(other than the Parent’s) obligations as a primary obligor into a guarantor, as applicable, automatically upon the consummation
of the Merger and the execution, delivery and effectiveness of the Assumption and Exchange Agreement (as defined below), which,

release by the holders of Notes, will be released and discharged as a primary obligor under and in respect of, the Bank Credit
Agreement; (ii) no Default or Event of Default exists or will exist immediately following such release and discharge; (iii) if

consideration on a pro rata basis (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this condition shall not apply to customary
and usual fees paid in connection with the termination and replacement of the Bank Credit Agreement and out-of-pocket expenses,
including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith); and (iv) at the time of the consummation of the Merger,
the Company delivers to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying the matters set forth in clauses (i)

Merger Agreement, (y) the Merger and the other Merger Transactions have been consummated in accordance with the terms of the
Merger Agreement and in compliance with applicable law and regulatory approvals, and (z)  the Merger Transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement shall have been consummated on or prior to October 18, 2016, and (B) the holders shall have received

to be a Subsidiary Guarantor (as such term is defined in the amended Agreement set forth in Exhibit 10.4), and (B) this Agreement
shall be amended in the form set forth in Exhibit 10.4, in each case, without further action on the part of the Obligors and the
undersigned holders, provided that, with respect to clause (B), the amended Agreement is in the form and substance set forth

such Indebtedness, in connection with the Merger or the execution and delivery of an assumption or similar agreement by the Parent,
other than the repayment of all or a portion of such Indebtedness, the holders of the Notes shall receive equivalent consideration
(provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this condition shall not apply to customary and usual fees paid in connection
with the termination and replacement of the Bank Credit Agreement and out-of-pocket expenses, including attorneys’ fees,
incurred in connection therewith).
