WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and certain other parties have entered into that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of March 12, 2012 (as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the “Term Loan Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent desire to amend certain provisions of the Term Loan Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Specific Amendments to Term Loan Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the Term Loan Agreement is amended as follows:
(a) The Term Loan Agreement is amended by restating the definition of “LIBOR” set forth in Section 1.1. thereof in its entirety as follows:
“LIBOR” means, with respect to any LIBOR Loan for any Interest Period, the rate of interest obtained by dividing (i) the rate appearing on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 page (or on any successor or substitute page of such service, or any successor to or substitute for such service, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page, as determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to Dollar deposits in the London interbank market) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the date that is two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period and having a maturity equal to such Interest Period by (ii) a percentage equal to 1 minus the stated maximum rate (stated as a decimal) of all reserves, if any, required to be maintained with respect to Eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities”) as specified in Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined or any applicable category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by an office of any Lender outside of the United States of America). Any change in such maximum rate shall result in a change in LIBOR on the date on which such change in such maximum rate becomes effective.
(b) The Term Loan Agreement is amended by restating Section 9.7.(b) thereof in its entirety as follows:
(b) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary or other Loan Party to, enter into any amendment or modification to any Material Contract which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) The Term Loan Agreement is amended by restating Section 10.1.(l)(i) in its entirety as follows:
(i) Any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that a Person will be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all securities that such Person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), directly or indirectly, of more than 25.0% of the total voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the Borrower;
Section 2. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of each of the following, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:
(a) A counterpart of this Amendment duly executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders holding at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all Lenders;
(b) An Acknowledgment substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, executed by each Guarantor; and
(c) Such other documents, instruments and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
Section 3. Representations. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:
(a) Authorization. The Borrower has the right and power, and has taken all necessary action to authorize it, to execute and deliver this Amendment and to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Term Loan Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, in accordance with their respective terms. This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower and each of this Amendment and the Term Loan Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its respective terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability.
(b) Compliance with Laws, etc. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of this Amendment and the performance by the Borrower of this Amendment and the Term Loan Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, in accordance with their respective terms, do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (i) require any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law (including Environmental Laws) relating to the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the organizational documents of Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound; or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower or any other Loan Party.
(c) No Default. To the knowledge of the Borrower, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof or will exist immediately after giving effect to this Amendment.
Section 4. Reaffirmation of Representations by Borrower. The Borrower hereby repeats and reaffirms all representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents on and as of the date hereof with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties were set forth in this Amendment in full.
Section 5. Certain References. Each reference to the Term Loan Agreement in any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Term Loan Agreement as amended by this Amendment.
Section 6. Expenses. The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment and the other agreements and documents executed and delivered in connection herewith.

Section 9. Effect. Except as expressly herein amended, the terms and conditions of the Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect. The amendments contained herein shall be deemed to have prospective application only from the date as of which this Amendment is dated, unless otherwise specifically stated herein.
Section 10. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns.
