PART I
Item 1. Business.
Federal Signal Corporation, founded in 1901, was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1969. The Company designs, manufactures and supplies a suite of products and integrated solutions for municipal, governmental, industrial and commercial customers. The Company’s portfolio of products that it manufactures includes sewer cleaners, industrial vacuum loaders, vacuum- and hydro-excavation trucks (collectively, “safe-digging” trucks), street sweepers, road-marking and line-removal equipment, waterblasting equipment, dump truck bodies, trailers, and safety and security systems, including technology-based products and solutions for the public safety market. In addition, the Company engages in the sale of parts, service and repair, equipment rentals and training as part of a comprehensive aftermarket offering to its customers. The Company operates 20 principal manufacturing facilities in five countries and provides products and integrated solutions to customers in all regions of the world.
Narrative Description of Business
Products manufactured and supplied, and services rendered, by the Company are divided into two reportable segments: the Environmental Solutions Group and the Safety and Security Systems Group. The individual operating businesses are organized as such because they share certain characteristics, including technology, marketing, distribution and product application, which create long-term synergies. Corporate contains those items that are not included in the Company’s reportable segments.
Financial information concerning the Company’s two reportable segments for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, is included in Note 17 – Segment Information to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and is incorporated herein by reference.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity of OSW Equipment & Repair, LLC (“OSW”) and the acquisitions of substantially all of the assets and operations of Ground Force Manufacturing LLC (“Ground Force”) and Deist Industries, Inc., Bucks Fabricating, LLC, Roll-Off Parts, LLC and Switch-N-Go, LLC (collectively, “Deist”).
Environmental Solutions Group
The Company’s Environmental Solutions Group is a leading manufacturer and supplier of a full range of street sweepers, sewer cleaners, industrial vacuum loaders, safe-digging trucks, high-performance waterblasting equipment, road-marking and line-removal equipment, dump truck bodies, trailers and metal extraction support equipment. The Group manufactures vehicles and equipment in the U.S. and Canada that are sold under the Elgin®, Vactor®, Guzzler®, TRUVAC®, WestechTM, Jetstream®, Mark Rite Lines, Ox Bodies®, Crysteel®, J-Craft®, Duraclass®, Rugby®, Travis®, OSW, NTE, WTB, Ground Force, Bucks® and Switch-N-Go® brand names. The Group’s product offerings also include certain products manufactured by other companies, such as refuse and recycling collection vehicles, camera systems, ice resurfacing equipment and snow-removal equipment. Products are sold to both municipal and industrial customers either through a dealer network or direct sales to service customers generally depending on the type and geographic location of the customer. In addition to vehicle and equipment sales, the Group also engages in the sale of parts, service and repair, equipment rentals and training as part of a comprehensive aftermarket offering to its current and potential customers through its service centers located across North America.
Under the Elgin brand name, the Company sells a leading U.S. brand of street sweepers primarily designed for large-scale cleaning of curbed streets, parking lots and other paved surfaces utilizing mechanical sweeping, vacuum and recirculating air technology. Vactor is a leading manufacturer of equipment solutions for cleaning and maintaining sewers and catch basins. Under the TRUVAC brand name, the Company manufactures a range of premium vacuum- and hydro-excavation trucks designed to satisfy the safe-digging requirements of businesses or organizations that locate and verify underground utility lines and pipes. Guzzler is a leader in industrial vacuum loaders used to manage industrial waste or recover and recycle valuable raw materials. Westech is a manufacturer of high-quality, rugged vacuum-excavation trucks. Jetstream manufactures high-pressure waterblasting equipment and accessories for commercial and industrial cleaning and maintenance operations. Mark Rite Lines Equipment Company, Inc. (“MRL”), is a U.S. manufacturer of truck-mounted and ride-on road-marking and line-removal equipment. Ground Force is a leading manufacturer of specialty material handling vehicles that support the extraction of metals. The Company manufactures and sells dump truck bodies and trailers under the Ox Bodies, Crysteel, J-Craft, Duraclass, Rugby, Travis, OSW, NTE and WTB brand names, as well as a range of interchangeable truck body systems and waste hauling products under the Bucks and Switch-N-Go brand names.

Safety and Security Systems Group
The Company’s Safety and Security Systems Group is a leading manufacturer and supplier of comprehensive systems and products that law enforcement, fire rescue, emergency medical services, campuses, military facilities and industrial sites use to protect people and property. Offerings include systems for community alerting, emergency vehicles, first responder interoperable communications and industrial communications. Specific products include public safety equipment, such as vehicle lightbars and sirens, industrial signaling equipment, public warning systems and general alarm/public address systems. Products are sold under the Federal SignalTM, Federal Signal VAMA®, and Victor® brand names. The Group operates manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Europe and South Africa.
Marketing and Distribution
Depending primarily on the type and geographic location of the end-customer, the Environmental Solutions Group uses either a dealer network or direct sales to serve customers. The 2017 acquisition of Truck Bodies and Equipment International (“TBEI”) increased the number of dealers within the Company’s network and also added additional direct sales resources. The dealer network serves both municipal and industrial end-markets. Within municipal markets, the majority of the Company’s dealers operate exclusively in their assigned territory. In conjunction with selling vehicles to end-customers, dealer representatives demonstrate vehicle functionality and capability and provide vehicle service. In addition to selling products manufactured by the Company, certain of our businesses distribute and re-sell products manufactured by other companies. The Company believes its regional, national and global dealer networks for vehicles is a distinguishing factor from its competitors. The Company has an ownership interest in certain dealers.
The Environmental Solutions Group’s direct sales channel concentrates primarily on the industrial, utility and construction market segments. To support current and potential customers in these market segments, the Group also engages in the sale of parts, service and repair, equipment rentals and training through its service centers located across North America.
The Safety and Security Systems Group sells to industrial customers through wholesalers and distributors who are supported by Company sales personnel or independent manufacturer representatives. Products are also sold to municipal and governmental customers through active independent distributors, as well as through original equipment manufacturers and the direct sales force. The Company sells comprehensive integrated warning and interoperable communications through a combination of the direct sales force and independent distributors. International sales are made through independent foreign distributors or on a direct basis.
Customers and Backlog
No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net sales in any year within the three-year period ended December 31, 2021.
The Company’s backlog totaled $629 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $304 million at December 31, 2020. Backlogs vary by group due to the nature of the Company’s products and the buying patterns of its customers. The Environmental Solutions Group typically experiences an average backlog of approximately three to six months of shipments. The Safety and Security Systems Group typically experiences an average backlog of approximately two months of shipments. While supply chain and coronavirus-related labor disruptions have contributed to longer lead times for certain businesses, production of the Company’s December 31, 2021 backlog is expected to be substantially completed during 2022.
Suppliers
The Company purchases a wide variety of raw materials from around the world for use in the manufacture of its products, although the majority of its purchases are currently from North American sources. To minimize risks relating to availability, price and quality of key products and components, the Company is party to numerous strategic supplier arrangements. Although certain materials are obtained from either a single-source supplier or a limited number of suppliers, the Company has generally identified alternative sources to minimize the interruption of its business in the event of supply disruptions. However, the Company may incur supply disruptions and unanticipated costs in transitioning to a new supplier.
Components critical to the production of the Company’s vehicles, such as engines, are purchased from a select number of suppliers. The Company also purchases raw and fabricated steel, as well as commercial chassis, from multiple sources. In addition, we may incorporate chassis provided directly by our customers in our production process. In those situations, the Company’s production processes rely upon the customer providing the chassis on a timely basis. Certain of the Company’s businesses also rely on the availability of equipment supplied by others to meet customer demand.
The Company actively manages material supply sourcing and employs various methods to limit risk associated with commodity cost fluctuations and availability. During 2021, the Company’s manufacturing operations were adversely affected as the

continuity of its material supply was adversely impacted by capacity constraints, global logistics disruptions, component shortages and coronavirus-related production downtime at certain suppliers. The Company has designed and implemented plans to partially mitigate the impact of these challenges by using alternate suppliers, re-engineering products, expanding its supply base globally, leveraging overall purchasing volumes to obtain favorable pricing and quantities and developing a closer working relationship with key suppliers. However, the Company can provide no assurance that those efforts will be successful and anticipates that similar material shortages and production delays will persist into 2022.
Competition
Within the Environmental Solutions Group, Elgin is recognized as a market leader among domestic sweeper competitors and differentiates itself primarily on product performance. The Vactor, TRUVAC and Guzzler brands each maintain a leading domestic position in their respective marketplaces by enhancing product performance with leading technology and application flexibility. Jetstream is a market leader in the in-plant cleaning segment of the U.S. waterblast industry, competing on product performance, rapid delivery and solutions services. Joe Johnson Equipment, Inc. with Joe Johnson Equipment (USA), Inc., (collectively, “JJE”), is a leading Canadian-based distributor of maintenance equipment for municipal and industrial markets. TBEI includes a portfolio of regional dump truck body and trailer brands with market leadership positions in distinct geographies and product categories, differentiating itself with its broad regional distribution network, focus on customer responsiveness and operational expertise. MRL is a market-leading manufacturer of road-marking and line-removal equipment. Ground Force is a leading manufacturer of specialty material handling vehicles that support the extraction of metals.
Within specific product categories and domestic markets, the businesses within the Safety and Security Systems Group are among the market leaders. This Group’s international market position varies from leader to ancillary participant depending on the geographic region and product line. Generally, competition is intense within all of this Group’s product lines and purchase decisions are made based on price, features, reputation, performance and service, often within competitive bidding situations.
Patents and Trademarks
The Company owns a number of patents and possesses rights under others to which it attaches importance, but it does not believe that its business as a whole is materially dependent upon any such patents or rights. The Company also owns a number of trademarks, including those listed within the “Narrative Description of Business” section above. We believe these trademarks are important in connection with the identification of our products and associated goodwill with customers, but no material part of the Company’s business is dependent on our trademarks.
Human Capital Management
As of December 31, 2021, the Company employed approximately 3,900 people in its businesses located in five countries, with the Company’s U.S. hourly workers accounting for approximately 54% of its total workforce. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 13% of the Company’s U.S. hourly workers were represented by unions. The Company believes that its labor relations with its employees are good.
The Company believes that its employees are key to its ability to deliver exceptional products and services to its customers. The Company applies a holistic total rewards strategy, designed to recruit, motivate, and retain talented employees at all levels of the organization, and offer competitive, market-based compensation programs, and attractive benefit packages.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The Company is committed to promoting and supporting diversity, equity and inclusion (“DE&I”). The Company believes that behaving inclusively is the right thing to do. The Company also believes that hearing different voices, and seeking different perspectives and ideas, leads to better results. The Company strives to promote diversity on its Board of Directors, senior management and in leadership roles throughout the Company. Currently, two of the Company’s seven directors self-identify as members of a minority group.
In addition, two of the Company’s directors are female, placing the Company ahead of the 26% average for companies in the Russell 3000 Index. Of the companies in the Russell 3000 Index, approximately 6% have a female Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and the Company is proud to be among that group. In addition, 40% of the Company’s current executive officers are female, including the Company’s President and CEO and Vice President and Corporate Controller.
The Company’s commitment to DE&I throughout the organization is further evidenced by its policies related to various aspects of employment, including, but not limited to, recruiting, selecting, hiring, employment placement, job assignment, compensation, access to benefits, selection for training, use of facilities, and participation in Company-sponsored employee activities. During 2021, the Company’s Executive Leadership Team, comprised of business leaders from across the organization, completed a comprehensive DE&I educational awareness training led by an industry expert.

Employee Training and Development
The Company believes that identifying and developing the next generation of business leaders is important to its long-term success, and is proud to support its employees in furthering their education with tuition reimbursement programs and training.
The Company provides extensive training to employees within its facilities, ranging from topics such as workplace safety, anti-fraud, anti-discrimination and anti-harassment training, to advanced instruction in lean manufacturing principles and inside sales training programs. On average, the Company’s employees each receive more than 10 hours of job training per year, with some employees of certain business units each averaging nearly 80 hours of training per year.
Through its Tuition Assistance Program, the Company also aims to assist and encourage employees to expand their knowledge, skills, and job effectiveness by continuing their education at local accredited institutions of higher learning. Certain of the Company’s businesses also partner with nearby universities, from time to time, to offer courses and programs directly related to the employee’s growth in the business.
The Company is committed to the communities in which it operates, and to developing a strong pipeline from which it can recruit new talent. Many of the Company’s businesses support their local high schools with cooperative learning extension programs at their manufacturing plants, hosting in-person or virtual tours of our facilities, and providing scholarships and “signing-day” offers to high school seniors.
The Company’s employees also donate time and expertise through volunteering and mentorship programs, and work with local colleges on training programs to teach valuable technical skills that can be applied in the workplace. These programs attempt to help the Company’s next generation, and others, understand what career paths may be available to them and to explore future job opportunities with the Company.
Safety
The Company considers the safety of its employees a significant focus and strives to have zero workplace injuries. The Company has established an enterprise-wide Safety Council, which includes representatives from several of our manufacturing facilities. The Safety Council meets regularly to collaborate and implement safety improvement measures, focusing on continuous improvement initiatives and the reduction of incident frequency.
Beginning in February 2020, in response to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the Company was proactive in procuring personal protective equipment and sanitizing supplies for its facilities. The Company implemented a series of enhanced health and safety measures across the organization, such as reconfiguring work spaces and staggering manufacturing shifts to allow for social distancing, introducing temperature screening protocols, enhancing facility cleaning, limiting non-essential travel and restricting the number of visitors to its facilities.
The Company also quickly established a cross-functional task force to monitor ongoing developments, implement mitigation plans, and centrally coordinate its response. In addition to the centralized response team, local response teams were established at every business unit. Management team update calls are held frequently to communicate issues related to safety and risk mitigation, and to share coronavirus-related best practices and other policy issues. This platform has allowed management to rapidly disseminate evolving guidance from federal, state, and local health departments, at the same time promoting a consistent, iterative response. The Company continues to partner with a third-party to provide self-administered, at-home test kits to its employees and their family members at no cost and has deployed surveillance testing to reduce the probability of spreading the virus within its facilities.
During 2021, the Company launched an internal initiative to raise awareness about coronavirus vaccines, assist eligible employees in gaining access to available vaccines, and encourage participation levels. The Company has also hosted on-site vaccination events at multiple locations, provided ongoing education on vaccine-related topics, supported employee vaccination logistics, and developed a system of individual and collective incentives to work towards protecting the health and safety of its workforce and local communities. Through its efforts, the Company believes the vaccination rates at most of its businesses exceed those of the local communities in which it operates.
The Company continues to monitor the impact of the pandemic on its business and employees and will implement or modify its policies to adapt to changing circumstances arising from this pandemic.

Governmental Regulation of the Environment
As part of its ongoing commitment to environmental, social and governance initiatives, the Company endeavors to establish environmentally-friendly policies and objectives, and believes that these actions are also consistent with cost-effective operating practices. With the application of these policies, the Company believes it complies with federal, state and local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. Capital expenditures in 2021 attributable to compliance with such laws were not material. The Company also believes that the overall impact of compliance with environmental regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
Seasonality
Certain of the Company’s businesses are susceptible to the influences of seasonal factors, including buying patterns, delivery patterns and productivity influences from holiday periods and weather. In general, the Company tends to have lower equipment sales in the first calendar quarter of each year compared to other quarters as a result of these factors. In addition, rental income and parts sales are generally higher in the second and third quarters of the year, because many of the Company’s products are used for maintenance activities in North America, where usage is typically lower during periods of harsher weather conditions.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
We may occasionally make forward-looking statements and estimates such as forecasts and projections of our future performance or statements of our plans and objectives. These forward-looking statements may be contained in, but are not limited to, filings with the SEC, including this Form 10-K, press releases made by us and oral statements made by our officers. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those contained in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risks described below. Many of such risks and uncertainties may be exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic and any worsening of the global business and economic environment that may result.
Macroeconomic and Industry Risks
Our financial results are subject to U.S. economic uncertainty.
In 2021, we generated approximately 76% of our net sales in the U.S. Our ability to be profitable depends heavily on varying conditions in the U.S. governmental and municipal markets, as well as the overall U.S. economy. The industrial markets in which we compete are subject to considerable cyclicality, and move in response to cycles in the overall business environment. Many of our customers are municipal government agencies, and as a result, we are dependent on municipal government spending. Spending by our municipal customers can be affected by federal, state and local political circumstances, budgetary constraints, changing priorities, actual or potential government shutdowns and other factors. The U.S. government and municipalities depend heavily on tax revenues as a source of spending and accordingly, there is a historical correlation that suggests a lag of one to two years between the condition of the U.S. economy and our sales to the U.S. government and municipalities. Therefore, downturns in the U.S. economy are likely to result in decreases in demand for our products. During previous economic downturns, we experienced decreases in sales and profitability, and we expect our business to remain subject to similar economic fluctuations in the future. In addition, the extent of any potential changes to policies and regulations under the current U.S. administration, and how any such changes may impact the Company’s operations, is currently uncertain.
The extent to which the coronavirus pandemic will continue to adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted but could be material.
The coronavirus pandemic has created, and continues to create, significant worldwide volatility, uncertainty and disruption. In particular, the pandemic and the governmental responses to the pandemic have resulted in a substantial curtailment of business activities, a significant number of business closures, slowdowns, suspensions or delays of production and commercial activity, and weakened economic conditions, both in the United States and in many foreign countries. As such, the pandemic has directly and indirectly adversely impacted the Company and such adverse impact will likely continue. However, the extent to which the pandemic will ultimately adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results, which could be material, will depend on numerous evolving factors that are highly uncertain, rapidly changing and cannot be predicted at this time, including:
•the duration and scope of the pandemic, including the emergence of new variants;
•governmental, business and individual actions that have been, continue to be and may in the future be taken in response to the pandemic, including business and travel restrictions, “stay-at-home” and “shelter-in-place” directives, quarantines, and slowdowns, suspensions or delays of commercial activity;
•the dissemination and adoption of coronavirus vaccines and their effectiveness against new variants and any government-mandated vaccine or testing requirement in any of our facilities and markets;

We have international operations that are subject to compliance with domestic and foreign laws and regulations, economic and political uncertainties and conflicts and foreign currency rate fluctuations.
Our business is subject to fluctuations in demand and changing international economic, legal and political conditions that are beyond our control. In 2021, approximately 24% of our net sales were to customers outside the U.S. and we expect a significant portion of our revenues to come from international sales in the foreseeable future. Operating in the international marketplace exposes us to a number of risks, including the need to comply with U.S. and foreign laws and regulations applicable to our foreign operations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) Bribery Act and their counterparts in other foreign jurisdictions in which we operate, restrictive domestic and international trade regulations, and changes in these laws, regulations and policies by the U.S. and foreign governments. In addition, we may be exposed to risks and adverse economic effects associated with emerging geopolitical conflicts, actual or threatened imposition of tariffs or trade barriers on our products or materials incorporated into our products, actual or threatened trade disputes, including so-called “trade wars,” political and economic instability in the jurisdictions in which we operate, foreign receivables collection risk and local labor market conditions. Further, government administrations and agencies, the investment community, employees and other stakeholders have had an increased focus on certain climate change and other environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors, issues and initiatives. Regulatory and other legal changes in laws in response to such ESG matters could require material efforts and costs by us to comply with such changes. The costs of compliance with the various laws, regulations and policies applicable to us could be significant and penalties for non-compliance could significantly impact our business.
To the extent that our international operations are affected by adverse foreign economic or political conditions, we may experience disruptions and losses that could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow. To mitigate the risk of foreign receivables collection, we may obtain letters of credit from international customers to satisfy concerns regarding the collectability of amounts billed to customers.
Some of our contracts are denominated in foreign currencies, which may expose us to risks of fluctuating currency values and exchange rates, hard currency shortages and controls on currency exchange. Changes in the value of foreign currencies over the long term could increase our U.S. dollar costs for, or reduce our U.S. dollar revenues from, our foreign operations. Any increased costs or reduced revenues as a result of foreign currency fluctuations could adversely affect our results of operations.
The execution of our growth strategy is dependent upon the continued availability of credit and third-party financing arrangements for our customers.
Economic downturns result in tighter credit markets, which could adversely affect our customers’ ability to secure financing or to secure financing at favorable terms or interest rates necessary to proceed or continue with purchases of our products and services. Further, certain government agencies, including the U.S. Treasury, have implemented or signaled the implementation of policies that may result in increased interest rates and borrowing costs. Our customers’ or potential customers’ inability to secure financing for projects could result in the delay, cancellation or downsizing of new purchases or the suspension of purchases already under contract, which could cause a decline in the demand for our products and services and negatively impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
We operate in highly competitive markets.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources than we do. The intensity of this competition, which is expected to continue, can result in price discounting and margin pressures throughout the industry and may adversely affect our ability to increase or maintain prices for our products. In addition, certain of our competitors may have lower overall labor or material costs. In some cases, our contracts with municipal
Table of Contents
and other governmental customers are awarded and renewed through competitive bidding. We may not be successful in obtaining or renewing these contracts, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
Strategic and Operational Risks
Failure to keep pace with technological developments may adversely affect our operations.
We are engaged in an industry that will be affected by future technological developments. The introduction of products or processes utilizing new technologies, including those resulting from any new ESG regulations, could require us to make significant changes to our existing products or processes in order for them to remain marketable and competitive. Our success will depend upon our ability to develop and introduce on a timely and cost-effective basis new products, applications and processes that keep pace with technological developments and address increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. We may not be successful in identifying, developing and marketing new products, applications and processes and product or process enhancements. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of product or process enhancements or new products, applications or processes. Our products, applications or processes may not adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. Our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be materially and adversely affected if we were to incur delays in developing new products, applications or processes or product or process enhancements, or if our products do not gain market acceptance.
Our efforts to develop new products and services or enhance existing products and services involve substantial research, development and marketing expenses, and the resulting new or enhanced products or services may not generate sufficient revenues to justify the expense.
We place a high priority on developing new products and services, as well as enhancing our existing products and services. As a result of these efforts, we may be required to expend substantial research, development and marketing resources, and the time and expense required to develop a new product or service or enhance an existing product or service are difficult to predict. We may not succeed in developing, introducing or marketing new products or services or product or service enhancements. In addition, we cannot be certain that any new or enhanced product or service will generate sufficient revenue to justify the expense and resources devoted to the related product diversification effort.
The inability to obtain raw materials, component parts and/or finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner would adversely affect our ability to manufacture and market our products.
We purchase from suppliers raw materials, component parts and finished goods to be used in the manufacturing and sale of our products. In addition, we may incorporate vehicle chassis provided directly by our customers in our production process. Although the vast majority of our raw materials and component parts are sourced domestically, certain of our suppliers are based overseas, and certain of our domestic suppliers may source subcomponents from overseas. Outbreaks of communicable diseases have been known to occur in certain of these international regions, resulting in public health crises. Global markets for various products and goods have suffered, and are continuing to suffer, material disruptions to certain supply chains. Changes in our relationships with suppliers, shortages in availability of materials, production delays, regulatory restrictions, public health crises, or other supply chain disruptions, whether due to our suppliers or customers, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to timely manufacture and deliver products to our customers. Increases in the costs of purchased raw materials, component parts or finished goods could result in manufacturing interruptions, delays, inefficiencies or our inability to market products. In addition, our profit margins would decrease if prices of purchased raw materials, component parts or finished goods increase and we are unable to pass on those increases to our customers.
As economies around the world have recovered since the initial onset of the pandemic, sharp increases in demand have created significant disruption to the global supply chain, which has adversely affected our ability to receive goods on a timely basis and increased our material costs. Short-term or sustained increases in market demand may exceed our suppliers’ production capacity or otherwise strain our supply chain. Our failure, or our suppliers’ failure, to meet the demand for raw materials and components could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
During 2021, our manufacturing operations were adversely affected as the continuity of our material supply was adversely impacted by capacity constraints, global logistics disruptions, component shortages and coronavirus-related production downtime at certain suppliers. We are currently experiencing supply shortages and inflationary pressure for certain components and raw materials, including chassis, hydraulic pumps, steel, aluminum and electronic components that are important to our manufacturing processes. When facing supply-related challenges, we may increase our inventory levels and purchase commitments to shorten lead times and to help maintain adequate inventory levels to meet customer expectations. While we actively monitor and take steps in an effort to mitigate supply chain risk, there can be no assurance that our mitigation plans will prevent disruptions that may arise from shortages of materials that we use in the production of our products.
Table of Contents
Challenges within global logistics networks, including shortages of shipping containers, international port congestion, trucking and chassis shortages, rail, ocean and air freight capacity constraints, and shortages in labor availability, have resulted in delays in receiving key manufacturing components, increased order backlogs and higher transportation costs. Such logistical disruption may cause us to incur higher freight costs to expedite the receipt of components from our suppliers or the delivery of products to our customers, and may also result in longer lead times for our customers.
Uncertainties related to the magnitude and duration of global supply chain disruptions have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business and our outlook. If we are unable to recover a substantial portion of the increase in material and transportation costs from our customers through price adjustments and/or surcharges, our business or results of operations could be adversely affected. We may also experience an increase in order cancellations if any such pricing actions are not accepted by our customers.
Disruptions within our dealer network or the inability of our dealers to secure adequate access to capital could adversely affect our business.
We rely on national and global dealer networks to market certain of our products and services. As a result, our business with respect to these products and services is influenced by our ability to manage new and existing relationships with dealers. While we have relatively low turnover of dealers, from time to time, we or a dealer may choose to terminate the relationship as a result of difficulties that our dealers experience in operating their businesses due to economic conditions or other factors. While we do not believe our business is dependent on any single dealer, a disruption in our dealer network, or with a significant dealer, or within a specific market, could have an adverse impact on our business within the affected market. In addition, our dealers require adequate liquidity to finance their operations, including purchases of our products. Dealers are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could unfavorably affect their liquidity positions, including, among other things, continued access to adequate financing sources on a timely basis on reasonable terms. These sources of financing are vital to our ability to sell products through our dealer network. Deterioration in the liquidity or credit worthiness of our dealers could have a significant adverse effect on our business. From time to time, we may provide financing assistance to dealers or consider taking ownership positions. The loss or termination of a significant dealer, or a significant number of dealers, could cause difficulties in marketing and distributing our products and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
We may be unsuccessful in our future acquisitions, if any, which may have an adverse effect on our business.
Our long-term strategy includes exploring acquisitions of companies or businesses to facilitate our growth, enhance our global market position and broaden our product offerings. Such acquisitions may help us expand into adjacent markets, add complementary products and services or allow us to leverage our distribution channels. In connection with this strategy, we could face certain risks and uncertainties in addition to those we face in the day-to-day operations of our business. We also may be unable to identify suitable targets for acquisition or to make acquisitions at favorable prices. If we identify a suitable acquisition candidate, our ability to successfully implement the acquisition would depend on a variety of factors, including our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms. In addition, our acquisition activities could be disrupted by overtures from competitors for the targeted companies, governmental regulation and rapid developments in our industry that decrease the value of a potential target’s products or services.
Acquisitions involve risks, including those associated with the following:
•integrating the operations, financial reporting, disparate systems and processes and personnel of acquired companies;
•managing geographically dispersed operations;
•diverting management’s attention from other business concerns;
•changing the competitive landscape, including disrupting existing sales channels or markets;
•entering markets or lines of business in which we have either limited or no direct experience; and
•losing key employees, customers and strategic partners of acquired companies.
We also may not achieve anticipated revenue and cost benefits associated with our acquisitions. Acquisitions may not be accretive to our earnings and may negatively impact our results of operations as a result of, among other things, the incurrence of debt, acquisition costs, impairment of goodwill and amortization of other intangible assets. In addition, future acquisitions could result in dilutive issuances of equity securities.
Table of Contents
Businesses acquired by us may have liabilities that are not known to us.
We may assume liabilities in connection with the acquisition of businesses. There may be liabilities that we fail or are unable to discover in the course of performing due diligence investigations on the acquired businesses, or that may be more material than we discovered. In these circumstances, we cannot assure that our rights to indemnification will be sufficient in amount, scope or duration to fully offset the possible liabilities associated with the businesses or property acquired. Further, these liabilities could result in unexpected legal or regulatory exposure, unexpected increases in taxes or other adverse effects on our business. Any such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
We could incur restructuring and impairment charges as we continue to evaluate opportunities to restructure our business and rationalize our manufacturing operations in an effort to optimize our cost structure.
We continue to evaluate opportunities to restructure our business and rationalize our manufacturing operations in an effort to optimize our cost structure. These actions could result in significant charges that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Future actions could result in restructuring and related charges, including but not limited to impairments, employee termination costs and charges for pension and other postretirement contractual benefits and pension curtailments that could be significant and could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
Indebtedness Risk
We are subject to a number of restrictive debt covenants.
Our credit facility contains certain restrictive debt covenants and customary events of default. Our ability to comply with these restrictive covenants may be affected by the other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section, as well as other factors outside of our control. Failure to comply with one or more of these restrictive covenants may result in an event of default which, if not cured by us or waived by our lenders, allows our lenders to declare all amounts outstanding as due and payable. Such an acceleration of the maturity of our indebtedness may cause us to incur substantial costs and may prevent or limit us from engaging in transactions that benefit us, including responding to changing business and economic conditions and taking advantage of attractive business opportunities.
Human Capital and Labor Risks
Our ability to operate effectively could be impaired if we fail to attract and retain key personnel.
Our ability to operate our businesses and implement our strategies depends in part on the efforts of our executive officers and other key employees. In addition, our future success will depend on, among other factors, our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. The loss of the services of any key employee or the failure to attract or retain other qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business or business prospects.
Our business may be adversely impacted by work stoppages and other labor relations matters.
As a portion of our workforce is unionized, we are subject to risk of work stoppages and other labor relations matters. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 13% of our U.S. hourly workers were represented by labor unions and were covered by collective bargaining agreements with various unions. Our current collective bargaining agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers is due to expire in April 2022. Any strikes, threats of strikes or other organized disruptions in connection with the negotiation of new labor agreements or other negotiations could materially adversely affect our business as well as impair our ability to implement further measures to reduce costs and improve production efficiencies. In addition, the stoppage of work for a prolonged period of time at one, or several, of our principal manufacturing facilities, due to public health concerns or the implementation of any government-mandated vaccine or testing requirement, or any other reason, could materially adversely affect our business.
Our pension funding requirements and expenses are affected by certain factors outside of our control, including the performance of plan assets, the discount rate used to value liabilities, actuarial assumptions and experience and legal and regulatory changes.
Our funding obligations and pension expense for our defined benefit pension plans are driven by the performance of assets set aside in trusts for these plans, the discount rate used to value the plans’ liabilities, actuarial assumptions and experience and legal and regulatory funding requirements. Changes in these factors could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. In addition, a portion of our pension plan assets are invested in equity securities, which can experience significant declines if financial markets weaken. The level of the funding of our defined benefit pension plan
Table of Contents
liabilities was approximately 91% as of December 31, 2021. Funding of the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan is determined in accordance with guidelines set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The current year funding status was impacted by a higher discount rate than in the prior year. Our future pension expenses and funding requirements could increase significantly due to the effect of adverse changes in the discount rate, asset values or the estimated expected return on plan assets. In addition, we could become legally required to make increased cash contributions to the pension plans, and these contributions could be material and negatively affect our cash flow.
Data Security and Intellectual Property Risks
Increased information technology security threats and more sophisticated cybersecurity attacks pose a risk to our systems, networks, products and operations.
We rely upon information technology systems and networks, some of which are managed by third parties, to support a variety of business processes and activities, and to comply with regulatory, legal and tax requirements. Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, we collect and store sensitive information relating to our businesses, customers, suppliers and employees. Sensitive information may also be stored by our vendors and on the platforms and networks of third-party providers. The secure operation of these information technology systems and networks and processing and maintenance of this information is critical to the Company’s business operations and strategy.
These information technology systems and networks may be susceptible to damage, disruptions or shutdowns due to hardware failures, computer viruses, cybersecurity attacks, telecommunication failures, user errors, catastrophic events or other factors. Further, information technology security threats are growing in frequency and sophistication. Accordingly, we have implemented and continue to implement measures to address cybersecurity attacks and mitigate potential risks to our systems from these information technology-related disruptions. Despite the information security measures we have taken, our systems and networks remain potentially vulnerable to attacks, as do those of our vendors and third-party providers. Cybersecurity attacks on the Company, our vendors or our third-party providers could potentially result in the compromising of confidential information, misuse of our systems and networks, manipulation and destruction of data, misappropriation of assets or production stoppages and supply shortages, which in turn could adversely affect our reputation, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
Although we have not suffered any significant cyber incidents that have had a material business impact, we and our vendors have, from time to time, been the target of malicious cyber threats. While various procedures and controls have been and are being utilized to mitigate information technology risks, there can be no guarantee that the actions and controls that we and our third-party providers have implemented will be sufficient to protect our systems, information or other property. Further, the amount of insurance coverage we maintain may be inadequate to cover claims or liabilities relating to a cybersecurity attack.
Infringement of, or an inability to protect, our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business.
We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, nondisclosure agreements, information technology security systems, physical security and other measures to protect our proprietary intellectual property and the intellectual property of certain customers and suppliers. However, we cannot be certain that our efforts to protect these intellectual property rights will be sufficient. Intellectual property protection is subject to applicable laws in various jurisdictions where interpretations and protections differ or can be unpredictable and costly to enforce. Further, our ability to protect our intellectual property rights may be limited in certain foreign jurisdictions that do not have, or do not enforce, strong intellectual property rights. Any failure to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
Legal and Financial Risks
We may incur material losses and costs as a result of lawsuits or claims that may be brought against us which are related to product liability, warranty, product recalls, intellectual property, client service interruptions or other matters.
We are exposed to product liability and warranty claims in the normal course of business in the event that our products actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected, or the use of our products results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury and/or property damage. For example, we have been sued by firefighters seeking damages claiming that exposure to our sirens has impaired their hearing and that the sirens are, therefore, defective. In addition, we are subject to other claims and litigation from time to time, as further described in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements. We could experience material product liability or warranty costs in the future and incur significant costs to defend ourselves against these claims. While we carry insurance and maintain reserves for product liability claims, our insurance coverage may be inadequate if such claims do arise, and any defense costs and liability not covered by insurance could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. A future claim could involve the imposition of punitive damages, the award of which, pursuant to state laws, may not be covered by insurance. In addition, warranty and certain other claims are not
Table of Contents
typically covered by insurance. Any product liability or warranty issues may adversely impact our reputation as a manufacturer of high-quality, safe products and may have a material adverse effect on our business.
The costs associated with complying with environmental, safety and other ESG regulations could lower our margins.
We, like other manufacturers, continue to face heavy governmental regulation of our products, especially in the areas of the environment and employee health and safety. Increased public awareness and concern regarding climate change and other ESG matters at numerous levels of government in various jurisdictions may lead to additional international, national, regional and local legislative and regulatory responses, and compliance with any new rules could be difficult and costly. These regulations could include environmental requirements applicable to manufacturing and vehicle emissions and regulations impacting our supply chain both nationally and internationally. Complying with environmental, safety and other ESG requirements has added and will continue to add to the cost of our products, could increase the capital required to support our business and could affect the products and services that we offer. While we believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with these laws and regulations, we may be adversely impacted by costs, liabilities or claims with respect to our operations under existing laws or those that may be adopted. These requirements are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. Therefore, we could incur substantial costs, including cleanup costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions as a result of violation of, or liabilities under, environmental laws and safety regulations. Further, climate change regulations at the federal, state or local level or in international jurisdictions could require us to limit emissions, change our manufacturing processes or product offerings, or undertake other activities which may require us to incur additional expense. These requirements may increase the cost of our products, which may diminish demand for those products.
Additionally, uneven application of environmental, safety and other ESG regulations could place our products at a cost or features disadvantage, which could reduce our revenues and profitability. A failure, or perceived failure, to respond to investor or customer expectations related to ESG concerns in areas such as climate change and supply chain management could materially adversely affect our business and reputation.
An impairment in the carrying value of goodwill, intangible assets or long-lived assets could negatively affect our financial position and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2021, goodwill and intangible assets represented 32% and 15% of total consolidated assets, respectively. Rental equipment and properties and equipment are long-lived assets, which also represented more than 5% of our total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2021. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. Definite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In evaluating the potential for impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, we make assumptions regarding future operating performance, business trends, competition and market and general economic conditions. Such analyses further require us to make certain assumptions about our sales, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors. An impairment charge may result from, among other things, a significant decline in operating results, adverse market conditions, unfavorable changes in applicable laws or regulations, or a variety of other factors. Our total consolidated assets and results of operations for the applicable period could be materially adversely affected if any such charge is recorded.

Coronavirus Update
The coronavirus pandemic adversely impacted our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2020. As market conditions have gradually improved, we have seen strong recovery in customer demand, with orders for the year ended December 31, 2021 increasing by $492 million, or 47%, compared to the prior year. This order improvement has contributed to a record backlog of $629 million as of December 31, 2021.
However, the pace of economic recovery in many countries and high levels of demand have placed significant pressure on global supply chains, which has been exacerbated by labor shortages and transportation challenges. In particular, there have been significant global shortages in semi-conductors and component parts, which among other things has led to a decline in the availability of chassis in North America. These supply chain disruptions have impacted our ability to obtain certain raw materials and purchased components that are necessary to our production processes, including the ability to obtain a sufficient quantity of chassis from third-party suppliers to maximize production efficiencies and deliver products to our customers. With these supply chain challenges, we have also experienced increases in the cost of raw materials, such as steel, and have taken measures designed to mitigate the associated impacts. While we were able to largely mitigate these issues during the year ended December 31, 2021, we cannot provide any assurance that such mitigation efforts will be successful in addressing further supply chain disruption, especially with respect to chassis, which may impact our ability to service our customers, effectively roll out and realize price increases to offset the effects of commodity inflation and sustain our profit margins.
We continue to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic, and its emerging variants, on our business, including how it is affecting our employees, customers, supply chain and distribution network. The overall magnitude of the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our operating and financial results remains uncertain and will largely depend on the duration of the pandemic and the measures implemented in response, as well as the effect on our customers and suppliers.
Operating and Financial Performance in 2021
Despite the challenges created by the coronavirus pandemic, the Company was able to sustain a high level of financial performance and make progress against several long-term objectives in 2021. Included among the Company’s highlights in 2021 were the following:
•Orders exceeded $1.5 billion for the first time in the Company’s history, and were up $492 million, or 47%, from last year.
•Backlog at December 31, 2021 was $629 million, a new Company record, and more than double the backlog at the end of last year.
•Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $1.2 billion, an increase of $82 million, or 7% from last year.
•For the year ended December 31, 2021, we reported operating income and income from continuing operations of $130.7 million and $100.6 million, respectively.
Table of Contents
•On a consolidated basis, we reported adjusted EBITDA* of $180.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which translated to an adjusted EBITDA margin* of 14.9%, towards the high-end of our target range.
•Cash flow from continuing operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $101.8 million.
•With the positive operating cash flow, we ended the year with $41 million of cash and $209 million of availability for borrowings under our $500 million credit facility, which was executed in July 2019. The five-year facility can be increased by an additional $250 million for acquisitions.
•With our strong balance sheet, positive operating cash flow, and capacity under our revolving credit facility, we are well positioned to continue to invest in internal growth initiatives, pursue strategic acquisitions and consider ways to return value to stockholders, as we did during 2021:
◦Our capital expenditures in 2021 were approximately $37 million, most of which related to the acquisition of our Elgin, Illinois manufacturing facility, which we had previously leased. We also continued to make strategic investments for the future by purchasing new machinery and equipment aimed at gaining operating efficiencies and expanding capacity at several of our production facilities.
◦We continue to invest in new product development and are encouraged that these efforts will provide additional opportunities to further diversify our customer base, penetrate new end-markets or gain access to new geographic regions.
◦We completed three acquisitions in 2021, with the addition of OSW, Ground Force and Deist providing us with opportunities to expand our geographic footprint and augment our specialty vehicle product offerings.
◦We demonstrated our commitment to returning value to our stockholders by paying cash dividends of $22.0 million, and spending $15.4 million repurchasing shares under our authorized repurchase program.
•Our eighty-twenty improvement initiatives remain a critical part of our culture and we continue to focus on reducing product costs and improving manufacturing efficiencies across all our businesses.
•To highlight our ongoing focus on operating in a socially responsible and sustainable manner, we published our second annual Sustainability Report in November 2021.
*The Company uses adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) and the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to net sales (“adjusted EBITDA margin”) as additional measures which are representative of its underlying performance and to improve the comparability of results across reporting periods. Refer to the Results of Operations section for further discussion regarding these non-GAAP metrics and a reconciliation of each to the most comparable GAAP measure for each of the periods presented.

