investment properties, impairment of long-lived assets, cost capitalization, depreciation and amortization, development and redevelopment, investment properties held for sale, partially-owned entities, revenue recognition, accounts and notes receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts and income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 , there were no significant changes to these policies except for the policies related to the derecognition of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets, including real estate, and the recognition of the related gain on sale of investment properties as a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and ASU 2017-05, Other Income–Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets , as of January 1, 2018 as described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 4 – Dispositions in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to March 31, 2018 , we:

•

entered into our fifth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions to provide for an unsecured credit facility aggregating $1,100,000. In conjunction with the execution of the amended and restated credit agreement, we repaid the unsecured term loan due 2018 under the Unsecured Credit Facility that had an outstanding balance of $100,000 as of March 31, 2018. See Note 8 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further details;


•	closed on the disposition of CVS Pharmacy – Lawton, OK, a 10,900 square foot single-user retail operating property located in Lawton, Oklahoma, for a sales price of $1,600 with no anticipated gain on sale or additional impairment due to previously recognized impairment charges; and


•	declared the cash dividend for the second quarter of 2018 of $0.165625 per share on our outstanding Class A common stock, which will be paid on July 10, 2018 to Class A common shareholders of record at the close of business on June 26, 2018.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our long-term debt that is used to maintain liquidity and fund our operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed rates, and in some cases variable rates with the ability to convert to fixed rates.

With regard to variable rate financing, we assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. The risk management control systems involve the use of analytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analysis, to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on our future cash flows.

As of March 31, 2018 , we had $450,000 of variable rate debt based on LIBOR that has been swapped to fixed rate debt through interest rate swaps. Our interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2018 are summarized in the following table:



	Notional Amount		Maturity Date	Fair Value of Derivative Asset
Fixed rate portion of Unsecured Credit Facility	$	250,000	January 5, 2021	$	2,838
Term Loan Due 2023	200,000		November 22, 2018	1,002
	$	450,000		$	3,840

For a discussion concerning the scheduled debt maturities and principal amortization of our indebtedness as of March 31, 2018 for the remainder of 2018 , each of the next four years and thereafter and the weighted average interest rates by year to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes, refer to Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Debt Maturities.”

A decrease of 1% in market interest rates would result in a hypothetical decrease in our derivative asset of approximately $7,700.

The combined carrying amount of our mortgages payable, unsecured notes payable, Term Loan Due 2023 and Unsecured Credit Facility is approximately $4,801 lower than the fair value as of March 31, 2018 .

We had $191,000 of variable rate debt, excluding $450,000 of variable rate debt that has been swapped to fixed rate debt, with interest rates varying based upon LIBOR, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.23% as of March 31, 2018 . An increase in the variable interest rate on this debt constitutes a market risk. If interest rates increase by 1% based on debt outstanding as of March 31, 2018 , interest expense would increase by approximately $1,910 on an annualized basis.

We may use additional derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates. To the extent we do, we are exposed to market and credit risk. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, we generally are not exposed to the credit risk of the counterparty. We minimize credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with highly rated counterparties or with the same party providing the financing, with the right of offset.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to the members of senior management and the board of directors.

Based on management’s evaluation as of March 31, 2018 , our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except to the extent updated below or to the extent additional factual information disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates to such factors (including, without limitation, the matters discussed in Part I, “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”), there have been no material changes to our risk factors during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to those risk factors presented in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 .

Exhibit 10.1

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

This Separation Agreement and General Release (“ Agreement ”) is being entered into by Retail Properties of America, Inc. (“ Employer ” or “ Company ”) and Paula C. Maggio (“ Employee ”) (together, the “ Parties ”).

1. SEPARATION

Employee and Employer are parties to a Retention Agreement, dated effective as of October 31, 2016 (the “ Retention Agreement ”). Employee’s last day of employment with Employer is March 9, 2018 (“ Separation Date ”).

2. VALUABLE CONSIDERATION

2.1 Severance Package . Employer agrees to provide Employee with the following payments and benefits (“ Severance Package ”). Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Severance Package constitutes adequate legal consideration for the promises and representations made by her in the Agreement. Receipt of the Severance Package is contingent upon the following conditions: (i) Employee must continue to abide by the covenants regarding confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-disparagement described in Section 11 of the Retention Agreement, and (ii) application of the Recoupment Policy described in Section 6 of the Retention Agreement, the Golden Parachute Payments provision described in Section 7 of the Retention Agreement, and the provisions regarding compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code described in Section 13 of the Retention Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, Employer will pay the Severance Payment on the sixtieth (60th) day after the Separation Date.

2.1.1. Severance Payment . Employer agrees to pay Employee a total of $1,334,048, computed in accordance with Section 3(a) of the Retention Agreement, less all appropriate federal and state income and employment taxes (“ Severance Payment ”).

2.1.2. Acceleration of Vesting . The vesting of all unvested equity awards granted to Employee that are listed on Exhibit A hereto shall become vested in accordance with Section 3(c) of the Retention Agreement.

2.1.3. Continued Healthcare . Employer will pay the amounts described in Section 3(d) of the Retention Agreement on the terms set forth therein.

2.2 Employee acknowledges that the benefits described above are over and above anything owed to her by law, contract or under the policies of Employer, and that they are being provided to her expressly in exchange for her entering into this Agreement.

3. GENERAL RELEASE AND WAIVER

3.1 In consideration of Employer’s promises made within this Agreement, Employee unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely waives, releases and discharges Employer, and any parent and subsidiary corporations, divisions and affiliated corporations, partnerships or other affiliated entities of Employer, past and present, as well as the past and present employees, officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns of Employer (collectively, “ Released Parties ”), from all claims related in any way to the transactions or occurrences between them to date, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including, but not limited to, Employee’s employment with Employer, the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer, and all other losses, liabilities, claims, charges, demands and causes of action, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising directly or indirectly out of or in any way connected with Employee’s employment with Employer. This release is intended to have the broadest possible application and includes, but is not limited to, any tort, contract, common law, constitutional or other statutory claims, including, but not limited to claims involving intellectual property or innovations that Employee may have worked on or come up with during the period in which she was being compensated by any of the Released Parties, alleged violations of the Illinois Human Rights Act, the Illinois Minimum Wage Law, the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act, the Illinois One Day Rest in Seven Act, the Illinois Victims' Economic Security and Safety Act, the Illinois Personnel Record Review Act, the Illinois Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Illinois Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act, the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act and any other statute set forth in Chapter 820 or any other chapter of the Illinois Compiled Statutes that pertains or relates to, or otherwise touches upon, the employment relationship between Employer and Employee, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and all claims for attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses. Employee expressly waives Employee’s right to recovery of any type, including damages, in any administrative or court action, whether state or federal, and whether brought by Employee or on Employee’s behalf, related in any way to the matters released herein. However, this general release is not intended to bar any claims that, by statute, may not be waived, such as claims for any challenge to the validity of Employee’s release of claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as set forth in this Agreement. Further, nothing in this Section 3.1 shall release any of the Released Parties’ obligations, covenants, and agreements under this Agreement or Employee’s rights under applicable law, the Company’s Bylaws, any Company officer indemnity agreement to which Employee is a party or the Company’s director and officer liability policy to seek indemnity for acts committed, or omissions, within the course and scope of Employee’s employment duties.

3.2 Employee acknowledges that Employee may discover facts or law different from, or in addition to, the facts or law that Employee knows or believes to be true with respect to the claims released in this Agreement and agrees, nonetheless, that this Agreement and the release contained in it shall be and remain effective in all respects notwithstanding such different or additional facts or the discovery of them.

3.3 Employee declares and represents that Employee intends this Agreement to be complete and not subject to any claim of mistake, and that the release herein expresses a full and complete release and Employee intends the release herein to be final and complete.

3.4 Employee represents that, as of the date of this Agreement, she has not filed any lawsuits, charges, complaints, petitions, claims or other accusatory pleadings against Employer or any of the other Released Parties in any court or with any governmental agency.

3.5 Employee acknowledges and agrees that the general release and waiver clause in this Agreement is an essential and material term of the Agreement, and that without such clause, no agreement would have been reached by the Parties.

4. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BY EMPLOYEE

4.1 Employee acknowledges that she is subject to, and will continue to abide by, all surviving provisions of the Retention Agreement, including, without limitation, the covenants regarding confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-disparagement set forth in Section 11 of the Retention Agreement (the “ Covenants ”), all of which are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth herein in their entirety. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to modify, supersede or replace any provision, right or obligation of Employee under the Covenants.

4.2 Employee acknowledges that she has been paid all wages, commissions, incentive payments, and bonuses owed to her by Employer, to date, other than accrued salary since the most recent payroll period for which Employee has been paid and all unused vacation pay due to her based on her employment to the Separation Date, to extent that any such amount remains unpaid as of the Effective Date.

5. NON-DISPARAGEMENT. Employee confirms and agrees that she will not make any oral or written statements to any third party about any of the Released Parties that are either intended or reasonably likely either to disparage any of the Released Parties. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the non-disparagement clause in this Agreement is an essential and material term of the Agreement, and that without such clause, no agreement would have been reached by the Parties. Additionally, if Employee is compelled by the legal process to provide statements, information, or testimony regarding her employment with any of the Released Parties, she will do so in a truthful manner, and doing so is not a breach of the terms of this Agreement.

6. OLDER WORKERS’ BENEFIT PROTECTION ACT. This Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. sec. 626(f). Employee is advised to consult with an attorney before executing this Agreement.

6.1 Acknowledgements/Time to Consider . Employee acknowledges and agrees that (a) Employee has read and understands the terms of this Agreement; (b) Employee has been advised in writing to consult with an attorney before executing this Agreement; (c) Employee has obtained and considered such legal counsel as Employee deems necessary; (d) Employee has been given twenty-one (21) days to consider whether or not to enter into this Agreement (although Employee may elect not to use the full 21-day period at Employee’s option); and (e) by signing this Agreement, Employee acknowledges that Employee does so freely, knowingly, and voluntarily.

6.2 Revocation/Effective Date . This Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until the eighth day after Employee signs this Agreement. In other words, Employee may revoke Employee’s acceptance of this Agreement within seven (7) days after the date Employee signs it. Employee’s revocation must be in writing and received by Steven P. Grimes, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, 2021 Spring Road, Suite 200, Oak Brook, IL 60523 by 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the seventh day in order to be effective. If Employee does not revoke acceptance within the seven (7) day period, Employee’s acceptance of this Agreement shall become binding and enforceable on the eighth day (“ Effective Date ”). The Severance Package shall become due and payable in accordance with Section 2 above after the Effective Date.

6.3 Preserved Rights of Employee . This Agreement does not waive or release any rights or claims that Employee may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act that arise after the execution of this Agreement. In addition, this Agreement does not prohibit Employee from challenging the validity of this Agreement’s waiver and release of claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY/RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY

7.1 Employee represents and warrants that as of the Separation Date, she will have returned all property belonging to Employer. Such property includes, but is not limited to, keys, passwords, access cards, credit or phone cards, any computer hardware or software, any products relating to Employer or its competition, any design work, product engineering, test results, customer information, pricing and cost information, financial data or information, any vendor samples or information, management materials, including all correspondence, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, data report programs, plan proposals, and other confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret information, regardless of whether the information is in written, printed, electronic, or other form and regardless of whether it was written or compiled by Employee or other persons, as well as any and all other property that comprises property owned by Employer. Employee agrees that she will not retain any originals or copies of any Employer property, whether prepared or created by Employee or otherwise coming into Employee’s possession or control in the course of her employment with Employer. Employee agrees to keep the terms of the Agreement confidential between her and Employer, except that she may tell her immediate family and attorney or accountant, if any, as needed, but in no event should she discuss the Agreement or its terms with any current or prospective employee of Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee understands that pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to

an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or applied to prohibit Employee from making any good faith report to any governmental agency or other governmental entity concerning any acts or omissions that Employee may believe to constitute a possible violation of federal or state law or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of applicable federal or state law or regulation. Further, this Agreement does not limit Employee’s ability to communicate with any government agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to Employer. If Employee files any charge or complaint with a government agency and if the government agency pursues any claim on Employee’s behalf, or if any third party pursues any claim on Employee’s behalf, Employee waives any right to monetary or other individualized relief (either individually or as part of any collective or class action); provided that nothing in this Agreement limits any right Employee may have to receive a whistleblower award or bounty for information provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Mandatory partial principal payments shall be due from time to time if, (i) due to an increase in the aggregate amount of Unsecured Indebtedness of the Consolidated Group or any reduction in the Unencumbered Pool Value or in the Adjusted Unencumbered Pool NOI, whether by an Unencumbered Pool Property failing to continue to satisfy the requirement for qualification as a Qualifying Unencumbered Pool Property or by a reduction in the Unencumbered Pool Value or the Adjusted Unencumbered Pool NOI attributable to any Unencumbered Pool Property, the Unsecured Indebtedness of the Consolidated Group (excluding from such Unsecured Indebtedness any Guarantee Obligations) shall be in excess of the maximum amount permitted to be outstanding under clause (iii) of Section 6.21 or (ii) without limiting the effect of any other provision of this Agreement requiring such a principal payment, any of the categories of the Obligations described in clauses (i) - (ii) of Section 2.1(a) shall be in excess of the maximum amount set forth in the applicable clause. Such principal payments shall be in the amount needed to restore Borrower to compliance with such covenants or such maximum amount. Such mandatory principal payments shall be due and payable (i) in the case of any such reduction arising from results reported in a quarterly financial statement of Borrower and related Compliance Certificate, ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such quarterly financial statement and Compliance Certificate under Section 6.1 evidencing such reduction or (ii) in all other cases, ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent of the existence of any condition requiring any such mandatory principal payment (which written notice shall include reasonably detailed evidence in support of such determination).

2.9. Method of Selecting Classes and Types and Interest Periods for New Advances . The Borrower shall select the Class and Type of Advance and, in the case of each LIBOR Rate Advance, the LIBOR Interest Period applicable to each Advance from time to time in accordance with this Section or Section 2.10, as applicable. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “ Borrowing Notice ”) in the form attached as Exhibit F and made a part hereof (i) not later than 1:00 p.m. Cleveland, Ohio time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance, (ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio time, at least three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Rate Advance and (iii) not later than 10:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio time on the same day as the Borrowing Date for each Swingline Advance, which shall specify:

(i) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance,

(iii) the Class and Type of Advance selected,

(iv) if such Advance is a Swingline Advance, and Borrower desires to have the One Day LIBOR Rate apply for the duration of such Swingline Advance, a request to that effect; and

(v) in the case of each LIBOR Rate Advance, the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto.

-27-

Each Lender required to make a Loan in connection with a requested Advance shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available in Cleveland, Ohio to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII on each Borrowing Date not later than noon (Cleveland, Ohio time). The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

No LIBOR Interest Period may end after the applicable Facility Termination Date for such Class of Advances and, unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree in writing, in no event may there be more than seven (7) different LIBOR Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Advances outstanding at any one time.

2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances . Floating Rate Advances of a Class shall continue as Floating Rate Advances of such Class unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into LIBOR Rate Advances of the same Class. Each LIBOR Rate Advance of a Class shall continue as a LIBOR Rate Advance of such Class until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefore, at which time such LIBOR Rate Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance of the same Class unless the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a “Conversion/Continuation Notice” requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such LIBOR Rate Advance either continue as a LIBOR Rate Advance of the same Class for the same or another Interest Period or be converted to an Advance of another Type but of the same Class. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7 , the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Floating Rate Advance of a Class into a LIBOR Rate Advance of the same Class and vice versa; provided that any conversion of any LIBOR Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “ Conversion/Continuation Notice ”) of each conversion of an Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time), at least three Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance, prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

(i) the requested date which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation;

(ii) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued;

(iii) the Class of Advance which is to be converted or continued; and

(iv) the amount and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.11. Changes in Interest Rate, Etc . Each Floating Rate Advance of a Class shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a LIBOR Rate Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a LIBOR Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate applicable to such Class of Advance in effect from time to time. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Class of LIBOR Rate Advance.

-28-

2.12. Rates Applicable After Default . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9 or 2.10 , during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring consent of affected Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Advance. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring consent of affected Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the LIBOR Rate otherwise applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance for such Interest Period plus 4% per annum and (ii) each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate otherwise applicable to the Floating Rate Advance plus 4% per annum; provided, however, that the Default Rate shall become applicable automatically if a Default occurs under Section 7.1 or 7.2 , unless waived by the Required Lenders.

2.13. Method of Payment .

(i) All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available Dollars to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII , or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by noon (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the date when due and shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement.

(ii) As provided elsewhere herein, all Revolving Lenders’ interests in the Revolving Advances, all interests of the Term Lenders of a Class in the Term Advances of such Class, and all Lenders’ interests in the Loan Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of such Lenders’ interests shall have priority over the others. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to be applied or paid by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be paid promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland, Ohio time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at such Lender’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders but not timely funded to the Lenders shall bear interest payable by the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date due until the date paid. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with KeyBank for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

2.14. Notes; Telephonic Notices . Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans of each Class and each repayment on the schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under such Note. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Authorized Officer. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the

-29-

action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent will at the request of the Borrower, from time to time, but not more often than monthly, provide Borrower with the amount of the outstanding Aggregate Commitment and the applicable interest rate for a LIBOR Rate Advance. Upon a Lender’s furnishing to Borrower an affidavit to such effect, if a Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, Borrower shall deliver to such Lender, in substitution therefore, a new note containing the same terms and conditions as such Note being replaced.

2.15. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis . Interest accrued on each Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, with respect to interest on the Term Advances of a Class at the repayment in full of the Term Advances of such Class, and, with respect to interest accrued on the Revolving Advances, upon any termination of the Revolving Commitments in their entirety. Interest, Facility Fees, Facility Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (Cleveland, Ohio time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.16. Swingline Advances . In addition to the other options available to the Borrower hereunder, the Swingline Commitment shall be available for Swingline Loans subject to the following terms and conditions. Swingline Loans shall be made available for same day borrowings provided that notice is given in accordance with Section 2.9 hereof. All Swingline Loans shall bear interest at either the Floating Rate or, if Borrower has given written notice to the Administrative Agent as described in Section 2.9 when requesting such Swingline Loan, at the One Day LIBOR Rate, as it may be adjusted over the duration of such Swingline Loan. No Swingline Loan may be made to repay a Swingline Loan but Borrower may repay Swingline Loans with subsequent Revolving Advances hereunder. On the fifth (5th) Business Day after a Swingline Loan is made, if such Swingline Loan has not been repaid by the Borrower, each Revolving Lender irrevocably agrees to purchase its Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan regardless of whether the conditions for disbursement are satisfied at the time of such purchase, including the existence of an Unmatured Default or Default hereunder; provided, that Swingline Lender did not have actual knowledge of such Unmatured Default or Default at the time such Swingline Loan was made; provided, further, that no Revolving Lender shall be required to have total outstanding Revolving Loans plus its Revolving Percentage of Facility Letters of Credit exceed its Revolving Commitment. Such purchase shall take place on the date of the request by Swingline Lender so long as such request is made by noon (Cleveland, Ohio time), and otherwise on the Business Day following such request. All requests for purchase shall be in writing. From and after the date it is so purchased, each such Swingline Loan shall, to the extent purchased, (i) be treated as a Revolving Loan made by the purchasing Revolving Lenders for all purposes under this Agreement and the payment of the purchase price by a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be the making of a Revolving Loan by such Lender and shall constitute outstanding principal under such Lender’s Note, and (ii) shall no longer be considered a Swingline Loan except that all interest accruing on or attributable to such Swingline Loan for the period prior to the date of such purchase shall be paid when due by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Swingline Lender and all such amounts accruing on or attributable to such Revolving Loans for the period from and after the date of such purchase shall be paid when due by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the purchasing Revolving Lenders. If prior to purchasing its Revolving Percentage of a Swingline Loan one of the events described in Section 7.7 shall have occurred and such event prevents the consummation of the purchase contemplated by preceding provisions, each Revolving Lender will purchase an undivided participating interest in the outstanding

-30-

Swingline Loan in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan. From and after the date of each Revolving Lender’s purchase of its participating interest in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment was received by the Swingline Lender and is required to be returned to the Borrower, each Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swingline Lender to it. If any Revolving Lender fails to so purchase its Revolving Percentage or participating interest of any Swingline Advance, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender hereunder.

2.17. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments . The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the applicable Class of the contents of each Borrowing Notice regarding Loans of such Class, Conversion/Continuation Notice regarding Loans of such Class, and repayment notice with respect to Loans of such Class received by it hereunder not later than the close of business on the Business Day such notice is received by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of a Class of the interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Rate Advance of such Class promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.18. Lending Installations . Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.19. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent . Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the time at which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been, or will be, made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Class and Type of Loan. If such Lender so repays such amount and interest thereon to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after such demand, all interest accruing on the Loan not funded by such Lender during such period shall be payable to such Lender when received from the Borrower.

2.20. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances . The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) has demanded compensation from Borrower under Section 3.1 or 3.2 , or (b) is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 3.5 , or (c) cannot maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation

-31-

pursuant to Section 3.3 or (d) either voted against or failed to respond to any written request made by the Administrative Agent seeking approval of any amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, if at least the Required Lenders voted in favor of such proposed amendment or waiver or (e) is a Defaulting Lender; with a replacement bank or other financial institution, provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements affecting the Lenders, (ii) no Default or (after notice thereof to Borrower) no Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Sections 3.4 and 3.6 if any LIBOR Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender or not an Eligible Assignee, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.5 and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

2.21. Usury . This Agreement, each Note and each other Loan Document are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of any Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under any Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the applicable Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to such Loan for so long as such Loan is outstanding.

2.22. Termination or Increase in Commitments; Additional Term Loans .

(a) Termination . Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, to terminate or cancel, in whole or in part, the unused portion of the Revolving Commitments in excess of the Outstanding Revolving Amount, provided that each partial reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof. Any partial termination of the Revolving Commitments shall be applied to reduce the Revolving Commitments on a pro rata basis. Once terminated or reduced, the Revolving Commitments may not be reinstated or increased thereafter.

(b) Increase in Commitments . Borrower shall have the right exercisable 5 times, upon at least 10 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, to request (i) increases in the Revolving Commitments or (ii) the making of additional Term Loans (the “ Additional Term Loans ”) by up to $500,000,000 to a maximum aggregate amount not to exceed $1,600,000,000 (reduced to the extent Borrower has terminated or reduced the Revolving Commitments) by either adding new lenders as Lenders (subject to the Administrative Agent’s prior written approval of the

-32-

identity of any such new lender if it is not an Eligible Assignee) or obtaining the agreement, which shall be at such Lender’s or Lenders’ sole discretion, of one or more of the then current Lenders to increase its or their Revolving Commitments or to make Additional Term Loans. Each such increase in the Commitments or the making of Additional Term Loans must be an aggregate minimum amount of $50,000,000 and integral multiples of $10,000,000 in excess thereof. Such increases may be increases in Revolving Commitments or the making of Additional Term Loans or a combination thereof. Effecting any increase of the Revolving Commitments or the making of Additional Term Loans under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (x) no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred, is then continuing or shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase of Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans, (y) the representations and warranties (subject in all cases to all materiality qualifiers and other exceptions in such representations and warranties) contained in Article V shall be true and correct as of the effective date of such increase, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received an Amendment Regarding Increase by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the new lender or existing Lender providing such increase of Revolving Commitments or Additional Term Loans, a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by the Administrative Agent promptly after execution thereof and all documentation and opinions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In no event will any existing Lender be obligated to provide any portion of any such increase of Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans unless such Lender shall specifically agree in writing to provide such increase of Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans at such time. On the effective date of any such increase of Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans, Borrower shall pay to the institutions arranging such increases such fees as may be agreed to by such institutions and the Borrower and to each new lender or then-current Lender providing such increase of Revolving Commitments or making Additional Term Loans the up-front fee agreed to between Borrower and such party. In addition, the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, shall execute a consent to such increase of Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans ratifying and continuing their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty. If a Person becomes a new Lender having a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement, or if any existing Revolving Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Revolving Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Revolving Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Revolving Lenders its Revolving Percentage (determined with respect to the Revolving Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Revolving Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Revolving Lenders under Section 2A.6(b) that have not been repaid, plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans. The Lenders agree to cooperate in any required sale and purchase of outstanding Revolving Advances to achieve such result. In no event shall the aggregate Commitments and Term Loans exceed $1,600,000,000 without the approval of all Lenders which are not then Defaulting Lenders.

