WHEREAS, a portion of the Tranche C Term Loans is intended to be Replacement Term Loans, as contemplated in paragraph (b) of Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, and the proceeds of such Tranche C Term Loans will be used to repay in full the outstanding principal amount of the Outstanding Term Loans;

WHEREAS, the remaining portion of the Tranche C Term Loans are intended to be Incremental Term Loans, as contemplated in Section 2.23 of the Credit Agreement, and this Amendment shall be deemed to be an Incremental Commitment Agreement;

WHEREAS, each existing Original Term Lender that executes and delivers a signature page to this Amendment (a “Lender Addendum”) and agrees in connection therewith to continue all (or, at the Lead Arranger’s (as defined below) election, part) of its outstanding Original Term Loans as Tranche C Term Loans (such continued Term Loans, the “Continued Original Term Loans”, and such Lenders, the “Continuing Original Term Lenders”) will thereby (i) agree to the terms of this Amendment and (ii) agree to continue all (or, at the Lead Arranger’s election, part) of its existing Original Term Loans outstanding on the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), as Tranche C Term Loans in a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Continued Original Term Loans;

WHEREAS, each existing Tranche B Term Lender that executes and delivers a Lender Addendum and agrees in connection therewith, to continue that portion of their Tranche B Term Loans that would otherwise have been prepaid with the proceeds of the Tranche C Term Loans (or, at the Lead Arranger’s election, any such lesser amount), as Tranche C Term Loans, in lieu of prepayment of their Tranche B Term Loans (such continued Term Loans, the “Continued Tranche B Term Loans”; collectively, with the Continued Original Term Loans, the “Continued Term Loans” and such Lenders, the “Continuing Tranche B Term Lenders”; collectively with the Continuing Original Term Lenders, the

WHEREAS, Existing Term Lenders that do not become Continuing Term Lenders as contemplated by the preceding recital shall not (unless the Lead Arranger otherwise consents) otherwise be permitted to become a Tranche C Term Lender (as defined below);

WHEREAS, each Person (other than a Continuing Term Lender in its capacity as such) that executes and delivers a Lender Addendum and agrees in connection therewith to make a Tranche C Term Loan (collectively, the “Additional Tranche C Term Lenders”) will thereby (i) agree to the terms of this Amendment, (ii) agree to all provisions of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and to become a party to the Credit Agreement as a Lender and (iii) commit to provide Tranche C Term Loans to the Borrower on the Amendment Effective Date (the “Additional Tranche C Term Loans”) in such amount (not in excess of any such commitment) as is determined by the Administrative Agent and notified to such Additional Tranche C Term Lender.  The aggregate principal amount of the Tranche C Term Loans (including any Continued Term Loans) shall be $500,000,000 or such greater amount to be agreed among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Tranche C Term Lenders; and

(ii) of any Continuing Tranche B Term Lender (that is not also an Additional Tranche C Term Lender) will be the portion of its Tranche B Term Loans that would otherwise have been prepaid pro rata with the proceeds of the Tranche C Term Loans as set forth in the Register as of the Amendment Effective Date (or, if less, as allocated to it by the Administrative Agent and notified to it on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date), which shall be continued as an equal principal amount of Tranche C Term Loans;

(iii) of any Additional Tranche C Term Lender (that is not also a Continuing Term Lender) will be such amount (not exceeding any commitment offered by such Additional Tranche C Term Lender) allocated to it by the Administrative Agent and notified to it on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date; and
