• Maturity Date Extension The Borrower shall be entitled to extend the Maturity Date for up to two (2) six-month extensions; provided that (i) no Default then exists, (ii) the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent, at least ninety (90) days but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the initial Maturity Date or the First Extension Maturity Date, as the case may be, written notice of such extension, (iii) on or prior to the initial Maturity Date or the First Extension Maturity Date, as the case may be, the Borrower pays to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks an extension fee equal to 0.075% of the Total Commitments that will exist as of the first day of the first or second six-month extension, as the case may be (the “Extension Fee”), and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to the initial Maturity Date or the First Extension Maturity Date, as the case may be, for the account of each Bank a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent, dated as of the initial Maturity Date or the First Extension Maturity Date, as the case may be (the “Extension Date”), stating that: (a) the representations and warranties contained in Article IV are true and correct on and as of the applicable Extension Date as such representations and warranties may have changed based upon events or activities not prohibited by this Agreement, (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension, and (c) the Borrower, Parent and each Material Subsidiary is in compliance with the covenants contained in Article VII immediately before and, on a pro forma basis, immediately after the extension, together with a Compliance Certificate or other reasonable supporting information demonstrating such compliance. The Borrower’s delivery of written notice to extend shall be irrevocable, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of any such notice. In connection with any such extension, the parties hereto shall execute any documents reasonably requested in connection with or to evidence such extension. ARTICLE II

• Extension Option The Borrower may request that the Commitments be extended for up to two additional one year periods by providing not less than 30 days’ written notice (the date of such notice, a “Notice Date”) to the Administrative Agent prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date. If a Bank agrees, in its individual and sole discretion (and with the approval of the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, such approval, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to extend its Commitment (such Bank, an “Extending Bank”), it will notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of its decision to do so no later than 15 days after the applicable Notice Date (such extension decision, a “Commitment Extension”). The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, in writing, of the Banks’ decisions promptly upon receipt thereof and in any event not later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof. The Extending Banks’ Commitments will be extended for an additional year from the then current Maturity Date so long as (i) the Commitments of the Extending Banks (after giving effect to any assumption by any Extending Banks of Commitments of Declining Banks as described below), together with the Commitments of any New Banks that replace any Declining Banks, represent more than 50% of the Total Commitments then in effect, and (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrower to extend the Commitments, the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.3 shall be satisfied. No Commitment Extension shall result in the then-existing Maturity Date being more than five (5) years from the effective date of such Commitment Extension. No Bank shall be required to consent to any such extension request or be required to increase its Commitment. The Maturity Date with respect to any Bank that declines or does not respond to the Borrower’s request for an extension of the Commitments (a “Declining Bank”) shall remain the then-existing Maturity Date (without regard to any extension of the Commitments of other Banks); provided that the Borrower shall continue to have the right to replace any such Declining Bank (with respect to all or any portion of its Commitment) following the effectiveness of any such extension. The Borrower will have the right to accept Commitments from any Eligible Assignee that is not a Bank in an aggregate amount up to the aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Declining Banks; provided that any Eligible Assignee proposed to be substituted for a Declining Bank (unless such Eligible Assignee is an affiliate of a Bank) must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, such approval, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Borrower may only extend the Maturity Date twice during the term of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.7.

• Extension of Revolving Termination Date (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent in the form of Exhibit E-1 (an “Extension Request”) given no earlier than the first anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date but no later than 45 days prior to the then applicable Revolving Termination Date, request that the then applicable Revolving Termination Date be extended to a date (as requested by the Borrower) that is up to one calendar year after the then applicable Revolving Termination Date. Such extension shall be effective with respect to each Lender that, by a written notice in the form of Exhibit E-2 (a “Continuation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent given no later than 30 days after the applicable Extension Request is given by the Borrower (or such later date as the Borrower shall specify in such Extension Request) (the “Extension Request Response Date”), consents, in its sole discretion, to such extension (each Lender giving a Continuation Notice being referred to herein as a “Continuing Lender” and each Lender other than a Continuing Lender being referred to herein as a “Non-Extending Lender”), provided that (i) such extension shall be effective only if the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Continuing Lenders constitute at least a majority of the Total Revolving Commitments on the date of the Extension Request, (ii) any Lender that fails to submit a Continuation Notice on or before the applicable Extension Request Response Date shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension and shall constitute a Non-Extending Lender, (iii) not later than ten days prior to the then applicable Revolving Termination Date (prior to giving effect to such requested extension thereof), the Borrower shall have the right to replace any Non-Extending Lender without its consent or acknowledgement on a non-pro-rata basis with one or more Continuing Lenders willing to honor the Borrower’s Extension Request on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender (including at a higher or lower Revolving Commitment than such Non-Extending Lender’s Revolving Commitment), provided that after giving effect to such replacement, the Total Revolving Commitments shall be no greater than the Total Revolving Commitments immediately prior to giving effect thereto, subject to any increase in the amount of Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and (iv) the Borrower may give only two Extension Requests during the term of this Agreement. No Lender shall have any obligation to consent to any extension of the Revolving Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the receipt of an Extension Request promptly after receipt thereof. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders no later than five days after the applicable Extension Request Response Date whether the Administrative Agent has received Continuation Notices from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments aggregating at least a majority of the Total Revolving Commitments on the date of the applicable Extension Request.

