the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) herein above, the “Covenant Trigger Date”), then Borrowers shall no longer be required to comply with the Liquidity covenant set forth in this Section 7(c). 







 (b). Schedule 1.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of
“Base Rate Margin” in its entirety and replacing it with the following in lieu thereof: 
 “ “Base Rate
Margin” means, as of any date of determination, the applicable margin set forth in the following table that corresponds to the most recent Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio calculation delivered to Agent pursuant to Section 5.1 of
the Agreement (the “Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio Calculation”); provided, that for the period from the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date through the date Agent receives the Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio Calculation in
respect of the testing period ending September 30, 2015, the Base Rate Margin shall be set at the margin in the row styled “Level II”; provided further, that any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Base Rate Margin shall be set at the margin in the row styled “Level II”:

 Except as set forth in the foregoing proviso, the Base Rate Margin shall be based upon the most recent Adjusted Total Leverage
Ratio Calculation, which will be calculated as of the end of each fiscal quarter. Except as set forth in the foregoing proviso, the Base Rate Margin shall be re-determined quarterly on the first day of the month following the date of delivery to
Agent of the certified calculation of the Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio pursuant to Section 5.1 of this Agreement; provided, that if Borrowers fail to provide such certification when such certification is due, the Base Rate Margin
shall be set at the margin in the row styled “Level II” as of the first day of the month following the date on which the certification was required to be delivered until the date on which such certification is delivered on which date (but
not retroactively), without constituting a waiver of any Default or Event of Default occasioned by the failure to timely deliver such certification, the Base Rate Margin shall be set at the margin based upon the calculations disclosed by such
certification. In the event that the information regarding the Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio contained in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 of this Agreement is shown to be inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected,
would have led to the application of a higher Base Rate Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Base Rate Margin actually applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) Borrowers shall immediately deliver to Agent
a correct certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Base Rate Margin shall be determined as if the correct Base Rate Margin (as set forth in the table above) were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (iii) Borrowers shall
immediately deliver to Agent full payment in respect of the accrued additional interest as a result of such increased Base Rate Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by Agent to the affected Obligations.”

 (g). Exhibit C-1 of
the Term Loan Agreement is hereby replaced with the form attached as “Annex A” hereto. 
 2. Conditions Precedent to
Effectiveness of this Amendment. This Amendment shall not become effective until all of the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied in the sole discretion of Agent or waived by Agent: 

(a) Agent shall have received this Amendment fully executed in a sufficient number of counterparts for distribution to all parties. 

(b) Agent shall have received a fully executed amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Agent and relating to the matters addressed in this Amendment, as applicable. 
 (c) Agent shall have received that certain Amendment
No. 8 Fee Letter dated as of the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date fully executed in a sufficient number of counterparts for distribution to all parties. 

(d) The Borrowers shall have paid all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with this
Amendment or otherwise due and payable pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses of counsel to the Agent. 

(e) The representations and warranties set forth herein and in the Loan Documents (other than any such representations or warranties that, by
their terms, are specifically made as of a date other than the date hereof) must be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any portion of any representation and warranty that is
already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof). 
 (f) Agent shall have received all other documents and legal matters in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Amendment and such documents shall have been delivered or executed or recorded and shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. 

3. Representations and Warranties. Each Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and the Lenders as follows: 

(a) Authority. Each Borrower has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment, and to perform its
obligations hereunder and under the 







 
Loan Documents (as amended or modified hereby) to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of this Amendment have been duly approved by all necessary
corporate action, have received all necessary governmental approval, if any, and do not contravene any law or any contractual restriction binding on any Borrower. No other corporate proceedings are necessary to consummate such transactions. 

(b) Enforceability. This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Borrower. This Amendment and each Loan Document (as
amended or modified hereby) is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower, enforceable against each Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles or by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally, and is in full force and effect. 

(c) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in each Loan Document (other than any such
representations or warranties that, by their terms, are specifically made as of a date other than the date hereof) are true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any portion of any
representation and warranty that is already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date hereof as though made on and as of the date hereof. 

(d) No Default. After giving effect to this Amendment, no event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes a Default or Event of
Default. 
 (e) Taxes. The Loan Parties do not believe that the amendments made pursuant to this Amendment shall be treated as a
“significant modification” of the Term Loan under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1001-3 and as such the Term Loan should still constitute a grandfathered obligation for the purposes of FATCA. From and after the Effective Date, the Loan
Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Agent and Lenders, and hold them harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including taxes and the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
of the foregoing, arising in connection with the Agent’s and Lenders’ treating, for purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, the Term Loan as modified hereby as qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation”

 4. Choice of Law. The validity of this Amendment, the
construction, interpretation, and enforcement hereof, and the rights of the parties hereto with respect to all matters arising hereunder or related hereto shall be determined under, governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York. 
 5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties and separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment
by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. 







 6. Reference to and Effect on the Loan Documents. 

(a) Upon and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Term Loan Agreement to “this Agreement”,
“hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Term Loan Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “the Term Loan Agreement”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to
the Term Loan Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Term Loan Agreement as modified and amended hereby. 
 (b) Except as
specifically set forth in this Amendment, the Term Loan Agreement and all other Loan Documents, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed and shall constitute the legal, valid,
binding and enforceable obligations of each Borrower to Agent and Lenders without defense, offset, claim or contribution. 
 (c) The
execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any
provision of any of the Loan Documents. 
 7. Ratification. Each Borrower hereby restates, ratifies and reaffirms each and every term
and condition set forth in the Term Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, and the Loan Documents effective as of the date hereof. 
 8.
Estoppel. To induce Agent and Lenders to enter into this Amendment, each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, after giving effect to this Amendment, as of the date hereof, there exists no Default or Event of Default and no right of
offset, defense, counterclaim or objection in favor of any Borrower as against Agent or any Lender with respect to the Obligations. 
 9.
Integration. This Amendment, together with the other Loan Documents, incorporates all negotiations of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and is the final expression and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof. 
 10. Severability. In case any provision in this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
such provision shall be severable from the remainder of this Amendment and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

11. Release; Covenant Not to Sue. 

(a) Each of the Borrowers hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Agent and the Lenders, and any and all
participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, insurers, indemnitors, successors and assigns thereof, together with all of the present and former directors, officers, agents and employees of any of the foregoing
(each a “Released Party”), from any and all known claims, demands or causes of action of any kind, nature or description, whether arising in law or equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal law or otherwise,
which such Borrower has had, now has or has made claim to have against any such person for or by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of time to and including the date of








 
this Amendment, whether such claims, demands and causes of action are matured or unmatured; provided that, in each case, the foregoing release shall not apply to claims of fraud or willful
misconduct. Each of the Borrowers understands, acknowledges and agrees that this release may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted,
prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release. 
 (b) Each of the Borrowers, on behalf of itself and its successors,
assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Released Party above that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any
Released Party on the basis of any claim released, remised and discharged by any Borrower pursuant to the above release. If any Borrower or any of its successors, assigns or other legal representations violates the foregoing covenant, each Borrower,
for itself and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Released Party may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by such Released Party as
a result of such violation. 
 12. Submission of Amendment. The submission of this Amendment to the parties or their agents or
attorneys for review or signature does not constitute a commitment by Agent or any Lender to waive any of their respective rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, and this Amendment shall have no binding force or effect until all of the
conditions to the effectiveness of this Amendment have been satisfied as set forth herein.
