NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Defined Terms; Interpretation; Etc. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. This Amendment is an “Incremental Term Facility Amendment” and a “Loan Document” for purposes of (and as such terms are defined in) the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 2. Incremental Term Loans. (a) Each Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lender hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower at the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Effective Time in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount set forth opposite such Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lender’s name on Schedule I attached hereto, on the terms set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement, and subject to the conditions set forth below. The Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be “Term Loans” as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents having terms and provisions identical to those applicable to the Term Loans outstanding on the date hereof immediately prior to the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Effective Time except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment (including Annex A hereto).
(b) Unless previously terminated, the commitments of the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lenders pursuant to Section 2(a) shall terminate at 6:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Amendment Effective Date.
(c) Each Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lender: (i) confirms that a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment and make an Incremental Term Loan, has been made available to such Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lender; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Lending Partners LLC or Jefferies Finance LLC, in their capacities as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners with respect to this Amendment or any other debt financing transactions forming part of the Transactions (collectively, the “Arrangers”), or any other Lender or agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including this Amendment; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as
2
agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that upon the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Effective Time such Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lender shall be a “Lender” and an “Additional Term Lender” under, and for all purposes of, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall be subject to and bound by the terms thereof, and shall perform all the obligations of and shall have all rights of a Lender and an Additional Term Lender thereunder.
SECTION 3. Original Issue Discount. The Incremental Term Loans will be funded to the Borrower on the Amendment Effective Date at a discount of 3.0% of the principal amount thereof; provided that the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lenders may determine that, in lieu of such Incremental Term Loans being issued at a discount, the Borrower shall pay upfront fees to the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lenders on the Amendment Effective Date in the aggregate amount of 3.0% of the principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans on the Amendment Effective Date (or a combination of such discount and/or upfront fees not to exceed 3.0% in the aggregate on the Amendment Effective Date may be required, as determined and notified by the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lenders to the Borrower prior to the Amendment Effective Date). In addition, if, on February 28, 2016 (the “Adjustment Date”), any Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lender that is an affiliate of an Arranger holds any Incremental Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay, on the Adjustment Date, to all Incremental Term Loan Lenders holding Incremental Term Loans on the Adjustment Date, additional upfront fees in an aggregate amount of 1.0% of the principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans outstanding on the Adjustment Date (the “Additional Upfront Fee”).
SECTION 4. Additional Amendments; Type of Amendments. In furtherance of the foregoing, effective upon the Term Loan Incremental Amendment Effective Time, and in accordance with Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as set forth on Annex A hereto. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that all amendments set forth in this Amendment are, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, necessary and appropriate to effect the provisions of Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 5. Conditions to Incremental Term Loans. Each Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lender’s obligation to provide the Incremental Term Loans shall become effective at the time (the “Incremental Term Loan Amendment Effective Time”) upon which all of the following conditions shall have been satisfied or waived (the date on which the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Effective Time shall have occurred being referred to herein as the “Amendment Effective Date”):

(e) The Administrative Agent or the Arrangers, as applicable, shall have received all fees and other amounts (which may, at the Administrative Agent’s option in consultation with the Borrower and the Arrangers, be offset against, or paid directly with proceeds of, the Incremental Term Loans made on the Amendment Effective Date) previously agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers, as applicable, and the Borrower to be due and payable on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date, including, to the extent invoiced at least three Business Days prior to the Amendment Effective Date, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) required to be reimbursed or paid by any Loan Party under any Loan Document or any other letter agreement entered into between or among any of such Persons.

