Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

(in millions, except share and per share data)

(1) Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders.

The information furnished reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, were necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.

Equity Method Investment

During the third quarter of 2013, we determined that the carrying amount of the equity interest in our Swiss franchise was understated by $37.7 due to an error in recording the currency effect on the investment. We believe that the error was not material to the consolidated financial statements for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2013 or the prior period consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, we have recorded an adjustment to increase other assets and accumulated other comprehensive income by $37.7 on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 and the impact is included in foreign currency translation adjustments on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2013. There was no impact to the consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows for any period presented.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In accordance with the current accounting guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets, we perform an annual impairment test of goodwill at our reporting unit level and indefinite-lived intangible assets at our unit of account level during the third quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below their carrying value.

We performed our annual impairment test of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the third quarter of 2013 and determined that there was no impairment of our goodwill or our indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Significant assumptions used in our annual goodwill impairment test during the third quarter of 2013 included: expected future revenue growth rates, operating unit profit margins, and working capital levels; discount rates ranging from 11.7% to 16.5%; and a terminal value multiple. The expected future revenue growth rates and operating unit profit margins were determined after taking into consideration our historical revenue growth rates and operating unit profit margins, our assessment of future market potential, and our expectations of future business performance, inclusive of simplification and cost recalibration activities since the fourth quarter of 2012.

Subsequent Events

On October 15, 2013, we amended and restated our Five-Year Credit Agreement (“the Amended Agreement”) with a syndicate of commercial banks to, among other things: decrease the revolving commitments from $800.0 to $600.0, revise the termination date of the facility from October 5, 2016 to October 15, 2018, and permit the termination date of the facility to be extended by an additional year twice during the term of the Amended Agreement. The remaining material terms and conditions of the Amended Agreement are substantially similar to the material terms and conditions of our Five-Year Credit Agreement dated October 5, 2011.

We have evaluated events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date through our filing date and noted no events that are subject to recognition or disclosure, except those noted above.

(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on balance sheet offsetting. The new guidance requires an entity to disclose both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position. It also requires disclosures on instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. There was no impact of this adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment. The new guidance allows entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. An entity electing to perform a qualitative assessment is no longer required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on such an assessment, that it is “more likely than not” that the asset is impaired. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. We perform annual impairment tests in the third quarter of each year. The application of the guidance to our annual impairment tests did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on comprehensive income. The new guidance requires an entity to provide information about the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income by component. An entity is also required to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. There was no material impact of this adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on cumulative translation adjustment. The new guidance requires that currency translation adjustments should be released into net income only if the sale of a foreign subsidiary results in the complete liquidation of the entity. For an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of the currency translation adjustments should be released into net income upon a partial sale of such an equity method investment. The new guidance also clarifies that the sale of an investment in a foreign entity includes both (1) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in the foreign entity and (2) events that result in an acquirer’s obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date, otherwise known as a “step acquisition.” Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon the occurrence of those events. The guidance is effective for us in 2014. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit. The new guidance requires that, in certain cases, an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to the deferred tax asset when there is an existing net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or an existing tax credit carryforward. The guidance is effective for us in 2014. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

(3) Share-Based Compensation Plans

During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized share-based compensation expense of $8.0 and $7.9, respectively, and $22.8 for both the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The expense relates to stock options, deferred stock, restricted stock and performance share units. Consideration received from share-based awards was $65.8 and $4.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We recognize share-based compensation expense in selling and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over the service period of each award.

(4) Acquisitions

From time to time, we acquire and invest in companies throughout the world, including franchises. The total cash consideration for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $18.2 and $46.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For those acquisitions completed during the first quarter of 2013, our cash payments were fully offset by the cash acquired.

(5) Restructuring Costs

We recorded net restructuring costs of $62.9 and $22.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in selling and administrative expenses, related to severances and office closures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we made payments of $62.8 out of our restructuring reserve. We expect a majority of the remaining $41.5 reserve will be paid by the end of 2014.

Changes in the restructuring reserve by reportable segment and Corporate are shown below.

	Americas(1)			Southern Europe(2)			Northern Europe			APME			Right Management			Corporate			Total
Balance, January 1, 2013	$	4.5		$	4.7		$	15.6		$	-		$	6.6		$	10.0		$	41.4
Severance costs		9.3			3.3			17.5			1.8			4.6			4.2			40.7
Office closure costs		2.1			1.8			11.3			2.1			4.7			0.2			22.2
Costs paid or utilized		(12.1	)		(6.8	)		(23.0	)		(2.4	)		(6.4	)		(12.1	)		(62.8	)
Balance, September 30, 2013	$	3.8		$	3.0		$	21.4		$	1.5		$	9.5		$	2.3		$	41.5

(1) Balances related to the United States were $3.8 and $3.7 as of January 1, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

(2) Balances related to France were $3.8 and $3.0 as of January 1, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively. Balances related to Italy were $0.9 and $0.0 as of January 1, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

(6) Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax expense at an effective rate of 39.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to an effective rate of 41.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The 2013 rate was favorably impacted by a change in the overall mix of earnings, primarily an increase to non-U.S. income, and by the reinstatement of the 2013 United States Federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit (“WOTC”). The 39.7% effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35% and we currently expect an annual effective tax rate of approximately 40%, due primarily to the French business tax, the impact of valuation allowances, and other permanent items.

We recorded an income tax expense at an effective rate of 41.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to an effective rate of 47.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The 2013 rate was favorably impacted by a change in the overall mix of earnings, primarily an increase to non-U.S. income, and by the 2012 and 2013 WOTC, which was reinstated in January of 2013, retroactive to January 1, 2012. These rates are higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the French business tax, the impact of valuation allowances and other permanent items.

As of September 30, 2013, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits related to various tax jurisdictions, including interest and penalties, of $29.0. We had related tax benefits of $2.5, and the net amount of $26.5 would favorably affect the effective tax rate if recognized. As of December 31, 2012, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits related to various tax jurisdictions, including interest and penalties, of $28.5. We had related tax benefits of $2.5 for a net amount of $26.0. We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months.

We conduct business globally and, as a result, we are routinely audited by the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. Generally, the tax years that remain subject to tax examination are 2009 through 2012 for our major operations in Germany, Italy, France, Japan, United States and United Kingdom. As of September 30, 2013, we are subject to tax audits in France, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Italy, Norway and Spain. We believe that the resolution of these audits will not have a material impact on earnings.

(7) Net Earnings Per Share

The calculations of net earnings per share – basic and net earnings per share – diluted were as follows:

	3 Months Ended				9 Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Net earnings per share – basic:
Net earnings available to common shareholders	$	94.7	$	63.1	$	186.8	$	144.3
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		78.4		79.5		77.6		79.9
	$	1.21	$	0.79	$	2.41	$	1.81
Net earnings per share – diluted:
Net earnings available to common shareholders	$	94.7	$	63.1	$	186.8	$	144.3
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		78.4		79.5		77.6		79.9
Effect of dilutive securities – stock options		0.8		0.3		0.8		0.3
Effect of other share-based awards		0.8		0.2		0.8		0.4
		80.0		80.0		79.2		80.6
	$	1.18	$	0.79	$	2.36	$	1.79

There were 1.0 million and 4.2 million share-based awards excluded from the calculation of net earnings per share – diluted for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 1.1 million and 4.2 million share-based awards excluded from the calculation of net earnings per share – diluted for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as the exercise price for these awards was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period.

(8) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We have goodwill, amortizable intangible assets and intangible assets that do not require amortization, as follows:

(2) Balances were net of accumulated impairment loss of $139.5 as of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

(3) The majority of the Corporate balance relates to goodwill attributable from our acquisition of Jefferson Wells ($55.5) which is part of the United States reporting unit. For purposes of monitoring our total assets by segment, we do not allocate the Corporate balance to the respective reportable segments as this is commensurate with how we operate our business. We do, however, include these balances within the appropriate reporting units for our goodwill impairment testing. See table below for the breakout of goodwill balances by reporting unit.

Goodwill balances by reporting unit were as follows:

Effective January 1, 2013, we amended a defined benefit plan in the Netherlands. The defined benefit plan was frozen, and the participants were transitioned to a defined contribution plan. In April 2013, following the approval by the local Workers’ Council, we recognized a curtailment gain of €1.8 ($2.3) related to this amendment.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, contributions made to our pension plans were $6.3 and $14.2, respectively, and contributions made to our retiree health care plan were $0.6 and $1.6, respectively. During 2013, we expect to make total contributions of approximately $18.0 to our pension plans and to fund our retiree health care payments as incurred.

(12) Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

We are exposed to various risks relating to our ongoing business operations. Among these risks are foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, which can be managed through the use of derivative instruments. In certain circumstances, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates on our cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt obligations. We have historically managed interest rate risk through the use of a combination of fixed and variable rate borrowings and interest rate swap agreements. In accordance with current accounting guidance on derivative instruments and hedging activities, we record all of our derivative instruments as either an asset or liability measured at their fair value.

A portion of the €350.0 ($473.4) 4.5% note due June 2018 was designated as an economic hedge of our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries with a Euro functional currency as of September 30, 2013. For derivatives designated as an economic hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, the gain or loss associated with foreign currency translation is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had a $55.9 and $51.1, respectively, unrealized translation loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes, as the net investment hedge was deemed effective.

Our forward contracts are not designated as hedges. Consequently, any gain or loss resulting from the change in fair value is recognized in the current period earnings. These gains or losses are offset by the exposure related to receivables and payables with our foreign subsidiaries. We recorded a gain in interest and other expenses of $0.9 and $0.6 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and a gain of $0.4 and $0.8 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, associated with our forward contracts, which offset the loss recorded for the items noted above.

