A. The Co-Borrowers have requested (i) that the Persons set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Additional Lenders”) provide additional Commitments (the “Additional Commitments”) to the Co-Borrowers in an aggregate amount of $100,000,000 and (ii) that the Credit Agreement be amended as set forth herein.

B. The Additional Lenders are willing to provide the Additional Commitments to the Co-Borrowers, and the Requisite Lenders are willing so to amend the Credit Agreement, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement.

Accordingly, 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. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. The rules of interpretation set forth in Section 1.2A of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 2. Additional Commitments. (a) Schedule 1 hereto sets forth the Additional Commitment of each Additional Lender as of the Assumption Effective Date (as defined below). The Additional Commitment of each Additional Lender shall be several and not joint.

(b) The Additional Commitments and the Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder shall have the same terms as those applicable to the Commitments and the Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, respectively. With effect from the Assumption Effective Date, the Additional Lenders shall constitute “Qualified Additional Lenders”, “Revolving Loan Lenders” and “Lenders”, the Additional Commitments shall constitute “Commitments” and the loans made thereunder shall constitute “Revolving Loans” (and not Other Credit Extensions), in each case for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) (i) Upon the effectiveness of the Additional Commitments, each Revolving Loan Lender immediately prior to such effectiveness will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Additional Lender, and each such Additional Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Loan Lender’s participations under the Credit Agreement in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (x) participations under the Credit Agreement in Letters of Credit and (y) participations under the Credit Agreement in Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Loan Lender (including each such Additional Lender) will equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Share and (ii) if, on the Assumption Effective Date, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall, upon the effectiveness of the Additional Commitments, be prepaid from the proceeds of new Revolving Loans made under the Credit Agreement, which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Revolving Loan Lender in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The Co-Borrowers hereby agree to pay to each Additional Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an upfront fee (the “Upfront Fee”) equal to 1.0% of each Additional Lender’s Additional Commitment, as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto, on the Assumption Effective Date. Once paid, the Upfront Fee shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(e) No later than 60 days following the Assumption Effective Date, Holdings, U.S. Holdings, Canada Holdings, Canada Intermediate Holdings, U.S. FinCo or the Co-Borrowers, as applicable (the “Delivering Parties”), shall provide to the Administrative Agent such documentation, if any, regarding the flood hazard status of the improved Mortgaged Properties as is required to be delivered to the Lenders under applicable Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency) regulations as agreed by the parties; provided that, if the Delivering Parties commence compiling such documentation within such 60-day period, such period shall be extended by such additional period of time as is reasonably necessary in order to compile, prepare and deliver such documentation using reasonable diligence.

SECTION 3. Amendments. Effective as of the Assumption Effective Date, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(b) By amending and restating the third sentence of Section 2.1B thereof in its entirety as follows:

“The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the proposed Funding Date; provided that, in the case of any such Loan requested as a Fixed Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall deliver such Notice of Borrowing no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time), at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date.”

“Availability Amount” means (a) at any time prior to April 15, 2013, an amount equal to 33.0% multiplied by the Adjusted Aggregate Mortgaged Property Amount at such time and (b) at any time on or after April 15, 2013, an amount equal to the greater of (x) 22.2% multiplied by the Aggregate Mortgaged Property Amount at such time and (y) 25.0% multiplied by the Adjusted Aggregate Mortgaged Property Amount at such time.

SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Agreement, each of Holdings, U.S. Holdings, Canada Holdings, Canada Intermediate Holdings, U.S. FinCo and the Co-Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each of the other parties hereto that, as of the date hereof and the Assumption Effective Date:
