Item 1.01 .                Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement .
 
On September 27, 2010, Oshkosh Corporation (the “ Company ”) entered into a Credit Agreement among the Company, various subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as borrowers and various lenders and agents party thereto (the “ Credit Agreement ”).  The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing credit agreement.
 
The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility that matures in October 2015 with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $550 million and (ii) a $650 million term loan facility due in quarterly principal installments of $16.25 million commencing December 31, 2010 with a balloon payment of $341.25 million due at maturity in October 2015.  Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit, which were approximately $36.5 million as of September 27, 2010.  The Company may increase the aggregate amount of the revolving credit and/or term loan commitments under the Credit Agreement, including by the addition of one or more additional tranches of term loans, by an aggregate amount of up to $400 million if certain conditions are satisfied, including that the Company is not in default under the Credit Agreement at the time of the increase and that the Company obtains the consent of the lenders participating in the increase.  On September 27, 2010, the Company borrowed approximately $150 million under the revolving credit facility in addition to the $650 million of term loans under the term loan facility to refinance the balance then outstanding under the Company’s existing credit agreement, to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the closing of the Credit Agreement and for other corporate purposes.
 
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries, and the Company will guarantee the obligations of certain of its subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement to the extent such subsidiaries borrow directly under the Credit Agreement.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement is secured by (i) a first-priority perfected lien and security interests in substantially all of the personal property of the Company, each material subsidiary of the Company and each subsidiary guarantor, (ii) mortgages upon certain real property of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and (iii) a pledge of the equity of each material subsidiary and each subsidiary guarantor.
 
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied, or (ii) for dollar-denominated loans only, the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month LIBOR) plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied.
 
The Company must also pay (1) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.40% to 0.50% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement and (2) a fee ranging from 1.125% to 3.50% per annum of the maximum amount available to be drawn for each letter of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
 
The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants, including requirements that the Company maintain certain financial ratios at prescribed levels and restrictions on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, consummate acquisitions and make investments in joint ventures and foreign subsidiaries.  The Credit Agreement contains the following financial covenants:  (i) a maximum leverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of the Company’s consolidated indebtedness to consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization,
 
1 

 
non-cash charges and certain other items (“ EBITDA ”)) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of 4.50 to 1.0; (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of the Company’s EBITDA to the Company’s consolidated cash interest expense) of 2.50 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter; and (iii) a maximum senior secured leverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of the Company’s consolidated secured indebtedness to the Company’s EBITDA) of (a) 3.25 to 1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter through and including the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2011, (b) 3.0 to 1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter through and including the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2012 and (c) 2.75 to 1.0 as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012 and each fiscal quarter thereafter.
 
Additionally, with certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement limits the ability of the Company to pay dividends and other distributions.  However, so long as no event of default exists under the Credit Agreement or would result from such payment, the Company may pay dividends and other distributions in an aggregate amount not exceeding the sum of:
 
(i)            $50 million during any fiscal year; plus
 
(ii)           the excess of (a) 25% of the cumulative net income of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for all fiscal quarters ending after September 27, 2010, over (b) the cumulative amount of all such dividends and other distributions made in any fiscal year ending after such date that exceed $50 million; plus
 
(iii)          for each of the first four fiscal quarters ending after September 27, 2010, $25 million per fiscal quarter, in each case provided that the leverage ratio (as defined) as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter was less than 2.0 to 1.0; plus
 
(iv)          for the period of four fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2011 and for each period of four fiscal quarters ending thereafter, $100 million during such period, in each case provided that the leverage ratio (as defined) as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter was less than 2.0 to 1.0.
 
The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.  If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then the lenders may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.  In addition, if the Company or any other borrower or guarantor becomes the subject of voluntary or involuntary proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, then any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement will automatically become immediately due and payable.  Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 2.0% per annum in excess of the otherwise applicable rate upon acceleration of such loans or, upon the lenders’ request, during the continuance of any event of default under the Credit Agreement.
 
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

(c)            If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Offshore Rate Loans, a Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Offshore Rate Loans, as the case may be, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Loans as Offshore Rate Loans to itself denominated in the same currency and having a one-month Interest Period effective as of the expiration date of such expiring Interest Period.
 
(d)            The Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by a Borrower, of the details of any automatic conversion or continuation.  All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.
 
(e)            Unless the Required Revolving Lenders or Required Term Lenders of the relevant Class of Term Loans, as applicable, otherwise consent, during the existence of a Specified Default, no Borrower may elect to have a Revolving Loan or a Term Loan of such Class converted into or continued as an Offshore Rate Loan.
 
(f)             During the existence of an Event of Default, the Required Revolving Lenders may require, by notice to the Borrowers and the Agent, that all outstanding Revolving Loans that are Offshore Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or be redenominated

(g)            After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Loans, unless the Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be more than 15 different Interest Periods in effect.
 
(h)            Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to accept Notices of Conversion/Continuation based on telephonic notices made by any Person, the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower.  Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice, signed by a Responsible Officer or an authorized designee.  If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.
 
2.05          The Swing Line Loans .  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender may in its sole discretion make Swing Line Loans denominated in Dollars to the Company from time to time prior to the Revolving Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $100,000,000; provided that after giving effect to any such Swing Line Loan, the Total Revolving Usage shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment.  Prior to the Revolving Termination Date, the Company may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, prepaying the Swing Line Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.  All Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at the Swing Line Rate and shall not be entitled to be converted into Loans that bear interest at any other rate.
 
2.06          Procedure for Swing Line Loans .  (a) The Company may borrow under the Swing Line Commitment on any Business Day until the Revolving Termination Date; provided that the Company shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable written notice signed by a Responsible Officer or an authorized designee (which notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. (local time)) with a copy to the Agent specifying the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan, which shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000.  Unless the Swing Line Lender has received prior notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Agent on the date of the proposed Swing Line Loan that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied, the proceeds of a requested Swing Line Loan will be made available by the Swing Line Lender to the Company in immediately available funds at the office of the Swing Line Lender by 4:00 p.m. (local time) on the date of such notice of borrowing.  The Company may at any time and from time to time, prepay the Swing Line Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, by notifying the Swing Line Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. (local time) on any Business Day of the date and amount of prepayment with a copy to the Agent.  If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Partial prepayments shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000.
 
(b)            If any Swing Line Loan shall remain outstanding at 11:00 a.m. (local time) on the fifth Business Day following the date of such Swing Line Loan and if by such time on such fifth Business Day the Agent shall not have received either (i) a Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 requesting that Revolving Loans be made pursuant to Section 2.01 on the immediately succeeding Business Day in an amount at least equal to the principal
 
39 

 
amount of such Swing Line Loan for the purpose of refunding such Swing Line Loan or (ii) any other notice satisfactory to the Agent indicating the Company’s intent to repay such Swing Line Loan on or before the immediately succeeding Business Day with funds obtained from other sources or to extend such Swing Line Loan, then on such Business Day the Swing Line Lender shall (and on any Business Day the Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion may), on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf) request the Agent to notify each Revolving Lender to make a Revolving Loan consisting of a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of (A) in the case of such a request which is required to be made, the amount of the relevant Swing Line Loan and (B) in the case of such a discretionary request, the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given; provided that absent notice by the Company to the contrary by such time on such fifth Business Day, the Company shall be deemed to have requested, at the end of such five Business Day period, that each outstanding Swing Line Loan be extended for an additional period of five Business Days, so long as the conditions specified in Section 5.02 would be satisfied at the beginning of each such additional period, treating each such extension as if it were the making of a new Loan.  Unless any of the events described in Section 9.01(f) or (g) shall have occurred with respect to the Company (in which event the procedures of subsection (d) of this Section 2.06 shall apply) each Revolving Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Loan available to the Agent (and the Agent may during a Specified Default apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Agent’s Payment Office in funds immediately available prior to 1:00 p.m. (local time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given.  The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the outstanding Swing Line Loans.  Effective on the day such Revolving Loans are made, the portion of the Swing Line Loans so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note.  The Company shall pay to the Swing Line Lender, promptly following the Swing Line Lender’s demand, the amount of its outstanding Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such outstanding Swing Line Loans.
 
(c)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Swing Line Lender (i) shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan if the conditions set forth in Article V have not been satisfied and (ii) shall not make any requested Swing Line Loan if, prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time) on the date of such requested Swing Line Loan, it has received a written notice from the Agent or any Revolving Lender directing it not to make further Swing Line Loans because any condition specified in Article V is not then satisfied.
 
(d)            If prior to the making of a Revolving Loan required to be made by Section 2.06(b) a Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Company, each Revolving Lender will, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice described in Section 2.06(b) , purchase an undivided participating interest in all outstanding Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all such Swing Line Loans.  Each Revolving Lender will immediately transfer to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation.
 
40 

 
(e)            Whenever, at any time after a Revolving Lender has purchased a participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to the Agent for delivery to each Revolving Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Agent for delivery to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Line Lender to it.
 
(f)             Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to in Section 2.06(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.06(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender or the Company may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
 
2.07          The Fronted Offshore Currency Loans .
 
(a)            Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article V and in the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum, from the later of the date of this Agreement and the date of execution of the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum to the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments (or such earlier termination date as shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum), each Fronting Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum, to make Fronted Offshore Currency Loans under such Offshore Currency Addendum to the applicable Borrower party to such Offshore Currency Addendum from time to time in the applicable Alternative Currency, in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount not to exceed such Fronting Lender’s applicable Fronted Offshore Currency Commitment (the amount of which shall in no event be, if not zero, less than the Dollar Equivalent of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000); provided that, at no time shall the Dollar Equivalent of the Fronted Offshore Currency Loans for any specific Alternative Currency exceed the maximum amount specified as the maximum amount for such Alternative Currency in the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum other than as a result of currency fluctuations.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum, the applicable Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Fronted Offshore Currency Loans in the applicable Alternative Currency at any time prior to the termination of the Revolving Commitments (or such earlier termination date as shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum).  Upon the termination of the Revolving Commitments (or such earlier termination date as shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum), the outstanding principal balance of the Fronted Offshore Currency Loans shall be paid in full by the applicable Borrower; and prior to the termination of the Revolving Commitments, prepayments of the Fronted Offshore Currency Loans shall be made by the
 
41 

 
applicable Borrower if and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b) .  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that no Lender shall have any obligation to become a Fronting Lender.
 
(b)            The applicable Borrower shall pay the applicable Fronting Lender a fronting fee in respect of each Fronted Offshore Currency Loan in accordance with the Offshore Currency Addendum (or other agreement with such Fronting Lender).
 
(c)            Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in no event shall any Fronting Lender have the right to accelerate the Fronted Offshore Currency Loans outstanding under any Offshore Currency Addendum prior to the stated termination date in respect thereof, except that each Fronting Lender shall have such right upon an acceleration of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Article IX .
 
(d)            Each Fronting Lender shall furnish to the Agent not less frequently than monthly, at the end of each calendar quarter, and at any other time upon the request of the Agent, a statement setting forth the outstanding Fronted Offshore Currency Loans made and repaid during the period since the last such report.
 
(e)            Immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of a Specified Default, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the applicable Fronting Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Fronted Offshore Currency Loan ratably in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of principal and accrued interest of such Loan, and such Fronted Offshore Currency Loans shall, as the Required Lenders shall direct, either be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.  Each of the Lenders shall pay to the applicable Fronting Lender not later than two Business Days following a request for payment from such Fronting Lender, in Dollars, an amount equal to the undivided interest in and participation in the Fronted Offshore Currency Loan purchased by such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.07(e) , and the Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Fronted Offshore Currency Loan.  If any Lender fails to make payment to the applicable Fronting Lender of any amount due under this Section 2.07(e) , the Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the Agent receives from such Lender an amount sufficient to discharge such Lender’s payment obligation as prescribed in this Section 2.07(e) together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand by the applicable Fronting Lender and ending on the date such obligation is fully satisfied.  The Agent will promptly remit all payments received as provided above to the applicable Fronting Lender.  In consideration of the risk participations prescribed in this Section 2.07(e) , each Lender shall receive, from the accrued interest paid for periods prior to the conversion of any Fronted Offshore Currency Loan as described above by the applicable Borrower on each Fronted Offshore Currency Loan, a fee equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Applicable Offshore Rate Margin component of the interest accrued on such Loan, as in effect from time to time during the period such interest accrued.  Such portion of the interest paid by the applicable Borrower on Fronted Offshore Currency Loans to the applicable Fronting Lender shall be paid as promptly as possible by such Fronting Lender to the Agent, and the Agent shall as promptly as possible convert such amount into Dollars at the Spot Rate and apply such resulting amount
 
42 

 
ratably among the Revolving Lenders (including the Fronting Lenders) in proportion to their respective Revolving Percentages.
 
(f)             Whenever, at any time after a Revolving Lender has purchased a participating interest in a Fronted Offshore Currency Loan, the applicable Fronting Lender receives any payment on account thereof, such Fronting Lender will distribute to the Agent for delivery to each Revolving Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided that if such payment received by such Fronting Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Agent for delivery to such Fronting Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Agent or such Fronting Lender.
 
(g)            Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase the participating interests referred to in Section 2.07(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender or any Borrower may have against any Fronting Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
 
(h)            The specification of payment of Fronted Offshore Currency Loans in the related Alternative Currency at a specific place pursuant to this Agreement is of the essence.  Such Alternative Currency shall, subject to this Section 2.07 , be the currency of account and payment of such Loans under this Agreement and the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the obligation of the applicable Borrower in respect of such Loans shall not be discharged by an amount paid in any other currency or at another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent the amount so paid, on prompt conversion into the applicable Alternative Currency and transfer to such Lender under normal banking procedure, does not yield the amount of such Alternative Currency due under this Agreement or the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum.  If any payment, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer, does not result in payment of the amount of such Alternative Currency due under this Agreement or the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum, the applicable Borrower shall pay such deficiency to the applicable Lender (and such Lender shall have an independent cause of action against such Borrower for such deficiency.)  If any payment, upon conversion and transfer, results in payment in excess of the amount of such Alternative Currency due under this Agreement or the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum, the applicable Lender shall refund such excess to the applicable Borrower.
 
2.08          Utilization of Commitments in Offshore Currencies; Valuation .
 
(a)            The Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of each Offshore Rate Loan and each Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars on each Computation Date, and such determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The
 
43 

 
Agent will provide the Company with the amount so determined upon request and, in any event, promptly following the end of each month.
 
(b)            Upon receipt of any Notice of Borrowing of Offshore Currency Loans, the Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the approximate amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Borrowing, and the Agent will, upon the determination of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the Borrowing as specified in the Notice of Borrowing, promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the exact amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Borrowing.  In the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Offshore Currency Loans, the Revolving Lenders shall be under no obligation to make Offshore Currency Loans in the requested Offshore Currency as part of such Borrowing if the Agent has received notice from any Revolving Lender by 3:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the day of such Borrowing stating that (i) such Lender cannot provide Loans in such Offshore Currency without adverse tax or legal consequences and/or (ii) such Lender does not provide loans in such Offshore Currency generally, in which event the Agent will give notice to the Company no later than 4:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing that a Borrowing in such Offshore Currency is not then available, no such Borrowing shall be made and any request for a Revolving Loan in such Offshore Currency shall be deemed withdrawn and shall otherwise be without effect.
 
(c)            In the case of a proposed continuation of Offshore Currency Loans for an additional Interest Period pursuant to Section 2.04 , the Revolving Lenders shall be under no obligation to continue such Offshore Currency Loans if the Agent has received notice from any of the Revolving Lenders by 4:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the day of such continuation that such Revolving Lender cannot continue to provide Loans in the applicable Offshore Currency, in which event the Agent will give notice to the Company not later than 9:00 a.m. (local time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested date of such continuation that the continuation of such Offshore Currency Loans in such Offshore Currency is not then available, and notice thereof also will be given promptly by the Agent to the Revolving Lenders.  If the Agent shall have so notified the Company that any such continuation of Offshore Currency Loans is not then available, any Notice of Continuation/Conversion with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn and such Offshore Currency Loans shall be redenominated into Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans assumed by the Company in Dollars with effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Offshore Currency Loans.  The Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Revolving Lenders of any such redenomination and in such notice by the Agent to each Revolving Lender the Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the redenominated Offshore Currency Loans assumed by the Company as of the Computation Date with respect thereto and such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof.
 
(d)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the existence of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Offshore Currency Loans be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.  The Agent will promptly notify the applicable Borrower of any such prepayment or redenomination request.
 
44 

 
(e)            The Company shall be entitled to request that Revolving Loans hereunder shall also be permitted to be made in any other lawful currency, in addition to Dollars and the currencies specified in the definition of “Offshore Currency”, that in the opinion of each Revolving Lender is at such time freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign exchange markets and is freely transferable and freely convertible into Dollars (an “ Agreed Alternative Currency ”).  The Company shall deliver to the Agent any request for designation of an Agreed Alternative Currency in accordance with Section 11.02 , to be received by the Agent not later than noon (local time) at least ten Business Days in advance of the date of any Borrowing hereunder proposed to be made in such Agreed Alternative Currency.  Upon receipt of any such request the Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Lenders thereof, and each Revolving Lender will use its best efforts to respond to such request within two Business Days of receipt thereof.  Each Revolving Lender may grant or deny such request in its sole discretion.  The Agent will promptly notify the Company of the acceptance or rejection of any such request.
 
2.09          Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments .  (a) The Company may, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent (which notice may be conditioned upon the consummation of replacement financing), terminate the Revolving Commitments, or permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment by $10,000,000 or any higher integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided that the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount less than the Total Revolving Usage.  Once reduced in accordance with this subsection (a) , the Aggregate Revolving Commitment may not be increased, except as provided in Section 2.20 .  Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be applied to reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender according to its Revolving Percentage.
 
(b)            At no time shall the sum of the Swing Line Commitment and the Fronted Offshore Currency Commitments exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, and any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment which reduces the Aggregate Revolving Commitment below the then-current sum of the Swing Line Commitment and the Fronted Offshore Currency Commitments shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Swing Line Commitment and/or the Fronted Offshore Currency Commitments (as specified by the Company or, in the absence of such specification, pro rata according to the amounts thereof) so that the sum thereof is equal to the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, as so reduced.  At no time shall the sum of the Swing Line Commitment plus any Fronted Offshore Currency Commitment of any Lender exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Lender, and any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment which reduces the Revolving Commitment of such Lender below the then-current sum of the Swing Line Commitment plus the Fronted Offshore Currency Commitment of such Lender shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Swing Line Commitment and the Fronted Offshore Currency Commitment of such Lender, on a ratable basis, to the amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender, as so reduced, without any action on the part of such Lender.
 
2.10          Optional Prepayments .  Subject to Section 4.04 , any Borrower may, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than two Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Agent (which notice may be conditioned upon the consummation of replacement financing), in respect of Offshore Rate Loans (other than Fronted Offshore Currency Loans, except as otherwise provided in the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum), and in respect of Base Rate Loans, by not later

(d)            Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of any Borrower to any Lender hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event such Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
 
2.14          Fees .  In addition to certain fees described in Section 3.08 :

(b)            Commitment Fees .  The Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter based upon the daily utilization for that quarter as calculated by the Agent, equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage.  For purposes of calculating utilization under this subsection, the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed used to the extent of the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding (excluding any outstanding Swing Line Loans), plus the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of the Fronted Offshore Currency Loans then outstanding plus the amount of all L/C Obligations then outstanding, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.12 .  Such commitment fee shall accrue from the Effective Date to the Revolving Termination Date and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing on December 31, 2010 through the Revolving Termination Date, with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Termination Date; provided that, in connection with any reduction or termination of Revolving Commitments under Section 2.09 , the accrued commitment fee calculated for the period ending on such date shall also be paid on the date of such reduction or termination, with the following quarterly payment being calculated on the basis of the period from such reduction or termination date to such quarterly payment date.  The commitment fees provided in this subsection shall accrue at all times after the above-mentioned commencement date, including at any time during which one or more conditions in Article V are not met.
 
48 

 
2.15         Computation of Fees and Interest .  (a) Interest on any Loan bearing interest based upon Bank of America’s prime rate or denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year) or on such other basis as the Agent shall determine is customary for the relevant currency.  Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.
 
(b)           Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders in the absence of demonstrable error.
 
2.16         Payments by the Borrowers .  (a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim.  Except as otherwise specified herein, all payments by the Borrowers shall be made to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders at the Agent’s Payment Office no later than 11:00 a.m. (local time) on the date specified herein.  All such payments shall be made in funds immediately available to the Agent and (i) in the case of principal and interest payments with respect to Offshore Rate Loans, in the Applicable Currency, and (ii) in the case of any other amount, in Dollars or such other currency as shall be specified herein.  The Agent will promptly distribute to each applicable Lender its applicable share of such payment in like funds as received which, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be based upon such Lender’s Percentage of the Loans in respect of which such payment has been made.  Any payment received by the Agent later than 1:00 p.m. (local time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
 
(b)           Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.
 
(c)           Unless the Agent receives notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the applicable Lenders that such Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent a Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.
 
2.17         Payments by the Lenders to the Agent .  (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.08 with respect to Fronted Offshore Currency Loans, unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Effective Date or, with respect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans after the Effective Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the
 
49 

 
Agent for the account of a Borrower the amount of that Lender’s Percentage of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds on the Borrowing Date and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds and the Agent in such circumstances has made available to such Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date make such amount available to the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period.  A notice of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection (a)  shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement.  If such amount is not made available to the Agent on the Business Day following the Borrowing Date, the Agent will notify the applicable Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.
 
(b)           The failure of any applicable Lender to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other applicable Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on any Borrowing Date.
 
2.18         Sharing of Payments, Etc.   If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder), such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Agent of such fact and (b) purchase in Dollars from the other applicable Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other applicable Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 11.09 ) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.  The Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the applicable Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.

(b)           At least two Business Days prior to the Issuance of any Letter of Credit (or such shorter time as the Agent may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion), the applicable Issuer will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has received a copy of the L/C Application or L/C Amendment Application and, if not, such Issuer will provide the Agent with a copy thereof.  Unless the applicable Issuer has received notice on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the date such Issuer is to issue a requested Letter of Credit from the Agent (A) directing such Issuer not to issue such Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then permitted under Section 3.01(a)  as a result of the limitations set forth in clauses (1)  and (2)  thereof or Section 3.01(b)(ii) ; or (B) that one or more conditions specified in Article V are not then satisfied; then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.
 
(c)           From time to time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Revolving Termination Date, the applicable Issuer will, upon the written request of the Company received by such Issuer (with a copy sent by such Issuer to the Agent) at least three days (or such shorter time as such Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of amendment, amend any Letter of Credit issued by it.  Each such request for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing (if required by the applicable Issuer), made in the form of an L/C Amendment Application or through on-line letter of credit software acceptable to such Issuer, and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such Issuer:  (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as such Issuer may require.  No Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if:  (A) such amendment would extend the expiry date for, or increase the amount of, such Letter of Credit and such Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept such
 
59 

 
amendment (and no Issuer shall so amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received a notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.02(b) ).  The Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Lenders of the receipt by it of any L/C Application or L/C Amendment Application.
 
(d)                                  If the Company so requests in any applicable L/C Application or L/C Amendment Application, the Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “ Auto-Extension Letter of Credit ”). Unless otherwise required by the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuer for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (b) of Section 3.01 or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the scheduled date of such extension from the Agent, any Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Issuer not to permit such extension.
 
(e)                                   This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any L/C-Related Document (other than any Letter of Credit).
 
(f)                                     Each Issuer will also deliver to the Agent:
 
(i)            concurrently or promptly following its delivery of a Letter of Credit, or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit, to an advising bank or a beneficiary, a true and complete copy of each such Letter of Credit or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit.
 
(ii)           no later than the third Business Day following the last day of each month, a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Company to such Issuing Lender during such month.
 
3.03                            Risk Participations, Drawings and Reimbursements .  (a) Immediately upon the Issuance of a Letter of Credit by an Issuer, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Revolving Percentage of such Revolving Lender, times (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.  For purposes of Section 2.01 , each Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be
 
60 

 
deemed to utilize the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such participation.
 
(b)           Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuer shall notify the Company and the Agent thereof.  In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Company shall reimburse the Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Company shall have notified the Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse the Issuer in Dollars.  In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Issuer shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof.  Not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “ Honor Date ”), the Company shall reimburse the Issuer in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency; provided that, as to any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency and to be reimbursed in Dollars, if the Company does not receive notice of the amount in Dollars to be paid to the Issuer in respect of such Letter of Credit prior to 10:00 a.m. on such Honor Date, the Company shall (or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to) reimburse such Issuer not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following the date on which the Company receives such notice (and such reimbursement shall include interest for the period from the Honor Date to the date of reimbursement at the Base Rate (or such other rate as the Company and such Issuer shall agree) on the amount so reimbursed).  If the Company fails to so reimburse the Issuer by such time, the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “ Unreimbursed Amount ”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.03 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing).  Any notice given by the Issuer or the Agent pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)  may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing in accordance with Section 11.02 ; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
 
(c)           Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 3.03(b)  make available to the Agent (and the Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the relevant Issuer an amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Revolving Lenders shall (subject to Section 3.03(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan consisting of a Base Rate Loan to the Company in that amount.  If any Revolving Lender so notified fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the relevant Issuer the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of
 
61 

 
the amount of the drawing by no later than 12:00 noon (local time) on the Honor Date, then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, interest shall accrue on such Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Honor Date to the date such Revolving Lender makes such payment, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time during such period.  The Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Honor Date, but failure of the Agent to give any such notice on the Honor Date or in sufficient time to enable any Revolving Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Revolving Lender from its obligations under this Section 3.03 .
 
(d)           With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans to the Company in whole or in part, because of the Company’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such drawing, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin plus 2.0% per annum, and each Revolving Lender’s payment to such Issuer pursuant to Section 3.03(c)  shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 3.03 .
 
(e)           Each Revolving Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Loans or L/C Advances, as contemplated by this Section 3.03 , as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute and unconditional and without recourse to the applicable Issuer and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against such Issuer, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans under this Section 3.03 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 .
 
3.04         Repayment of Participations .  (a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuer of immediately available funds in Dollars from the Company (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by such Issuer under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Revolving Lender has paid the Agent for the account of such Issuer for such Revolving Lender’s participation in the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.03 or (ii) in payment of interest thereon, the Agent will promptly pay to each Revolving Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Agent for the account of such Issuer, the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such funds, and such Issuer shall receive the amount of the Revolving Percentage of such funds of any Revolving Lender that did not so pay the Agent for the account of such Issuer.
 
(b)           If the Agent or an Issuer is required at any time to return to the Company, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Company to the Agent for the account of such Issuer pursuant to Section 3.04(a)  in reimbursement of a payment made under the applicable Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Revolving Lender shall, on demand of the Agent, forthwith return to
 
62 

 
the Agent or such Issuer the amount of its Revolving Percentage of any amounts so returned by the Agent or such Issuer plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Revolving Lender to the Agent or such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.
 
3.05         Role of the Issuers .  (a) Each Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft and certificates expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.
 
(b)           No Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuers shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders (including the Required Revolving Lenders or all Revolving Lenders, as applicable); (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any L/C-Related Document.
 
(c)           The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  No Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i)  through (vi)  of Section 3.06 ; provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against an Issuer, and an Issuer may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by such Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, such Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit or such other actions or omissions as may be agreed between the Company and such Issuer (it being understood that any such claim shall be solely against the applicable Issuer and shall not affect the Company’s obligations hereunder to the other parties hereto).  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) any Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; and (ii) no Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
 
3.06         Obligations Absolute .  The obligations of the Company under this Agreement and any L/C-Related Document to reimburse the applicable Issuer for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any L/C Borrowing and any drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into Revolving Loans, shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such other L/C-Related Document under all circumstances, including the following:

(vi)          any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of the Company in respect of any Letter of Credit; or
 
(vii)         any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or a guarantor.
 
The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Company’s instructions or other irregularity, the Company will promptly notify the Issuer.

(a)           Upon the request of the Agent or the Issuer (i) if the Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the expiry date for any Letter of Credit, any L/C Obligation with respect to such Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding, the Company shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize (or, solely with respect to clause (ii) , provide other Backup Support) in the amount of the then outstanding amount of all L/C Obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly upon the request of the Agent, the Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or the Fronting Lender, the Company shall deliver to the Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 3.12(a)(iv)  and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
 
(b)           All Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Agent.  The Company, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, the Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest (subject to any Lien permitted pursuant to Section 8.01(c)  or (l) ) in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 3.11(c) .  If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim (subject to any Lien permitted pursuant to Section 8.01(c)  or (l) ) of any Person other than the Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Company or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Agent (which demand shall include a reasonably detailed accounting of the amount so demanded), pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Article III or Section 2.05 , 2.07 , 2.11 or 9.02 in respect of Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans or Fronted Offshore Currency Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, Fronted Offshore Currency Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
 
(d)           Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee
 
66 

 
following compliance with Section 11.07(a)(vii) )) or (ii) the Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or the Fronting Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
 
3.12                            Defaulting Lenders .
 
(a)                                   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
 
(i)            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 Section 11.01 .
 
(ii)           Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.09 ), shall be applied at such time or times as may be reasonably determined by the Agent as follows (and, in any case, when due): first , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second , to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Fronting Lender hereunder; third , if so determined by the Agent or requested by any Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Fronting Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan, Letter of Credit or Fronted Offshore Currency Loan; fourth , as the Company may request (so long as no Specified Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth , if so determined by the Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or any Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Fronting Lender as a result of any final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Fronting Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh , so long as no Specified Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth , to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment
 
67 

 
shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.12(a)(ii)  shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
 
(iii)          Such Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.14(b)  for any period during which such 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 such Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 3.08 .
 
(iv)          During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans or Fronted Offshore Currency Loans pursuant to this Article III , Section 2.05 and Section 2.07 , the “Revolving Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that (x) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists, and (y) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans and Fronted Offshore Currency Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans of such Lender.
 
(b)                                  The Agent agrees to promptly notify the Company upon any Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender (but the Agent shall have no liability for any failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice).  If the Company, the Agent, the Issuers, the Swing Line Lenders and the Fronting Lenders agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will promptly 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), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans and Fronted Offshore Currency Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Percentages (without giving effect to Section 3.12(a)(iv)  as to such Lender), 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 Company while such 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’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE IV
 
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
 
4.01         Taxes .  (a) Any and all payments by each Borrower to each Lender or the Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes.  In addition, each Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes.
 
(b)           If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Agent, then:
 
(i)            the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, receives and retains an amount equal to the sum it would have received and retained had no such deductions or withholdings been made;
 
(ii)           such Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings;
 
(iii)          such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law; and
 
(iv)          such Borrower shall also pay to each Lender or the Agent for the account of such Lender, at the time interest is paid, Further Taxes in the amount that such Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender would have received if such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes had not been imposed.
 
(c)           Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of (i) Taxes, (ii) Other Taxes, and (iii) Further Taxes in the amount that such Lender or the Agent, respectively, specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Lender would have received if such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes had not been imposed, and any liability (including penalties (except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or the Agent, respectively), interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date such Lender or the Agent makes written demand therefor.
 
(d)           Within 30 days after the date of any payment by any Borrower of Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes, such Borrower shall furnish to each applicable Lender or the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to such Lender or the Agent.
 
(e)           If such Borrower is required to pay any amount to any Lender or the Agent for the account of such Lender pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this Section, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by such Borrower which
 
69 

 
may thereafter accrue, if such change in the sole judgment of such Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
 
(f)            Each Lender shall, promptly upon request by the Company, deliver to the Company copies of all completed and executed forms reasonably deemed necessary by any Borrower in connection with the payment of amounts demanded by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing subsection (c) .
 
(g)           FATCA .  In addition, each Lender, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder and from time to time thereafter either upon the request of the Agent or their respective agents or upon expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered documentation, shall furnish the Agent with any documentation that is required under the Code or applicable Treasury regulations to enable the Borrowers or the Agent to determine their duties and liabilities  with respect to any Taxes they may be required to withhold in respect of Section 1471 or 1472 of the Code; provided that the furnishing of such documentation would not result in a material adverse consequence to such Lender. In the event that either (i) the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence fails to establish a complete exemption from withholding of amounts under Section 1471 and 1472 or (ii) no such required documentation is delivered, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to clause (b)(iv) , or to indemnify any Lender pursuant to clause (c) , in respect of any such withholding imposed under Sections 1471 or 1472.
 
4.02         Illegality .  (a) If any Lender determines that the introduction after the date hereof of any Requirement of Law, or any change after the date hereof in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest rate is determined by reference to the Offshore Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Offshore Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Company through the Agent, (i) any obligation of that Lender to make or continue Offshore Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Offshore Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Offshore Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Offshore Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, at which time such Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Company, and such Lender’s obligation to make Offshore Rate Loans shall be reinstated.
 
(b)           If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any Offshore Rate Loan, the applicable Borrower shall, upon the receipt by the Company of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), (x) prepay in full such Offshore Rate Loans of that Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under Section 4.04 , either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may
 
70 

 
not lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loan and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Offshore Rate, the Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Offshore Rate component thereof until the Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal  for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Offshore Rate, at which time such Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Company, and the Agent shall return to computing interest rates based upon the Offshore Rate for such Lender.  If a Borrower is required to so prepay any Offshore Rate Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Company (regardless of whether the Company is the initial Borrower) shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Offshore Rate component of the Base Rate).
 
(c)           If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Offshore Rate Loans has been so terminated or suspended, the Company may elect, by giving notice to the Lender through the Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made or maintained by the Lender as Offshore Rate Loans shall be instead made or maintained as Base Rate Loans.
 
(d)           Before giving any notice to the Agent under this Section, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its Offshore Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
 
4.03         Increased Costs and Reduction of Return .  (a) If any Lender determines in good faith that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the calculation of the Offshore Rate) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation made after the Effective Date or (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loans the interest on which is determined by reference to the Offshore Rate or participating in Letters of Credit or Fronted Offshore Currency Loans, as applicable, or any reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder, or, in the case of any Issuer, any increase in the cost to such Issuer of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any unpaid drawing under any Letter of Credit or any reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Issuer hereunder, then such Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, within 10 days after demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reduction.
 
(b)           If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation made after the Effective Date, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation made after the Effective Date, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof made after the Effective Date, or (iv)
 
71 

 
compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation made after the Effective Date, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, letters of credit, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within 10 days after demand of such Lender to the Company through the Agent, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase.
 
4.04         Funding Losses .  Each Borrower shall reimburse each Lender upon demand and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:
 
(a)           the failure of such Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of principal of any Offshore Rate Loan;
 
(b)           the failure of such Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after such Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation;
 
(c)           the failure of such Borrower to make any prepayment in accordance with any notice delivered under Section 2.10 ;
 
(d)           any continuation, conversion, prepayment (including pursuant to Section 2.11 ) or other payment (including after acceleration thereof or pursuant to Section 2.08(c) ) of an Offshore Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period;
 
(e)           any assignment of an Offshore Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the relevant Interest Period as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 4.07 ; or
 
(f)            the automatic conversion under Section 2.04 of any Offshore Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period;
 
including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Offshore Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section and under Section 4.03(a) , each Offshore Rate Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the Offshore Base Rate used in determining the Offshore Rate for such Offshore Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Offshore Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
 
4.05         Inability to Determine Rates .  If the Agent determines that for any reason that (a) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the offshore interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such
 
72 

 
Offshore Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Offshore Rate for an Applicable Currency for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Offshore Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Offshore Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.13(a) for an Applicable Currency for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Offshore Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the applicable Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each applicable Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Offshore Rate Loans hereunder in such Applicable Currency shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Offshore Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Offshore Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Agent revokes such notice in writing, at which time neither the obligation referred to in clause (x) nor the utilization referred to in clause (y) shall be suspended.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it or any other Borrower.  If the Company does not revoke such Notice, then the applicable Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Company, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Company, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of Offshore Rate Loans, as the case may be, and such Loans shall be assumed by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the Loans may initially have been made to a Subsidiary Borrower.  The Agent shall, promptly following its determination that the reason for any suspension under this Section no longer exists, deliver a notice of revocation of such suspension to the Company and each applicable Lender.
 
4.06         Certificates of Lenders .  Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Article IV shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Agent) contemporaneously with the demand for payment a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for, and a calculation of, the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
 
4.07         Substitution of Lenders.   Upon any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or upon the receipt by the Company from any Lender (together with any Defaulting Lender, an “ Affected Lender ”) of a claim for compensation under Section 4.03 , of notice that it cannot make or maintain Offshore Rate Loans under Section 4.02 , or of a claim for Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes under Section 4.01 , or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Company the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Agent, at the Company’s direction and at the sole cost and expense of the Company, shall: (i) request such Affected Lender to use good faith efforts to obtain a replacement bank or financial institution satisfactory to the Company to acquire and assume all or a ratable portion of all of such Affected Lender’s Loans and Commitments at the face amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts due to such Affected Lender with respect to such ratable portion (a “ Replacement Lender ”); (ii) request one more of the other applicable Lenders to acquire and assume all or part of such Affected Lender’s Loans and Commitments; or (iii) designate a Replacement Lender.  Any such designation of a Replacement Lender under clause (i) or (iii) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
 
73 

 
4.08         Survival .  The agreements and obligations of the Borrowers in this Article IV shall survive the payment of all other Obligations, and no Borrower will have an obligation to pay any amount hereunder unless a demand is made within 180 days after the date upon which the Agent’s or applicable Lender’s right to reimbursement arises.

(d)            If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction.  However, if the forms or other documentation required by subsection (a)  of this Section are not delivered to the Agent, then the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction.
 
(e)            If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the 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 was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs).  The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (b)  below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
 
116 

 
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01 , 4.03 , 4.04 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).  Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the Assignee.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (c)  below.
 
(b)            Register .  The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Agent’s Payment Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  In addition, the Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender .   The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
 
(c)            Participations .  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, any Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower) (each, a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans and/or Fronted Offshore Currency Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the applicable Borrower, the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (d)  below, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01 and 4.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.07(a) .  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participating interest under this clause (c)  shall, as agent of the Borrower solely for the purposes of this clause (c) , record in book entries maintained by such Lender the name and the
 
117 

 
amount of the participating interest of each Participant entitled to receive payments in respect of such participating interests.
 
(d)            Limitations upon Participant Rights .  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.01 or 4.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the applicable Borrower’s prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.01 unless the applicable Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of such Borrower, to comply with Section 10.11 as though it were a Lender.

(b)            Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Company waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.  The Company assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the Company assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to advise the Company of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.
 
12.09       Nature of Liability .  It is the desire and intent of the Company and the Guaranteed Creditors that this Guaranty shall be enforced against the Company to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement
 
128 

 
is sought.  If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of the Company under this Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to be reduced and the Company shall pay the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible under applicable law.

respect of customer contracts shall equal 50% of the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate set forth above.
 
After the six-month period immediately following the Effective Date, the applicable Level shall be adjusted, to the extent applicable, 45 days (or, in the case of the last fiscal quarter of any fiscal year, 105 days) after the end of each fiscal quarter based on the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal quarter; provided that if the Company fails to deliver the financial statements required by Section 7.01(a)  or (b) , as applicable, and the related certificate required by Section 7.02(b)  by the 45th day (or, if applicable, the 105th day) after any fiscal quarter, Level I shall apply until such financial statements are delivered.
 
If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Company or for any other reason, the Lenders determine that (a) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Company as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (b) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in different pricing for any period, then (i) if the proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Company shall automatically and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Agent for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, promptly following demand by the Agent (accompanied by supporting materials (which may be in the form of financial statements prepared by the Company or the Independent Auditor)), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period; and (ii) if the proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in lower pricing for such period, the applicable Lenders shall have no obligation to repay any interest or fees to the Company; provided that if, as a result of any restatement or other event a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for one or more periods and lower pricing for one or more other periods (due to the shifting of income or expenses from one period to another period or any similar reason), then the amount payable by the Company pursuant to clause (i)  above shall be based upon the excess, if any, of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for all applicable periods over the amount of interest and fees paid for all such periods.

SCHEDULE 2.22
 
AUCTION PROCEDURES
 
This Schedule is intended to summarize certain basic terms of the reverse Dutch auction procedures pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.22 of the Credit Agreement, of which this Schedule is a part. It is not intended to be a definitive statement of all of the terms and conditions of a reverse Dutch auction, the definitive terms and conditions for which shall be set forth in the applicable offering document. None of the Agent, the Auction Manager or any other Agent-Related Person, or any of their respective affiliates makes any recommendation pursuant to any offering document as to whether or not any Term Lender should sell its Add-On Term Loans to the Company pursuant to any offering documents, nor shall the decision by the Agent, the Auction Manager or any other Agent-Related Person (or any of their affiliates) in its respective capacity as a Term Lender to sell its Add-On Term Loans to the Company be deemed to constitute such a recommendation. Each Term Lender should make its own decision on whether to sell any of its Add-On Term Loans and, if it decides to do so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Add-On Term Loans. In addition, each Term Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning each Auction and the relevant offering documents.
 
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Schedule have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.
 
(a)                                   Notice Procedures .  In connection with each Auction, the Company will provide notification to the Auction Manager (for distribution to the Term Lenders holding the applicable Add-On Term Loans that will be the subject of such Auction (each, an “ Auction Notice ”). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of the Add-On Term Loans that the Company offers to purchase in such Auction (the “ Auction Amount ”), which shall be no less than $50,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Agent); (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “ Discount Range ”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000 (in increments of $5), at which the Company would be willing to purchase Add-On Term Loans in such Auction; and (iii) the date on which such Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due by 1:00 p.m. (as such date and time may be extended by the Auction Manager at the request of the Company, such time the “ Expiration Time ”).  Such Expiration Time may be extended for a period not exceeding three (3) Business Days upon notice by the Company to the Auction Manager received not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time; provided , that only one extension per offer shall be permitted. An Auction shall be regarded as a “failed auction” in the event that either (i) the Company withdraws such Auction in accordance with the terms hereof or (ii) the Expiration Time occurs with no Qualifying Bids (as defined below) having been received.  In the event of a failed auction, the Company shall not be permitted to deliver a new Auction Notice prior to the date occurring three (3) Business Days after such withdrawal or Expiration Time, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not initiate any Auction by delivering an Auction Notice to the Auction Manager until after the conclusion (whether successful or failed) of the previous Auction (if any), whether such conclusion occurs by withdrawal of such previous Auction or the occurrence of the Expiration Time of such previous Auction.

 
(b)                                  Reply Procedures .  In connection with any Auction, each Term Lender wishing to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation, in the form included in the respective offering document (each, a “ Return Bid ”) which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 (in increments of $5) in principal amount of the applicable Add-On Term Loans (the “ Reply Price ”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of such Add-On Term Loans, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, that such Term Lender offers for sale at its Reply Price (the “ Reply Amount ”). A Term Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount comprises the entire amount of the applicable Add-On Term Loans held by such Term Lender.  Term Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction but each Return Bid may contain up to three (3) component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Term Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid.  In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Term Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an assignment and acceptance in the form included in the offering document (each, an “ Auction Assignment and Assumption ”). The Company will not purchase any Add-On Term Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price.
 
(c)                                   Acceptance Procedures .  Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Company, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “ Applicable Threshold Price ”) for such Auction within the Discount Range for such Auction that will allow the Company to complete the Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Add-On Term Loans for which the Company has received Qualifying Bids). The Company shall purchase the applicable Add-On Term Loans from each Term Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “ Qualifying Bid ”). All applicable Add-On Term Loans included in Qualifying Bids (including multiple component Qualifying Bids contained in a single Return Bid) received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at such applicable Reply Prices and shall not be subject to proration.
 
(d)                                  Proration Procedures .  All Add-On Term Loans offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids at the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at the Applicable Threshold Price; provided that if the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all applicable Add-On Term Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Auction at the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all applicable Add-On Term Loans to be purchased at prices below the Applicable Threshold Price), the Company shall purchase the Add-On Term Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount.  No Return Bids or any component thereof will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.

 
(e)                                   Notification Procedures .  The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price and post the Applicable Threshold Price and proration factor onto an internet or intranet site (including IntraLinks or another electronic workspace) in accordance with the Auction Manager’s standard dissemination practices by 3:00 p.m. (local time) on the same Business Day as the date the Return Bids were due (as such due date may be extended in accordance with this Schedule).  The Auction Manager will insert the principal amount of the applicable Add-On Term Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date into each applicable Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.  Upon the request of the submitting Term Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.
 
(f)                                     Auction Assignment and Assumption .  Each Auction Notice and Auction Assignment and Assumption shall contain the following representations and warranties by the Company:
 
“ No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from this Auction.
 
As of the date hereof, except as previously disclosed in writing to the Agent and the Lenders, the Company represents and warrants that no Loan Party, has any MNPI that both (a) has not been disclosed to the Agent and the Lenders (other than because any such Lender does not wish to receive such MNPI) prior to such time and (b) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, such Lender’s decision to participate in the Auction. ”
 
(g)                                  Additional Procedures .  Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Company may withdraw an Auction only in the event that, as of such time, no Qualifying Bid has been received by the Auction Manager or the Company has failed, or in good faith believes it will fail, to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 2.22 of the Credit Agreement which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of the Add-On Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction with respect to particular Add-On Term Loans, upon submission by a Term Lender of a Return Bid, such Term Lender will not have any withdrawal rights.  Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled by a Term Lender. However, an Auction may become void if the conditions to the purchase of the applicable Add-On Term Loans by the Company required by the terms and conditions of Section 2.22 of the Credit Agreement are not met.  The purchase price in respect of each Qualifying Bid for which purchase by the Company is required in accordance with the foregoing provisions shall be paid directly by the Company to the respective assigning Term Lender on a settlement date as determined jointly by the Company and the Auction Manager (which shall be not later than ten (10) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due). The Company shall execute each applicable Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.  All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Add-On Term Loans that are the subject of an Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Company, and their determination will be final and binding so long as such determination is not inconsistent with the terms of

 
Section 2.22 of the Credit Agreement or this Schedule. The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the offering document, in consultation with the Company, will be final and binding so long as such interpretation is not inconsistent with the terms of Section 2.22 of the Credit Agreement or this Schedule.  None of the Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent-Related Person or any of their respective affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Company, the other Loan Parties, or any of their affiliates (whether contained in an offering document or otherwise) or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information.
 
This Schedule shall not require the Company to initiate any Auction.

Environmental Matters
 
1.      Oshkosh Corporation (the “Company”), South Side of Oshkosh Regional Trichloroethylene (TCE) Groundwater Contamination Issue at North Plant Facility, Oshkosh, WI:
The Company conducted a soil and groundwater contamination study in the area of its North Plant facility in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, which includes the investigation of a regional trichloroethylene (TCE) groundwater plume.  In November 1991, TCE was detected above the maximum contamination level in leaking underground storage tank monitoring wells located on a neighboring property to the east of the Company’s South Plant.  As a result, the WDNR asked the Company and other potentially responsible parties (PRPs) in the area to conduct soil and groundwater testing.  The Company has conducted soil and groundwater testing at its facilities in cooperation with the WDNR.  Other cooperating property owners in the area have also conducted tests.  Based on the results of these tests, the Company believes there may be multiple sources in the area.
 
The Company’s South Plant Complex was removed from the WDNR’s list of PRPs based on a comprehensive soil and groundwater investigation.  Some non-TCE soil contamination was discovered as a result of the study and was subsequently remediated. The WDNR-approved remediation project has since been closed.
 
The study at the North Plant showed the highest concentrations of TCE were in a monitoring well and soil boring located near the west property line that is upgradient from the North Plant facility.  TCE also was detected off of the Company’s property at the Airport Property, which is regionally upgradient from the North Plant, and also at distant side-gradient locations.  Based on conversations between the Company and the WDNR, the Company conducted a soil and groundwater study of the Airport Property west of the Canadian National’s spur property that abuts the edge of the Company’s North Plant. TCE was detected in the groundwater above the WDNR enforcement standard at the Airport Property.  Based on the results of the study, it appears that there is a TCE source on the Airport Property.  Because the groundwater flow system in this area is complex due to the weathered and fractured bedrock, and because off-site TCE sources unrelated to the Company have been confirmed, the Company recommended to the WDNR that it coordinate a regional investigation of the groundwater flow direction and quality to address the regional scope of the issue.  It should be noted that the City of Oshkosh obtains its water supply from Lake Winnebago versus groundwater wells.
 
Based on the soil and groundwater studies conducted at the North Plant and at the Airport Property, the Company submitted a case closure request via the WDNR’s GIS Registry.  The GIS Registry is a computer tool available on the Internet used to store information on closed sites and make if available to the public and WDNR staff.  On July 13, 2009, the WDNR issued a case closure letter to the Company.  The case closure is subject to certain site conditions being met associated with the residual soil TCE contamination that remains on site and the groundwater impacted by TCE contamination.  Additionally, the WDNR has stated that they will continue to investigate the phantom chlorinated (TCE) solvent contamination in the groundwater in this area of Oshkosh to locate the source(s).  As such, this case is subject to being reopened by the WDNR.

 
As of June 30, 2010, the Company has an environmental reserve of $1,240,077 related to this matter to cover future potential costs should the WDNR reopen the case.  The Company has put its current and former insurance carriers on notice of a potential claim.  With the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision in Johnson Controls v. Employers Ins. of Wausau et al., 665 N.W. 2d 463 (2003), the Company, with the assistance of outside legal counsel, has prepared and submitted an insurance claim to Nationwide Insurance/Wausau Insurance Companies for past costs incurred with this project.  The Company and Nationwide/Wausau Insurance are currently discussing issues associated with our claim.
 