(a)The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as additional measures which are representative of its underlying performance and to improve the comparability of results across reporting periods. We believe that investors use versions of these metrics in a similar manner. For these reasons, the Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are meaningful metrics to investors in evaluating the Company’s underlying financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of income from continuing operations, interest expense, pension settlement charges, acquisition and integration-related (benefits) expenses, restructuring activity, coronavirus-related expenses, purchase accounting effects, other income/expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and the impact of adoption of a new lease accounting standard, where applicable. Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of income from continuing operations, interest expense, pension settlement charges, acquisition and integration-related (benefits) expenses, restructuring activity, coronavirus-related expenses, purchase accounting effects, other income/expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and the impact of adoption of a new lease accounting standard, where applicable, divided by net sales for the applicable period(s). Other companies may use different methods to calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin.
A discussion of changes in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 has been omitted from this Annual Report on Form 10-K, but may be found under the heading “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021.
Year ended December 31, 2021 vs. year ended December 31, 2020
Net sales
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $82.4 million, or 7%, compared to the prior year. The Environmental Solutions Group reported a net sales increase of $88.2 million, or 10%, primarily due to a $55.8 million
Table of Contents
improvement in aftermarket revenues, inclusive of a $30.0 million increase in used equipment sales, increases in sales of dump truck bodies, industrial vacuum loaders and waterblasting equipment of $27.4 million, $7.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively, and a $12.2 million favorable foreign currency translation impact. Partially offsetting these improvements were reductions in shipments of street sweepers and sewer cleaners of $14.5 million and $13.8 million, respectively. Within the Safety and Security Systems Group, net sales decreased by $5.8 million, or 3%, primarily due to reductions in sales of public safety equipment and warning systems of $7.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively, partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in sales of industrial signaling equipment and a $2.2 million favorable foreign currency translation impact.
Cost of sales
For the year ended December 31, 2021, cost of sales increased by $87.3 million, or 10%, compared to the prior year, largely due to an increase of $90.1 million, or 13%, within the Environmental Solutions Group, primarily related to increased sales volumes, inclusive of current-year acquisition effects, higher material costs, an $11.6 million unfavorable foreign currency translation impact and a $3.8 million increase in depreciation expense. Within the Safety and Security Systems Group, cost of sales decreased by $2.8 million, or 2%, primarily related to lower sales volumes, partially offset by a $1.6 million unfavorable foreign currency translation impact and higher material and freight costs.
Gross profit
For the year ended December 31, 2021, gross profit decreased by $4.9 million, or 2%, compared to the prior year, primarily due to reductions of $3.0 million and $1.9 million within the Safety and Security Systems Group and Environmental Solutions Group, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (“gross profit margin”) for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 23.8%, compared to 26.0% in the prior year, primarily driven by reductions within the Environmental Solutions Group and Safety and Security Systems Group of 220 basis points and 40 basis points, respectively.
Selling, engineering, general and administrative (“SEG&A”) expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2021, SEG&A expenses remained consistent with the prior year, with a $1.5 million reduction in Corporate SEG&A expenses being largely offset by a $1.4 million increase within the Environmental Solutions Group. As a percentage of net sales, SEG&A expenses decreased from 13.2% in the prior year, to 12.3% in the current year.
Operating income
Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased by $0.7 million, or 1%, compared to the prior year, largely due to the $4.9 million reduction in gross profit and a $1.3 million increase in amortization expense, partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in acquisition-related costs and the non-recurrence of $1.3 million of restructuring charges that were recognized in the prior year. Consolidated operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 10.8%, compared to 11.6% in the prior year.
Interest expense
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased by $1.2 million, or 21%, compared to the prior year, largely due to lower average debt levels in comparison to the prior year.
Pension settlement charges
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a pension settlement charge of $10.3 million in connection with the purchase of a group annuity contract from an insurance company, under which approximately $25 million of the projected benefit obligation of the Company’s U.S. defined benefit plan was transferred to the insurance company. For further discussion, see Note 11 – Pension and Other Post-Employment Plans to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Other (income) expense, net
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Other (income) expense, net, totaled $1.7 million of income, largely due to the recognition of $1.1 million of net periodic pension benefit and $0.3 million of foreign currency transaction gains. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Other (income) expense, net, totaled $1.1 million of expense, largely due to the recognition of a $2.3 million charge associated with the withdrawal from a multi-employer pension plan, partially offset by $0.5 million of net periodic pension benefit and $0.4 million of foreign currency transaction gains.
Income tax expense
Table of Contents
The Company recognized income tax expense of $17.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $28.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The reduction in income tax expense in the current year was primarily due to the recognition of a $3.4 million tax benefit associated with the release of state valuation allowances and a $3.3 million tax benefit associated with the remeasurement of deferred taxes for changes in state tax apportionment, both of which resulted from a change in tax status during the year, a $2.0 million increase in excess tax benefits from stock compensation activity and the effects of lower pre-tax earnings. Including these items, the Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 14.5%, compared to 22.9% in 2020. For further discussion, see Note 10 – Income Taxes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Income from continuing operations
Income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $4.5 million, or 5%, compared to the prior year, largely due to a $11.5 million decrease in income tax expense, the $2.8 million increase in other income and the $1.2 million reduction in interest expense, partially offset by the recognition of the $10.3 million pension settlement charge and the reduced operating income.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $180.5 million, compared to $182.2 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 14.9%, compared to 16.1% in the prior year.

Year ended December 31, 2021 vs. year ended December 31, 2020
Total orders increased by $457.3 million, or 54%, for the year ended December 31, 2021. U.S. orders increased by $416.6 million, or 63%, primarily due to improvements in orders for sewer cleaners, street sweepers, dump truck bodies, safe-digging trucks, trailers, industrial vacuum loaders, metal extraction support equipment and road-marking and line-removal equipment of $103.9 million, $67.6 million, $46.7 million, $37.3 million, $24.7 million, $21.3 million, $15.1 million and $10.4 million, respectively. In addition, upon acquiring OSW, Ground Force and Deist, we acquired a backlog of U.S. orders aggregating to $36.3 million, while aftermarket demand also increased by $36.3 million. Non-U.S. orders increased by $40.7 million, or 22%, primarily due to a $17.2 improvement in aftermarket demand, increases in orders for sewer cleaners, dump truck bodies, and industrial vacuum loaders of $7.9 million, $6.9 million, and $3.5 million, respectively, and a $11.9 million favorable foreign currency translation impact. In addition, upon acquiring OSW, Ground Force and Deist, we acquired a backlog of non-U.S. orders aggregating to $5.0 million. Partially offsetting these improvements was a $14.3 million reduction in orders for refuse trucks, primarily associated with the timing of large fleet orders in the prior-year period.
Net sales increased by $88.2 million, or 10%, for the year ended December 31, 2021. U.S. sales increased by $58.2 million, or 8%, largely due to a $40.1 million increase in aftermarket revenues and a $22.1 million increase in sales of dump truck bodies, partially offset by a $12.0 million reduction in shipments of sewer cleaners. Non-U.S. sales increased by $30.0 million, or 18%, primarily due to a $15.7 million improvement in aftermarket revenues, a $5.3 million increase in sales of dump truck bodies and a $12.2 million favorable foreign currency translation impact, partially offset by a $6.7 million reduction in shipments of street sweepers.
Cost of sales increased by $90.1 million, or 13%, for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to increased sales volumes, inclusive of current-year acquisition effects, higher material costs, an $11.6 million unfavorable foreign currency translation impact and a $3.8 million increase in depreciation expense. Including these factors, gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 21.1%, compared to 23.3% in the prior year, with the impact of higher material costs and production inefficiencies associated with supply chain disruptions being partially offset by pricing actions and a more favorable sales mix, associated with the increase in aftermarket demand.
SEG&A expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 2%, for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to the addition of expenses from current-year acquisitions. As a percentage of net sales, SEG&A expenses decreased from 8.6% in the prior year, to 8.0% in the current year.
Operating income decreased by $3.8 million, or 3%, for the year ended December 31, 2021, largely due to a $1.9 million reduction in gross profit, the $1.4 million increase in SEG&A expenses and a $1.3 million increase in amortization expense, partially offset by the non-recurrence of $0.7 million of restructuring charges that were recognized in the prior year and a $0.1 million decrease in acquisition-related costs.
Backlog was $576.4 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $282.5 million at December 31, 2020.

Total orders increased by $34.4 million, or 17%, for the year ended December 31, 2021. U.S. orders increased by $15.6 million, or 12%, compared to the prior year, driven by improvements in orders for public safety equipment and industrial signaling equipment of $12.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively, partially offset by a $2.9 million reduction in orders for warning systems. Non-U.S. orders increased by $18.8 million, or 23%, due to improvements in orders for public safety equipment and industrial signaling equipment of $15.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, as well as a $2.7 million favorable foreign currency translation impact, partially offset by a $2.7 million reduction in orders for warning systems.
Net sales decreased by $5.8 million, or 3%, for the year ended December 31, 2021. U.S. sales decreased by $3.7 million, or 3%, driven by reductions in sales of warning systems and public safety equipment of $4.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in sales of industrial signaling equipment. Non-U.S. sales decreased by $2.1 million, or 2%, largely due to a $6.4 million reduction in sales of public safety equipment, partially offset by an increase in sales of warning systems of $1.7 million, as well as a $2.2 million favorable foreign currency translation impact.
Cost of sales decreased by $2.8 million, or 2%, for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily related to lower sales volumes, partially offset by a $1.6 million unfavorable foreign currency translation impact and higher material and freight costs. Gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 36.9%, compared to 37.3% in the prior year, with the decrease primarily attributable to the impact of higher material and freight costs.
SEG&A expenses increased by $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a percentage of net sales, SEG&A expenses were 21.2% in the current year, compared with 20.6% in the prior year.

Backlog was $52.5 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $21.4 million at December 31, 2020.
Corporate Expense
Corporate operating expenses were $22.5 million, $28.4 million and $30.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, corporate operating expenses decreased by $5.9 million, primarily due to a $4.1 million decrease in acquisition and integration-related expenses, of which $3.5 million related to a reduction in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration, as well as lower incentive-based compensation costs.
The Company’s hearing loss litigation has historically been managed by the Company’s legal staff resident at the corporate office and not by management at either segment. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting, which provides that segment reporting should follow the management of the item and that certain expenses may be corporate expenses, these legal expenses (which are not part of the normal operating activities of any of our reportable segments) are reported and managed as corporate expenses.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company uses its cash flow from operations to fund growth and to make capital investments that sustain its operations, reduce costs, or both. Beyond these uses, remaining cash is used to pay down debt, repurchase shares, fund dividend payments and make pension contributions. The Company may also choose to invest in the acquisition of businesses. In the absence of significant unanticipated cash demands, we believe that the Company’s existing cash balances, cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the 2019 Credit Agreement will provide funds sufficient for these purposes. The net cash flows associated with the Company’s rental equipment transactions are included in cash flow from operating activities.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $40.5 million, $81.7 million and $31.6 million as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, $18.2 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents held by subsidiaries outside the U.S. typically are held in the currency of the country in which it is located. The Company uses this cash to fund the operating activities of its foreign subsidiaries and for further investment in foreign operations. Generally, the Company has considered such cash to be indefinitely reinvested in its foreign operations and the Company’s current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate such cash to fund U.S. operations. However, in the event that these funds were needed to fund U.S. operations or to satisfy U.S. obligations, they generally could be repatriated. The repatriation of these funds may cause the Company to incur additional U.S. income tax expense, dependent on income tax laws and other circumstances at the time any such amounts were repatriated.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $101.8 million, $136.2 million and $103.1 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The reduction in cash generated by operating activities in 2021 compared to the prior year was primarily due to a $13.2 million increase in income tax payments associated with tax planning initiatives, as well as differences in the timing of certain payments, with the prior year benefiting from the deferral of $7.3 million of payroll tax payments under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, of which, $3.7 million was remitted in the current year. The year-over-year change also reflects increases in working capital, primarily due to the strategic stocking of critical inventory components, such as chassis, to support demand levels and partially mitigate current supply chain constraints.
Net cash used for investing activities totaled $168.7 million, $34.4 million and $84.4 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In each of the years presented, cash was used to fund the purchase of properties and equipment, with $37.4 million, $29.7 million and $35.4 million of capital expenditures in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2021 included the acquisition of the Company’s Elgin, Illinois manufacturing facility for $19.8 million, whereas capital expenditures in 2020 and 2019 included the expansion of a number of the Company’s other production facilities. In addition, as discussed further in Note 2 – Acquisitions to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company completed three acquisitions during 2021 for aggregate initial consideration of $131.8 million, excluding cash acquired. In 2020, the Company paid $6.2 million to acquire certain assets and operations of Public Works Equipment and Supply, Inc. (“PWE”) and received $0.8 million as part of the finalization of certain post-closing adjustments in connection with the acquisition of MRL, which it acquired in 2019 for an initial $49.6 million, net of cash acquired.
Net cash of $26.4 million was provided by financing activities in 2021, compared to a net cash usage of $53.4 million and $24.6 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively. In 2021, the Company borrowed $70.5 million under its revolving credit facility, primarily to fund current-year acquisitions, and received $4.2 million from stock option exercises. The Company also funded cash dividends and share repurchases of $22.0 million and $15.4 million, respectively, and redeemed $10.7 million of stock in order to remit funds to tax authorities to satisfy employees’ tax withholdings following the vesting of stock-based compensation and the exercise of stock options. In 2020, the Company paid down $11.8 million of net borrowings, funded cash dividends and share repurchases of $19.4 million and $13.7 million, respectively, and redeemed $9.1 million of stock in order to remit funds to tax authorities to satisfy employees’ minimum tax withholdings. In 2019, the Company increased net borrowings by $7.4 million, primarily to fund the acquisition of MRL. In addition, the Company funded payments of $10.3 million relating to acquisitions completed in 2016, paid cash dividends of $19.3 million, incurred $1.0 million of debt refinancing costs, repurchased $1.0 million of treasury stock, and redeemed $2.1 million of stock to satisfy employees’ tax withholdings.
On July 30, 2019, the Company entered into the 2019 Credit Agreement, by and among the Company (the “U.S. Borrower”) and certain of its foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing lender, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as syndication agent, and the other lenders and parties signatory thereto.
The 2019 Credit Agreement is a $500 million revolving credit facility, maturing on July 30, 2024, that provides for borrowings in the form of loans or letters of credit up to the aggregate availability under the facility, with a sub-limit of $75 million for letters of credit. The 2019 Credit Agreement allows for the Borrowers to borrow in denominations of U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros or British Pounds (with borrowings in non-U.S. currencies subject to a sublimit of $200 million). In addition, the Company may cause the commitments to increase by up to an additional $250 million, subject to the approval of the applicable
Table of Contents
lenders providing such additional financing. Borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.
The Company’s material domestic subsidiaries provide guarantees for all obligations of the Borrowers under the 2019 Credit Agreement, which is secured by a first priority security interest in (i) all existing or hereafter acquired domestic property and assets of the U.S. Borrower and material domestic subsidiaries, (ii) the stock or other equity interests in each of the material domestic subsidiaries and (iii) 65% of outstanding voting capital stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries, subject to certain exclusions.
Borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or a Eurocurrency or SONIA daily rate (as each is defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from zero to 0.75% for base rate borrowings and 1.00% to 1.75% for Eurocurrency or SONIA daily rate borrowings. The Company must also pay a commitment fee to the lenders ranging between 0.10% to 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the $500 million revolving credit facility along with other standard fees. Letter of credit fees are payable on outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the applicable Eurocurrency or SONIA daily rate margin plus other customary fees.
The Company is subject to certain net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio financial covenants under the 2019 Credit Agreement that are to be measured at each fiscal quarter-end. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of December 31, 2021. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes a series of “covenant holiday” periods, which allow for the temporary increase of the minimum net leverage ratio following the completion of a permitted acquisition, or a series of acquisitions, when the aggregate consideration over a period of twelve months exceeds $75 million. In addition, the 2019 Credit Agreement includes customary negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, restricting or limiting the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: (i) make non-ordinary course dispositions of assets; (ii) make certain fundamental business changes, such as mergers, consolidations or any similar combination; (iii) make restricted payments, including dividends and stock repurchases; (iv) incur indebtedness; (v) make certain loans and investments; (vi) create liens; (vii) transact with affiliates; (viii) enter into sale/leaseback transactions; (ix) make negative pledges; and (x) modify subordinated debt documents.
Under the 2019 Credit Agreement, restricted payments, including dividends and stock repurchases, shall be permitted if (i) the Company’s leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.25; (ii) the Company is in compliance with all other financial covenants; and (iii) there are no existing defaults under the 2019 Credit Agreement. If its leverage ratio is more than 3.25, the Company is still permitted to fund (i) up to $35 million of dividend payments and stock repurchases in any fiscal year; and (ii) an incremental $50 million of other cash payments in the aggregate during the term of the 2019 Credit Agreement.
The 2019 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Borrowers may be required immediately to repay all amounts outstanding under the 2019 Credit Agreement and the commitments from the lenders may be terminated.
As of December 31, 2021, there was $280.7 million of cash drawn and $10.1 million of undrawn letters of credit under the 2019 Credit Agreement, with $209.2 million of net availability for borrowings.
The following table summarizes the gross borrowings and gross payments under the Company’s revolving credit facilities:
| For the Years Ended December 31, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |||
| Gross borrowings | $ | 214.0 | $ | 82.6 | $ | 84.0 |
| Gross payments | 143.5 | 94.4 | 76.6 |
Aggregate maturities of total borrowings due amount to approximately $0.6 million in 2022, $0.5 million in 2023, $281.2 million in 2024, and $0.5 million in 2025. The weighted average interest rate on long-term borrowings was 1.5% at December 31, 2021.
The Company paid interest of $3.9 million in 2021, $5.4 million in 2020 and $7.8 million in 2019.
The Company paid income taxes of $35.5 million in 2021, $22.3 million in 2020 and $25.7 million in 2019.
Cash dividends of $22.0 million, $19.4 million and $19.3 million were declared and paid to stockholders in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Table of Contents
On February 16, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of its University Park, Illinois manufacturing facility for approximately $28 million. Excluding this acquisition, the Company anticipates that capital expenditures for 2022 will be in the range of $25 million to $30 million. The Company believes that its financial resources and major sources of liquidity, including cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity, will be adequate to meet its operating needs, capital needs and financial commitments.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The following table summarizes the Company’s contractual obligations and payments due by period as of December 31, 2021:
| Payments Due by Period | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

(a) Amounts represent estimated contractual interest payments on outstanding long-term debt.
(b) Amounts include contractual obligations associated with lease arrangements with an initial term of twelve months or less, which are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For further discussion, see Note 4 – Leases to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
(c) Purchase obligations primarily relate to commercial chassis and other contracts in the ordinary course of business.
(d) The Company expects to contribute up to $1.0 million to the non-U.S. benefit plan in 2022, which represents the minimum required contribution. The Company does not currently expect to make any contributions to the U.S. benefit plan in 2022. Future contributions to the plans will be based on such factors as (i) annual service cost, (ii) the financial return on plan assets, (iii) interest rate movements that affect discount rates applied to plan liabilities and (iv) the value of benefit payments made. Due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the potential future cash outflows associated with these plans, the Company is unable to provide a reasonably reliable estimate of the amounts and periods in which any additional liabilities might be paid.
(e) Represents the fair value of the contingent earn-out payments associated with the acquisitions of MRL and Deist. For further discussion, see Note 2 – Acquisitions to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
(f) As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a liability of approximately $1.2 million for unrecognized tax benefits. For further discussion, see Note 10 – Income Taxes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Due to the uncertainties related to these tax matters, the Company generally cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period of cash settlement for this liability. As such, the potential future cash outflows are not included in the table above. We do not expect any significant change to our unrecognized tax benefits as a result of potential expiration of statute of limitations and settlements with tax authorities.
The following table summarizes the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements and the notional amount by expiration period as of December 31, 2021:
| Notional Amount by Expiration Period | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | Total | Less than<br>1 Year | 2-3 Years | 4-5 Years | ||||

| Total off-balance sheet arrangements | $ | 31.3 | $ | 28.8 | $ | 1.7 | $ | 0.8 |
(a) Financial standby letters of credit largely relate to casualty insurance policies for the Company’s workers’ compensation, automobile, general liability and product liability policies. Performance standby letters of credit primarily represent guarantees of performance of certain subsidiaries that engage in transactions with foreign customers.
(b) Performance and bid bonds primarily relate to guarantees of performance of certain subsidiaries that engage in transactions with domestic and foreign customers.
(c) Relates to certain transactions that the Company has entered into involving the sale of equipment to certain of its customers which included (i) guarantees to repurchase the equipment for a fixed price at a future date and (ii) guarantees to repurchase the equipment from the third-party lender in the event of default by the customer. For further discussion, see Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and (iii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company considers the following policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to its net assets. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31, 2021.
In testing the goodwill of its reporting units for potential impairment, the Company applies either a qualitative or quantitative test, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.
A qualitative approach may be applied when the Company concludes that it is not “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. In conducting a qualitative assessment, the Company analyzes a variety of events or factors that may influence the fair value of the reporting unit, including, but not limited to: the results of prior quantitative assessments performed; changes in the carrying amount; actual and projected financial performance; relevant market data for both the Company and its guideline comparable companies; industry outlook; and macroeconomic conditions. Significant judgment is used to evaluate the totality of these events and factors to make the determination of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. In this situation, the Company would not be required to perform the quantitative impairment test described below.
A quantitative approach is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and no impairment charge is required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, this difference is recorded as an impairment charge not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of its reporting units using both the income and market approaches.
Under the income approach, the key assumptions include projected sales, cost of sales, operating expenses and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). These assumptions are determined by management utilizing our internal operating plan, including growth rates for revenues and operating expenses and margin assumptions. An additional key assumption under this approach is the discount rate, which is determined by reviewing current risk-free rates of capital and current market interest rates and by evaluating the risk premium relevant to the reporting unit. If the Company’s assumptions relative to growth rates were to change, the fair value calculation may change, which could result in impairment.
Under the market approach, the Company estimates fair value using marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping of publicly traded companies and from pricing multiples implied from sales of companies similar to the Company’s reporting units. The Company’s selection of comparable guideline companies is a key assumption underlying the market approach. Similar to the income approach discussed above, sales, cost of sales, operating expenses, EBITDA and their respective growth rates are also key assumptions utilized. The market prices of the Company’s common stock and other guideline companies are additional key inputs. If these market prices increase, the estimated market value would increase. Conversely, if market prices decrease, the estimated market value would decrease.
The results of these two methods are weighted based upon management’s evaluation of the relevance of the two approaches.
Although the Company believes its estimates of fair value are reasonable, actual financial results could differ from estimated financial results due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting units, the amount of any goodwill impairment charge, or both. The Company also compares the sum of the estimated fair values of its reporting units to the overall fair value of the Company implied by its market capitalization. This comparison provides an indication that, in total, assumptions and estimates are reasonable. Future declines in the overall market value of the Company may also result in a conclusion that the fair value of one or more reporting units has declined below its carrying value.
In 2021, the Company performed a combination of qualitative and quantitative impairment tests to assess the goodwill of its reporting units for potential impairment. For one reporting unit, a quantitative impairment test was performed, using a combination of the income and market approaches to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The valuation was prepared
Table of Contents
by a third-party valuation specialist. One measure of the sensitivity of assumptions used in the impairment analysis is the amount by which each reporting unit “passed” (fair value exceeds the carrying value). The fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by more than 20%, and, therefore, no impairment was recognized. For its other reporting units, the Company applied the qualitative approach to assess the goodwill of its reporting units for potential impairment and concluded that it was not “more likely than not” that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units were less than their carrying values. Accordingly, further quantitative testing was not required to be performed.
The Company had no goodwill impairments in 2021, 2020 or 2019. For all reporting units, a 10% decrease in the estimated fair value would have had no effect on the carrying value of goodwill at the annual measurement date in 2021. However, adverse changes to the Company’s business environment and future cash flow could cause us to record impairment charges in future periods, which could be material. See Note 8 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a summary of the Company’s goodwill by segment.
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
An intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful life is not amortized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis at year-end, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset could be below its carrying amount. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets include trade names associated with acquisitions.
In testing the indefinite-lived intangibles assets for potential impairment, the Company applies either a qualitative test, or a quantitative test, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. A qualitative approach may be applied when the Company concludes that it is not “more likely than not” that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than their carrying value. A quantitative impairment test consists of comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss would be recognized for the carrying amount in excess of its fair value.
Significant judgment is applied when evaluating whether an intangible asset has an indefinite useful life and in testing for impairment. The Company primarily uses the relief from royalty model to estimate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets. The relief from royalty model requires management to make a number of business and valuation assumptions including future revenue growth and royalty rates.
In 2021, the Company performed a combination of qualitative and quantitative impairment tests over its indefinite-lived intangible assets. The fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset that was quantitatively tested for impairment exceeded its carrying value by approximately 50%, and, therefore, no impairment was recognized. This valuation was prepared by a third-party valuation specialist. Further, the Company concluded that it was not “more likely than not” that the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets that were qualitatively tested for impairment were less than the carrying amounts. Accordingly, further quantitative testing was not required to be performed.
The Company had no indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments in 2021, 2020 or 2019. Although the Company believes its estimates of fair value are reasonable, actual financial results could differ from estimated financial results due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates. The use of alternative estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the estimated fair value of the assets and potentially result in different impacts to the Company’s results of operations. Actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates.
See Note 8 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a summary of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied; generally this occurs at a point in time, with the transfer of control of the Company’s products or services to customers. For most of the Company’s product sales, these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped; however, occasionally control passes later or earlier than shipment due to customer contract or letter of credit terms. In circumstances where credit is extended, payment terms generally range from 30 to 120 days and customer deposits may be required.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring products or providing services. Expected returns and allowances are estimated and recognized based primarily on an analysis of historical experience, with Net sales presented net of such returns and allowances.
The Company enters into sales arrangements that may provide for multiple performance obligations to a customer. These arrangements may include software and non-software components that function together to deliver the products’ essential
Table of Contents
functionality. The Company identifies all performance obligations that are to be delivered separately under the sales arrangement and allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company uses an observable price to determine the standalone selling price or a cost plus margin approach when one is not available. In general, performance obligations include hardware, integration and installation services. The allocated revenue for each performance obligation is recognized as such performance obligations are satisfied.
Net sales include sales of products and billed freight related to product sales. Freight has not historically comprised a material component of Net sales. The Company has elected to account for such shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost and not as a separate performance obligation. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are recorded on a net basis and are excluded from Net sales.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. To mitigate this risk, the Company may utilize derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and is not party to leveraged derivatives contracts.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has certain debt instruments which subject it to market risk associated with movements in interest rates. The fair value of the Company’s total debt obligations held at December 31, 2021 was $282.8 million. From time to time, the Company may enter into interest rate swaps as a means of fixing the floating interest rate component on its variable-rate debt. At December 31, 2021, the Company had one interest rate swap outstanding. That swap had a notional amount of $75.0 million, and fixed the floating interest rate component on $75.0 million of the Company’s variable-rate debt. See Note 9 – Debt to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a description of the Company’s debt agreements and interest rate swaps that were in place during 2021. A hypothetical 1% increase or decrease in variable interest rates on the Company’s total debt obligations as of December 31, 2021 would increase or decrease annual interest expense by approximately $2.1 million.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
Although the majority of the Company’s sales, expenses and cash flow are transacted in U.S. dollars, the Company has exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates, primarily the Canadian Dollar, Euro and British pound. The impact of currency movements on the Company’s financial results is largely mitigated by natural hedges in its operations. The Canadian operations of JJE primarily conduct business in Canadian dollars. Almost all other sales of product from the U.S. to other parts of the world are denominated in U.S. dollars. Sales from and within other currency zones are predominantly transacted in the currency of the country sourcing the product or service. Approximately 76% of the Company’s net sales are conducted within the U.S. and are transacted in U.S. dollars. The Company estimates that a 10% appreciation of the U.S. dollar against other currencies would reduce full-year net sales by approximately 2% and operating income by approximately 2%.
The Company may also have foreign currency exposures related to buying and selling in currencies other than the local currency in which it operates and to certain balance sheet positions. If such transactional or balance sheet exposures are material, the Company may enter into matching foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to protect against variability in exchange rates.

Goodwill - Refer to Notes 1 and 8 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
In testing the goodwill of its reporting units for potential impairment, the Company applies either a qualitative or quantitative test, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. A qualitative approach may be applied when the Company concludes that it is not “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value.
A quantitative approach is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount (“quantitative assessment”).
For reporting units tested for impairment using the quantitative assessment, the Company determines the fair value of each reporting unit using both the income approach and the market approach. The income approach requires management to make a number of business and valuation assumptions for each reporting unit including annual assumptions of projected sales, cost of sales, operating expenses, earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), and discount rates. The market approach requires management to estimate fair value using marketplace fair value data derived from a comparable industry grouping of publicly traded companies and from pricing multiples implied from sales of companies similar to the Company’s reporting units (“market multiples”). The Company’s goodwill balance was $432.2 million as of December 31, 2021. No impairment was recognized in 2021.
Table of Contents
We identified the valuation of goodwill for one of the Company’s reporting units as a critical audit matter due to the reporting unit’s historical performance as compared to projections and because the determination of reporting unit fair value was based on significant assumptions that are sensitive to changes and are affected by expected future market and economic conditions. Auditing management’s judgments used in the quantitative assessment regarding significant assumptions related to projected sales, cost of sales, operating expenses, and EBITDA (“forecasts”) as well as the selection of market multiples applied to management’s projected sales and EBITDA estimates for this reporting unit required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the Company’s forecasts and the selection of market multiples for this reporting unit included the following, among others:
•We tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls over the annual goodwill impairment assessment, including those over the forecasts and the market multiples.
•We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast projected sales, cost of sales, operating expenses, and EBITDA by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.
•We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasts by comparing the forecasts to:
◦Internal communications to management and the Board of Directors.
◦Comparing the forecasts to historical results, third-party economic research, industry performance, and peer company performance.
◦Actual results from the October 31, 2021, annual measurement date to December 31, 2021.
•We performed sensitivity analyses to evaluate the risk of impairment if key assumptions are changed.
•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology and (2) market multiples by performing certain procedures, that included:
◦Evaluating whether the fair value models being used are appropriate considering the Company’s circumstances and valuation premise identified.
◦Evaluating the market multiples by considering (1) the selected comparable industry grouping of publicly traded companies, (2) the selected sales of companies similar to the Company’s reporting units, and (3) the adjustments made for differences in growth prospects and risk profiles between the reporting unit and the comparable industry grouping of publicly traded companies.
◦Testing the underlying source information and mathematical accuracy of the calculations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Federal Signal Corporation
Oak Brook, Illinois
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Federal Signal Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, of the Company and our report dated March 1, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
As described in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment, the internal control over financial reporting at OSW Equipment & Repair, LLC (“OSW”), Ground Force Manufacturing LLC (“Ground Force”), and Deist Industries, Inc. (“Deist”), which were acquired on February 17, 2021, October 4, 2021, and December 30, 2021, respectively, and whose financial statements constitute approximately 4% of total assets and 4% of net sales of the consolidated financial statement amounts (excluding lease-related assets, goodwill and intangible assets, which were integrated into the Company’s control environment) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at OSW, Ground Force, and Deist.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of the Business
Federal Signal Corporation was founded in 1901 and was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1969. References herein to the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer collectively to Federal Signal Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Products manufactured and services rendered by the Company are divided into two reportable segments: Environmental Solutions Group and Safety and Security Systems Group. The individual operating businesses are organized as such because they share certain characteristics, including technology, marketing, distribution and product application, which create long-term synergies.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. All references to 2021, 2020 and 2019 relate to the fiscal year unless otherwise indicated.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of Federal Signal Corporation and its subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. During the current year, the Company is separately presenting Amortization expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Accordingly, prior-year amounts have been reclassified from Selling, engineering, general and administrative (“SEG&A”) expenses to conform to current-year presentation.
New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2021
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis, depending on the area covered by the update. The Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Non-U.S. Operations
Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, other than those whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, are translated at current exchange rates with the related translation adjustments reported in stockholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Accounts within the Consolidated Statements of Operations are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates.
The Company incurs foreign currency transaction gains or losses, related to transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, which are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Other (income) expense, net. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company realized foreign currency transaction gains of $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and (iii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Table of Contents
FEDERAL SIGNAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (CONTINUED)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity and highly liquid nature of these instruments.
Accounts Receivable
The Company carries accounts receivable at the face amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses as a result of a customer’s inability to make required payments. Management evaluates the aging of the accounts receivable balances, the financial condition of its customers, historical trends and the time outstanding of specific balances to estimate the amount of accounts receivables that may not be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision.
Inventories
The Company’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Included in the cost of inventories are raw materials, direct wages and associated production costs.
Properties and Equipment
Properties and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Useful lives generally range from eight to 40 years for buildings and three to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining life of the lease or the useful life of the improvement. Depreciation expense is primarily included as a component of Cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, with depreciation expense associated with certain assets used for administrative purposes being presented within SEG&A expenses. Depreciation expense, which includes depreciation on rental equipment, was $39.5 million, $35.2 million and $32.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Properties and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Rental Equipment
The Company enters into lease agreements with customers related to the rental of certain equipment. All of these leasing agreements are classified as operating leases and are for periods generally not to exceed five years. In accounting for these leases, the cost of the equipment purchased or manufactured by the Company is recorded as an asset and is depreciated over its estimated useful life. Rental income is recognized ratably over the term of the underlying leases.
Rental equipment is depreciated to an estimated residual value on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets and is reviewed for potential impairment whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares non-discounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on a non-discounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Rental equipment includes certain equipment that is manufactured by the Company and subsequently transferred to the rental fleet, as well as equipment purchased from third-party manufacturers, for the purpose of renting to end-customers. The related cash flow activity associated with these transactions is reflected within operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to its net assets. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31, 2021.
In testing the goodwill of its reporting units for potential impairment, the Company applies either a qualitative or quantitative test, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.
Table of Contents
FEDERAL SIGNAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (CONTINUED)
A qualitative approach may be applied when the Company concludes that it is not “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. In this situation, the Company would not be required to perform the quantitative impairment test described below.
A quantitative approach is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and no impairment charge is required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, this difference is recorded as an impairment charge not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of its reporting units using both the income and market approaches.
Under the income approach, the key assumptions include projected sales, cost of sales, operating expenses and the discount rate. Under the market approach, the Company estimates fair value using marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping. The results of these two methods are weighted based upon management’s evaluation of the relevance of the two approaches.
In 2021 and 2020, the Company performed a combination of qualitative and quantitative impairment tests to assess the goodwill of its reporting units for potential impairment. For one reporting unit, a quantitative impairment test was performed, using a combination of the income and market approaches to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying values by more than 20%, and therefore, no impairment was recognized. For its other reporting units, the Company applied the qualitative approach to assess the goodwill of its reporting units for potential impairment and concluded that it was not “more likely than not” that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units were less than their carrying values. Accordingly, further quantitative testing was not required to be performed.
In 2019, the Company applied the quantitative approach to assess the goodwill of its reporting units for potential impairment, using a combination of the income and market approaches to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The fair values of the Company’s reporting units exceeded their carrying values by more than 20% and, therefore, no impairment was recognized.
The Company had no goodwill impairments in 2021, 2020 or 2019. See Note 8 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for a summary of the Company’s goodwill by segment.
Intangible Assets
Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment if indicators exist in a manner similar to that described above for Rental Equipment.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis at October 31, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset could be below its carrying amount. In testing the indefinite-lived intangibles assets for potential impairment, the Company applies either a qualitative test, or a quantitative test, in accordance with ASC 350. A qualitative approach may be applied when the Company concludes that it is not “more likely than not” that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than their carrying value. A quantitative impairment test consists of comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss would be recognized for the carrying amount in excess of its fair value.
In 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company performed a combination of qualitative and quantitative impairment tests over its indefinite-lived intangible assets. The fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets that were quantitatively tested for impairment significantly exceeded their carrying value, and therefore, no impairment was recognized. Further, the Company concluded that it was not “more likely than not” that the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets that were qualitatively tested for impairment were less than the carrying amounts. Accordingly, further quantitative testing was not required to be performed.
The Company had no indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments in 2021, 2020 or 2019. See Note 8 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for a summary of the Company’s intangible assets.
Warranties
Warranties are classified as either assurance-type or service-type warranties. A warranty is considered an assurance-type warranty if it provides the customer with assurance that the product will function as intended. A warranty that goes above and beyond ensuring basic functionality is considered a service-type warranty. The Company offers certain limited warranties that are assurance-type warranties and extended service arrangements that are service-type warranties. Assurance-type warranties

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (CONTINUED)
are not accounted for as separate performance obligations under the revenue model. If a service-type warranty is sold with a product or separately, revenue is recognized over the life of the warranty.
Sales of many of the Company’s products include assurance-type warranties based on terms that are generally accepted in the Company’s marketplaces. The Company records provisions for estimated warranty costs, which are included within Cost of sales, at the time of sale based on historical experience. The Company periodically adjusts these provisions to reflect actual experience. Infrequently, a material warranty issue can arise which is beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience. The Company records costs related to these issues as they become probable and estimable.
The Company also sells optional service-type warranty contracts that extend coverage beyond the initial term of the express warranty period. At the time of sale, revenue related to the service-type warranty contract is deferred and typically recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, deferred revenue associated with service-type warranty contracts was $4.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively, and was included within Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs under service-type warranty contracts are expensed as incurred.
Workers’ Compensation and Product Liability Reserves
Due to the nature of the Company’s manufacturing and products, the Company is subject to claims for workers’ compensation and product liability in the normal course of business. The Company is self-funded for a portion of these claims. The Company establishes a reserve using a third-party actuary for any known outstanding matters, including a reserve for claims incurred but not yet reported. The amount and timing of cash payments relating to these claims are considered to be reliably determinable given the nature of the claims and historical claim volumes to support the actuarial assumptions and judgments used to derive the expected loss payment patterns. As such, the reserves recorded are discounted using a risk-free rate that matches the average duration of the claims.
The Company has not established a reserve for potential losses resulting from the firefighter hearing loss litigation, with the exception of certain estimated losses that have been recognized related to settlement discussions (see Note 13 – Legal Proceedings). If the Company is not successful in its defense after exhausting all appellate options, it would record a charge for such claims, to the extent they exceed insurance recoveries, when the related losses become probable and estimable.
Pensions
The Company sponsors domestic and foreign defined benefit pension plans. Key assumptions used in the accounting for these employee benefit plans include the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and estimates of future mortality of plan participants.
The weighted-average discount rate used to measure pension liabilities and costs is selected using a hypothetical portfolio of high-quality bonds that would provide the necessary cash flow to match the projected benefit payments of the plans. The discount rate represents the rate at which our benefit obligations could effectively be settled as of the year-end measurement date. The weighted-average discount rate used to measure pension liabilities increased from 2020 to 2021. See Note 11 – Pension and Other Post-Employment Plans for further discussion.
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on historical and expected returns for the asset classes in which the plans are invested. The Company references published mortality tables and scales in determining its estimate of future mortality.
Revenue Recognition
See Note 3 – Revenue Recognition for discussion regarding the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policies.
Product Shipping Costs
Product shipping costs are expensed as incurred and are included within Cost of sales.
Research and Development
The Company invests in research to support development of new products and the enhancement of existing products and services. Expenditures for research and development by the Company were $11.4 million in 2021, $12.2 million in 2020 and $13.6 million in 2019, and are included within SEG&A expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company has various stock-based compensation plans, described more fully in Note 15 – Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on historical forfeitures of equity awards and adjusts the rate to reflect changes in facts and circumstances, if any. The Company revises its estimated forfeiture rate if actual forfeitures differ from its initial estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax benefit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the period in which the deferred tax liability or asset is expected to be settled or realized. A valuation allowance is established or maintained when, based on currently available information and other factors, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return for Federal Signal Corporation and its eligible domestic subsidiaries. The Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries file income tax returns in their respective local jurisdictions. The Company accounts for taxes on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) as a period expense in the year in which it is incurred.
Accounting standards on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes address the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under the guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company presents interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of Income tax expense.
Litigation Contingencies
The Company is subject to various claims, including pending and possible legal actions for product liability and other damages, and other matters arising in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. The Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that the outcome of such claims and actions in the aggregate will not have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of such matters, if unfavorable, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. Professional legal fees are expensed when incurred. The Company accrues for contingent losses when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. In the event that estimates or assumptions of contingent losses are different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information.
NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS
The Company’s acquisitions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. In accordance with this guidance, the fair value of consideration transferred is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the completion of the acquisition, with the remaining amount recognized as goodwill. A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company’s judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact the Company’s results of operations.
Under ASC 805-10, acquisition-related costs (e.g., advisory, legal, valuation and other professional fees) are not included as a component of consideration transferred, but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred. Acquisition-related costs are included as a component of Acquisition and integration-related (benefits) expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Acquisitions Completed in 2021
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company completed three acquisitions. The assets and liabilities of each of the acquisitions have been consolidated into the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021, and the results

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (CONTINUED)
of operations of each of the acquisitions have been included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, within the Environmental Solutions Group, from their respective acquisition dates through December 31, 2021. Collectively, these acquisitions generated net sales and operating income of $44.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2021. All of the acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations in accordance with ASC 805.
Acquisition of Deist
On December 30, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and operations of each of Deist Industries, Inc.; Bucks Fabricating, LLC; Roll-Off Parts, LLC and Switch-N-Go, LLC (collectively, “Deist”). Deist designs, manufactures and sells interchangeable truck body systems for class 3-7 vehicles in the work truck industry and a full line of waste hauling products, including front/rear loading containers and specialty roll-off containers. The Company expects that the Deist acquisition will strengthen its specialty vehicle market position by expanding its geographic footprint and enhancing its portfolio of dump truck body and trailer product offerings.
The initial cash consideration paid by the Company to acquire Deist was approximately $36.5 million, inclusive of certain preliminary closing adjustments and a payment of $4.1 million to acquire Deist’s manufacturing facilities. In addition, there is a contingent earn-out payment of up to $7.5 million, based upon the achievement of certain financial targets over a specified performance period. Any additional closing adjustments are expected to be finalized before the end of the second quarter of 2022.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s purchase price allocation reflects various provisional estimates that were based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date and the filing date of this Form 10-K. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed; however, the determination of those fair values is not yet finalized. Thus, the preliminary measurements of fair value set forth in the table below are subject to change during the measurement period as valuations are finalized. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but not more than one year from the acquisition date.

Acquisitions Completed in 2020 and 2019
Acquisition of Public Works Equipment and Supply, Inc.
On June 12, 2020, the Company acquired certain assets and operations of Public Works Equipment and Supply, Inc. (“PWE”), a distributor of maintenance and infrastructure equipment covering North Carolina, South Carolina and parts of Tennessee.

NOTE 3 – REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied; generally this occurs at a point in time, with the transfer of control of the Company’s products or services to customers. For most of the Company’s product sales, these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped; however, occasionally control passes later or earlier than shipment due to customer contract or letter of credit terms. In circumstances where credit is extended, payment terms generally range from 30 to 120 days and customer deposits may be required.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring products or providing services. Expected returns and allowances are estimated and recognized based primarily on an analysis of historical experience, with Net sales presented net of such returns and allowances.
The Company enters into sales arrangements that may provide for multiple performance obligations to a customer. These arrangements may include software and non-software components that function together to deliver the products’ essential functionality. The Company identifies all performance obligations that are to be delivered separately under the sales arrangement and allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company uses an observable price to determine the standalone selling price or a cost plus margin approach when one is not available. In general, performance obligations include hardware, integration and installation services. The allocated revenue for each performance obligation is recognized as such performance obligations are satisfied.
Net sales include sales of products and billed freight related to product sales. Freight has not historically comprised a material component of Net sales. The Company has elected to account for such shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost and not as a separate performance obligation. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are recorded on a net basis and are excluded from Net sales.
During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s Environmental Solutions recorded net sales of $4.2 million, $1.3 million and $3.3 million respectively, relating to products sold to Ingenieria Y Servicios Orbitec SPA, an entity which is majority-owned by affiliates of the former owners of Joe Johnson Equipment, Inc. and Joe Johnson Equipment (USA), Inc. (collectively, “JJE”).

(a) Includes net sales from the sale of new and used vehicles and equipment, including sales of rental equipment.
(b) Represents revenues from vehicle and equipment lease arrangements with customers, recognized in accordance with Topic 842.
(c) Primarily includes revenues from services such as maintenance and repair work and the sale of extended warranty contracts.
Contract Balances
The Company recognizes contract liabilities when cash payments, such as customer deposits, are received in advance of the Company’s satisfaction of the related performance obligations. Contract liabilities are recognized as Net sales when the related performance obligations are satisfied, which generally occurs within three to six months of the cash receipt. Contract liability balances are not materially impacted by any other factors. The Company’s contract liabilities were $25.3 million and $17.0 million, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Contract assets, such as unbilled receivables, were not material as of any of the periods presented herein.
Practical Expedients
As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than a year, the Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component.
The Company has also elected the practical expedient under ASC 340-40-25-4 and recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as sales commissions, as expense when incurred as the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less.
Further, as permitted by ASC 606-10-50-14, the Company does not disclose the value of its remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.
NOTE 4 – LEASES
The Company leases certain facilities within the U.S., Europe and Canada from which the Company manufactures vehicles and equipment, and provides sales, service and/or equipment rentals. Some of the Company’s lease agreements contain options to renew. The Company also leases vehicles and various other equipment. The Company’s lease agreements may contain lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In connection with acquisitions completed in recent years, the Company has entered into certain lease agreements for facilities owned by affiliates of the sellers. All lease agreements contain an annual rent that is considered to be market-based. Total rent paid under these arrangements was $2.5 million, $1.5 million and $0.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020

and 2019, respectively. The Company’s total lease liabilities under these agreements were $17.3 million and $4.7 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental collateralized borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Implicit rates are used when readily determinable. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term.
The following table summarizes the Company’s total lease costs and supplemental cash flow information arising from operating lease transactions:

(a) Long-term borrowings include current portions of finance lease obligations of $0.6 million and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
On July 30, 2019, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “2019 Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company (the “U.S. Borrower”) and certain of its foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing lender, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as syndication agent, and the other lenders and parties signatory thereto.
The 2019 Credit Agreement is a $500 million revolving credit facility, maturing on July 30, 2024, that provides for borrowings in the form of loans or letters of credit up to the aggregate availability under the facility, with a sub-limit of $75 million for letters of credit. The 2019 Credit Agreement allows for the Borrowers to borrow in denominations of U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros or British Pounds (with borrowings in non-U.S. currencies subject to a sublimit of $200 million). In addition, the Company may cause the commitments to increase by up to an additional $250 million, subject to the approval of the applicable lenders providing such additional financing. Borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.
The Company’s material domestic subsidiaries provide guarantees for all obligations of the Borrowers under the 2019 Credit Agreement, which is secured by a first priority security interest in (i) all existing or hereafter acquired domestic property and assets of the U.S. Borrower and material domestic subsidiaries, (ii) the stock or other equity interests in each of the material domestic subsidiaries and (iii) 65% of outstanding voting capital stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries, subject to certain exclusions.
Borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or a Eurocurrency or SONIA daily rate (as each is defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from zero to 0.75% for base rate borrowings and 1.00% to 1.75% for Eurocurrency or SONIA daily rate borrowings. The Company must also pay a commitment fee to the lenders ranging between 0.10% to 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the $500 million revolving credit facility along with other standard fees. Letter of credit fees are payable on outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the applicable Eurocurrency or SONIA daily rate margin plus other customary fees.
The Company is subject to certain net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio financial covenants under the 2019 Credit Agreement that are to be measured at each fiscal quarter-end. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of December 31, 2021. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes a series of “covenant holiday” periods, which allow for the temporary increase of the minimum net leverage ratio following the completion of a permitted acquisition, or a series of acquisitions, when the aggregate consideration over a period of twelve months exceeds $75 million. In addition, the 2019 Credit Agreement includes customary negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, restricting or limiting the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: (i) make non-ordinary course dispositions of assets; (ii) make certain fundamental business changes, such as mergers, consolidations or any similar combination; (iii) make restricted payments, including dividends and stock repurchases; (iv) incur indebtedness; (v) make certain loans and investments; (vi) create liens; (vii) transact with affiliates; (viii) enter into sale/leaseback transactions; (ix) make negative pledges; and (x) modify subordinated debt documents.
Under the 2019 Credit Agreement, restricted payments, including dividends and stock repurchases, shall be permitted if (i) the Company’s leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.25; (ii) the Company is in compliance with all other financial covenants; and (iii) there are no existing defaults under the 2019 Credit Agreement. If its leverage ratio is more than 3.25, the Company is still permitted to fund (i) up to $35 million of dividend payments and stock repurchases in any fiscal year; and (ii) an incremental $50 million of other cash payments in the aggregate during the term of the 2019 Credit Agreement.
The 2019 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Borrowers may be required immediately to repay all amounts outstanding under the 2019 Credit Agreement and the commitments from the lenders may be terminated.

On December 23, 2021, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the 2019 Credit Agreement. The amendment was largely administrative in nature, including certain language to address the pending transition from LIBOR. There were no changes to the term or the Company’s borrowing capacity under the 2019 Credit Agreement.
As of December 31, 2021, there was $280.7 million of cash drawn and $10.1 million of undrawn letters of credit under the 2019 Credit Agreement, with $209.2 million of net availability for borrowings.
The following table summarizes the gross borrowings and gross payments under the Company’s revolving credit facilities:

Aggregate maturities of total borrowings due amount to approximately $0.6 million in 2022, $0.5 million in 2023, $281.2 million in 2024 and $0.5 million in 2025. The weighted average interest rate on long-term borrowings was 1.5% at December 31, 2021.
The Company paid interest of $3.9 million in 2021, $5.4 million in 2020 and $7.8 million in 2019.
Interest Rate Swap
On October 2, 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap (the “Swap”) with a notional amount of $75.0 million, as a means of fixing the floating interest rate component on $75.0 million of its variable-rate debt. The Swap is designated as a cash flow hedge, with a maturity date of July 30, 2024.
As a result of the application of hedge accounting treatment, all unrealized gains and losses related to the derivative instrument are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and are reclassified into operations in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Hedge effectiveness is assessed quarterly. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve (Level 2 inputs) and measured on a recurring basis in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of the Swap was a liability of $0.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, which was included in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2021, an unrealized pre-tax gain of $2.3 million was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, whereas during the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, unrealized pre-tax losses of $3.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Summary
The Company recognized income tax expense of $17.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $28.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The reduction in income tax expense in the current year was primarily due to the recognition of a $3.4 million tax benefit associated with the release of state valuation allowances and a $3.3 million tax benefit associated with the remeasurement of deferred taxes for changes in state tax apportionment, both of which primarily resulted from a change in tax status and other tax planning activities executed during the year, a $2.0 million increase in excess tax benefits from stock compensation activity and the effects of lower pre-tax earnings. Including these items, the Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 14.5%, compared to 22.9% in 2020.
The Company recognized income tax expense of $28.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $30.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The reduction in income tax expense in 2020 was primarily due to lower earnings and a $1.9 million increase in excess tax benefits from stock compensation activity, partially offset by the non-recurrence of a $0.8 million tax benefit from the release of state deferred tax valuation allowance recognized in 2019. The Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended for the year ended December 31, 2020 was 22.9%, compared to 21.8% in 2019.
The Company paid income taxes of $35.5 million in 2021, $22.3 million in 2020 and $25.7 million in 2019.

The deferred tax asset for tax loss and tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2021 includes state net operating loss carryforwards of $6.5 million and state income tax credits of $0.3 million, both of which will begin to expire in 2022, foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $9.8 million, which will begin to expire in 2025, and U.S. foreign tax credits of $2.8 million, which will begin to expire in 2023.
The deferred tax asset for tax loss and tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2020, included state net operating loss carryforwards of $6.6 million, state income tax credits of $0.2 million, foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $11.1 million, and U.S. foreign tax credits of $3.1 million.
The $62.0 million of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021, for which no valuation allowance is recorded, is anticipated to be realized through future taxable income or the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences recorded as deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2021. Should the Company determine that it is not more-likely-than-not to be able to realize its remaining deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be recorded in the period such determination is made.
Generally, the Company has considered cash and cash equivalents held by subsidiaries outside the U.S. to be indefinitely reinvested in its foreign operations and the Company’s current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate such cash to fund U.S. operations. However, in the event that these funds were needed to fund U.S. operations or to satisfy U.S. obligations, they generally could be repatriated. The repatriation of these funds may cause the Company to incur additional U.S. income tax expense, dependent on income tax laws and other circumstances at the time any such amounts were repatriated. As of December 31, 2021, the Company continues to assert that its undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested. It is not practicable to determine the income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were not permanently reinvested.
Valuation Allowances
ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires that the future realization of deferred tax assets depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in future periods. Possible sources of taxable income include taxable income in carryback periods, the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences recorded as a deferred tax liability, tax-planning strategies that generate future income or gains in excess of anticipated losses in the carryforward period and projected future taxable income. If, based upon all available evidence, both positive and negative, it is more likely than not such deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation

allowance is recorded. Significant weight is given to positive and negative evidence that is objectively verifiable. A company’s three-year cumulative loss position is significant negative evidence in considering whether deferred tax assets are realizable and the accounting guidance restricts the amount of reliance the Company can place on projected taxable income to support the recovery of the deferred tax assets.
We continually evaluate the need to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based on our assessment of whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation of future taxable income. Appropriate consideration is given to all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the total valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets decreased by $3.7 million, primarily due to the aforementioned release of state valuation allowances. At December 31, 2021, the total valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets was $5.1 million, comprised of a $1.0 million valuation allowance recorded against state net operating loss carryforwards, a $2.8 million valuation allowance recorded against U.S. foreign tax credits, a $1.2 million valuation allowance recorded against foreign net deferred tax assets, and a $0.1 million valuation allowance recorded against other deferred tax assets.

The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. At each of December 31, 2021 and 2020, accruals for interest and penalties amounting to $0.4 million, are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets but are not included in the table above. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties of $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, were included within Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At each of December 31, 2021 and 2020, unrecognized tax benefits of $0.1 million, were included as a component of Deferred tax liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
All of the unrecognized tax benefits of $1.2 million at each of December 31, 2021 and 2020, would impact our annual effective tax rate, if recognized. We do not expect any significant change to our unrecognized tax benefits as a result of potential expiration of statute of limitations or settlements with tax authorities within the next twelve months.
Status of Tax Returns
We file U.S., state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The 2018 through 2020 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal tax authorities, whereas the 2017 through 2020 tax years generally remain subject to examination by most state tax authorities. In significant foreign jurisdictions, the tax years from 2017 through 2020 generally remain subject to examination by their respective tax authorities.
NOTE 11 — PENSION AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT PLANS
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
The Company and its subsidiaries sponsor two defined benefit pension plans covering certain salaried and hourly employees. These plans have been closed to new participants for a number of years. Benefits under these plans are primarily based on final average compensation and years of service as defined within the provisions of the individual plans. As a result of plan amendments, the latest of which was in 2008, the only new benefits that were being accrued through the end of 2016 were salary increases for a limited group of participants. Those benefits ceased at the end of 2016, at which point all existing plans became fully frozen.

On November 5, 2021, the Company purchased a group annuity contract from an insurance company, under which approximately $25 million of the projected benefit obligation of the U.S. benefit plan was transferred to the insurance company. In this transaction, the insurance company assumed responsibility for pension benefits and administration for approximately 800 retirees or their beneficiaries. The transaction was funded on November 15, 2021 with existing assets of the U.S. benefit plan. As a result, the Company recognized a pension settlement charge of $10.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2021.

(a) Actual return on plan assets of the U.S. benefit plan for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, was net of fees, commissions and other expenses paid from plan assets of $2.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
As more fully described within Note 18 – Fair Value Measurements, the Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value for the U.S. benefit plan:
•Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on deposit and a money market fund, that invests principally in short-term instruments. The money-market fund is valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of the shares in the fund.
•Equity investments represent domestic and foreign securities, including common stock, which are publicly traded on active exchanges and are valued based on quoted market prices. Certain equity securities, which are valued using a model that takes the underlying security’s “best” price, divides it by the applicable exchange rate and multiplies the result by a depository receipt factor, are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
•Fixed income investments include corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and treasury bonds. Corporate bonds are valued using pricing models that include bids provided by brokers or dealers, benchmark yields, base spreads and reported trades. Asset-backed securities are valued using models with readily observable data as inputs. Treasury bonds are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.
•Real estate investments include public real estate investment trusts (“REIT”) and exchange traded REIT funds, which are publicly traded on active exchanges and are valued based on quoted market prices.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value for the non-U.S. benefit plan:
•Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on deposit and a money market fund, that invests principally in short-term instruments. The money-market fund is valued at the NAV of the shares in the fund.
•Diversified investment funds and insurance-linked securities are valued based on a daily NAV per share measured by the fund sponsor and used as the basis for current transactions.
•Fixed income investments include corporate bonds and asset-backed securities. Corporate bonds are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets or other readily observable market data. Asset-backed securities are valued using models with readily observable data as inputs.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The Company maintains a structured investment strategy for its U.S. and non-U.S. benefit plans, which are designed to achieve certain target asset allocations depending on the plans’ relative funded status.
As of December 31, 2021, the target asset allocations for the U.S. benefit plan are (i) between 54% and 69% in fixed income investments, (ii) between 29% and 44% in equity investments and (iii) between 0% and 20% in cash and cash equivalents.
Plan assets for the non-U.S. benefit plan consist principally of a portfolio of diversified investment funds, corporate bonds and insurance-linked securities. As of December 31, 2021, the target asset allocations for the non-U.S. benefit plan assets are generally between 65% and 75% in fixed income investments and cash and cash equivalents, and between 25% and 35% in equity investments.

As the Company’s benefit plans are fully frozen, all plan participants are now considered to be inactive. As a result, the associated actuarial losses and prior service costs that are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss are being amortized into net periodic benefit cost over the remaining average life expectancy of plan participants. The Company expects $2.8 million of the actuarial losses and $0.1 million of the prior service costs to be amortized from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost in 2022.
The Company currently expects to contribute up to $1.0 million to the non-U.S. benefit plan in 2022. The Company does not currently expect to make any contributions to the U.S. benefit plan in 2022. Future contributions to the plans will be based on such factors as annual service cost, the financial return on plan assets, interest rate movements that affect discount rates applied to plan liabilities and the value of benefit payments made.
The following summarizes the benefits expected to be paid under the Company’s benefit plans in each of the next five years, and in aggregate for the five years thereafter:

Defined Contribution Retirement Plan
The Company also sponsors a defined contribution retirement plan (the “401(k) plan”) covering a majority of its employees. Participation is via automatic enrollment and employees may elect to opt out of the 401(k) plan. Company contributions to the 401(k) plan are based on an employee’s years of service, as well as the percentage of employee contributions. The Company’s cost of the 401(k) plan was $8.9 million in 2021, $7.7 million in 2020 and $7.9 million in 2019.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company also provides a deferred compensation plan to certain employees. The deferred compensation plan is a non-qualified, unfunded defined contribution plan, which provides participants with benefits that would have been provided under the 401(k) plan, but could not be provided due to compensation limits for qualified plans under the Internal Revenue Code.

December 31, 2021 and 2020, deferred compensation liabilities of $16.8 million and $13.8 million, respectively, were included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, primarily within Long-term pension and other post-retirement benefit liabilities.
Multi-Employer Pension Plan
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company withdrew from the IAM National Pension Fund, a multi-employer pension plan that provided defined benefits to employees under a U.S. collective bargaining agreement. As a result, the Company incurred a $0.3 million withdrawal charge, which was recognized as a component of Other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The withdrawal liability was settled in full during the year ended December 31, 2021. Following this withdrawal, the Company no longer participates in any multi-employer pension plans.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company withdrew from the Sheet Metal Workers’ National Pension Fund, a multi-employer pension plan that provided defined benefits to employees under a U.S. collective bargaining agreement. As a result, the Company incurred a $2.3 million withdrawal charge, which was recognized as a component of Other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The withdrawal liability was settled in full during the year ended December 31, 2020.
NOTE 12 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Financial Commitments
The Company provides indemnifications and other guarantees in the ordinary course of business, the terms of which range in duration and often are not explicitly defined. Specifically, the Company is occasionally required to provide letters of credit and bid and performance bonds to various customers, principally to act as security for retention levels related to casualty insurance policies and to guarantee the performance of subsidiaries that engage in export and domestic transactions. At December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding performance and financial standby letters of credit, as well as outstanding bid and performance bonds, aggregating to $28.6 million. If any such letters of credit or bonds are called, the Company would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit or bond. The Company believes the likelihood of any currently outstanding letter of credit or bond being called is remote.
The Company has transactions involving the sale of equipment to certain of its customers which include (i) guarantees to repurchase the equipment for a fixed price at a future date and (ii) guarantees to repurchase the equipment from the third-party lender in the event of default by the customer. As of December 31, 2021, both the single year and maximum potential cash payments the Company could be required to make to repurchase equipment under these agreements amounted to $2.7 million. The Company’s risk under these repurchase arrangements would be partially mitigated by the value of the products repurchased as part of the transaction. Historical cash requirements and losses associated with these obligations have not been significant, but could increase if customer defaults exceed current expectations.
The Company has certain lease agreements for facilities owned by affiliates which include provisions requiring the Company to guarantee any remaining lease payments in the event of default. As of December 31, 2021, the total amount of future payments guaranteed under these agreements was approximately $1.7 million. The Company believes the likelihood of defaulting on these leases is remote.
Product Warranties
The Company issues product performance warranties to customers with the sale of its products. The specific terms and conditions of these warranties vary depending upon the product sold and country in which the Company does business, with warranty periods generally ranging from one to five years. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the sale of the related product is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include (i) the number of units under warranty, (ii) historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and (iii) costs per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s warranty liabilities:

NOTE 13 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is subject to various claims, including pending and possible legal actions for product liability and other damages, and other matters arising in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews uninsured material legal claims against the Company and accrues for the costs of such claims as appropriate in the exercise of management’s best judgment and experience. However, due to a lack of factual information available to the Company about a claim, or the procedural stage of a claim, it may not be possible for the Company to reasonably assess either the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome of the claim or to reasonably estimate the amount of loss should there be an unfavorable outcome. Therefore, for many claims, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss.
The Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that the outcome of such claims and actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of such matters, if unfavorable, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.
Hearing Loss Litigation
The Company has been sued for monetary damages by firefighters who claim that exposure to the Company’s sirens has impaired their hearing and that the sirens are therefore defective. There were 33 cases filed during the period of 1999 through 2004, involving a total of 2,443 plaintiffs, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. These cases involved more than 1,800 firefighter plaintiffs from locations outside of Chicago. In 2009, six additional cases were filed in Cook County, involving 299 Pennsylvania firefighter plaintiffs. During 2013, another case was filed in Cook County involving 74 Pennsylvania firefighter plaintiffs.
The trial of the first 27 of these plaintiffs’ claims occurred in 2008, whereby a Cook County jury returned a unanimous verdict in favor of the Company.
An additional 40 Chicago firefighter plaintiffs were selected for trial in 2009. Plaintiffs’ counsel later moved to reduce the number of plaintiffs from 40 to nine. The trial for these nine plaintiffs concluded with a verdict against the Company and for the plaintiffs in varying amounts totaling $0.4 million. The Company appealed this verdict. On September 13, 2012, the Illinois Appellate Court rejected this appeal. The Company thereafter filed a petition for rehearing with the Illinois Appellate Court, which was denied on February 7, 2013. The Company sought further review by filing a petition for leave to appeal with the Illinois Supreme Court on March 14, 2013. On May 29, 2013, the Illinois Supreme Court issued a summary order declining to accept review of this case. On July 1, 2013, the Company satisfied the judgments entered for these plaintiffs, which resulted in final dismissal of these cases.
A third consolidated trial involving eight Chicago firefighter plaintiffs occurred during November 2011. The jury returned a unanimous verdict in favor of the Company at the conclusion of this trial.
Following this trial, on March 12, 2012 the trial court entered an order certifying a class of the remaining Chicago Fire Department firefighter plaintiffs for trial on the sole issue of whether the Company’s sirens were defective and unreasonably dangerous. The Company petitioned the Illinois Appellate Court for interlocutory appeal of this ruling. On May 17, 2012, the Illinois Appellate Court accepted the Company’s petition. On June 8, 2012, plaintiffs moved to dismiss the appeal, agreeing with the Company that the trial court had erred in certifying a class action trial in this matter. Pursuant to plaintiffs’ motion, the Illinois Appellate Court reversed the trial court’s certification order.
Thereafter, the trial court scheduled a fourth consolidated trial involving three firefighter plaintiffs, which began in December 2012. Prior to the start of this trial, the claims of two of the three firefighter plaintiffs were dismissed. On December 17, 2012, the jury entered a complete defense verdict for the Company.

Following this defense verdict, plaintiffs again moved to certify a class of Chicago Fire Department plaintiffs for trial on the sole issue of whether the Company’s sirens were defective and unreasonably dangerous. Over the Company’s objection, the trial court granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification on March 11, 2013 and scheduled a class action trial to begin on June 10, 2013. The Company filed a petition for review with the Illinois Appellate Court on March 29, 2013 seeking reversal of the class certification order.
On June 25, 2014, a unanimous three-judge panel of the First District Illinois Appellate Court issued its opinion reversing the class certification order of the trial court. Specifically, the Appellate Court determined that the trial court’s ruling failed to satisfy the class-action requirements that the common issues of the firefighters’ claims predominate over the individual issues and that there is an adequate representative for the class. During a status hearing on October 8, 2014, plaintiffs represented to the Court that they would again seek to certify a class of firefighters on the issue of whether the Company’s sirens were defective and unreasonably dangerous. On January 12, 2015, plaintiffs filed motions to amend their complaints to add class action allegations with respect to Chicago firefighter plaintiffs, as well as the approximately 1,800 firefighter plaintiffs from locations outside of Chicago. On March 11, 2015, the trial court granted plaintiffs’ motions to amend their complaints. On April 24, 2015, the cases were transferred to Cook County chancery court to decide the class certification issues. On March 23, 2018, plaintiffs filed a motion to certify as a class all firefighters from the Chicago Fire Department who have filed lawsuits in this matter. The Company objected to certification and the parties engaged in discovery and other matters related to this motion. Thereafter, on December 20, 2021, the parties executed a settlement agreement to resolve claims of approximately 462 firefighters still involved in the Cook County litigation, as well as the DuPage County litigation discussed below. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company has agreed to pay a lump sum of $0.2 million to resolve the claims of these firefighters. The Company has agreed to pay this lump sum amount based upon its assessment of firefighters who meet minimal bilateral hearing loss standards, which is a subset of the larger group referenced above. The settlement agreement does not require the payment of any attorney fees by the Company. The settlement agreement also provides that plaintiffs’ attorney will withdraw from representing firefighters who do not agree to the settlement. The Company has discretion to void the settlement agreement if less than 93% of these firefighters agree to settle their claims; the settlement agreement will be voided if less than 70% of eligible firefighters agree to the settlement. The settlement agreement is subject to review and approval by the Court.
The Company also filed motions to dismiss cases involving firefighters who worked for fire departments located outside of the State of Illinois based on improper venue. On February 24, 2017, the Circuit Court of Cook County entered orders dismissing the cases of 1,770 such firefighter plaintiffs from the jurisdiction of the State of Illinois. Pursuant to these orders, these plaintiffs had six months thereafter to refile their cases in jurisdictions where these firefighters are located. Prior to this six-month deadline, attorneys representing some of these plaintiffs contacted the Company regarding possible settlement of their cases. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company entered into a global settlement agreement with two attorneys who represented approximately 1,090 of these plaintiffs. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company offered $700 per plaintiff to settle these cases and 717 plaintiffs accepted this offer as a final settlement. The settlement agreement did not require the payment of any attorney fees by the Company. The attorneys representing these plaintiffs agreed to withdraw from representing plaintiffs who did not respond to the settlement offer. It is the Company’s position that the non-settling plaintiffs who failed to timely refile their cases following the February 2017 dismissal by the Circuit Court of Cook County are now barred from doing so by the statute of limitations. The Company filed a venue motion seeking to transfer to DuPage County cases involving 10 plaintiffs who reside and work in Illinois but outside of Cook County. The Court granted this motion on June 28, 2017.
The Company was also sued on this issue outside of the Cook County, Illinois venue. Between 2007 and 2009, a total of 71 lawsuits involving 71 plaintiffs were filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. Three of these cases were dismissed pursuant to pretrial motions filed by the Company. Another case was voluntarily dismissed. Prior to trial in four cases, the Company paid nominal sums to obtain dismissals.
Three trials occurred in Philadelphia involving these cases filed in 2007 through 2009. The first trial involving one of these plaintiffs occurred in 2010, when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. The jury found that the Company’s siren was not defectively designed, but that the Company negligently constructed the siren. The jury awarded damages in the amount of less than $0.1 million. The Company appealed this verdict. Another trial, involving nine Philadelphia firefighter plaintiffs, also occurred in 2010 when the jury returned a defense verdict for the Company as to all claims and all plaintiffs involved in that trial. The third trial, also involving nine Philadelphia firefighter plaintiffs, was completed during 2010 when the jury returned a defense verdict for the Company as to all claims and all plaintiffs involved in that trial.
Following defense verdicts in the last two Philadelphia trials, the Company negotiated settlements with respect to all remaining filed cases in Philadelphia at that time, as well as other firefighter claimants represented by the attorney who filed the