The fair value measurements of those items recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

			Fair Value Measurements Using
	September 30, 2013		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	1.0	$	-	$	1.0	$	-

The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value, except for the Euro-denominated notes. The fair value of the Euro-denominated notes, as observable at commonly quoted intervals (Level 2 inputs), was $512.8 and $778.8 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, compared to a carrying value of $473.4 and $725.5, respectively.

(13) Segment Data

On a consolidated basis, the French business tax is reported in provision for income taxes, in accordance with the current accounting guidance on income taxes. Prior to the second quarter of 2013, we internally reviewed the financial results of our French operations including the French business tax within Operating Unit Profit (“OUP”) given the operational nature of these taxes. While we continue to view this tax as operational, during the second quarter of 2013 we changed our internal reporting to exclude the French business tax from the OUP of our France reportable segment. Therefore, our France reportable segment OUP now excludes the business tax and we no longer need to show the business tax amount separately to reconcile to the consolidated results. All previously reported segment results have been restated to conform to the current year presentation. This change in segment reporting has no impact on our reporting of consolidated results.

We are organized and managed primarily on a geographic basis with Right Management currently operating as a separate global business unit. Each country and business unit generally has its own distinct operations and management team providing services under our global brands, and maintaining its own financial reports. We have an executive sponsor for each global brand who is responsible for ensuring the integrity and consistency of delivery locally as we develop and implement global workforce solutions for our clients that deliver the outcomes. Each operation reports directly or indirectly through a regional manager to a member of executive management. Given this reporting structure, all of our operations have been segregated into the following reporting segments: Americas, which includes United States and Other Americas; Southern Europe, which includes France, Italy and Other Southern Europe; Northern Europe; APME; and Right Management.

The Americas, Southern Europe, Northern Europe and APME segments derive a significant majority of their revenues from the placement of contingent workers. The remaining revenues within these segments are derived from other workforce solutions and services, including recruitment and assessment, training and development, and ManpowerGroup Solutions. ManpowerGroup Solutions includes Talent Based Outsourcing (TBO), Managed Service Provider (MSP), Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), Borderless Talent Solutions (BTS) and Strategic Workforce Consulting (SWC). The Right Management segment revenues are derived from career management and talent management services. Segment revenues represent sales to external clients. Due to the nature of our business, we generally do not have export sales. We provide services to a wide variety of clients, none of which individually comprise a significant portion of revenues for us as a whole.

(a)

In the United States, where a majority of our franchises operate, revenues from services included fees received from the related franchise offices of $4.2 and $3.9 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $11.2 and $10.9 for nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These fees are primarily based on revenues generated by the franchise offices, which were $181.6 and $175.8 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $512.0 and $520.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(b)

Our consolidated revenues from services include fees received from our franchise offices of $6.6 and $6.4 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and $18.0 and $17.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These fees are primarily based on revenues generated by the franchise offices, which were $285.4 and $270.5 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $792.4 and $794.4 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(c)

We evaluate segment performance based on OUP, which is equal to segment revenues less cost of services and branch and national headquarters operating costs. This profit measure does not include goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges or amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, interest and other income and expense amounts or income taxes.

(14) Contingencies

During the second quarter of 2013 a number of our French clients asserted claims against us, requesting refunds for various payroll tax subsidies that we have received dating back to 2003 related to our French temporary associates. While we receive claims in the normal course of business, there was a significant increase in claims made during the second quarter due to an impending change in the French statute of limitations that reduced the claims period from 10 to 5 years for claims filed after June 2013. We did not receive any claims during the third quarter of 2013. We believe these claims are without merit, as these payroll tax subsidies are for the benefit of the direct employer of the temporary associates. As such, our pricing practices implicitly consider all direct costs of employing our temporary associates, including the benefit of these payroll tax subsidies. We do not expect the resolution of these claims to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or the results of our France and Southern Europe segments.

In June 2013, the employer mandate provisions of the new U.S. healthcare legislation, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), were delayed until 2015 from the original effective date of 2014. The employer mandate provisions of PPACA are expected to have the greatest financial impact on us and our clients with U.S.-based employees. We expect this legislation will increase the employment costs of our permanent employees and our associates, but we continue to assess the potential impact. Our intention is to pass on to our U.S. clients any cost increases related to our associates, however there is no assurance that we will be fully successful.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

See the financial measures section on pages 23 through 25 for further information on constant currency and organic constant currency.

Operating Results - Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

In the three months ended September 30, 2013, revenue from services was relatively flat with the prior year, due in part to having one additional billing day in the quarter compared to the same quarter last year. Without the additional billing day, our revenues would have been down approximately 2% as demand for our services continues to be unfavorably impacted by the economic uncertainty. This decline represents an improvement from the 4% decline seen in the first half of the year as we have seen improving demand in several of our key markets during the quarter. We continue to see declines in our staffing/interim business and our European permanent recruitment business, however, these are improved from that in the first half of the year, while our ManpowerGroup Solutions business continues to see solid growth. At Right Management, the decrease in demand for the talent management services persisted due to a soft demand environment, while demand for our countercyclical outplacement services increased slightly.

Our gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 decreased slightly as the growth in our higher-margin ManpowerGroup Solutions business was offset by the impact of the 4.6% decline in our permanent recruitment business. Our staffing/interim gross profit margin remained flat in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 as payroll tax credits related to the Credit d’Impôt pour la Compétitivité et l’Emploi (“CICE”) in France and the improvement in the United States due to strong price discipline were offset by margin declines in certain European and APME countries. For additional information on the CICE payroll tax credit, see the Legal Regulations section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis. We recorded $8.1 million of restructuring charges in the quarter as we further simplify our organization and recalibrate our cost base. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 6.6% in constant currency in the quarter as we are seeing the benefits of the simplification and cost recalibration actions initiated since the fourth quarter of 2012.

Client demand for workforce solutions and services is dependent on the overall strength of the labor market and secular trends toward greater workforce flexibility within each of the countries and territories in which we operate. Slowing economic growth or economic contraction typically results in decreasing demand for labor, resulting in less demand for our staffing services. This slowdown typically impacts our operating profit unfavorably as we may experience a deleveraging of our selling and administrative expense base as expenses may not change at the same pace as revenues. However, due to our simplification and recalibration actions noted above, we were able to decrease our selling and administrative expenses as our revenues remained relatively flat, which enabled us to better leverage our expenses and favorably impacted our operating profit for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012.

The following table presents selected consolidated financial data for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 2012.

(in millions, except per share data)	2013			2012			Variance			Constant Currency Variance

The year-over-year increase in revenues from services of 0.3% (-0.3% decrease in constant currency and -0.7% on an organic constant currency basis) was attributed to:

·	increased demand for services in constant currency in several of our markets within Southern Europe and Northern Europe, including Italy (+3.3%), Spain (+12%), the Netherlands (+2%) and Belgium (+2%);

revenue increase in the United States of 0.1% primarily due an increase in ManpowerGroup Solutions revenues of 18.4% and an increase in our permanent recruitment revenues of 7.2%, partially offset by declines in our Manpower and Experis business lines due to a large client project in our Manpower business line that concluded in the first quarter of 2013 and strong price discipline in accepting new business opportunities;

·	the favorable impact of approximately 1.5% from one additional billing day in the period;

·	a 0.6% increase due to the impact of currency exchange rates; and

·	a Northern Europe acquisition in April 2013 that added 0.4% of revenue growth to our consolidated results; partially offset by

·	revenue declines in constant currency in other markets, including France (-3.6%), the Nordics (-2.4%), the United Kingdom (-1.0%) and APME (-1.2%) due to the decline in demand for our staffing/interim services.

The year-over-year 10 basis point (-0.10%) decrease in gross profit margin was primarily attributed to a 10 basis point (-0.10%) unfavorable impact resulting from the 4.6% decline in our permanent recruitment business. Our staffing/interim margins were stable in the quarter as the increases in the United States and Southern Europe, due to the benefit of the CICE payroll tax credit, were offset by a social security reserve recorded in France and lower gross profit margins in Northern Europe and APME.

The 6.3% decline in selling and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2013 (-6.6% in constant currency and -6.9% in organic constant currency) was attributed to:

·	a decrease in our organic salary-related costs, because of lower headcount;

·	a decrease in lease costs because we have closed over 350 offices since the third quarter of 2012; and

·	a decrease of non-personnel related costs, excluding lease costs noted above, as a result of the simplification and cost recalibration actions taken; partially offset by

·	restructuring costs of $8.1 million, comprised of $1.1 million in the Americas, $0.6 million in Southern Europe, $2.4 million in Northern Europe, $1.1 million in APME and $2.9 million at Right Management;

·	a 0.3% increase due to the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates; and

·	the additional recurring selling and administrative costs as a result of the acquisition in Northern Europe.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues decreased 100 basis points (1.00%) in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012. The change in selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues consists of:

·	a 80 basis point (-0.80%) favorable impact due to the decrease in our organic salary-related costs and lease costs as noted above; and

·	a 30 basis point (-0.30%) favorable impact due to the decrease of non-personnel related costs as a result of the simplification and cost recalibration actions taken; partially offset by

·	a 10 basis point (0.10%) unfavorable impact due to the restructuring costs noted above.

Interest and other expenses are comprised of interest, foreign exchange gains and losses and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expenses. Interest and other expenses were $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2012. Net interest expense decreased $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2013 to $7.0 million from $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2012 due primarily to the lower debt levels. Other income was $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to other expenses of $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2012 due to the increase in equity investment income in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012, primarily related to a gain on sale of investments by our minority-owned Swiss Franchise recorded in the third quarter of 2013.