2.        Oshkosh Corporation, Former Town of Algoma Landfill - Regional Trichloroethylene (TCE) Groundwater Contamination Issue, Oshkosh, WI:
 
In 1972, the Company acquired the former Town of Algoma Landfill, located between the Company’s North and South Plants, after it had been abandoned.  The subject property is approximately 3.5 acres in size and was believed to be used for the disposal of household waste only.  As part of the TCE groundwater investigation (see Item #1 above), the WDNR named the Town of Algoma, a registered Wisconsin municipality, a PRP and requested it or the Company investigate the landfill’s groundwater quality.  The Company also put the Town of Algoma on notice of its liability.  After discussions with the Town of Algoma, the Company proceeded alone in a groundwater quality study of the landfill.  TCE compounds were detected, but when compared to the regional TCE concentrations in the groundwater it is believed they do not indicate a release from the landfill.  To confirm this, the WDNR requested that the Company install one additional groundwater monitoring well next to the fill area.  The Company installed the additional monitoring well and the analytical test results support the position that the landfill is not a source of the TCE contamination.  The WDNR has agreed with this position and has since closed out the case related to the TCE.
 
In the future, the WDNR may request the Company to address the former landfill under the WDNR’s landfill rules.  As such, as of June 30, 2010, the Company has an environmental reserve of $100,655 related to future potential work at the former the landfill.
The Company has put its current and former insurance carriers on notice of a potential claim.  With the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision in Johnson Controls v. Employers Ins. of Wausau et al., 665 N.W. 2d 463 (2003), the Company, with the assistance of outside legal counsel, has prepared and submitted an insurance claim to Nationwide Insurance/Wausau Insurance Companies for past costs incurred with this project.  The Company and Nationwide/Wausau Insurance are currently discussing issues associated with our claim.
 
3.      JLG Industries, Inc., New Philadelphia, OH:
 
JLG Industries, Inc. (“JLG”) previously owned real property in New Philadelphia, Ohio with respect to which two separate events took place that could require cleanup under applicable Environmental Laws.  Both such events took place prior to the date that JLG acquired the real property by means of a merger.  The first event related to a groundwater plume that was contaminated by a release or spill that, to JLG’s knowledge, occurred on a separate piece of real property (not owned or operated by JLG or the Seller) and migrated under the real property previously owned by JLG.  The second event related to releases of chromium on the real property previously owned by JLG; with respect to which mitigation and remedial actions were undertaken by JLG, prior to JLG’s sale of the real property.  The remedial actions were, to JLG’s knowledge, consistent with the then-publicly available information pertaining to the Voluntary Action Program adopted by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.  The real property was sold to NP Real Estate Inc., a subsidiary of the Alamo Group, on February 3, 2006.  As part of the

 
property transaction agreement, JLG agreed to provide indemnity in respect of certain environmental matters, subject to limitations on JLG’s indemnification obligations as set forth in that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, among JLG, certain of its Subsidiaries, Alamo Group (OH), Inc., NP Real Estate Inc. and Alamo Group Inc.  The indemnity is for a 6-year period commencing on February 3, 2006 with a cap of $10 million and a $1.9 million deductible.
 
4.      JLG Industries, Inc., Tonneins, France
 
JLG France SAS (“JLG France”) manufactures aerial work platforms and telescopic material handlers at two locations in Tonneins, France, identified as Delta 1 and Delta 2.  JLG France owns Delta 1 and leases Delta 2.   JLG France plans to consolidate its Tonneins manufacturing into the Delta 2 site and to sell the Delta 1 property.  In July of 2010, JLG France commissioned a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment on the Delta 1 property.  The soil and groundwater test results show low level impacts of hydrocarbon and metals due to activity that occurred prior to JLG France’s acquisition of the property.  JLG France’s environmental consultant has estimated the cost to remediate the site to be less than $100,000.  JLG France is currently evaluating the remediation options.

Dated as of September 27, 2010
 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED and in consideration of any loan or other financial accommodation heretofore or hereafter at any time made or granted to OSHKOSH CORPORATION, a Wisconsin corporation (the “ Company ”), the undersigned (each a “ Guarantor ” and, together with such other Persons which become Guarantors by executing a joinder agreement in the form of Exhibit A hereto, collectively the “ Guarantors ”) hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all “Obligations” (including obligations which, but for the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar proceeding under applicable law, would become due) under and as defined in the Credit Agreement dated as of September 27, 2010 among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “ Lenders ”) and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “ Agent ”) (as restated, amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Credit Agreement ”; any term used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Credit Agreement) (all such obligations being hereinafter collectively called the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”), and the Guarantors further agree to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by any holder of any Guaranteed Obligation (each, a “ Creditor ”) in endeavoring to collect the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, and in enforcing any of its rights under this Subsidiary Guaranty; provided that each Guarantor shall only be liable under this Subsidiary Guaranty for the maximum amount of such liability that can be incurred without rendering this Subsidiary Guaranty, as it relates to such Guarantor, void or voidable under any applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount.  This Subsidiary Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection, and the Guarantors specifically agree that it shall not be necessary or required that any Creditor exercise any right, assert any claim or demand, or enforce any remedy whatsoever against the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person before or as a condition to the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.
 
The Guarantors agree that, if any event specified in Section 9.01(f) or (g) of the Credit Agreement occurs with respect to the Company or any Guarantor, and if such event shall occur at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations may not then be due and payable, the Guarantors will promptly pay to the relevant Creditor the full amount that would be payable hereunder by the Guarantors if all Guaranteed Obligations were then due and payable.

 
In addition to any rights and remedies of the Creditors provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been accelerated, each Creditor is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Guarantor, any such notice being waived by each Guarantor to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Creditor to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against any and all Guaranteed Obligations owing to such Creditor, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such other Creditor shall have made demand under this Subsidiary Guaranty and although such Guaranteed Obligations may be contingent or unmatured.  By accepting the benefits hereof, each Creditor agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Creditor; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
 
This Subsidiary Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty, and shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding, without limitation, the dissolution, release or insolvency of any Guarantor or that at any time or from time to time all Guaranteed Obligations that had been outstanding may have been paid in full), subject to discontinuance as to any Guarantor only upon execution by the Agent of a written notice, delivered in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, acknowledging the termination of all obligations of such Guarantor arising hereunder.
 
The Guarantors further agree that, if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Creditor to any of the Guaranteed Obligations is or must be rescinded or returned by such Creditor for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor), such Guaranteed Obligations shall, for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guaranty, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by such Creditor, and this Subsidiary Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Guaranteed Obligations, all as though such application by such Creditor had not been made.
 
Any Creditor may, from time to time, whether before or after any discontinuance of this Subsidiary Guaranty, at its sole discretion and without notice to the Guarantors (or any of them), take any or all of the following actions: (a) retain or obtain a security interest in any property of any third party to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligation hereunder; (b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors, in addition to the Guarantors, with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter, amend or exchange any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any of the documentation pertaining thereto, or release or compromise any obligation of any Guarantor hereunder or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for, all or any part of any property securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligation hereunder, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such property; and (e) resort to any Guarantor for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not such Creditor (i) shall have resorted to any property securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations

 
or any obligation hereunder or (ii) shall have proceeded against any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations (all of the actions referred to in the preceding clauses (i)  and (ii)  being hereby expressly waived by the Guarantors).
 
The creation or existence from time to time of additional Guaranteed Obligations is hereby authorized, without notice to the Guarantors (or any of them), and shall in no way affect or impair the rights of the Agent or any other Creditor or the obligations of the Guarantors under this Subsidiary Guaranty.
 
Any amount received by a Creditor from whatsoever source on account of the Guaranteed Obligations may be applied by it toward the payment of such of the Guaranteed Obligations, and in such order of application, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
 
Until such time as this Subsidiary Guaranty shall have been terminated in respect of all Guarantors, no payment made by or for the account of any Guarantor pursuant to this Subsidiary Guaranty shall entitle such Guarantor by subrogation or otherwise to any payment by the Company or from or out of any property of the Company, and such Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy against the Company or any property of the Company by reason of any performance by such Guarantor of this Subsidiary Guaranty.
 
The Guarantors hereby expressly waive: (a) notice of the acceptance by any Creditor of this Subsidiary Guaranty, (b) notice of the existence or creation or nonpayment of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices whatsoever, and (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Guaranteed Obligations or any thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for or guaranty of any of the foregoing.
 
Until the irrevocable payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Guaranteed Obligations under the relevant agreement with a Creditor which expressly survive the termination of such agreement and are not then due and payable) and termination of the Commitments, (a) each Guarantor waives any right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution (contractual, statutory or otherwise), including any claim or right of subrogation under the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute, against the Company arising from the existence or performance of this Subsidiary Guaranty and (b) each Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which any Creditor now has or may hereafter have against the Company, and waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by a Creditor securing the Guaranteed Obligations.  Upon such irrevocable payment and termination, the Company shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of any payment made by such Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guaranty and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment.  By its acceptance hereof, the Agent agrees that it will, promptly upon request by the Company (which request shall be accompanied by any documentation the Agent may reasonably request to confirm that any applicable conditions to the Agent’s acting upon such request have been satisfied (on which documentation the Agent may conclusively rely absent written notice to the contrary)), release any of the undersigned from its obligations hereunder if, after giving effect to such release, no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom.

 
Each Guarantor (a “ Contributing Guarantor ”) agrees that, if a payment is made by any other Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guaranty and such other Guarantor (the “ Claiming Guarantor ”) has not been fully indemnified by the Company as provided in the paragraph above, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Guarantor as of the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on such date.  Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this section shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Guarantor to the extent of such payment.  All rights of contribution and subrogation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be fully subordinated in time and priority of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other indebtedness of the Company to each the Creditors.
 
Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Creditor may, from time to time, whether before or after any discontinuance of this Subsidiary Guaranty, without notice to the Guarantors (or any of them), assign or transfer any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Guaranteed Obligations shall be and remain Guaranteed Obligations for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guaranty, and each and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in the Guaranteed Obligations, be entitled to the benefits of this Subsidiary Guaranty to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were a Creditor.
 
Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and the other Creditors that:
 
(a)           such Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent applicable to such entity, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and is licensed and in good standing as a foreign entity under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license, if applicable to such Guarantor, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
 
(b)           such Guarantor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Subsidiary Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder;
 
(c)           the execution and delivery by such Guarantor of this Subsidiary Guaranty and the performance of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action, and this Subsidiary Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability; and
 
(d)           neither the execution and delivery by such Guarantor of this Subsidiary Guaranty nor the compliance by such Guarantor with the provisions of this Subsidiary Guaranty will (i) contravene the terms of such Guarantor’s Organization Documents, (ii)

 
conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, any document evidencing any material Contractual Obligation to which such Guarantor is a party or any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which such Guarantor or its property is subject or (iii) violate any Requirement of Law.
 
It is understood that while the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby is not limited, if in any action or proceeding involving any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, this Subsidiary Guaranty would be held to be void, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of the aggregate liability under this Subsidiary Guaranty with respect to one or more of the Guarantors, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Subsidiary Guaranty to the contrary, the aggregate amount of such liability shall, with respect to any such Guarantor, without any further action of the Agent, the other Creditors or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced with respect to any such Guarantor to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding.
 
Each Guarantor hereby warrants to each Creditor that such Guarantor now has and will continue to have independent means of obtaining information concerning the affairs, financial condition and business of the Company.  No Creditor shall have any duty or responsibility to provide the Guarantors with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Company that may come into the possession of such Creditor.
 
No delay on the part of any Creditor in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by any Creditor of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Subsidiary Guaranty be binding upon any Creditor except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered (or consented to) by or on behalf of each Guarantor and the Agent (on behalf of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement).  No action of any Creditor permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the rights of any Creditor and the obligations of the Guarantors under this Subsidiary Guaranty.  For the purposes of this Subsidiary Guaranty, the Guaranteed Obligations shall include all obligations of the Company to the Creditors arising under or in connection with the agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, notwithstanding any right or power of the Company or anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such Guaranteed Obligation, and no such claim or defense shall affect or impair the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder.  The obligations of the Guarantors under this Subsidiary Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of any circumstance whatsoever that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantors.  The Guarantors hereby acknowledge that there are no conditions to the effectiveness of this Subsidiary Guaranty.
 
Each other Subsidiary that is required to become party to this Agreement shall become a Guarantor hereunder upon the execution of a joinder agreement in the form of Exhibit A hereto and delivery thereof to the Agent.

 
This Subsidiary Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantors and upon the legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Guarantors; and all references herein to the Company and to the Guarantors, respectively, shall be deemed to include any successor or successors, whether immediate or remote, to such entities.  All obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be joint and several.  This Subsidiary Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and each other Creditor and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
 
All notices to the Guarantors shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement to the address listed on Schedule I hereto.
 
THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF).  WHEREVER POSSIBLE EACH PROVISION OF THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH MANNER AS TO BE EFFECTIVE AND VALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BUT IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY SHALL BE PROHIBITED BY OR INVALID UNDER SUCH LAW, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH PROHIBITION OR INVALIDITY, WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINDER OF SUCH PROVISION OR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY.
 