Philadelphia cases. On January 4, 2011, the Company entered into a Global Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the law firm of the attorney representing the Philadelphia claimants, on behalf of 1,125 claimants the firm represented (the “Claimants”) and who had asserted product claims against the Company (the “Claims”). Three hundred eight of the Claimants had lawsuits pending against the Company in Cook County, Illinois.
The Settlement Agreement provided that the Company pay a total amount of $3.8 million (the “Settlement Payment”) to settle the Claims (including the costs, fees and other expenses of the law firm in connection with its representation of the Claimants), subject to certain terms, conditions and procedures set forth in the Settlement Agreement. In order for the Company to be required to make the Settlement Payment: (i) each Claimant who agreed to settle his or her claims had to sign a release acceptable to the Company (a “Release”), (ii) each Claimant who agreed to the settlement and who was a plaintiff in a lawsuit, had to dismiss his or her lawsuit with prejudice, (iii) by April 29, 2011, at least 93% of the Claimants identified in the Settlement Agreement must have agreed to settle their claims and provide a signed Release to the Company and (iv) the law firm had to withdraw from representing any Claimants who did not agree to the settlement, including those who filed lawsuits. If the conditions to the settlement were met, but less than 100% of the Claimants agreed to settle their Claims and sign a Release, the Settlement Payment would be reduced by the percentage of Claimants who did not agree to the settlement.
On April 22, 2011, the Company confirmed that the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement had been met and made a payment of $3.6 million to conclude the settlement. The amount was based upon the Company’s receipt of 1,069 signed releases provided by Claimants, which was 95% of all Claimants identified in the Settlement Agreement.
The Company generally denies the allegations made in the claims and lawsuits by the Claimants and denies that its products caused any injuries to the Claimants. Nonetheless, the Company entered into the Settlement Agreement for the purpose of minimizing its expenses, including legal fees, and avoiding the inconvenience, uncertainty and distraction of the claims and lawsuits.
During April through October 2012, 20 new cases were filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. These cases were filed on behalf of 20 Philadelphia firefighters and involved various defendants in addition to the Company. Five of these cases were subsequently dismissed. The first trial involving these 2012 Philadelphia cases occurred during December 2014 and involved three firefighter plaintiffs. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the Company. Following this trial, all of the parties agreed to settle cases involving seven firefighter plaintiffs set for trial during January 2015 for nominal amounts per plaintiff.
In January 2015, plaintiffs’ attorneys filed two new complaints in the Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on behalf of approximately 70 additional firefighter plaintiffs. The vast majority of the firefighters identified in these complaints were located outside of Pennsylvania. One of the complaints in these cases, which involved 11 firefighter plaintiffs from the District of Columbia, was removed to federal court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed all claims in this case on May 31, 2016. The Company thereafter moved to recover various fees and costs in this case, asserting that plaintiffs’ counsel failed to properly investigate these claims prior to filing suit. The Court granted this motion on April 25, 2017, awarding $0.1 million to the Company (the “Order”). After plaintiffs appealed this Order, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the lower court decision awarding fees and costs to the Company.
With respect to claims of other out-of-state firefighters involved in these two cases, the Company moved to dismiss these claims as improperly filed in Pennsylvania. The Court granted this motion and dismissed these claims on November 5, 2015. During August through December 2015, another nine new cases were filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. These cases involved a total of 193 firefighters, most of whom were located outside of Pennsylvania. The Company again moved to dismiss all claims filed by out-of-state firefighters in these cases as improperly filed in Pennsylvania. On May 24, 2016, the Court granted this motion and dismissed these claims. Plaintiffs appealed this decision and, on September 25, 2018, the appellate court reversed this dismissal. The Company then filed a petition with the appellate court requesting that the court reconsider its ruling. On December 7, 2018, the appellate court granted the Company’s petition and withdrew its prior decision. On June 25, 2020, the Court issued a decision affirming the trial court’s dismissal of these cases with prejudice.
On May 13, 2016, four new cases were filed in Philadelphia state court, involving a total of 55 Philadelphia firefighters who live in Pennsylvania. During August 2016, the Company settled a case for nominal amounts involving four Philadelphia firefighters that had been set for trial in Philadelphia state court during September 2016. During 2017, plaintiffs filed additional cases in the Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County, involving over 100 Philadelphia firefighter plaintiffs. During January 2017, plaintiffs filed a motion to consolidate and bifurcate, similar to a motion filed in the Pittsburgh hearing loss cases, as described below. The Company filed an opposition to this motion. These cases were then transferred to the mass tort

program in Philadelphia for pretrial purposes. Plaintiffs’ counsel thereafter dismissed several plaintiffs. During November 2017, a trial involving one Philadelphia firefighter occurred. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the Company in this trial. Prior to a dismissal of these cases pursuant to the Tolling Agreement, discussed below, there was a total of 75 firefighters involved in cases pending in the Philadelphia mass tort program.
During March 2014, an action also was brought in the Court of Common Pleas of Erie County, Pennsylvania on behalf of 61 firefighters. This case likewise involves various defendants in addition to the Company. After the Company filed pretrial motions, 33 Erie County firefighter plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their claims. Prior to a dismissal of these cases pursuant to the Tolling Agreement, discussed below, there was a total of 28 firefighters involved in cases filed in Erie County.
During August 2017, five cases involving 70 firefighter plaintiffs were filed in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. These cases involve firefighter plaintiffs who originally filed in Cook County several years ago and were dismissed pursuant to the Company’s forum nonconveniens motion.
On September 17, 2014, 20 lawsuits, involving a total of 193 Buffalo Fire Department firefighters, were filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Erie County. All of the cases filed in Erie County, New York were removed to federal court in the Western District of New York. Plaintiffs filed a motion to consolidate and bifurcate these cases, similar to the motion filed in the Pittsburgh hearing loss cases, as described below. The Company filed an opposition to the motion. During February 2015, a lawsuit involving one New York City firefighter plaintiff was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. The plaintiff named the Company as well as several other parties as defendants. That case subsequently was transferred to federal court in the Northern District of New York and thereafter dismissed. During April 2015 through January 2016, 29 new cases involving a total of 235 firefighters were filed in various counties in the New York City area. During December 2016 through October 2017, additional cases were filed in these jurisdictions. On February 5, 2018, the Company was served with a complaint in an additional case filed in Kings County, New York. This case involved one plaintiff. Prior to a dismissal of these cases pursuant to the Tolling Agreement, discussed below, there was a total of 536 firefighters involved in cases filed in the State of New York.
During November 2015, the Company was served with a complaint filed in Union County, New Jersey state court, involving 34 New Jersey firefighters. This case was transferred to federal court in the District of New Jersey. During the period from January through May 2016, eight additional cases were filed in various New Jersey state courts. Most of the firefighters in these cases resided in New Jersey and worked at New Jersey fire departments. During December 2016, a case involving one New Jersey firefighter was filed in the United States District Court of New Jersey. On May 2, 2017, plaintiffs filed a motion to consolidate and bifurcate in the pending federal court case in New Jersey. This motion was similar to bifurcation motions filed by plaintiffs in Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Philadelphia. The Court denied the motion as premature. Pursuant to a petition filed by both parties, all New Jersey state court cases were consolidated for pretrial purposes. Prior to a dismissal of these cases pursuant to the Tolling Agreement, discussed below, there was a total of 61 firefighters involved in cases filed in New Jersey.
During May through October 2016, nine cases were filed in Suffolk County, Massachusetts state court, naming the Company as a defendant. These cases involved 194 firefighters who lived and worked in the Boston area. During August 2017, plaintiffs filed additional cases in Suffolk County court. The Company moved to transfer various cases filed in Suffolk County to other counties in Massachusetts where plaintiffs resided and worked. Prior to a dismissal of these cases pursuant to the Tolling Agreement, discussed below, there was a total of 218 firefighters involved in cases filed in Massachusetts.
During August and September 2017, plaintiffs’ attorneys filed additional hearing loss cases in Florida. The Company was the only named defendant. These cases were filed in several different counties in Florida, including Tampa, Miami and Orlando municipalities. Prior to a dismissal of these cases pursuant to the Tolling Agreement, discussed below, there was a total of 166 firefighters involved in cases filed in Florida.
During April through July 2013, additional cases were filed in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on behalf of 247 plaintiff firefighters from Pittsburgh and against various defendants, including the Company. During May 2016, two additional cases were filed against the Company in Allegheny County involving 19 Pittsburgh firefighters. After the Company filed pretrial motions, the Court dismissed claims of 55 Pittsburgh firefighter plaintiffs. The Court scheduled trials for May, September and November 2016, for eight firefighters per trial. Prior to the first scheduled trial in Pittsburgh, the Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed all claims asserted by plaintiff firefighters involved in this trial. Following an appeal by the plaintiff firefighters, the appellate court affirmed this dismissal. The next trial for six Pittsburgh firefighters started on November 7, 2016. Shortly after this trial began, plaintiffs’ counsel moved for a mistrial because a key witness suddenly became unavailable. The Court granted this motion and rescheduled this trial for March 6, 2017. During January 2017, plaintiffs also moved to consolidate and bifurcate trials involving Pittsburgh firefighters. In particular, plaintiffs sought

one trial involving liability issues to apply to all Pittsburgh firefighters who filed suit against the Company. The Company filed an opposition to this motion. On April 18, 2017, the trial court granted plaintiffs’ motion to bifurcate the next Pittsburgh trial. Pursuant to a motion for clarification filed by the Company, the Court ruled that the bifurcation order would only apply to six plaintiffs who were part of the next trial group in Pittsburgh. The Company thereafter sought an interlocutory appeal of the Court’s bifurcation order. The appellate court declined to accept the appeal at that time. A bifurcated trial began on September 27, 2017 in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Prior to and during trial, two plaintiffs were dismissed, resulting in four plaintiffs remaining for trial. After approximately two weeks of trial, the jury found that the Company’s siren product was not defective or unreasonably dangerous and rendered a verdict in favor of the Company.
A second trial involving Pittsburgh firefighters began during January 2018. At the outset of this trial, plaintiffs’ attorneys, who represent all firefighters who have filed cases in Allegheny County, Philadelphia, Buffalo, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Florida, as described above, requested that the Company consider settlement of various cases. This trial was continued to allow the parties to further discuss possible settlement. During March 2018, the parties agreed in principle on a framework (the “Settlement Framework”) to resolve hearing loss claims and cases in all jurisdictions involved in the hearing loss litigation except in Cook County and Lackawanna County, and excluding one case involving one firefighter in New York City. The firefighters excluded from the Settlement Framework are represented by different attorneys. The Company has agreed to settle the cases in Lackawanna County and settled the case involving one firefighter in New York City for nominal amounts. Pursuant to the Settlement Framework, the Company would pay $700 to each firefighter who filed a lawsuit and is eligible to be part of the settlement. The Company would pay $300 to each firefighter who has not yet filed a case and is eligible to be part of the settlement. The settlement agreement does not include the payment of any attorney fees by the Company. To be eligible for settlement, among other things, firefighters must provide proof that they have high frequency noise-induced hearing loss. There are approximately 3,700 firefighters whose claims may be considered as part of this settlement, including approximately 1,320 firefighters who have ongoing filed lawsuits. This Settlement Framework was finalized in a global settlement agreement executed on November 4, 2019. Pursuant to this global settlement agreement, the parties are now in the process of determining how many of the approximately 3,700 firefighters will be eligible to participate in the settlement. In order to minimize the parties’ respective legal costs and expenses during this settlement process, on July 5, 2018, the parties entered into a tolling agreement (the “Tolling Agreement”). Pursuant to the Tolling Agreement, counsel for the settling firefighters agreed to dismiss the pending lawsuits in all jurisdictions except for the Allegheny County (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania cases, and the Company agreed to a tolling of any statute of limitations applicable to the dismissed cases. The Tolling Agreement continued in place until the parties executed the global settlement agreement on November 4, 2019. After execution of the global settlement agreement, the Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) cases were dismissed. The global settlement agreement requires plaintiffs’ attorneys to withdraw from representing firefighters who elect not to participate in this settlement.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company has recognized an estimated liability for the potential settlement amount. While it is reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of this matter may result in a loss in excess of the amount accrued, the incremental loss is not expected to be material.
From 2007 through 2009, firefighters also brought hearing loss claims against the Company in New Jersey, Missouri, Maryland and Kings County, New York. All of those cases, however, were dismissed prior to trial, including four cases in the Supreme Court of Kings County, New York that were dismissed upon the Company’s motion in 2008. On appeal, the New York appellate court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal of these cases.
NOTE 14 — EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, which requires that non-vested restricted stock containing non-forfeitable dividend rights should be treated as participating securities pursuant to the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income is reduced by the amount of dividends declared in the period for common stock and participating securities. The remaining undistributed earnings are then allocated to common stock and participating securities as if all of the net income for the period had been distributed. The amounts of distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were insignificant and did not materially impact the calculation of basic or diluted EPS.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the year.
Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and non-vested restricted stock awards outstanding for the year, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the year. The dilutive effect of common stock equivalents is determined using the more dilutive of the two-class method or alternative methods. We use the

treasury stock method to determine the potentially dilutive impact of our employee stock options and restricted stock units, and the contingently issuable method for our performance-based restricted stock unit awards.
For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, options to purchase 0.2 million, 0.5 million and 0.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, had an anti-dilutive effect on EPS, and accordingly, are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
The following table reconciles net income to basic and diluted EPS:

NOTE 15 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company’s stock compensation plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders and administered by the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “CBC”), provides for the grant of incentive stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based awards or units to key employees and directors. The plan, as amended, authorizes the grant of up to 11.0 million shares or units through April 2030. At December 31, 2021, approximately 5.8 million shares were available for future issuance under the plan.
The total compensation expense related to all grants awarded under the plan was $7.6 million, $8.4 million and $8.8 million, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The related income tax benefits recognized in earnings were $1.5 million, $1.7 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Stock Options
Stock options vest ratably (i.e. one-third annually) over the three years from the date of the grant. The cost of stock options, based on their fair value at the date of grant, is charged to expense over the respective vesting periods. Stock options normally become exercisable at a rate of one-third annually and in full on the third anniversary date. Under the plan, all options and rights must be exercised within ten years from date of grant. At the Company’s discretion, vested stock option holders are permitted to elect an alternative settlement method in lieu of purchasing common stock at the option price. The alternative settlement method permits the employee to receive, without payment to the Company, cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof equal to the excess of market value of common stock over the option purchase price. The Company has historically settled all such options in common stock and intends to continue to do so. Stock options do not have voting or dividend rights until such time that the options are exercised and shares have been issued.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $13.54, $7.86 and $8.48, respectively.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

| Risk free interest rate | 1.1 | % | 0.5 | % | 2.4 | % |
| Weighted average expected option life in years | 6.4 | 6.2 | 6.3 |
Dividend yields are based on historical dividend payments. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the options. The expected life of options represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and the Company’s historical exercise patterns.
The following summarizes stock option activity:

At December 31, 2021, options that have vested and are expected to vest totaled 1.3 million shares, with a weighted average exercise price of $23.31, and represent the sum of 1.0 million vested (or exercisable) options and 0.3 million options that are expected to vest. Options that are expected to vest are derived by applying the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumption against outstanding, unvested options as of December 31, 2021.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2021 was $27.1 million and $23.2 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $22.7 million, $13.9 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The related tax benefits were $5.7 million, $3.3 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Restricted Stock
Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units primarily cliff vest at the third anniversary from the date of grant, provided the recipient is still employed by the Company on the vesting date. The cost of restricted stock, based on the fair market value of the underlying shares determined using the closing market price on the date of grant, is charged to expense over the respective vesting periods. Shares associated with non-vested restricted stock awards have the same voting rights as the Company’s common stock and have non-forfeitable rights to dividends. Shares associated with non-vested restricted stock units do not have voting or dividend rights.
The following table summarizes restricted stock activity for the year ended December 31, 2021:
| Number of<br>Restricted Shares | Weighted Average<br>Price per Share | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | |||
| Outstanding and non-vested, at December 31, 2020 | 0.2 | $ | 26.18 |
| Granted | 0.1 | 42.59 | |
| Vested | (0.1) | 23.95 | |
| Forfeited | — | 30.06 | |
| Outstanding and non-vested, at December 31, 2021 | 0.2 | $ | 32.15 |
The total grant-date fair value of restricted stock that vested in the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $1.9 million, $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
The total compensation expense related to all restricted stock compensation plans was $2.6 million, $2.5 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, there was $2.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock that is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years.
Performance Awards
In each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock unit awards (“PSUs”) to certain executives and other non-executive officers. Performance targets associated with PSUs are set annually and approved by the CBC. At the Company’s discretion, actual payment of the awards earned shall be in cash or in common stock of the Company, or in a combination of both. The Company intends to settle all such awards by issuing shares of its common stock. The number of shares of common stock that the Company may issue in connection with these PSUs can range from 0% to 200% of target, depending upon achievement against the performance targets. Shares associated with non-vested PSUs do not have voting or dividend rights until issuance. The Company assesses the probability of vesting, based on expected achievement against these performance targets, on a quarterly basis.
The cost of PSUs, based on their fair market value determined using the closing market price on the date of grant, is charged to expense over the respective vesting periods, which is the three-year period ended December 31, 2021 for the 2019 grants, the three-year period ended December 31, 2022 for the 2020 grants and the three-year period ended December 31, 2023 for the 2021 grants.
The PSUs granted in 2021 have a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2023, in which the Company must achieve a certain cumulative EPS from continuing operations and a certain average return on invested capital (“ROIC”), which are performance conditions per ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. If earned, these shares would vest on December 31, 2023.
The PSUs granted in 2020 have a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2022, in which the Company must achieve a certain cumulative EPS from continuing operations and a certain average ROIC, which are performance conditions per ASC 718. If earned, these shares would vest on December 31, 2022.
The PSUs granted in 2019 had a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2021, in which a certain cumulative EPS from continuing operations and a certain average ROIC was targeted. The PSUs granted in 2019 became fully vested on December 31, 2021. Based on the achievement against targets over the three-year performance period, 94% of the target shares were earned. The underlying shares will be issued to participants in the first quarter of 2022.

NOTE 16 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has the authority to issue 90.0 million shares of common stock at a par value of $1 per share. The holders of common stock (i) may receive dividends subject to all of the rights of the holders of preference stock, (ii) shall be entitled to share ratably upon any liquidation of the Company in the assets of the Company, if any, remaining after payment in full to the holders of preference stock and (iii) receive one vote for each common share held and shall vote together share for share with the holders of voting shares of preference stock as one class for the election of directors and for all other purposes. The Company had 68.9 million and 67.8 million common shares issued as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Of those amounts, 60.9 million and 60.5 million common shares were outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The Board is also authorized to provide for the issuance of 0.8 million shares of preference stock at a par value of $1 per share.

The March 2020 stock repurchase program supplements the Board’s prior authorization under the November 2014 stock repurchase program, which remains in effect.
The stock repurchase programs are intended primarily to facilitate opportunistic purchases of Company stock as a means to provide cash returns to stockholders, enhance stockholder returns and manage the Company’s capital structure. Under its stock repurchase programs, the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time, shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Stock repurchases by the Company are subject to market conditions and other factors and may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time.

NOTE 17 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments. Business units are organized under each reportable segment because they share certain characteristics, such as technology, marketing, distribution and product application, which create long-term synergies. The principal activities of the Company’s reportable segments are as follows:
Environmental Solutions — Our Environmental Solutions Group is a leading manufacturer and supplier of a full range of street sweepers, sewer cleaners, industrial vacuum loaders, safe-digging trucks, high-performance waterblasting equipment, road-marking and line-removal equipment, dump truck bodies, trailers, and metal extraction support equipment. The Group manufactures vehicles and equipment in the U.S. and Canada that are sold under the Elgin®, Vactor®, Guzzler®, TRUVAC®, WestechTM, Jetstream®, Mark Rite Lines, Ox Bodies®, Crysteel®, J-Craft®, Duraclass®, Rugby®, Travis®, OSW, NTE, WTB, Ground Force, Bucks® and Switch-N-Go® brand names. Product offerings also include certain products manufactured by other companies, such as refuse and recycling collection vehicles, camera systems, ice resurfacing equipment and snow-removal equipment. Products are sold to both municipal and industrial customers either through a dealer network or direct sales to service customers generally depending on the type and geographic location of the customer. In addition to vehicle and equipment sales, the Group also engages in the sale of parts, service and repair, equipment rentals and training as part of a comprehensive aftermarket offering to its current and potential customers through its service centers located across North America. Our Environmental Solutions Group includes the aggregated results of two operating segments, including TBEI.
In addition, as discussed in Note 2 – Acquisitions, the Company completed the acquisitions of OSW, Ground Force and Deist during the year ended December 31, 2021. The assets and liabilities of OSW, Ground Force and Deist have been consolidated into the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021, while the post-acquisition results of operations of OSW and Ground Force have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations subsequent to their respective closing dates, within the Environmental Solutions Group. Given the proximity of the completion of the Deist acquisition to December 31, 2021, its post-acquisition results of operations were immaterial to the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company is in the process of determining the impact, if any, that the acquisitions completed in 2021 may have on its reportable segments.
Safety and Security Systems — Our Safety and Security Systems Group is a leading manufacturer and supplier of comprehensive systems and products that law enforcement, fire rescue, emergency medical services, campuses, military facilities and industrial sites use to protect people and property. Offerings include systems for community alerting, emergency vehicles, first responder interoperable communications and industrial communications. Specific products include public safety equipment, such as vehicle lightbars and sirens, industrial signaling equipment, public warning systems and general alarm/public address systems. Products are sold under the Federal SignalTM, Federal Signal VAMA®, and Victor® brand names. The Group operates manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Europe and South Africa.
Corporate contains those items that are not included in our reportable segments.
Net sales by reportable segment reflect sales of products and services to external customers, as reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Intersegment sales are insignificant. The Company evaluates performance based on operating income of the respective segment. Operating income includes all revenues, costs and expenses directly related to the segment involved. In determining reportable segment income, neither corporate nor interest expenses are included. Reportable segment depreciation and amortization expense, identifiable assets and capital expenditures relate to those assets that are utilized by the respective reportable segment. Corporate assets consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets and fixed assets. The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as those described in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Revenues attributed to customers located outside of the U.S. aggregated to $286.4 million in 2021, $258.6 million in 2020 and $268.5 million in 2019, of which sales exported from the U.S. aggregated to $77.0 million, $69.7 million and $72.8 million, respectively.

NOTE 18 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about valuation based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three levels of inputs are classified as follows:
•Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
•Level 2 — observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches within the fair value measurement framework. The valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value and their classification in the valuation hierarchy are summarized below:
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents primarily consist of time-based deposits and interest-bearing instruments with maturities of three months or less. The Company classified cash equivalents as Level 1 due to the short-term nature of these instruments and measured the fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Interest Rate Swaps
As described in Note 9 – Debt, the Company may, from time to time, execute interest rate swaps as a means of fixing the floating interest rate component on a portion of its floating-rate debt. The Company classifies its interest rate swaps as Level 2 due to the use of a discounted cash flow model based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve (Level 2 inputs) to calculate the fair value of the swaps.
Contingent Consideration
As further described in Note 2 – Acquisitions, the Company has contingent obligations to transfer up to $15.5 million and $7.5 million to the former owners of MRL and Deist, respectively, if specified financial results are met over future reporting periods (i.e., an earn-out).
Liabilities for contingent consideration are measured at fair value each reporting period, with the acquisition-date fair value included as part of the consideration transferred. Subsequent changes in fair value are included as a component of Acquisition and integration-related (benefits) expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Table of Contents
FEDERAL SIGNAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (CONTINUED)
The Company uses an income approach to value the contingent consideration obligation based on the present value of risk-adjusted future cash flows under either a scenario-based or option-pricing method, as appropriate. Due to the lack of relevant observable market data over fair value inputs, such as prospective financial information or probabilities of future events, the Company has classified the contingent consideration liability within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy outlined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.
The following tables summarize the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:

NOTE 19 — NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED)
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires companies to recognize and measure customer contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination as if the acquiring company originated the related revenue contracts. Prior to adopting this ASU, acquired contract assets and liabilities were measured at fair value. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the timing and effects of adopting this ASU and currently does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet adopted, are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
NOTE 20 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 16, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of its University Park, Illinois manufacturing facility for approximately $28 million. The Company had previously leased the facility under a lease that was due to expire at the end of June 2023.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of December 31, 2021.
Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2021.
(b)Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company completed the acquisitions of OSW and substantially all the assets and operations of Ground Force and Deist, as discussed in Note 2 – Acquisitions to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Management has excluded the internal controls over financial reporting for the acquired operations from its assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. The combined net sales and total assets for these acquisitions (excluding lease-related assets, goodwill and intangible assets, which were integrated into the Company’s control environment) represent approximately 4% of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2021.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and, as part of their audit, has issued its report, included herein, on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. See “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” under Item 8 of Part II of this Form 10-K.
(c)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
From time to time, the Company may make changes aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of the controls and to ensure that the systems evolve with the business. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.

This Agreement supersedes any applicable previously existing change-in-control severance agreement between the Company and the Executive. WHEREAS, the Executive is employed by the Company and will develop considerable experience and knowledge of the business and affairs of the Company concerning its policies, methods, personnel, and operations; and WHEREAS, the Company is desirous of assuring insofar as possible, that it will continue to have the benefit of the Executive’s services, and the Executive is desirous of having such assurances; and WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that circumstances may arise in which a Change in Control of the Company occurs, through acquisition or otherwise, thereby causing uncertainty of employment without regard to the Executive’s competence or past contributions. Such uncertainty may result in the loss of the valuable services of the Executive to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders; and WHEREAS, both the Company and the Executive are desirous that any proposal for a Change in Control or acquisition will be considered by the Executive objectively and with reference only to the business interests of the Company and its shareholders; and WHEREAS, the Executive will be in a better position to consider the Company’s best interests if the Executive is afforded reasonable security, as provided in this Agreement, against altered conditions of employment which could result from any such Change in Control or acquisition. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in this Agreement, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: Article 1.

Unless the Executive becomes Disabled, the Executive’s right to terminate employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness.. Executive must notify the Company within ninety (90) days of the existence of the Good Reason condition, and the Company shall have thirty (30) days to remedy the conditions. (o) “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. (p) “Person” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d). (q) “Qualifying Termination” means the Executive’s separation from service (as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the applicable regulations) due to any of the events described in Section 2.2 herein, the occurrence of which triggers the payment of Severance Benefits hereunder. (r) “Severance Benefits” mean the payment of severance compensation as provided in Section 2.3 herein. Article 2. Severance Benefits 2.1 Right to Severance Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company Severance Benefits as described in Section 2.3 herein, if there has been a Change in Control of the Company and, certain other Severance Benefits, if within twenty-four (24) calendar months thereafter the Executive’s employment with the Company shall end for any reason specified in Section 2.2 herein as being a Qualifying Termination. The Executive shall not be entitled to receive Severance Benefits if he is terminated for Cause, or if his employment with the Company ends due to death, Disability, or a voluntary termination of employment for reasons other than as specified in Section 2.2(b) herein. No Executive shall be entitled to receive duplicative severance benefits under any other Company- related plans or programs if benefits are triggered hereunder. 2.2 Qualifying Termination. The Executive’s separation from service (as defined in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations) within twenty-four (24) calendar months after a Change in Control of the Company shall constitute a Qualifying Termination and shall trigger the payment of Severance Benefits to the Executive under this Agreement under the following circumstances: (a) The Company’s involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment without Cause; and (b) The Executive’s voluntary employment termination for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, a Qualifying Termination shall not include a termination of employment by reason of death, Disability, or the Executive’s voluntary termination for reasons other than as specified in Section 2.2(b) herein, or the Company’s involuntary termination for Cause. 2.3 Description of Severance Benefits. In the event the Executive becomes entitled to receive Severance Benefits, as provided in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 herein, the Company shall pay to the Executive and provide him with the following Severance Benefits, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.1 herein:

(a) Upon a Qualifying Termination, a lump-sum amount equal to the Executive’s accrued but unpaid Base Salary, accrued vacation pay, unreimbursed business expenses, and all other items earned by and owed to the Executive through and including the Effective Date of Termination. (b) Upon a Qualifying Termination, a lump-sum amount equal to the Executive’s then current annual target bonus opportunity, established under the annual bonus plan in which the Executive is then participating, for the bonus plan year in which the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination occurs, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of full completed months in the year from January 1 through the Effective Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is twelve (12). This payment will be in lieu of any other payment to be made to the Executive under the annual bonus plan in which the Executive is then participating for the plan year. (c) Upon a Qualifying Termination, a lump-sum amount equal to one and one-half (1.5) multiplied by the sum of the following: (i) the higher of: (A) the Executive’s annual rate of Base Salary in effect upon the Effective Date of Termination, or (B) the Executive’s annual rate of Base Salary in effect on the date of the Change in Control; and (ii) the Executive’s annual target bonus opportunity established under the annual bonus plan in which the Executive is then participating for the bonus plan year in which the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination occurs. (d) Upon a Qualifying Termination, a lump-sum amount equal to one-half (0.5) multiplied by the sum of the following: (i) the higher of: (A) the Executive’s annual rate of Base Salary in effect upon the Effective Date of Termination, or (B) the Executive’s annual rate of Base Salary in effect on the date of the Change in Control; and (ii) the Executive’s annual target bonus opportunity established under the annual bonus plan in which the Executive is then participating for the bonus plan year in which the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination occurs. Such amount shall be in consideration for the Executive entering into a noncompete agreement as described in Article 4 herein. (e) Upon a Qualifying Termination, vesting and cash-out of any and all outstanding cash- based long-term incentive awards held by the Executive, as granted to the Executive by the Company as a component of the Executive’s compensation. The cash-out shall be in a lump-sum amount equal to the target award level established for each award, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the full number of completed days in the preestablished performance period as of the Effective Date of termination, and the denominator of which is the full number of days in the entire performance period (i.e., typically thirty-six (36) months). This payment will be in lieu of any other payment to be made to the Executive under these long-term performance-based award plans. (f) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, an immediate full vesting and lapse of all restrictions on any and all outstanding equity-based long-term incentives, including but not limited to stock options and restricted stock awards held by the Executive. This provision shall override any conflicting language contained in the Executive’s respective award agreements. (g) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall, as soon as possible, but in no event longer than thirty (30) calendar days following the occurrence of a Change in Control, make an irrevocable contribution to the then current trust in effect for purposes of holding assets to assist the Company in satisfying its liabilities under the Federal Signal Corporation Supplemental Savings and Investment Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) or successor thereto in an amount that is sufficient (taking into account the trust assets, if any, resulting from prior contributions) to fund

the trust in an amount equal to but no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the amount necessary to pay the Executive the benefits to which such Executive would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the aforementioned Deferred Compensation Plan. (h) Upon a Qualifying Termination, continuation for twenty-four (24) months of the Executive’s medical insurance coverage. The benefit shall be provided by the Company to the Executive beginning immediately upon the Effective Date of Termination. Such benefit shall be provided to the Executive at the same coverage level and cost to the Executive as in effect immediately prior to the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination. Any COBRA health benefit continuation coverage provided to Executive shall run concurrently with the aforementioned twenty-four (24) month period. The value of such medical insurance coverage shall be treated as taxable income to Executive to the extent necessary to comply with Sections 105(h) and 409A of the Code. For purposes of 409A of the Code, any payments of continued health benefits that are made during the applicable COBRA continuation period (even if the Executive does not actually receive COBRA coverage for the entire applicable period), are exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(B). The right to continue coverage beyond the applicable COBRA continuation period is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding the above, this medical insurance benefit shall be discontinued prior to the end of the stated continuation period in the event the Executive receives a substantially similar benefit from a subsequent employer, as determined solely by the Committee in good faith. For purposes of enforcing this offset provision, the Executive shall be deemed to have a duty to keep the Company informed as to the terms and conditions of any subsequent employment and any corresponding benefit earned from such employment, and shall provide, or cause to provide, to the Company in writing correct, complete, and timely information concerning the same. 2.4 Termination for Total and Permanent Disability. Following a Change in Control, if the Executive’s employment is terminated with the Company due to Disability, the Executive’s benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Company’s retirement, insurance, and other applicable plans and programs then in effect. 2.5 Termination for Death. Following a Change in Control, if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of his death, the Executive’s benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Company’s retirement, survivor’s benefits, insurance, and other applicable programs then in effect. 2.6 Termination for Cause or by the Executive Other Than for Good Reason. Following a Change in Control, if the Executive has a separation from service (as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the applicable regulations) either due to: (i) termination by the Company for Cause; or (ii) voluntary termination by the Executive for reasons other than as specified in Section 2.2(b) herein, the Company shall pay the Executive his accrued but unpaid Base Salary at the rate then in effect, accrued vacation, and other items earned by and owed to the Executive through the Executive’s separation from service, plus all other amounts to which the Executive is entitled under any compensation plans of the Company at the time such payments are due, and the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement. 2.7 Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party. Article 3. Form and Timing of Severance Benefits

3.1 Form and Timing of Severance Benefits. The Severance Benefits described in Sections 2.3(a), 2.3(b), 2.3(c), 2.3(d), and 2.3(e) herein shall be paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the Effective Date of Termination, but in no event beyond ten (10) calendar days from such date. 3.2. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Code Section 409A, and related guidance. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, any Severance Benefits paid (i) within 2-½ months of the end of the Company’s taxable year containing the Executive’s severance from employment, or (ii) within 2-½ months of the Executive’s taxable year containing the severance from employment shall be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and shall be paid in accordance with this Article 3. Severance Benefits subject to this Section 3.2(a) shall be treated and shall be deemed to be an entitlement to a separate payment within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder. (b) To the extent Severance Benefits are not exempt from Section 409A under Section 3.2(a) above, any Benefits paid in the first 6 months following the Executive’s severance from employment that are equal to or less than the lesser of the amounts described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A- 1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and (2) shall be exempt from Section 409A and shall be paid in accordance with this Article 3. Severance Benefits subject to this Section 3.2(b) shall be treated and shall be deemed to be an entitlement to a separate payment within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder. (c) To the extent Severance Benefits are not exempt from Section 409A under Sections 3.2(a) or (b) above, any Benefits paid equal to or less than the applicable dollar amount under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code for the year of severance from employment shall be exempt from Section 409A in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(D) and shall be paid in accordance with this Article 3. Severance Benefits subject to this Section 3.2(c) shall be treated and shall be deemed to be an entitlement to a separate payment within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder. (d) To the extent Severance Benefits are not exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Sections 3.2(a), (b) or (c) above, and to the extent the Executive is a "specified employee" (as defined below), payments due to the Executive under Section 6 shall begin no sooner than six months after the Executive's severance from employment (other than for Death) ; provided, however, that any payments not made during the six (6) month period described in this Section 3.2(d) due to the 6-month delay period required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(2) shall be made in a single lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the expiration of such six (6) month period, with interest thereon , and the balance of all other payments required under this Agreement shall be made as otherwise scheduled in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and subject to Code Section 409A, to the extent the following rules should apply to the Executive in connection with payments made hereunder, payment shall not be made or commence as a result of the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination to any Executive who is a key employee (defined below) before the date that is not less than six months after the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination. For this purpose, a key employee includes a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)) during the entire 12-month period determined by the Company ending with the annual date upon which key employees are identified by the Company, and also including any Executive identified by the Company in good faith with respect to any distribution as belonging to the group of identified key employees, to a maximum of 200 such key employees, regardless of whether such Executive is subsequently determined by the Company, any governmental agency, or a court not to be a key employee. The identification date for determining key employees shall be each December 31 (and the new key employee list shall be updated and effective each subsequent April 1). (e) For purposes of this Section 3.2, any reference to severance of employment or termination of employment shall mean a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h). For purposes of this Agreement, the term "specified employee" shall have the meaning set forth in Treasury Reg. Section 1.409A-1(i). The determination of whether the Executive is a "specified employee" shall be made by the Company in good faith applying the applicable Treasury regulations.

3.3 Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city, or other taxes as legally shall be required. Article 4. Noncompetition and Confidentiality In the event of a Change in Control, as provided in Article 1 paragraph (f) herein, the following shall apply: (a) Noncompetition. During the term of this Agreement and, if longer, for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date of Termination, the Executive shall not: (i) directly or indirectly act in concert or conspire with any person employed by the Company in order to engage in or prepare to engage in or to have a financial or other interest in any business or any activity which he knows (or reasonably should have known) to be directly competitive with the business of the Company as then being carried on; or (ii) serve as an employee, agent, partner, shareholder, director or consultant for, or in any other capacity participate, engage, or have a financial or other interest in any business or any activity which he knows (or reasonably should have known) to be directly competitive with the business of the Company as then being carried on (provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Executive may own up to two percent (2%) of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of a company whose securities are registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). (b) Confidentiality. The Company has advised the Executive and the Executive acknowledges that it is the policy of the Company to maintain as secret and confidential all Protected Information (as defined below), and that Protected Information has been and will be developed at substantial cost and effort to the Company. All Protected Information shall remain confidential permanently and no Executive shall at any time, directly or indirectly, divulge, furnish, or make accessible to any person, firm, corporation, association, or other entity (otherwise than as may be required in the regular course of the Executive’s employment with the Company), nor use in any manner, either during the term of employment or after termination, at any time, for any reason, any Protected Information, or cause any such information of the Company to enter the public domain. For purposes of this Agreement, “Protected Information” means trade secrets, confidential and proprietary business information of the Company, and any other information of the Company, including, but not limited to, customer lists (including potential customers), sources of supply, processes, plans, materials, pricing information, internal memoranda, marketing plans, internal policies, and products and services which may be developed from time to time by the Company and its agents or employees, including the Executive; provided, however, that information that is in the public domain (other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement), approved for release by the Company or lawfully obtained from third parties who are not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company, is not Protected Information. (c) Nonsolicitation. During the term of this Agreement and, if longer, for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date of Termination, the Executive shall not employ or retain or solicit for employment or arrange to have any other person, firm, or other entity employ or retain or solicit for employment or otherwise participate in the employment or retention of any person who is an employee or consultant of the Company. (d) Cooperation. Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company and its attorneys in connection with any and all lawsuits, claims, investigations, or similar proceedings that have been or could be asserted at any time arising out of or related in any way to Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. (e) Nondisparagement. At all times, the Executive agrees not to disparage the Company or otherwise make comments harmful to the Company’s reputation.

(f) Judicial Interpretation. It is expressly understood and agreed that although Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Section to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that any restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply to the maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein. (g) Injunctive Relief and Additional Remedy. The Executive acknowledges that the injury that would be suffered by the Company as a result of a breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Company for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, the Company will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Agreement, and the Company will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting the Company’s rights under this Article or any other remedies of the Company, if the Executive breaches any of the provisions of this Article, the Company will have the right to recover any amounts paid to the Executive under subsection 2.3(d) of this Agreement. Article 5. Reduction of Severance Benefits in the Event of an Excise Tax Due 5.1 Events Triggering Reduction of Severance Benefits. If any portion of the Severance Benefits or any other payment under this Agreement, or under any other agreement with, or plan of the Company (in the aggregate, “Total Payments”) would constitute an “excess parachute payment,” such that a golden parachute excise tax is due, the Company will make no additional payments to the Executive to cover the cost of such excise tax (a “Gross-Up Payment”) and the aggregate amount of Severance Payments payable to the Executive under this Agreement, or any other agreement with or plan of the Company, shall be reduced to the largest amount which would both (i) not cause any excise tax to be payable by the Executive, and (ii) not cause any of the Severance Payments to become nondeductible by the Company by reason of Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “excess parachute payment” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 280G of the Code, and the term “excise tax” shall mean the tax imposed on such excess parachute payment pursuant to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. 5.2 Procedures in the Event of a Reduction in Severance Benefits. If there is a determination that the Severance Benefits payable to the Executive must be reduced pursuant to Section 5.1, the Company shall promptly give the Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof and of the amount that must be reduced. The Executive may then elect, at the Executive’s sole discretion, which and how much of the various Severance Benefits shall be eliminated or reduced as long as after the Execuitive’s election the aggregate present value of the Severance Benefits equals the largest amount that would both (i) not cause any excise tax to be payable by the Executive, and (ii) not cause any Severance Payment to become nondeductible by the Company by reason of Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto). The Executive will advise the Company in writing of the Executive’s election under this Section 5.2 within ten (10) days of the Executive’s receipt of the notice under this Section 5.2 from the Company. If no election is made by the Executive within the ten-day period, the Company may election which and how much of the Severance Benefits shall be eliminated or reduced as long as after the Company’s election the aggregate present value of the Severance Payments equals the largest amount that would both (i) not cause any excise tax to be paid by the Executive, and (ii) not cause and Severance Payments to become nondeductible by the Company by reason of Section 289G of the Code (or any successor provision thereof). For purposes of this Section 5.2, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. Article 6. The Company’s Payment Obligation

6.1 Payment Obligations Absolute. The Company’s obligation to make the payments and the arrangements provided for herein shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstances including, without limitation, any offset, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right which the Company may have against the Executive or anyone else. All amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand. Each and every payment made hereunder by the Company shall be final, and the Company shall not seek to recover all or any part of such payment from the Executive or from whomsoever may be entitled thereto, for any reasons whatsoever. The Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Agreement, and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of the Company’s obligations to make the payments and arrangements required to be made under this Agreement, except to the extent provided in Section 2.3(h) herein. 6.2 Contractual Rights to Benefits. This Agreement establishes and vests in the Executive a contractual right to the benefits to which he is entitled hereunder. However, nothing herein contained shall require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed to prohibit, the Company to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets, in trust or otherwise, to provide for any payments to be made or required hereunder, except to the extent provided in Section 2.3(g) herein. Article 7. Term of Agreement This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect for three (3) full years. However, at the end of such three (3) year period and, if extended, at the end of each additional year thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall be extended automatically for one (1) additional year, unless either party delivers written notice six (6) months prior to the end of such term, or extended term, stating that the Agreement will not be extended. In such case, the Agreement will terminate at the end of the term, or extended term, then in progress. However, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for two (2) years from the date of the Change in Control. Article 8. Dispute Resolution Any dispute or controversy between the parties arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration. The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted before a panel of three (3) arbitrators sitting in a location selected by the Executive within fifty (50) miles from the location of the Executive’s principal place of employment, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the award of the arbitrators in any court having competent jurisdiction. All expenses of such litigation or arbitration, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the legal representative for the Executive, and necessary costs and disbursements incurred as a result of such dispute or legal proceeding, and any prejudgment interest, shall be borne by the Company. Article 9. Successors 9.1 Successors to the Company. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, reorganization, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, liquidation, or otherwise) of all or a significant portion of the assets of the Company by agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. Regardless of whether such agreement is executed, this Agreement shall be binding upon any successor in accordance with the operation of law and such successor shall be deemed the “Company” for purposes of this Agreement.