We recorded an income tax expense at an effective rate of 39.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to an effective rate of 41.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The 2013 rate was favorably impacted by a change in the overall mix of earnings, primarily an increase to non-U.S. income, and by the reinstatement of the 2013 United States Federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit (“WOTC”). The 39.7% effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35% and we currently expect an annual effective tax rate of approximately 40%, due primarily to the impact of the French business tax, valuation allowances, and other permanent items.

Net earnings per share - diluted was $1.18 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $0.79 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Foreign currency exchange rates did not impact net earnings per share - diluted for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Weighted average shares - diluted was flat at 80.0 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The repurchase of 2.4 million shares during the fourth quarter of 2012 was offset by the increase in the dilutive effect of share-based awards due to the current quarter exercises and the increase in our share price.

Operating Results - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

The following table presents selected consolidated financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 2012.

The year-over-year decrease in revenues from services of 3.1% (-3.0% in constant currency and -3.3% on an organic constant currency basis) was attributed to:

decreased demand for services in several of our markets within the Americas, Southern Europe and Northern Europe, where revenues decreased 2.0% (-1.0% in constant currency), 2.9% (-5.7% in constant currency and -6.0% in organic constant currency) and 1.6% (-2.5% on a constant currency basis and -3.1% on an organic constant currency basis), respectively. Several of our larger markets such as France and Italy experienced revenue declines of 8.1% (-8.3% in organic constant currency) and 0.4% on a constant currency basis, respectively, due to the current economic environments in those countries;

revenue decline in the United States of 1.9% primarily due to a decrease in our larger strategic account client revenues because of softening demand, a large client project in our Manpower business line that concluded in the first quarter of 2013 and strong price discipline on new business opportunities;

·	revenue decrease in APME of 8.6% (-0.2% in constant currency) primarily due to the decline in demand for our staffing/interim services due to two fewer billing days; and

·	decreased demand for talent management services at Right Management, where these revenues decreased 9.6% (-9.0% on a constant currency basis); partially offset by

·	our acquisitions of two entities in April 2012, one in Southern Europe and one in the Americas, and one entity in April 2013 in Northern Europe, which combined to add 0.3% of revenue growth to our consolidated results.

The year-over-year 10 basis point (-0.10%) decrease in gross profit margin was primarily attributed to a 10 basis point (-0.10%) unfavorable impact resulting from the year-over-year 7.0% decline in our permanent recruitment business. Our staffing/interim margins were stable for the first nine months of 2013 as the increases in the United States and Southern Europe, due to the benefit of the CICE payroll tax credit, were offset by a social security reserve recorded in France and lower gross profit margins in Northern Europe and APME.

The 5.5% decline in selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (-5.3% in constant currency and -5.6% in organic constant currency) was attributed to:

·	a decrease in our organic salary-related costs, because of lower headcount and lower variable incentive-based costs;

·	a decrease in lease costs because we have closed over 350 offices since the third quarter of 2012;

·	a decrease in legal costs for the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012, primarily related to the $10 million settlement agreement in 2012 in connection with a lawsuit involving allegations regarding the Company’s vacation pay practices in Illinois; and

·	a decrease of non-personnel related costs, excluding legal costs noted above, as a result of the simplification and cost recalibration actions taken; partially offset by

restructuring costs of $62.9 million, comprised of $11.4 million in the Americas, $5.1 million in Southern Europe, $28.8 million in Northern Europe, $3.9 million in APME, $9.3 million at Right Management and $4.4 million in corporate expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to restructuring costs of $18.7 million, comprised of $10.4 million at Right Management and $8.3 million in the Americas, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012; and

·	the additional recurring selling and administrative costs as a result of the acquisitions in Southern Europe, Northern Europe and the Americas.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues decreased 40 basis points (0.40%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012. The change in selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenues consists of:

·	a 50 basis point (-0.50%) favorable impact due to the decrease in our organic salary-related costs and lease costs;

·	a 10 basis point (-0.10%) favorable impact due to the decrease of non-personnel related costs, excluding legal and lease costs noted above, as a result of the simplification and cost recalibration actions taken; and

·	a 10 basis point (-0.10%) favorable impact due to the decrease in legal costs as noted above; partially offset by

·	a 30 basis point (0.30%) increase due to the restructuring costs of $62.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $18.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Interest and other expenses were $27.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $33.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Net interest expense decreased $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $26.2 million from $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Other expenses were $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease is due partly to the increase in equity investment income in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012, primarily related to a gain on sale of investments by our minority-owned Swiss Franchise recorded during the first nine months of 2013.

Net earnings per share - diluted was $2.36 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.79 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted net earnings per share - diluted by approximately $0.02 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Weighted average shares - diluted decreased 1.7% to 79.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 80.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease is primarily a result of the repurchase of 2.4 million shares during the fourth quarter of 2012, partially offset by the increase in the dilutive effect of share-based awards due to the exercises in the nine months of 2013 and the increase in our share price.

Segment Operating Results

On a consolidated basis, the French business tax is reported in provision for income taxes, in accordance with the current accounting guidance on income taxes. Prior to the second quarter of 2013, we internally reviewed the financial results of our French operations including the French business tax within Operating Unit Profit (“OUP”) given the operational nature of these taxes. While we continue to view this tax as operational, during the second quarter of 2013 we changed our internal reporting to exclude the French business tax from the OUP of our France reportable segment. Therefore our France reportable segment OUP now excludes the business tax and we no longer need to show the business tax amount separately to reconcile to the consolidated results. All previously reported segment results have been restated to conform to the current year presentation. This change in segment reporting has no impact on our reporting of consolidated results.

Americas

In the Americas, revenues from services decreased 0.5% (1.2% increase in constant currency) in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012. In the United States, revenues from services increased 0.1% in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012. The revenue increase in the United States was attributable to an increase in ManpowerGroup Solutions revenues of 18.4%, primarily driven by our RPO and Managed Service Provider (“MSP”) businesses, and an increase in our permanent recruitment revenues of 7.2%. This increase was partially offset by a large client project in our Manpower business line that concluded in the first quarter of 2013 and strong price discipline in selectively accepting new business opportunities in the United States during 2013. In Other Americas, revenues from services declined 1.6% (3.4% increase in constant currency) in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012, with revenue growth in Argentina and Canada of 15.8% and 3.2%, respectively, in constant currency.

Revenues from services decreased 2.0% (-1.0% in constant currency) in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012. In the United States, revenues from services declined 1.9% in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012. The revenue decline in the United States was attributable to a decline in staffing/interim services in the Manpower and Experis business lines due to softening of demand from our larger strategic accounts in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012, a large client project in our Manpower business line that concluded in the first quarter of 2013 and strong price discipline in selectively accepting new business opportunities. These declines were partially offset by an increase in ManpowerGroup Solutions revenues of 16.1% and an increase in our permanent recruitment revenues of 6.8% in the United States for the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012. In Other Americas, revenues from services declined 2.0% (0.8% increase in constant currency and 0.6% increase on an organic constant currency basis) in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012, with a revenue decline in Argentina of 13.4%, partially offset by revenue increases in Canada of 5.1% (6.0% on an organic constant currency basis) and Mexico of 3.2%.

Gross profit margin was flat in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 as the favorable impact of improved staffing/interim gross profit margin in the United States resulting from stronger pricing discipline and continued growth in our ManpowerGroup Solutions and permanent recruitment businesses was partially offset by the decrease in staffing/interim gross profit margins in Other Americas.

Gross profit margin increased in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012 due to the favorable impact of improved staffing/interim gross profit margin resulting from stronger pricing discipline in the United States, as well as continued growth in our ManpowerGroup Solutions and permanent recruitment businesses.

In the third quarter of 2013, selling and administrative expenses decreased 6.2% (-4.8% in constant currency) due to declines in salary-related and lease costs as a result of the cost recalibration plan, partially offset by restructuring costs of $1.1 million incurred in the third quarter of 2013.

In the first nine months of 2013, selling and administrative expenses decreased 5.0% (-4.1% in constant currency) due to $10.0 million of legal costs incurred in the first nine months of 2012 and declines in salary-related and lease costs as a result of the cost recalibration plan, partially offset by an increase in restructuring costs to $11.4 million recorded in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $8.3 million in the first nine months of 2012.

OUP margin in the Americas was 4.0% and 3.1% for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. In the United States, OUP margin was 4.5% in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 3.2% in 2012. The margin increase in the third quarter of 2013 in the United States was due to the decrease in salary-related and lease costs as well as the improvement in the gross profit margin as noted above. Other Americas OUP margin was 3.0% in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2.8% in the third quarter of 2012. The increase in the Other Americas OUP margin was due to the cost savings from the cost recalibration plan put in place in 2012 favorably impacted expense levels, partially offset by the decline in the gross profit margin.

OUP margin in the Americas was 3.1% and 2.2% for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. In the United States, OUP margin was 3.3% in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 1.7% in 2012. The margin increase in the first nine months of 2013 in the United States was due to the 2012 legal costs as well as the improvement in the gross profit margin as noted above, partially offset by the increase in restructuring costs. Other Americas OUP margin was 2.8% in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 3.1% in the first nine months of 2012. The decrease in the Other Americas OUP margin was due to restructuring costs in the first nine months of 2013.