EACH GUARANTOR AND BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, EACH CREDITOR, HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR THAT MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

(i)            Representations and Warranties .  Each Pledgor represents and warrants to the Agent and each other Guaranteed Creditor, with respect to its Pledged Collateral, that:
 
(a)           such Pledgor is, and at the time of delivery of the Pledged Collateral to the Agent pursuant to Section 4 will be, the sole holder of record and the sole beneficial owner of the Pledged Collateral pledged by it free and clear of any Lien thereon or affecting the title thereto, except for any Lien created by this Agreement;
 
(b)           all of the Pledged Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable (except as provided by law);
 
(c)           each Pledged Note has been duly authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered by, and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of, the issuer thereof (except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability), and such issuer is not in default thereunder;
 
(d)           none of the Pledged Shares or Pledged Notes has been issued or transferred in violation of the securities registration, securities disclosure or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be subject;
 
(e)           except as noted on Schedule I , all of the Pledged Shares are presently owned by such Pledgor, and are presently represented by the stock certificates listed opposite such Pledgor’s name on Schedule I , and there are no existing options, warrants, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to the Pledged Shares;
 
(f)            no consent, approval, authorization or other order of any Person and no consent, authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the exercise by the Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, except as may be required with respect to the Acces Bonds or in connection with such disposition by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally;
 
(g)           the Pledged Shares of each Material Domestic Subsidiary that is a Pledged Entity constitute 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of such Subsidiary owned by such Pledgor (except as otherwise permitted in the Credit Agreement), and the Pledged Shares of each Material Foreign Subsidiary that is a Pledged Entity constitute not less than 65% (or such lesser percentage as the Agent has agreed to prevent material adverse tax consequences to the Company) of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of such Subsidiary owned by such Pledgor (except as otherwise permitted in the Credit Agreement); and

 
(h)           assuming the Agent has possession of the original certificates (if any) evidencing the Pledged Shares and the original Pledged Notes, the pledge, assignment and delivery of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid, continuing, first perfected Lien on the Pledged Collateral in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, subject to no prior Lien of any other Person, and no further actions or procedures are required to maintain such first perfected Lien status.
 
The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
 
(j)            Covenants .  From the date of this Agreement, and thereafter until this Agreement is terminated, each Pledgor:
 
·               will defend the title to the Pledged Collateral and the Liens of the Agent on the Pledged Collateral against the claim of any Person and will maintain and preserve such title and Liens; and
 
·               will, upon obtaining any additional shares of stock of a Pledged Entity or, subject to the proviso in Section 4 , promissory notes or instruments, which shares, notes or instruments are not already Pledged Collateral, promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days deliver to the Agent a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by such Pledgor, in substantially the form of Schedule II hereto (a “ Pledge Amendment ”)) in respect of any such additional shares pledging to the Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, all of such additional shares, notes or instruments.  Each Pledgor hereby consents to any and all such amendments, authorizes the Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all Pledged Shares and/or Pledged Notes listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to the Agent shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Pledged Collateral.
 
(k)           Pledgor’s Rights .  As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and until written notice shall be given to the Pledgors in accordance with Section 8(a) :
 
(a)           each Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to its Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith; provided that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the effect of impairing the position or interest of the Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor in respect of the Pledged Collateral or which would authorize or effect (except as and to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents): (i) the dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of a Pledged Entity; (ii) the consolidation or merger of a Pledged Entity with any other Person; (iii) the sale, disposition or encumbrance of all or substantially all of the assets of a Pledged Entity, except for Liens in favor of the Agent; (iv) any change in the authorized number of shares, the stated capital or the authorized share capital of a Pledged Entity or

 
the issuance of any additional shares of its stock; or (v) the alteration of the voting rights with respect to the stock of a Pledged Entity; and
 
(b)           (1)       each Pledgor shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends, principal and interest paid in respect of its Pledged Collateral to the extent not in violation of any Loan Document, other than: (A) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution; and (B) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed, in connection with the redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral; provided that until actually paid all rights to such distributions shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Agreement; and
 
(2)           all dividends, principal, interest and other distributions (other than (x) cash dividends, principal and interest permitted to be paid to the applicable Pledgor in accordance with clause (i)  above and (y) capitalized interest on any Pledged Note) in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to the Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by a Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
 
(l)            Defaults and Remedies .  (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Illinois or otherwise available to it.  Without limiting the foregoing, on or at any time after the declaration of an Event of Default by the Agent (provided that such declaration is not rescinded in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) and upon written notice to the Pledgors, the Agent (personally or through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered (subject to instructions agreeable to the Guaranteed Creditors) to transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Shares for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a stockholder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest and principal and other distributions made thereon, to sell in one or more sales after 10 days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale is to take place (which notice each Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable) the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Agent were the outright owner thereof, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Agent as the proxy and attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so, and which shall remain in effect until the Secured Obligations are paid in full in cash; provided that the Agent shall not have any duty to exercise any such right or to preserve the same and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or for any delay in doing so.  Any sale shall be made at a public or private sale at the Agent’s place of business, or at any place to be named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery at such price as the Agent may deem fair, and the Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of any

 
Pledgor or any right of redemption.  Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but the Agent reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale which, in its discretion, it shall deem inadequate.  Demands of performance, except as otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of the Agent.
 
(b)           If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, (i) the highest bid, if there is only one sale, is inadequate to discharge in full all the Secured Obligations, or (ii) if the Pledged Collateral is offered for sale in lots, if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale, would indicate to the Agent, in its discretion, the unlikelihood of the proceeds of the sales of the whole of the Pledged Collateral being sufficient to discharge all the Secured Obligations, the Agent may, on one or more occasions and in its discretion, postpone any of such sales by public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given, any other notice being hereby waived; provided that any sale made after such postponement shall be after 10 days’ notice to the applicable Pledgor.
 
(c)           The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall be distributed by the Agent in accordance with Section 9 of the Security Agreement, and the Pledgors shall remain liable for any deficiency as set forth therein.
 
(d)           If, at any time when the Agent in its sole discretion determines, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, that, in connection with any actual or contemplated exercise of its rights (when permitted under this Section 8 ), to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, it is necessary or advisable to effect a public registration of all or part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar statute then in effect) (the “ Act ”), the applicable Pledgor shall, in an expeditious manner, cause the applicable Pledged Entities to:
 
(1)           prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Pledged Collateral and in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective;
 
(2)           prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral covered by such registration statement whenever the Agent shall desire to sell or otherwise dispose of such Pledged Collateral;
 
(3)           furnish to the Agent such numbers of copies of a prospectus and a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as the Agent may request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of such Pledged Collateral by the Agent;

 
(4)           use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Pledged Collateral covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as the Agent shall request, and do such other reasonable acts and things as may be required of it to enable the Agent to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdictions of such Pledged Collateral by the Agent;
 
(5)           furnish, at the request of the Agent, on the date that any Pledged Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration or, if the security is not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such Pledged Shares becomes effective: (A) an opinion, dated such date, of the independent counsel representing such registrant for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and in the event such Pledged Collateral is not being sold through underwriters, then to the Agent, in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in such legal opinions; and (B) a comfort letter, dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of such registrant, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and in the event such Pledged Collateral is not being sold through underwriters, then to the Agent, in a customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered by such comfort letters and as the underwriters or the Agent shall reasonably request.  The opinion of counsel referred to above shall additionally cover such other legal matters with respect to the registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Agent may reasonably request.  The letter referred to above from the independent certified public accountants shall additionally cover such other financial matters (including information as to the period ending not more than five Business Days prior to the date of such letter) with respect to the registration in respect of which such letter is being given as the Agent may reasonably request; and
 
(6)           otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable but not later than 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement, an earnings statement covering the period of at least 12 months beginning with the first full month after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act.
 
(e)           All expenses incurred in complying with Section 8(d) , including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees (including all expenses incident to filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.), printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the registrant, the fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent, expenses of the independent certified public accountants (including any special audits incident to or required by any such registration) and expenses of complying with the securities or blue sky laws or any jurisdiction, shall be paid by the applicable Pledgor.
 
(f)            If, at any time when the Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, such Pledged Collateral or the

 
part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Act, the Agent may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Agent may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 8 , and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event, the Agent in its discretion (x) may, in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Act (or similar statute), (y) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (z) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who is an accredited investor under the Act and who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or part thereof.  In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 8 , if any of the Pledged Collateral is not freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act (or similar statute) at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 8 , then the Agent shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions: (i) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale; (ii) as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Pledged Collateral sold in such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof; (iii) as to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person’s access to financial information about the applicable Pledgor and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of the Pledged Collateral so sold for investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and (iv) as to such other matters as the Agent may, in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.
 
(g)           Each Pledgor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (f)  above.  Each Pledgor also acknowledges that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the registrant to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Pledgor would agree to do so.
 
(h)           Each Pledgor agrees to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default it will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or

 
delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and each Pledgor waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so.  Each Pledgor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Agent provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.  No failure or delay on the part of the Agent to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon any Pledgor by the Agent with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Agent’s right to take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice its rights as against any Pledgor in any respect.
 
(i)            Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8 will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors, that the Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors shall have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable against each Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and payable in accordance with the agreements and instruments governing and evidencing such obligations.
 
(m)          Waiver .  No delay on the Agent’s or any other Guaranteed Creditor’s part in exercising any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon any Pledgor by the Agent or another Guaranteed Creditor with respect to any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Agent’s or any other Guaranteed Creditor’s right to take any action or to exercise any power of sale, Lien, option, or any other right hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice the Agent’s or any other Guaranteed Creditor’s rights as against any Pledgor in any respect.  No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing signed and delivered by the Agent and the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement, all Lenders).  Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by any Pledgor from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
 
(n)           Assignment .  The Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors may assign, indorse or transfer any instrument evidencing all or any part of the Secured Obligations as provided in, and in accordance with, the applicable Loan Document and the holder of such instrument shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.
 
(o)           Termination; Release of Collateral .
 
(a) This Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations or commitments therefor outstanding)

 
until the payment in full of the Secured Obligations and the termination of the Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms, at which time the security interests granted hereby shall terminate and any and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the applicable Pledgor.  Upon such termination, the Agent shall promptly return to the applicable Pledgor, at such Pledgor’s expense, such of the Pledged Collateral held by the Agent as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof.  The Agent will promptly execute and deliver to the applicable Pledgor such other documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
 
(b)                                  The Agent will, promptly upon request of any Pledgor (which request shall be accompanied by any documentation the Agent may reasonably request to confirm that any applicable conditions to the Agent’s acting upon such request have been satisfied (on which documentation the Agent may conclusively rely absent written notice to the contrary)), release its security interest in any Pledged Collateral (i) that is disposed of by such Pledgor as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted under the Credit Agreement or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, representing equity interests of a Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Borrower) that has ceased to be a Material Domestic Subsidiary or a Material Foreign Subsidiary, as the case may be.
 
(p)                                  Lien Absolute .  All rights of the Agent hereunder, and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
 
(a)                                  any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any other document executed in connection with any Loan Document                                or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;
 
(b)                                  any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;
 
(c)                                   any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations; or
 
(d)                                  any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor.
 
(q)                                  Release .  Each Pledgor consents and agrees that the Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors may at any time, or from time to time, in their discretion (a) renew, extend or change the time of payment, and/or the manner, place or terms of payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations and (b) exchange, release and/or surrender all or any of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, by whomsoever deposited, which is now or may hereafter be held by the Agent in connection with all or any of the Secured Obligations; all in such manner and upon such terms as the Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from any Pledgor, it being hereby agreed that each Pledgor shall be

 
and remain bound upon this Agreement, irrespective of the value or condition of any of the Pledged Collateral, and notwithstanding any such change, exchange, settlement, compromise, surrender, release, renewal or extension, and notwithstanding also that the Secured Obligations may, at any time, exceed the aggregate principal amount thereof set forth in the relevant Loan Document or any other agreement governing any Secured Obligations.  Each Pledgor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement, and also presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor of any and all of the Secured Obligations, and promptness in commencing suit against any party hereto or liable hereon, and in giving any notice to or of making any claim or demand hereunder upon any Pledgor.  No act or omission of any kind on the Agent’s part shall in any event affect or impair this Agreement.
 
(r)                                     Reinstatement .  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against any Pledgor or any Pledged Entity for liquidation or reorganization, if any Pledgor or any Pledged Entity becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of a Pledgor’s or a Pledged Entity’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
 
(s)                                    Miscellaneous .  (a) The Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder.
 
(b)                                  Each Pledgor agrees to promptly reimburse the Agent for actual out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, incurred by the Agent in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement.  Each Pledgor’s obligation to reimburse the Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation of such Pledgor payable on demand.
 