(g) Such of the representations and warranties made by the Company in the Merger Agreement with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries as are material to the interests of the Lenders (including the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lenders), but only to the extent that Holdings and/or Holdings’ applicable affiliate has the right to terminate Holdings and/or such affiliate’s obligations under the Merger Agreement, or decline to consummate the Acquisition, as a result of a breach of such representations in the Merger Agreement (to such extent, the “Specified Merger Agreement Representations”) shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment Effective Date.
4
(h) The representations and warranties set forth in each of Section 3.01 (with respect to corporate or other organizational existence of each Loan Party and to power and authority to enter into and perform under this Amendment), Section 3.02 (with respect to authorization, execution, delivery and performance and enforceability of this Amendment), clause (i) of Section 3.03(b) (with respect to the entrance into and performance of this Amendment), Section 3.08 and the second sentence of Section 3.16 of the Credit Agreement and in each of Sections 2.03(f) and Section 3.02(c) of the Collateral Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment Effective Date; provided that (i) any such representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on and as of the Amendment Effective Date, (ii) any reference in such representations or warranties to the “Transactions,” the “Financing Transactions” or the “Third Amendment Transactions” shall be deemed, mutatis mutandis, to also refer to the Transactions, and (iii) any reference in such representations to the “Effective Date” or to the “Third Amendment Effective Date” shall be deemed, mutatis mutandis, to also refer to the Amendment Effective Date.
(i) The representations set forth in Section 6 shall be true and correct in all material respects.
(j) The Acquisition shall have been consummated or, substantially simultaneously with the borrowing of the Incremental Term Loans hereunder, shall be consummated, in all material respects in accordance with the Merger Agreement, after giving effect to any modifications, amendments, consents or waivers not prohibited by this Section 5(j). The Merger Agreement shall not have been amended, waived or modified by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective affiliates in a manner materially adverse to the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lenders or the Arrangers without the consent of the Arrangers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and provided that the Arrangers shall be deemed to have consented to such amendment, waiver or consent unless they object thereto within five Business Days after written notice of such proposed amendment, waiver or consent) (it being understood that (w) any substantive modification, amendment, consent or waiver to the definition of Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall be deemed to be material and adverse to the interests of the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lenders and the Arrangers, (x) the granting of any consent under the Merger Agreement that is not materially adverse to the interests of the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lenders or the Arrangers will not otherwise constitute an amendment, modification or waiver, (y) any increase in the purchase price of the Acquisition will be deemed not to be materially adverse to the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lenders or the Arrangers so long as such increase is funded by cash on hand of Holdings or its Subsidiaries and (z) any reduction in the purchase price of the Acquisition shall not be deemed to be material and adverse to the interests of the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lenders or the Arrangers, so long as such reduction shall be applied first (i) if applicable, to reduce the amount of commitments in respect of the Bridge Facility to $200,000,000 and (ii) after giving effect to the application of clause (i), to reduce the amount of commitments in respect of the Incremental Term Loans).
(k) The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from the chief financial officer of Holdings certifying as to the solvency of Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis after giving effect to the Transactions.
(l) The Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, substantially simultaneously with the consummation of the Acquisition on the Amendment Effective Date, shall be satisfied with respect to the Company and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any Excluded Subsidiaries); provided that, to the extent any security interest in any collateral of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is not or cannot be provided or perfected on the Amendment Effective Date (other than a security interest in any collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial
5
Code or by the delivery of certificated equity securities (and related security powers) of the Company and its material, wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries organized in the United States that are part of the collateral (provided, in each case, that such certificated equity securities will be required to be delivered on the Amendment Effective Date only to the extent received from the Company, it being understood that the Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such certificated equity securities to be delivered by the Company on the Amendment Effective Date) after use of commercially reasonable efforts by the Borrower to do so without undue burden or expense, then the provision and/or perfection of a security interest in such collateral shall not constitute a condition hereunder, but instead shall be required to be provided or perfected after the Amendment Effective Date pursuant to arrangements and timing to be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting reasonably within 90 days following the Amendment Effective Date (or such later date as may be reasonably agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower). Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to guarantees and collateral to be provided by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries (other than an entity organized in the State of Delaware), if such guarantees and collateral cannot be provided as a condition hereunder solely because the existing directors, members, managers or other governing persons of the Company or such Subsidiaries have not authorized the provision of such guarantees and collateral prior to the funding of the Incremental Term Loans hereunder and applicable state law does not permit the “escrowing” of authorizations by the future directors or managers that will become effective at a future date, the representations made and legal opinions given with respect to the due authorization of such guarantees and collateral may be qualified subject to receiving ratifying resolutions authorizing such guarantees and collateral and such ratifying resolutions and duly authorized guarantees and collateral shall be provided no later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the Amendment Effective Date; provided that the failure to provide such guarantees and collateral by such time shall be an immediate event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement.
(m) The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall have received, at least three Business Days (as defined in the Merger Agreement) prior to the Amendment Effective Date, all documentation and other information about the Borrower, Holdings and the other Loan Parties as shall have been reasonably requested in writing at least ten Business Days prior to the Amendment Effective Date by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers that they shall have reasonably determined is required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act.
(n) The Administrative Agent shall have received a Borrowing Request with respect to the Incremental Term Loans not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the Amendment Effective Date and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement.
The Administrative Agent shall notify Holdings, the Borrower and the Lenders of the Amendment Effective Date, and such notice shall be conclusive and binding.
SECTION 6. Additional Representations. Each of Holdings and the Borrower represents and warrants to the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lenders that as of the Amendment Effective Date:

6
including current obligations, beyond their ability to pay such debts as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise) and (iv) Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are “solvent” within the meaning given to that term and similar terms under applicable laws relating to fraudulent transfers and conveyances; provided that the amount of any contingent liability has been computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability;
(b) the Borrower will not (i) knowingly use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans, or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Person subject to economic sanctions administered or enforced by the United States Government (including without limitation, sanctions enforced by the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control) (“Sanctions”) for the purpose of funding the activities of any Person subject to Sanctions in a manner that would result in a violation by such Person of applicable Sanctions, or (ii) use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity on behalf of a government, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in each case in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; and
(c) the Borrower is, both immediately before and after the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Effective Time, in compliance with Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement (solely as it relates to the entering into and performance of this Amendment (including the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loans pursuant hereto)).

The terms and conditions of Sections 9.03(a), (b), (d) and (e) of the Credit Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to each Arranger, in its capacity as such, as if it were the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements arising out of the arrangement and syndication of the Incremental Term Loans; provided that, notwithstanding anything else therein, such expense reimbursement provisions of Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement shall only apply as provided hereinabove if the Incremental Term Loan Amendment Effective Time occurs.

(a) Notice. For purposes of the Credit Agreement, the initial notice address of each Incremental Term Loan Amendment Lender shall be as set forth below its signature below.
7
