 The parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 Definitions 
 SECTION 1.01. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below: 
 “ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. 
 “Additional 2003 Senior Subordinated Notes” means any additional 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 issued by the Borrower

 “Additional 2002 Senior Subordinated Notes” means any additional 10.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 issued by the
Borrower pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 4.03(e) of the indenture under which the 2002 Senior Subordinated Notes are outstanding (without giving effect to any amendment or modification thereof after the date of the Fifth
Amendment). 
 “Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest
rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/100 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate. 
 “Administrative Agent” means JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder, and any
successor in such capacity.

any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus  1/2 of 1% and (c) the LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%, provided that, for the
avoidance of doubt, the LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the rate appearing on the Reuters Screen LIBOR 01 Page (or on any successor or substitute page of such page) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day; provided
that the Alternate Base Rate shall not at any time be less than 4.50% per annum. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or such LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including

shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on the Restatement Effective Date. The balance of the Amendment Fee payable to each Consenting Lender shall be fully earned as of the Restatement Effective Date, shall not be

and including the date that is the twelve month anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date up to the date that is the twenty-four month anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date, with respect to any prepayment in the principal amount of the
Term Loan during such period, an amount equal to the product of (x) 2.00%, times (y) the amount of such prepayment on such date; (c) during the period of time from and including the date that is the twenty-four month
anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date up to the date that is the thirty-six month anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date, with respect to any prepayment in the principal amount of the Term Loan during such period, an amount

 “Capital
Expenditures” means, for any period, without duplication, (a) the additions to property, plant and equipment and other capital expenditures of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries that are (or would be) set forth in a

 “Consolidated EBITDA” means, for any period, Consolidated Net Income for such period (adjusted to exclude any extraordinary losses,
charges or gains and to exclude any gain or loss recognized in connection with the sale of any assets outside the ordinary course of business), plus, without duplication and to the extent deducted in determining Consolidated Net Income, the
sum of (a) the aggregate amount of interest expense for such period, (b) the aggregate amount of income tax expense for such period, (c) all amounts attributable to depreciation, amortization (including such amortization associated
with capitalized or short term display rack costs) and other noncash charges (excluding any such charge that (i) consists of or requires an accrual of, or cash reserve for, any anticipated cash charges for any prior or in any future period or
(ii) consists of a writedown or writeoff of any current assets) for such period, including the amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing charges, (d) payments made by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such period
pursuant to profit sharing plans provided that such payments are discretionary under the terms of such plan, (e) non-recurring cash expenses or charges deducted in determining Consolidated Net Income for such period, to the extent
attributable to (i) fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of Permitted Senior Unsecured Debt that constitutes a Prepayment Event or (ii) severance payments not exceeding $3,000,000 in the aggregate under this clause
(e)(ii), (f) non-recurring expenses or charges paid to the extent deducted in determining Consolidated Net Income for such period in each case to the extent in respect of (i) professional fees and expenses which are paid in such period and
set forth on Schedule 1.02 hereto, (ii) other professional fees and expenses for all periods, not exceeding $2,000,000 in the aggregate, incurred and paid at any time prior to June 30, 2009 in connection with the Restatement Transactions
but not set forth on Schedule 1.02 or (iii) the cash portion of any fees paid during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 to the Lenders in connection with the Restatement Transactions, and (g) other non-recurring cash expenses or
charges deducted in determining Consolidated Net Income for such period not to exceed $1,250,000 in the aggregate for such period (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may not include any charges or expenses of the type incurred pursuant to (e)(ii) or
(f) above); provided, however, that no more than $250,000 in professional fees or expenses (but only to the extent deducted from Consolidated Net Income) may be added to Consolidated EBITDA to the extent incurred in connection with any
events (including any negotiations, litigation, etc.) arising in connection with any obligations the Loan Parties may have to issue Indebtedness in connection with Section 4.03(e)(ii) of the indenture governing the 2002 Senior Subordinated
Notes or 








 
Section 4.03(e)(ii) of the indenture governing the 2003 Senior Subordinated Notes. For purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA for any period (each,
a “Reference Period”) in connection with a determination of the Leverage Ratio or the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for such period, if during such Reference Period (or, in the case of pro forma calculations, during the period from
the last day of such Reference Period to and including the date as of which such calculation is made) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made a Material Disposition, Consolidated EBITDA for such Reference Period shall be calculated
after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Material Disposition occurred on the first day of such Reference Period (with the Reference Period for the purposes of pro forma calculations being the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal
quarters for which the relevant financial information is available); provided that such pro forma calculations shall give effect to operating expense reductions and other cost savings only to the extent that such reductions and savings are
approved by the Administrative Agent and realization thereof is reasonably expected by the Borrower to be achieved within six months after such Material Disposition (for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this sentence shall not apply to
Permitted Acquisitions, and any EBITDA generated by Persons acquired through Permitted Acquisitions shall (x) only be added to Consolidated EBITDA to the extent generated by such Persons after the date such Person becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary, and (y) not be added to Consolidated EBITDA to the extent generated by such Persons at any time prior to the date such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary). As used in this definition, “Material Disposition” means any
disposition of property or series of related dispositions of property that involves assets comprising all or substantially all of an operating unit of a business or constitutes all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of a Restricted
Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining Consolidated EBITDA for any period that includes any fiscal quarter ended on a date set forth below (including, without limitation, for the purposes of Sections 6.12, 6.13,
and 6.14), Consolidated EBITDA for such fiscal quarter shall mean the amount set forth below corresponding to such fiscal quarter:

	 September 30, 2008
	  	$	35,877,000

 “Consolidated Interest Expense” means, for any period, the sum of
(a) interest expense (including the interest component in respect of Capital Lease Obligations) of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries during such period, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude
(i) the amortization of debt discounts, deferred financing charges, any interest paid by adding such interest to principal, and other non-cash interest expenses and (ii) tender premiums and other costs associated with the refinancing of
debt, and (b) the amount of any 








 
Restricted Payments made by the Borrower to Holdings pursuant to Section 6.08(a)(viii) during such period; provided that (i) the issuance of
any Additional 2002 Senior Subordinated Notes or any Additional 2003 Senior Subordinated Notes shall not be included in the determination of Consolidated Interest Expense for any period and (ii) any cash interest paid with respect to any
Additional 2002 Senior Subordinated Notes or any Additional 2003 Senior Subordinated Notes shall be included in the determination of Consolidated Interest Expense for such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining
Consolidated Interest Expense for any period that includes any fiscal quarter ended on a date set forth below (including, without limitation, for the purposes of Section 6.14), Consolidated Interest Expense for such fiscal quarter shall
mean the amount set forth below corresponding to such fiscal quarter: 
  

				
	 Fiscal Quarter End
	  	Consolidated Interest
Expense
	 March 31, 2008
	  	$	24,444,000

 ARTICLE II 
 The Credits 
 SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
each Lender agrees (a) to make Term Loans to the Borrower on the Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to its Term Commitment, and (b) to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving
Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed. 
 SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender
shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Revolving
Borrowing and Term Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith; provided that all Borrowings made on the Effective Date must be made as ABR Borrowings. Each
Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan so long as n o increased costs are incurred as contemplated by
Section 2.15; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple
of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that an ABR
Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Revolving Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Each
Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is not less than $100,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten Eurodollar Borrowings
of any Class outstanding. 







 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request,
or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Maturity Date or Term Maturity Date, as applicable. 
 SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone
(a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New

given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of
a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

 (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; 
 (iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by
the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and 
 (v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to
which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06. 
 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified,
then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

 SECTION 2.04. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make
Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans
exceeding $10,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total 








 
Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to
refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. 
 (b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative
Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the
Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of
such Swingline Loan. 
 (c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New
York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which
Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.
Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline
Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply
with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by
the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly 








 
remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the
Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower
of any default in the payment thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Revolving Lender shall not have any obligation to acquire a participation in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time such Swingline Loan was made and such Lender shall have notified the Swingline Lender in writing, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Swingline Loan was made, that such Event of Default has occurred and that such
Lender will not acquire participations in Swingline Loans made while such Event of Default is continuing. 
 SECTION 2.05. Letters of
Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other
agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment,
renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and
specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit,
the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit
application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter
of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $15,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not
exceed the total Revolving Commitments. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of 








 
such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five
Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date. 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank,
a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date
due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this
paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to
such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date the Borrower has received notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to
borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation
to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC
Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable
Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the
Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing
Bank as their interests 








 
may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding
of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in
any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to
make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or
relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the
foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted
by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto
expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such
determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit,
the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon
such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g) Disbursement Procedures.
The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the 








 
Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an
LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC
Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply.
Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing
Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank
may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank.
At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement,
(i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank”
shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain
a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of
Credit. 
 (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower
receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash
collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date
plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any
kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Each such deposit shall be held by the 








 
Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall
have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the
Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative
Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or,
if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three
Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
 SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender
shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such
purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like
funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. 
 (b) Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has
not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 







 SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing initially
shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Subject to Section 2.13, thereafter, the
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options
with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) To make an election
pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the
Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a
written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. 
 (c) Each telephonic and
written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be
specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the
effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii)
whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is
a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one month’s duration. 







 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise
each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a
timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or
continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall automatically be converted to an ABR Borrowing (and the Borrower shall pay any costs associated therewith). 
 SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term Commitments shall terminate at
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date and (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date. 
 (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000
and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the
Revolving Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments. 
 (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election
to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly
following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the
Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior
to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance
with their respective Revolving Commitments. 
 SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as 








 
provided in Section 2.10 and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the Revolving Maturity Date;
provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested. 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender
resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the
amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each
Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section
shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any
manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) Any Lender may request
that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such
Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be
represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 SECTION 2.10. Amortization of Term Loans. (a) Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower shall repay
Term Borrowings (i) on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year prior to the Term Maturity Date, commencing on June 30, 2008, in an aggregate principal amount equal to $1,125,000, and
(ii) on the Term Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to all Term Loans outstanding on such date. 
 (b) To the extent
not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Maturity Date. 
 (c) Any prepayment of a Term Borrowing shall be
applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Borrowings to be made pursuant to this Section in the chronological order of maturity thereof. 







 (d) Prior to any repayment of any Term Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or
Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each
repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid. 
 SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole
or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section. 
 (b) In the event and on such occasion that the sum of the Revolving Exposures
exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 
 (c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are
received by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such
Net Proceeds; provided that (i) in the case of any Net Proceeds received, in an aggregate amount since the Restatement Effective Date of less than $5,000,000, in respect of any event described in clause (b) of the definition of the
term Prepayment Event, if the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries intend to apply such Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion
thereof specified in such certificate), within 180 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to repair or replace the assets that have suffered from such event described in clause (b) of the definition of Prepayment Event, and certifying that no
Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable)
except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of such 180 day period, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied; (ii) in
the case of any event described in clause (a) of the definition of “Prepayment Event” (other than dispositions by an Unrestricted Subsidiary), if, after giving effect to such Prepayment Event, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio
(calculated giving pro-forma effect to such Prepayment Event) is less than 3.00 to 1.00, the Borrower may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent, not to make all or a portion of the prepayment that otherwise would be required in respect of
such Prepayment Event, provided that the Borrower may not elect to not make a prepayment under this clause (c)(ii) to the extent that the aggregate amount of all prepayments that are not made by reason of (1) such election, (2) prior
elections pursuant to this clause (c)(ii) and (3) the operation of clause (a)(iii) of the definition of “Prepayment Event”, would exceed $25,000,000 on a cumulative basis; (iii)








 
in the case of any event described in clause (d) of the definition of “Prepayment Event”, in the event and on each occasion that any Net
Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower, or any Subsidiary in respect of such Prepayment Event after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay
Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to 75% of such Net Proceeds; and (iv) in the case of any event described in clause (a) of the definition of “Prepayment Event” with regard to an Unrestricted Subsidiary, no prepayment
shall be required under this Section 2.11(c) if and to the extent that (A) such prepayment would be prohibited or restricted by, or would constitute a violation under any applicable law, rule or regulation, or (B) such prepayment or
the obligation to make such prepayment would reasonably be expected to subject the Borrower or such Unrestricted Subsidiary to increased tax liability. 
 (d) Following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower commencing with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, the Borrower shall prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to 75% of Excess Cash Flow
for such fiscal year; provided that (i) if Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year exceeds $27,500,000, then, for the purposes of calculating the amount of the prepayment of Term Borrowings required by this paragraph for such fiscal year,
the amount of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year shall be deemed reduced by (x) the amount of Deferred Fees paid in cash at or prior to the time that the prepayment of Term Loans is made hereunder and (y) the amount of cash interest
payments made to holders of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness of Existing Subordinated Debt solely as a result of the PIK Toggle Feature at or prior to the time that the prepayment of Term Loans is made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any
prepayment required pursuant to this Section 2.11(d) in respect of any fiscal year shall be reduced by the amount of any optional prepayment of Term Borrowings made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) during such fiscal year or thereafter but
prior to any mandatory prepayment required to be made under this Section 2.11(d) in respect of such fiscal year (other than any such prepayment which reduced any required mandatory prepayment under this Section in respect of the prior fiscal
year) and (iii) solely with respect to the prepayment payable hereunder in respect of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, such payment shall not be required in an amount exceeding the excess of (A) the sum of the Borrower’s
consolidated cash and Permitted Investments plus the unused amount of the Revolving Commitments, as of the date that payment is due, minus (B) $20,000,000. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made on or before the date on which
financial statements are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated (and in any event within 90 days after the end of such fiscal year). 
 (e) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall
specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section. 
 (f) The Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by 