Southern Europe

In Southern Europe, which includes operations in France and Italy, revenues from services increased 4.9% (-1.0% decrease in constant currency and -1.4% in organic constant currency) in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012. In France (which represents 74% of Southern Europe’s revenues), revenues from services decreased 3.6% in constant currency in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 due primarily to a softening demand in the staffing/interim business, and an 18.1% decline in constant currency in the permanent recruitment business. In Italy (which represents 14% of Southern Europe’s revenues), revenues from services increased 3.3% in constant currency in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 due mostly to an increase in our staffing/interim services, due to increased demand and to one additional billing day in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012, and a 43% increase in constant currency in the ManpowerGroup Solutions business line. In Other Southern Europe, revenues from services increased 20.4% (12.5% in constant currency and 8.8% in organic constant currency) during the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 driven by the revenue increase in Portugal, due to the increases in the Manpower staffing and ManpowerGroup Solutions businesses, and in Spain, due to improved demand and an acquisition of some clients from a local competitor in July 2013.

Revenues from services decreased 2.9% (-5.7% in constant currency and -6.0% on an organic constant currency basis) in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012. In France and Italy, revenues from services decreased 8.3% in organic constant currency and 0.4% in constant currency, respectively, in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease in France is due primarily to softening demand in the staffing/interim business and a 23.3% decline in constant currency in the permanent recruitment business. The decrease in Italy is due to a slight decrease in our staffing/interim services as well as a 1.3% decline in constant currency in the permanent recruitment business. In Other Southern Europe, revenues from services increased 8.7% (4.7% in constant currency and 3.5% in organic constant currency) during the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012 driven by the revenue increase in Portugal, due to the increases in the Manpower staffing and ManpowerGroup Solutions businesses, offset by the 6.3% revenue decline in organic constant currency in Spain due to the weak economic conditions in that market through the first half of the year.

Gross profit margin increased in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012 due primarily to the CICE payroll tax credit in France, which was partially offset by the additional social security reserve recorded in France in the third quarter, the decrease in our permanent recruitment business, and pricing pressures in the small/medium-sized businesses in France and in Italy that unfavorably impacted staffing/interim gross margins.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased 2.6% (-8.1% in constant currency and -8.2% on an organic constant currency basis) during the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 primarily related to the decrease in organic salary-related costs due to lower headcount, partially offset by the $0.6 million of restructuring costs.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased 3.7% (-6.3% in constant currency and -6.7% on an organic constant currency basis) during the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012 primarily related to the decrease in organic salary-related costs due to lower headcount, partially offset by the $5.1 million of restructuring costs and the additional recurring selling and administrative costs resulting from the 2012 Damilo acquisition in France.

OUP margin in Southern Europe was 3.8% for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2.6% for 2012. In France, the OUP margin was 4.1% for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2.6% for 2012, due to the improvement in our gross profit margin and the decrease in salary-related costs due to lower headcount. In Italy, the OUP margin was 4.0% for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 3.8% for 2012, due to stronger price discipline and improved productivity. Other Southern Europe’s OUP margin increased to 1.8% for the third quarter of 2013 from 1.2% in 2012 due to the decrease in organic salary-related costs partially offset by the decrease in the gross profit margin.

OUP margin in Southern Europe was 3.3% for the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2.5% for 2012. In France, the OUP margin was 3.3% for the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2.3% for 2012, due to the improvement in our gross profit margin and the decrease in salary-related costs due to lower headcount, partially offset by the restructuring costs in the first nine months of 2013. In Italy, the OUP margin was 4.6% for both the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, as the decrease in salary-related and lease costs from lower headcount and fewer offices was offset by the decrease in the gross profit margin and the restructuring costs in the first nine months of 2013. Other Southern Europe’s OUP margin declined to 1.2% for the first nine months of 2013 from 1.5% in 2012 due to the decrease in the gross profit margin and the restructuring costs in the first nine months of 2013.

Northern Europe

In Northern Europe, which includes operations in the United Kingdom, the Nordics, Germany and the Netherlands (comprising 31%, 22%, 13%, and 10%, respectively, of Northern Europe’s revenues), revenues from services increased 1.5% (-0.3% decrease in constant currency and -1.1% on an organic constant currency basis) in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to 2012. The increase in revenues from services was primarily attributable to the increase in our Manpower staffing services due to improving demand and one additional billing day, partially offset by the 3.5% decline in constant currency in our Experis business line, which saw softening demand for IT services among our larger clients, in both our interim and permanent recruitment businesses.

Revenues from services decreased 1.6% (-2.5% in constant currency and -3.1% on an organic constant currency basis) in the first nine months of 2013 as compared to 2012. The decrease in revenues from services was primarily attributable to the 10.8% decline in constant currency in our Experis business line, which saw softening demand for IT services among our larger clients, in both our interim and permanent recruitment businesses.

Gross profit margin decreased in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 due to the decline in our staffing/interim margins as we experienced lower bench utilization in our Manpower business line in Sweden, continued to encounter general pricing pressures in several markets, and saw a 6.2% decrease in constant currency in our permanent recruitment business.

Gross profit margin decreased in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012 due to the decline in our staffing/interim margins as we experienced lower bench utilization in our Manpower business line in Sweden and new collective labor agreements and higher holiday pay costs in Germany, encountered general pricing pressures in several markets, and saw a 10.1% decrease in constant currency in our permanent recruitment business.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased 6.3% (-8.6% decrease in constant currency and -9.3% on an organic constant currency basis) in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses was due primarily to lower headcount, which reduced compensation-related expenses such as salaries and variable incentive-based costs, lower lease costs, and the additional cost savings from the cost recalibration plan put in place in 2012, partially offset by the $2.4 million of restructuring costs in the quarter and the additional recurring selling and administrative costs resulting from an acquisition in April 2013.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased 3.8% (-5.2% decrease in constant currency and -5.7% on an organic constant currency basis) in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses was due primarily to lower headcount, which reduced compensation-related expenses such as salaries and variable incentive-based costs, lower lease costs, and the additional cost savings from the cost recalibration plan put in place in 2012, partially offset by the $28.8 million of restructuring costs in the nine months of 2013 and the additional recurring selling and administrative costs resulting from an acquisition in April 2013.

OUP margin for Northern Europe was 3.5% and 3.0% for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The improvement in OUP margin was the result of the decrease in compensation-related expenses and lease costs as well as additional cost savings from the cost recalibration plan noted above, partially offset by the decrease in the gross profit margin and the $2.4 million of restructuring costs.

OUP margin for Northern Europe was 2.2% and 2.9% for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The OUP margin declined as the decrease in compensation-related expenses and lease costs as well as additional cost savings from the cost recalibration plan was not enough to offset the decrease in the gross profit margin and the $28.8 million of restructuring costs.

APME

In APME, revenues from services decreased 12.6% (-1.2% in constant currency) in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012. In Japan (which represents 38% of APME’s revenues), revenues from services decreased 2.4% in constant currency due primarily to continued soft demand for our staffing/interim services, partially offset by an increase in the permanent recruitment business. In Australia (which represents 23% of APME’s revenues), revenues from services were down 5.9% in constant currency for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 due to the decreased demand for interim services in our Experis business line, partially offset by the increase in the permanent recruitment business in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012.

Revenues from services decreased 8.6% (-0.2% in constant currency) in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012. In Japan, revenues from services decreased 3.0% in constant currency due primarily to soft demand for our staffing/interim services and fewer billing days in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012, partially offset by an increase in the permanent recruitment business. In Australia, revenues from services were down 7.0% in constant currency for the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012 due to the decreased demand for interim services in our Experis business line, partially offset by an increase in the permanent recruitment business.

Gross profit margin decreased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012 due to a decrease in our staffing/interim gross profit margin from modest pricing pressures and change in business mix, as well as the 2.2% and 4.6%, respectively, decline in constant currency in our permanent recruitment business.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased 14.7% (-3.4% in constant currency) in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 related to reduced compensation-related expenses such as salaries and variable incentive-based costs due to lower headcount, partially offset by $1.1 million of restructuring costs.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased 11.6% (-3.6% in constant currency) in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012 related to reduced compensation-related expenses such as salaries and variable incentive-based costs due to lower headcount, partially offset by $3.9 million of restructuring costs.

OUP margin for APME improved to 3.2% for the third quarter of 2013 from 3.0% for the third quarter of 2012, due to the favorable impact from the decrease in salary-related costs from lower headcount, partially offset by the $1.1 million of restructuring costs in the third quarter of 2013 and slight decrease in our gross profit margin.

OUP margin for APME was 2.9% in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 3.1% in 2012. OUP margin decreased for the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012 due to the decrease in our gross profit margin, $3.9 million of restructuring costs and the impact of fewer billing days, partially offset by the decrease in salary-related costs due to lower headcount.

Right Management

Revenues from services decreased 3.6% (-1.8% in constant currency) in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease was due to the decline in demand for our talent management business, as we are seeing a longer sales cycle as clients continue to defer their discretionary spending. Our countercyclical outplacement services increased slightly at 0.2% in constant currency in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012, as the increased volumes were offset by clients opting for programs with shorter durations.

Revenues from services decreased 3.6% (-2.1% in constant currency) in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease was due to the decline in demand for our talent management business, partially offset by the 1.3% increase in outplacement services in constant currency in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012.

Gross profit margin decreased in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012 due to the margin deterioration in both the outplacement business and talent management business, partially offset by the change in business mix as the higher-margin outplacement business represented a greater percentage of the revenue mix.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased 4.1% (-3.0% in constant currency) in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 due mostly to the cost savings from the cost recalibration plan put in place in 2012, partially offset by the restructuring costs of $2.9 million recorded in the third quarter of 2013.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased 10.4% (-9.4% in constant currency) in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012 due to the cost savings from the cost recalibration plan put in place in 2012, as well as a decrease in restructuring costs to $9.3 million recorded in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $10.4 million in the first nine months of 2012.