9.2 Assignment by the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. If the Executive dies while any amount would still be payable to him hereunder had he continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s beneficiary designated under the Company’s life insurance plan, or, if there is no such beneficiary, to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if there is no such designee, to the Executive’s estate. Article 10. Miscellaneous 10.1 Employment Status. This Agreement is not, and nothing herein shall be deemed to create, an employment contract between the Executive and the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Executive acknowledges that the rights of the Company remain wholly intact to change or reduce at any time and from time to time his compensation, title, responsibilities, location, and all other aspects of the employment relationship, or to discharge him prior to a Change in Control (subject to such discharge possibly being considered a Qualifying Termination pursuant to Section 2.2). 10.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof. In addition, the payments provided for under this Agreement in the event of the Executive’s termination of employment shall be in lieu of any severance benefits payable under any severance plan, program, or policy of the Company to which he might otherwise be entitled. 10.3 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be sufficient if in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand or if sent by registered or certified mail to the Executive at the last address he has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its principal offices. 10.4 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument, and all signatures need not appear on any one counterpart. 10.5 Conflicting Agreements. This Agreement completely supersedes any and all prior change-in- control agreements or understandings, oral or written, entered into by and between the Company and the Executive, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all amendments thereto, in their entirety. Further, the Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that his entering into this Agreement, and the obligations and duties undertaken by him hereunder, will not conflict with, constitute a breach of, or otherwise violate the terms of, any other employment or other agreement to which he is a party, except to the extent any such conflict, breach, or violation under any such agreement has been disclosed to the Board in writing in advance of the signing of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if there is any inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of Company-sponsored compensation and welfare plans and programs, the Agreement’s terms and provisions shall completely supersede and replace the conflicting terms of the Company-sponsored compensation and welfare plans and programs, where applicable. 10.6 Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Agreement, and the Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. Further, the captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force and effect. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to make any payment to the Executive hereunder to the extent, but only to the extent, that such payment is prohibited by the terms of any final order of a federal or state court or regulatory agency of

competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that such an order shall not affect, impair, or invalidate any provision of this Agreement not expressly subject to such order. 10.7 Modification. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged unless such modification, waiver, or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and by a member of the Board, as applicable, or by the respective parties’ legal representatives or successors. 10.8 Applicable Law. To the extent not preempted by the laws of the United States, the laws of Delaware shall be the controlling law in all matters relating to this Agreement without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on this _____day of ______, 20YY.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro. SECTION 1.13 Limited Condition Acquisitions. In the event that the US Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that any proposed Acquisition is a Limited Condition Acquisition and that the US Borrower wishes to test the conditions under this Agreement to such Acquisition and the Indebtedness that is to be used to finance such Acquisition in accordance with this Section 1.13, then, the following provisions shall apply: (a) any condition to such Limited Condition Acquisition or such Indebtedness that requires that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Limited Condition Acquisition or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, shall be satisfied if (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date the definitive agreement governing such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into (the “LCA Test Date”) and (ii) no Event of Default under any of Section 10.1(a), 10.1(b), 10.1(i) or 10.1(j) shall have occurred and be continuing both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and any Indebtedness incurred in connection therewith (including any such additional Indebtedness);

41 152003688_8 (b) any condition to such Limited Condition Acquisition or such Indebtedness that any of the representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or the incurrence of such Indebtedness shall be deemed satisfied if (i) as of the LCA Test Date, such representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except for any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, which such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects), or if such representation speaks as of an earlier date, as of such earlier date and (ii) as of the date of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, (A) the representations and warranties under the relevant definitive agreement governing such Limited Condition Acquisition as are material to the lenders providing such Indebtedness shall be true and correct, but only to the extent that the US Borrower or its applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such agreement or otherwise decline to close such Limited Condition Acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties or the failure of those representations and warranties to be true and correct and (B) the representations and warranties set forth in (or substantially similar to) Section 7.1(a), Section 7.3, Section 7.4, Section 7.10, Section 7.11, Section 7.17 and Section 7.20 shall be true and correct in all material respects (except for any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, which such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects); (c) any financial ratio test or condition to be tested in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition and the availability of such Indebtedness will be tested as of the LCA Test Date, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition and related incurrence of Indebtedness, on a Pro Forma Basis where applicable, and, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) such ratios and baskets shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition and (ii) if any of such ratios are exceeded or conditions are not met following the LCA Test Date, but prior to the closing of such Limited Condition Acquisition, as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or amount (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the US Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition), at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded and such conditions will not be deemed unmet as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken; (d) except as provided in the next sentence, in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated and the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness) have been consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any calculation of a ratio in connection with determining the Applicable Margin and determining whether or not the US Borrower is in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 9.15 shall, in each case be calculated assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness) have not been consummated. The foregoing provisions shall apply with similar effect during the pendency of multiple Limited Condition Acquisitions such that each of the possible scenarios is separately tested. SECTION 1.14 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to

42 152003688_8 the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time. SECTION 1.15 Rates. The interest rate on Loans denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency may be determined by reference to a benchmark rate that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform or cessation. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative reference rates for some of these benchmark rates and, as a result, such benchmark rates may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate, which may be one of the benchmark rates with reference to which the interest rate on Loans may be determined, is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), the administrator of the London interbank offered rate, and the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of IBA, announced in public statements (the “Announcements”) that the final publication or representativeness date for the London interbank offered rate for: (a) Sterling and Euros will be December 31, 2021, (b) Dollars for 1-week and 2- month tenor settings will be December 31, 2021 and (c) Dollars for overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month tenor settings will be June 30, 2023. No successor administrator for IBA was identified in such Announcements. As a result, it is possible that commencing immediately after such dates, the London interbank offered rate for such currencies and tenors may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed a representative reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on applicable Loans. There is no assurance that the dates set forth in the Announcements will not change or that IBA or the FCA will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of any London interbank offered rate. Public and private sector industry initiatives have been and continue, as of the date hereof, to be underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of London interbank offered rates. In the event that the London interbank offered rate or any other then-current Benchmark is no longer available or in certain other circumstances set forth in Section 5.8(c), such Section 5.8(c) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the US Borrower, pursuant to Section 5.8(c), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (i) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate, the rates in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” or “SONIA Daily Rate” or any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.8(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, such Benchmark or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of a Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto and such transactions may be adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the US Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Principal and interest on Swingline Loans deemed requested pursuant to the Sweep Arrangement shall be paid pursuant to the terms and conditions agreed to between the US Borrower and the Swingline Lender (without any deduction, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever). The borrowing and disbursement provisions set forth in Section 2.3 and any other provision hereof with respect to the timing or amount of payments on the Swingline Loans (other than Section 2.4(a)) shall not be applicable to Swingline Loans made and prepaid pursuant to the Sweep Arrangement. Unless sooner paid pursuant to the provisions hereof or the provisions of the Sweep Arrangement, the principal amount of the Swingline Loans shall be paid in full, together with accrued interest thereon, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. (b) Refunding. (i) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the US Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), by written notice given no later than 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day request each Revolving Credit Lender to make, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Credit Loan as a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent

44 152003688_8 in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Swingline Loans. No Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan. (ii) The US Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender on demand, and in any event on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in immediately available funds the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. In addition, the US Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by the US Borrower with the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the US Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. (iii) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced with a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i), each Revolving Credit Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.2(b)(i), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its Swingline Participation Amount. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Revolving Credit Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender. (iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans referred to in Section 2.2(b)(i) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Credit Lender or the US Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the US Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article VI, (C) any adverse change in

45 152003688_8 the condition (financial or otherwise) of the US Borrower, (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the US Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Revolving Credit Lender or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. (v) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(b) by the time specified in Section 2.2(b)(i) or 2.2(b)(iii), as applicable, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Participation Amount, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (c) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Section 2.2 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.14 and Section 5.15. SECTION 2.3 Procedure for Advances of Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans. (a) Requests for Borrowing. The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Notice of Borrowing”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the same Business Day as each Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan, (ii) at least three (3) Eurocurrency Banking Days before each Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, (iii) at least four (4) Eurocurrency Banking Days before each Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Alternative Currencies (other than Canadian Dollars) and (iv) at least four (4) Business Days before each SONIA Daily Rate Loan of its intention to borrow, specifying (A) the date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, (B) the name of the Borrower, (C) the amount of such borrowing, which shall be, (x) with respect to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (y) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans and SONIA Daily Rate Loans, in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (or, if such Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency, 5,000,000 units of such currency) or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 (or, if such Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency, 1,000,000 units of such currency) in excess thereof and (z) with respect to Swingline Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, in each case, the remaining amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment or the Swingline Commitment, as applicable), (D) whether such Loan is to be a Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan, (E) in the case of a Revolving Credit Loan to be made in Dollars whether the Loans are to be Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, (F) in the case of a Revolving Credit Loan which is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the currency to be borrowed and (G) in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided that if the applicable Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Rate Loans having an Interest Period of twelve months in duration, such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Eurocurrency Banking Days prior to the requested date of such borrowing, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. If the applicable Borrower fails to specify a type of Loan in a Notice of Borrowing, then the applicable Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans denominated

46 152003688_8 in Dollars; provided, however, with respect to a Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be made as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month or SONIA Daily Rate Loans, as applicable. If the applicable Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Notice of Borrowing then the Loan so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the applicable Borrower requests a borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Notice of Borrowing, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. A Notice of Borrowing received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing. (b) Disbursement of Revolving Credit and Swingline Loans. Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the proposed borrowing date, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Revolving Credit Loan in an Alternative Currency, (i) each Revolving Credit Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Borrower, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars or the Alternative Currency to be made on such borrowing date and (ii) the Swingline Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the US Borrower, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds denominated in Dollars immediately available to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Loans to be made on such borrowing date. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each borrowing requested pursuant to this Section in immediately available funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of the US Borrower identified in the most recent notice substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C (a “Notice of Account Designation”) delivered by the US Borrower to the Administrative Agent or as may be otherwise agreed upon by the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time. Subject to Section 5.7 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the portion of the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to this Section to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan. Revolving Credit Loans to be made for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders as provided in Section 2.2(b). SECTION 2.4 Repayment and Prepayment of Revolving Credit and Swingline Loans. (a) Repayment on Termination Date. The US Borrower hereby agrees to repay the outstanding principal amount of all (i) Revolving Credit Loans in full on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (ii) all Swingline Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(b) (but, in any event, no later than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), together, in each case, with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon. Each Non US Borrower hereby agrees to repay the outstanding principal amount of Non-US Revolving Credit Loans borrowed by such Non US Borrower on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, together, in each case, with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon. (b) Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, the US Borrower agrees to repay immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent, by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, Extensions of Credit in an amount equal to such excess with each such repayment applied first, to the principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans, second to the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and third, with respect to any Letters of Credit then outstanding, a payment of Cash Collateral into a Cash Collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, in an amount equal to such excess (such Cash Collateral to be applied in accordance with Section 10.2(b)). If the Administrative Agent notifies the US Borrower at any time that

47 152003688_8 the Outstanding Amount of all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the US Borrower or the Non-US Borrowers solely as to their Non-US Obligations, as applicable, shall prepay Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect. (c) Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans, in whole or in part, with irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D (a “Notice of Prepayment”) given not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the same Business Day of the intended prepayment of each Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan, (ii) at least three (3) Eurocurrency Banking Days before the intended prepayment of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, (iii) four (4) Eurocurrency Banking Days before the intended prepayment of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Alternative Currencies (other than Canadian Dollars) and (iv) four (4) Business Days before the intended prepayment of each SONIA Daily Rate Loan, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans, SONIA Daily Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth in such notice. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof with respect to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), $5,000,000 (or, if such Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency, 5,000,000 units of such currency) or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 (or, if such Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency, 1,000,000 units of such currency) in excess thereof with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether denominated in Dollars or Alternative Currencies) and SONIA Daily Rate Loans and $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Swingline Loans. A Notice of Prepayment received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Notice of a Prepayment delivered in connection with any refinancing of all of the Credit Facility with the proceeds of such refinancing or of any incurrence of Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, may be, if expressly so stated to be, contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing or incurrence or occurrence of such other identifiable event or condition and may be revoked by the Borrowers in the event such contingency is not met (provided that the failure of such contingency shall not relieve the Borrowers from their obligations in respect thereof under Section 5.9). (d) Limitation on Prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and SONIA Daily Rate Loans. The Borrowers may not prepay any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or any SONIA Daily Rate Loan on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, in each case unless such prepayment is accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof. (e) Hedge Agreements. No repayment or prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section shall affect any of the Borrowers’ obligations under any Hedge Agreement entered into with respect to the Loans. SECTION 2.5 Reserved. SECTION 2.6 Termination of Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

48 152003688_8 ARTICLE III LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY SECTION 3.1 L/C Facility. (a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby or commercial Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or one more Alternative Currencies in an aggregate amount not to exceed its L/C Commitment for the account of the US Borrower or, subject to Section 3.10, any Subsidiary thereof. Letters of Credit may be issued on any Business Day from the Closing Date to, but not including the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the applicable Issuing Lender; provided, that no Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (a) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Sublimit, (b) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment with respect to each Issuing Lender, (c) the Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment or (d) the Revolving Credit Outstandings denominated in Alternative Currencies would exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) expire on a date no more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last renewal of such Letter of Credit (subject to automatic renewal for additional one (1) year periods pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit Application or other documentation acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender), which date shall be no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (ii) be subject to the Uniform Customs, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or ISP, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit, in each case as set forth in the Letter of Credit Application or as determined by the applicable Issuing Lender and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of Illinois. No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or (B) any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Closing Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuing Lender as of the Closing Date and that such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it, or (C) the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are not satisfied. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. As of the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder. (b) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Article III shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.14 and Section 5.15. SECTION 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The US Borrower may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender issue, amend, renew or extend a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its applicable office (with a copy to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office) a Letter of Credit Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent may request (which information shall include the applicable currency in which such Letter of Credit shall be denominated). Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Lender shall, process such Letter of Credit Application and the certificates, documents and other

49 152003688_8 papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1 and Article VI, promptly issue, amend, renew or extend the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Lender and the US Borrower. The applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the issuance and upon request by any Lender, furnish to such Revolving Credit Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation therein. SECTION 3.3 Commissions and Other Charges. (a) Letter of Credit Commissions. Subject to Section 5.15(a)(iii)(B), the US Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit in the amount equal to (i) in the case of commercial Letters of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such commercial Letters of Credit times the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such standby Letters of Credit times the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans (determined, in each case, on a per annum basis). Such commission shall be payable in Dollars quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit), on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the applicable Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants all commissions received pursuant to this Section 3.3 in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. (b) Issuance Fee. In addition to the foregoing commission, the US Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable Issuing Lender, for its own account, an issuance fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender as set forth in the Fee Letters executed by such Issuing Lender. Such issuance fee shall be payable in Dollars quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the applicable Issuing Lender. (c) Other Fees, Costs, Charges and Expenses. In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the US Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender in Dollars for such normal and customary fees, costs, charges and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by it. (d) The commissions, fees, charges, costs and expenses payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be payable in Dollars (based on the Dollar amount of such fees), notwithstanding the applicable currency in which the applicable Letter of Credit is denominated. SECTION 3.4 L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest

50 152003688_8 equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the US Borrower through a Revolving Credit Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender, in the applicable currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated, upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed. (b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such unreimbursed amount and the Administrative Agent shall notify each L/C Participant (with a copy to the applicable Issuing Lender) of the amount and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, in the applicable currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated (which, in turn shall pay such Issuing Lender) the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, which in turn shall pay such Issuing Lender, in the applicable currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated, on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Overnight Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of such Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to such Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section, if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day. (c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any L/C Participant its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section, such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Administrative Agent or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn pay to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it. (d) Each L/C Participant’s obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans referred to in Section 3.4(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 3.4(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Credit Lender or the US Borrower may have against the Issuing Lender or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article VI, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the US Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the US Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Revolving Credit Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

51 152003688_8 SECTION 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the US Borrower. (a) (i) In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the US Borrower agrees to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan as provided for in this Section or with funds from other sources), in Same Day Funds, the applicable Issuing Lender on each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the US Borrower of the date and amount of a draft paid by it under any Letter of Credit for the amount of (A) such draft so paid and (B) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. (ii) In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the US Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) such Issuing Lender (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 US Borrower shall have notified such Issuing Lender promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the US Borrower will reimburse such Issuing Lender in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Issuing Lender shall notify the US Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency, the US Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. (b) Unless the US Borrower shall immediately notify such Issuing Lender that the US Borrower intends to reimburse such Issuing Lender for such drawing from other sources or funds, the US Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Revolving Credit Lenders make a Revolving Credit Loan funded in Dollars as a Base Rate Loan on the applicable repayment date in the Dollar Equivalent of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (including, without limitation, any and all costs, fees and other expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in effecting the payment of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative L/C Currency), and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall make a Revolving Credit Loan funded in Dollars as a Base Rate Loan in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and such fees and expenses. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with this Section to reimburse such Issuing Lender for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit issued by it is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or Article VI. If the US Borrower has elected to pay the amount of such drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail to reimburse such Issuing Lender as provided above, or if the amount of such drawing is not fully refunded through a Base Rate Loan as provided above, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate Loans which were then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until paid in full. (c) The US Borrower shall, upon demand from any Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, pay to such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, the amount of (i) any loss or cost or increased cost incurred by such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, (ii) any reduction in any amount payable to or in the effective return on the capital to such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, (iii) any currency exchange loss, in each case that such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant sustains as a result of the US Borrower’s repayment in Dollars of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency. A certificate of such Issuing Lender setting

52 152003688_8 forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. SECTION 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The US Borrower’s obligations under this Article III (including, without limitation, the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the US Borrower may have or have had against the applicable Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The US Borrower also agrees that the applicable Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants shall not be responsible for, and the US Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the US Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the US Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee or any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of any applicable currency to the US Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The US Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct shall be binding on the US Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to the US Borrower. The responsibility of any Issuing Lender to the US Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued to it shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment substantially conforms to the requirements under such Letter of Credit. SECTION 3.7 Effect of Letter of Credit Application. To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply. SECTION 3.8 Resignation of Issuing Lenders. (a) Any Lender may at any time resign from its role as an Issuing Lender hereunder upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent). (b) Any resigning Issuing Lender shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Lender and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including, without limitation, the right to require the Revolving Credit Lenders to take such actions as are required under Section 3.4). Without limiting the foregoing, upon the resignation of a Lender as an Issuing Lender hereunder, the US Borrower may, or at the request of such resigned Issuing Lender the US Borrower shall, use commercially reasonable efforts to, arrange for one or more of the other Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of Credit hereunder in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by such resigned Issuing Lender and outstanding at the time of such resignation, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigned Issuing Lender to effectively cause another Issuing Lender to assume the obligations of the resigned Issuing Lender with respect to any such Letters of Credit.

53 152003688_8 SECTION 3.9 Reporting of Letter of Credit Information and L/C Commitment. At any time that there is an Issuing Lender that is not also the financial institution acting as Administrative Agent, then (a) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (b) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended, terminated or otherwise expires, (c) on each date that a Letter of Credit is issued or the expiry date of a Letter of Credit is extended, and (d) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender (or, in the case of clauses (b), (c) or (d) of this Section, the applicable Issuing Lender) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent information (including, without limitation, any reimbursement, Cash Collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender that is outstanding hereunder. In addition, each Issuing Lender shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of its L/C Commitment, or any change thereto, promptly upon it becoming an Issuing Lender or making any change to its L/C Commitment. No failure on the part of any Issuing Lender to provide such information pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall limit the obligations of the US Borrower or any Revolving Credit Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations hereunder. SECTION 3.10 Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Domestic Subsidiary, the US Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse, or to cause the applicable Subsidiary to reimburse, the applicable Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The US Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the US Borrower and that the US Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. ARTICLE IV RESERVED ARTICLE V GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS SECTION 5.1 Interest. (a) Interest Rate Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section, at the election of the applicable Borrower, (i) Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars and, if applicable, Incremental Term Loans, shall bear interest at (A) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (B) the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin, (ii) Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Sterling) shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin (provided that the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate shall not be available until three (3) Business Days (or four (4) Business Days in the case of any Alternative Currency other than Canadian Dollars) after the Closing Date unless the US Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 5.9 of this Agreement), (iii) Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Sterling shall bear interest at the SONIA Daily Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (iv) any Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The applicable Borrower shall select the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 5.2. (b) Default Rate. Subject to Section 10.3, (i) immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 10.1(a), (b), (i) or (j), or (ii) at the election of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, (A) the Borrowers shall no longer have the option to request Eurocurrency Rate Loans, SONIA Daily Rate Loans, Swingline

54 152003688_8 Loans or Letters of Credit, (B) any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency 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, (C) all outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans, (D) all outstanding SONIA Daily Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to SONIA Daily Rate Loans until the next Interest Payment Date therefor and thereafter shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the applicable Alternative Currency) immediately and shall, as of such conversion, bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans, (E) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document (such rate as determined under clause (C), (D) or (E), as applicable, “Default Rate”) and (F) all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on demand of the Administrative Agent. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against the Borrowers of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any Debtor Relief Law. (c) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto commencing September 30, 2019; interest on each SONIA Daily Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto; and interest on each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of interest for SONIA Daily Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365/366- day year) or, in the case of interest on Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. (d) Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the Borrowers any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations. It is the intent hereof that the Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative

55 152003688_8 Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law. SECTION 5.2 Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrowers shall have the option, subject to Section 5.1(a), to (a) convert at any time following the third Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of any outstanding Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000 (or, if such Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency, 5,000,000 units of such currency) or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 (or, if such Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency, 1,000,000 units of such currency) in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as shall represent all of the Base Rate Loans then outstanding) into one or more Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether in Dollars or any Alternative Currency), (b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in a principal amount equal to $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as shall represent all of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans then outstanding) into Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or (ii) continue such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) as Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (c) in the case of a SONIA Daily Rate Loan, upon the occurrence of the Interest Payment Date therefor, continue any such SONIA Daily Rate Loan as a SONIA Daily Rate Loan. Whenever the Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans as provided above, the applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of any such Loan in Dollars or Canadian Dollars (or four (4) Business Days in the case of Euros or a SONIA Daily Rate Loan) is to be effective specifying (A) the Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued Eurocurrency Rate Loan and (E) the currency of the Loans to be converted or continued. If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to a SONIA Daily Rate Loan prior to the Interest Payment Date therefor, then, unless such SONIA Daily Rate Loan is repaid as provided herein, such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such SONIA Daily Rate Loan shall automatically continue as a SONIA Daily Rate Loan as of such Interest Payment Date. If the applicable Borrower fails to give a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation prior to the end of the Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, then the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. Any such automatic conversion to a Base Rate Loan shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loan. If the applicable Borrower requests a conversion to, or continuation of, Eurocurrency Rate Loans, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swingline Loan may not be converted to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a SONIA Daily Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or the continuation of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, in each case as described above. SECTION 5.3 Fees.

56 152003688_8 (a) Commitment Fee. Commencing on the Closing Date, subject to Section 5.15(a)(iii)(A), the US Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, a non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in Dollars at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lenders, if any); provided, that the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans shall not be considered usage of the Revolving Credit Commitment for the purpose of calculating the Commitment Fee. The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement commencing September 30, 2019 and ending on the date upon which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) arising under the Revolving Credit Facility shall have been paid and satisfied in full in cash, all Letters of Credit have been terminated or expired (or been Cash Collateralized) and the Revolving Credit Commitment has been terminated. The Commitment Fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) pro rata in accordance with such Revolving Credit Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. (b) Other Fees. The US Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in Dollars in the amounts and at the times specified in their Fee Letter. The US Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. SECTION 5.4 Manner of Payment. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, each payment by the Borrowers on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts (including the Reimbursement Obligation) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment in Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. (or, with respect to a payment to be made in an Alternative Currency, the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent) on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 10.1, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment received (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payment in Dollars or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limitation the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that payments due under this agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Applicable Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the US Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each such Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its Commitment Percentage in respect of the relevant Credit Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent on account of the principal of or interest on the Swingline Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the Swingline Lender shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the Swingline Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of any Issuing Lender’s fees or L/C Participants’ commissions shall be made in like manner, but for the account of such Issuing Lender or the L/C Participants, as the case may be. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative

57 152003688_8 Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Sections 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 or 12.3 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender. Subject to the definition of Interest Period, if any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists a Defaulting Lender each payment by the Borrowers to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.15(a)(ii). SECTION 5.5 Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Extensions of Credit. The Extensions of Credit made by each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender or such Issuing Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender or the applicable Issuing Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Extensions of Credit made by the Lenders or such Issuing Lender to the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender or any Issuing Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Credit Note, Non-US Revolving Credit Note, Swingline Note and/or such other promissory note evidencing Incremental Term Loans as requested, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. (b) Participations. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Credit Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Credit Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. SECTION 5.6 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Sections 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 or 12.3) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that: (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and

58 152003688_8 (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 5.14 or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation. SECTION 5.7 Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, not later than 12:00 noon on the date of any proposed borrowing and (ii) otherwise, prior to the proposed date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Sections 2.3(b) and 4.2 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and each Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the daily average Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If any Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. (b) Payments by the Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder that a Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case maybe, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

59 152003688_8 (c) Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several. The failure of any Lender to make available its Commitment Percentage of any Loan requested by the Borrowers shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date. SECTION 5.8 Changed Circumstances. (a) Circumstances Affecting Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or SONIA Availability. Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a SONIA Daily Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or SONIA Daily Rate with respect to a proposed SONIA Daily Rate Loan or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Eurocurrency Loans during such Interest Period or the SONIA Daily Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such SONIA Daily Rate Loans, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the US Borrower. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the US Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SONIA Daily Rate Loans, as applicable, in the affected currency or currencies and the right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or SONIA Daily Rate Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended, and the Borrowers shall either (A) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such Eurocurrency Rate Loan SONIA Daily Rate Loan, as applicable, together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 5.1(d)), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or on the Interest Payment Date for such SONIA Daily Rate Loan, as applicable; or (B) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or SONIA Daily Rate Loan, as applicable, to a Base Rate Loan in Dollars as of the last day of such Interest Period or on the Interest Payment Date for such SONIA Daily Rate Loan, as applicable. (b) Laws Affecting Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or SONIA Daily Rate Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or SONIA Daily Rate Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the US Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the US Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SONIA Daily Rate Loans, as applicable, and the right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or continue any Loan as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrowers may select only Base Rate Loans, (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully

60 152003688_8 continue to maintain a Eurocurrency Rate Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan in Dollars for the remainder of such Interest Period and (iii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a SONIA Daily Rate Loan to the next Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, the applicable Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan in Dollars. (c) Effect of Benchmark Transition Event. (i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt- in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the US Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace any Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the US Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Lenders comprising Required Lenders. No replacement of any Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 5.8(c) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. (ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with US Borrower, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. (iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the US Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 5.8(c)(iv) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 5.8(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 5.8(c). (iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including USD LIBOR, EURIBOR or CDOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor

61 152003688_8 for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (x) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (y) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. (v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the US Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the US Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the US Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of the Base Rate based upon the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate. SECTION 5.9 Indemnity. Each Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss or expense (including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or SONIA Daily Rate Loan, foreign exchange losses or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained) which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by such Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or SONIA Daily Rate Loan (including the failure to make a payment of any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, other than at the direction of the Administrative Agent or any Lender), (b) due to any failure of such Borrower to borrow, continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor or any SONIA Daily Rate Loan on a date other than the Interest Payment Date therefor. The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Commitment Percentage of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the London or other applicable offshore interbank market for such currency and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the US Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. All of the obligations of the Credit Parties under this Section 5.9 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. SECTION 5.10 Increased Costs. (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or

62 152003688_8 advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate) or any Issuing Lender; (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans (other than Base Rate Loans) made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, any Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to any such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender, or an Issuing Lender or such other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, such other Recipient or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender or such other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s or such other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender or an Issuing Lender or any other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6)

63 152003688_8 months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies the US Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s or such other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). (e) Survival. All of the obligations of the Credit Parties under this Section 5.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. SECTION 5.11 Taxes. (a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 5.11, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA. (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (d) Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the US Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.9(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such

64 152003688_8 payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). (f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.11, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.11(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Person: (A) Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding

65 152003688_8 Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (2) an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

66 152003688_8 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. SECTION 5.12 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.10, or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.11, then such Lender shall, at the request of a Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.10 or Section 5.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.10, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.11, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 5.12(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the US Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.9), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 5.10 or Section 5.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an

67 152003688_8 Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: (i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.9; (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.9) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non- Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. (c) Selection of Lending Office. Subject to Section 5.12(a), each Lender may make any Loan to the Borrowers through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise alter the rights of the parties hereto. SECTION 5.13 Incremental Loans. (a) At any time, the US Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders elect to request the establishment of: (i) one or more incremental term loan commitments (any such incremental term loan commitment, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) to make one or more additional term loan (any such additional term loan, an “Incremental Term Loan”) in Dollars; or (ii) one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment” and, together with the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Loan Commitments”) to make revolving credit loans in Dollars under the Revolving Credit Facility (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Increase” and, together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Loans”); provided that (1) the total aggregate principal amount for all such Incremental Loan Commitments shall not (as of any date of incurrence thereof) exceed $250,000,000 and (2) the total aggregate amount for each Incremental Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Loans made thereunder) shall not be less than a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 or, if less, the remaining amount permitted pursuant to the

68 152003688_8 foregoing clause (1). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the US Borrower proposes that any Incremental Loan Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Each Lender (or any Affiliate of any Lender and/or any Approved Fund) shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to provide the Incremental Loan Commitment and if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to provide an Incremental Loan Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall notify the US Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve full amount of a requested increase, the US Borrower may invite any other Person reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to provide an Incremental Loan Commitment (any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender, any Approved Fund or such Person, an “Incremental Lender”). Any proposed Incremental Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any Incremental Loan Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Loan Commitment. The Administrative Agent and the US Borrower shall determine the final allocation of the Incremental Loan Commitments by the Incremental Lenders. Any Incremental Loan Commitment shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (subject, in the case of an Incremental Term Loan incurred solely to finance a substantially concurrent Limited Condition Acquisition, to Section 1.13): (A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to (1) any Incremental Loan Commitment, (2) the making of any Incremental Loans pursuant thereto and (3) any Permitted Acquisition consummated in connection therewith; (B) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received from the US Borrower an Officer’s Compliance Certificate demonstrating, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that the US Borrower is in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 9.15 based on the financial statements most recently delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(b), as applicable, both before and after giving effect (on a Pro Forma Basis) to (1) any Incremental Loan Commitment, (2) the making of any Incremental Loans pursuant thereto and (3) any Permitted Acquisition consummated in connection therewith; (C) each of the representations and warranties contained in Article VII shall be true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true, correct and complete in all respects, on such Increased Amount Date with the same effect as if made on and as of such date (except for any such representation and warranty that by its terms is made only as of an earlier date, which representation and warranty shall remain true and correct as of such earlier date); (D) the proceeds of any Incremental Loans shall be used for general corporate purposes of the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including Permitted Acquisitions); (E) each Incremental Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Loans made thereunder) shall constitute Obligations of the US Borrower and shall be secured and guaranteed with the other Extensions of Credit on a pari passu basis; (F) (1) in the case of each Incremental Term Loan (the terms of which shall be set forth in the relevant Lender Joinder Agreement):

69 152003688_8 (x) such Incremental Term Loan will mature and amortize in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Incremental Lenders making such Incremental Term Loan and the US Borrower, but will not in any event have a maturity date earlier than the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; (y) the Applicable Margin and pricing grid, if applicable, for such Incremental Term Loan shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Incremental Lenders and the US Borrower on the applicable Increased Amount Date; and (2) in the case of each Incremental Revolving Credit Increase (the terms of which shall be set forth in the relevant Lender Joinder Agreement): (x) such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall mature on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, shall bear interest and be entitled to fees, in each case at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Incremental Lenders and the US Borrower, and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Loans; interest rate margins and/or unused fees with respect to any Incremental Revolving Credit Increase may be higher than the interest rate margins and/or unused fees applicable to the then existing Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that if the interest rate margins and/or unused fees, as applicable, in respect of any Incremental Revolving Credit Increase exceed the interest rate margins and/or unused fees, as applicable, for the Initial Revolving Credit Facility, then the interest rate margins and/or unused fees, as applicable, for the Initial Revolving Credit Facility shall be increased so that the interest rate margins and/or unused fees, as applicable, are equal to the interest rate margins and/or unused fees for such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase; provided further that, in determining the interest rate margins and unused fees applicable to the Incremental Revolving Credit Increase and the then existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (AA) any upfront fees payable by the US Borrower to the Lenders under the then existing Revolving Credit Commitments or any Incremental Revolving Credit Increase, in each case in the initial primary syndication thereof and the effects of any and all interest rate floors, shall be included (with such upfront fees being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (BB) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to any Arranger (or its affiliates) or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) in connection with the then existing Revolving Credit Commitments or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of any Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall be excluded and (CC) in the event that, at the time of determination, the Applicable Margin is determined based on a pricing grid, the interest rate margins and unused fees shall be measured for purposes of this clause (F) by reference to each level of the pricing grid; (y) the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations will be reallocated by the Administrative Agent on the applicable Increased Amount Date among the Revolving Credit Lenders (including

70 152003688_8 the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase) in accordance with their revised Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (and the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase) agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the US Borrower shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to Section 5.9 in connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment); and (z) except as provided above, all of the other terms and conditions applicable to such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Section 5.13, be identical to the terms and conditions applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility; (G) any Incremental Lender with an Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Revolving Credit Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and any Extensions of Credit made in connection with each Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as the other Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder; (H) such Incremental Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Lender Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders (which Lender Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 5.13); and (I) the US Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents (including, without limitation, a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of each Credit Party authorizing such Incremental Loan and/or Incremental Term Loan Commitment) reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. (b) (i) The Incremental Term Loans shall be on such other terms as shall be set forth in an amendment to this Agreement including, among other provisions, amortization, optional prepayments and mandatory prepayments.

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 5.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (iii) Certain Fees.

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit commissions pursuant to Section 3.3 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Credit Commitment

73 152003688_8 Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 5.14.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non- Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 12.26, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. (v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the US Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, repay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.14. (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Credit Facility (without giving effect to Section 5.15(a)(iv)), 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 Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. SECTION 5.16 Non-US Borrowers. (a) At any time after the Closing Date, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, US Borrower may elect to add any of its Foreign Subsidiaries

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lenders and each Lender at its option may make any Extension of Credit or otherwise perform its obligations hereunder through any Lending Office (each, a “Designated Lender”); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of Borrowers to repay any Extension of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Each Lender hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates that is a Secured Party, that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document or with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate obligations under any of the Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral. ARTICLE XI THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SECTION 11.1 Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and neither the US Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. (b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such Issuing Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including, without limitation, to enter into additional Loan Documents or supplements to existing Loan Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties). In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and

111 152003688_8 any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article XI for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of Articles XI and XII (including Section 12.3, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. SECTION 11.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the US Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. SECTION 11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.2 and Section 10.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the US Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.

112 152003688_8 (c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith (including, without limitation, any report provided to it by an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.9), (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VI or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or (vi) the utilization of any Issuing Lender’s L/C Commitment (it being understood and agreed that each Issuing Lender shall monitor compliance with its own L/C Commitment without any further action by the Administrative Agent). SECTION 11.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. SECTION 11.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub- agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. SECTION 11.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the US Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the US Borrower and subject to the consent of the US Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation) to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation

113 152003688_8 Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. (b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the US Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the US Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. (c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 12.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. (d) Any resignation by, or removal of, Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender, if in its sole discretion it elects to, and Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Lender, if in its sole discretion it elects to, shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. SECTION 11.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon

114 152003688_8 the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. SECTION 11.8 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the syndication agents, documentation agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder. SECTION 11.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. (a) Each of the Lenders (including in its or any of its Affiliate’s capacities as a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion: (i) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Loan Document (A) upon the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than (1) contingent indemnification obligations and (2) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit which have been Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender shall have been made), (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition to a Person other than a Credit Party permitted under the Loan Documents, or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 12.2; (ii) to subordinate any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien; and (iii) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.9. In each case as specified in this Section 11.9, the Administrative Agent will, at the US Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 11.9. In the case of any such sale, transfer or disposal of any property constituting Collateral in a transaction constituting an Asset Disposition permitted pursuant to Section 9.5 to a Person other than a Credit Party, the Liens created by any of the Security Documents on such property shall be automatically released without need for further action by any person.

115 152003688_8 (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. SECTION 11.10 Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements. No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 10.4 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XI to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. SECTION 11.11 Erroneous Payments. (a) Each Lender, each Issuing Lender, each other Secured Party and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or Issuing Lender or any other Secured Party (or the Lender Affiliate of a Secured Party) or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 11.11(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. (b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.

116 152003688_8 (c) In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in Same Day Funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Overnight Rate. (d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 12.9 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person. (e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.11 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations.

117 152003688_8 (f) Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. (g) Nothing in this Section 11.11 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

The Administrative Agent or the US Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Each Lender, such Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender agree to notify the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. (d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. SECTION 12.6 Waiver of Jury Trial.

SECTION 12.8 Injunctive Relief.

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested, but not funded by, the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, 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 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 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 and 12.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 paragraph (d) of this Section (other than a purported assignment to a natural Person or the US Borrower or any of the US Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates or a direct competitor of the US Borrower or its Subsidiaries, which shall be null and void.)

128 152003688_8 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non- fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each Lender Joinder Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the US Borrower and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or any Borrower or any of such Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (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 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) such Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.3(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). 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, modification or waiver described in Section 12.2(b), (c), (d) or (e) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.9, 5.10 and 5.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.11(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.11(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.12 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.10 or 5.11, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the US Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the US Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.12(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.6 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non- fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other

129 152003688_8 obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. (f) Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender. SECTION 12.10 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Related Parties in connection with the Credit Facility, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in connection with marketing of services by such Affiliate or Related Party to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any regulatory or similar authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or in any legal, judicial, administrative or other compulsory process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement, under any other Loan Document or under any Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) to an investor or prospective investor in an Approved Fund that also agrees that Information shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating an investment in such Approved Fund, (iv) to a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder or secured party in an Approved Fund in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for an Approved Fund, or (v) to a nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information regarding any Borrower and its Subsidiaries, the Loans and the Loan Documents in connection with ratings issued with respect to an Approved Fund, (g) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Credit Facility, (h) with the consent of the US Borrower, (i) with respect to deal terms and other information customarily reported to Thomson Reuters, other bank market data collectors and similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of the Loan Documents, (j) to the extent such Information (i) becomes

130 152003688_8 publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates from a third party that is not, to such Person’s knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations to any Borrower, (k) to governmental regulatory authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s regulatory compliance policy if the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems necessary for the mitigation of claims by those authorities against the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, (l) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Person, or (m) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof; provided that, in the case of information received from a Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. SECTION 12.11 Performance of Duties. Each of the Credit Party’s obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be performed by such Credit Party at its sole cost and expense. SECTION 12.12 All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated. SECTION 12.13 Survival. (a) All representations and warranties set forth in Article VII and all representations and warranties contained in any certificate, or any of the Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, any such representation or warranty made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute representations and warranties made under this Agreement. All representations and warranties made under this Agreement shall be made or deemed to be made at and as of the Closing Date (except those that are expressly made as of a specific date), shall survive the Closing Date and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders or any borrowing hereunder. (b) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XII and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against events arising after such termination as well as before. SECTION 12.14 Titles and Captions. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and subsections in, and the table of contents of, this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement.