 
telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of any Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan or an optional prepayment of an ABR
Borrowing), not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of an optional prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before
the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal
amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection
with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be
permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the
Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. 
 (g) All prepayments of Term Loans effected on or prior to the date that is 18 months following the Restatement Completion Date with the proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance or incurrence of new secured credit facilities the
primary purpose of which is to refinance Indebtedness hereunder at an interest rate spread more favorable to the Borrower, shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of such prepayments. All prepayments of Term
Loans effected on or prior to the date that is thirty-six months following the Restatement Effective Date (other than prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11(d)) shall be accompanied by the Applicable Prepayment Premium. 
 SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee,
which shall accrue at the rate of (x) 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Restatement Effective Date,
and (y) 1.00% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment
terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the
Effective Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees with
respect to Revolving 








 
Commitments, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender
(and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose). 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate as interest on Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily
amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate per annum separately agreed between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank
on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the
Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings
thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to
occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on
demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of
commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus the 








 
Applicable Rate. The Deferred Fees shall bear interest, from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date paid in full, at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period then in effect plus the Applicable Rate that would apply to a Eurodollar Loan. For the purposes of the foregoing, the interest rate on Deferred Fees shall be determined in the same manner as for a
Eurodollar Loan with a three-month Interest Period commencing on the Restatement Effective Date, continued at the end of each Interest Period for successive Interest Periods of three months’ duration until paid in full. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, (x) any principal of or interest on any Loan or any
fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided
in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; and (y) all Loans comprising Eurodollar
Borrowings shall automatically convert to ABR Borrowings (and the Borrower shall pay any costs associated therewith), and the Lenders shall no longer have an obligation to fund Eurodollar Borrowings until such Event of Default is cured or waived in
accordance herewith. 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan and Deferred Fee shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such
Loan or Deferred Fee and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event
of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period) or Deferred Fee, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the
date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such
conversion; provided further that on each Interest Payment Date in respect of Deferred Fees such accrued and unpaid interest will not be paid in cash but will be added to principal and shall be considered part of the Deferred Fees for all purposes
thereafter, including accruing interest on the Deferred Fees. 
 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in
each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or 







 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing
as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the
Issuing Bank; or 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting
this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be
to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any
Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued
by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding 








 
company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any
Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default),
(b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any notice
delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(f) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar
Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event
not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or
continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at
the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to
this Section shall be 








 
delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the
Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or
Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the
Issuing Bank, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by
or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as 








 
will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Foreign Lender has received written notice from the
Borrower advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction and containing all applicable documentation. 
 (f) If the
Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that
the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount refunded to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent
or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender (i) to make available its
tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person or (ii) to determine whether it is entitled to apply for, or to apply for, a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes.

 SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to
be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required
hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts
received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the
Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17
and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account
of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day,
and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars. 







 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay
fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall
be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall
apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of
set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder
that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the
amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed 








 
to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) Prior to an Event of Default, if any Lender
shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any
amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its
obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or if any Lender fails to approve any proposed amendment, modification or waiver that has otherwise been approved by the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense (including any processing and
recordation fee) and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an
amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees (including any applicable prepayment fee) and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from
the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) in the case of any such 








 
assignment resulting from a Lender’s failure to approve any proposed amendment, modification or waiver, such assignee shall consent to such amendment,
modification or waiver. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and
delegation cease to apply. 
 SECTION 2.20. [Intentionally omitted] 
 SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) if any Swingline
Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall (i) within five Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent prepay such Swingline Exposure or, if agreed by the Swingline
Lender, within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize the Swingline Exposure of the Defaulting Lender on terms satisfactory to the Swingline Lender and (ii) within one Business Day following notice by
the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; and 
 (b) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or
increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(a). 
 SECTION 2.22. Deferred Fees. The Deferred Fees shall be fully earned on the Restatement Effective Date, shall be an Obligation, and shall accrue interest as provided in Section 2.13 until the date set forth in the next sentence.
The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Persons entitled thereto (a) the Revolving Deferred Fees (including all accrued interest thereon) in cash on the Revolving Maturity Date (or any such earlier date as the
Revolving Commitments terminate), and (b) the Term Loan Deferred Fee (including all accrued interest thereon) in cash on the Term Maturity Date (or any such earlier date as the Term Loans are repaid in full); provided that all Deferred
Fees (including all accrued interest thereon) shall be due and payable in cash at the time that any prepayment of Term Loans is required pursuant to Section 2.11(d) in respect of any fiscal year in which Excess Cash Flow exceeds $27,500,000.

be), enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether

creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except Liens created under the Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders’ equity
and cash flows (i) as of and for the fiscal

Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above,
and, in each case, subject to any changes that may result from the Financial Restatement (provided that any such changes comply with the Financial Restatement Conditions). 
 (b) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to above or the notes thereto or in the Information Memorandum and except for the Disclosed
Matters, none of Holdings, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries has, as of the Restatement Effective Date, any material contingent liabilities, unusual long-term commitments or unrealized losses. 
 (c) Since March 31, 2008, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of
Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Each of Holdings, the Borrower
and its Restricted Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to their business (including its Mortgaged Properties), taken as a whole, except for minor defects in title that do not

 (b)
Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to their business, taken as a whole, and the use thereof by
Holdings, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. Schedule 3.05(b) sets forth a complete list of all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property owned by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date that has been duly registered
in, filed in or issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office or any other appropriate office.

pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting any Mortgaged Property or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.05(d), 








 
none of the Mortgaged Properties or any interest therein is subject to any right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to purchase any such
Mortgaged Property or interest therein. 
 SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or
proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened against or affecting Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) that could reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions or Restatement Transactions. 
 (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither Holdings, the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required
under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim asserting that Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to redress any Environmental
Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability that Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is reasonably likely to become obligated to redress. 
 (c) Since the Effective Date, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or
materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of
Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property,

SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. Neither Holdings, the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as
defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Each of Holdings, the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) any Taxes that are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. 







 SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when
taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based
on the assumptions to fund such Plan) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount which, if required to be paid, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions to fund such Plan) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting
such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount which, if required to be paid, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which
Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to any of them, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Information Memorandum
nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any of the documents or agreements in connection with the Restatement Transactions, or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished, taken as a whole) contains any material
misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information,
Holdings and the Borrower represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time; provided further that the Financial Restatement shall be deemed not to violate the
foregoing so long as the Financial Restatement complies with the Financial Restatement Conditions. 
 SECTION 3.12. Subsidiaries.
Holdings does not have any subsidiaries other than the Borrower and the Borrower’s Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.12 sets forth the name of, and the ownership interest of the Borrower in, each Subsidiary of the Borrower and identifies each
Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Loan Party, in each case as of the Restatement Effective Date. As of the Restatement Effective Date, all Subsidiaries are Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION 3.13. Insurance. Schedule 3.13 sets forth a description of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of the Restatement Effective Date. As of the Restatement Effective Date, all premiums in respect of such insurance have been paid in accordance with the applicable policy. Holdings and the Borrower believe that the insurance
maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is adequate. 







 SECTION 3.14. Labor Matters. As of the Restatement Effective Date, there are no strikes, lockouts
or slowdowns against Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries have not
been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters, except for such violations that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and
welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of Holdings, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, except for such payments which, if not paid or accrued, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the Restatement Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining
agreement to which Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound, except for such rights of termination or renegotiation, which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 SECTION 3.15. Solvency. Immediately (x) following the making of each Loan made on the Effective Date and after giving effect
to the application of the proceeds of such Loans, and (y) following the Restatement Transactions and after giving effect thereto, (a) the fair value of the assets of each Loan Party, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan Party will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) each Loan Party will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities
become absolute and matured; and (d) each Loan Party will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Effective
Date. 
 SECTION 3.16. Senior Indebtedness. The Obligations constitute “Senior Indebtedness” under and as defined in any
indenture under which any Subordinated Debt was or is issued. 
 SECTION 3.17. Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement). 
 (b) When the portion of the Collateral constituting certificated securities (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) is
delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected first priority 








 
Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the pledgor thereunder in such Collateral, in each case prior and superior in right to
any other Person. When financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 6 to the Perfection Certificate, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest
in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in such Collateral (other than the Intellectual Property (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement)), to the extent such security interests can be perfected by the filing of
financing statements, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect to Liens expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. When control agreements are entered into with the
financial institutions specified on Schedule 13 to the Perfection Certificate, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in
all deposit accounts, securities accounts, and Collateral contained in such accounts, and any other Collateral as set forth in such control agreement, to the extent such security interests can be perfected by the entering into of such control
agreements, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect to Liens expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. 
 (c) When the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, a supplement thereto or other appropriate notice is filed in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office and the United States Copyright Office, the security interest created thereunder shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Intellectual Property (as defined
in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a security agreement, financing statement or analogous document in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the
United States Copyright Office, as applicable, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect to the rights of Persons pursuant to Liens expressly permitted by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (it being
understood that subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a lien on registered trademarks, trademark applications and copyrights acquired by the Loan
Parties after the Effective Date. 
 (d) Each Mortgage is effective to create, subject to the exceptions listed in each title insurance
policy covering such Mortgage, in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property
thereunder and the proceeds thereof, and when such Mortgage is filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.17(d), such Mortgage shall constitute a Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such
Mortgaged Property and the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect to the rights of Persons pursuant to Liens expressly permitted by such Mortgage.

of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities
provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative
Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After









 
the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the
other parties hereto. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may also be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved
by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it
is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant
to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement

 SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Except as permitted pursuant to an Incremental Amendment, neither this Agreement nor any other
Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the
case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest
thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder (including the prepayment fee provided for in Section 








 
2.11(g)), without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) except as set forth in clause (iv) below, postpone the maturity of any
Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.10, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce
the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) waive, amend or modify the 2002 Senior Notes Refinancing
Condition or the 2003 Senior Notes Refinancing Condition without the written consent of (A) in the case of any such waiver, amendment or modification affecting the Revolving Maturity Date, Lenders having Revolving Commitments representing more
than 66  2/3% of the sum of the total Revolving Commitments at the time or (B) in the case of any such waiver, amendment or
modification affecting the Term Maturity Date, Lenders having Term Loans representing more than 66  2/3% of the sum of the
outstanding Term Loans at the time; (v) change Section 2.10(d) or 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the ratable provisions or pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender,
(vi) change any of the provisions of this Section (except pursuant to an Incremental Amendment) or the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case
may be), (vii) release all or substantially all of the Guarantees made by Holdings and the Subsidiary Loan Parties under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (except as expressly provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), or limit
their liability in respect of all or substantially all of such Guarantees, without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written
consent of each Lender, or (ix) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any
other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class; provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify
or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and
(B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Revolving Lenders (but not the Term Lenders) or the Term Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders) may be
effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an
agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) if (i) by the terms of such agreement the
Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time 








 
such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by
it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage
Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment
thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent (and, if requested by the Required
Lenders, one counsel (and if appropriate, one local counsel) for such Lenders), the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this
Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each
such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the
parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including
any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged
presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee. 







 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such
Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or
related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such; provided further that any indemnification of the Issuing Bank or
Swingline Lender shall be limited to Revolving Lenders only. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused
Commitments at the time. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall assert, and each hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of
Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon
any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this
Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for (1) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate
of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) (as to the Borrower) or (i) (as to the Borrower) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee or (2) an assignment of
any Term Loans so long as notice of such assignment is provided to the Borrower; 







 (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall
be required for (1) an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (2) an assignment of all or any portion of a Revolving Loan or a Revolving Commitment to an assignee that
is a Revolving Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment; and 
 (C) the Issuing Bank, provided that no
consent of the Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of the Term Loans. 
 (ii) Assignments
shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment or, if no effective date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to
the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x) $5,000,000, in the case of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and (y) $1,000,000, in the case of Term Loans, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is
continuing; 
 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of
Commitments or Loans; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and 







 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following
meaning: 
 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or
investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or
manages a Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC
Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v)
Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of 








 
this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall
retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent
of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion
of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 







 SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan
Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or
any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections
2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent
and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy (or any other means of electronic transmission) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.08. Right of
Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time 








 
held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of
each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 
 (b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of
the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such
New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against Holdings, the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each
of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably
consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE 








 
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED
TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 9.11. Headings.
Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

 SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ and its Approved Funds’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and
other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), or to any direct or indirect contractual
counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.12), (b) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any

of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information
(i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Holdings or the
Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Holdings or the Borrower relating to Holdings or the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to
have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 







 SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any
time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the
“Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all
Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall
be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
 SECTION 9.14. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby
notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. 
 SECTION 9.15. Determination of Fiscal Periods. Any references in this Agreement to any fiscal period ending
March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31 of any year shall be deemed to refer to the fiscal period ending on or about such date. Any references in this Agreement to any fiscal period commencing
April 1, July 1, October 1 or January 1 of any year shall be deemed to refer to the first day of the fiscal period immediately following the fiscal period ending on or about
March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31 of any such year. 
 SECTION 9.16. Amendment and
Restatement. On the date that the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received from each of Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders either (i) a counterpart of this Agreement signed on behalf of such party or
(ii) written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include telecopy or other electronic transmission of a signed signature page of this Agreement) that such party has signed a counterpart of this Agreement, the following
provisions of this Agreement shall become effective and enforceable (and all other provisions of this Agreement shall not be effective or enforceable): (x) the definition of the term “Restatement Effective Date” in Section 1.01
(and the parties will act in good faith to determine whether the conditions set forth in the definition of “Restatement Effective Date” have been satisfied); (y) Sections 9.09, 9.10 and 9.11 and (z) this Section 9.16 (and
any defined terms used directly or indirectly in the definition of “Restatement Effective Date”, and referenced Sections 9.09, 9.10, 9.11 and this Section 9.16). 







 On the Restatement Effective Date, the Current Credit Agreement will be automatically amended and
restated in its entirety to read in full as set forth herein, and all of the provisions of this Agreement which were previously not effective or enforceable shall become effective and enforceable. On and after the Restatement Effective Date, the
rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by the Current Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by this Agreement, provided that the rights and obligations of the parties hereto with respect to the period prior to the
Restatement Effective Date shall be governed by the provisions of the Current Credit Agreement. Once the Restatement Effective Date has occurred, all references to the Current Credit Agreement in any document, instrument, agreement or writing shall
be deemed to refer to the Current Credit Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement, and provided further, however, that the rights and obligations of the parties hereto with respect to Net Proceeds received by or on behalf of Holdings, the
Borrower, or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (a) of the definition of “Prepayment Event” occurring prior to the Restatement Effective Date (as such clause was in effect prior to the Restatement
Effective Date) shall also with respect to the period after the Restatement Effective Date be governed by the provisions of the Current Credit Agreement. Effective as of the Restatement Effective Date, the Lenders waive any Default under the Current
Credit Agreement resulting from the EMP Merger, if any. On or prior to the Restatement Effective Date, each Consenting Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an executed counterpart of the release (in the form attached as Exhibit C, the
“Release”) for the Administrative Agent to hold in escrow; upon receipt of any Affirming Party’s (as defined in the Release) affirmation letter (the form of which is attached to Exhibit C) in form and substance satisfactory to
the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall release such signature pages to such Affirming Party granting them the Release. 
 Other
than as specifically provided herein, this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver or amendment of any right, power or privilege of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Current Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (as defined in
the Current Credit Agreement) or of any other term or condition of the Current Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall the entering into of this Agreement preclude the Administrative Agent and /or any Lender from refusing to enter
into any further waivers or amendments with respect thereto. This Agreement is not intended by any of the parties hereto to be interpreted as a course of dealing which would in any way impair the rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender except as expressly stated herein, and no Lender shall have any obligation to extend credit to the Borrower other than pursuant to the strict terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as amended, modified or supplemented to date
(including by means of this Agreement). 
 SECTION 9.17. Reaffirmation of Loan Documents. The Borrower and each Loan Party reaffirms
as of Restatement Effective Date its covenants and agreements contained in each Loan Document (as defined in the Current Credit Agreement) to which it is a party. The Borrower further confirms that each such document to which it is a party is and
shall continue to be in full force and effect and the same are hereby ratified, approved and confirmed in all respects, except as such documents may be modified by this Agreement.

 AMERICAN MEDIA OPERATIONS, INC. 
 AMERICAN MEDIA, INC. 
 RESTRUCTURING SUMMARY TERM SHEET 
 JANUARY 28, 2009 
 THIS TERM SHEET DOES NOT CONSTITUTE (NOR SHALL IT BE CONSTRUED AS) AN OFFER WITH RESPECT TO ANY SECURITIES OR A
SOLICITATION OF ACCEPTANCES OR REJECTIONS AS TO ANY PLAN OF REORGANIZATION, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT SUCH AN OFFERING, IF ANY, ONLY WILL BE MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF SECURITIES AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS. THIS TERM SHEET
DOES NOT ADDRESS ALL MATERIAL TERMS THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY POTENTIAL FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING, IS NOT A BINDING OBLIGATION OF ANY PERSON, AND ANY DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE EXECUTION OF DEFINITIVE DOCUMENTATION IN
FORM AND SUBSTANCE CONSISTENT WITH THIS TERM SHEET AND OTHERWISE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE PARENT, THE COMPANY, THE COMMITTEE AND THE OTHER HOLDERS. THIS TERM SHEET HAS BEEN PRODUCED FOR DISCUSSION AND SETTLEMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND IS SUBJECT TO
THE PROVISIONS OF RULE 408 OF THE FEDERAL RULES OF EVIDENCE AND OTHER SIMILAR APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL RULES. THIS TERM SHEET IS CONFIDENTIAL AND SHALL NOT BE SHARED WITH ANY PARTY OTHER THAN THE PARENT, THE COMPANY, THE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE, THE OTHER HOLDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS UNDER THE COMPANY’S CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS, WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE PARENT, THE COMPANY, THE COMMITTEE AND
THE OTHER HOLDERS. 
 This term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) sets forth the principal terms of a proposed financial restructuring (the
“Restructuring”) regarding American Media Operations, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, and American Media, Inc. (the “Parent”), a Delaware corporation, and certain
of their subsidiaries (with the Company and Parent, the “Companies”), being discussed by the Company, the Parent, an ad hoc committee (the “Committee”) composed of certain unaffiliated holders of the
2009 Notes (as defined below) and, with respect to certain members, the 2011 Notes (as defined below), and certain other unaffiliated holders (the “Other Holders”) of the 2009 Notes and 2011 Notes. 
  

			
	Structure of the Transaction	  	This Term Sheet sets forth the outline of the Restructuring through a proposed tender offer for the Notes and related concurrent offering of new securities (the “Exchange
Offer”) conditioned on the Company obtaining certain amendments to the Company’s existing Credit Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2006 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), as provided in
“Proposed Bank Amendment” below, in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable securities and other laws (the “Transactions”):

  

 2 









			
		  	 1.      On the Effective Date (as defined below), holders (the
“Exchanging Noteholders”) of the Company’s 10 1/4% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (as
amended, the “2009 Notes”) and 8 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (as amended, the
“2011 Notes” and, together with the 2009 Notes, the “Notes”) will exchange their Notes for a pro rata share of (i) the New Senior Subordinated Notes (defined below) and (ii) 1 share of the New
Common Stock (defined below) per $1.00 principal amount of Notes tendered representing, in the aggregate, 95% of all New Common Stock outstanding on the Effective Date (subject to adjustment). Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the
Exchanging Noteholders shall not receive the November 2008 (in the case of the 2009 Notes) and the January 2009 (in the case of the 2011 Notes) interest payments due under the respective indentures governing the Notes.
  
 2.      The Exchange Offer
will be effected as a tender offer and related concurrent offering, pursuant to which the Company will make a tender offer for the Notes, and each tendering holder will be required to purchase its pro rata share of the New Senior Subordinated
Notes and the New Common Stock (and, with respect to tendered 2009 Notes, the New Senior Unsecured Notes), the proceeds of which will be used to consummate the tender offer.
  
 3.      On the Effective Date,
all existing preferred stock, options and warrants issued by, and other equity interests in (other than common stock), the Parent will be cancelled and extinguished and all existing common stock in the Parent will represent 5% (subject to
adjustment) of the common stock of the Parent outstanding on the Effective Date. Also on the Effective Date, the holders of the Parent’s existing common stock (the “Existing Equityholders”) shall receive their pro
rata share of the New Warrants (as defined below).
  
 4.      The Exchange Offer shall include exit consents to strip substantially all of the negative covenants and certain other provisions from the indentures governing any Notes not tendered into the Exchange
Offer and such other changes as the parties hereto determine are desirable. The holders of non-tendered 2009 Notes shall receive their pro rata share of the November 2008 interest payment in cash on the Effective Date and future interest
payments in cash when due through maturity of the 2009 Notes. The holders of non-tendered 2011 Notes shall receive their pro rata share of the January 2009 interest payment in cash on the Effective Date and future interest payments in cash
when due through the maturity of the 2011 Notes.

	New Securities	  	The instruments of the Transactions are as follows:
		
		  	New Senior Subordinated Notes
		
		  	On the Effective Date, the Company shall issue new senior subordinated notes (the “New Senior Subordinated Notes”) having a total principal amount of $300 million,
which amount will not be reduced, even if less than 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes have been exchanged in the Exchange Offer (in such a case, the principal amount of the New Senior Subordinated Notes distributed to each
Exchanging Noteholder shall be increased on a pro rata basis). A summary of certain terms of the New Senior Subordinated Notes is set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The holders of the New Senior Subordinated Notes shall be granted demand registration
rights, as determined by the Committee and the Other Holders.
		
		  	New Common Stock
		
		  	On the Effective Date, the Parent shall have one class of common stock (the “New Common Stock”). Each share of New Common Stock will entitle its holder to a pro
rata share of any dividends that are legally declared by the Parent’s board of directors. The New Common Stock shall be the sole class of stock of the Parent.
		
		  	New Senior Unsecured Notes
		
		  	On the Effective Date, each Exchanging Noteholder shall receive with respect to its tendered 2009 Notes, its pro rata (based upon the principal amount of its 2009 Notes) share of new senior
unsecured notes (the “New Senior Unsecured Notes”; together with the New Senior Subordinated Notes, the “New Notes”). A summary of certain terms of the New Senior Unsecured Notes is set forth in
Exhibit B hereto. The holders of the New Senior Unsecured Notes shall be granted demand registration rights, as determined by the Committee and the Other Holders.
		
		  	New Warrants
		
		  	On the Effective Date, the Parent shall issue to the Existing Equityholders penny warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase shares of New Common Stock. The New
Warrants will be structured to provide the Existing Equityholders with the opportunity to participate in 20% of the total equity value of the Parent (on a consolidated basis) in excess of a certain minimum threshold.
		
	Proposed Bank Amendment	  	The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to seek an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Bank Amendment”) from the agent and the Required Lenders (as
defined therein). The Bank Amendment launched by the Company shall be in the form and substance approved by the Committee and the Other Holders on December 22, 2008.

  

 4 









			
		  	No modifications to the Bank Amendment (other than non-material modifications) shall be permitted without the consent of the Committee and the Other Holders.
		
		  	Except as otherwise agreed by the Committee and the Other Holders, the Exchange Offer will not be launched unless and until the Bank Amendment has been approved by the requisite lenders
thereto.
		
		  	Except pursuant to the terms of the Bank Amendment, or as otherwise agreed by the Committee and the Other Holders, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged through the
Effective Date (other than with respect to non-material modifications) and the Bank Amendment shall not be effective until the Restatement Effective Date (as defined in the Bank Amendment).
		
		  	The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to seek an amendment to the Bank Amendment from the agent and the Required Lenders, in form and substance acceptable to the Committee and the
Other Holders, to conform Schedule 1.03 to the Bank Amendment to the Term Sheet to the extent necessary to allow the consummation of the Restructuring.
		
	Stockholders Agreement	  	The Exchanging Noteholders and the Existing Equityholders will be parties to a new stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”). The Stockholders Agreement
shall contain customary rights, including, without limitation, preemptive rights, board voting rights, transfer restrictions, registration rights, blocking rights, drag rights (including, without limitation, the right to force the holders of the New
Warrants, subject to the following paragraph, to sell such warrants for an amount equal to the net amount that such holders would receive upon exercise and sale of the New Common Stock and to vote in favor of and/or consent to an asset sale), tag
rights and rights to receive information at the stockholders’ option. The Stockholders Agreement will include a covenant (reasonably acceptable to the Existing Equityholders) for the Parent and the Company to maintain D&O insurance coverage
not less favorable, in any material respect, to the directors than their current D&O insurance.
		
		  	Without the consent of the Existing Equityholders, the Parent, the Company and/or the other holders of the New Common Stock may not during the Consent Period (as defined below), directly or
indirectly, enter into an agreement to sell the Parent or the Company, enter into a merger agreement with respect thereto or enter into an agreement to

  

 5 









			
		  	sell or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the Parent’s or the Company’s respective assets. “Consent Period” shall
mean the period starting on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is twelve months after the Effective Date.
		
	Effective Date	  	The “Effective Date” shall be the date on which the Exchange Offer is completed and the Transactions are consummated. The new securities will be distributed on the
Effective Date.
		
	Exchange/Consent Threshold	  	As a condition to the Effective Date, the 2002 Senior Notes Refinancing Condition and the 2003 Senior Notes Refinancing Condition (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) must be
satisfied.
		
	Definitive Documentation	  	The Company, the Parent, the Existing Equityholders, the Committee and the Other Holders shall, in good faith, negotiate definitive documentation concerning the Transactions that is
consistent with the terms set forth in this Term Sheet and the Exchange Offer documentation (the “Definitive Documentation”). With respect to issues materially affecting any Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that
are not otherwise contemplated by this Term Sheet, the Definitive Documentation shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders.
		