OUP margin for Right Management was 5.8% in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 7.0% in 2012. The OUP margin for the third quarter of 2013 decreased due to the restructuring costs of $2.9 million recorded in the third quarter of 2013 and the decline in the gross profit margin, partially offset by the decrease in selling and administrative expenses due to the cost recalibration plan noted above.

OUP margin for Right Management was 5.9% in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2.1% in 2012. The OUP margin for the first nine months of 2013 improved due to the decrease in selling and administrative expenses from the cost savings from the cost recalibration plan noted above as well as the decline in restructuring costs, partially offset by the decrease in the gross profit margin.

Financial Measures

Constant Currency and Organic Constant Currency Reconciliation

Changes in our financial results include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We provide “constant currency” and “organic constant currency” calculations in our quarterly report to remove the impact of these items. We express year-over-year variances that were calculated in constant currency and organic constant currency as a percentage.

When we use the term “constant currency,” it means that we have translated financial data for a period into United States Dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that we used to translate financial data for the previous period. We believe that this calculation is a useful measure, indicating the actual growth of our operations. We use constant currency results in our analysis of subsidiary or segment performance. We also use constant currency when analyzing our performance against that of our competitors. Substantially all of our subsidiaries derive revenues and incur expenses within a single country and, consequently, do not generally incur currency risks in connection with the conduct of their normal business operations. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily impact only reported earnings and not our actual cash flow or economic condition.

When we use the term “organic constant currency,” it means that we have further removed the impact of acquisitions in the current period and dispositions from the prior period from our constant currency calculation. We believe that this calculation is useful because it allows us to show the actual growth of our pre-existing business.

The constant currency and organic constant currency financial measures are used to supplement those measures that are in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). These Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of these Non-GAAP percent variances to those calculated based on our GAAP financial results is provided below:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used to fund our operations is primarily generated through operating activities and provided by our existing credit facilities. We believe that our available cash and our existing credit facilities are sufficient to cover our cash needs for the foreseeable future. We assess and monitor our liquidity and capital resources globally. We use a global cash pooling arrangement, intercompany lending, and some local credit lines to meet funding needs and allocate our capital resources among our various entities. During the nine months of 2013, we repatriated $136.2 million of our foreign earnings. As of September 30, 2013, we had $243.0 million of cash held by foreign subsidiaries that was not available to fund domestic operations unless repatriated. We anticipate cash repatriations to the United States from certain foreign subsidiaries and have provided for deferred taxes related to those foreign earnings not considered to be permanently invested. As of September 30, 2013, we have identified approximately $260.6 million of non-United States earnings that are not permanently invested. We may repatriate additional earnings in the future as cash needs arise.

Cash provided by operating activities was $111.7 million during the first nine months of 2013 compared to a cash outflow of $14.6 million during the first nine months of 2012. This increase is primarily due to changes in our operating assets and liabilities, due to the timing of collections, accruals and payments, and increased net earnings. Changes in operating assets and liabilities utilized $183.3 million of cash during the first nine months of 2013 compared to $263.8 million during the first nine months of 2012.

Accounts receivable increased to $4,294.1 million as of September 30, 2013 from $4,179.0 million as of December 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to the seasonal increase in revenue. DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) improved one day compared to September 30, 2012. At constant exchange rates, the September 30, 2013 balance would have been approximately $5.0 million higher than reported.

Capital expenditures were $33.6 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $48.6 million in the first nine months of 2012. These expenditures were primarily comprised of purchases of computer equipment, office furniture and other costs related to office openings and refurbishments. The expenditures were lower in the first nine months of 2013 as we are doing fewer office refurbishments and leasehold improvement projects due to our simplification plan.

Net debt payments were $266.2 million in the first nine months of 2013 as we paid off our €200.0 million 4.75% notes with available cash upon maturity in June 2013. Net debt borrowings were an inflow of $41.0 million in the first nine months of 2012.

Our €350.0 million 4.5% notes are due June 2018. When these notes mature, we plan to repay them with available cash, borrowings under our revolving credit agreement, or a new borrowing. The credit terms of any replacement borrowings, including interest rate and facility fees, will be dependent upon the condition of the credit markets at that time. We currently do not anticipate any problems accessing the credit markets should we need additional financing.

On October 15, 2013, we amended and restated our Five-Year Credit Agreement (“the Amended Agreement”) with a syndicate of commercial banks to, among other things: decrease the revolving commitments from $800.0 million to $600.0 million, revise the termination date of the facility from October 5, 2016 to October 15, 2018, and permit the termination date of the facility to be extended by an additional year twice during the term of the Amended Agreement. The remaining material terms and conditions of the Amended Agreement are substantially similar to the material terms and conditions of our Five-Year Credit Agreement dated October 5, 2011.

As of September 30, 2013, we had letters of credit totaling $0.9 million issued under our Five-Year Credit Agreement. Additional borrowings of $799.1 million were available to us under the credit agreement as of September 30, 2013. Under the Amended Agreement, this availability would have been $599.1 million.

The Five-Year Credit Agreement, as well as the Amended Agreement, require that we comply with a leverage ratio (Debt-to-EBITDA) of not greater than 3.5 to 1 and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1. As defined in these agreements, we had a Debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 0.74 to 1 and a fixed charge coverage ratio of 3.04 to 1 as of September 30, 2013. Based on our current forecast, we expect to be in compliance with our financial covenants for the next 12 months.

In addition to the previously mentioned facilities, we maintain separate bank credit lines with financial institutions to meet working capital needs of our subsidiary operations. As of September 30, 2013, such credit lines totaled $446.9 million, of which $403.8 million was unused. Under the Five-Year Credit Agreement, as well as the Amended Agreement, total subsidiary borrowings cannot exceed $300.0 million in the first, second and fourth quarters, and $600.0 million in the third quarter of each year. Due to this limitation, additional borrowings of $556.9 million could have been made under these lines as of September 30, 2013.

In December 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 8.0 million shares of our common stock. Share repurchases may be made from time to time through a variety of methods, including open market purchases, block transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, forward repurchase agreements or similar facilities. No repurchases were made during the first nine months of 2013. During the first nine months of 2012, we purchased a total of 1,178,897 shares, comprised of 619,257 shares under the 2010 authorization and 559,640 shares under the 2011 authorization. As of September 30, 2013, there were 8.0 million shares remaining authorized for repurchase under the 2012 authorization and no shares remaining under any previous authorizations.

On April 30, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.46 per share, which was paid on June 14, 2013 to shareholders of record on June 3, 2013.

On October 29, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.46 per share, which is payable on December 13, 2013 to shareholders of record on December 3, 2013.

We had aggregate commitments related to debt repayments, operating leases, severances and office closure costs, and certain other commitments of $1,723.9 million as of September 30, 2013 compared to $1,989.1 million as of December 31, 2012.

We also have entered into guarantee contracts and stand-by letters of credit that total approximately $164.4 million and $166.8 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, consisting of $126.1 million and $128.9 million for guarantees, respectively, and $38.3 million and $37.9 million for stand-by letters of credit, respectively. Guarantees primarily relate to bank accounts, operating leases and indebtedness. The letters of credit relate to workers’ compensation, operating leases and indebtedness. If certain conditions were met under these arrangements, we would be required to satisfy our obligations in cash. Due to the nature of these arrangements and our historical experience, we do not expect any significant payments under these arrangements. Therefore, they have been excluded from our aggregate commitments. The cost of these guarantees and letters of credit was $1.3 million and $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

We recorded net restructuring costs of $62.9 million and $22.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in selling and administrative expenses, related to severances and office closures in several countries. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we made payments of $62.8 million out of our restructuring reserve. We expect a majority of the remaining $41.5 million reserve will be paid by the end of 2014. Changes in the restructuring costs by reportable segment and Corporate are shown in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we implemented a simplification and cost recalibration plan that impacts all of our segments as well as our corporate functions. The goal of our plan is to simplify our organization by creating the right agility and speed, and focuses around four different areas: organization design, programs, delivery models, and technology structure. As a result of this plan, we expect a reduction in selling and administrative expenses of over $150 million in 2013. We expect that we will fully realize the annualized cost savings of over $180 million in 2014. We anticipate further restructuring costs in 2013 to achieve these expense savings as we continue to execute our plan.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

In accordance with the accounting guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets, we perform an annual impairment test of goodwill at our reporting unit level and indefinite-lived intangible assets at our unit of account level during the third quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below their carrying value.

The table below provides a sample of our reporting units’ estimated fair values and carrying values, which were determined as part of our annual goodwill impairment test performed in the third quarter ended September 30, 2013. The reporting units included below represent approximately 70% of our consolidated goodwill balance as of September 30, 2013.

(in millions)	United States		Netherlands		France		Right Management
Estimated fair values	$	1,143.0	$	148.9	$	1,577.0	$	258.8
Carrying values		977.8		110.9		537.6		137.8

Legal Regulations

The French government passed legislation effective January 1, 2013 to improve competitiveness and reduce employment costs by offering payroll tax credits to most French and foreign enterprises subject to corporate tax in France. This law, CICE, provides credits based on a percentage of wages paid to employees receiving less than two and a half times the French minimum wage. The payroll tax credit is equal to 4% of eligible wages in 2013 and increases to 6% of eligible wages starting in 2014. We will receive the credit as a reduction of our current income taxes payable, with any amounts not creditable against our current income tax payable being paid to us after three years. Given the amount of our current income taxes payable, we expect the majority of the cash to be received at the end of this three-year carry forward period. We intend to use the credit to invest in employment opportunities and to improve our competitiveness, as required by the law. We are uncertain what impact, if any, this credit will have on overall market pricing or on client requests for pricing concessions, either of which could reduce the net benefit we receive from these credits. The CICE credit is accounted for as a reduction of our cost of services in the period earned, and has had a favorable impact on our consolidated gross profit margin, as well as our margins in France and Southern Europe.

