NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 SECTION 1.    DEFINITIONS.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms which are defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.
SECTION 2.    AMENDMENTS.  
a.    Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended, effective immediately after the provision of the 2018 Replacement Term Loans on the 2018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date, with the stricken text deleted (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and with the double-underlined text 

2
        

added (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in the pages of the Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit B attached hereto.
b.    Amendment to Schedule 2.01.  Schedule 2.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto and shall reflect an aggregate principal amount of $385,000,000 of 2018 Replacement Term Loan Commitments.
SECTION 3.    2018 REPLACEMENT TERM LOANS; ALLOCATIONS.  
a.    Each 2018 Replacement Term Lender, by executing a 2018 Replacement Term Lender Addendum, consents to the amendments to the Credit Agreement set forth in this Amendment and is deemed for all purposes to be a party to this Amendment.
b.     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each 2018 Replacement Term Lender agrees to provide its 2018 Replacement Term Loan on the 2018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date in a principal amount equal to such 2018 Replacement Term Lender’s 2018 Replacement Term Loan Commitment (as defined below); provided that the 2018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date shall occur on a date that is on or prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below).  The Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of the proposed 2018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date not later than one Business Day prior thereto, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each 2018 Replacement Term Lender thereof.  
c.     Each 2018 Replacement Term Lender will provide its 2018 Replacement Term Loan on the 2018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date by making available to the Administrative Agent, in the manner contemplated by the Amended Credit Agreement or as otherwise arranged by the Administrative Agent and such 2018 Replacement Term Lenders, an amount equal to its 2018 Replacement Term Loan Commitment.  The “2018 Replacement Term Loan Commitment” of any 2018 Replacement Term Lender will be such amount (not exceeding any commitment offered by such 2018 Replacement Term Lender) allocated to it by the Administrative Agent and notified to it on or prior to the 2018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date.  The failure of any 2018 Replacement Term Lender to make any 2018 Replacement Term Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other 2018 Replacement Term Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the commitments of the 2018 Replacement Term Lenders are several and no such Lender will be responsible for any other such Lender’s failure to provide its 2018 Replacement Term Loan.  The 2018 Replacement Term Loans may from time to time be ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent as contemplated by Sections 2.02 and 2.07 of the Amended Credit Agreement.  Upon the provision of the 2018 Replacement Term Loans on the 2018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date, the 2018 Replacement Term Loans shall be ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, of the same Type and with the Interest Period(s) that were applicable to the Existing Term Loans immediately prior to the 2018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date uninterrupted thereby with the initial Interest Period(s) applicable to the 2018 Replacement Term Loans equal to the remaining length of such Existing Term Loans’ Interest Period(s).

d.    The obligation of each 2018 Replacement Term Lender to provide its 2018 Replacement Term Loans on the 2018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 of this Amendment.

f.    The Lenders hereby agree to waive the notice requirements of Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement (which notice is otherwise hereby deemed to be effectively given to the Administrative Agent) in connection with the prepayment of Term Loans and the prepayment or replacement of Existing Term Loans contemplated hereby.

(a)    Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03.  Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to (i) convert any ABR Borrowing or any Eurocurrency Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type, (ii) continue any Borrowing and (iii) in the case of a Eurocurrency 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.  
(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 Borrowing of Term B Loans 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, and all such written Interest Election Requests shall be 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 Eurocurrency Borrowing; and
(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency 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.”

-37-

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency 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 an Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing is not timely delivered 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 and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 2.08        Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
(a)    Unless previously terminated, the 20172018 Replacement Term Loan Commitments shall terminate and be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the earlier of (i) funding of the 20172018 Replacement Term Loans on the 20172018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date and (ii) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 19June 30, 20172018.  The proceeds of the 20172018 Replacement Term Loans will be applied on the 20172018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date to the principal amount of the Existing Term Loans (as defined in the 20172018 Replacement Term Loan Amendment) outstanding at such time in order to prepay such principal amount in full.  Upon the funding of the 20172018 Replacement Term Loans on the 20172018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date, the 20172018 Replacement Term Loans shall constitute, on the terms provided in the 20172018 Replacement Term Loan Amendment, Term Loans hereunder.
(b)    The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.
(c)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under Section 2.08(b) 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 such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents 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 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee and its registered assigns.
SECTION 2.10        Amortization of Term Loans.
(a)    Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, the Borrower shall repay the 20172018 Replacement Term Loans on the last day of each March, June, September and December, (i) beginning on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter to occur after the 20172018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date through and including the last day of the eighth full fiscal quarter after the 2018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date, in an aggregate principal amount for each such date equal to 0.625% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Replacement Term Loans outstanding on the 2018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date and (ii) thereafter, in an aggregate principal amount for each such date equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the 20172018 Replacement Term Loans outstanding on the 20172018 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date.
(b)    The Borrower shall repay Incremental Term Loans of any Series in such amounts and on such date or dates as shall be specified therefor in the Incremental Facility Agreement establishing the Incremental Term Commitments of such Series (as such amounts may be adjusted pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section or pursuant to such Incremental Facility Agreement).
(c)    To the extent not previously paid, (i) all Term B Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date and (ii) all Incremental Term Loans of any Series shall be due and payable on the Incremental Term Maturity Date applicable thereto.

-39-

(d)    Any mandatory prepayment of a Borrowing of Term Loans of any Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section to the next eight scheduled repayments in direct order and thereafter ratably. Any optional prepayment of a Borrowing of Term Loans of any Class shall be applied to the scheduled repayments of the Borrowings of such Class as directed by the Borrower.

Such fee shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders in respect of the 20172018 Replacement Term Loans, on the date of such prepayment.
(c)    In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within three Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Borrowings of Term B Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds; provided that in the case of any event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term Prepayment Event (other than sales, transfers or other dispositions pursuant to Section 6.05(j) in excess of $15,000,000), if the Borrower shall deliver, within such three Business Days, to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate), within 365 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire real property, equipment or other tangible assets to be used in the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in 

-40-

respect of the 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 365-day period, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied; provided further that a portion of the Net Proceeds required to prepay Borrowings of Term B Loans (but in no event more than a ratable portion thereof (such ratable share to be calculated by reference to the outstanding amount of Pari Passu Alternative Incremental Debt, Pari Passu Permitted Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness and Loans, in each case immediately prior to such prepayment)) may, in lieu of prepaying Term B Loans hereunder, be applied to redeem or prepay any Pari Passu Alternative Incremental Debt or any Pari Passu Permitted Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness, in each case if required under the terms of the applicable documents governing such Pari Passu Alternative Incremental Debt or such Pari Passu Permitted Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness.

Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made within 95 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 by (x) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (y) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans, (ii) the prepayment date, (iii) the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and (iv) in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice, 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)    In the event of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans made at a time when Term Loans of more than one Class remain outstanding, the Borrower shall select Term Loans to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among each Class of the Term Loans pro rata based on the aggregate principal amounts of outstanding 

-41-

Borrowings of each such Class; provided that (x) the amounts so allocable to Incremental Term Loans of any Series may be applied to other Term Loan Borrowings if so provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement and (y) the amounts so allocable to any tranche of Extended Term Loans may be applied to other Term Loan Borrowings if so provided in the applicable Extension Offer.  In the event of any optional prepayment of Term Loans made at a time when Term Loans of more than one Class remain, the Borrower shall select the Term Loans to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among the Term Loans and each Series of Incremental Term Loans then outstanding based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Borrowings of each such Class; provided that (x) the amounts so allocable to Incremental Term Loans of any Series may be applied to other Borrowings of Term Loans if so provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement and (y) the amounts so allocable to any tranche of Extended Term Loans may be applied to other Borrowings of Term Loans if so provided in the applicable Extension Offer.
SECTION 2.12        Fees.
(a)    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.
(b)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION 2.13        Interest.
(a)    The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b)    The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue 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 overdue amount payable, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Term B Loans.
(d)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; 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, 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 Eurocurrency 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.

-42-

(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. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of an Adjusted LIBO Rate.  
SECTION 2.14        Alternate Rate of Interest.  
(a)    If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of any Class:
(ai)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means (including by means of an Interpolated Rate or because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or
(bii)    the Administrative Agent is advised by a majority in interest of the Lenders of the applicable Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable, 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 Loans) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable Class by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, then (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) any Eurocurrency Borrowing that is requested to be continued, shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the  then current Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

-43-

(b)    If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, fund or continue any Eurodollar Borrowing, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make, maintain, fund or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR  Borrowings to Eurodollar Borrowings will be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert or prepay all Eurodollar Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans.  Upon any such conversion or prepayment, the Borrower will also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted or prepaid.