	Appointment of Initial Directors	  	The post-Effective Date boards of directors of the Company and the Parent (the “Post-Effective Date Boards”) shall be composed of five members, four of whom shall be
selected by the Committee and the Other Holders and one of whom shall be the Post-Effective Date Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Parent. The Post-Effective Date Boards shall take office on the Effective Date. The size of the
Post-Effective Boards may be increased after the Effective Date. The Company and Parent may enter into director indemnity agreements with these directors, in form reasonably acceptable to the members of the Post-Effective Date
Boards.
		
	MAC Condition to the Effective Date	  	It shall be a condition to the Exchange Offer (such condition to be for the sole benefit of, and may be waived by, the Committee and the Other Holders and not any other party) that no changes
(or effects), individually or in the aggregate, shall have occurred that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the

  

 6 









			
		  	condition (financial or otherwise) of the Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’, taken as a whole, properties, assets, liabilities, rights, obligations, operations, business, or prospects
(any such changes or effects, a “MAC”); provided, however, that none of the following shall constitute a MAC: (a) changes generally affecting (1) the industries in which the Parent and its Subsidiaries operate, or (2)
the economy or the credit, debt, financial or capital markets, in each case, in the United States, including changes in interest or exchange rates, (b) the negotiation, execution, announcement or performance of the Restructuring or the consummation
of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the impact thereof on relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors and partners, (c) acts of war, sabotage or terrorism, or any escalation or worsening of any such acts of war, sabotage or
terrorism and (d) earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados or other natural disasters, except in the cases of clauses (a), (c) or (d) to the extent that such adverse changes disproportionately have a greater adverse impact on Parent and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, as compared to the adverse impact such changes have on the Parent’s competitors.
		
	Releases	  	To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Companies, Existing Equityholders, equity sponsors under the management agreements with THL Managers V, LLC and Evercore Advisors L.P. and each
creditor of any of the Companies which directly or indirectly participates in the Exchange Offer, including, without limitation, creditors participating via an attorney, agent, indenture trustee or securities intermediary, effective upon the
Effective Date, agrees and shall be deemed to forever release, waive and discharge all claims, demands, causes of action and the like, relating to the Companies or their direct or indirect subsidiaries, whether direct or derivative, liquidated or

Parties”); provided, however, such releases shall be subject to a limited carve-out solely for criminal acts and fraud (the “Release Carve-Out”); provided, further, however, that to the extent any
releasor above does not provide the release herein to a releasee named above, that non-releasing party shall not receive a release from such omitted releasee. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing releases shall (i) include releases of
any claims, demands, causes of action and the like, in each case, solely to the extent these arise from or relate to acts or omissions occurring after the Effective Date or (ii) release any claims of EMP Group L.L.C., THL Managers V, LLC, Great-West

stockholder(s) agreement, side letters or otherwise. Each Consenting Lender (as defined in the Bank Amendment) shall agree to grant certain releases pursuant to Section 9.16 of the Bank Amendment.
		
		  	Further, as part of the Releases (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not relate to or affect any Lender), all rights or causes of action to recover (i) payments prior to the
Effective Date of management fees and expenses paid to THL Managers V, LLC, Evercore Advisors L.P. or their respective affiliates that have been disclosed publicly or to Akin Gump or (ii) any payments made prior to the consummation of the
Exchange Offer for equity repurchases from present or former employees that have been disclosed to Akin Gump shall be released, waived and discharged by the Exchanging Noteholders tendering their Notes provided that such rights and causes of action
with respect to any such payments shall not be subject to the Release Carve-Out. In addition to the foregoing, (i) each former (as of the date of the launch of the Exchange Offer (the “Launch Date”)) director and/or
officer, in order for such director or officer to receive the benefit of the Releases and the benefit of the waiver, following the Effective Date, of section 12 of the existing D&O insurance policy issued in the name of EMP Group LLC, must
execute a release (which release shall be effective as of the Effective Date) subject to a limited carve-out for criminal acts

  

 8 









			
		  	and fraud, within 30 days of the Effective Date, of any right to seek indemnification from the Company, the Parent and their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries (whether or not any
indemnification claims have accrued) and (ii) each current (as of the Launch Date) director and/or officer, in order for such director or officer to receive the benefit of the Releases and the benefit of the waiver, following the Effective Date, of
section 12 of the existing D&O insurance policy issued in the name of EMP Group LLC, must execute a release, subject to a limited carve-out for criminal acts and fraud, no later than the Effective Date (which release shall be effective as of the
Effective Date) of any right to seek indemnification from the Company, the Parent and their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries (whether or not any indemnification claims have accrued); provided, that the failure of any director and/or
officer to execute such a release shall not in any way affect (x) the right of each other director or officer who executes such a release to receive the Releases and the protections granted under any maintenance, extension, modification or
replacement of the D&O policies, or (y) protections under the existing D&O policies (as of the Launch Date) from which any director or officer would otherwise be entitled to benefit.
		
	Maintenance of D+O Coverage	  	The Companies agree (a) to maintain the form of the existing D&O policies issued in the name of EMP Group, LLC (“EMP”), without modification, for all former and current
directors and officers of EMP and the Companies and to obtain either (i) an acknowledgement from the primary and excess insurers that the exchange transaction is not a change of control as defined under Section 12 of the existing primary policy or
(ii) a waiver of such Section 12 by the primary and excess insurers such that the policies continue to operate in full force and effect until the end of the current policy period, or (b) the Companies shall put in place a post-exchange primary
policy (with follow-form excess policies) that (i) includes all former directors and officers of EMP or the Companies as insureds under the policy, (ii) does not contain a prior acts exclusion, and (iii) provides coverage for former directors and
officers of EMP and the Companies that is no less favorable than coverage provided for then-current directors and officers of the Companies. Whether under provisions (a) or (b) above, the maintained policies shall (a) be renewed annually for a
period of six years following the Effective Date, and (b) maintain coverage with aggregate policy limits of not less than $60 million. To the extent necessary to continue the coverage for former and current directors and officers of EMP and the
Companies under the existing policies, the Companies and the parties shall take any steps necessary or desirable to affect changes to the named insured while also maintaining coverage consistent with the terms of this paragraph for current and
former officers and directors of EMP. The Companies may modify the foregoing coverage with the prior written consent of each of (i) THL Managers V, LLC and (ii) Evercore Advisors L.P.