2.23. Pro Rata Treatment . Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Revolving Lenders under Sections 2.1(a) and 2A.6(b) shall be made from the Revolving Lenders,

-33-

each payment of the fees under Sections 2.1(c)(iv) , 2.4 and 2.5 and the first sentence of Section 2A.8(a) shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.22(a) shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them, provided that, subject to Section 10.14 , if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments in effect at the time such Revolving Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Commitments; (c) [reserved]; (d) each payment or prepayment of principal of Term Loans of a Class shall be made for the account of the Term Lenders of such Class pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Term Loans of such Class held by them; (e) each payment of interest on Loans of a Class shall be made for the account of the Lenders of such Class pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders of such Class; (f) the Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular Class and Type shall be made pro rata among the Lenders of such Class according to the amounts of their respective Loans of such Class, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (g) the Revolving Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline Loans under Section 2.16 , shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages and (h) the Revolving Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Facility Letters of Credit under Section 2A.6 , shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages.

ARTICLE IIA

prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date, provided that, if Borrower then has an unexpired option to extend the Revolving Facility Termination Date under Section 2.1 , Borrower may request an expiration date during such extension so long as Borrower specifically acknowledges that it shall deposit the full undrawn amount of any such Facility Letter of Credit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account on or before the then-current Revolving Facility Termination Date, if any such extension is not exercised or is not exercisable.

2A.3 Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Article IV hereof and in the balance of this Article IIA , the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue any Facility Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

(i) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Issuing Bank at such times and in such manner as the Issuing Bank may reasonably prescribe such documents and materials as may be reasonably required pursuant to the terms of the proposed Facility Letter of Credit (it being understood that if any inconsistency exists between such documents and the Loan Documents, the terms of the Loan Documents shall control) and the proposed Facility Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank as to form and content;

(iii) there shall not exist any Default or Unmatured Default.

2A.4 Procedure for Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit.

(d) The Issuing Bank shall not extend or amend any Facility Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 2A.4 are met as though a new Facility Letter of Credit was being requested and issued.

2A.5 Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuing Bank.

(a) The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify Lenders) of any draw under a Facility Letter of Credit. Any such draw shall not be deemed to be a default hereunder but shall constitute a Revolving Advance in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit and shall bear interest from the date of the relevant drawing(s) under the pertinent Facility Letter of Credit at the Floating Rate for Revolving Loans; provided that if a Default exists at the time of any such drawing(s), then the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings under a Facility Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank no later than the next succeeding Business Day after the payment by the Issuing Bank and until repaid such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(b) Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall not put the Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any Lender or, provided that such Issuing Bank has complied with the procedures specified in Section 2A.4, relieve any Revolving Lender of its obligations hereunder to the Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Facility Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered in compliance, and that they appear to comply on their face, with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

-36-

2A.6 Participation.

(a) Immediately upon the issuance on or after the Agreement Effective Date by the Issuing Bank of any Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article IIA , each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse, representation or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage in such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto) and all related rights hereunder. Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make further Revolving Loans to Borrower (other than any payments such Lender is required to make under subparagraph (b) below) or to purchase an interest from the Issuing Bank in any subsequent Facility Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank on behalf of Borrower shall be reduced by such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the undrawn portion of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding.

(b) In the event that the Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2A.7 hereof, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Revolving Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of such payment, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amount to the Issuing Bank. A Revolving Lender’s payment of its Revolving Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation as aforesaid shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan by such Lender and shall constitute outstanding principal under such Lender’s Note. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Revolving Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Revolving Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made. Any Revolving Lender which fails to make any payment required pursuant to this Section 2A.6(b) shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(c) Whenever the Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland, Ohio time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) pay to each Revolving Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof.

(d) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Administrative Agent or Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit to which the Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent or Lender.

(e) The obligations of a Revolving Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, set off, qualification or exception whatsoever other than a failure of any such Issuing Bank to comply with the terms of this Agreement relating to the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit, and such payments shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.

-37-

2A.7 Payment of Reimbursement Obligations.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of all Advances for Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit when due, irrespective of any claim, set off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Bank or any other Person, under all circumstances, including without limitation any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Facility Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Facility Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any Facility Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Facility Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect of any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default.

(b) In the event any payment by the Borrower received by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit and distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders on account of their participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank in connection with any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or bankruptcy proceeding, each Revolving Lender which received such distribution shall, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, contribute such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent.

2A.8 Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Revolving Lenders (including the Issuing Bank), based upon such Lenders’ respective Revolving Percentages, a per annum fee (the “ Facility Letter of Credit Fee ”) as a percentage of the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Advances in effect from time to time hereunder while such Facility Letter of Credit is outstanding. The Facility Letter of Credit Fee relating to any Facility Letter of Credit shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter following the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit and, to the extent any such fees are then due and unpaid, on the Revolving Facility Termination Date or any other earlier date that the Obligations are due and payable in full. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland, Ohio time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when paid,

-38-

to the other Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Percentages thereof. The Borrower shall not have any liability to any Revolving Lender for the failure of the Administrative Agent to promptly deliver such funds to any such Lender and shall be deemed to have made all such payments on the date the respective payment is made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, provided such payment is received by the time specified in Section 2.13 hereof.

(b) The Issuing Bank also shall have the right to receive solely for its own account an issuance fee equal to the greater of (A) $1,500 or (B) one eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum to be calculated on the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit for the stated duration thereof, based on the actual number of days and using a 360-day year basis. The issuance fee shall be payable by the Borrower on the Issuance Date for each such Facility Letter of Credit and on the date of any increase therein or extension thereof. The Issuing Bank shall also be entitled to receive its reasonable out of pocket costs and the Issuing Bank’s standard charges of issuing, amending and servicing Facility Letters of Credit and processing draws thereunder.

2A.9 Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date if a Facility Letter of Credit is outstanding and unexpired on such date as provided in Section 2A.2(iii) above, establish a special collateral account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) at the Administrative Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Article XIII , in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, and in which the Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall hold the deposits the Borrower is required to make upon the Revolving Facility Termination Date related to any outstanding and unexpired Facility Letter of Credit or after a Default on account of any outstanding Facility Letters of Credit as described in Section 8.1. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Revolving Lenders, a security interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and any funds that may hereafter be on deposit in such account, including income earned thereon. The Revolving Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Borrower has no obligation to fund the Letter of Credit Collateral Account unless and until so required under Section 2A.2(iii) or Section 8.1 hereof. The Administrative Agent shall have the authority to establish, for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, the Letter of Credit Collateral Account upon the occurrence of a Default under Section 7.6 or 7.7 ; provided that, the Administrative Agent shall not establish the Letter of Credit Collateral Account prior to the occurrence of a Default under Section 7.6 or 7.7 .

ARTICLE III.
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

3.1. Yield Protection . If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency or any other Change:

(i) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its LIBOR Rate Loans, or

-39-

(ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Advances), or

(iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its LIBOR Rate Loans, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its LIBOR Rate Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of LIBOR Rate Loans, by an amount deemed material by such Lender as the case may be,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its LIBOR Rate Loans or Revolving Commitment, if any, or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such LIBOR Rate Loans or Revolving Commitment, then, within 15 days of a demand by such Lender accompanied by reasonable evidence of the occurrence of the applicable event under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

3.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations . If a Lender in good faith determines the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender in good faith determines is attributable to this Agreement, its outstanding credit exposure hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (i) any change after the Agreement Effective Date in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the Agreement Effective Date which affects the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any lending office of such Lender or any corporation controlling any Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a “Change”, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the Agreement Effective Date, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, including transition rules, and any amendments to such guidelines, rules and regulations adopted prior to the Agreement Effective Date.

