this Agreement that results in the reduction of the All-In Yield applicable to

the amount of the 2017 Incremental Term Commitment of such Lender, provided
that, there may only be one Borrowing Date for the 2017 Incremental Term Loan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and any remaining 2017 Incremental Term Commitment that is not borrowed shall

2017 Incremental Term Commitment make the 2017 Incremental Term Loans on the
Seventh Amendment Effective Date.  Upon receipt of such Borrowing Notice, which
notice shall be irrevocable, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Term Loan Lender with a 2017 Incremental Term Commitment thereof.  Not later
than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Seventh Amendment Effective Date,
each Term Loan Lender with a 2017 Incremental Term Commitment shall make
available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in
immediately available funds equal to the 2017 Incremental Term Loan to be made
