to convert (the “Replacement B Term Loan Conversion”), on the Third Amendment
Effective Date, all Initial B Term Loans of such Consenting Initial B Term
Lender outstanding on the Third Amendment Effective Date (immediately prior to
giving effect thereto) into new term loans hereunder owing by the Borrower (each
such term loan, a “Converted Replacement B Term Loan” and, collectively, the
“Converted Replacement B Term Loans”) and (II) each Lender with a Replacement B
Term Commitment severally agrees to make, on the Third Amendment Effective Date,
a term loan or term loans (each, an “Additional Replacement B Term Loan” and,

provided that (x) all Replacement B Term Loans made as part of the

 

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

same Borrowing shall, unless specifically provided herein, consist of
Replacement B Term Loans of the same Type and (y) Borrowings of Replacement B
Term Loans on the Third Amendment Effective Date shall be subject to the rules
set forth in clause (B) of this Section 1.01(g) below, and (ii) shall not exceed
for any Lender, in aggregate initial principal amount, that amount which equals
the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Initial B Term Loans, if

(immediately prior to giving effect thereto) as set forth on Annex I hereto
under the heading “Converted Replacement B Term Loans” and (y) the Replacement B
Term Commitment of such Lender (if any) as in effect on the Third Amendment
Effective Date (before giving effect to any reductions thereto on such date

reborrowed.

(B)(i)         Each Borrowing of Initial B Term Loans existing on the Third
Amendment Effective Date immediately prior to the Replacement B Term Loan
Conversion and maintained as Eurodollar Loans (each, an “Existing Initial B Term
Loan Borrowing”) shall, upon the occurrence of the Replacement B Term Loan
Conversion, be deemed to be a new Borrowing of Replacement B Term Loans for all
purposes of this Agreement, (ii) each such newly-deemed Borrowing of Replacement
B Term Loans shall be subject to the same Interest Period (and Eurodollar Rate)
as the Existing Initial B Term Loan Borrowing to which it relates (as if no new
Borrowing had in fact occurred), (iii) Additional Replacement B Term Loans shall
be initially incurred pursuant to a single Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans which
shall be added to (and thereafter be deemed to constitute a part of) each such
newly-deemed Borrowing of Replacement B Term Loans described in preceding
subclause (i) on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various
such newly-deemed Borrowings of Replacement B Term Loans) and (iv) in connection
with the Replacement B Term Loan Conversion and the incurrence of Additional
Replacement B Term Loans pursuant to Section 1.01(g)(A), the Administrative
Agent shall (and is hereby authorized to) take all appropriate actions to ensure

to the Replacement B Term Loan Conversion and the incurrence of Additional
Replacement B Term Loans pursuant to Section 1.01(g)(A)) participate in each
newly-deemed Borrowing of Replacement B Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based
upon their respective Replacement B Term Loan Borrowing Amounts as in effect on
the Third Amendment Effective Date).

(C)             In connection with the Replacement B Term Loan Conversion and
the incurrence of Additional Replacement B Term Loans pursuant to Section
1.01(g)(A), the Lenders and the Borrower hereby agree that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but without duplication,
(i) the Borrower shall pay each Lender making Additional Replacement B Term
Loans which “match funds”, upon its written request (which request shall set
forth the basis for requesting such compensation and reasonably detailed
calculations thereof), such amount as is necessary to compensate such Lender for
its losses resulting from the making of such Additional Replacement B Term Loans
in the middle of an existing Interest Period (rather than at the beginning of
the respective Interest Period, based upon the rates then applicable thereto)
and (ii) the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the respective Lenders any
breakage or other costs

Term Note will be issued at the Borrower’s expense to such Replacement B Term
Lender, to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.05 (with
appropriate modification) to the extent needed to reflect the Replacement B Term
Loans made (or to be made) by such Replacement B Term Lender. Each such
Replacement B Term Lender with an outstanding B Term Note which requests a new B
Term Note as contemplated by this clause (D) agrees to either return the
outstanding B Term Note held by it to the Borrower for cancellation or deliver a
customary lost note affidavit with respect thereto.”.