(c)                                   None of the Agent, any other Guaranteed Creditor nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel shall be liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
(d)                                  Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time in the Agent’s discretion reasonably exercised after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Agent deems reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Pledgor representing any dividend, or other proceeds or distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any

 
part thereof and to give full discharge for the same, when and to the extent permitted by this Agreement.
 
(e)                                   The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Pledgor, the Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Assignor shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors.
 
(t)                                     Severability .  If for any reason any provision or provisions hereof are determined to be invalid and contrary to any existing or future law, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or effect those portions of this Agreement which are valid.
 
(u)                                  Notices .  Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

(b)                                  ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PLEDGOR, THE AGENT AND (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) EACH OTHER GUARANTEED CREDITOR CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS.  EACH PLEDGOR, THE AGENT AND (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) EACH OTHER GUARANTEED CREDITOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO.  EACH OF EACH PLEDGOR, THE AGENT AND (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) EACH OTHER GUARANTEED CREDITOR WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY ILLINOIS LAW.
 
(c)                                   EACH OF EACH PLEDGOR, THE AGENT AND (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) EACH OTHER GUARANTEED CREDITOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR THAT MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS

(c)           all Equipment, Fixtures and Inventory are located at the locations shown on Schedule A (or at other locations permitted under Section 7 );
 
5

(f)            none of the Equipment (other than vehicles) owned by such Debtor and none of such Debtor’s Inventory (other than vehicles manufactured by such Debtor and returned by customers from time to time in the ordinary course of business) is covered by any certificate of title;
 
(g)           such Debtor is and will be the lawful owner of, or has and will have a valid leasehold interest or license in, all of its Collateral, free of all Liens and claims whatsoever, other than Permitted Liens, with full power and authority to execute this Agreement and perform such Debtor’s obligations hereunder, and to subject such Collateral to the security interest granted hereunder;
 
(h)           upon the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 in the appropriate governmental offices and the payment of all required filing fees with respect thereto, the Agent will have a valid lien upon and perfected security interest in all of such Debtor’s Collateral in which a security interest can be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in such Debtor’s jurisdiction of organization; and
 
(i)            all information with respect to Collateral and Account Debtors set forth in any schedule, certificate or other writing at any time heretofore or hereafter furnished by such Debtor to the Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor, and all other written information heretofore or hereafter furnished by such Debtor to the Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor, is and will be true and correct in all material respects as of the date furnished.
 
(cc)         Use of Collateral .  Until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Debtor may have possession of its Collateral and use such Collateral in any manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or with any policy of insurance on such Collateral.
 
(dd)         Processing, Sale and Collections .  Until such time as the Agent shall notify the Company of the revocation of such power and authority while an Event of Default is continuing, each Debtor:
 
(a)           may sell, lease, use or furnish under contracts of service any of the Inventory normally held by such Debtor for such purpose, and use and consume any raw materials, work in process or materials normally held by such Debtor for such purpose;
 
(b)           will endeavor to collect, as and when due, in a manner consistent with past practices, all amounts due with respect to any of the Non-Goods Collateral, including (while an
 
6 

 
Event of Default is continuing) the taking of such action with respect to such collection as the Agent may reasonably request or, in the absence of such request, as such Debtor may deem advisable;
 
(c)           may grant, in the ordinary course of business, to any party obligated on or with respect to any of its Collateral, any rebate, refund or allowance to which such party may be lawfully entitled, and may accept, in connection therewith, the return of goods, the sale or lease of which shall have given rise to such Collateral; and
 
(d)           may sell, use or lease furniture, Equipment, Fixtures and other property to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement.
 
The Agent, however, may at any time while an Event of Default is continuing, whether before or after any revocation of such power and authority or the maturity of any of the Secured Obligations, notify any party obligated on or with respect to any of the Non-Goods Collateral to make payment directly to the Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder and enforce collection of any of the Non-Goods Collateral by suit or otherwise and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness or other obligations thereunder or evidenced thereby.  Upon request of the Agent, while an Event of Default is continuing, each Debtor will, at its own expense, notify any parties obligated on or with respect to any of the Non-Goods Collateral to make payment to the Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.
 
Each Debtor will, during the continuance of an Event of Default, forthwith, upon receipt of written demand of the Agent, transmit and deliver to the Agent, in the form received, all cash, checks, drafts, Chattel Paper and other Instruments or writings for the payment of money (properly endorsed, where required, so that such items may be collected by the Agent) which may be received by such Debtor at any time in full or partial payment or otherwise as proceeds of any of the Collateral.  Except as the Agent may otherwise consent in writing, any such items which may be received by a Debtor following such demand of the Agent will not be commingled with any other of its funds or property, but will be held separate and apart from its own funds or property and upon express trust for the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, until delivery is made to the Agent.  All items or amounts which are delivered by a Debtor to the Agent on account of partial or full payment by an Account Debtor or otherwise as proceeds of any of the Collateral shall be deposited to the credit of a non-interest bearing deposit account over which such Debtor shall have no control (each an “Assignee Deposit Account”) of such Debtor with the Agent, as security for payment of the Secured Obligations.  The Agent shall promptly upon request of the applicable Debtor (and may at any time in its discretion) apply all or any of the then balance, representing collected funds, in the Assignee Deposit Accounts, toward payment of the Secured Obligations, whether or not then due.
 
The Agent is authorized to endorse, in the name of the applicable Debtor, any item, howsoever received by the Agent, representing any payment on or other proceeds of any of the Collateral.
 
7 

 
(ee)         Certificates, Schedules and Reports .  Each Debtor will furnish to the Agent from time to time such additional schedules and such certificates and reports respecting all or any of its Collateral and the items or amounts received by such Debtor in full or partial payment or otherwise as proceeds of any of its Collateral, all to such extent as the Agent may reasonably request.  Each of the foregoing schedules, certificates, reports and notices shall be executed by a duly authorized officer of such Debtor and shall be in such form and detail as the Agent may reasonably specify.
 
(ff)           Covenants .  From the date of this Agreement, and thereafter until this Agreement is terminated, each Debtor:
 
(a)           will, from time to time, execute (as applicable) and deliver such financing statements and other documents (and pay the cost of filing or recording the same in all applicable offices) and do such other acts and things (including, to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, delivery to the Agent of any Instrument or Certificated Security that constitutes Collateral), as are necessary or as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request, to establish and maintain a valid and perfected security interest in its Collateral (free of all other Liens, claims and rights of third parties whatsoever, other than Permitted Liens) to secure the payment of the Secured Obligations;
 
(b)           will keep all Inventory (other than Inventory that is in transit in the normal course of business) at the locations shown on Schedule A ; provided that such Debtor may keep Inventory at any other location so long as (i) if such location is owned by such Debtor or any other Debtor, such Debtor has given the Agent not less than 15 days’ prior written notice that Inventory of such Debtor will be located at such location, (ii) if such location is leased by such Debtor or any other Debtor, the Agent has received a waiver and consent reasonably satisfactory to the Agent from the landlord of such location, and (iii) if such location is neither owned nor leased by such Debtor or any other Debtor, the Agent shall have received a Collateral Access Agreement from the bailee, processor, warehouseman or other third party that has possession of such Inventory; and provided , further , that any Debtor may temporarily keep Inventory at other locations in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices, but such Debtor will, upon request of the Agent during the existence of an Event of Default, return such Inventory (other than Inventory leased to such Debtor’s customers in the ordinary course of business to the extent relocation would violate the relevant lease) to one of the locations shown on Schedule A ;
 
(c)           will maintain its chief executive office and principal place of business at the respective addresses shown on Schedule B , unless such Debtor gives the Agent 30 days’ prior written notice of any new address;
 
(d)           (i) will keep all Equipment (except (x) Equipment that is normally used in more than one State (referred to in this clause (d)  as “mobile goods”) and (y) Equipment that is located outside the continental United States with an aggregate fair market value not in excess of $35,000,000) at the locations shown on Schedule A ; provided that such Debtor may keep Equipment at any other location so long as (i) if such location is owned by such Debtor or any other Debtor, such Debtor has given the Agent not less than 15 days’ prior written notice that Equipment of such Debtor will be located at such location, (ii) if such location is leased by such Debtor or any other Debtor, the Agent has received a waiver and consent reasonably satisfactory

to the Agent from the landlord of such location, and (iii) if such location is neither owned nor leased by such Debtor or any other Debtor, the Agent shall have received a satisfactory agreement from the bailee, warehouseman or other third party that has possession of such Equipment acknowledging the Agent’s Lien on such Equipment and granting the Agent access to such location to remove such Equipment upon notice during the existence of an Event of Default; and provided , further , that (A) any Debtor may keep tooling at any supplier in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice so long as the aggregate value of all tooling of all Debtors so kept with suppliers does not at any time exceed $10,000,000; and (B) any Debtor may keep Equipment at any other location so long as the aggregate value of all Equipment of all Debtors at all such other locations (excluding locations shown on Schedule A or referred to in the parenthetical clause beginning in the first line of this Section 7(d) , in the first proviso to this Section 7(d) or in clause (A) of this proviso) does not at any time exceed $25,000,000; and (ii) will not use any mobile goods outside the continental United States unless the Agent shall otherwise consent in writing;
 
(e)            will not change its jurisdiction of organization or incorporation or its name, identity or corporate structure such that any financing statement filed to perfect the Agent’s interests under this Agreement would become seriously misleading, unless such Debtor shall have given the Agent not less than 30 days’ prior notice of such change ( provided that this Section 7(e) shall not be deemed to authorize any change or transaction prohibited under the Credit Agreement);
 
(f)             if such Debtor is organized under the laws of the United States or any State or other political subdivision thereof, will keep all Deposit Accounts (except for (i) Deposit Accounts that do not, individually or collectively, hold deposits in excess of $7,500,000 for more than five consecutive Business Days (or, solely in the case of Deposit Accounts maintained by JLG Industries, Inc. Australia Branch, deposits in excess of $15,000,000 for more than ten Business Days) and (ii) any accounts facilitating the operation of cash pooling, interest set-off and/or sweep arrangements) and Investment Property in the United States;
 
(g)            will, promptly upon any officer of such Debtor obtaining knowledge that such Debtor has acquired a Commercial Tort Claim with a reasonably anticipated value in excess of $1,000,000, promptly notify the Agent in a writing signed by such Debtor of the details thereof and grant to the Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;
 
(h)            will furnish the Agent such information concerning such Debtor, the Collateral and the Account Debtors as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request;
 
(i)             will, upon request of the Agent, stamp on its records concerning the Collateral a notation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, of the security interest of the Agent hereunder;
 
(j)             will reimburse the Agent promptly following demand for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable fees of attorneys (who may be employees of the Agent) and legal expenses, incurred by the Agent in seeking to collect or enforce any rights under the Collateral and, in case of an Event of Default, in seeking to collect any Secured Obligations and
 
9 

 
to enforce rights hereunder, including expenses of any repairs to any realty or other property to which any of the Equipment may be affixed or be a part;
 
(k)            will pay, when due, all taxes, assessments, governmental charges and other similar charges levied against any of the Collateral, except and so long as such Debtor is contesting such taxes, assessments or charges in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and such Debtor has set aside on its books such reserves or other appropriate provisions therefor as may be required by generally accepted accounting principles;
 
(l)             will do nothing to impair in any material respect the rights of the Agent or the other Guaranteed Creditors in the Collateral (provided that this clause (l) will not prohibit any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement);
 
(m)           will at all times keep its Collateral insured in compliance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement (and such Debtor assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by it, and agrees that the liability of such Debtor to pay its obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such Collateral may be lost, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to such Debtor);
 
(n)            will, during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) notify the Agent of any Collateral which, to its knowledge, constitutes a claim against the United States government or any instrumentality or agency thereof (except for claims against any state government, unless requested by the Agent), the assignment of which claim is restricted by federal law, and (ii) promptly upon the request of the Agent, take such steps as may be necessary to comply with any applicable federal assignment of claims laws;
 
(o)            at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request, will give the Agent information as to ownership of any vehicle or other Equipment covered by a certificate of title and, promptly upon request of the Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Debtor will deliver any such certificate of title to the Agent and/or will cause the Lien of the Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, to be noted thereupon;
 
(p)            will defend title to the Collateral and the Liens of the Agent on the Collateral against the claim of any Person, other than to the extent such claim is a Permitted Lien, and will maintain and preserve such Liens of the Agent; and
 
(q)            will, with respect to each Holder (i) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal quarter during which the aggregate amount of Entrusted Goods of all Debtors with such Holder exceeds $3,000,000 (or, if later, the date on which such Debtor first delivers Entrusted Goods to such Holder), perfect its interest as Entrustor in all Entrusted Goods of such Debtor held by such Holder by filing a UCC financing statement (or the equivalent in Ontario or any other jurisdiction in Canada that has a filing system similar to the system established under Ontario Personal Property Security Act) in each applicable jurisdiction against such Holder; (ii) take such actions as are necessary from time to time to continue the effectiveness of each financing statement (or equivalent document) filed pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) (unless such Debtor no longer has, and does not reasonably expect to have, any Entrusted Goods in an
 
10 

 
aggregate amount in excess of $3,000,000 with such Holder); and (iii) prior to or promptly after such Debtor files any financing statement against a Holder pursuant to clause (i) above (and not less than once every five years thereafter so long as such Debtor has, or reasonably expects to have, Entrusted Goods in an aggregate amount in excess of $3,000,000 with such Holder), send a notice to each Person that (as of the date of such filing) has a financing statement on file in the relevant office covering Inventory of such Holder (other than a filing against specific Goods that do not constitute Entrusted Goods), stating that such Debtor has or expects to acquire a purchase-money security interest in (or, as applicable, to place on Consignment with or lease to such Holder) Goods that will be Inventory of such Holder and describing such Goods.  Each Debtor hereby authorizes the Agent to file any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment to financing statement in any jurisdiction and with any filing office as the Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary to perfect the security interest granted to the Agent hereunder or in connection herewith.  Any such financing statement or amendment may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described in any security agreement or pledge agreement entered into by the parties in connection herewith, or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral or in connection herewith, including describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property”, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and wherever located.
 
