The Term B-3 Lender hereby agrees to make the Term B-3 Loan to the Borrowers in an amount equal to its Term B-3 Commitment on the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date in accordance with Section 2.01(e) of the Credit Agreement.

The Term B-3 Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, and has received or has been accorded the opportunity to receive copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and (b) thereof, as applicable, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into


this Agreement; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Amendment No. 6 Lead Arrangers or any other Lender or Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

Upon (i) the execution of a counterpart of this Agreement by the Term B-3 Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower and (ii) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a fully executed counterpart (including by way of telecopy or other electronic transmission) hereof, the Term B-3 Lender shall become a Lender under the Credit Agreement and shall have the respective Term B-3 Commitment set forth on its signature page hereto, effective as of the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date.

Delivered herewith to the Administrative Agent or the Parent Borrower, as applicable, are such forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the Term B-3 Lender may be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Parent Borrower, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement.

For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Term B-3 Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to treat) the Term B-3 Loan as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed and delivered on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

As of the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date, this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

This Agreement 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 Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