In Germany, the Confederation of German Trade Unions (representing eight German trade unions and over six million people) and the Employer’s Association of the Temporary Staffing Industry (representing two major temporary worker employers’ associations) entered into a new Collective Labor Agreement effective November 2013. The agreement will require higher wages to temporary employees and higher cost for vacation, sick pay and temporary staff time accounts, and will take effect between November 2013 and January 2014. This agreement is similar to nine other Collective Labor Agreements which became effective between November 2012 and July 2013. These changes will all have an unfavorable impact on our gross profit margin in Germany, as we pass on many of these additional costs to the client without a mark-up. However, we currently do not expect a significant impact on our consolidated or Northern Europe financial results.

SECTION 2.01. The Revolving Credit Advances and the Letters of Credit. (a) The Revolving Credit Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Revolving Credit Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date applicable to such Lender in an amount (based in respect of any Revolving Credit Advances to be denominated in a Committed Currency by reference to the Equivalent thereof in Dollars determined on the date of delivery of the applicable Notice of Borrowing) not to exceed at any time such Lender’s Unused Commitment at such time. Each Borrowing shall be in an amount not less than the Borrowing Minimum or the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof and shall consist of Revolving Credit Advances of the same Type and in the same currency made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Revolving Commitments. Within the limits of this Section 2.01(a), the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay pursuant to Section 2.11 and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a).

(b) Letters of Credit. Each Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”) denominated in Dollars or any Committed Currency for the account of the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until 30 days before the Termination Date applicable to such Issuing Bank in an aggregate Available Amount (based in respect of any Letter of Credit to be denominated in a Committed Currency by reference to the Equivalent thereof in Dollars determined on the date of delivery of the applicable Notice of Issuance) (i) for all Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank not to exceed at any time the lesser of (x) the Letter of Credit Facility at such time and (y) each Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment at such time and (ii) for each such Letter of Credit not to exceed an amount equal to the Unused Commitments of the Lenders at such time. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of the Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than one year after the Termination Date; provided that no Letter of Credit may expire after the Termination Date of any Non-Extending Lender if, after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Extending Lenders (including any replacement Lenders) for the period following such Termination Date would be less than the Available Amount of the Letters of Credit expiring after such Termination Date; provided, further, that in respect of any Letter of Credit with an expiry later than the date that is 90 days prior to the Termination Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent cash collateral on such 90th day, pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate stated amount of all Letters of Credit with an expiry later than the date five Business Days prior to the Termination Date and (y) an amount equal to the full amount of fees that would accrue with respect to such Letters of Credit under Section 2.05(b) if each such Letter of Credit with an expiry later than the date five Business Days prior to the Termination Date were not drawn or cancelled prior to its stated expiry. Within the limits referred to above, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b), repay any Letter of Credit Advances resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b).

SECTION 2.02. Making the Revolving Credit Advances. (a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than (x) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, (y) 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in any Committed Currency, or (z) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Agent which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telecopier in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, initial Interest Period and currency for each such Revolving Credit Advance. Each Lender shall, before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Advances denominated in Dollars, and before 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the date of such Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in any Committed Currency, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the applicable Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in the denominated Committed Currency. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Agent’s address referred to in Section 8.02; provided, however, that the Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Letter of Credit Advances outstanding on the date of such Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date, available to the Lenders for repayment of such Letter of Credit Advances.

(b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may not select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than the Borrowing Minimum or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.13.

(c) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Revolving Credit Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the higher of (A) the interest rate applicable at the time to Revolving Credit Advances comprising such Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount and (ii) in the case of such Lender, (A) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

SECTION 2.03. [Reserved]. .

SECTION 2.04. Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit.

(a) Request for Issuance. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit, by the Borrower to any Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall give the Agent, prompt notice thereof by telecopier, and the Agent shall, within one Business Day of receipt of such notice, confirm the availability of the Letter of Credit Commitment to such Issuing Bank. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be by telecopier, confirmed immediately in writing, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (C) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may reasonably specify to the Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in Section 8.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(b) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such participation. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date made, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(c) Drawing and Reimbursement. The payment by an Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by any such Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Advance in the amount of such drawing (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars) or in the amount that is the Equivalent thereof in Dollars determined on the date of such drawing, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in a Committed Currency. Upon written demand by such Issuing Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Advance to be funded by such Lender. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. Each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Issuing Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by any such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable. If such Lender shall pay to the Agent such amount for the account of any such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.

(d) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish in respect of Letters of Credit issued by it (A) to the Agent on the first Business Day of each week a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued during the previous week and drawings during such week under all Letters of Credit, (B) to each Lender on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit and (C) to the Agent and each Lender on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit.

(e) Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.04(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.

(f) Existing Letters of Credit. Effective as of the Effective Date (i) the letters of credit issued for the account of the Borrower prior to such date by Persons who are Issuing Banks hereunder and set forth on Schedule 2.04(f) hereto (such letters of credit being the “Existing Letters of Credit”) in an aggregate face amount not exceeding the total amount set forth on such Schedule 2.04(f) will be deemed to have been issued as, and be, Letters of Credit hereunder and (ii) the Existing Letters of Credit and the reimbursement obligations in respect thereof shall be obligations of the Borrower hereunder and shall no longer be obligations under the documents pursuant to which such Existing Letters of Credit were initially issued.

(New York time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Revolving Credit Advances as a part of such Borrowing during its Interest Period or (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (A) the Borrower will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (1) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (2) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any Committed Currency, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) exchange such Advances into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided that, if the circumstances set forth in clause (ii) above are applicable, the Borrower may elect, by notice to the Agent and the Lenders, to continue such Advances in such Committed Currency for Interest Periods of not longer than one month, which Advances shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin plus, for each Lender, the cost to such Lender (expressed as a rate per annum) of funding its Eurocurrency Rate Advances by whatever means it reasonably determines to be appropriate. Each Lender shall certify its cost of funds for each Interest Period to the Agent and the Borrower as soon as practicable (but in any event not later than ten Business Days after the first day of such Interest Period).

(c) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will (to the extent such Eurocurrency Rate Advances remain outstanding on such day) automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, Convert into Base Rate Advances and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in a Committed Currency, be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(d) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than the Borrowing Minimum, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any Committed Currency, be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended; provided that Borrower may elect, by notice to the Agent and the Lenders within one Business Day of such Event of Default, to continue such Advances in such Committed Currency, whereupon the Agent may require that each Interest Period relating to such Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall bear interest at the Overnight Eurocurrency Rate for a period of three Business Days and thereafter, each such Interest Period shall have a duration of not longer than one month. “Overnight Eurocurrency Rate” means the rate per annum applicable to an overnight period beginning on one Business Day and ending on the next Business Day equal to the sum of 1%, the Applicable Interest Rate Margin and the average, rounded upward to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16 of 1%, if such average is not such a multiple, of the respective rates per annum quoted by each Lender to the Agent on request as the rate at which it is offering overnight deposits in the relevant currency in amounts comparable to such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Advances.

(f) If the applicable Reuters Screen page (or any successor page) is unavailable,

(i) the Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances,

(ii) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances, each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in any Committed Currency, be prepaid by the Borrower or be automatically exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

(iii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

SECTION 2.10. Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit Advances. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09 and 2.13, Convert all Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Dollars of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Dollars of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b) and no Conversion of any Revolving Credit Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Dollar denominated Revolving Credit Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

SECTION 2.11. Prepayments of Revolving Credit Advances and Letter of Credit Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon notice at least two Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing or Letter of Credit Advances in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than the Borrowing Minimum or a Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof or the Equivalent thereof in a Committed Currency (determined on the date notice of prepayment is given) and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(c).

(b) Mandatory. (i) If, on any date, the Agent notifies the Borrower that, on any interest payment date, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Dollars then outstanding plus (B) the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the third Business Day prior to such interest payment date) of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Committed Currencies then outstanding exceeds 105% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date, the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, subject to the proviso to this sentence set forth below, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances owing by the Borrower in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount of Advances prepaid; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Base Rate Advances outstanding at the time of such required prepayment is less than the amount of such required prepayment, the portion of such required prepayment in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Base Rate Advances then outstanding shall be deferred until the earliest to occur of the last day of the Interest Period of the outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Advances in an aggregate amount equal to the excess of such required prepayment. The Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.11(b) to the Borrower and the Lenders, and shall provide prompt notice to the Borrower of any such notice of required prepayment received by it from any Lender.

(ii) Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period or at its maturity, any additional amounts which the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(c). The Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.11(b) to the Borrower and the Lenders.

SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation, administration or application of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender Party of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of making or maintaining Letters of Credit Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.12 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.15 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender Party is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof and (iii) FATCA), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for the purposes of this Section 2.12, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of law) and (y) all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities (whether or not having the force of law), in case for this clause (y) pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

SECTION 2.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender Party shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender Party or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or any Committed Currency or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or any Committed Currency hereunder, (a) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.08(a)(i), as the case may be, (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.08(a)(i), as the case may be, and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in any Committed Currency, be exchanged into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.08(a)(i), as the case may be, and (b) the obligation of the Lender Parties to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lender Parties that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 2.14. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances or Letters of Credit denominated in a Committed Currency, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent at the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Borrower shall make each payment, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts (other than fees) relating to, Advances or Letters of Credit denominated in a Committed Currency, not later than 11:00 A.M. (at the Payment Office for such Committed Currency) on the day when due in such Committed Currency to the Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or facility fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.15, 2.20 or 8.04(c)) to the Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender Party to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender Party hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.19 or an extension of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.20, and upon the Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date or Anniversary Date, as the case may be, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) All computations of interest based on Citibank’s base rate and of interest on Advances denominated in Sterling shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or One Month LIBOR and of fees or Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or facility fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender Party shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies.