The Agent may from time to time, at its option, perform any agreement of a Debtor hereunder which such Debtor shall fail to perform when due and take any other action which the Agent deems necessary for the maintenance or preservation of any of the Collateral or its interest therein, and such Debtor agrees to forthwith reimburse the Agent for all expenses of the Agent in connection with the foregoing, together with interest thereon from the date incurred until reimbursed by such Debtor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin applicable to Revolving Loans in effect from time to time.  The applicable Debtor’s obligation to reimburse the Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation of such Debtor payable on demand.
 
(gg)          Remedies .
 
(a)            Remedies Upon an Event of Default .  Whenever an Event of Default exists, the Agent may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the UCC and any other applicable law (in addition to those described below).  Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent may, during the existence of an Event of Default:
 
(1)            personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from such Debtor or any other Person which then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law (unless the same shall be required by applicable law), and for that purpose may enter in an orderly and lawful manner upon such Debtor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in connection with such removal any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of such Debtor;
 
11 

 
(2)            instruct the obligor or obligors on any contract, agreement, instrument or other obligation (including Accounts) constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms thereof directly to the Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors;
 
(3)            sell or otherwise liquidate, or direct such Debtor to sell or otherwise liquidate, any or all investments made in whole or in part with the Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation;
 
(4)            with respect to Secured Obligations which are contingent and cannot be accelerated by their nature, require such Debtor to deposit cash or other acceptable collateral in an amount sufficient to cover principal, interest and fees which will have accrued by the maturity date on such Secured Obligations to be held as security for such Secured Obligations in such Debtor’s Assignee Deposit Account;
 
(5)            to the extent applicable thereto, exercise the voting and other rights as a holder of such Collateral, and collect and receive all dividends, interest and principal and other distributions made thereon; and
 
(6)            take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing such Debtor in writing to deliver the same to the Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, at any reasonable place or places designated by the Agent, in which event such Debtor shall at its own expense:
 
a.              forthwith cause the same to be delivered to the Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, at the place or places so designated by the Agent;
 
b.              store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, at such place or places pending further action by the Agent; and
 
c.              while any Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such safeguards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect such Collateral and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition;
 
it being understood that such Debtor’s obligation so to deliver Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Debtor of such obligation.
 
(b)            Disposition of the Collateral .
 
(1)            Any Collateral repossessed by the Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, under or pursuant to Section 8(a) , and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Agent, on behalf of itself and the other
 
12 

 
Guaranteed Creditors, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms and for such prices as the Agent may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, shall have the power to foreclose a Debtor’s right of redemption in the applicable Collateral by sale, lease or other disposition of such Collateral in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in each state where such Collateral is located.  Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of in the condition in which such Collateral existed when taken by the Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, or after any overhaul or repair which the Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable and the Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement for the payment of any costs or expenses of such overhaul or repair.  Any such disposition made by a private sale or other private proceeding permitted by the requirements of applicable law shall be made after written notice to the applicable Debtor specifying the time at which such disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or other consideration therefor.  Any such disposition made by a public sale permitted by such requirements of applicable law shall be made after written notice to the applicable Debtor specifying the time and place of such sale and, in the absence of applicable requirements of law, shall be by public auction.  To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, or any other Guaranteed Creditor may itself bid for and become the purchaser of the Collateral, or any item thereof, offered for sale in accordance with this Section 8(b) without accountability to such Debtor.  In the payment of the purchase price of the Collateral the purchaser shall be entitled to have credit on account of the purchase price thereof of amounts owing to such purchaser on account of any of the Secured Obligations held by such purchaser and any such purchaser may deliver notes, claims for interest, or claims for other payment with respect to such Secured Obligations in lieu of cash up to the amount which would, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon.  Such notes, if the amount payable hereunder shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the holder thereof after being appropriately stamped to show partial payment.  If, under mandatory requirements of applicable law, the Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, shall be required to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the applicable Debtor as specified above, the Agent need give such Debtor only such notice of disposition as shall be reasonably practicable in view of such mandatory requirements of applicable law.
 
(2)            No notification need be given to a Debtor (x) if such Debtor has signed, after an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition, or (y) with respect to Collateral that is (A) perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or (B) is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (including Investment Property).  Each Debtor hereby agrees and acknowledges that a commercially reasonable disposition of Inventory, Equipment, Computer Hardware and Software or Intellectual Property may be by lease or license of,
 
13 

 
in addition to the sale of, such Collateral.  Each Debtor further agrees and acknowledges that (1) a disposition made in the usual manner on any recognized market, at the price current in any recognized market at the time of disposition or in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among dealers in the type of property subject to the disposition shall, in each case, be deemed commercially reasonable, and (2) to the extent notice of a proposed disposition of Collateral is required to be given, notification sent after an Event of Default and at least ten days before such proposed disposition provides notice within a reasonable time before disposition.
 
(hh)          Application of Proceeds; Deficiency .  The proceeds of the Collateral realized upon the exercise of remedies hereunder shall be applied by the Agent to payment of the Secured Obligations in the following order unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise direct:
 
(a)            FIRST, to payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent incurred in connection with the collection and enforcement of the Secured Obligations or of the security interest granted to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, including all costs and expenses of any sale pursuant to this Agreement, and of any judicial or private proceedings in which such sale may be made, and of all other expenses, Secured Obligations and advances made or incurred by the Agent;
 
(b)            SECOND, to payment, pro rata , of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest and fees, together with (to the extent permitted by law) interest owing thereon at the applicable default rate from the date due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;
 
(c)            THIRD, to payment, pro rata , of the principal of the Secured Obligations and the aggregate Swap Termination Value under all Rate Swap Documents, in each case then due, owing or unpaid;
 
(d)            FOURTH, to payment, pro rata , of any other Secured Obligations then due, owing or unpaid until paid in full including any Secured Obligations incurred pursuant to this Agreement; and
 
(e)            FIFTH, the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been satisfied, shall be remitted as required by law.
 
The Debtors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations, including the fees and disbursements of any attorneys engaged by the Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor to collect such deficiency.
 
(ii)            Remedies Cumulative .  Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Guaranteed Creditors, shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given to the Agent or the other Guaranteed Creditors under this Agreement or any other Loan Document now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Agent.  All
 
14 

 
such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any of the others.  No delay or omission of the Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Secured Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  In the event that the Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Agent or such other Guaranteed Creditor may recover reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which attorneys may be employees of the Agent, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.
 
(jj)            Discontinuance of Proceedings .  In case the Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Agent or such other Guaranteed Creditor, then and in every such case the applicable Debtor and the Agent or such other Guaranteed Creditor shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Agent or such other Guaranteed Creditor shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.
 
(kk)          Custody and Preservation of Collateral .  The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession if it takes such action for that purpose as the applicable Debtor requests in writing, but failure of the Agent to comply with any such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure of the Agent to preserve or protect any rights with respect to such Collateral against prior parties, or to do any act with respect to the preservation of such Collateral not so requested by such Debtor, shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of such Collateral.
 
(ll)            Authorization for the Agent to Take Certain Action .  Each Debtor irrevocably authorizes the Agent, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default is continuing, in the sole discretion of the Agent, and appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such Debtor, (a) to endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (b) to enforce payment of the Accounts in the name of the Agent, any other Guaranteed Creditor or such Debtor, and (c) to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in Section 9 .  This appointment as attorney-in-fact is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any Secured Obligations are outstanding.
 
(mm)        Notices .  Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in the case of each Debtor or the Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement.  Any Debtor or the Agent may change its address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties hereto.
 
(nn)          Waiver and Amendments .  No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Agent and the Required Lenders (or such
 
15 

 
greater number of Lenders as may be required by the Credit Agreement).  Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by any Debtor from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
 
(oo)          Termination; Release of Collateral .
 
(a) This Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations or commitments therefor outstanding) until the payment in full of the Secured Obligations and the termination of the Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms, at which time the security interests granted hereby shall terminate and any and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Debtor.  Upon such termination, the Agent shall promptly return to the applicable Debtor, at such Debtor’s expense, such of the Collateral held by the Agent as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof.  The Agent will promptly execute and deliver to the applicable Debtor such other documents as such Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
 
(b)            The Agent will, promptly upon request of any Debtor (which request shall be accompanied by any documentation the Agent may reasonably request to confirm that any applicable conditions to the Agent’s acting upon such request have been satisfied (on which documentation the Agent may conclusively rely absent written notice to the contrary)), release its security interest in (i) any Collateral of such Debtor that is disposed of by such Debtor as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted under the Credit Agreement or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, all Collateral granted by any Person that ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
 
(pp)          Lien Absolute .  All rights of the Agent hereunder, and all obligations of each Debtor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
 
(a)            any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any other document executed in connection with any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;
 
(b)            any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;
 
(c)            any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations; or
 
(d)            any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Debtor.
 
16 

 
(qq)          Release .  Each Debtor consents and agrees that the Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors may at any time, or from time to time, in their discretion (a) renew, extend or change the time of payment, and/or the manner, place or terms of payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations and (b) exchange, release and/or surrender all or any of the Collateral, or any part thereof, by whomsoever deposited, which is now or may hereafter be held by the Agent in connection with all or any of the Secured Obligations; all in such manner and upon such terms as the Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from any Debtor, it being hereby agreed that each Debtor shall be and remain bound upon this Agreement, irrespective of the value or condition of any of the Collateral, and notwithstanding any such change, exchange, settlement, compromise, surrender, release, renewal or extension, and notwithstanding also that the Secured Obligations may, at any time, exceed the aggregate principal amount thereof set forth in the relevant Loan Document or any other agreement governing any Secured Obligations.  Each Debtor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement, and also presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor of any and all of the Secured Obligations, and promptness in commencing suit against any party hereto or liable hereon, and in giving any notice to or of making any claim or demand hereunder upon any Debtor.  No act or omission of any kind on the Agent’s part shall in any event affect or impair this Agreement.
 
(rr)            Reinstatement .  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against any Debtor for liquidation or reorganization, if any Debtor becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of a Debtor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
 
(ss)          CHOICE OF LAW AND JURISDICTION .  (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS, OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.
 
(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH DEBTOR, THE AGENT AND (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) EACH OTHER GUARANTEED CREDITOR CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS.  EACH DEBTOR, THE AGENT AND (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) EACH OTHER GUARANTEED CREDITOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY
 
17 

 
NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO.  EACH OF EACH DEBTOR, THE AGENT AND (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) EACH OTHER GUARANTEED CREDITOR WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY ILLINOIS LAW.
 
(c)            EACH OF EACH DEBTOR, THE AGENT AND (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) EACH OTHER GUARANTEED CREDITOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR THAT MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
 
(tt)            Severability .  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
 
(uu)          Successors and Assigns .  The rights and privileges of each Debtor, the Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors hereunder shall inure to the benefit of their respective successors and permitted assigns.
 
(vv)          Counterparts; Additional Debtors .  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, which shall, collectively and separately, constitute one agreement.  At any time after the date of this Agreement, one or more additional Persons may become parties hereto by executing and delivering to the Agent a counterpart of this Agreement (including supplements to the Schedules hereto).  Immediately upon such execution and delivery (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to, and will be bound by all the terms of, this Agreement.
