WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower, Holdings, each of the other Loan Parties, the Additional Term Lender and the Administrative Agent wish to effect this Incremental Amendment with respect to the Incremental Request;
WHEREAS, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated is the lead arranger and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are the joint bookrunners for this Incremental Amendment;
NOW, THEREFORE, 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 hereby agree as follows:

Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Rate resulting from a change in the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) of the Credit Agreement; provided that at the option of the Required Facility Lenders in respect of the Dollar Term B-2 Loans, the highest pricing level shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which a Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered but was not delivered, and shall continue to so apply to and including the date on which such Compliance Certificate is so delivered (and thereafter the pricing level otherwise determined in accordance with this definition shall apply).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition or elsewhere in this Agreement, if it is subsequently determined that the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio set forth in any Compliance Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent is inaccurate for any reason and the result thereof is that the Lenders holding Dollar Term B-2 Loans received interest for any period based on an Applicable Rate that is less than that which would have been applicable had the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Rate” for any day occurring within the period covered by such Compliance Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest theretofore paid by the Borrower for the relevant period pursuant to Sections 2.08 of the Credit Agreement as a result of the miscalculation of the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable under the relevant provisions of Section 2.08 of the Credit Agreement at the time the interest or fees for such period were required to be paid pursuant to said Section (and shall remain due and payable until paid in full, together with all amounts owing under Section 2.08 of the Credit Agreement, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

Dollar Term B-2 Lender” means a Lender with a Dollar Term B-2 Loan.
Dollar Term B-2 Loans” means the loans established pursuant to Section 2 of this Incremental Amendment.
Repricing Premium” means, in connection with a Repricing Transaction, a premium (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Dollar Term B-2 Loans to be prepaid or subject to the applicable amendment, as the case may be) equal to the amount set forth below:

2





(a)    on or prior to the six month anniversary of the Second Incremental Amendment Effective Date, 1.0%; and
(b)    thereafter, 0%.
Repricing Transaction” means the prepayment or refinancing of all or a portion of the Dollar Term B-2 Loans with the incurrence by any Loan Party of any long-term bank debt financing or Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred for the primary purpose of reducing the effective interest cost or weighted average yield (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practice and, in any event, excluding any arrangement or commitment fees in connection therewith) to less than the interest rate for or weighted average yield (as determined by the Administrative Agent on the same basis) of the Dollar Term B-2 Loans, including without limitation, as may be effected through any amendment to the Credit Agreement relating to the interest rate for, or weighted average yield of, the Dollar Term B-2 Loans, but which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any prepayment or refinancing in connection with a Change of Control.

Amounts borrowed under this Section 2(b) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
(c)    Pursuant to Section 2.07(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Dollar Term B-2 Lenders (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such day following the Incremental Effective Date, an aggregate principal amount equal to (x) 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Dollar Term B-2 Loans borrowed pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Incremental Amendment on the Second Incremental Amendment Effective Date (as such repayment amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement); provided that at the time of any effectiveness of any Term Loan Extension Amendment with respect the Dollar Term B-2 Loans, the scheduled amortizations with respect to the Dollar Term B-2 Loans set forth above shall be reduced ratably to reflect the percentage of Dollar Term B-2 Loans converted to Extended Term Loans (but will not affect the amount of amortization received by a given Dollar Term B-2 Lender with outstanding