131 152003688_8 SECTION 12.15 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provision is held to be so prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the US Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such provision to preserve the original intent thereof in such jurisdiction (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders). SECTION 12.16 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and/or the Arrangers, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 6.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. (b) Electronic Execution. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document, amendment, approval, consent, waiver, modification, information, notice, certificate, report, statement, disclosure, or authorization to be signed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures or execution in the form of an Electronic Record, and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Each party hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature or execution in the form of an Electronic Record shall be valid and binding on itself and each of the other parties hereto to the same extent as a manual, original signature. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the parties of a manually signed paper which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed paper converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature from any party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the executing party without further verification and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by an original manually executed counterpart thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the

132 152003688_8 Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any of the Credit Parties, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (B) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto. SECTION 12.17 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been paid and satisfied in full in cash, all Letters of Credit have been terminated or expired (or been Cash Collateralized) or otherwise satisfied in a manner acceptable to the Issuing Lender) and the Revolving Credit Commitment has been terminated. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this Agreement which survives such termination. SECTION 12.18 USA PATRIOT Act; Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act or any other Anti-Money Laundering Laws, each of them is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act or such Anti-Money Laundering Laws. SECTION 12.19 Independent Effect of Covenants. Each Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Articles VIII or IX hereof shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, no Borrower shall engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any covenant contained in Articles VIII or IX, before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, such Borrower shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained in Articles VIII or IX. SECTION 12.20 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. (a) In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) the facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s- length commercial transaction between any Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, and such Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof), (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for such Borrower or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person, (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of such Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any Arranger or Lender has advised or is currently advising such Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to such Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the financing transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, (iv) the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the

133 152003688_8 Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship and (v) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Credit Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate. (b) Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that each Lender, the Arrangers and any Affiliate thereof may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any of the Borrowers, any Affiliate thereof or any other person or entity that may do business with or own securities of any of the foregoing, all as if such Lender, Arranger or Affiliate thereof were not a Lender or Arranger or an Affiliate thereof (or an agent or any other person with any similar role under the Credit Facilities) and without any duty to account therefor to any other Lender, the Arrangers, the Borrowers or any Affiliate of the foregoing. Each Lender, the Arrangers and any Affiliate thereof may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrowers or any Affiliate thereof for services in connection with this Agreement, the Credit Facilities or otherwise without having to account for the same to any other Lender, the Arrangers, the Borrowers or any Affiliate of the foregoing. SECTION 12.21 Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement, effective from and after the Closing Date. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of any indebtedness or other obligations owing to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement based on facts or events occurring or existing prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. On the Closing Date, the credit facilities described in the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be amended, supplemented, modified and restated in their entirety by the facilities described herein, and all loans and other obligations of the Borrowers outstanding as of such date under the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be deemed to be loans and obligations outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein, without any further action by any Person, except that the Administrative Agent shall make such transfers of funds as are necessary in order that the outstanding balance of such Loans, together with any Loans funded on the Closing Date, reflect the respective Revolving Credit Commitment of the Lenders hereunder. SECTION 12.22 Inconsistencies with Other Documents. In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control; provided that any provision of the Security Documents which imposes additional burdens on any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or further restricts the rights of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or gives the Administrative Agent or Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect. SECTION 12.23 Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. (a) Each Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti- terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws, whether within Canada or elsewhere (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding such Borrower, its directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of such Borrower, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

134 152003688_8 (b) If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of a Borrower or any authorized signatories of a Borrower for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent: (i) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and (ii) shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of any Borrower or any authorized signatories of such Borrower on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from such Borrower or any such authorized signatory in doing so. SECTION 12.24 Maximum Amount. In no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 (the “Criminal Code Section”) of the Criminal Code (Canada)), payable by any Canadian Credit Party to any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceed the effective annual rate of interest lawfully permitted under the Criminal Code Section on the “credit advanced” (as defined in such section) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Further, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of such “interest” is determined to be contrary to the provisions of the Criminal Code Section, such payment, collection, or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the affected Lender, and any Canadian Credit Party and such “interest” shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the Criminal Code Section so as to result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a rate not in contravention of the Criminal Code Section, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amounts or rates of interest required to be paid to that Lender; and (ii) second, by reducing any fees, charges, expenses and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender that would constitute “interest”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all such adjustments, if any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code Section, then any such Canadian Credit Party shall be entitled, by notice in writing to such affected Lender, to obtain reimbursement from such Lender in an amount equal to such excess. SECTION 12.25 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Credit Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the

135 152003688_8 Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Credit Party in the Agreement Currency, such Credit Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Credit Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). SECTION 12.26 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers, by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. SECTION 12.27 Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the US Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments; (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain

136 152003688_8 transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. (b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the US Borrower or any other Credit Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger and their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). SECTION 12.28 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Support QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): (a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents

137 152003688_8 that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. (b) As used in this Section 12.28, the following terms have the following meanings: “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

ARTICLE 2 PURCHASE AND SALE; PURCHASE PRICE Section 2.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property shall be TWENTY- SEVEN MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND and NO/100 Dollars ($27,750,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”), plus or minus prorations as hereinafter provided and shall be payable as hereinafter set forth. Section 2.2 Earnest Money. Within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit into the Earnest Money Escrow (defined below) with Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”) the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) (together with any interest earned on such amount, the “Earnest Money”).

Purchaser and Seller shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees charged by the Title Company for the Earnest Money Escrow. The Earnest Money shall be applied at closing to the Purchase Price. Section 2.3 Payment of Purchase Price. Provided the conditions to closing set forth herein have been satisfied or waived, in writing, by Purchaser, the Purchase Price, net of prorations and adjustments as provided in Article 11, shall be paid on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately collectible funds, first, if necessary, to the Title Company and then to an account specified by Seller. ARTICLE 3 DUE DILIGENCE Section 3.1 Due Diligence Information. Within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser true, correct and complete copies of those documents identified on Schedule 1 (collectively, the “Property Information”) but only to the

3 61639166 v1 extent that they (i) pertain to the Property, and (ii) are located at the Property, are in any property manager’s office, or are otherwise within the actual possession or control of Seller, its employees, property managers, consultants, attorneys, or other agents. The Property Documents and other information provided by Seller and its agents to Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement are for informational purposes only, subject to the express representations of Seller contained herein. Subject to Seller’s Representations, Purchaser (a) is not in any way entitled to rely upon the accuracy or completeness of the information within the Property Documents and other third party information provided by Seller and its agents and (b) Purchaser will rely exclusively on its own inspections and consultants with respect to all matters Purchaser deems relevant to its decision to acquire the Property. The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed or other termination of this Agreement and shall not be deemed merged into the Deed or any instrument of conveyance delivered at Closing. The parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser has been in sole possession and control of the Property since at least 2008; prior to Seller’s purchase of the Property. ARTICLE 4 TITLE AND SURVEY Section 4.1 Title Evidence. Following the Effective Date, Purchaser will order, at Purchaser’s cost a title commitment for an owner’s title insurance policy issued by Title Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price, covering title to the Property on or after the Effective Date, showing title in Seller, containing requirements for extended coverage over general exceptions one through six contained therein (which Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy on or before Closing), and insuring Purchaser as the fee owner of the Property subject only to the recordation of a deed for the Property from Seller to Purchaser (the “Title Commitment”). The Title Commitment and the recorded documents referenced in the Title Commitment are collectively referred to as the “Title Evidence”. Section 4.2 Permitted Exceptions. If Purchaser is not satisfied, in its sole and absolute discretion, with the condition of title, then Purchaser may notify Seller of any of the Title Evidence (each, an “Objection” and, collectively, “Objections”), which Objections must be in writing and must be delivered to Seller on or prior to the date that is two (5) days prior to the Closing Date. Seller will thereafter, at its election, have the right (but not the obligation) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any or all such Objections to be cured on or before Closing (provided that with respect to Existing Liens (as defined below) Seller shall be obligated to take all efforts necessary to cause Existing Liens to be cured). If, Seller elects to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any or all such Objections to be cured, and after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so, Seller is unable to cure one or more Objections (other than Existing Liens), Seller shall provide written notice (an “Inability to Cure Notice”) to Purchaser no later than two (2) days after receipt of the Objections (the “Response Deadline”). If Seller does not timely provide an Inability to Cure Notice to Purchaser, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not cure any Objections. If Seller delivers an Inability to Cure Notice to Purchaser or does not timely deliver an Inability to Cure Notice, Purchaser may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to (a) terminate this Agreement by providing written notice thereof to Seller on or before the date occurring two (2) days after (1) the receipt of an Inability to Cure Notice or (2) the Response Deadline, if Seller does not timely deliver an Inability to Cure Notice, or (b) accept title subject to any Objections for which Seller is unable to cure as identified in an Inability to Cure Notice, other than any Existing

4 61639166 v1 Liens. All items to which Purchaser does not timely object in the Title Evidence, and all items that Purchaser has been deemed to have accepted pursuant to clause (b) of the prior sentence shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Permitted Exceptions”; provided, however, that in any event none of the following shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions and Seller shall in all cases be obligated to cure: (A) judgments against Seller or any affiliate of Seller, (B) mortgages, trust deeds, or other monetary liens (including, without limitation, any mechanics’, materialmen’s and/or vendors’ liens with respect to the Property, and any real estate tax liens other than liens for taxes and assessments not delinquent), (C) any matters affecting the Property created on or after the Effective Date that are not otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and/or (D) defects, obligations or exceptions of a definite and ascertainable amount that can be satisfied solely by the payment of cash (collectively, “Existing Liens”). If Purchaser does not timely provide Seller with a notice of title defects as provided above or does not terminate this Agreement due to Seller’s inability to cure such title defects, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all objections and defects to any matters of record title, but not to any Existing Liens or new matters that arise thereafter. Section 4.3 Title Policy. At Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts as set forth in Section 4.2 above to (i) cause the Title Company to issue and deliver to Purchaser an ALTA 2006 Owner’s Title Policy in accordance with the Title Commitment and showing no exceptions other than the Permitted Exceptions, with extended coverage over all general exceptions, and insuring Purchaser as the owner of the Property (the “Title Policy”), and (ii) if Purchaser requests, execute and deliver to the Title Company an Affidavit of No Change in connection with the ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey of the Property dated April 11, 2008 and prepared by Rodney K. Young as Job Number SS#44004.DWG_JSF (the “Existing Survey”), in such form as is reasonably acceptable to the Title Company so as to permit removal of any standard survey exceptions in the Title Policy (the “Survey Affidavit”); provided that Seller shall only be required to provide a Survey Affidavit if no changes to the Property have occurred since the date of the Existing Survey and provided further that if Seller delivers the Survey Affidavit to Purchaser and its Title Company, Seller shall have no further obligation to Purchaser or its Title Company with respect to any survey matters in this Agreement or the Title Commitment or Title Policy. The cost of the Title Policy, including extended coverage shall be paid by Purchaser. Any additional endorsements as Purchaser or Purchaser’s lender, if any, may desire (“Additional Endorsements”) shall be paid for by Purchaser, and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in all reasonable respects in order to enable Purchaser to obtain such Additional Endorsements, without any cost or expense to Seller. ARTICLE 5 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING; LEASE Section 5.1 Conditions to Closing. Without limitation of other conditions set forth herein, Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is subject to satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in this Article 5.

14 61639166 v1 representations or warranties hereunder (which are not cured within fifteen (15) days after written demand by Purchaser), Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (1) terminate its obligations under this Agreement by further written notice thereof of such election to Seller at or prior to Closing, or (2) elect to enforce its rights hereunder by an action for specific performance. If Purchaser so elects to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive back the Earnest Money (together with all interest, if any, earned thereon) and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for any and all reasonable, actual and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses suffered or incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated under this Agreement, including without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and any costs of terminating the escrow and any cancellation fee for the Title Commitment in an amount up to $50,000. The remedies set forth in this Section 10.1 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to Purchaser for Seller’s failure to close the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Section 10.2 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser shall default in any material obligation hereunder (which default is not cured within fifteen (15) days after demand by Seller), Seller shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate its obligations under this Agreement by written notice thereof to Purchaser and to retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages (provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.2 shall be intended to limit Purchaser’s specific indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement or any agreement related to this Agreement). PURCHASER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES ARE REASONABLE IN AMOUNT CONSIDERING ALL OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE PARTIES’ ESTIMATION OF THE POSSIBLE RANGE OF DAMAGES TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A BREACH, THE DIFFICULTY AND IMPRACTICABILITY OF ASCERTAINING OR PROVING WITH ANY DEGREE OF CERTAINTY THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES AND THE DESIRE OF PURCHASER TO LIMIT ITS POTENTIAL LIABILITY TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A BREACH. ________________ SELLER _______________ PURCHASER ARTICLE 11 CLOSING ADJUSTMENTS AND CLOSING COSTS Section 11.1 Prorations.

Chicago Title and Trust Company, at its sole discretion, may reduce or waive the escrow trust fee for these joint order escrow instructions in the event the funds on deposit herein are

C-2 61639166 v1 transferred to or disbursed in connection with sale escrow trust instructions or an agency closing transaction established at Chicago Title. Standard Provisions: Investment: Deposits made pursuant to these instructions may be invested on behalf of any party or parties hereto; provided that any direction to escrow trustee for such investment shall be expressed in writing and contain the consent of all parties to this escrow, and also provided that escrow trustee is in receipt of the taxpayer's identification number and investment forms as required. Escrow trustee will, upon request, furnish information concerning its procedures and fee schedules for investment. In the event the escrow trustee is requested to invest deposits hereunder, Chicago Title and Trust Company is not to be held responsible for any loss of principal or interest which may be incurred as a result of making the investments or redeeming said investment for the purposes of these escrow trust instructions. Direction Not to Invest/Right to Commingle: Except as to deposits of funds for which escrow trustee has received express written direction concerning investment or other handling, the parties hereto direct the escrow trustee NOT to invest any funds deposited by the parties under the terms of this escrow and waive any rights which they may have under Section 2-8 of the Corporate Fiduciary Act (205 ILCS 620/2-8) to receive interest on funds deposited hereunder. In the absence of an authorized direction to invest funds, the parties hereto agree that the escrow trustee shall be under no duty to invest or reinvest any such funds at any time held by it hereunder; and, further, that escrow trustee may commingle such funds with other deposits or with its own funds in the manner provided for the administration of funds under said Section 2-8 and may use any part or all of such funds for its own benefit without obligation to any party for interest or earnings derived thereby, if any. Further, even with appropriate instructions to invest Escrow Deposits, Escrow Trustee may commingle the Escrow Deposits with other funds in a trust account in order to facilitate placing the Escrow Deposits into a segregated interest bearing account and to disburse the Escrow Deposits once they have been removed from such segregated interest bearing account as required by the terms of this Agreement. Provided, however, nothing herein shall diminish escrow trustee's obligation to apply the full amount of such funds in accordance with the terms of these escrow instructions. Compliance With Court Order: The undersigned authorize and direct the escrow trustee to disregard any and all notices, warnings or demands given or made by the undersigned (other than jointly) or by any other person. The said undersigned also hereby authorize and direct the escrow trustee to accept, comply with, and obey any and all writs, orders, judgments or decrees entered or issued by any court with or without jurisdiction; and in case the said escrow trustee obeys or complies with any such writ, order, judgment or decree of any court, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or any other person, by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such writ, order, judgment or decree be entered without jurisdiction or be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. In case the escrow trustee is made a party defendant to any suit or proceedings regarding this escrow trust, the undersigned, for themselves, their heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns, jointly and severally, agree to pay to said escrow trustee, upon written demand, all costs, attorney's fees, and expenses incurred with respect thereto. The escrow trustee shall have a lien on the deposit(s) herein for any and all such costs, fees and expenses. If said costs, fees and expenses are not paid, then the escrow trustee shall have the right to reimburse itself out of the said deposit(s). Disputes/Circumstance not contemplated: If any dispute arises with respect to the disbursement of any funds on deposit or if circumstances arise that were not contemplated or described in the original escrow agreement, and Escrow Agent is unsure as to its duties as a result, Escrow Agent may continue to hold said funds until either in receipt of a joint order from the parties or a court order directing payment. In such instance, Escrow Agent may elect to commence an action in interpleader and in conjunction therewith remit the Escrow Deposit to a court of competent jurisdiction pending resolution of such dispute, and the parties hereto hereby indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent for any action taken by it in good faith in the execution of its duties hereunder. The parties further agree that the cost of any such action shall be deducted from the Escrow Deposit prior to disbursement to the parties. Disclaimer Re: Validity of Documentation:

C-3 61639166 v1 In its capacity as Escrow Trustee, Escrow Trustee shall not be responsible for the genuineness or validity of any security, instrument, document or item deposited with it and shall have no responsibility other than to faithfully follow the instructions contained herein, and shall not be responsible for the validity or enforceability of any security interest of any party and it is fully protected in acting in accordance with any written instrument given to it hereunder by any of the parties hereto and reasonably believed by Escrow Trustee to have been signed by the proper person. Escrow Trustee may assume that any person purporting to give any notice hereunder has been duly authorized to do so. Execution: These escrow trust instructions are governed by and are to be construed under the laws of the state of Illinois. The escrow trust instructions, amendments or supplemental instructions hereto, may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

-1- AmericasActive:14265831.9 FEDERAL SIGNAL CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background, Purpose of Plan, and Applicable Requirements The Company maintains the Plan so that eligible Employees of the Company and the other Employers under the Plan may accumulate funds for their retirement. The Plan was originally established as the Federal Signal 401(k) Retirement Plan, effective as of July 1, 1976. The Plan was amended and restated in its entirety several times, including effective as of January 1, 1997 for compliance purposes, January 1, 2002 for benefit provisions, January 1, 2010 for a Prior Plan merger and various other changes considered desirable by the Company, as well as January 1, 2015 for various changes considered desirable by the Company. Effective as of June 1, 2002, a portion of the Plan is designed to be primarily invested in Federal Signal Common Stock through the Federal Signal Stock Fund, except that the Trustee may hold some of the assets of the Federal Signal Stock Fund in cash pending investment, distribution, reallocation or transfer.

For this purpose, Compensation shall only include Compensation paid during the period that the Participant’s election to make Pre-Tax Contributions is in effect. An Employee is not required to make Pre-Tax Contributions in order to participate in the Plan. (a) Deemed Pre-Tax Contribution Rate. Subject to the conditions and limitations of the Plan, (i) each Participant whose participation in the Plan is not subject to a collective bargaining agreement; and (ii) effective January 1, 2018, each eligible Participant who (A) is an IBEW Local 134 Employee (as defined in Appendix E) and (B) is employed at the Company’s Signal Division; who does not make an affirmative Pre-Tax or Roth Contribution election (including an election to not make Pre-Tax or Roth Contributions) within 30 days of first becoming eligible shall be deemed to have elected a Pre-Tax Contribution rate of 2% of Compensation for the Plan Year. Prior to the date on which such deemed Pre-Tax Contribution rate becomes effective, each Participant described in the preceding sentence shall be provided with a notice explaining his or her right to not make Pre-Tax Contributions (or to elect a different Pre-Tax (or Roth) Contribution rate) and, after receiving such notice, shall have a reasonable period before the deemed Pre-Tax Contribution rate becomes effective in which to elect to receive the Compensation in the form of cash in lieu of making Pre-Tax Contributions. (b) Carryover Contribution Rate. Subject to an applicable Supplement, each Participant, who, immediately before becoming a Participant in this Plan, was an active participant in a Prior Plan and had an election to make Code Section 401(k) or Roth compensation deferrals on file under the Prior Plan, shall be deemed to have elected the same percentage of Pre-Tax or Roth Contributions, respectively, as he or she elected under the Prior Plan until he or she makes a Pre-Tax Contribution election under this Subsection 4.1 or a Roth Contribution election under Subsection 4.4. Each Participant who was eligible to participate in a Prior Plan but did not have an election to make Code Section 401(k) or Roth compensation deferrals on file under the Prior Plan shall be deemed to have elected a Pre-Tax Contribution rate of 2% of Compensation for the Plan Year. Prior to the date on which such deemed Pre-Tax Contribution rate becomes effective, each Participant described in the preceding sentence shall be provided with a notice explaining his or her right to not make Pre-Tax Contributions (or to elect a different Pre-Tax (or Roth) Contribution rate) and, after receiving such notice, shall have a reasonable period before the deemed Pre-Tax Contribution rate becomes effective in which to elect to receive the Compensation in the form

-19- AmericasActive:14265831.9 of cash in lieu of making Pre-Tax Contributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 4.1(b) to the contrary, each Mark Rite Participant who, immediately before becoming a Mark Rite Participant in this Plan, had an election to make Code Section 401(k) or Roth compensation deferrals on file under the Mark Rite 401(k) Plan shall be deemed to have elected the same percentage of deferrals as he or she elected under the Mark Rite 401(k) Plan as Pre-Tax Contributions until he or she makes a Pre-Tax Contribution election under this Subsection 4.1 or a Roth Contribution election under Subsection 4.4. Each Mark Rite Participant who, immediately before becoming a Mark Rite Participant in this Plan, was eligible to participate in the Mark Rite 401(k) Plan but was not making Code Section 401(k) or Roth compensation deferrals under the Mark Rite 401(k) Plan shall be deemed to have elected not to make any Pre- Tax, Roth, or, prior to January 1, 2020, After-Tax Contributions until he or she makes a contribution election under this Subsection 4.1, Subsection 4.4, and/or, prior to January 1, 2020, Subsection 4.2, as applicable. (c) Automatic Annual Increase. Subject to the conditions and limitations of the Plan and an applicable Supplement, (i) each Participant whose participation in the Plan is not subject to a collective bargaining agreement; and (ii) effective January 1, 2018, each eligible Participant who (A) is an IBEW Local 134 Employee (as defined in Appendix E) and (B) is employed at the Company’s Signal Division; shall be deemed to have elected to increase his or her Pre-Tax Contribution rate or, effective January 1, 2021, his or her Roth Contribution rate by one percentage point effective each January 1; provided, that such automatic annual increase shall not apply to the extent such increase would cause the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contribution rate, his or her Roth Contribution rate, or the sum of his or her Pre- Tax Contribution rate and his or her Roth Contribution rate to exceed 10%. If a Participant has elected to make both Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions, then the automatic annual increase shall apply to his or her Pre-Tax Contribution rate. Prior to the commencement of the automatic annual increase (and each subsequent January 1), each eligible Participant shall be provided with a notice explaining his or her right to decline participation in the automatic annual increase and, after receiving such notice, shall have a reasonable period before the automatic annual increase becomes effective to decline participation. This automatic annual increase shall not apply in future years to a Participant who has previously declined participation, unless such Participant makes an affirmative election to participate in the automatic annual increase or ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan and again becomes a Participant under Subsection 3.2. In addition, this automatic annual increase shall not apply to a Mark Rite Participant, unless such Mark Rite Participant makes an affirmative election to participate in the automatic annual increase or ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan and again becomes a Participant under Subsection 3.2. 4.2 After-Tax Contributions Prior to January 1, 2020, each Participant was also allowed to make After-Tax Contributions by electing to contribute an amount from his or her Compensation after the

-20- AmericasActive:14265831.9 imposition of Federal income taxes. Subject to the conditions and limitations of the Plan, each Participant was allowed to elect on an Approved Form of Election to make After-Tax Contributions in whole percentages of 1% to 6% of Compensation. A Participant’s After-Tax Contributions were made by regular payroll deductions or in any other method approved by the Committee. On and after January 1, 2020, no Participant shall be allowed to make After-Tax Contributions under the Plan. 4.3 Catch-Up Contributions All Participants who are eligible to make Pre-Tax Contributions and who have attained (or shall attain) age 50 before the close of the Plan Year may elect on an Approved Form of Election to make Catch-Up Contributions for each Plan Year in whole percentages of 1% to 40% of Compensation, subject to the limitations of Code Section 414(v). The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416, as applicable, by reason of a Participant’s Catch-Up Contributions. 4.4 Roth Contributions Each Participant may make Roth Contributions by electing to defer an amount of Compensation after the imposition of Federal income taxes. Subject to the conditions and limitations of the Plan, each Participant may elect on an Approved Form of Election to make Roth Contributions for each Plan Year in whole percentages of 1% up to 40% of Compensation. For this purpose, Compensation shall only include Compensation paid during the period that the Participant’s election to make Roth Contributions is in effect. An Employee is not required to make Roth Contributions in order to participate in the Plan. 4.5 Roth Catch-Up Contributions All Participant who are eligible to make Roth Contributions and who have attained (or shall attain) age 50 before the close of the Plan Year may elect on an Approved Form of Election to make Roth Catch-Up Contributions for each Plan year in whole percentages of 1% to 40% of Compensation, subject to the limitations of Code Section 414(v).

In the event that a Participant elects a combined rate of Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions that exceeds the maximum percentage limitation then in effect, to the extent necessary to comply with such limitation, the Participant’s Roth Contributions shall be reduced first, and then the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contribution rate shall be reduced second.

-21- AmericasActive:14265831.9 4.7 Rules Applicable to Participant Contributions An Employer may limit the maximum contribution percentage of Pre-Tax, Catch-Up, Roth, and Roth Catch-Up Contributions, provided such policy does not impermissibly discriminate against Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees. Each Participant may elect to change, discontinue or resume Pre-Tax, Catch-Up, Roth, or Roth Catch-Up Contributions at any time by an Approved Form of Election; provided, however, that a Participant who is also a participant in the Federal Signal Corporation Savings Restoration Plan may not change, cease or otherwise modify the amount of his or her Pre-Tax or Roth Contribution election after December 31 for Compensation that otherwise would have been payable to him or her in the subsequent taxable year or years. Any Approved Form of Election shall be effective on the first day of the first payroll period for which the Employer can process such election. The Committee may establish additional rules regarding the timing and frequency of a change in the amount of Pre-Tax, Catch-Up, Roth, or Roth Catch-Up Contributions, provided such policy is applied uniformly to all similarly situated Participants. 4.8 Timing of Participant Contributions Each Employer shall make a contribution to the Plan equal to the amount of Pre-Tax, Catch-Up, Roth, and Roth Catch-Up Contributions made by each Participant employed by that Employer. Such contributions shall be paid to the Trustee as soon as practicable following the reduction in Participants’ Compensation, but in no event more than 15 business days after the end of the month in which the reduction in Compensation is made. 4.9 Rollover Contributions, Roth Rollover Contributions, and After-Tax Rollover Contributions At the direction of the Committee, at such time as the Committee determines, and in accordance with such rules as the Committee may establish from time to time, the Plan shall accept Rollover Contributions, Roth Rollover Contributions, and After-Tax Rollover Contributions on behalf of an Employee who is eligible to make Pre-Tax and Roth Contributions. Such Rollover, Roth Rollover, and After-Tax Rollover Contributions may be made from: (a) A tax-qualified plan described in Code Sections 401(a) or 403(a), including after- tax employee contributions (“After-Tax Rollover Contribution”) and designated Roth contributions made under a qualified Roth contribution program; (b) An annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b), excluding after-tax employee contributions, but including designated Roth contributions made under a qualified Roth contribution program; (c) An eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) that is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state, including designated Roth contributions made under a qualified Roth contribution program; and

-22- AmericasActive:14265831.9 (d) An individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Sections 408(a) or (b) that is eligible to be rolled over to a plan qualified under Code Section 401(a) and that would otherwise be includible in gross income. An eligible Employee may make a Rollover Contribution provided that such distribution is received by the Trustee within 60 days after the Employee’s receipt of such payment, or such amount is directly transferred to the Trust Fund from such other above plan, provided that After- Tax Rollover Contributions and Roth Rollover Contributions must be directly transferred to the Plan. The Plan shall separately account for Rollover Contributions, Roth Rollover Contributions, and After-Tax Rollover Contributions. The Employee must furnish the Employer or its designee an Approved Form of Election, including a written statement that the contribution is a Rollover Contribution, Roth Rollover Contribution, and/or After-Tax Rollover Contribution and such other statements and information as may be required by the Committee or its designee in order to establish that such contribution otherwise meets the requirements of law. If the Committee learns that all or part of a Rollover Contribution, Roth Rollover Contribution, or After-Tax Contribution did not meet the requirements of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and rulings thereunder, the Committee shall direct the Trustee to distribute to the Participant the ineligible portion of the Rollover Contribution, Roth Rollover Contribution, and/or After-Tax Contribution (and earnings thereon) that was credited to the Participant’s Account. 4.10 Uniformed Service Absence Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service shall be provided in accordance with Code Section 414(u) and, effective as of January 1, 2007, the Heroes Earnings Assistance Relief Tax Act of 2008.

-23- AmericasActive:14265831.9 SECTION 5 EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS 5.1 Matching Contributions The Employers shall make Matching Contributions to the Plan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Appendices to the Plan. A Participant shall only be eligible for Matching Contributions if, and to the extent, expressly provided for in the applicable Appendix to the Plan. 5.2 Service Based Contributions The Employers shall make Service Based Contributions to the Plan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Appendices to the Plan. A Participant shall only be eligible for Service Based Contributions if, and to the extent, expressly provided for in the applicable Appendix to the Plan. 5.3 Payment, Limitations, Verification, and Form of Payment of Employer Contributions (a) Matching Contributions for a payroll period shall be paid to the Trustee and shall be credited to the Participant’s Match Account in accordance with such rules as the Committee shall establish. (b) Service Based Contributions for a payroll period shall be paid to the Trustee and shall be credited to the Participant’s Service Based Contribution Account in accordance with such rules as the Committee shall establish. (c) The certificate of an independent certified public accountant selected by the Committee as to the accuracy of any amount or calculation under this SECTION 5 shall be conclusive on all persons. (d) In no event shall an Employer’s share of the contributions described in this SECTION 5 exceed an amount equal to the maximum amount deductible on account thereof by that Employer for purposes of Federal income taxes for the fiscal year for which the contribution is made. (e) Payment to the Trustee of part or all of an Employer’s share of the contributions described in this SECTION 5 shall be made in cash. (f) Matching and Service Based Contributions for any Plan Year shall be due on the last day of the fiscal year for which the contribution is made and, unless paid before, may be paid then or as soon as practicable thereafter, without interest, but no later than the time prescribed by law for filing the Employer’s Federal income tax returns for such fiscal year, including extensions thereof.

-24- AmericasActive:14265831.9 SECTION 6 INVESTMENT AND FEDERAL SIGNAL STOCK PROVISIONS 6.1 Investment Funds The ESOP portion of the Plan is designed to be primarily invested in the Federal Signal Stock Fund, except that the Trustee may hold some of the assets of the Federal Signal Stock Fund in cash pending investment, distribution, reallocation or transfer. The Non-ESOP portion of the Plan shall be invested in one or more Investment Funds designated by the Investment Committee in its discretion for the investment of Participants’ Accounts. The Investment Committee, in its discretion, may from time to time establish new Investment Funds or eliminate existing Investment Funds. Contributions to the Plan may be uninvested pending allocation to the Investment Funds. The investment manager of each Investment Fund, or the Trustee if there is no investment manager, may invest the Investment Fund in short term investments or hold the assets thereof in cash pending investment, distribution, reallocation or transfer. 6.2 Investment Fund Elections and Transfers Each Participant may elect to invest his or her Accounts in whole multiples of 1% up to 100% in any one or more of the Investment Funds. The Participant’s investment election shall apply to all contributions to his or her Accounts. If a Participant fails to make an investment election, his or her Accounts shall be invested in the default investment arrangement specified by the Investment Committee in accordance with ERISA Section 404(c)(5) and related regulations until the Participant elects to change the investment of such Accounts in accordance with this Subsection. The Accounts of Mark Rite Participants shall also be invested in the default investment arrangement specified by the Investment Committee in accordance with ERISA Section 404(c)(5) and related regulations until the Mark Rite Participant elects to change the investment of such Accounts in accordance with this Subsection. In accordance with rules established from time to time by the Committee, a Participant may elect to change his or her investment election (in whole multiples of 1% up to 100%) with respect to future contributions or transfer (in whole multiples of 1% up to 100% or in any dollar amount) all or a part of his or her Accounts from one or more Investment Fund to one or more different Investment Funds. Furthermore, pursuant to rules established by the Plan or an Investment Fund, the Investment Fund may restrict a Participant from transferring into or out of the Investment Fund if the Plan or Investment Fund determines that the Participant’s transfer activity would be detrimental to the Investment Fund. Effective as of January 1, 2007, for any period during which the Plan is an applicable defined contribution plan (as defined in Code Section 401(a)(35)) by virtue of holding publicly traded employer securities, the Committee shall permit Participants and applicable beneficiaries to direct the investment of their Accounts in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(35) and applicable Treasury Regulations or other guidance issued thereunder.

-25- AmericasActive:14265831.9 6.3 Election Procedures Any election to invest Accounts, change investment for new contributions, or make interfund transfers within the Plan (other than an automatic investment election) must be made through an Approved Form of Election. Any such election made before the Close of Business on a Business Day shall be effective and valued as of the day such election is made. Any such election made on a day other than a Business Day, or after the Close of Business on a Business Day, shall be effective and valued as of the next Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any election with respect to the Federal Signal Stock Fund shall be subject to the availability of short-term investments in such Fund. 6.4 Administration of Federal Signal Stock Fund Except as otherwise provided in Subsection 6.5, distribution of the Participant’s ESOP subaccounts, regardless of the Accounts in which they are held, shall be made in-kind or in cash as directed by the Participant. Any in-kind distribution shall be based on: (i) the total number of shares of Federal Signal Common Stock in the Federal Signal Stock Fund that are attributable to such Participant’s Accounts, valued in accordance with Subsection 6.10 as of the date of distribution, and (ii) cash in the amount equal to the value of a distributable fraction of a share of Federal Signal Common Stock in the Federal Signal Stock Fund attributable to his or her Accounts. The Participant shall at all times have the right to demand that the distribution of his or her ESOP subaccounts be made in the form of shares of Federal Signal Common Stock. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if the Company’s charter or by-laws restrict the ownership of substantially all outstanding shares of Federal Signal Common Stock to employees or a trust defined in Code Section 401(a), the Committee shall make the entire distribution in cash or in the form of shares of Federal Signal Common Stock, subject to the requirement that such shares be immediately put to the Company under a fair valuation formula. If Federal Signal Common Stock is distributed in the form of cash, the Participant shall receive cash equal to the amount of the “fair market value” of the Federal Signal Common Stock, valued in accordance with Subsection 6.10 as of the date of distribution. For purposes of the shares of Federal Signal Common Stock, which are readily tradable on an established securities market, the term “fair market value” shall be determined based on the prevailing market price. A Participant may elect to diversify any portion of his or her Accounts that is invested in the Federal Signal Stock Fund into one or more different Investment Funds offered under the Plan. To the extent practicable, the Trustee shall follow all instructions with respect to the sale or purchase of Federal Signal Common Stock held in the Federal Signal Stock Fund. However, any election with respect to the Federal Signal Stock Fund shall be subject to the availability of short-term investments, including but not limited to cash, in such fund. 6.5 Dividend Election Any cash dividends paid with respect to shares of Federal Signal Common Stock attributable to any of the Participant’s Accounts invested in the Federal Signal Stock Fund may, as elected by the Participant, be paid in cash to (i) the Plan and reinvested in Federal Signal Common Stock (through the Federal Signal Stock Fund), (ii) the Participant on the dividend payable date, or (iii) the Trustee and distributed by the Trustee to the Participant no later than 90

-26- AmericasActive:14265831.9 days after the end of the Plan Year in which paid to the Trustee. If a Participant fails to make an affirmative election under this Subsection, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to have the dividend paid to the Plan and reinvested in the Federal Signal Stock Fund. The Committee shall establish rules and procedures for the election, including the procedures for determining the number of shares of Federal Signal Common Stock in each Participant’s ESOP subaccounts on the record date of the dividend. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the dividends to which this election applies shall be fully vested. Reinvested dividends shall be paid to the Plan and credited to the Participant’s ESOP subaccounts in proportion to the interest in the Federal Signal Stock Fund attributable to each Participant’s Account. 6.6 Voting of Shares in Federal Signal Stock Fund The Trustee shall notify each Participant of each meeting of the Company’s shareholders and shall furnish to each Participant copies of the proxy statements and other communications distributed to shareholders in connection with any such meeting. Each Participant shall be entitled to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which any voting rights of shares of Federal Signal Common Stock attributable to his or her proportionate interest (vested or unvested) in the Federal Signal Stock Fund are to be exercised. The Trustee shall exercise the voting rights of such shares in accordance with the most recent and timely direction received by the Trustee from such Participant. If the Trustee does not receive direction with respect to the voting of shares held in the Federal Signal Stock Fund within the time specified in the notification, the Trustee shall vote such shares in the same manner and in the same proportion as the shares for which the Trustee received voting instructions. 6.7 Tendering of Shares in Federal Signal Stock Fund The Trustee shall notify each Participant of any tender offer for, exchange of, or a request or invitation for tenders of Federal Signal Common Stock and shall request from each Participant instructions for the Trustee as to the tendering of Federal Signal Common Stock credited to the Participant’s Accounts. A “tender offer” shall mean any tender or exchange offer for, or request or invitation for tenders or exchanges of, shares of Federal Signal Common Stock and shall include any tender offer made by or on behalf of the Company. Each Participant shall direct the Trustee on the tendering, depositing, selling, exchanging or transferring of shares of Federal Signal Common Stock attributable to the Participant’s proportionate interest in the Federal Signal Stock Fund pursuant to any tender offer. The Trustee shall tender, deposit, sell, exchange or transfer such shares (or shall retain such shares in the Federal Signal Stock Fund) pursuant to a tender offer only in accordance with the most recent and timely direction received by such Participant. However, if the Trustee does not receive tender directions with respect to shares held in the Federal Signal Stock Fund within the time specified in the notification, the Participants to which such shares are attributable shall be deemed to have directed the Trustee that such shares be retained in the Federal Signal Stock Fund subject to all provisions of the Plan, the Trust Agreement, and applicable law. The proceeds of any sale, exchange or transfer of shares of Federal Signal Common Stock pursuant to the direction of a Participant in accordance with this Subsection shall be allocated to Accounts in the same manner, in the same proportion, and as of the same date as the

-27- AmericasActive:14265831.9 shares were sold, exchanged or transferred. Pending receipt of directions as to which of the remaining Investment Funds the proceeds should be invested in, the proceeds shall be invested in the default investment arrangement specified by the Investment Committee in accordance with ERISA Section 404(c)(5) and related regulations. 6.8 Confidentiality of Voting and Tender Directions Except to the extent necessary to provide the Employers with information necessary to accurately maintain Plan and Participant records, the Trustee shall use its best efforts (i) to keep confidential the direction (or the absence thereof) from each Participant in connection with the exercise of voting rights of shares held in the Federal Signal Stock Fund, or with respect to any tender offer, and the identity of such Participant, and (ii) not to divulge such direction or identity to any person or entity, including, without limitation, the Company, any other Employer and any Non-Participating Employer and any director, officer, employee or agent thereof. It is the intent of this Subsection that the Company, each other Employer, and each Non-Participating Employer and their directors, officers, employees and agents not be able to ascertain the direction given (or not given) by any Participant in connection with the exercise of voting rights of such shares or with respect to any tender offer. To the extent that a Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee acts with respect to the exercise of voting rights of shares held in the Federal Signal Stock Fund or the tender, deposit, sale, exchange or transfer of such shares only, such Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee shall be a Fiduciary. 6.9 Invalidity of Voting or Tender Procedures To the extent the Trustee exercises any fiduciary responsibility with respect to the voting, tendering, or withdrawal of tender of shares held in the Federal Signal Stock Fund, the Trustee shall, unless pursuant to the requirements of ERISA or otherwise it is unlawful to do so, (i) take into account directions timely received from Participants as valid direction with respect to the exercise of voting rights or a tender offer, and (ii) to the extent that the Trustee deems it appropriate, take into consideration any relevant non-financial factors (in addition to any financial factors) bear in the exercise voting rights or in the sale, exchange, transfer, or tender or in the exercise of withdrawal rights. 6.10 Unitized Federal Signal Stock Fund Participants invested in the Federal Signal Stock Fund hold units of such fund. A unit of the Federal Signal Stock Fund holds shares of Federal Signal Common Stock and cash. Each day, Additions to and Reductions from (each as defined below) the Federal Signal Stock Fund are totaled. If the cash in the Federal Signal Stock Fund is above or below the amount required to settle these trades, shares of Federal Signal Common Stock are traded on the open market. At the Close of Business on each Business Day, all transactions for such day are combined and the total value of the Federal Signal Stock Fund is divided by the number of units in such fund to determine the fund’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”). NAV is the price used to determine the value of Participants’ ESOP subaccounts. The number of shares of Federal Signal Common Stock in the Federal Signal Stock Fund attributable at any particular time to the interest of a Participant shall be the approximate product

-28- AmericasActive:14265831.9 of the total number of shares then held in the Federal Signal Stock Fund multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the Federal Signal Stock Fund then in the Participant’s ESOP subaccount and the denominator of which is the total value of the Federal Signal Stock Fund. The value of a unit in the Federal Signal Stock Fund (“Closing Unit Value”) shall be determined on each Business Day by dividing the fair market value of such fund by the number of units in such fund before taking into account Additions to and Reductions from such fund. After the Closing Unit Value is determined at the Close of Business on each Business Day, the total number of units in the Federal Signal Stock Fund shall be re-determined to take into account new units resulting from Additions to such fund and canceled units resulting from Reductions from such fund. As of the Close of Business on such Business Day, the total number of new units resulting from Additions to the Federal Signal Stock Fund shall equal the total amount of the Additions to such fund divided by the Closing Unit Value. As of the Close of Business on such Business Day, the total number of units to be canceled under the Federal Signal Stock Fund shall equal the total amount of Reductions from such fund divided by the Closing Unit Value. Whenever all or any part of the balances in the Federal Signal Stock Fund is reduced as a result of a Reduction, the reduced amount shall equal the Closing Unit Value multiplied by the number of whole and fractional units credited to such Accounts. For purposes of this Subsection, “Addition” means any amounts added to the Federal Signal Stock Fund during the day as a result of contributions to, reinstatement of Accounts and interfund transfers since the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Business Day. For purposes of this Subsection, “Reduction” means any amounts reduced from the Federal Signal Stock Fund as a result of any in-service withdrawals, loans, distributions, interfund transfers, return of any excess amounts, and forfeitures since the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Business Day. 6.11 Valuation of Investment Funds As of each Business Day, the Trustee shall report to the Investment Committee the fair market value of the assets of each Investment Fund and the number and value of units in the Federal Signal Stock Fund. The fair market value of an Investment Fund shall be the value of such Investment Fund as of the Close of Business on such Business Day. The number and value of units in the Federal Signal Stock Fund shall be determined in accordance with Subsection 6.10. 6.12 Voting of Shares in Mutual Funds Shares of mutual funds held in a Participant’s Accounts shall be voted on his or her behalf by the Trustee. In making voting decisions on the mutual fund shares, the Trustee shall vote the shares in the long-term, economic best interests of Plan Participants.

Such contributions, and any earnings and losses on those contributions, shall be allocated to the Participant’s Roth Account. (j) Roth Catch-Up Account. A Roth Catch-Up Account shall be maintained for each Participant on whose behalf any Roth Catch-Up Contributions are made to this Plan and/or any Roth catch-up contributions were made under a Prior Plan. Such contributions, and any earnings and losses on those contributions, shall be allocated to the Participant’s Roth Account. (k) Roth Rollover Account. A Roth Rollover Account shall be maintained for each Participant on whose behalf any Roth Rollover Contributions have been made to this Plan and/or any Roth contributions have been transferred or rolled over from a Prior Plan.

A Service Based Contribution Account shall be maintained for each Participant on whose behalf any Service Based Contributions are made to this Plan, any retirement transition contributions were made to this Plan prior to the Effective Date, and/or any profit sharing contributions were made under a Prior Plan. Such contributions, and any earnings and losses on those contributions, shall be allocated to the Participant’s Service Based Contribution Account. The Committee may establish such rules and procedures relating to the maintenance, adjustment, and liquidation of Participants’ Accounts, and the crediting of contributions and income, losses, expenses, appreciation, and depreciation attributable thereto, as are considered necessary or

-31- AmericasActive:14265831.9 advisable. In addition to the Accounts described above, the Committee may maintain such other Accounts in the names of Participants or otherwise as the Committee considers necessary or desirable. 7.2 ESOP Subaccounts The Committee shall maintain or cause to be maintained separate subaccounts in the Accounts of each Participant to reflect the value of the Participant’s balances in the ESOP portion of the Plan and the Non-ESOP portion of the Plan. The ESOP subaccount shall reflect the portion of each Account invested in the Federal Signal Stock Fund. The Non-ESOP subaccount shall reflect the portion of each Account invested in all Investment Funds other than the Federal Signal Stock Fund. 7.3 Adjustment of Accounts Pursuant to rules established by the Committee and applied on a uniform basis, and subject to a Participant’s dividend election under Subsection 6.5, a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s Accounts shall be adjusted on each Business Day to reflect the fair market value (as defined in Subsection 6.4) of the various Investment Funds as of such date, including adjustments to reflect any distributions (including withdrawals), contributions, rollovers, loans, transfers between Investment Funds, income, losses, expenses, appreciation or depreciation with respect to such Accounts since the previous Business Day. Such Accounts shall continue to be so adjusted until all amounts in such Accounts are paid. 7.4 Statement of Account At such times and in such manner as determined by the Committee, each Participant shall be furnished with a statement reflecting the condition of his or her Accounts in the Trust Fund. 7.5 Accounts for Alternate Payees A separate Account shall be established for an Alternate Payee entitled to any portion of a Participant’s Account under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order in accordance with procedures established by the Committee and applicable law. Such separate Account shall be valued and accounted for in the same manner as any other Account. Pursuant to the terms of the Qualified Domestic Relations Order, an Alternate Payee may receive a distribution of his or her benefits in the same manner as if such Alternate Payee were a Participant at any time after the Qualified Domestic Relations Order has been approved by the Committee, without regard to whether such distribution is made or commences prior to the Participant’s earliest retirement age (as defined in Code Section 414(p)(4)(B)). If a separate Account has been established on behalf of an Alternate Payee but all of the amounts in the Account have not yet been distributed, the Alternate Payee may direct the investment of such Account in the same manner as if such Alternate Payee were a Participant. Subject to the Committee’s rules, an Alternate Payee may designate one or more Beneficiaries to receive payment of the Alternate Payee’s separate Account under the Plan in the same manner as if such Alternate Payee were a Participant, except that the Alternate Payee may designate an alternate Beneficiary other than his or her Spouse without such Spouse’s consent.

-32- AmericasActive:14265831.9 7.6 Order and Timing of Withdrawals, Loans, and Distributions Any amounts to be paid to a Participant, a Beneficiary, or an Alternate Payee shall be withdrawn from his or her Accounts on a pro rata basis or in such other order established by the Committee for withdrawals, loans, and distributions from the Plan.

In addition, each payment shall be charged against the Investment Funds in the applicable Account on a pro rata basis.

-33- AmericasActive:14265831.9 SECTION 8 CONTRIBUTION AND BENEFIT LIMITATIONS 8.1 Contribution Limitations For each Limitation Year, the Annual Addition to a Participant’s Account shall not exceed the lesser of $57,000 (as adjusted for cost-of-living increases under Code Section 415(d)) or 100% of the Participant’s Code Section 415 Compensation for the Limitation Year, subject to the following: (a) The compensation limit described above shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of Code Section 401(h) or Code Section 419A(f)(2)) after severance from employment that is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition. (b) The Committee shall take any actions it deems advisable to avoid an Annual Addition in excess of Code Section 415; provided, however, if a Participant’s Annual Addition for a Limitation Year actually exceeds the limitations of this Subsection, the Committee shall correct such excess in accordance with applicable guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service. Any such correction of excess Annual Additions shall be charged against the Investment Funds in the applicable Account on a pro rata basis; provided, however, that the reduction of an excess Annual Addition of a director, officer or other principal stockholder of the Company subject to the requirements of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall not decrease his or her interest in the Federal Signal Stock Fund. (c) Annual Additions shall be subject to Code Section 415 and applicable Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, the requirements of which are incorporated herein by reference to the extent not specifically provided above or in Subsection 8.2. 8.2 Combining of Plans In applying the limitations set forth in Subsection 8.1, reference to the Plan shall mean this Plan and all other defined contribution plans (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Related Employers. In complying with the requirements of Subsection 8.1, a Participant’s Annual Additions shall be limited by first reducing annual additions under the plan under which the Participant is then currently covered (or was most recently covered) as an active employee, then under the next most recent plan that covered the Participant as an active employee, and so on in reverse chronological order through all aggregated plans, until the Participant’s Annual Additions have been reduced sufficiently to comply with Code Section 415 and Subsection 8.1. 8.3 Dollar Limitations on Pre-Tax and Roth Contributions No Participant shall make Pre-Tax Contributions and/or Roth Contributions under this Plan, or elective deferrals under any other qualified plan maintained by an Employer, during any calendar year in excess of $19,500 (or such other amount as the Secretary of the Treasury shall

-34- AmericasActive:14265831.9 specify from time to time pursuant to Code Section 402(g)), excluding Catch-Up Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions. As of each December 31, the Committee or its designee shall determine the total Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions made by each Participant during the calendar year. In the event that such total exceeds the above limitation, such “Excess Deferrals” (and any income allocable thereto determined in accordance with Subsection 8.6) shall be paid to the Participant by the following April 15. If a Participant has made both Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions, the Participant’s Roth Contributions shall be reduced first, and second Pre-Tax Contributions, to the extent necessary to satisfy the limitation. If a Participant’s total elective deferrals under this Plan and any other plan of another employer for any calendar year exceed the maximum annual amount described above, the Participant may notify the Committee in writing (on or before March 1 of the next following calendar year) of the Participant’s election to have all or a portion of the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions and/or Roth Contributions (and the income allocable thereto determined in accordance with Subsection 8.6) under this Plan distributed in accordance with this Subsection. In addition, any Matching Contributions attributable to amounts distributed under this Subsection (and any income allocable thereto determined in accordance with Subsection 8.6) shall be forfeited and shall be used to reduce future Matching Contributions of the Participant’s Employer under the Plan or to pay expenses of the Plan. 8.4 Percentage Limitations on Pre-Tax and Roth Contributions Subject to Subsection 8.8, in no event shall the Average Deferral Percentage (defined below) of the Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for any Plan Year exceed the greater of: (a) The Average Deferral Percentage of all other Participants for such Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or (b) The Average Deferral Percentage of all other Participants for such Plan Year multiplied by 2.0, provided that the Average Deferral Percentage of the Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed that of all other eligible Participants by more than two percentage points. In accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations, an eligible Employee’s “Average Deferral Percentage” for a Plan Year means the ratio of A to B, where A equals the sum of the Pre-Tax and Roth Contributions actually paid to the Trust on behalf of each such eligible Employee for a Plan Year, and B equals the eligible Employee’s Testing Compensation for such Plan Year. From time to time during the Plan Year, the Committee may determine whether the limitation of this Subsection shall be satisfied and may limit the Pre-Tax and/or Roth Contributions to be withheld on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees or may refund Pre-Tax and/or Roth Contributions previously withheld. If, after the end of the Plan Year, the limitations of this Subsection are not satisfied, the Committee shall either refund Pre-Tax and/or Roth Contributions previously withheld on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees, or an Employer may make qualified nonelective employer contributions. If a Participant has made both Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions, the Participant’s Roth Contributions shall be limited first (or refunded first, as the case may be), and Pre-Tax Contributions second, to the extent necessary to satisfy the limitation.

-35- AmericasActive:14265831.9 If Pre-Tax and/or Roth Contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees are refunded to satisfy the limitations of this Subsection, the Committee shall determine the amount of Excess Contributions and shall refund such amounts on the basis of the Highly Compensated Employees’ contribution amounts. “Excess Contributions” mean the amount by which Pre-Tax and/or Roth Contributions for a Plan Year made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees exceeds the above limitations. Excess Contributions previously withheld (and any income allocable thereto determined in accordance with Subsection 8.6) shall be distributed within 2½ months after the close of the Plan Year to which they relate. If a Participant has made both Pre- Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions, the Participant’s Roth Contributions shall be distributed first, and Pre-Tax Contributions second, to the extent necessary to satisfy the limitation. In addition, any Matching Contributions attributable to such Excess Contributions (and any income allocable thereto determined in accordance with Subsection 8.6) shall be forfeited and shall be used to reduce future Matching Contributions of the Participant’s Employer or to pay Plan expenses. In order to meet the above requirements and the requirements described in the following Subsection, any Employer may establish a special rate of qualified nonelective employer contributions applicable only to certain Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees of such Employer. The timing and amount of such qualified nonelective employer contributions shall satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations. 8.5 Percentage Limitations on After-Tax Contributions Subject to Subsection 8.8 and except for Participants subject to a collective bargaining agreement, prior to the 2020 Plan Year, in no event shall the Average Contribution Percentage (defined below) of the Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for any Plan Year exceed the greater of: (a) The Average Contribution Percentage of all other Participants for such Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or (b) The Average Contribution Percentage of all other Participants for such Plan Year multiplied by 2.0, provided that the Average Contribution Percentage of the Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed that of all other Participants by more than two percentage points. In accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations, an eligible Employee’s “Average Contribution Percentage” for a Plan Year means the ratio of A to B, where A equals the After- Tax Contributions made by or on behalf of each such eligible Employee for a Plan Year, and B equals the eligible Employee’s Testing Compensation received by the Employee for such Plan Year. From time to time during the Plan Year, the Committee may determine whether the limitation of this Subsection shall be satisfied and, to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with such limitation, may limit the After-Tax Contributions to be withheld on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees not subject to a collective bargaining agreement or may refund After- Tax Contributions previously withheld. If, after the end of the Plan Year, the limitations of this Subsection are not satisfied, the Committee may refund After-Tax Contributions previously

-36- AmericasActive:14265831.9 withheld on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees not subject to a collective bargaining agreement. If After-Tax Contributions made on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employees are refunded to satisfy the limitation of this Subsection, the Committee shall determine the amount of “Excess After-Tax Contributions” and shall refund such amounts on the basis of such Highly Compensated Employees’ contribution amounts. “Excess After-Tax Contributions” mean the amount by which After-Tax Contributions for a Plan Year made by or on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees exceed the above limitations. Excess After-Tax Contributions previously withheld (and any income allocable thereto determined in accordance with Subsection 8.6) shall be distributed within 2½ months after the close of the Plan Year to which they relate. In lieu of distributing Excess After-Tax Contributions, an Employer may make qualified nonelection employer contributions described in the preceding Subsection. 8.6 Calculating Income Allocable to Excess Deferrals and Contributions The income allocable to a distribution to a Participant for a Plan Year (as required under Subsections 8.1, 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5) shall be determined under any method permitted under Treasury Regulations and selected by the Committee, provided such method does not discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees, is used consistently for all Participants and for all corrective distributions for the Plan Year, and is based on the method for allocating income to Participants’ Accounts. No income or loss shall be allocated to Excess Deferrals, Excess Contributions, or Excess After-Tax Contributions for the period between the end of the Plan Year in which such Excess Deferrals, Excess Contributions, and/or Excess After-Tax Contributions arose and the date of distribution of such amounts. 8.7 Corrective Contributions/Reallocations In addition to the powers described in Subparagraph 13.5(j), the Committee may take the following actions to correct errors in the administration of the Plan: (a) If, with respect to any Plan Year, an administrative error results in a Participant’s Account not being properly credited with Pre-Tax Contributions, Roth Contributions, After-Tax Contributions (prior to January 1, 2020), Rollover Contributions, After-Tax Rollover Contributions, Roth Rollover Contributions, Matching Contributions or Service Based Contributions, or earnings on any such amounts, the Committee may take corrective action, including, but not limited to, one or more of the following corrective actions, in order to place such Participant’s Account in the position that the Account would have been in had no error occurred: (i) Direct additional contributions to be made to such Participant’s Accounts; (ii) Reallocate existing contributions among the Accounts of affected Participants; or

-37- AmericasActive:14265831.9 (iii) Such other actions as it considers desirable under the circumstances as are consistent with the principles of the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System set forth in Revenue Procedure 2019-19 and/or subsequent guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin. (b) If, with respect to any Plan Year, an administrative error results in an amount being credited to the Account of a Participant or any other individual who is not otherwise entitled to such amount, the Committee may take corrective action, including but not limited to: (i) Direct the forfeiture of amounts erroneously credited (with such forfeitures to be used to reduce future Employer contributions or other contributions to the Plan); (ii) Reallocate such erroneously credited amounts to other Participants’ Accounts; or (iii) Such other actions as it considers desirable under the circumstances as are consistent with the principles of the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System set forth in Revenue Procedure 2019-19 and/or subsequent guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin. 8.8 Safe Harbor Contributions Notwithstanding Subsections 8.4, 8.5, or any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to Participants who are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement, the Plan satisfies the nondiscrimination requirements of Code Section 401(k), and the nondiscrimination requirements of Code Section 401(m) with respect to Matching Contributions, in accordance with the safe harbor method based on Matching Contributions as described in Code Sections 401(k)(12) and 401(m)(11).

-38- AmericasActive:14265831.9 SECTION 9 VESTING AND FORFEITURES 9.1 Participant Contributions A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in his or her Pre-Tax, Roth, After-Tax, Catch-Up, Roth Catch-Up, Rollover, After-Tax Rollover, and Roth Rollover Accounts. 9.2 Matching Contributions Each Participant who terminates employment with the Related Employers on or after Normal Retirement Age or by reason of death or Disability (or by reason of death (effective as of January 1, 2007) or Disability while performing qualified military service (within the meaning of Code Section 414(u)(5)), shall be 100% vested in any Matching Contributions made to his or her Match Account.

Each other Participant shall vest in his or her Service Based Contributions as described in the applicable Appendix. 9.4 Qualified Nonelective Contributions A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in his or her Qualified Nonelective Account. 9.5 Prior Plan ESOP Contributions A Participant shall vest in his or her Prior Plan ESOP Account in accordance with the following table: Number of Years of Vesting Service Vesting Percentage Less than 1 0% 1 but less than 2 50% 2 but less than 3 75% 3 or more 100%

-39- AmericasActive:14265831.9 9.6 Amendments to Vesting Schedule No amendment to the Plan’s vesting schedules shall deprive a Participant of nonforfeitable rights to benefits accrued prior to the date of such amendment. If the Plan’s vesting schedule is amended, each Participant with at least three years of Vesting Service may elect to have his or her nonforfeitable percentage determined without regard to such amendment. The period during which the election may be made shall commence with the date the amendment is adopted and shall end on the later of 60 days after the amendment is adopted, 60 days after the amendment is effective, and 60 days after the Participant receives written notice of the amendment. 9.7 Forfeitures Any portion of a Participant’s Accounts that do not vest shall be regarded as forfeitures upon such Participant’s Severance From Service. All forfeited amounts shall be used to reduce contributions of the Participant’s Employer or to pay Plan expenses. Pending allocation to reduce Employer contributions, such amounts shall be invested as directed by the Investment Committee or its designee. 9.8 Reinstatement of Accounts for Rehires If an inactive Participant who has made Pre-Tax or Roth Contributions resumes employment and again becomes a Participant at any time, or if an inactive Participant who was partially vested in any Matching Contributions or Service Based Contributions resumes employment and again becomes a Participant before incurring a Break in Service of five years, the portion of the Participant’s Accounts that was previously forfeited shall be reinstated if (i) such Participant has not received a distribution from the Plan, or (ii) such Participant received a distribution of less than the full amount of his or her Accounts repays in cash the amount of his or her previously distributed Accounts. Any such repaid amount shall be nonforfeitable. Reinstated amounts shall be invested in the default investment arrangement specified by the Investment Committee in accordance with ERISA Section 404(c)(5) and related regulations until such Participant makes an investment election on an Approved Form of Election with respect to such amounts. 9.9 Death Benefits under Qualified Military Service Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, effective as of January 1, 2007, in the case of a Participant who dies while performing qualified military service (as defined in Code Section 414(u)), the survivor(s) of the Participant shall be entitled to any additional benefits (other than benefit accruals relating to the period of qualified military service) provided under the Plan had the Participant resumed and then terminated employment on account of death.

-40- AmericasActive:14265831.9 10.1 Form of Payment SECTION 10 PAYMENTS Subject to Subsections 10.2 and 10.6, after each Participant’s Severance From Service, the vested value of the Participant’s Accounts shall be paid to or for the benefit of the Participant or his or her Beneficiary in one or more of the following forms of payment as the Participant or his or her Beneficiary elects: (a) By a single payment in cash; (b) By monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments in cash during a period not to exceed the life expectancy of the Participant or the joint life expectancy of the Participant and his or her designated Beneficiary determined at the date payments begin; provided, however, that unless the Participant elects otherwise, all distributions of the Participant’s ESOP Subaccounts shall be made over a period not longer than five years, in compliance with Code Section 409(o); or (c) By one or more payments in accordance with Paragraph (a) or (b) above, except that such payment(s) shall be made in whole shares of Federal Signal Common Stock, to the extent that the portion of such Participant’s Account balances allocated to the Federal Signal Stock Fund is evenly divisible by the fair market value of such stock on the Business Day as of which such value is determined, and the remainder of such Participant’s Account in cash. 10.2 Time of Payment Following a Participant’s Severance From Service, distribution of the balance of a Participant’s Account shall be made or commence as follows: (a) Consent Required. Payment of a Participant’s Accounts (as determined pursuant to Subsection 10.1) shall be made pursuant to the Participant’s request for payment and within the time frame established by the Committee. If the vested value of a Participant’s Accounts exceeds $5,000, such vested value shall not be paid without his or her consent. Unless a Participant elects otherwise, payment of the Participant’s Accounts shall be paid in a single cash payment not later than the 60th day after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of: (i) the Participant’s attainment of Normal Retirement Age; (ii) the tenth anniversary of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and (iii) the Participant’s Severance From Service date. (b) Mandatory Distributions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this SECTION 10 to the contrary, the following rules shall apply to a Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee if the vested value of his or her Accounts does not exceed $5,000 (including the balance in his or her Rollover Account, After-Tax

-41- AmericasActive:14265831.9 Rollover Account, and Roth Rollover Account) and he or she does not make a distribution election within the time frame established by the Committee: (i) Account Balance of $1,000 or Less. If the Participant incurs a Severance From Service and if the vested value of his or her Accounts (including the value of his or her Rollover Account, After-Tax Rollover Account, and Roth Rollover Account) does not exceed $1,000, he or she shall receive payment of such vested value in a single cash payment in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee; provided, that if the vested value of a Participant’s Accounts is zero, then such vested value shall be deemed paid to the Participant immediately. (ii) Account Balance Over $1,000. If the Participant incurs a Severance From Service and if the vested value of his or her Accounts (excluding the value of his or her Rollover Account, After-Tax Rollover Account, and Roth Rollover Account) is greater than $1,000 but less than or equal to $5,000, such vested value shall be paid in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Committee in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee, unless the Participant otherwise elects to have the value of his or her Accounts paid in a single payment in cash or rolled over to an eligible retirement plan in accordance with Subsection 10.3. 10.3 Direct Rollover of Eligible Rollover Distribution If payment of a Participant’s benefits constitutes an Eligible Rollover Distribution, then the Participant or other Eligible Distributee may elect to have such distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan. (a) Eligible Distributee means (i) an Employee or former Employee, (ii) an Employee’s or former Employee’s surviving Spouse, (iii) the Employee’s or former Employee’s Spouse or former Spouse who is the Alternate Payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, and (iv) an individual who is a non-Spouse designated Beneficiary (as defined by Section 401(a)(9)(E) of the Code) of the Employee or former Employee. (b) Eligible Retirement Plan means (i) an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), (ii) an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b) (other than an endowment contract), (iii) an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a), (iv) a qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a), (v) an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b), (vi) an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state, or (vii) a Roth IRA as described in Code Section 408A. The definition of an Eligible Retirement Plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving Spouse, or to a Spouse or former Spouse who is the alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. In the case of a non-Spouse

-42- AmericasActive:14265831.9 designated Beneficiary, an Eligible Retirement Plan includes only an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Section 408(a) or (b) or 408A, solely to the extent permitted under Code Section 402(c)(11) and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued thereunder. (c) Eligible Rollover Distribution means any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the Eligible Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include: (i) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Eligible Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Eligible Distributee and the Eligible Distributee’s designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more, (ii) any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9), (iii) any distribution made on account of financial hardship, and (iv) any distribution of less than $200. A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an Eligible Rollover Distribution merely because the portion consists of After-Tax Contributions which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred to an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b) (other than an endowment contract), an annuity plan or contract described in Code Section 403(a) or 403(b), a qualified plan described in Code Section 401(a), or a Roth IRA (solely to the extent allowed under the Code), only if such individual retirement account, individual retirement annuity, annuity plan or contract, qualified trust, or Roth IRA agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible. A rollover distribution to a Roth IRA must satisfy the requirements of Code Sections 402(c) and 408A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a direct rollover of a distribution from amounts in a Participant’s Roth Account and Roth Rollover Account may only be made to another Roth elective deferral account under an applicable retirement plan described in Code Section 402A(e)(1) or to a Roth IRA described in Code Section 408A, and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code Section 402(c). 10.4 Distribution of Roth Accounts A qualified distribution from a Participant’s Roth Account and/or Roth Rollover Account is not includable in the Participant’s gross income. A qualified distribution is generally a distribution that is made after a Participant has reached the end of the 5-taxable year period of “participation” (as that term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.402A-1, Q&A-4) in a designated Roth account and that either: (a) Is made on or after the date the Participant attains age 59-1/2; (b) Is made after the Participant’s death; or

-43- AmericasActive:14265831.9 (c) Is attributable to the Participant’s being disabled within the meaning of Code Section 72(m)(7). If a Participant makes a direct rollover from another employer’s tax-qualified retirement plan into his or her Roth Rollover Account, then the time spent by such rollover amounts in such other employer’s plan shall be counted for purposes of determining whether the 5-taxable-year period described above has elapsed. 10.5 Designation of Beneficiary At any time before payment of a Participant’s Accounts or, if installment payments have begun, then at any time before payment of the last installment, a Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (who may be executors or trustees and who shall be the same person or persons for each of the Participant’s Accounts) on an Approved Form of Election. The Participant may change or revoke any such designation on an Approved Form of Election at any time before payment of his or her Accounts or, if installment payments have begun, then at any time before payment of the last installment. A Participant’s Spouse shall in all cases be deemed to be his or her Beneficiary unless (i) the Participant has filed an Approved Form of Election designating a non-Spouse Beneficiary, (ii) the Spouse of the Participant has consented in writing to such designation, (iii) the consent acknowledges the effect of the designation and is witnessed by a notary public, and (iv) such election designates a Beneficiary that may not be changed without further spousal consent, unless the Spouse executed a general written consent expressly permitting changes of the Beneficiary without any requirement of further consent of the Spouse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the spousal consent requirements shall not apply if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the Committee that such written consent may not be obtained because there is no Spouse, the Spouse cannot be located, or other circumstances (as described in Treasury Regulations under Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417) preclude the necessity of the Spouse’s consent. If the Spouse of a Participant is legally incompetent to give consent, such consent may be given by the Spouse’s legal guardian, which shall include the Participant if he or she is the Spouse’s legal guardian. If the Participant is legally separated or has been abandoned, as provided by a court order, spousal consent shall not be required, except where required provided by a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Upon a Participant’s death, a Beneficiary may designate a secondary Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive payment of the Participant’s Accounts upon the primary Beneficiary’s death. Such designation must be made on an Approved Form of Election prior to entire payment of the Participant’s Accounts. If a deceased Participant failed to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if the Beneficiary dies before the Participant or before complete payment of the Participant’s Accounts, the Participant’s Accounts shall be distributed in the following order. (a) To the Participant’s surviving Spouse (determined as of the date of the Participant’s death).

-44- AmericasActive:14265831.9 (b) If Paragraph (a) does not apply because the Participant does not have a Spouse on the date of his or her death, to the legal representative or representatives of the estate of the last to die of the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiary (the “Surviving Payee”) or, if an estate is not opened on behalf of the Participant or Beneficiary, to the duly authorized individual properly designated by any applicable small estate affidavit or similar documentation issued pursuant to applicable state law. (c) If an estate is not opened on behalf of the Surviving Payee, to the duly authorized individual properly designated by any applicable small estate affidavit or similar documentation issued pursuant to applicable state law. (d) If there is no duly authorized individual properly designated by any applicable small estate affidavit or similar documentation issued pursuant to applicable state law, to or for the benefit of one or more of the Surviving Payee’s relatives by blood, adoption or marriage in such proportions as the Committee (or its delegate) determines. 10.6 Minimum Distribution Requirements Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to distributions made for calendar years beginning on or after January 1, 2003, the Plan shall apply the minimum distribution requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) in accordance with final and temporary Treasury Regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9) that were issued by the Internal Revenue Service on April 17, 2002 and June 15, 2004 (as corrected on November 22, 2004), including Treasury Regulation Sections 1.401(a)(9)-2 through 1.401(a)(9)-9 and the incidental death benefit requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9)(G). Any provisions of the Plan that are inconsistent with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder shall be deemed inoperative. The Participant’s entire interest shall be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s required beginning date, which is generally the later of the April 1 following the Participant’s attainment of age 70½ or the date the Participant has a Severance From Service. However, if the Participant is a 5% owner, Plan distributions must commence no later than the April 1 following the Participant’s attainment of age 70½. Benefits must be paid over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Participant or the joint life expectancies of the Participant and his or her Beneficiary. If the Participant dies after installment distributions have begun, payments shall continue under the elected payment form. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest shall be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than the following: (a) If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Beneficiary, distributions to the surviving Spouse shall begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70½, if later.

-45- AmericasActive:14265831.9 (b) If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is not the Participant’s sole Beneficiary, distributions to the Beneficiary shall begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died. (c) If there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire interest shall be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. If the Participant’s Spouse is the sole Beneficiary and dies after the Participant but before distributions have begun, then Paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall apply as if the Spouse were the Participant. Notwithstanding any provision of this Subsection to the contrary, effective as of January 1, 2009, a Participant or Beneficiary who would have been required to receive required minimum distributions for 2009 but for the enactment of Code Section 401(a)(9)(H) (“2009 RMDs”), and who would have satisfied that requirement by receiving distributions that are (i) equal to the 2009 RMDs or (ii) one or more payments in a series of substantially equal distributions (that include the 2009 RMDs) made at least annually and expected to last for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant or the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, or for a period of at least ten years (“Extended RMDs”), shall receive those distributions for 2009 unless the Participant or Beneficiary chooses not to receive such distributions. Participants and Beneficiaries described in the preceding sentence shall be given the opportunity to elect not to receive the distributions described in the preceding sentence. In addition, 2009 RMDs and Extended RMDs shall be treated as Eligible Rollover Distributions under Subsection 10.3, but shall not be eligible for a direct rollover. 10.7 Missing Persons The Employers and the Committee shall not be required to search for or locate a Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee or Beneficiary. Each Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee, and Beneficiary must file with the Committee from time to time in writing his or her post office address and each change of post office address. Any communication, statement, or notice addressed to a Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee, or Beneficiary at the last post office address filed with the Committee, or if no address is filed with the Committee, then in the case of a Participant, at the Participant’s last post office address as shown on the Employers’ records, shall be considered a notification for purposes of the Plan and shall be binding on the Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee and Beneficiary for all purposes of the Plan. If the Committee notifies a Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee, or Beneficiary, and if such person fails to claim Plan benefits or make such person’s whereabouts known to the Committee within two years after the notification, the benefits of the Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary may be disposed of, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by one or more of the following methods: (a) By retaining such benefits in the Plan; (b) By paying such benefits to a court of competent jurisdiction for judicial determination of the right thereto;

-46- AmericasActive:14265831.9 (c) By forfeiting such benefits in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. If a Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee or Beneficiary is subsequently located, such benefits shall be restored to the Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee or Beneficiary under the Plan; or (d) By any equitable manner permitted by law under rules adopted by the Committee. 10.8 Recovery of Benefits In the event a Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee, or Beneficiary receives a benefit payment from the Plan that is in excess of the benefit payment that should have been made to such Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee, or Beneficiary or in the event a person other than a Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee, or Beneficiary receives an erroneous payment from the Plan, the Committee shall have the right, on behalf of the Plan, to recover the amount of the excess or erroneous payment from the recipient. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Committee may, at its option, deduct the amount of such excess or erroneous payment from any future benefits payable on behalf of a Participant, regardless of whether such amount would otherwise be paid to a Participant, Spouse, or Alternate Payee, Beneficiary who did not receive the overpayment. 10.9 Facility of Payment When a person entitled to benefits under the Plan is under legal disability, or, in the Committee’s opinion, is in any way incapacitated so as to be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the Committee may direct the Trustee to pay the benefits to such person’s legal representative, or to a relative or friend of such person for such person’s benefit, or the Committee may direct the application of such benefits for the benefit of such person. Any payment made in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be a full and complete discharge of any liability for such payment under the Plan.

-47- AmericasActive:14265831.9 SECTION 11 IN-SERVICE WITHDRAWALS 11.1 Hardship Withdrawals A Participant may, prior to his or her Severance From Service, apply for a hardship withdrawal of all or any part of his or her Pre-Tax Account (excluding earnings credited on Pre- Tax Contributions after December 31, 1988), Roth Account, Rollover Account, After-Tax Rollover Account, Roth Rollover Account, and Prior Plan ESOP Account, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective as of October 1, 2010, each Participant who was a participant in the VESystems 401(k) Plan on or before October 1, 2010 may apply for a hardship withdrawal of all or any part of his or her vested Account balances transferred from the VESystems 401(k) Plan. A hardship withdrawal must be for an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant for which funds are not reasonably available from other resources of the Participant. A Participant shall be deemed to have an immediate and heavy financial need if the hardship is on account of: (a) Payment of unreimbursed medical expenses described in Code Section 213(d) (determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income) previously incurred by the Participant, his or her Spouse, any dependents of the Participant (as defined in Code Section 152 without regard to Code Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)), including any non-custodial child who is subject to the special rule of Code Section 152(e), or Primary Beneficiary, or payment of unreimbursed expenses necessary for these persons to obtain medical care described in Code Section 213(d); (b) Purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of the principal residence of the Participant; (c) Payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses, for the next twelve months of post-secondary education for the Participant, his or her Spouse, the Participant’s dependents (as defined in Code Section 152 without regard to Code Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)), or Primary Beneficiary; (d) Prevention of the eviction of the Participant from his or her principal residence or prevention of the foreclosure on the mortgage on his or her principal residence; (e) Payment of burial or funeral expenses for the Participant’s deceased parent, Spouse, children, dependents (as defined in Code Section 152 without regard to the change in definition under Code Section 152(d)(1)(B)), or Primary Beneficiary; (f) Payment of expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Code Section 165

-48- AmericasActive:14265831.9 (determined without regard to subsection (h)(5) of Code Section 165 and whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income); or (g) Other events provided for in revenue rulings, notices or other documents of general applicability published by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. For purposes of this Subsection, “Primary Beneficiary” means an individual who a Participant has named as his or her Beneficiary under Subsection 10.5 and who has an unconditional right to all or a portion of the Participant’s Account balances upon the Participant’s death (a contingent or secondary Beneficiary does not qualify). A Participant shall be deemed to have established that the amount is not reasonably available from other resources if the Participant has elected to receive a cash distribution of the dividends paid on the shares of Federal Signal Common Stock attributable to his or her proportionate interest in the Federal Signal Stock Fund and has obtained all other in-service withdrawals, distributions and nontaxable loans available under this Plan and any other plan maintained by his or her Employer. The Committee shall determine whether a financial hardship exists and the amount to be paid as a result of the hardship. When making this determination, the Committee may rely on the Participant’s written representation that his or her immediate and heavy financial need could not be satisfied in whole or in part from other resources reasonably available to him or her. Financial hardship determinations shall be made in accordance with the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations and using a uniform and nondiscriminatory standard. If the Committee or its designee approves the hardship withdrawal, the hardship withdrawal shall not exceed the amount required to meet the need created by the hardship, including any amounts necessary to pay any Federal income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the withdrawal. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant who is also a participant in the Federal Signal Corporation Savings Restoration Plan may not request a hardship withdrawal under this Subsection. 11.2 Withdrawals Upon Attainment of Age 59½ Before a Severance From Service, but after attainment of age 59½, a Participant may withdraw of all or any portion of the balance in his or her Pre-Tax Account and Roth Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective as of October 1, 2010, a Participant who was a participant in the VESystems 401(k) Plan on or before such date may also withdraw all or any portion of his or her Account balances transferred from the VESystems 401(k) Plan after attainment of age 59½. 11.3 Withdrawals Upon Attainment of Normal Retirement Age Before a Severance From Service, but after attainment of Normal Retirement Age, a Participant may withdraw of all or any portion of the balances in his or her Accounts.

-49- AmericasActive:14265831.9 11.4 Withdrawals From After-Tax Account Before a Severance From Service, a Participant may withdraw all or any portion of the balances in his or her After-Tax Account once per calendar year. If the Participant withdraws After-Tax Contributions made to the Plan before January 1, 1987, the withdrawal shall come first from the Participant’s After-Tax Contributions, and then, once all of such contributions have been withdrawn, from the investment earnings on such contributions. If the Participant withdraws After-Tax Contributions made to the Plan after December 31, 1986, the withdrawal shall come, pro rata, from both the Participant’s After-Tax Contributions and the investment earnings on those contributions. 11.5 Withdrawals From Rollover Account, After-Tax Rollover Account, and Roth Rollover Account Before a Severance From Service, a Participant may withdraw all or any portion of the balances in his or her Rollover Account, After-Tax Rollover Account, and Roth Rollover Account once per calendar year. 11.6 Withdrawals From Balances Transferred from the PIPs Plan Before a Severance From Service, a Participant who was a participant in the PIPs Technology, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “PIPs Plan”) on or before April 1, 2008 may withdraw all or any portion of his or her Accounts attributable to balances transferred to the Plan from the PIPs Plan if such Participant incurs a Disability. 11.7 Distributions To Individuals Performing Military Service A Participant, who receives a distribution that meets the requirements of Paragraph (a) below, shall be treated as having received a distribution under Paragraph (a) even if the distribution would also have been permitted under Paragraph (b). (a) Qualified Reservist Distributions: A Participant may withdraw all or a portion of the balances in his or her Pre-Tax Account or Roth Account if: (i) such Participant is a member of a reserve component (as defined in Section 101 of Title 37, United States Code) that is ordered or called to active duty after September 11, 2001, and (ii) the Participant’s tour of active duty has a duration in excess of 179 days or an indefinite period. This withdrawal may only be made during the period that begins on the date of the Participant’s order or call to active duty and ends on the date of the Participant’s active duty. (b) Distributions Related to Deemed Severance From Service: During any period in which the Participant is performing qualified military service described in Code Section 414(u)(5) for more than 30 days, the Participant shall be treated as having incurred a Severance From Service for purposes of receiving a distribution from his or her Pre-Tax Account or Roth Account. If such Participant elects to receive a distribution from his or her Pre-Tax Account or Roth Account, the Participant cannot make Pre-Tax, Catch-Up, Roth, Roth Catch-Up, or, prior to January 1,

-50- AmericasActive:14265831.9 2020, After-Tax Contributions for six months following election and payment of such distribution. 11.8 Application for In-Service Withdrawals An application for any in-service withdrawal under this SECTION 11 must be made through an Approved Form of Election. The minimum amount of any in-service withdrawal is $300. Any withdrawal payment shall be made as soon as practicable.

(c) At any one time, a Participant may not have outstanding more than one loan. (d) The Participant shall pledge a portion of his or her vested Accounts as security for such loan, and shall pay from such Accounts all reasonable fees related to the processing of any loan. (e) The Committee may permit loan rollovers in cases of acquisitions or dispositions for certain groups during certain periods. 12.2 Amount of Loans The principal amount of any loan made to a Participant, together with the unpaid balance of any other outstanding loans under the Plan and all other qualified employer plans (as defined in Code Section 72(p)(4)) sponsored by a Related Employer, on the date the loan is made, shall not exceed the lesser of (a) or (b) below: (a) $50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of: (i) the highest outstanding balance of loans under the Plan and all other qualified employer plans during the twelve- month period ending the day before such loan was made, minus (ii) the outstanding balance of such outstanding loans on the date on which such loan was made; or (b) One-half of the total balance of the Participant’s vested Accounts. The minimum loan amount to a Participant shall not be less than $1,000. 12.3 Repayment of Loans A loan shall specify a repayment period that shall not extend beyond five years after the date the loan is made, unless the proceeds of the loan are used to purchase the Participant’s

Repayment of each loan shall be made by payroll deduction. Each loan shall require substantially level amortization with payments not less frequently than quarterly. Prepayment of all or a portion of the loan is permitted at any time without penalty by certified check or money order made payable to the Trustee. Pursuant to rules established by the Committee, if a Participant is on an unpaid Approved Leave of Absence, he or she may be permitted to defer repayments for up to one year, and may be given a grace period to repay the loan if a payment is missed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant is on an Approved Leave of Absence due to qualified military service, his or her loan repayments may be suspended in accordance with Code Section 414(u)(4), and for the duration of his or her qualified military service, the interest rate on his or her outstanding loan shall be capped at the lesser of the original loan rate or 6%. Loan repayments shall be credited to the Participant’s Accounts from which the loan was made as of the date such payment is received by the Trustee on a pro rata basis. Loan repayments shall be credited to the Investment Funds in accordance with the Participant’s investment election under Subsection 6.2 in effect at the time of loan repayment, and, in the absence of such investment election, to the default investment arrangement specified by the Investment Committee in accordance with ERISA Section 404(c)(5) and related regulations. 12.4 Unpaid Loans A loan which is not repaid when due shall be deemed to be in default and shall be treated as a “deemed distribution” if not repaid within the cure period specified in uniform rules and guidelines established by the Committee. Upon distribution of a Participant’s Accounts before a loan is repaid in full, the unpaid loan balance, together with loan interest, shall become due and payable, and the Trustee shall first satisfy the indebtedness from the Participant’s Account before making any payments to Participant. If a loan defaults, foreclosure on the promissory note and attachment of security on such loan shall not occur until a distributable event occurs under the Plan.

-58- AmericasActive:14265831.9 SECTION 14 CLAIMS PROCEDURES 14.1 Initial Retirement Benefit Claims In the event of a dispute between the Trustee or Committee and a Participant or Beneficiary over the amount of benefits payable under the Plan, the Participant or Beneficiary may file a claim for benefits by notifying the Committee of such claim. Such notification must be in writing and shall set forth the basis of such claim. The Committee shall decide whether to grant a claim within 90 days of the date on which the claim is received, unless special circumstances require a longer period for review of the claim, and the claimant is notified in writing of the extension of time within the first 90-day period; provided, however, that no extension shall be longer than an additional 90 days beyond the original response deadline. 14.2 Initial Disability Benefit Claims If the claim is for Disability benefits, the Committee shall review the claim within 45 days of the date on which the claim is received. If special circumstances require a longer period for review, and the claimant is notified in writing of the extension of time within the 45-day period, the Committee may extend the time period for responding to the claim by an additional 30 days. If a decision still cannot be made within this 30-day extension period due to circumstances outside the Committee’s control, the Committee may extend the time period for responding to the claim by an additional 30 days, provided that the Committee notifies the claimant in writing of such additional extension prior to the expiration of the original 30-day extension period. 14.3 Initial Claim Processing and Appeal If a claimant has not submitted sufficient information to the Committee to process a benefit claim, the claimant shall be notified of the incomplete claim and given time to submit additional information. This shall extend the time in which the Committee has to respond to the claim from the date the notice of insufficient information is sent to the claimant until the date the claimant responds to the request. If the claimant does not submit the requested missing information to the Committee within a reasonable time period, the claim shall be denied. Whenever a claim for benefits is denied, written notice, prepared in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, shall be provided to the claimant, setting forth the specific reasons for the denial, referring to the specific Plan provisions on which the denial is based, explaining the procedures for review of the decision made by the Committee, and explaining the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following a denial on appeal. If the denial is based upon submission of information insufficient to support a decision, the Committee shall specify the information which is necessary to perfect the claim and its reasons for requiring such additional information. If the denial is for a claim for Disability benefits and is based on a lack of medical necessity or because of an experimental, investigational, or unproven treatment or similar exclusion, the written notice shall also include an explanation of

-59- AmericasActive:14265831.9 the scientific or clinical judgment for the claim determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s circumstances (or a statement that an explanation shall be provided free of charge upon request). In addition, if the denial is for a claim for Disability benefits filed after April 1, 2018 (a ‘New Disability Claim’), the written notice shall also include a statement that, upon request and free of charge, the claimant shall be provided reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim; either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards, or other similar criteria relied upon in making the denial, or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards, or similar criteria do not exist; and, if applicable, a discussion of the decision, including the basis for disagreeing with or not following (i) the views of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant that were provided by the claimant, (ii) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the denial, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the denial, and (iii) a disability determination regarding the claimant made by the Social Security Administration if provided by the claimant. Benefits shall be paid only if the Committee determines in its discretion that a claimant is entitled them. Any request for review must be in writing and shall be addressed to the Committee. The request for review shall set forth all of the grounds upon which it is based, all facts in support thereof, and any other matters which the claimant deems pertinent. The Committee may require the claimant to submit such additional facts, documents, or other material as the Committee may deem necessary or appropriate in making its review. 14.4 Appeal Procedures for Retirement Benefits Any individual whose claim for benefits is denied in whole or in part (or such person’s authorized representative) may appeal the denial by submitting to the Committee a written request for review of the application within 60 days after receiving written notice of the denial from the Committee. The Committee shall give the claimant (or the claimant’s representative) an opportunity to review pertinent documents and to submit written comments and other information (even if such information was not submitted in connection with the initial claim) in preparing such request for review. The Committee shall act upon each request for review within 60 days after receipt thereof unless special circumstances require an extension of time of up to an additional 60 days for processing the request for review. If such an extension of time for review is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the end of the initial 60-day period; provided, however that such review shall be made no later than 120 days after the Committee’s receipt of the claimant’s written request for review. 14.5 Appeal Procedures for Disability Benefits Any individual whose application for Disability benefits is denied in whole or in part (or such person’s authorized representative) may appeal the denial by submitting to the Committee a written request for review of the application within 180 days after receiving written notice of the denial from the Committee. The Committee shall give the claimant (or the claimant’s representative) an opportunity to review pertinent documents and to submit written comments

-60- AmericasActive:14265831.9 and other information (even if such information was not submitted in connection with the initial claim) in preparing such request for review. The Committee shall act upon each request for review of a Disability claim within 45 days after receipt thereof unless special circumstances require an extension of time of up to an additional 45 days for processing the request for review. If such an extension of time for review is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the end of the initial 45-day period; provided, however that such review shall be made no later than 90 days after the Committee’s receipt of the claimant’s written request for review. The following rules shall also apply: (i) the review shall be made by a person different from the person who made the initial determination, and such person will not be the original decision-maker’s subordinate or afford deference to the initial claim denial; (ii) in the case of a claim denied on the grounds of a medical judgment, the Committee will consult with a health care professional with appropriate training and experience; (iii) the health care professional who is consulted on appeal shall not be the individual who was consulted during the initial determination or a subordinate of such person; (iv) if the advice of a medical or vocational expert was obtained by the Plan in connection with the denial of a claim, the Committee shall provide the claimant with the names of each such expert, regardless of whether the advice was relied upon. In addition, effective for New Disability Claims, before a denial on appeal may be issued, the Committee will provide the claimant, free of charge, with any new or additional evidence that was considered, relied upon, or generated in connection with the claim. Before a denial on appeal may be issued based on new or additional rationale, the Committee will provide the claimant, free of charge, with such rationale. The Committee will provide such evidence or rationale, as applicable, as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date by which a response to the claimant’s appeal must be provided (as described above) in order to provide the claimant with a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date. 14.6 Appeals Processing Within the applicable time periods described above, the Committee shall give written notice of its appeal decision to the claimant. In the event the Committee confirms the denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, such notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, the specific reasons for such denial, specific references to the Plan provisions on which the decision was based, a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the benefit claim, a statement regarding the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following a denial on appeal (including, for New Disability Claims, the applicable time limits for doing so and the calendar date on which the time limit expires), and if the denial of an appeal for Disability benefits is based on a lack of medical necessity or because of an experimental, investigational, or unproven treatment or similar exclusion, an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the denial, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s circumstances (or a statement that an explanation shall be provided free of charge upon request). In addition, for an appeal denial of a New Disability Claim, the notice shall also include either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards, or other similar criteria relied upon in making the denial, or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards, or similar criteria do not exist; and, if applicable, a

-61- AmericasActive:14265831.9 discussion of the decision, including the basis for disagreeing with or not following (i) the views of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant that were provided by the claimant, (ii) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the denial, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the denial, and (iii) a disability determination regarding the claimant made by the Social Security Administration if provided by the claimant. In the event that the Committee determines that the claim for benefits should not have been denied in whole or in part, the Committee shall take appropriate remedial action. The Committee shall establish rules and procedures, consistent with the Plan and with ERISA, as it may deem necessary or appropriate in carrying out its responsibilities under this Section. The Committee may require a claimant who wishes to submit additional information in connection with a claim or appeal to do so at the claimant’s own expense. No action at law or in equity shall be brought to recover benefits under the Plan until the claim and review process in this SECTION 14 has been exercised and until the Plan benefits requested in such review have been denied in whole or in part (unless a court determines, pursuant to Department of Labor Regulation Section 2560.503-1(l)(2), that the procedures were not followed with respect to New Disability Claims and should be deemed exhausted). If any judicial proceeding is undertaken to appeal the denial of a claim or bring any other action under ERISA other than a breach of fiduciary duty claim, the evidence presented shall be strictly limited to the evidence timely presented to the Committee. In addition, any such judicial proceeding must be filed no later than the earliest of (i) 90 days after the Committee’s final decision regarding the claim appeal, (ii) three years after the date on which the Participant or other claimant commenced payment of the Plan benefits at issue in the judicial proceeding, or (iii) the statutory deadline for filing a claim or lawsuit with respect to the Plan benefits at issue in the judicial proceeding as determined by applying the most analogous statute of limitations for the state of Illinois. All decisions and communications to Participants, Spouses, Beneficiaries, or other persons regarding a claim for benefits under the Plan shall be held strictly confidential by the Participant, Spouse, Beneficiary (or other claimant), and the Committee, the Employers, and their agents.

-62- AmericasActive:14265831.9 SECTION 15 MANAGEMENT OF TRUSTS 15.1 Trustee and Trust Agreement All Plan assets shall be held in the Trust. The Trust shall be held by a Trustee under a Trust Agreement approved by the Committee. The Trust Agreement may provide for the joint administration, and commingling, of the Trust Fund with the funds of any other defined contribution plan established by any Related Employer. The assets of the Trust shall be held, invested and disposed of in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. 15.2 Restrictions as to Reversion of Trust Fund to the Employers Except as otherwise provided in this Subsection, all assets of the Trust Fund shall be retained for the exclusive benefit of Participants, Alternate Payees, and Beneficiaries. All the Employers shall have no right, title, or interest in the assets of the Trust Fund. No part of the assets of the Trust Fund at any time shall revert to, or be repaid to, the Employers, directly or indirectly, except as follows. (a) If the Internal Revenue Service initially determines that the Plan, as applied to an Employer, does not meet the requirements of a “qualified plan” under Code Section 401(a), the assets of the Trust Fund attributable to contributions made by the Employer under the Plan shall be returned to the Employer within one year of the date of denial of qualification of the Plan as applied to the Employer. (b) If a contribution or a portion of a contribution is made by an Employer as a result of a mistake of fact, such contribution or portion of a contribution shall not be considered to have been contributed to the Trust by the Employer and, after having been reduced by any losses of the Trust allocable thereto, shall be returned to the Employer within one year of the date the amount is paid to the Trust. (c) Each contribution made by an Employer is conditioned upon the deductibility of such contribution as an expense for Federal income tax purposes, to the extent the deduction for the contribution made by the Employer is disallowed, such contribution, or portion of such contribution, after having been reduced by any losses of the Trust allocable thereto, shall be returned to the Employer within one year of the date of disallowance of the deduction. In no event may the return of a contribution pursuant to Paragraph (b) or (c) above cause any Participant’s Accounts to be less than the amount had the contribution not been made under the Plan.

-63- AmericasActive:14265831.9 16.1 Amendment SECTION 16 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION While the Employers expect and intend to continue the Plan, the Company, by action of the Benefits Planning Committee, reserves the right to amend the Plan, in whole or in part, from time to time, except as follows: (a) The duties and liabilities of the Committee under the Plan cannot be increased substantially without its consent. (b) No amendment shall reduce the value of a Participant’s accrued benefit (as adjusted for income, losses, expenses, appreciation, and depreciation) to less than the amount he or she would be entitled to receive if the Participant had resigned from employment with all of the Employers on the effective date of the amendment. (c) Except as provided in Subsection 15.2 or required by the Code or other applicable law, under no condition shall any amendment result in the return or repayment to any Employer of any part of the Trust Fund or the income therefrom, or result in the distribution of the Trust Fund for the benefit of anyone other than Participants and any other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan. No person has the authority to modify the terms of the Plan, except by means of authorized written amendments to the Plan. No verbal or written representations contrary to the terms of the Plan and its written amendments shall be binding upon the Employers or the Plan. 16.2 Plan Termination The Plan shall terminate as to all Employers on any date specified by the Company by action of the Benefits Planning Committee with 30 days’ advance written notice of the termination given to the Committee, the Trustee, and the other Employers. The Plan shall terminate as to an individual Employer on the first to occur of the following. (a) The date the Plan is terminated by that Employer. (b) The date that Employer is judicially declared bankrupt or insolvent. (c) The date that Employer completely discontinues contributions under the Plan. (d) The date that Employer ceases to be a Related Employer due to one of the following: (i) The sale of all or substantially all of the stock of that Employer to a person that is not a Related Employer;

-64- AmericasActive:14265831.9 (ii) The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of that Employer to a person that is not a Related Employer; or (iii) The merger or consolidation of that Employer with a person that is not a Related Employer. Each Participant employed by an Employer that ceases to be a Related Employer shall be considered to have terminated employment with all Related Employers on such date and shall cease to accrue additional Plan contributions with respect to any period of time commencing on or after such date. 16.3 Nonforfeitability and Distribution on Termination Upon complete termination or partial termination of the Plan, or the complete discontinuance of all Plan contributions, the rights of all affected Participants to benefits accrued to the date of such termination, after all adjustments, shall be nonforfeitable. Upon such occurrence, the Committee may direct the Trustee to distribute to each Participant employed by that Employer his or her benefits under the Plan in a lump sum (unless he or she then is employed by a Related Employer). However, distributions under this Subsection shall be made only to the extent such distributions are permissible under Code Section 401(k) and applicable Treasury Regulations. All appropriate accounting provisions of the Plan shall continue to apply until all Participants’ Accounts have been distributed under the Plan. 16.4 Plan Merger, Consolidation, or Spin-Off In the case of any merger or consolidation with, or transfer of assets or liabilities to, any other retirement plan qualified under Code Section 401(a), each Participant’s benefit shall be equal to or greater than the benefit he or she would have been entitled to receive if the Plan had terminated immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer. If an operating unit of an Employer is sold and the purchaser agrees to a spin-off from the Plan, the Plan Accounts of Employees of such unit shall be transferred to a successor funding arrangement.

-65- AmericasActive:14265831.9 17.1 Non-Alienation of Benefits SECTION 17 MISCELLANEOUS The interests of persons entitled to benefits under the Plan are not subject to their debts or other obligations and, except as may be required by the tax withholding provisions of the Code or any state’s income tax act or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Plan benefits may not be voluntarily or involuntarily sold, transferred, alienated, assigned, or encumbered. 17.2 Absence of Guaranty Neither the Committee, the Trustee, nor any Employer in any way guarantees the Trust Fund from loss or depreciation. Except as required by applicable law, the Committee and the Employers do not guarantee any payment to any person. The liability of a Trustee or the Committee to make any payment under the Plan shall be limited to the assets held by the Trustee which are available for that purpose. 17.3 Employment Rights The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and participation in the Plan shall not give any Employee the right to be retained in the employ of any Employer (or any Related Employer), nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. 17.4 Litigation by Participants or Other Persons If a legal action begun against a Fiduciary, a Related Employer, or any person or persons to whom the Fiduciary has delegated all or part of its duties hereunder, by or on behalf of any person results adversely to that person, or if a legal action arises because of conflicting claims to a Participant’s or other person’s benefits, the cost to the Fiduciary, a Related Employer, or any person or persons to whom the a Fiduciary has delegated all or part of its duties hereunder of defending the action shall be charged to the Accounts of individuals or Participants involved in the action to the extent permitted by law. 17.5 Evidence Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document, or other information that the person acting on it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made, or presented by the proper party or parties. 17.6 Waiver of Notice Any notice required under the Plan may be waived by the person entitled to such notice.

-66- AmericasActive:14265831.9 17.7 Controlling Law Except to the extent superseded by laws of the United States, the laws of Illinois shall be controlling in all matters relating to the Plan. 17.8 Statutory References Any reference in the Plan to a section of the Code or ERISA, or to a section of any other Federal law, shall include any comparable section or sections of any future legislation that amends, supplements, or supersedes that section. 17.9 Severability In case any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been set forth in the Plan. 17.10 Action By Employers Any action required or permitted to be taken by an Employer under the Plan shall be by resolution of its board of directors, by resolution of a duly authorized committee of its board of directors, or by a person or persons authorized by resolution of its board of directors or such committee. 17.11 Gender and Number Where the context permits, words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, the singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular. 17.12 Examination of Documents Copies of the Plan and Trust, and any amendments thereto, are on file at the office of the Company where they may be examined by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan during normal business hours. 17.13 Manner of Delivery Each notice or statement provided to a Participant shall be delivered in any manner established by the Committee and in accordance with applicable law, including, but not limited to, electronic delivery. 17.14 Effect on Other Benefits Except as otherwise specifically provided under the terms of any other employee benefit plan of an Employer, a Participant’s participation in this Plan shall not affect the benefits provided under such other employee benefit plan.

-67- AmericasActive:14265831.9 17.15 Headings The headings of Sections, Subsections, and Paragraphs are included solely for reference and convenience and are not intended to modify or otherwise affect the text of the Plan. 17.16 No Third-Party Beneficiaries The Plan constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder.

-68- AmericasActive:14265831.9 18.1 Purpose and Effect SECTION 18 TOP HEAVY RULES The purpose of this SECTION 18 is to comply with the requirements of Code Section 416. The provisions of this Section shall be effective for each Plan Year in which the Plan is a “Top-Heavy Plan” within the meaning of Code Section 416(g); provided, however, that this Section shall apply with respect to only those Participants whose employment is not subject to a collective bargaining agreement between the Employers and a union that provides for their participation in the Plan. 18.2 Top Heavy Plan In general, the Plan shall be a Top-Heavy Plan for any Plan Year if, as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year (the “Determination Date”), the aggregate Accounts of Participants who are Key Employees (as defined in Subsection 18.3) exceed 60% of the aggregate Accounts of all Participants. In making the foregoing determination, the following rules shall apply. (a) A Participant’s Accounts shall be increased by the aggregate distributions, if any, made with respect to the Participant during the one-year period ending on the Determination Date (including distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with this Plan under Code Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i)). In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than Severance From Service, death or Disability, the one-year period shall be replaced with a five-year period. (b) The Account of, and distributions to, a Participant who was previously a Key Employee, but who is no longer a Key Employee, shall be disregarded. (c) The Account of a Beneficiary of a Participant shall be considered the Account of a Participant. (d) The Account of a Participant who did not perform any services for the Employers during the one-year period ending on the Determination Date shall be disregarded. (e) Any Catch-Up Contributions or any Rollover Contributions (or similar transfer) from a plan maintained by a corporation other than a Related Employer shall not be taken into account as part of the Participant’s aggregate Accounts. 18.3 Key Employee In general, a “Key Employee” is an Employee or former Employee (including any deceased Employee) who, at any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date, was:

-69- AmericasActive:14265831.9 (a) An officer of a Related Employer receiving annual Code Section 415 Compensation greater than $180,000 (as adjusted under Code Section 416(i)(l)); (b) A 5% owner of a Related Employer; or (c) A 1% owner of a Related Employer receiving annual Code Section 415 Compensation from any of the Related Employers of more than $150,000. The determination of who is a Key Employee shall be made in accordance with Code Section 416(i)(1) and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued thereunder. 18.4 Minimum Vesting For any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan and each subsequent Plan Year, a Participant who has completed at least three years of Vesting Service shall be 100% vested in his or her Accounts. 18.5 Minimum Employer Contribution For any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the Employer contribution, if any, credited to each Participant who is not a Key Employee shall not be less than 3% of such Participant’s Code Section 415 Compensation for that year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an Employer contribution credited in any year to a Participant who is not a Key Employee (expressed as a percentage of such Participant’s Code Section 415 Compensation) exceed the maximum Employer contribution credited in that year to a Key Employee (expressed as a percentage of such Key Employee’s Code Section 415 Compensation). For purposes of the foregoing, Pre-Tax, Catch-Up, Roth, Roth Catch-Up, and After-Tax Contributions shall not be considered Employer contributions, but Matching Contributions shall be considered Employer contributions and shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Code Section 416(c)(2) and the Plan. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to any Matching Contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan (including another plan that meets the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(12) and/or the requirements of Code Section 401(m)(11)), such other plan. Matching Contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as Matching Contributions for any applicable requirements of Code Section 401(m). If an Employer maintains more than one plan, the minimum Employer contribution otherwise required under this Subsection may be reduced in accordance with Treasury Regulations to either coordinate the minimum Employer contribution or prevent inappropriate duplications of minimum contributions or benefits. 18.6 Aggregation of Plans Each other defined contribution plan and defined benefit plan maintained by the Related Employers that covers a Key Employee as a participant, or that is maintained by the Related Employers in order for a Plan covering a Key Employee to qualify under Code Sections

-70- AmericasActive:14265831.9 401(a)(4) and 410, shall be aggregated with this Plan in determining whether this Plan is a Top- Heavy Plan. In addition, any other defined contribution plan or defined benefit plan of the Related Employers may be included if all such plans which are included when aggregated shall continue to qualify under Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410.

Income from continuing operations in the current-year quarter includes a non-cash, pre-tax pension settlement charge of $10.3 million, and approximately $3.0 million more discrete tax benefits compared to the prior-year quarter. The Company also reported adjusted income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of $24.9 million, equal to $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $27.2 million, or $0.44 per share, in the same quarter a year ago. The Company is reporting adjusted results to facilitate comparisons of underlying performance on a year-over-year basis. A reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP measures is provided at the conclusion of this news release.
Consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $1.21 billion, up $82 million, or 7%, compared to the prior year. Income from continuing operations for the year was $100.6 million, equal to $1.63 per diluted share, compared to $96.1 million, or $1.56 per share, in the prior year. Adjusted income from continuing operations for the year was $108.4 million, equal to $1.75 per diluted share, compared to $103.0 million, or $1.67 per diluted share, in the prior year.
Solid Operational Performance Despite Ongoing Disruptions; Customer Demand at Unprecedented Levels
“Our fourth quarter performance represented a solid finish to a year in which we delivered the second highest adjusted EPS* in our history, and is a testament to our team’s relentless focus on serving our customers despite the ongoing challenges in the marketplace,” commented Jennifer L. Sherman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our results were impacted by widespread supply chain disruption, increased commodity costs and the effects of higher coronavirus-related medical costs, partially offset by a lower-than-expected tax rate. Demand for our products remains at unprecedented levels, with our order intake this quarter setting a new Company record, contributing to an all-time high backlog of $629 million at the end of 2021, more than double the amount at the same time last year.”
In the Environmental Solutions Group, net sales for the fourth quarter were $246 million, up $8 million, or 3%, compared to the prior-year quarter, while in the Safety and Security Systems Group, net sales for the fourth quarter were $56 million, compared to $57 million in the prior-year quarter.
Consolidated operating income for the fourth quarter was $30.1 million, compared to $33.8 million in the prior-year quarter. Consolidated operating margin for the fourth quarter was 10.0%, compared to 11.5% last year.
Consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) for the fourth quarter was $40.0 million, compared to $47.0 million last year, and consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin in the current-year quarter was 13.3%, compared to 15.9% last year.
Adjusted EBITDA in the Environmental Solutions Group for the fourth quarter was $36.2 million, compared to $44.2 million last year, and its adjusted EBITDA margin in the current-year quarter was 14.7%, compared to 18.6% last year. Within the Safety and Security Systems Group, adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $11.0 million, compared to $11.2 million in the prior-year quarter, and its adjusted EBITDA margin in the current-year quarter was 19.7%, up from 19.6% last year.
Orders for the fourth quarter were $444 million, a new quarterly record for the Company, and an improvement of $168 million, or 61%, from last year. With the unprecedented order intake, consolidated backlog at December 31, 2021 was also at a record level of $629 million, an improvement of $325 million, or 107%, from last year.
Strong Cash Flow Supports M&A, Organic Growth Investment and Cash Returns to Shareholders
Net cash of $47 million was generated from operations in the fourth quarter, bringing the total year-to-date operating cash generation to $102 million.
During the fourth quarter, the Company completed the acquisitions of Ground Force and Deist. The Company also purchased its manufacturing facilities in Elgin, Illinois and University Park, Illinois in December 2021 and February 2022, respectively.
At December 31, 2021, total debt was $283 million, total cash and cash equivalents were $41 million and the Company had $209 million of availability for borrowings under its credit facility.
“Our cash flow generation remains strong, allowing us to acquire Ground Force and Deist, purchase two of our largest manufacturing facilities and fund cash returns to shareholders, while maintaining a low debt leverage position.” said Sherman.
During the fourth quarter, the Company funded $12.0 million of share repurchases, bringing the total for the year to $15.4 million. The Company also funded dividends of $5.5 million during the fourth quarter, bringing the total for the year to $22.0 million, and recently declared a similar $0.09 per share dividend that will be payable in the first quarter of 2022.
Outlook
“We remain encouraged by conditions in our end markets, the ongoing execution against our strategic initiatives, and the order trends that we have seen over the last few quarters, which have contributed to a record backlog entering 2022,” noted Sherman. “We have started to see benefits from federal stimulus funding in our municipal orders and with the recent increase in oil prices, we expect to see an uptick in demand for our safe-digging products. Notwithstanding a softer-than-normal first quarter, associated with ongoing supply chain volatility, coronavirus-related disruption and adverse weather, we anticipate recovery over the remainder of the year. For the full-year, we currently expect to report net sales of between $1.35 billion and $1.45 billion and adjusted EPS* of between $1.76 and $2.00 per share, despite a headwind of approximately $0.20 per share resulting from the normalization of our tax rate. With an active M&A pipeline, ongoing investments in new product development, capacity expansions and our people, and with anticipated multi-year tailwinds from infrastructure legislation passed in November, our businesses are well positioned for long-term, sustainable growth.”

Contact: Ian Hudson, Chief Financial Officer, +1-630-954-2000, ihudson@federalsignal.com
* Adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) is a non-GAAP measure, which includes certain adjustments to reported GAAP income from continuing operations and diluted EPS. In 2021, we made adjustments to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related (benefits) expenses, pension-related charges, coronavirus-related expenses and purchase accounting effects, where applicable. Should any similar items occur in 2022, we would expect to exclude them from the determination of adjusted EPS. However, because of the underlying uncertainty in quantifying amounts which may not yet be known, a reconciliation of our Adjusted EPS outlook to the most applicable GAAP measure is excluded based on the unreasonable efforts exception in Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B).

SEC REGULATION G NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION
The financial measures presented below are unaudited and are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided this supplemental information to investors, analysts, and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliations below, and to provide an additional measure of performance which management considers in operating the business.
Adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”):
The Company believes that modifying its 2021 and 2020 income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) provides additional measures which are representative of the Company’s underlying performance and improve the comparability of results between reporting periods. Adjusted income from continuing operations and Adjusted EPS are both non-GAAP measures. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, adjustments were made to reported GAAP income from continuing operations and diluted EPS to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related (benefits) expenses, pension-related charges, restructuring activity, coronavirus-related expenses, and purchase accounting effects, where applicable.

Adjusted EBITDA:
The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to net sales (“adjusted EBITDA margin”), at both the consolidated and segment level, as additional measures which are representative of its underlying performance and to improve the comparability of results across reporting periods. We believe that investors use versions of these metrics in a similar manner. For these reasons, the Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, at both the consolidated and segment level, are meaningful metrics to investors in evaluating the Company’s underlying financial performance.
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of income from continuing operations, interest expense, pension settlement charges, acquisition and integration-related (benefits) expenses, restructuring activity, coronavirus-related expenses, purchase accounting effects, other expense/income, income tax benefit/expense, and depreciation and amortization expense, as applicable. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of income from continuing operations, interest expense, pension settlement charges, acquisition and integration-related (benefits) expenses, restructuring activity, coronavirus-related expenses, purchase accounting effects, other expense/income, income tax benefit/expense, and depreciation and amortization expense, as applicable, divided by net sales for the applicable period(s).
Segment adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of segment operating income, acquisition and integration-related expenses, restructuring activity, coronavirus-related expenses, purchase accounting effects, and depreciation and amortization expense, as applicable. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of segment operating income, acquisition and integration-related expenses, restructuring activity, coronavirus-related expenses, purchase accounting effects, and depreciation and amortization expense, as applicable, divided by net sales for the applicable period(s). Segment operating income includes all revenues, costs and expenses directly related to the segment involved. In determining segment income, neither corporate nor interest expenses are included. Segment depreciation and amortization expense relates to those assets, both tangible and intangible, that are utilized by the respective segment.
Other companies may use different methods to calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin.

9 Financial Strength and Flexibility * * Dollar amounts as of, or for the quarter ending 12/31/2021, unless otherwise noted ** Net debt is a non‐GAAP measure and is computed as total debt of $282.8 M, less total cash and cash equivalents of $40.5 M Strong capital structure • Cash and cash equivalents of $41 M • Net debt of ~$242 M ** • In July 2019, we executed a five‐year, $500 M revolving credit facility, with flexibility to increase by additional $250 M for acquisitions • No debt maturities until July 2024 • Net debt leverage remains low • Compliant with all covenants with significant headroom Healthy cash flow and access to cash facilitate further organic growth investments and cash returns to stockholders • Generated ~$47 M of cash from operations in Q4 this year, bringing full‐year operating cash generation to $102 M • ~$209 M of availability under revolving credit facility • Continuing to invest in organic growth; purchased Elgin, IL manufacturing facility in Q4 (~$20 M) and University Park, IL manufacturing facility in February 2022 (~$28 M) • Completed acquisition of Ground Force Worldwide on October 4, 2021 for initial payment of ~$43 M • Completed acquisition of Deist Industries, Inc. on December 30, 2021 for initial payment of ~$37 M • Paid $5.5 M for dividends in Q4, bringing the total paid in 2021 to $22.0 M; recently declared dividend of $0.09 per share for Q1 2022 • Share repurchases totaling $15.4 M during 2021 ($12.0 M in Q4); ~$75 M of repurchase authorization remaining under current programs (~3% of market cap)

CEO Comments – Q4 Performance 10 • Record quarterly orders and backlog, with orders > $1.5 B for first time in Company’s history; municipal and industrial orders both up ~50% vs. last year • With lead times extended and chassis supply tightness, Q4 orders include some “pull forward”, which could cause distortion in order comparisons in subsequent quarters • Q4 results impacted by supply chain shortages, notably for chassis, which caused us to constantly modify production and sporadically shut down operations • Aftermarket business again strong, with Q4 revenues up $12 M, or 19%, vs. last year; represents ~30% of ESG revenues • Omicron variant caused dramatic increase in employee absences at our facilities and suppliers; trends continued into January when we recorded ~300 positive cases, about 8x‐9x higher than run rate in prior months Estimate that we lost 20,000 direct labor hours in January alone • Ongoing pressure from inflation; continuing to take pricing actions in response • Delays in receiving customer‐supplied chassis, and some additional inflationary increases meant we had less price realization than previously anticipated

CEO Comments ‐ Looking Ahead 11 • Remain focused on delivering strong results, while continuing to execute long‐term strategy • Balance sheet provides opportunities to drive both organic growth and M&A • Aftermarket business has grown to represent ~30% of ESG revenues; additional projects underway to drive further growth • Ongoing focus on electrification efforts; our first two plug‐in hybrid electric street sweepers were recently placed into service On February 15, 2022, the city of Los Angeles introduced the nation’s first two Elgin plug‐in hybrid electric Broom Bear street sweepers into service

CEO Comments ‐ Looking Ahead (cont.) 12 • Seeing benefits from federal stimulus funding in our municipal orders • Expect that infrastructure bill could provide meaningful benefits for most of our product offerings • Continue to be bullish about safe‐digging opportunity and expect to see an uptick in demand with recent increase in oil prices • M&A pipeline remains active • Expect supply chain tightness to persist in 2022 The recently‐launched TRUVAC TRXX vacuum excavator is a compact trailer with the power and features required at a variety of jobsites to perform a wide range of tasks

2022 Outlook Adjusted EPS* ranging from $1.76 to $2.00 13 Revenue of $1.35 B to $1.45 B, including full‐year contribution from 2021 acquisitions; represents YoY growth of 11% ‐ 20% vs. $1.21 B in 2021 Double‐digit improvement in pre‐tax earnings Depreciation and amortization expense of ~$60 M Capital expenditures of $25 M to $30 M, excluding University Park building purchase Interest expense of ~$6‐8 M Effective tax rate resets to a normalized rate of ~25%, excluding discrete items; YoY EPS headwind of ~$0.20 ~62 M weighted average shares outstanding Key Assumptions Although seasonal effects typically result in Q1 earnings being lower than subsequent quarters, expect Q1 2022 to be softer than normal, largely due to supply chain volatility, COVID‐related absences and adverse weather effects Expect recovery over remainder of the year, with 2H earnings expected to represent ~60% of full‐year earnings No significant deterioration in current supply chain environment; assumes steady flow of customer‐provided chassis No significant increase in current input costs *Adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) is a non-GAAP measure, which includes certain adjustments to reported GAAP income from continuing operations and diluted EPS. In 2021, we made adjustments to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related (benefits) expenses, pension-related charges, restructuring activity, coronavirus-related expenses and purchase accounting effects, where applicable. Should any similar items occur in 2022, we would expect to exclude them from the determination of adjusted EPS. However, because of the underlying uncertainty in quantifying amounts which may not yet be known, a reconciliation of our Adjusted EPS outlook to the most applicable GAAP measure is excluded based on the unreasonable efforts exception in Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B).

Non‐GAAP Measures • Adjusted income from continuing operations and earnings per share (“EPS”) ‐ The Company believes that modifying its 2021 and 2020 income from continuing operations and diluted EPS provides additional measures which are representative of the Company’s underlying performance and improves the comparability of results between reporting periods. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, adjustments were made to reported GAAP income from continuing operations and diluted EPS to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration‐related (benefits) expenses, pension‐related charges, restructuring activity, coronavirus‐related expenses and purchase accounting effects, where applicable. • Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin ‐ The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to net sales ("adjusted EBITDA margin"), at both the consolidated and segment level, as additional measures which are representative of its underlying performance and to improve the comparability of results across reporting periods. We believe that investors use versions of these metrics in a similar manner. For these reasons, the Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, at both the consolidated and segment level, are meaningful metrics to investors in evaluating the Company’s underlying financial performance. • Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is a non‐GAAP measure that represents the total of income from continuing operations, interest expense, pension settlement charges, acquisition and integration‐related (benefits) expenses, restructuring activity, coronavirus‐related expenses, purchase accounting effects, other income/expense, income tax benefit/expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin is a non‐ GAAP measure that represents the total of income from continuing operations, interest expense, pension settlement charges, acquisition and integration‐related (benefits) expenses, restructuring activity, coronavirus‐ related expenses, purchase accounting effects, other income/expense, income tax benefit/expense, and depreciation and amortization expense divided by net sales for the applicable period(s). • Segment adjusted EBITDA is a non‐GAAP measure that represents the total of segment operating income, acquisition and integration‐related expenses, restructuring activity, coronavirus‐related expenses, purchase accounting effects and depreciation and amortization expense, as applicable. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin is a non‐GAAP measure that represents the total of segment operating income, acquisition and integration‐related expenses, restructuring activity, coronavirus‐related expenses, purchase accounting effects and depreciation and amortization expense, as applicable, divided by net sales for the applicable period(s). Segment operating income includes all revenues, costs and expenses directly related to the segment involved. In determining segment income, neither corporate nor interest expenses are included. Segment depreciation and amortization expense relates to those assets, both tangible and intangible, that are utilized by the respective segment. Other companies may use different methods to calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin. 19