(c)    If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.  Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (c) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(c), only to the extent the Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Eurocurrency Borrowing that is requested to be continued, shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the  then current Interest Period applicable thereto and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

-44-

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);
(ii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender; or
(iii)    subject any Lender to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes otherwise indemnifiable under Section 2.17 and (B) Excluded Taxes);
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender 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 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 to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’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 270-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 Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency 

-45-

Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency 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 that 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 that 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 deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency 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; provided that if the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required to deduct any Indemnified 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 or the Lender (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 or the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
(b)    In addition, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
(c)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, 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 imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-46-

(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)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  The indemnity under this Section shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent.  Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.
(f)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document 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 or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.
(i)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
(A)    in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;
(D)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;
(E)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (g)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or
(F)    any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.
(ii)    Each Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(g)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, agrees to repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to 

-48-

such Governmental Authority.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.17(g) shall require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)    For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loan Documents as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
SECTION 2.18        Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a)    The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise), on or before 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 set-off 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 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03 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 (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder and under each other Loan Document, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise 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, 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 then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term B Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term B 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 Term B 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 Term B 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 

-49-

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 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 hereunder is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders 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 the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment due to the Administrative Agent, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 10.03(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, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense 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 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee selected by the Borrower that 

-50-

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 , 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, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees 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) and (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.  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. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective.
SECTION 2.20        [Reserved].
SECTION 2.21        Incremental Facilities.
(a)    The Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request the establishment of Incremental Term Commitments; provided that the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments established on any date shall not exceed (i) (together with the amount of Alternative Incremental Debt established on such date in reliance on the Base Incremental Amount) an amount equal to the Base Incremental Amount on such date and (ii) an additional amount subject to the Maximum Incremental Amount as of such date.  Each such notice shall specify (A) the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Term Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, and (B) the amount of the Incremental Term Commitments being requested (it being agreed that (x) any Lender approached to provide any Incremental Term Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Term Commitment and (y) any Person that the Borrower proposes to become an Incremental Term Lender, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent).
(b)    The terms and conditions of any Incremental Term Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement, identical to those of the Term Commitments and the Term B Loans; provided that (i) the interest rate margins with respect to any Incremental Term Loans shall be as agreed by the Borrower and the lenders in respect thereof; provided, that if the total yield (calculated, for both the Incremental Term Loans and the Term B Loans, to include upfront fees, any interest rate floors and any original issue discount (with original issue discount being equated to interest rate in a manner determined by the Administrative Agent based on an assumed four-year life to maturity) but to exclude any arrangement, underwriting or similar fee paid by the Borrower) in respect of any Incremental Term Loans exceeds the total yield for the existing Term B Loans by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Rate for the Term B Loans shall be increased so that the total yield in respect of such Incremental Term Loans is no higher than the total yield for the existing Term B Loans plus 0.50% (provided that if the Incremental Term 