-40-

3.3. Availability of Types of Advances; Inability to Determine Rates .

(a) Availability of Types of Advances . If any Lender in good faith determines that maintenance of any of its LIBOR Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of LIBOR Rate Advances and require any LIBOR Rate Advances to be repaid, then, if for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 3.1 are inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of any LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination. If the Borrower is required to so repay a LIBOR Rate Advance, (a) with respect to Revolving Advances, the Borrower may concurrently with such repayment borrow from the Revolving Lenders, in the amount of such repayment, a Revolving Advance bearing interest at the Floating Rate and (b) with respect to Term Advances, such LIBOR Rate Advances shall be converted to Floating Rate Advances.

(b) Inability to Determine Rates . Unless and until a Replacement Rate is implemented in accordance with Section 3.3(c) below, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines, or the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders, that for any reason in connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise that (i) dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR Base Rate for any requested LIBOR Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or (iii) LIBOR Base Rate for any requested LIBOR Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding such Loan, and, in any such event, Administrative Agent shall have also made such determination with respect to similarly situated loans in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans and Floating Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to LIBOR Market Index Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice, such revocation not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for the borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for the borrowing of Loans that are Floating Rate Loans (with the Floating Rate determined other than by reference to LIBOR Market Index Rate) in the amount specified therein.

(c) Alternative Rate of Interest . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.3(b) above, if the Administrative Agent has made the reasonable determination (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances described in Section 3.3(b)(i) or (b)(ii) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement, to the extent practicable (with the consent of the Borrower and as determined by the Administrative Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest rate (the “ Replacement Rate ”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to

-41-

the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Loan Documents unless and until (A) an event described in Section 3.3(b)(i) , (b)(ii) , (c)(i) , (c)(ii) or (c)(iii) occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (B) the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent) notifies the Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Loans bearing interest at the Replacement Rate and, in any such event, Administrative Agent shall have also made such determination with respect to similarly situated loans in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally. In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 3.3(c) . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 8.2 ), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any party other than the Administrative Agent and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from such Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Required Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such amendment (which such notice shall note with specificity the particular provisions of the amendment to which such Lender objects). To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with this clause (c), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders).

3.4. Funding Indemnification . If any payment of a LIBOR Rate Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a LIBOR Rate Advance is not made or continued on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as a result of unavailability pursuant to Section 3.3 , the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost (incurred or expected to be incurred) in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the LIBOR Rate Advance and shall pay all such losses or costs within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor.

3.5. Taxes .

(i) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5 ) such Lender or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

-42-

(ii) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (“ Other Taxes ”).

(iii) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5 ) paid by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefore pursuant to Section 3.6 .

(iv) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, a state thereof or the District of Columbia (each a “ Non-U.S. Lender ”) agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, (i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E, as applicable) or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless 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 all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(v) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States.

(vi) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such

-43-

payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate following receipt of such documentation.

(vii) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and any such Lender obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification from the Borrower with respect to such amounts, whether pursuant to this Article III or otherwise, except to the extent the Borrower participated in the actions giving rise to such liability.

(viii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (viii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the effective date of this Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b))

3.6. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity; Delay in Requests . To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1 , 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of LIBOR Rate Advances under Section 3.3 , so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 3.1 , 3.2 , 3.4 or 3.5 . Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a

-44-

LIBOR Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1 , 3.2 , 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 , as applicable, for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

8.1. Acceleration . If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and to issue Facility Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Facility Obligations (including an amount equal to the stated amount of all Facility Letters of Credit outstanding as of the date of the occurrence of such Default for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account) shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, so long as a Default exists Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Loans and the Required Lenders, at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, may permanently terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and declare the Facility Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon (i) if the Required Lenders have elected to accelerate, the Facility Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives and (ii) if any automatic or optional acceleration has occurred, the Administrative Agent, as directed by the Required Lenders (or if no such direction is given within 30 days after a request for direction, as the Administrative Agent deems in the best interests of the Lenders, in its sole discretion, until receipt of a subsequent direction from the Required Lenders), shall use its good faith efforts to collect, including without limitation, by filing and diligently pursuing judicial action, all amounts owed by the Borrower under the Loan Documents and to exercise all other rights and remedies available under applicable law.

In addition to the foregoing, following the occurrence of a Default and so long as any Facility Letter of Credit has not been fully drawn and has not been cancelled or expired by its terms, upon demand by the Required Lenders the Borrower shall deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit and all fees and

-63-

other amounts due or which may become due with respect thereto. The Borrower shall have no control over funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall not be entitled to receive any interest thereon. Such funds shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drafts drawn from time to time under the Facility Letters of Credit and associated issuance costs and fees. Such funds, if any, remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account following the payment of all Facility Obligations in full shall, unless the Administrative Agent is otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, be promptly paid over to the Borrower.

If, within 10 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Facility Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Facility Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, all of the Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2. Amendments .

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII , the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder. Subject to the immediately following subsection (b), any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document relating to the rights or obligations of the Lenders of a particular Class, and not Lenders of any other Class, may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any such terms may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, and only with, the written consent of the Required Class Lenders for such Class of Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of the Borrower and any Subsidiary which is a party thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, the Fee Letter may only be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower thereunder may only be waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto.

(b) Additional Lender Consents . In addition to the foregoing requirements, no amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(i) Extend the Facility Termination Date for a Class of Loans (except as provided in Section 2.1(c) in the case of the Revolving Facility Termination Date) without the written consent of each Lender of the applicable Class;

(ii) Forgive all or any portion of the principal amount of any Loan or accrued interest thereon or of the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations or of the Facility Fee, reduce any of the Applicable Margins (or modify any definition herein which would have the effect of reducing any of the Applicable Margins) or the underlying interest rate options or extend the time of payment of any such principal, interest or Facility Fees or Facility Letter of Credit Fees without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

(iii) Release any Subsidiary Guarantor, except as permitted in Section 6.26, from any liability it may undertake with respect to the Obligations without the written consent of all of the Lenders;

-64-

(iv) Modify the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or “Percentage” or (except as otherwise provided in the immediately following clause (v)), modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, without the written consent of all of the Lenders;

(v) Modify the definition of the term “Required Class Lenders” as it relates to a Class of Lenders or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of a Class of Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, in each case, solely with respect to such Class of Lenders, without the written consent of all of the Lenders in such Class;

(vi) Increase the Aggregate Commitment beyond $1,600,000,000 without the written consent of all of the Lenders, provided that no Commitment of a Lender can be increased without the consent of such Lender;

(vii) Amend the definitions of “Revolving Commitment” or “Revolving Percentage” without the written consent of all of the Revolving Lenders;

(viii) Amend the definition of “Term Percentage” as it applies to a Class of Term Lenders without the written consent of all of the Term Lenders of such Class;

(ix) While any Term Loans remain outstanding (A) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement if the effect of such amendment, modification or waiver is to require the Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans when such Lenders would not otherwise be required to do so, (B) change the amount of the Swingline Commitment or (C) change the amount of the Facility Letter of Credit Sublimit, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Revolving Lenders constituting the Required Class Lenders of the Revolving Lenders;

(x) Permit the Borrower to assign its rights under the Agreement or otherwise release the Borrower from any portion of the Obligations without the written consent of all of the Lenders;

(xi) Cause any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any of the Lenders to be held other than on a pro rata basis (except for the Letter of Credit Collateral Account pursuant to Section 2A.9 ) without the written consent of all of the Lenders;

(xii) Cause any Subsidiary Guarantor to guarantee the Obligations on any basis other than a pro rata basis without the written consent of all of the Lenders; or

(xiii) Amend Sections 2.13 , 2.23 , 8.1 , 8.2 , 8.5 or 11.2 , without the written consent of all of the Lenders.

No amendment of any provision of the Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting

-65-

Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended, and the scheduled date for payment of any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender may not be extended, without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into the amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or enter into additional Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Replacement Rate or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 3.3(c) in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3(c) .