• Extension of Revolving Credit Termination Date Borrower may, by notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) given at least thirty (30) days and not more than ninety (90) days prior to the then Revolving Credit Termination Date (the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”), request that Lenders extend the Existing Commitment Termination Date for one additional one-year period. Upon the Borrower’s timely delivery of such notice to Administrative Agent and provided, that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (both on the date the notice is delivered and on the then Existing Commitment Revolving Credit Termination Date), (ii) the Borrower and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with all covenants contained in Section 8 hereof, (iii) all representations and warranties contained in Section 6 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the date the notice is delivered and on the then Existing Commitment Termination Date except for representations and warranties that relate to a prior date, which shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) as of the applicable date on which they were made and (iv) the Borrower has paid in immediately available funds the Extension Fee on or prior to the first day of any requested extension period, then the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall be extended to the first anniversary of the then Existing Commitment Termination Date. Should the Revolving Credit Termination Date be extended, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply during any such extension period, and from and after the date of such extension, the term Revolving Credit Termination Date shall mean the last day of the extended term.

• Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date The Borrower shall have the right and option to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in respect of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or portion thereof, if reduced in accordance with §2.4, a total of two (2) times for a period of twelve (12) months each upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date:

• Extension Options Borrower shall have the option (the “First Extension Option”), by written notice (the “First Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date, to extend the Maturity Date to September 9, 2017 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”). In the event Borrower shall have exercised the First Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Second Extension Option”), by written notice (the “Second Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the First Extended Maturity Date, to extend the First Extended Maturity Date to September 9, 2018 (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”). In the event Borrower shall have exercised the Second Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Third Extension Option”), by written notice (the “Third Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Second Extended Maturity Date, to extend the Second Extended Maturity Date to September 9, 2019 (the “Third Extended Maturity Date”). Borrower’s right to so extend the applicable Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent prior to each extension hereunder:

• Optional Extension of Maturity The provisions of this Section 308 may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 301). The Stated Maturity of any Security of such series may be extended at the option of the Company for the period or periods specified on the face of such Security (each an "Extension Period") up to but not beyond the date (the "Final Maturity") set forth on the face of such Security. The Company may exercise such option with respect to any Security by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity of such Security in effect prior to the exercise of such option (the "Original Stated Maturity"). If the Company exercises such option, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, to the Holder of such Security not later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity a notice (the "Extension Notice") indicating (i) the election of the Company to extend the Maturity, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest rate applicable to the Extension Period and (iv) the provisions, if any, for redemption during such Extension Period. Upon the Trustee's transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated Maturity of such Security shall be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described in the next paragraph, such Security will have the same terms as prior to the transmittal of such Extension Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the Original Stated Maturity of such Security, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher interest rate to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the Stated Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest rate. If the Company extends the Maturity of any Security, the Holder will have the option to elect repayment of such Security by the Company on the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to such date. In order to obtain repayment on the Original Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Maturity thereof, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at the option of Holders, except that the period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may, by written notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before the Original Stated Maturity.

• Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance No earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day occurring after the last day of the Consent Period (as hereinafter defined). Whether or not the Borrower has made such request, the Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower no earlier than the 40th day (or, if earlier, the date of the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the Borrower) and no later than the 25th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (such period, the “Consent Period”), whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall be so extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.5(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

• Extension of Commitment Termination Date The Borrower may, no more frequently than once each year by delivering written notice to the Managing Agents (with a copy to the Program Agent), request the Lenders to extend the Commitment Termination Date for an additional 364 days past the then applicable Commitment Termination Date, with such extension to become effective with respect to any Lender Group, as of the date one or more Committed Lenders having Commitments equal to 100% of such Lender Group’s Lender Group Limit shall in their sole discretion consent to such extension (the Lenders in such a Lender Group, “Extending Lenders”). Any such request shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) at no time will any Commitment have a term of more than 364 days and, if any such request would result in a term of more than 364 days, such request shall be deemed to have been made for such number of days so that, after giving effect to such extension on the date requested, such term will not exceed 364 days, (ii) none of the Lenders will have any obligation to extend any Commitment, (iii) any such extension of the Commitment Termination Date will be effective only upon the written agreement of at least one Committed Lender and the Borrower and (iv) any request for such extension shall be made at least sixty (60) days prior to the then current Commitment Termination Date. The Managing Agent for each applicable Committed Lender will respond to any such request within thirty (30) days (with a copy to the Paying Agent) but in any event no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the then current Commitment Termination Date, provided that any Managing Agent’s failure to respond within such period shall be deemed to be a rejection of the requested extension.

• Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options The Board or a duly appointed committee thereof, may modify, extend or renew this Option or accept the surrender thereof (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of a new option in substitution therefore (to the extent not theretofore exercised), subject at all times to the Code and applicable securities laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, no modification shall, without the consent of the Recipient, alter to the Recipient’s detriment or impair any rights of Recipient hereunder.