(e) To the extent that the Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Agent to distribute funds to the Lender Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.14, the Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into Dollars or into a Committed Currency or from Dollars to a Committed Currency or from a Committed Currency to Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.14; provided that the Borrower and each of the Lender Parties hereby agree that the Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrower or such Lender Party as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies affected pursuant to this Section 2.14(f) or as a result of the failure of the Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange, other than any loss, cost or expense applicable to the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and provided further that the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender Party, and hold the Agent and each Lender Party harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender Party for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this Section 2.14(f), other than any loss, cost or expense applicable to the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 2.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14 or the applicable provisions of such other documents, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender Party and the Agent, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender Party or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender Party, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender Party’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) any United States withholding tax imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or any other documents to be delivered hereunder to any Lender Party or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) such Lender Party or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) imposed on or paid by such Lender Party or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender Party or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder by or on behalf of the Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) (i) Each Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender Party and on the date of the Assumption Agreement or the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes. If the form provided by a Lender Party at the time such Lender Party first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender Party provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which a Lender Party assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender Party assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender Party assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required by the Internal Revenue Service, that the Lender Party reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.

(ii) If a payment made to a Lender Party would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower of the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender Party has complied with such Lender Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 2.14(e)(ii) FATCA shall include amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.15(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided, or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.15(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender Party become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender Party shall reasonably request to assist the Lender Party to recover such Taxes.

(g) Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.

(h) If any Lender Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has actually and finally realized, by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Taxes paid or reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments under this Agreement or the Notes, a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained, and that would result in the total payments under this Section 2.15 exceeding the amount needed to make such Lender Party whole, such Lender Party shall pay to the Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date on which it actually realizes such benefit, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit or the amount of such excess, in each case net of all out-of-pocket expenses in securing such refund, deduction or credit; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to require any Lender to disclose confidential information regarding its tax affairs.

SECTION 2.16. Sharing of Payments, Etc. 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 Advances or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances 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 Advances 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

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower 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), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

The Borrower 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 the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.17. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender Party resulting from each Revolving Credit Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender Party from time to time hereunder in respect of Revolving Credit Advances. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender Party to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender Party to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Revolving Credit Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender Party, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender Party a Note payable to the order of such Lender Party in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender Party.

(b) The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender Party hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender Party to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.18. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances and issuances of Letters of Credit shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, acquisitions. The Borrower will not request any Borrowing or Letter of Credit, and the Borrower shall not use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries shall not use, the proceeds of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit (a) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (b) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country or (c) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

SECTION 2.19. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, at any time but in any event not more than once in any calendar year prior to the latest Termination Date, by notice to the Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Commitment be increased by an amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000,000 in excess thereof (each a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the latest scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Agent; provided, however that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments at any time exceed $800,000,000 and (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the applicable conditions set forth in Article III shall be satisfied.

(b) The Agent shall promptly notify the Lender Parties of a request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lender Parties wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender Party that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment. If the Lender Parties notify the Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lender Parties willing to participate therein in such proportion as the Agent and the Borrower may agree.

(c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lender Parties are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lender Parties are willing to participate in any requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lender Parties as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of not less than $5,000,000.

(d) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.19(b) (each such Eligible Assignee and each Eligible Assignee that shall become a party hereto in accordance with Section 2.22, an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender Party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender Party for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender Party pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.19(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the Executive Committee of such Board approving the Commitment Increase and the corresponding modifications to this Agreement and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel), in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto;

(ii) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Eligible Assignee, the Agent and the Borrower; and

(iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.19(d), the Agent shall notify the Lender Parties (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by telecopier, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date.

SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. (a) If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, such Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (A) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s aggregate principal amount of Advances and allocated share of the L/C Obligations may not in any event exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender;

(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s share of the L/C Obligations cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than three Business Days after demand by the Agent (at the direction of an Issuing Bank), (A) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such L/C Obligations in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such L/C Obligations, or (B) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Agent and each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and

(iii) any amount paid by the Borrower or otherwise received by the Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.20(d)) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder and will be applied by the Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to an Issuing Bank (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, sixth to pay principal then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, seventh to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, eighth to fund the Cash Collateralization requirements specified in clause (ii) above, ninth, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and tenth after the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 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 2.20 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized by the Borrower (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 3.02 in such amounts and in such times as may be required to (i) reimburse an outstanding drawing under a Letter of Credit or (ii) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit.

(b) No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.20, performance by the Borrower of its obligations shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 2.20. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.20 are in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Borrower, the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(c) If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing in their reasonable determination that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be funded and held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.21. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Applicable Lending Office in accordance with Section 2.12(a) or 2.15(g), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Approving Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort and so long as no Default is continuing, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 8.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 8.07;

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts under Section 8.04(e)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(e) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Approving 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 Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.22. Extension of Termination Date.

(a) Requests for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to the Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 60 days and not later than 30 days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Anniversary Date”), but not more than twice, request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Termination Date for an additional one year from the Termination Date then in effect with respect to such Lender.

(b) Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Agent given not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is 15 days prior to such Anniversary Date, advise the Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a “Non Extending Lender”) shall notify the Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date) and any Lender that does not so advise the Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non Extending Lender). The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

(c) Notification by Agent. The Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date 10 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

The Borrower shall have the right on or before the applicable Anniversary Date to replace each Non Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (as an Assuming Lender) with the approval of the Agent and each Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld), each of which Assuming Lenders shall have entered into an Assumption Agreement pursuant to which such Assuming Lender shall, effective as of the applicable Anniversary Date, undertake a Revolving Commitment (and, if any such Assuming Lender is already a Lender, its Revolving Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment hereunder on such date).

(e) Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend their Termination Date and the additional Revolving Commitments of the Assuming Lenders shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Anniversary Date, then, effective as of such Anniversary Date, the Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Assuming Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the Termination Date in effect for such Lenders (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Assuming Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless on the Notice Date and on the Anniversary Date:

(x) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date and after giving effect to such extension; and

Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit, to the extent funds are on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Banks to the extent permitted by applicable law.

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENT

SECTION 7.01. Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lender Parties hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the Notes and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lender Parties, and the Borrower shall not 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 Note (or any other similar term) with reference to the 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.

SECTION 7.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender Party as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender Party” or “Lender Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the 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 Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lender Parties.

SECTION 7.03. Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a 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 that the 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); provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement 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, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The 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 Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.01 and 6.01), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender.

(c) The 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, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (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, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

SECTION 7.04. Reliance by Agent. The 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 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 an Advance, 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 Bank, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), 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 7.05. Indemnification. (a) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Advances and Letter of Credit Advances owed to each of them (or if no Revolving Credit Advances and Letter of Credit Advances are at the time outstanding, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender Party or a third party.

(b) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the Issuing Banks (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank hereunder or in connection herewith; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse any such Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 8.04, to the extent that such Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower.

(c) For purposes of this Section 7.05, the Lender Parties’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lender Parties, (ii) their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time and (iii) their respective Unused Commitments at such time; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Letter of Credit Advances owing to the Issuing Banks shall be considered to be owed to the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse the Agent or any such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse the Agent or any such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender Party’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 7.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.

SECTION 7.06. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The 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 Agent and any such sub-agent. The 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 non appealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

SECTION 7.07. Resignation of Agent. (a) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lender Parties and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), 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 Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor 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 Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), 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) (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (except that in the case of any Cash Collateral held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold such Cash Collateral until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 Agent was acting as Agent.

(d) Any resignation pursuant to this Section by a Person acting as Agent shall, unless such Person shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders otherwise, also act to relieve such Person and its Affiliates of any obligation to advance or issue new, or extend existing, Letters of Credit where such advance, issuance or extension is to occur on or after the effective date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

SECTION 7.08. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the 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.

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Platform unless, and solely in the case of direct damages, such damages are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that the Borrower provides to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein which is distributed to the Agent or any Lender Party by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

SECTION 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender Party or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 8.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, syndication (including printing, distribution and bank meetings), transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, consultant, and audit expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent and the Lender Parties, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent and each Lender Party in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a).

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Agent, any Lender Party, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, arising out of or otherwise relating to the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances.

(c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurocurrency Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender (i) other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09, 2.11 or 2.13, acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.07 as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21 or (ii) as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09, 2.11 or 2.13, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance. If the amount of the Committed Currency purchased by any Lender Party in the case of a Conversion or redenomination of Advances in the case of Section 2.09 or 2.13 exceeds the sum required to satisfy such Lender Party’s liability in respect of such Advances, such Lender agrees to remit to the Company such excess.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.12, 2.15 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.

SECTION 8.05. Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender Party, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender Party or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any Note to such Lender Party or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender Party or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any Note and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender Party different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender Party and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender Party or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender Party agrees to notify the Borrower and the 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.

SECTION 8.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Agent and when the Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.01 and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower shall be null and void).

SECTION 8.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Lender Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any Lender Party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it); provided any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Advances at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advances or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five Business Days after having received prior written notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, and

(C) the consent of each Issuing Bank shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. 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 Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, each Issuing Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances in accordance with its Commitment. 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 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 2.12 and 8.04 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.