8.3. Preservation of Rights . No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2 , and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

8.4. Insolvency of Borrower . In the event of the insolvency of the Borrower, the Commitments shall automatically terminate, the Lenders shall have no obligation to make further disbursements of the Facility, and the outstanding principal balance of the Facility, including accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be immediately due and payable.

8.5. Application of Funds . If a Default exists, any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

(a) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including attorney costs and amounts payable under Article III ) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

(b) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the Issuing Bank and amounts payable under Article III ), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause (b) payable to them;

(c) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Bank in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (c) payable to them;

10.2. Powers . The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

10.5. Action on Instructions of Lenders . The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the required percentage of the Lenders needed to take such action or refrain from taking such action, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

-71-

Lenders or the Required Class Lenders, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

The obligations of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the Agreement.

10.10. Lender Credit Decision .

Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative 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 action under the Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.11. Successor Administrative Agent . Except as otherwise provided below, KeyBank National Association shall at all times serve as the Administrative Agent during the term of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed). The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time if the Administrative Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become a Defaulting Lender under clause (d) of the definition of such term by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from the Required Lenders (but excluding, for purposes of calculating the percentage needed to constitute Required Lenders in such instance, the Commitment of the Administrative Agent from the Aggregate Commitment and the Advances held by the Administrative Agent from the total outstanding Advances), such removal to be effective on the date specified by such Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval of the Borrower (so long as no Default shall then be in existence), which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and, if applicable, so approved by the Borrower, within forty-five days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of any Lender (but, so long as no Default shall then be in existence, with the consent of the Borrower), appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall in all events be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents arising from and after such date (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender under any of the Loan Documents, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral Security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed). After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions

-73-

taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

10.12. Notice of Defaults . If a Lender becomes aware of a Default or Unmatured Default, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact provided that the failure to give such notice shall not create liability on the part of a Lender. Upon receipt of such notice that a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred or upon it otherwise having actual knowledge of any Default or Unmatured Default, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such fact.

10.13. Requests for Approval . If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period for responses based on Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response) after such written request from the Administrative Agent. If the Lender does not so respond, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the request, unless the consent or approval of affected Lenders or such Lender is required for the requested action as provided under any of clauses (i) through (xiv) of Section 8.2(b) , in which event failure to so respond shall not be deemed to be an approval of such request.

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

(a) Waivers and Amendments . Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 8.2 .

-74-

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(i) No Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.4 or 2.5, as applicable, for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(ii) Each Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender shall be entitled to receive the fee payable under Section 2A.8(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Percentage of the stated amount of Facility Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).

(iii) With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii), the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non‑Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Facility Letter of Credit Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non‑Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d), (y) pay to the Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(d) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure . All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

-75-

(e) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans .

(i) If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.

(ii) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank with respect to Facility Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.

(iii) The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the obligation of the Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders to fund participations in respect of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank with respect to Facility Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Facility Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the obligation of the Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders to fund participations in respect of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(v) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (y) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

-76-

(f) Defaulting Lender Cure . If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank, agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Facility Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d)), as applicable, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided , further , that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(g) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit . So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund a new Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any new Facility Letter of Credit or, extend, renew or increase any outstanding Facility Letter of Credit unless the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such new Swingline Loan and all outstanding Swingline Loans or new Facility Letter of Credit and all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit, as applicable, has been (i) reallocated in accordance with Section 10.14(d) or (ii) Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 10.14(e) .

10.15. Additional Agents . None of the Documentation Agents or the Syndication Agent as designated on the cover of the Agreement have any rights or obligations under the Loan Documents as a result of such designation or of any actions undertaken in such capacity, such parties having only those rights or obligations arising hereunder in their capacities as a Lender.

ARTICLE XI.
SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1. Setoff . In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Default occurs and is continuing, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or account of the Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.14 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

11.2. Ratable Payments . If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments of Swingline Loans and payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1 , 3.2 , 3.4 or 3.5 ) and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.23 or

-77-

8.5 , as applicable, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans in accordance with Section 2.23 or 8.5 , as applicable. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XII.
BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

12.1. Successors and Assigns . The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3 . The parties to the Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under the Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under the Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3 . The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3 ; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

12.2. Participations .

(i) Permitted Participants; Effect . Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions, pension funds, or any other funds or entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under the Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent

-78-

of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(ii) Voting Rights . Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of affected Lenders or such Lender pursuant to the terms of any of clauses (i) through (xiv) of Section 8.2(b) .

(iii) Benefit of Setoff . The Borrower agrees that each Participant which has previously advised the Borrower in writing of its purchase of a participation in a Lender’s interest in its Loans shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant, provided that such Lender and Participant may not each setoff amounts against the same portion of the Obligations, so as to collect the same amount from the Borrower twice. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 , agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.

12.3. Assignments .

(i) Permitted Assignments . Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to any Eligible Assignee, without any approval from the Borrower except as provided in the definition thereof and set forth in this Section 12.3 (any such assignees being referred to herein as “ Purchasers ”), all or any portion (greater than or equal to $5,000,000 for each assignee, so long as the hold position of the assigning Lender is not less than $5,000,000) of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no approval of the Borrower shall be required for any such assignment if a Default has occurred and is then continuing. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto (an “Assignment Agreement”). The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser (x) in

-79-

the case of an assignment by a Revolving Lender, which is not a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate thereof or a fund related thereto and (y) in the case of an assignment by a Term Lender, which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof or fund related thereto. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(ii) Effect; Effective Date . Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of a notice of assignment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit “I” to Exhibit G hereto (a “Notice of Assignment”), together with any consents required by Section 12.3(i) , and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee by the assignor or assignee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment. The Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Loans under the applicable assignment agreement are “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to the Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender, and the transferor Lender shall automatically be released on the effective date of such assignment, with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3(ii) , the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting its Commitment, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

(iii) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all applicable Loans and, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, participations in Facility Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, in accordance with its Revolving Percentage and Term Percentage, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

-80-

(iv) Register . The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office a copy of each Notice of Assignment (and attached Assignment Agreement) 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.4. Dissemination of Information . The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law and any actual party to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

12.5. Tax Treatment . If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5 .

ARTICLE XIII.
NOTICES

13.1. Giving Notice . Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.14 with respect to borrowing notices, all notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under the Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth below its signature hereto or at such other address (or to counsel for such party) as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by facsimile, shall be deemed given when transmitted.

13.2. Change of Address . The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties hereto.

13.3. Electronic Delivery of Information .

(a) Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents may be delivered by electronic communication and delivery, including, the Internet, e-mail or intranet websites to which the Administrative Agent and each Lender have access (including a commercial, third-party website or a website sponsored or hosted by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower) provided that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) notices to any Lender (or the Issuing Bank) pursuant to Article II. and (ii) any Lender that has notified the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that it cannot or does not want to receive electronic communications. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower hereby agree to accept notices and other communications to the other party hereunder by electronic delivery pursuant to procedures approved by both the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for all or particular notices or communications. Documents or notices delivered electronically shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date and at the time on which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower posts such documents or the documents become available on a

-81-

commercial website and the Administrative Agent or Borrower notifies each Lender of said posting and provides a link thereto provided if such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during the normal business hours of the recipient, said posting date and time shall be deemed to have commenced as of 9:00 a.m. local time on the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of any documents to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender that requests such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. Except for Compliance Certificates, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery of or to maintain paper copies of the documents delivered electronically, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any such request for delivery. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it of paper copies and maintaining its paper or electronic documents.

(b) Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Article II. may be delivered electronically to a website provided for such purpose by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures provided to the Borrower and the Lenders by the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE XIV.
COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement shall be effective when it has been executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each party has notified the Administrative Agent, either by electronic transmission by email with a pdf copy or other electronic reproduction of an executed page attached or by telephone, that it has taken such action.

