In the event of the business failure of any Guarantor or if there shall be pending any bankruptcy, insolvency or other case or proceeding with respect to any Guarantor under any Insolvency Law or any other applicable law or in connection with the insolvency of any Guarantor, or if a liquidator, receiver, or trustee shall have been appointed for any Guarantor or any Guarantor’s properties or assets, the Credit Parties may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Credit Parties allowed in any proceedings relative to such Guarantor, or any of such Guarantor’s properties or assets, and, irrespective of whether the indebtedness or other obligations of Borrower guaranteed hereby shall then be due and payable, by declaration or otherwise, the Credit Parties shall be entitled and empowered to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any sums or sums owing with respect to the indebtedness or other obligations of Borrower guaranteed hereby, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against Borrower, Guarantors shall not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 or any other provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, any other Insolvency Law or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Credit Parties to enforce any rights of the Credit Parties against Guarantors by virtue of this Guaranty or otherwise.”; and
(g)By deleting in its entirety Section 27(a) of the Guaranty, and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
“(a) This Guaranty and all covenants made by the Guarantors under the Loan Documents shall, subject to the terms of Section 5 hereof, continue in effect for so long as any Obligation remains outstanding or subject to any bankruptcy preference, fraudulent conveyance, preference or transfer for undervalue period or any other possibility of disgorgement or any Letters of Credit remain outstanding or any Credit Party has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit and until all of the obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) of Guarantors to Credit Parties under this Guaranty are fully and finally performed and discharged in accordance with their terms (and without regard to any extension, reduction or other alteration thereof in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, any other Insolvency Law or any other proceeding described in Section
11
12.1(h), (i) or (j) of the Credit Agreement) and are not subject to any bankruptcy preference period or any other disgorgement.”; and
(h)By inserting the following as Section 28 of the Guaranty:
“28. Judgment Currency. For the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court if it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Guarantor hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (i.e. Dollars) (the “Specified Currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with such other currency at the Agent’s main Cleveland, Ohio office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Guarantor in respect of any sum due hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the Specified Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by any Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the Specified Currency with such other currency. If the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, in the Specified Currency, the Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, against such loss, and to pay such additional amounts upon demand from Agent.”
4.References to Credit Agreement and Guaranty. All references in the Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement or Guaranty shall be deemed a reference to the Credit Agreement or Guaranty as modified and amended herein.
5.Acknowledgment of Borrower and Guarantors. Borrower and Guarantors hereby acknowledge, represent and agree that the Loan Documents, as modified and amended herein, remain in full force and effect and constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Borrower and Guarantors, as applicable, enforceable against Borrower and Guarantors in accordance with their respective terms, and that the execution and delivery of this Amendment does not constitute, and shall not be deemed to constitute, a release, waiver or satisfaction of Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents.
6.Representations and Warranties. Borrower and Guarantors represent and warrant to Agent and the Lenders as follows:
(a)Authorization.

12
(b)Enforceability. This Amendment and the other documents executed in connection herewith are the valid and legally binding obligations of Borrower and Guarantors enforceable in accordance with the respective terms and provisions hereof and thereof, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the effect of general principles of equity.
(c)Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and the other documents executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not require the approval or consent of any Person or the authorization, consent, approval of or any license or permit issued by, or any filing or registration with, or the giving of any notice to, any court, department, board, commission or other governmental agency or authority other than those already obtained and any disclosure filings with the SEC as may be required with respect to this Amendment.
(d)Reaffirmation. Borrower and Guarantors reaffirm and restate as of the date hereof each and every representation and warranty made by the Borrower and Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of such Persons in connection therewith except for representations or warranties that expressly relate to an earlier date.
7.No Default. By execution hereof, the Borrower and Guarantors certify that as of the date of this Amendment and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
8.Waiver of Claims.

Guarantors hereby consent to the terms of this Amendment. Nothing in this Amendment or any other document delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed or construed to constitute, and there has not otherwise occurred, a novation, cancellation, satisfaction, release, extinguishment or substitution of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or the other obligations of Borrower and Guarantors under the Loan Documents.

13.MISCELLANEOUS. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401, BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