(c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (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 Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and 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 8.04(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 clause (a) of the first proviso of Section 8.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 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 agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.21 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.05 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 and 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.15(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) 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 any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; 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.

(j) The Issuing Bank may assign to an Eligible Assignee its rights and obligations or any portion of the undrawn Letter of Credit Commitment at any time; provided, however, that (i) the amount of the Letter of Credit Commitment of the assigning Issuing Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.

(k) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender Party may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement including in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

SECTION 8.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lender Parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory 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 by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any Note or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Note 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 Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder or (iii) to any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to this Agreement; or (h) with the consent of the Borrower.

SECTION 8.09. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Note and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

SECTION 8.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.11. Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in a Committed Currency into Dollars, the parties agree to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase such Committed Currency with Dollars at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(c) The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender Party or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender Party or the Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender Party or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender Party or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender Party or the Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender Party or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender Party or the Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.

SECTION 8.12. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Agent, any Lender Party or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any Note or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any Note shall affect any right that the Agent or any Lender Party or may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Note against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower 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 Note in any court referred to in paragraph (a) 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.

SECTION 8.13. Substitution of Currency. If a change in any Committed Currency occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi-national authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definition of Eurocurrency Rate) will be amended to the extent determined by the Agent (acting reasonably and in consultation with the Borrower) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lender Parties and the Borrower in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such Committed Currency had occurred.

SECTION 8.14. No Liability of the Issuing Banks. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither an Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit.

EXHIBIT D - FORM OF

OPINION OF COUNSEL

FOR THE BORROWER

[Effective Date]

To: Each of the parties to the Amended and Restated Five Year

Credit Agreement dated as of

October 15, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”)

by and among ManpowerGroup Inc., the banks,

financial institutions and other institutional lenders

listed on the signature pages thereof as lenders (the “Initial Lenders”),

the banks listed on the signature pages thereof as issuing banks (the “Initial Issuing Banks”, and together with the Initial Lenders, the “Initial Lender Parties”)

and Citibank, N.A., as agent for the Lender Parties (the “Agent”).

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for ManpowerGroup Inc. (the “Borrower”) in connection with the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the Notes dated October 15, 2013 executed by Borrower in favor of each Lender which has requested a Note.

This opinion is provided to you at the request of the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.01(h)(iv) of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement, together with the Notes, are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Transaction Documents.” Except as otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms in this opinion are used as defined in the Credit Agreement.

As counsel for the Borrower, we have examined:

(1)	The Transaction Documents.

(2)	The documents furnished by the Borrower pursuant to Article III of the Credit Agreement.

(3)	The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Borrower and all amendments thereto.

(4)	The Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Borrower and all amendments thereto.

(5)	A certificate of existence from the Department of Financial Institutions of Wisconsin, dated October 11, 2013, attesting to the continued corporate existence and status of the Borrower in that state (the “Status Certificate”).

We have also examined the originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such other corporate records of the Borrower, and certificates of officers of the Borrower, as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. We have not undertaken independently to verify the information contained in any such materials, and we have assumed the authenticity of all materials submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authenticated original materials of all materials submitted to us as certified or conformed or as photocopies.

In connection with the rendering of this opinion, we have, with your permission, assumed, without investigation, verification or inquiry:

a. That the Agent and the Lenders (the Agent and the Lenders are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Banks”) are each a corporation or association duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization;

b. That each of the Banks has the necessary power, authority and right to enter into, execute and deliver, and to perform, observe and be bound by its obligations under the Transaction Documents; that the transactions therein contemplated have been duly authorized by the Banks and that the Transaction Documents constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Banks;

c. That the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Banks;

d. That there are no oral or written agreements or understandings or course of prior dealing among the parties that would limit, expand or otherwise modify the respective rights and obligations of the parties, as set forth in the Transaction Documents, or that would have an effect on the opinions expressed herein; all material terms and conditions of the relevant transaction and the relationship among the Borrower and the Banks for purposes of the relevant transaction are correctly and completely reflected in the Transaction Documents and there has been no waiver of any of the provisions of the Transaction Documents by actions or conduct of the parties or otherwise; and

e. That all natural persons who are signatories to the Transaction Documents were legally competent at the time of execution; all signatures on the Transaction Documents and other documents reviewed by us are genuine, accurate and complete, each such document that is original is authentic and each such document that is a copy is accurate and complete and conforms to an authentic original.

Based upon the foregoing, but subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations contained herein, we render to you our opinion as follows:

1. The Borrower is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the State of Wisconsin and, based solely on the Status Certificate, is in active status, meaning that as of October 11, 2013, it has filed its most recent required annual report and has not filed Articles of Dissolution with the Department of Financial Institutions of the State of Wisconsin.

2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Transaction Documents are within the Borrower’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by the Borrower and do not require any further approval of its shareholders or directors.

3. The Transaction Documents are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms.

4. The execution and delivery of, and performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Transaction Documents do not: (a) constitute a breach or violation of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Borrower or any amendments thereto which are effective as of the date of this opinion; (b) as to payment obligations (including those arising upon acceleration) only, result in a violation of any applicable law, statute or regulation of the United States or the State of Wisconsin; (c) result in a violation of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, determination or award of which we have knowledge; (d) constitute an event of default under or result in a breach or violation of any instrument to which the Borrower is a party that is listed as a material agreement in the Officer’s Certificate attached hereto (a “Material Contract”), or (e) result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance on any property or assets of the Borrower pursuant to a Material Contract.

5. No authorization, consent, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required to be obtained or made by the Borrower to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution and delivery or performance of its respective payment obligations under the Transaction Documents, except (a) such as have been duly obtained or made and are in full force and effect; and (b) such as may be required by orders, decrees, and the like that are specifically applicable to the Borrower and of which we have no knowledge.

6. To our knowledge, the Borrower is not a party to any litigation or administrative proceeding which relates to the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents.

7. Although there is no controlling precedent on point, assuming that (i) the State of New York has a substantial relationship to the parties and the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (ii) there is a reasonable basis for the parties' choice of law and (iii) the application of New York law would not be contrary to important public policies of the state whose law would be applicable if the parties' choice of law provision were disregarded, we believe the courts of the State of Wisconsin would enforce the provisions of the Transaction Documents stipulating that the validity, construction and enforceability thereof will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

All of our foregoing opinions are, however, further subject to the following assumptions and qualifications.

A. Our enforceability opinion is limited by:

(i) Applicable bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, and other laws and judicially developed doctrines related thereto now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally;

(ii) General principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and by the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies;

(iii) The possibility that certain rights, remedies, indemnities, exculpation provisions, waivers and other provisions of the Transaction Documents may not be enforceable; nevertheless, such unenforceability will not render the Transaction Documents invalid as a whole or preclude: (a) judicial enforcement of the obligation of the Borrower to repay the principal, together with interest thereon (to the extent not deemed a penalty), as provided in the Transaction Documents; or (b) acceleration of the obligation of Borrower to repay such principal, together with such interest, upon a material default in a material provision of the Transaction Documents; and

(iv) The requirement that the enforcing party act in a commercially reasonable manner and in good faith in exercising its rights under the Transaction Documents.

B. Wherever we indicate that our opinion is based on our knowledge or the like, our opinion is, with your permission, based solely on (i) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in the Transaction Documents; (ii) the current conscious awareness of facts or other information of the attorneys currently with this firm who have represented the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents and of any other attorneys presently in our firm whom we have determined are likely, in the course of representing the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, to have knowledge of the matters covered by this opinion; and (iii) the Officer’s Certificate attached hereto.

C. We have not examined the records of the Banks or the Borrower, or any court or any public, quasi-public, private or other office in any jurisdiction, or the files of our firm, and our opinion is subject to matters that an examination of such records would reveal.

Our opinion is limited to the laws of the United States and the laws of the State of Wisconsin in effect on the date hereof as they presently apply, and we express no opinion herein as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. The Credit Agreement provides that it is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. We do not purport to be experts on, or generally familiar with or qualified to express legal conclusions based upon the laws of New York, and we express no opinion as to the laws thereof. In giving this opinion, we have assumed that the provisions of the Transaction Documents comply with New York law. Assuming that the Transaction Documents were governed by the internal laws of Wisconsin (without regard to choice of law principles thereunder), our opinion is as set forth herein.

We express no opinion as to (i) Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement insofar as it provides that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant thereto may exercise set-off or similar rights with respect to such participation, and (ii) the effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Wisconsin wherein any Lender may be located or wherein enforcement of the Credit Agreement or the Notes may be sought that limits the rate of interest legally chargeable or collectible.

This opinion is given as of the date hereof, it is intended to apply only to those facts and circumstances which exist as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation or responsibility to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention, any changes in laws which may hereafter occur, or to inform the addressees of any change in circumstances occurring after the date of this opinion which would alter the opinion rendered herein.

This opinion is limited to the matters set forth herein, and no opinion may be inferred or is implied beyond the matters expressly contained herein. This opinion is solely for the purposes of providing information and assistance to you in connection with the Transaction Documents. It is not intended to be quoted or otherwise referred to, nor is it to be filed with or furnished to or relied upon, by any other person, firm or corporation for any purpose without our prior written consent, provided that a copy of this opinion may be furnished or quoted (i) to your independent auditors, (ii) to regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over you, (iii) as otherwise compelled by legal process, and (iv) to any Person that becomes a Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any such Lender may rely on the opinion expressed above as if this opinion letter were addressed and delivered to such Lender on the date hereof. Accordingly, any Lender relying on this opinion letter at any time other than the date hereof should seek advice of its counsel as to the proper application of this opinion letter at such time.

Very truly yours,
