The Borrower has requested that the Required Lenders and the Required Facility Lenders for each of the Term B-1 Loans, the Term B-3 Loans and the Term B-4 Loans consent to amend Sections 2.05(b)(v), 2.15 and 2.16 of the Restated Credit Agreement to permit the Borrower to prepay any Class or Classes of Term Loans at its election with the Net Cash Proceeds of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred or issued on the Third Restatement Effective Date (as defined below).

C. Pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Restated Credit Agreement and subject to the terms of this Amendment, the Borrower desires to obtain Extended Term Loans (the “Term B-5 Loans”) in respect of (a) all of the Term B-1 Loans outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Third Restatement Effective Date (the “Third Restatement Existing Term B-1 Loans”), and (b) all of the Term B-4 Loans outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Third Restatement Effective Date (the “Third Restatement Existing Term B-4 Loans”), and has requested that (i) each Term B-1 Lender extend the maturity of and reclassify, effective, at such Term B-1 Lender’s election, either (x) prior to the Term B-5 Payment (as defined below) (the “Pre-Payment Term B-1 Extension”) or (y) immediately after the Term B-5 Payment (the “Post-Payment Term B-1 Extension”; each of the Pre-Payment Term B-1 Extension and the Post-Payment Term B-1 Extension are referred to herein as, individually, a “Term B-1 Extension” and, collectively, the “Term B-1 Extensions”), all or a portion of its Third Restatement Existing Term B-1 Loans as Term B-5 Loans, and (ii) each Term B-4 Lender extend the maturity of and reclassify, effective immediately after the Term B-5 Payment, all or a portion of its Third Restatement Existing Term B-4 Loans as Term B-5 Loans (the “Term B-4 Extension”).

D. The Borrower intends to issue Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness on the Third Restatement Effective Date, and after the Pre-Payment Term B-1 Extension but prior to the Post-Payment Term B-1 Extension and the Term B-4 Extension, to apply the Net Cash Proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness to prepay 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B-5 Loans outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Post-Payment Term B-1 Extension and the Term B-4 Extension.

E. (i) Each Term B-1 Lender identified on the signature pages to the addendum attached as Annex 1 hereto (the “Lender Addendum”) as an “Extending Term B-1/B-5 Lender” has agreed to extend the maturity of all or a portion of such Term B-1 Lender’s Third Restatement Existing Term B-1 Loans as Term B-5 Loans either in the Pre-Payment Term B-1 Extension or the Post-Payment

Term B-1 Extension (as indicated on such Extending Term B-1/B-5 Lender’s signature page attached hereto), and (ii) each Term B-4 Lender identified on the signature pages to the Lender Addendum as an “Extending Term B-4/B-5 Lender” has agreed to extend the maturity of all or a portion of such Term B-4 Lender’s Third Restatement Existing Term B-4 Loans as Term B-5 Loans, in each case, in the aggregate principal amount set forth below such Extending Term Lender’s signature on its signature page attached hereto (such amount, the “Term B-5 Loan Amount”) and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

F. Section 2.16 of the Restated Credit Agreement provides that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Term Lenders may enter into an Extension Amendment to provide for the extension of the Third Restatement Existing Term B-1 Loans and the Third Restatement Existing Term B-4 Loans contemplated by this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of all of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the same meanings as specified in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below).

SECTION 2. Amendment and Restatement.

(a) Effective as of the Third Restatement Effective Date, (i) the Restated Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in the form of Annex 2 hereto (the Restated Credit Agreement, as so amended and restated by this Section 2, being referred to as the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”); provided, that from and as of the Amendment Effective Date until immediately prior to the Third Restatement Effective Date, “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement” as used herein shall mean the Restated Credit Agreement as amended by the modifications in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement relating solely to the amendment to Sections 2.05(b)(v), 2.15 and 2.16 of the Restated Credit Agreement (i.e., without giving effect to the modifications therein relating solely to the Term B-1 Extensions and Term B-4 Extension (such modifications, additions and amendments, the “Extension Amendments”)); and (ii)(A) Exhibit C-7 attached to Annex 4 hereto constitutes a new Exhibit to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and (B) Exhibit A and Exhibit E attached to Annex 4 hereto hereby replace in their entirety the corresponding Exhibits attached to the Restated Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Third Restatement Effective Date. The rights and obligations of the parties to the Restated Credit Agreement with respect to the period (A) prior to the Amendment Effective Date shall not be affected by such amendment and restatement and (B) after the Amendment Effective Date but prior to the Third Restatement Effective Date shall not be affected by the Extension Amendments. In the event that the Amendment Effective Date should occur but the Third Restatement Effective Date does not occur, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower will amend the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (without the consent of any Lender) such that the Extension Amendments set forth therein shall be deleted in their entirety (and any provisions modified by the Extension Amendments shall be as in effect under the Restated Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Third Restatement Effective Date).

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the Extension Amendments contained in this Amendment constitute an Extension Amendment pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Restated Credit Agreement, and (b) each Extending Term B-1/B-5 Lender and Extending Term B-4/B-5 Lender that has executed and delivered a counterpart to this Amendment constitutes an Extending Term Lender with respect to the Third Restatement Existing Term B-1 Loans or Third Restatement Existing Term B-4

---

Loans, respectively, which such Lender has agreed to extend and reclassify as Term B-5 Loans, in accordance with the terms of this Amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that for purposes of clause (B) of the second proviso in Section 2.16(a) of the Restated Credit Agreement and the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with respect to any Term B-1 Extension and the Term B-4 Extension, the Term B-5 Payment shall not be included in the calculation of the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term B-5 Loans.

SECTION 3. Waiver. Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, the Required Lenders hereby waive, with respect to any Term B-1 Extension and the Term B-4 Extension, the five (5) Business Day requirement in respect of Extension Requests as set forth in Section 2.16(c) of the Restated Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4. Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment and the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall become effective as of the first date (such date being referred to as the “Third Restatement Effective Date”) when each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied; provided, that this Amendment and the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall become effective except with respect to the Extension Amendments as of the first date (such date being referred to as the “Amendment Effective Date”), when each of the following conditions (other than the conditions set forth in Sections 4(a)(i)(C), 4(a)(i)(D) and 4(e) below) shall have been satisfied:

(b) Consent Fee. The Administrative Agent shall have received from the Borrower a consent fee payable in Dollars for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) that has unconditionally and irrevocably returned an executed signature page to this Amendment to the Administrative Agent at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on December 17, 2012 (the “Consent Deadline” and each such Lender, a “Consenting Lender”) equal to 0.15% of the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, if any, held by such Consenting Lender as of the Consent Deadline with respect to which a consent was delivered pursuant to this Amendment and (y) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment, if any, of such Consenting Lender as of the Consent Deadline with respect to which a consent was delivered pursuant to this Amendment.
