(the “Borrower”), the Subsidiaries of the Borrower party hereto, the additional Lenders listed on Schedule 2.01 hereto (the “Incremental Revolving Lenders”) and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

WHEREAS, each Incremental Revolving Lender has agreed to (i) provide such Incremental Revolving Commitments to the Borrower and (ii) make Revolving Loans to the Borrower and participate in Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations from time to time during the Availability Period in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Credit Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof.

WHEREAS, this Incremental Assumption Agreement provides for, with respect to the Incremental Revolving Commitments, an Incremental Facility entered into pursuant to Section 11.01(b) of the Credit Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Incremental Revolving Commitments. (a) Part (a) of Schedule 2.01 hereto sets forth the Incremental Revolving Commitment and Applicable Percentage thereof of each Incremental Revolving Lender as of the Incremental Effective Date (as defined below). The Incremental Revolving Commitment of each Incremental Revolving Lender shall be several and not joint. The Incremental Revolving Commitments will become effective on the Incremental Effective Date.

(b) The provisions of Section 11.01(b) of the Credit Agreement will apply to the Incremental Revolving Commitments. Except for the fees payable hereunder on the Incremental Effective Date to Incremental Revolving Lenders in respect of their Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder shall have the terms applicable to the Original Revolving Commitments in effect prior to the Incremental Effective Date and the Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, respectively (including the Applicable Rate). The loans, commitments and borrowings in respect of the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall constitute Loans, Commitments and Borrowings under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratable from the Guaranty set forth in Article IV of the Credit Agreement and the security interests and Liens created by the Collateral Documents.

(c) On the Incremental Effective Date, each existing Revolving Lender shall assign to each Incremental Revolving Lender holding a Incremental Revolving Commitment, and each such Incremental Revolving Lender shall purchase from each existing Revolving Lender, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans outstanding on such date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans will be held by all the Revolving Lenders (including such Incremental Revolving Lenders) ratably in accordance with their Applicable Percentages after giving effect to the effectiveness of the Incremental Revolving Commitments.

(d) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Incremental Effective Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Revolving Lenders party hereto hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Revolving Commitments as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(e) The fees payable pursuant to Section 2.09(a) of the Credit Agreement for the account of the Lenders shall be calculated so as to take into account the increase in the Revolving Commitments, the addition of the Incremental Revolving Lenders, any prepayments or refinancing of outstanding Loans and the reallocation of participations in any outstanding L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans, in each case on the Incremental Effective Date.

(f) Each Incremental Revolving Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Incremental Assumption Agreement, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or any Lenders prior to the Incremental Effective Date.

(g) The Administrative Agent hereby consents to this Incremental Assumption Agreement for the sole purpose of compliance with Section 11.01(b) of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Incremental Assumption Agreement, the Borrower and each Guarantor party hereto hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each of the Incremental Revolving Lenders that:

(a) each such party has all requisite power and authority to execute and perform its obligations under this Incremental Assumption Agreement;

(b) this Incremental Assumption Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each such party and, upon the Incremental Effective Date, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such party enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law);

(c) the representations and warranties of the Borrower and each Loan Party set forth in this Incremental Assumption Agreement, Article VI of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, if such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality) as of the Incremental Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, if such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality) as of such earlier date; and

(d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the Incremental Effective Date before or after giving effect to the Incremental Revolving Commitments.

SECTION 3. Effectiveness. This Incremental Assumption Agreement shall become effective as of the first date (the “Incremental Effective Date”) on which each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have executed this Incremental Assumption Agreement and shall have received counterparts hereof duly executed and delivered by the Borrower, each Guarantor and each Incremental Revolving Lender.

(ii) A certificate of the secretary or assistant secretary of each Loan Party dated as of the Incremental Effective Date certifying that such Loan Party has not modified its articles of incorporation or bylaws since such documents were last delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if such documents have not previously been delivered or have been so modified, attaching copies of such documents.

(iii) Copies of certificates of good standing, existence or its equivalent with respect to each Loan Party certified as of a recent date by the appropriate Governmental Authorities of the state or other jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.

(viii) The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower as of the Incremental Effective Date, regarding the Solvency of the Consolidated Parties on a consolidated basis after giving effect to the Incremental Revolving Commitments and the other transactions contemplated hereby.
