On the Extension Agreement and Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (as defined below), each Submitting Lender hereby agrees that (i) the aggregate principal amount of its 2013 Term Loans set forth on such Submitting Lender’s signature page hereto shall automatically (and without any further action on the part of any party to this Extension Agreement and Amendment or the Credit Agreement) be exchanged into and reclassified to become a 0000 Xxxxxxx X Term Loan to the Borrower of an equal principal amount and denominated in Dollars (but subject to the Borrower’s right, pursuant to Section 1(c) of this Extension Agreement and Amendment, to accept less than the full amount offered for exchange by each Submitting Lender, in which case such lesser amount shall be exchanged into 2016 Tranche B Term Loans), and (ii) the remainder (if any) of its 2013 Term Loans will, after giving effect to this Extension Agreement and Amendment, remain outstanding as 2013 Term Loans on the same terms as in existence prior to the Extension Agreement and Amendment No. 1 Effective Date. On the Extension Agreement and Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, after giving effect to this Extension Agreement and Amendment, the aggregate principal amount of 0000 Xxxxxxx X Term Loans and the aggregate principal amount of 2013 Term Loans shall be set forth on Schedule I hereto.

(c) At any time prior to the Extension Agreement and Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Borrower shall have the right (x) to withdraw and terminate its Extension Request

-2-

with respect to this Extension Agreement and Amendment, (y) to reduce the aggregate principal amount of 2013 Term Loans that it seeks to exchange into 2016 Tranche B Term Loans hereunder or (z) to accept less than the full amount of 2013 Term Loans offered by each Submitting Lender for exchange into 2016 Tranche B Term Loans, in each case in its sole and absolute discretion and without penalty; provided that, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Submitting Lender prior to the Extension Agreement and Amendment No. 1 Effective Date of the amount of 2016 Tranche B Term Loans to be held by such Submitting Lender (which amount will not exceed the principal amount of 2013 Term Loans set forth on its signature page hereto).

(d) All accrued and unpaid amounts (including interest) owing by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement with respect to any 2013 Term Loan (or portion thereof, if applicable) exchanged to a 0000 Xxxxxxx X Term Loan to but not including the Extension Agreement and Amendment No. 1 Effective Date shall automatically convert to an equal amount of equivalent accrued and unpaid obligations owing with respect to the 0000 Xxxxxxx X Term Loan into which such 2013 Term Loan (or portion thereof, if applicable) was exchanged and shall be payable at the same times as such amounts would have been payable with respect to such exchanged 2013 Term Loan (or portion thereof, if applicable) if such conversion had not occurred; provided that, such accrued and unpaid amounts (including interest) shall not be capitalized into principal of the 0000 Xxxxxxx X Term Loans nor shall any interest accrue thereon.

(e) On and after the Extension Agreement and Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, interest shall accrue on the 0000 Xxxxxxx X Term Loans at the rate provided for in the Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Extension Agreement and Amendment. Each 0000 Xxxxxxx X Term Loan (or portion thereof, if applicable) that was exchanged from any 2013 Term Loan (or portion thereof, if applicable) that was a LIBOR Term Loan immediately prior to such conversion shall initially be deemed to be a Borrowing of a 0000 Xxxxxxx X Term Loan that is a LIBOR Term Loan with an initial Interest Period equal to the remaining duration (as of the Extension Agreement and Amendment No. 1 Effective Date) of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing of a 2013 Term Loan; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that in no event shall any conversion or extension of any Loan, or any other transaction specifically contemplated by this Extension Agreement and Amendment, constitute a repayment, conversion or other event with respect to such Loan that would result in the application or operation of the provisions of Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement.

(f) Except as expressly provided in this Extension Agreement and Amendment or in the Credit Agreement (after giving effect to this Extension Agreement and Amendment and to any subsequent amendment or other modification to the Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms), the terms of the 0000 Xxxxxxx X Term Loans shall be identical to those applicable to the 2013 Term Loans.

(g) Each 0000 Xxxxxxx X Term Lender party hereto agrees and acknowledges that the New Term Loan created pursuant to the 0000 Xxxxxxx X Incremental Joinder shall be deemed 0000 Xxxxxxx X Term Loans for all purposes under the Credit Agreement.