APPLICABLE MARGINS AND FACILITY FEE PERCENTAGES

Prior to the Investment Grade Rating Date, the interest due hereunder with respect to the Advances shall vary from time to time and shall be determined by reference to the Class of Advance and the then-current Leverage Ratio and the Facility Fee Percentage shall be similarly determined. Any such change in the Applicable Margins and Facility Fee Percentage shall be made on the fifth (5 ^th ) day subsequent to the date on which the Administrative Agent receives a Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 6.1(v) with respect to the preceding fiscal quarter of Borrower, provided that the Administrative Agent does not in good faith object to the information provided in such certificate. In the event any such Compliance Certificate is not delivered by Borrower when due under Section 6.1(v) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, if so directed by the Required Class Lenders for such Class of Advance, to increase the Applicable Margins and Facility Fee Percentage to the next higher level until such Compliance Certificate is delivered, by delivering written notice thereof to Borrower. Such changes shall be given prospective effect only, and no recalculation shall be done with respect to interest or Facility Letter of Credit Fees accrued prior to the date of such change in the Applicable Margins. If any such Compliance Certificate shall later be determined to be incorrect and as a result higher Applicable Margins should have been in effect for any period, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders all additional interest and fees which would have accrued if the original Compliance Certificate had been correct, as shown on an invoice to be prepared by the Administrative Agent and delivered to Borrower, on the next Payment Date following delivery of such invoice or on demand of the Administrative Agent if the Aggregate Commitments have terminated. The per annum Applicable Margins that will be either added to the Alternate Base Rate to determine the Floating Rate or added to LIBOR Base Rate to determine the LIBOR Rate for any LIBOR Interest Period and the Facility Fee Percentage shall be determined as follows:



Leverage Ratio	Applicable Margin for Revolving Advances	Applicable Margin for Term Advances	Facility Fee Percentage
<35%	1.05%	1.20%	0.15%
> 35%, <40%	1.10%	1.25%	0.15%
> 40%, <45%	1.15%	1.35%	0.20%
> 45%, <50%	1.25%	1.40%	0.20%
> 50%, <55%	1.30%	1.50%	0.30%
> 55%, <60%	1.50%	1.70%	0.30%
> 60%	1.50%	1.70%	0.30%

On, and at all times after, the Investment Grade Rating Date, the Applicable Margins thereafter shall vary from time to time and shall be determined by reference to the Class of Advance and the then-current Credit Ratings of Borrower, and the Facility Fee Percentage shall be similarly determined. Any subsequent change in any of the Borrower’s Credit Ratings which would cause a different level to be applicable shall be effective as of the first day of the first calendar month immediately following the month in which the Administrative Agent receives written notice delivered by the Borrower that such change in a Credit Rating has occurred; provided, however, if the Borrower has not delivered the notice required but the Administrative Agent becomes aware that any of the Borrower’s Credit Ratings have changed, then the Administrative Agent shall adjust the level effective as of the first day of the first calendar month following the date the Administrative

A-1

Agent becomes aware of such change in Borrower’s Credit Ratings. The per annum Applicable Margins that will be either added to the Alternate Base Rate to determine the Floating Rate or added to LIBOR Base Rate to determine the LIBOR Rate for any LIBOR Interest Period and the Facility Fee Percentage shall be determined as follows:



Credit Rating (S&P and Moody’s)	Applicable Margin for Revolving Advances	Applicable Margin for Term Advances	Facility Fee Percentage
At least A- or A3	0.825%	0.90%	0.125%
At least BBB+ or Baa1	0.875%	0.95%	0.15%
At least BBB or Baa2	1.00%	1.10%	0.20%
At least BBB- or Baa3	1.20%	1.35%	0.25%
Below BBB- and Baa3	1.55%	1.75%	0.30%

If each of the rating agencies assigns a Credit Rating which corresponds to different levels in the above table, the Applicable Margins and Facility Fee Percentage will be determined based on the level corresponding to the higher Credit Rating of the assigned Credit Ratings. If either of the rating agencies ceases to assign a Credit Rating to the Borrower, the Applicable Margins and Facility Fee Percentage will be determined based on the level corresponding to the Credit Rating assigned by the other rating agency. During any period after the Investment Grade Rating Date in which the Borrower ceases to be rated by both rating agencies, the Applicable Margins and Facility Fee Percentage shall be determined based on a Credit Rating of “Below BBB- and Baa3”, effective in each case as of the first day of the first calendar month immediately following the month in which the Administrative Agent receives written notice delivered by the Borrower that such cessation has occurred; provided, however, if the Borrower has not delivered the notice required but the Administrative Agent becomes aware of such cessation, then the Administrative Agent shall adjust the level effective as of the first day of the first calendar month following the date the Administrative Agent becomes aware of such cessation.

FORM OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

This Subsidiary Guaranty (this “ Guaranty ”) is made as of ________________, by the parties identified in the signature pages thereto, and any Joinder to Guaranty hereafter delivered (collectively, the “ Subsidiary Guarantors” ), to and for the benefit of KeyBank National Association, individually (“ KeyBank” ) and as administrative agent (“ Administrative Agent ”) for itself and the lenders under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “ Lenders ”).

RECITALS

A. Retail Properties of America, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (“ Borrower” ), and Subsidiary Guarantors have requested that the Lenders make a combined term loan and revolving credit facility available to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000,000, subject to possible future increase to an aggregate of $1,600,000,000 (the “ Facility ”).

B. The Lenders have agreed to make available the Facility to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 23, 2018 among Borrower, KeyBank, individually, and as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders named therein (as amended, modified, supplemented, restated, or renewed, from time to time, the “ Credit Agreement ”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

C. Borrower has executed and delivered or will execute and deliver to the Lenders promissory notes in the principal amount of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Term Loans, as applicable, as evidence, in addition to the Credit Agreement, of Borrower’s indebtedness to each such Lender with respect to the Facility (the promissory notes described above, together with any amendments or allonges thereto, or restatements, replacements or renewals thereof, and/or new promissory notes to new Lenders under the Credit Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “ Notes ”).

D. Subsidiary Guarantors are Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of Borrower. Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that the extension of credit by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement will benefit Subsidiary Guarantors by making funds available to Subsidiary Guarantors through Borrower and by enhancing the financial strength of the consolidated group of which Subsidiary Guarantors and Borrower are members. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Subsidiary Guarantors are conditions precedent to the performance by the Lenders of their obligations under the Credit Agreement.

AGREEMENTS

NOW, THEREFORE, Subsidiary Guarantors, in consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, hereby agree as follows:

1. Subsidiary Guarantors absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guaranty to each of the Lenders:

E- 1

(a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Facility Obligations when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the prompt payment of all sums which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing under the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents;

(b) the payment of all Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Paragraph 7 hereof); and

(c) the full, complete, and punctual observance, performance, and satisfaction of all of the obligations, duties, covenants, and agreements of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.

All amounts due, debts, liabilities, and payment obligations described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “ Facility Indebtedness .” All obligations described in subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “ Obligations .” Subsidiary Guarantors and Lenders agree that Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall not exceed the greater of: (i) the aggregate amount of all monies received, directly or indirectly, by Subsidiary Guarantors from Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or other means), or (ii) the maximum amount of the Facility Indebtedness not subject to avoidance under Title 11 of the United States Code, as same may be amended from time to time, or any applicable state law (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”). To that end, to the extent such obligations would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code if Subsidiary Guarantors are not deemed to have received valuable consideration, fair value or reasonably equivalent value for its obligations hereunder, each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor insolvent, or leave such Subsidiary Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause such Subsidiary Guarantor to have incurred debts (or intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, as such terms are determined, and at the time such obligations are deemed to have been incurred, under the Bankruptcy Code. In the event a Subsidiary Guarantor shall make any payment or payments under this Guaranty, each other Subsidiary Guarantor of the Facility Indebtedness shall contribute to such Subsidiary Guarantor an amount equal to such nonpaying Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata share (based on their respective maximum liabilities hereunder) of such payment or payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor, provided that such contribution right shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment in full of all the Facility Indebtedness to Lenders. Subsidiary Guarantors and Lenders further agree that Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with regard to the Facility Obligations shall be determined in accordance with the terms hereof and Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder are not intended to be determined by or subject to the definition of “Guarantee Obligations” in the Credit Agreement.

2. In the event of any default by Borrower in making payment of the Facility Indebtedness, or in performance of the Obligations, as aforesaid, in each case beyond the expiration of any applicable grace period, Subsidiary Guarantors agree, on demand by the Administrative Agent or the holder of a Note, to pay all the Facility Indebtedness and to perform all the Obligations as are then or thereafter become due and owing or are to be performed under the terms of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents.

3. Subsidiary Guarantors do hereby waive (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (ii) any defense, right of set-off or other claim which Subsidiary Guarantors may have against Borrower or which Subsidiary Guarantors or Borrower may have against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or the holder of a Note, (iii) presentment for payment, demand for

E- 2

payment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above), notice of nonpayment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above) or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Subsidiary Guarantors with liability, (iv) any failure by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to inform Subsidiary Guarantors of any facts the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may now or hereafter know about Borrower, the Facility, or the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty so to inform and that Subsidiary Guarantors are fully responsible for being and remaining informed by Borrower of all circumstances bearing on the existence or creation, or the risk of nonpayment of the Facility Indebtedness or the risk of nonperformance of the Obligations, (v) any and all right to cause a marshalling of assets of Borrower or any other action by any court or governmental body with respect thereto, or to cause the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to proceed against any other security given to a Lender in connection with the Facility Indebtedness or the Obligations, (vi) any invalidity or unenforceability of the Facility Indebtedness, and (vii) any amendment or waiver of the Facility Indebtedness, including without limitation any of the actions described in Paragraph 4 below. Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Lenders to Borrower without notice to or authorization from Subsidiary Guarantors, regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Subsidiary Guarantors the Lenders’ assessment of the financial condition of Borrower. Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Subsidiary Guarantors. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and the Lenders except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that any exculpatory language contained in the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents shall in no event apply to this Guaranty, and will not prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from proceeding against Subsidiary Guarantors to enforce this Guaranty.

4. Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that Subsidiary Guarantors' liability as guarantor shall in no way be impaired by any renewals or extensions which may be made from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Subsidiary Guarantors of the time for payment of interest or principal under a Note or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under a Note, or by any waiver by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders’ failure or election not to pursue any other remedies they may have against Borrower, or by any change or modification in a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or by the acceptance by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Facility Indebtedness, even though a Lender might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Facility Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that Subsidiary Guarantors shall remain liable as principal for payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations until all indebtedness has been paid in full and the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and other Loan Documents and this Guaranty have been performed, notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety. Subsidiary Guarantors further understand and agree that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time enter into agreements with Borrower to amend and modify a Note, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents related thereto, and may waive or release any provision or provisions of a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing this Guaranty or

any of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders’ rights hereunder or any of Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the Loans or any Letter of Credit, the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

5. This is an absolute, unconditional, complete, present and continuing guaranty of

payment and performance and not of collection. Subsidiary Guarantors agree that its obligations hereunder shall be joint and several with any and all other guaranties given in connection with the Facility from time to time. Subsidiary Guarantors agree that this Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral, if any, given in connection herewith or with a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or by or resorting to any other guaranties, and Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waive the right to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to join Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to them at law and/or in equity or under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, and the exercise of any of their rights or the completion of any of their remedies shall not constitute a discharge of any of Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of Subsidiary Guarantors that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be primary, absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. Neither Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or by reason of Borrower’s bankruptcy or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective and be deemed to have continued in existence or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by the payee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the payor, all as though such payment to such Lender had not been made, regardless of whether such Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment. The obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the preceding sentence shall survive any termination, cancellation, or release of this Guaranty.

6. This Guaranty shall be assignable by a Lender to any assignee of all or a portion of such Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents.

7. If: (i) this Guaranty, a Note, or any of the Loan Documents are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any Loan Document; (iii) an attorney is retained to enforce any of the other Loan Documents or to provide advice or other representation with respect to the Loan Documents in connection with an enforcement action or potential enforcement action; or (iv) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any other legal proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, any of the Loan Documents, or any property subject thereto (other than any action or proceeding brought by any Lender or participant against the Administrative Agent alleging a breach by the Administrative Agent of its duties under the Loan Documents), then Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay to the Administrative

E- 4

Agent or such Lender upon demand all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs, filing fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “ Enforcement Costs ”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.

8. The parties hereto intend that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of the Administrative Agent and the Lender or the holder of a Note under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.

9. Any indebtedness of Borrower to Subsidiary Guarantors now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the Facility Indebtedness. Subsidiary Guarantors will not seek, accept, or retain for Subsidiary Guarantors’ own account, any payment from Borrower on account of such subordinated debt at any time when a Default exists under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, and any such payments to Subsidiary Guarantors made while any Default then exists under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Subsidiary Guarantors in trust for the Lenders and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on account of the Facility Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder.

10. Subsidiary Guarantors hereby subordinate to the Facility Indebtedness any and all claims and rights, including, without limitation, subrogation rights, contribution rights, reimbursement rights and set-off rights, which Subsidiary Guarantors may have against Borrower arising from a payment made by Subsidiary Guarantors under this Guaranty and agree that, until the entire Facility Indebtedness is paid in full, not to assert or take advantage of any subrogation rights of Subsidiary Guarantors or the Lenders or any right of Subsidiary Guarantors or the Lenders to proceed against (i) Borrower for reimbursement, or (ii) any other guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Lenders for the payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, nor shall Subsidiary Guarantors seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder. It is expressly understood that the agreements of Subsidiary Guarantors set forth above constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to the Lenders for their security and as an inducement for their extension of credit to Borrower.

11. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this paragraph shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until the entire Facility Indebtedness is paid in full, and none of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under this paragraph against any other Subsidiary Guarantor until the entire Facility Indebtedness is paid in full. Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph 10, this paragraph shall not be deemed to affect any claims or rights, including, without limitation, subrogation rights, contribution rights, reimbursement rights and set-off rights, that any Subsidiary Guarantor may have under applicable law against the Borrower in respect of any payment of the Facility Indebtedness or the Obligations. Notwithstanding

E- 5

the foregoing, all rights of contribution against any Subsidiary Guarantor shall terminate from and after such time, if ever, that such Subsidiary Guarantor shall cease to be a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Section 6.26 of the Credit Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, the following terms have the indicated meanings:

(a) “ Contribution Share ” means, for any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors other than the maker of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors) of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors other than the maker of such Excess Payment; provided , however , that, for purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of the Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of any Excess Payment, any Subsidiary Guarantor that became a Subsidiary Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such Excess Payment shall be deemed to have been a Subsidiary Guarantor on the date of such Excess Payment and the financial information for such Subsidiary Guarantor as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor became a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be utilized for such Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with such Excess Payment.

(b) “ Excess Payment ” means the amount paid by any Subsidiary Guarantor in excess of its Ratable Share (as defined below) of the Facility Indebtedness.

(c) “ Ratable Share ” means, for any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of any payment of the Facility Indebtedness, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of the Facility Indebtedness of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder) of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors; provided , however , that, for purposes of calculating the Ratable Shares of the Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of any payment of the Facility Indebtedness, any Subsidiary Guarantor that became a Subsidiary Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such payment shall be deemed to have been a Subsidiary Guarantor on the date of such payment and the financial information for such Subsidiary Guarantor as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor became a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such payment.

12. Any amounts received by a Lender from any source on account of any indebtedness may be applied by such Lender toward the payment of such indebtedness, and in such order of application, as a Lender may from time to time elect.

13. Subsidiary Guarantors hereby submit to personal jurisdiction in the State of Illinois for the enforcement of this Guaranty and waive any and all personal rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Guaranty. Subsidiary Guarantors hereby consent to the jurisdiction of either the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, or the United States District Court for the Northern District

E- 6

of Illinois, in any action, suit, or proceeding which the Administrative Agent or a Lender may at any time wish to file in connection with this Guaranty or any related matter. Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that an action, suit, or proceeding to enforce this Guaranty may be brought in any state or federal court in the State of Illinois and hereby waives any objection which Subsidiary Guarantors may have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit, or proceeding in any such court; provided, however, that the provisions of this Paragraph shall not be deemed to preclude the Administrative Agent or a Lender from filing any such action, suit, or proceeding in any other appropriate forum.

14. All notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth below or at such other address as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties.
