alphabetical order:

“Excluded Rate Contract Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any
guarantee of any obligations under a Hedge Agreement otherwise constituting
Obligations hereunder (“Swap Obligations”) if, and only to the extent that and
for so long as, all or a portion of the guarantee of such Guarantor of, or the
grant by such Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligations
under a Hedge Agreement (or any guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under
the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any
thereof) by virtue of such Guarantor’s failure for any reason to constitute an
“eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act at the
time the guarantee of such Guarantor or the grant of such security interest
becomes effective with respect to Swap Obligations under a Hedge Agreement;
provided, however, that if any Guarantor that was not an “eligible contract
participant” at the time any such guarantee of a Swap Obligation under a Hedge
Agreement was entered into thereafter becomes an “eligible contract
participant,” such Guarantor shall, by virtue of any applicable Guaranty or
joinder thereto and without any further action by any Person, be deemed to have
guaranteed the Swap Obligations under Hedge Agreements and granted a security
interest to secure such Swap Obligations under Hedge Agreements, and such Swap
Obligations under Hedge Agreements shall no longer constitute Excluded Rate
Contract Obligations with respect to such Guarantor. If a Swap Obligation under
a Hedge Agreement arises under a master agreement governing more than one swap,
such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation under a
Hedge Agreement that is attributable to swaps for which such guarantee or
security interest is or becomes illegal.

“FATCA” means Sections 1471, 1472, 1473 and 1474 of the IRC, as of the date of

with respect thereto, and any agreements entered into pursuant to
Section 1471(b)(1) of the IRC.

“Third Amendment” means that certain Third Amendment to Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement dated as of May 28, 2014 by and among the Borrowers, the other
Credit Parties, Agent and the Lenders.

clause (a) therein in its entirety to read as follows:

of the terms of (i) any mortgage, deed of trust, material lease, material
agreement, indenture, material contract or other material instrument to which
any Credit Party is a party or which is binding upon it, (ii) any law or
regulation or order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority applicable
