RECITALS

WHEREAS, Holdings, the Borrower and each Lender party hereto desire to amend the Credit Agreement to decrease the interest rate applicable to the Initial Term Loans and to make certain other changes to the Credit Agreement, in each case, as provided herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. AMENDMENTS TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT

1.1 Amendments to Section 1: Definitions and Accounting Terms

A. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding thereto the following new definitions, which definitions shall be inserted in proper alphabetical order:

“Effective Yield” shall mean, as to the Initial Term Loans or any term loans incurred by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with a Repricing Event, the effective yield on such Initial Term Loans or such term loans, as applicable, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower, taking into account the applicable interest rate margins, any interest rate floors or similar devices and all fees, including upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (x) the life of such term loans and (y) the four years following the date of incurrence thereof) payable generally to lenders making such Initial Term Loans or term loans, as applicable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other similar fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant lenders and, if applicable, customary consent fees for an amendment paid generally to consenting lenders.

“First Amendment” shall mean the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2012, among Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent.

“First Amendment Effective Date” shall have the meaning provided in the First Amendment, which date is August 22, 2012.

“Repricing Event” shall mean (i) any prepayment or repayment of Initial Term Loans with the proceeds of, or any conversion of Initial Term Loans into, any new or replacement tranche of term loans incurred by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and which bear interest with an Effective Yield less than the Effective Yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans (but excluding any such term loans incurred in connection with a Change of Control) and (ii) any amendment or other modification or waiver to this Agreement (other than the First Amendment) which effectively reduces the Effective Yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans. Any determination by the Administrative Agent as contemplated by preceding clauses (i) and (ii) shall be conclusive and binding on all Lenders holding Initial Term Loans, absent manifest error.

“(h) At the time of the effectiveness of any Repricing Event that is consummated after August 22, 2012 and prior to August 23, 2013, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with Initial Term Loans that are either repaid, converted or subjected to a pricing reduction in connection with such Repricing Event (including each Lender that withholds its consent to such Repricing Event and is replaced as a Replaced Lender under Section 2.13), a fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of (x) in the case of a Repricing Event described in clause (i) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans prepaid or converted in connection with such Repricing Event and (y) in the case of a Repricing Event described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date that are subject to an effective pricing reduction pursuant to such Repricing Event. Such fees shall be earned, due and payable upon the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Event.”

1.4 Amendments to Section 9: Affirmative Covenants

A. Section 9.09 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to replace the text “then outstanding.” appearing therein with the following text: “outstanding from time to time following the First Amendment Effective Date.”

Section 2. CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS

Section 1 of this First Amendment shall become effective only upon the satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent (the date of satisfaction of such conditions being referred to herein as the “First Amendment Effective Date”):

A. Amendment. Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Required Lenders and each Lender with outstanding Initial Term Loans (including any Replacement Lender) shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered (including by way of facsimile (or other electronic) transmission) their signed counterparts to the Administrative Agent.

B. Amendment Fee. On or prior to the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender with outstanding Initial Term Loans (including any Replacement Lender) that has executed a counterpart to this First Amendment and delivered the same to the Administrative Agent, an amendment fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Initial Term Loans held by each such consenting Lender on the First Amendment Effective Date (such fee, the “Amendment Fee”).

The representations and warranties contained in Section 8 of the Credit Agreement are and will be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the First 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; provided, that, if a representation and warranty is qualified as to materiality, with respect to such representation and warranty the materiality qualifier set forth above shall be disregarded for purposes of this condition.

E. Absence of Default. No event has occurred and is continuing or will result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this First Amendment that would constitute a Default or an Event of Default.

Section 4. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND CONSENT

Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor has read this First Amendment and consents to the terms hereof and hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Guaranty and any Security Document to which it is a party or otherwise bound shall continue in full force and effect and that all of its obligations thereunder shall be valid and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this First Amendment.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) notwithstanding the conditions to effectiveness set forth in this First Amendment, such Subsidiary Guarantor is not required by the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document to consent to the amendments to the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this First Amendment and (ii) nothing in the Credit Agreement, this First Amendment or any other Credit Document shall be deemed to require the consent of any Subsidiary Guarantor to any future amendments to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
