Existing Term Loan Proposed Extended Term Loan  $1,719 million senior secured term loan (1) Term loan size  Assumed extended term loan size: $1,000 million (or $700 million post pay down)  Minimum extension amount: 50% of total term loan size Key Amendment Terms (1) Term loan balance as of December 31, 2011 Maturity Interest rate Pay down from secured bond issue Amortization  June 2014  June 2017  With springing maturity 90 days before the Senior Notes maturity date  L + 250 bps  L + 525 bps  NA  Extension conditioned on repayment of 30% of extended term loan tranche only  Permit incurrence of new 1st lien bonds to finance the repayment  For the avoidance of doubt, the 1st lien bond proceeds may be used to repay term loans plus deal fees and expenses, not for general corporate purposes  1% p.a. (or $18 million p.a.) paid quarterly  Increase amortization on the extended term loan tranche to 10% p.a. (paid quarterly)  No change to non - extended term loan amortization Amendment fee  NA  5 bps on net amount, paid to consenting lenders Extension fee  NA  20 bps on net amount, paid to extending lenders 34

Key Amendment Terms Future extensions  Ability to do future term loan extensions of the non - extended tranche; full MFN  Ability to do revolver extensions in the future New incremental refinancing facility Future refinancing debt  Ability to incur 1st lien bonds, 2nd lien debt or unsecured debt to repay term loans  New incremental facility to refinance non - extended term loan; 50 bps MFN Proposed Amendment to Existing Credit Facilities Restricted Payments general basket EBITDA definition Designated Assets Sales (non - printed products)  No change – $20 million p.a.  Permit an EBITDA add - back for billed revenue not yet recognized as GAAP revenue. This deferral is primarily a result of the Ven dor Specific Objective Evidence ("VSOE") method for revenue recognition. Revenue for multi - element contracts at certain operations are deferred until VSOE is established. The proposed add - back will modify the credit agreement definition of EBITDA to reflect Cash EBITDA amounts versus GAAP EBITDA  Remove Designated Asset Sale concept; previously Designed Asset Sales were excluded from Asset Sale Sweep if total PF leverage was less than 4.0x Acquisitions  Acquisitions permitted so long as total leverage is less than or equal to 5.25x on a pro forma basis  No incurrence of 1st lien debt to complete acquisitions unless 1st lien leverage is less than or equal to 3.5x on a pro forma ba sis  Third party fairness opinion required for any future related party acquisitions from a provider to be selected by the admin a gen t  Requirement to disclose LTM Revenue and EBITDA for any future acquisition. To be disclosed in the compliance certificate following the closing of the acquisition Restricted Payments to pay expenses at Parent Co.  Capped at $15 million p.a.; previously unlimited ECF definition  Remove ability to deduct from excess cash flow the $15 million restricted payments basket for expenses at Parent Co. Quarterly compliance certificates  Requirement to include EBITDA calculation in the quarterly compliance certificates 35