 EXHIBIT A 
 New Senior Subordinated Notes 
 The following are certain material terms of the New Senior Subordinated Notes:

 Issuer: The Company. 
 Amount: The New Senior
Subordinated Notes shall have an aggregate issue price equal to $300 million. 
 Maturity: November 1, 2013. 
 Interest: Interest on the New Senior Subordinated Notes shall be payable semiannually in arrears on each May 1 and November 1, beginning with the first
such date after the Effective Date, and will accrue at a rate of 14.0% per annum (with (i) 10.0% per annum payable in cash, (ii) 2.0% per annum payable, at the Company’s option, either in cash or by the issuance of
additional New Senior Subordinated Notes and (iii) 2.0% per annum payable (x) in cash when the Company’s Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Bank Amendment as in effect on the Effective Date) for the most recently completed
fiscal year ended prior to an interest payment date is greater than $27.5 million and (y) at the Company’s option, either in cash or by the issuance of additional New Senior Subordinated Notes when the Company’s Excess Cash Flow for
the most recently completed fiscal year ended prior to an interest payment date is less than or equal to $27.5 million). On the Effective Date, the Bank Amendment will not permit the payment of cash interest (i) at a rate in excess of
10.0% per annum when the Company’s Excess Cash Flow for the most recently completed fiscal year ended prior to an interest payment date is less than or equal to $27.5 million and (ii) at a rate in excess of 12.0% per annum when
the Company’s Excess Cash Flow for the most recently completed fiscal year ended prior to an interest payment date is greater than $27.5 million. 
 Interest Modification: Prior to registration of the New Senior Subordinated Notes and qualification of the indenture governing the New Senior Subordinated Notes under the Trust Indenture Act, holders of not less than 75% of the
outstanding principal amount of the New Senior Subordinated Notes may, at any time and from time to time, consent on behalf of all holders to waive, defer or postpone any interest payment or elect to receive such interest payment in the form of
additional New Senior Subordinated Notes. During any such deferral or postponement period, the deferred or postponed interest (and all interest thereon) shall bear interest at 14% per annum (or such other lesser rate, if any, as shall be
approved by the holders approving such deferral or postponement). Such deferred or postponed interest and all interest thereon shall be due in cash at the end of the deferral or postponement period, with the payment of such cash interest subject to
the limitations set forth in the Bank Amendment. 
 If the New Senior Subordinated Notes are registered and the indenture governing the New Senior
Subordinated Notes is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, at any time thereafter, holders of not less than 75% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding New Senior Subordinated Notes may, at any time and from time to time, consent on
behalf of all holders to the postponement of any interest payment for a period not exceeding three years from its due date. 

  

 A-1 








 
During any such postponement period, the postponed interest (and all interest thereon) shall bear interest at the rate of 14% per annum (or such lesser
rate, if any, as shall be approved by the holders who approve such postponement). Such postponed interest and all interest thereon shall be due in cash at the end of the postponement period, with the payment of such cash interest subject to the
limitations set forth in the Bank Amendment. 
 Voting: Prior to qualification of the indenture for the New Senior Subordinated Notes under the Trust
Indenture Act, the indenture shall expressly provide that New Senior Subordinated Notes owned by holders that directly or indirectly control, or are controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with, the Company will not be disregarded
for purposes of the voting with respect to amendments, waivers, directions and consents. 
 If the indenture governing the New Senior Subordinated Notes is
qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, the New Senior Subordinated Notes owned by holders that directly or indirectly control, or are controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with, the Company will be thereafter disregarded for
purposes of the voting with respect to amendments, waivers, directions and consents. 
 Guarantees: The New Senior Subordinated Notes shall be
guaranteed by (i) each of the existing guarantors of the 2009 Notes and 2011 Notes as of the Effective Date and, in any event, all of the Company’s domestic restricted subsidiaries, and (ii) any other guarantor of the Credit Agreement

 Re: Affirmation Letter Agreement

 Reference is hereby made to that certain term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”). Capitalized
terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Term Sheet. 
 This Affirmation is being made to the
Administrative Agent for the Credit Agreement, and is intended for the benefit of, and can be relied upon by, the Administrative Agent and each Lender that consents to the Bank Amendment (a “Consenting Lender”), and may be enforced
by each Consenting Lender in accordance with the terms hereto and applicable law. 
 In connection with the Bank Amendment of American Media,
Inc. (“AMI”, and with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), it is contemplated that any Consenting Lender shall agree to release certain parties (the “Affirming Parties”) in the form of the release to
which this Affirmation Letter forms an Exhibit (the “Release”). In connection therewith, the undersigned Affirming Party, severally and not jointly nor jointly and severally with any other person or entity, hereby represents to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Consenting Lender, the following: 
 (a) In the past 24 months, it has not (x) received any
payments whatsoever from the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than (i) payments of management fees and expenses not in excess of $3,000,000 in the aggregate for all Affirming Parties; and (ii) if the Affirming Party is a director,
officer or employee of AMI or any of its subsidiaries, (x) payments of salaries, directors’ fees, reimbursements, health benefits, insurance or non-cash fringe benefits, or payments under any contractual tax “gross-up” or similar
provision in each case, reported on IRS Forms W-2 or 1099, all as set forth on Schedule A, and (y) payments or benefits not in excess of those set forth on Schedule B, or (y) engaged in any other transaction with the Company or any of its

 (b) As of the date hereof, it is unaware of any actions that it has taken that would form the basis for a
meritorious cause of action by any creditor of the Company or by the Company itself against the undersigned Affirming Party. 
 In addition,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Affirming Party agrees and shall be deemed to forever release, waive and discharge all claims, demands, causes of action and the like, relating to the Company, whether direct or derivative, liquidated
or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, disputed or undisputed, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, then existing or thereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise against each Consenting Lender and the Administrative
Agent and each of their respective directors, officers, partners, members, representatives, employees, professional advisors, sub-advisors, managers, and managing and executive directors; provided, however that such releases shall be subject to a
limited carve-out solely for criminal acts and fraud (such release, the “Affirming Party Release”) 
 Each Affirming Party
hereby agrees that if (x) any affirmation, representation, covenant or warranty set forth above (collectively, the “Affirmations”) is determined at any time to be materially incorrect or untrue by any Lender (in its reasonable
discretion) (and such Lender, upon request of the Affirming Party, provides such Affirming Party with a description of such affirmation, representation, covenant or warranty that such Lender determines is materially incorrect or untrue), or
(y) it breaches its obligations under the Affirming Party Release, then the Release granted by such Lender to such Affirming Party in connection with the Bank Amendment shall be void ab initio, without any affect on such Lender’s
consent to the Bank Amendment otherwise, and such Lender shall have all of its respective rights and remedies against such Affirming Party as they were in existence prior to the date upon which the Release was granted. 
 The undersigned Affirming Party represents that it has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this letter agreement. This letter
agreement and the Affirmations shall be governed and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.
