For purposes hereof, a Person shall become a party to the Amended Credit Agreement and a Second Refinancing Term Lender as of the Second Refinancing Amendment Effective Date by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Second Refinancing Amendment Effective Date, a Lender Addendum (Additional Term Lender) in its capacity as a Second Refinancing Term Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the Existing Term Loans of a Continuing Term Lender must be continued in whole and may not be continued in part unless approved by the Lead Arranger.

(b)     Each Additional Term Lender will make its Second Refinancing Term Loan on the Second Refinancing Amendment Effective Date by making available to the Administrative Agent, in the manner contemplated by Section 2.02 of the Credit Agreement, an amount equal to its Second Refinancing Term Commitment. The “Second Refinancing Term Commitment” (i) of any Continuing Term Lender will be the amount of its Existing Term Loans as set forth in the Register as of the Second Refinancing Amendment Effective Date (or such lesser amount as notified to such Lender by the Lead Arranger prior to the Second Refinancing Amendment Effective Date), which shall be continued as an equal amount of Second Refinancing Term Loans, and (ii) of any Additional Term Lender will be such amount (not exceeding any commitment offered by such Additional Term Lender) allocated to it by the Lead Arranger and notified to it on or prior to the Second Refinancing Amendment Effective Date. The commitments of the Additional Term Lenders and the continuation undertakings of the Continuing Term Lenders are several, and no such Lender will be responsible for any other such Lender’s failure to make or acquire by continuation its Second Refinancing Term Loan. The Lenders having Existing Term Loans that are prepaid in connection with the making of the Second Refinancing Term Loans shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.05 of the Credit Agreement with respect thereto. The Continuing Term Lenders hereby waive the benefits of Section 3.05 of the Credit Agreement with respect thereto.

(c)    The terms of the Second Refinancing Term Loans shall be identical to the terms of the Existing Term Loans for all purposes under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than with respect to upfront fees, original issue discount and arrangement, structuring or similar fees payable in connection therewith or as otherwise set forth herein) and the Second Refinancing Term Loans shall be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents on the same basis as the Existing Term Loans. The maturity date of the Second Refinancing Term Loans shall be the date that is seven (7) years after the Second Refinancing Amendment Effective

Date. From and after the Second Refinancing Amendment Effective Date, each reference to an “Initial Term Loan” or “Initial Term Loans” in the Amended Credit Agreement shall be deemed a reference to the Second Refinancing Term Loans, each reference to a “Term Lender” in the Amended Credit Agreement shall be deemed a reference to a Second Refinancing Term Lender, and related terms will have correlative meanings mutatis mutandis (in each case, unless the context otherwise requires).

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing (but except as set forth in Section 4(b) above), the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to indemnification, reimbursement of costs and expenses, increased costs and break funding payments shall continue in full force and effect with respect to, and for the benefit of, each Existing Term Lender in respect of such Lender’s Existing Term Loans to the same extent expressly set forth therein.

(e)    The continuation of Continued Term Loans may be implemented pursuant to other procedures specified by the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arranger, including by repayment of Continued Term Loans of a Continuing Term Lender followed by a subsequent assignment to it of Second Refinancing Term Loans in the same amount.

(f)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that, at the sole option of the Administrative Agent, any Lender with Existing Term Loans that are prepaid as contemplated hereby shall, automatically upon receipt of the amount necessary to purchase such Lender’s Existing Term Loans so replaced, at par, and pay all accrued interest thereon, be deemed to have assigned such Loans pursuant to a form of Assignment and Assumption and, accordingly, no other action by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or the Loan Parties shall be required in connection therewith. The Lenders hereby agree to waive the notice requirements of Sections 2.05(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement in connection with the prepayment or replacement of Existing Term Loans contemplated hereby.

SECTION 5.    Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment and the obligations of each Second Refinancing Term Lender hereunder shall become effective on the date hereof (such date, the “Second Refinancing Amendment Effective Date”) upon satisfaction (or, with respect to Sections 5(a)(ii), (iv) and (v) only, waiver by the Administrative Agent) of each of the following conditions:
