The commitments of the Additional Term B Lenders and the

continuation undertakings of the Continuing Term B Lenders are several and no such Lender will be responsible for any other such Lender’s failure to make or acquire by continuation its New Term B Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to indemnification, reimbursement of costs and expenses, increased costs and break funding payments shall continue in full force and effect with respect to, and for the benefit of, each Existing Term B Lender in respect of such Lender’s Existing Term B Loans.

E.

F. The final maturity date of the New Term B Loans shall be the Term B Loan Maturity Date.

G. The continuation of Continued Term B Loans may be implemented pursuant to other procedures specified by the Administrative Agent and the Arranger (in consultation with the Borrower), including by repayment of Continued Term B Loans of a Continuing Term B Lender on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date from the proceeds of New Term B Loans followed by a subsequent assignment to it of New Term B Loans in the same amount and each Continuing Term B Lender hereby agrees to execute such other documentation as may be required to evidence such Continuing Term B Lender’s New Term B Loan Commitment.

for the proposed loan(s) is calculated and applied. Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower has knowingly and voluntarily requested and/or accepted a LIBOR pricing proposal from the Administrative Agent, accepting any inherent risks associated with the utilization and any subsequent discontinuance of LIBOR, and hereby waives any claims or defenses against the Administrative Agent in connection therewith.

determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment, or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date, and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto absent manifest error, and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto (except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.9.7) and shall not be a basis of any claim of liability of any kind or nature by any party hereto, all such claims being hereby waived individually by each party hereto.

(d) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke (as applicable) any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBOR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request (as applicable) into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to a loan that shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

G. Officer’s Certificate. The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a financial officer of the Borrower dated the Sixth Amendment Effective Date certifying that (A) the representations and warranties set forth in Section IV of this Amendment shall be true and correct in all respects (or in all material respects if any such representation or warranty is not by its terms already qualified as to materiality) as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date as if made on and as of such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all respects (or in all material respects if any such representation or warranty is not by its terms already qualified as to materiality) as of such earlier date and (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

SECTION IV.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Term B Lenders to enter into this Amendment and to amend the Credit Agreement in the manner provided herein, each of Parent and the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Term B Lender, as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date that, before

and after giving effect to this Amendment, the following statements are true and correct in all material respects:

A. Power; Authorization.

(i) Each Loan Party has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment (the “Amended Agreement”) and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment, the Amended Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party.

(ii) No consent or authorization of, or filing with, any Person (including, without limitation, any Governmental Authority) is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by any Loan Party, or the validity or enforceability in accordance with its terms against any Loan Party, of this Amendment, the Amended Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party except for (i) such consents, authorizations and filings which have been obtained and are in full force and effect, (ii) such consents, authorizations and filings which the failure to obtain or perform, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, (iii) authorizations and filings required by applicable securities laws in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to pledged investment property and (iv) such filings as are necessary to perfect the Liens of the Lenders created pursuant to the Loan Documents.

B. Enforceability. This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Loan Parties and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party, and is enforceable against each Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

C. Incorporation of Representations and Warranties from Credit Agreement. The representations and warranties contained in Section 5 of the Amended Agreement are and will be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date to the same extent as though made on and as of that date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date.

D. Absence of Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result from this Amendment.

E. Beneficial Ownership Certification. The certification regarding beneficial ownership in relation to the Borrower as required by 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230 and delivered pursuant to Section III(H) is true and correct in all respects.


SECTION V.	REAFFIRMATION OF GUARANTEES AND SECURITY INTERESTS

Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges its receipt of a copy of this Amendment and its review of the terms and conditions hereof and hereby confirms and consents to the terms and conditions of this Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the extension of New Term B Loans. In addition, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties (including, without limitation, the New Term B Lenders), each Loan Party hereby (a) affirms and confirms its guarantees, pledges, grants and

other undertakings under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, (b) agrees that (i) each Loan Document to which it is a party shall continue to be in full force and effect and (ii) all guarantees, pledges, grants and other undertakings thereunder shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall accrue to the benefit of the Secured Parties, including the New Term B Lenders, and (c) acknowledges that from and after the date hereof, all New Term B Loans shall be deemed to be Obligations. Nothing herein can or may be construed as a novation of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.


SECTION VI.	RATIFICATION

This Amendment and the Credit Agreement and each amendment, waiver or other modification to the Loan Documents set forth or contemplated herein and therein shall be deemed to be effective pursuant to 2.19.1 of the Credit Agreement.

(ii) Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(v) It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement not constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Credit Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment (i) shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a novation or waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

B. Limitation of Amendment and Waiver. Except as expressly set forth herein, the terms, provisions and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and in all other respects are hereby ratified and confirmed.

E. Severability. Every provision of this Amendment is intended to be severable. If any term or provision of this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired thereby. Any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Amendment in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

F. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

G. Status. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the New Term B Loans constitute “Refinancing Term B Indebtedness” under the Credit Agreement and the refinancing of the Term B Loans as contemplated hereby is permitted under Section 2.19.1 of the Credit Agreement.