-51-

Loans include an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the Term B Loans, such increased amount shall be equated to the applicable interest rate margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable Rate for the Term B Loans shall be required, to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor for the Term B Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the Applicable Rate) applicable to the Term B Loans shall be increased by such amount), (ii) any Incremental Term Loan shall have terms, in the Borrower’s reasonable judgment, customary for a term loan under then-existing market convention, (iii) the amortization schedule with respect to any Incremental Term Loans shall be as agreed by the Borrower and the lenders in respect thereof, provided that the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Latest Maturing Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the establishment of such Incremental Term Loans (other than as necessary to make any such Incremental Term Loans fungible with such Latest Maturing Term Loans), (iv) no Incremental Term Maturity Date with respect to Incremental Term Loans shall be earlier than the Latest Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to the establishment of such Incremental Term Loans, (v) except as permitted by clause (i), the Incremental Term Loans shall be treated no more favorably than the Term B Loans (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to the establishment of such Incremental Term Loans; provided further that any Incremental Term Loans may add additional covenants or events of default not otherwise applicable to the Term B Loans or covenants more restrictive than the covenants applicable to the Term B Loans in each case prior to the Latest Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to the establishment of such Incremental Facility so long as this Agreement is amended to provide all of the Lenders with the benefits of such additional covenants, events of default or more restrictive covenants, (vi) to the extent the terms applicable to any Incremental Term Loans are inconsistent with the terms applicable to the Term B Loans (except, in each case, as otherwise permitted pursuant to this paragraph (b)), such terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (vii) any Incremental Term Loans shall have the same Guarantees as, and shall rank pari passu with respect to the Liens on the Collateral and in right of payment with, the Term B Loans.  Any Incremental Term Commitments established pursuant to an Incremental Facility Agreement that have identical terms and conditions, and any Incremental Term Loans made thereunder, shall be designated as a separate series (each a “Series”) of Incremental Term Commitments and Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall there be more than six maturity dates in respect of the Credit Facilities (including any Extended Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans).
(c)    The Incremental Term Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, each Incremental Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Commitments and the Administrative Agent; provided that (other than with respect to the incurrence of Incremental Term Loans the proceeds of which shall be used to consummate an acquisition permitted by this Agreement for which the Borrower has determined, in good faith, that limited conditionality is reasonably necessary (any such acquisition, a “Limited Conditionality Acquisition”) as to which conditions (i) through (iii) below shall not apply) no Incremental Term Commitments shall become effective unless (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of effectiveness thereof, both immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Term Commitments and the making of Loans thereunder to be made on such date, (ii) on the date of effectiveness thereof, the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan 

-52-

Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if qualified by materiality) on and as of such date, (iii) the Borrower shall make any payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with such Incremental Term Commitments and the related transactions under this Section, and (iv) the other conditions, if any, set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement are satisfied; provided further that no Incremental Term Loans in respect of a Limited Conditionality Acquisition shall become effective unless (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of entry into the definitive acquisition documentation in respect of such Limited Conditionality Acquisition (the “Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement”) and (ii) on the date of effectiveness of the Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement, the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if qualified by materiality) on and as of such date.  Each Incremental Facility Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section.
(d)    Upon the effectiveness of an Incremental Term Commitment of any Incremental Term Lender, such Incremental Term Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” (and a Lender in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder, and henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgements and other obligations of Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
(e)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement, each Lender holding an Incremental Term Commitment of any Series shall make a loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to such Incremental Term Commitment on the date specified in such Incremental Facility Agreement.
(f)    The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Borrower referred to in paragraph (a) above and of the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Commitments, in each case advising the Lenders of the details thereof. 
SECTION 2.22        [Reserved].  
SECTION 2.23        Extensions.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Term B Loans with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term B Loans with a like maturity date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term B Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Term B Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term B Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term B Loans) (each, an 

-53-

“Extension,” and each group of Term B Loans as so extended, as well as the original Term B Loans (not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:  (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) [reserved], (iii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v), and (vi), be determined between the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term B Loans of any Term B Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term B Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (the “Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term B Loans subject to such Extension Offer, (iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the Term B Loans from which they were converted and the amortization schedule applicable to Term B Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) for periods prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date may not be increased, (v) the weighted average life of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life of the Term B Loans extended thereby, (vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments of Term B Loans hereunder (except for repayments required upon the scheduled maturity date of the non-Extended Term Loans), in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term B Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Term B Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term B Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term B Loans of such Term B Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term B Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (viii) [reserved], (ix) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (x) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and (xi) the Minimum Tranche Amount shall be satisfied unless waived by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall there be more than six maturity dates in respect of the Credit Facilities (including any Extended Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans).
(b)    With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.11 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that (x) the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term B Loans of any or all applicable tranches be tendered and (y) no tranche of Extended Term Loans shall be in an amount of less than $50,000,000 (the “Minimum Tranche Amount”), unless such Minimum Tranche Amount is waived by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.11 and 2.18) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

-54-

(c)    No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans.  All Extended Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section.  Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then latest maturity date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest maturity date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).
(d)    In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section.

The Agents
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (it being understood that references in this Article VIII to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to include the Collateral Agent) as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by 

-86-

the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the 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 and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor from among the Lenders.  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, 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 

-87-

unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 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.  All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.
SECTION 10.02     Waivers; Amendments.
(a)    No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent 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 

-88-

the Administrative Agent 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 shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b)    Except as provided in Section 2.21 and Section 2.23, 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 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 written 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 the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) 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 any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce or forgive 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) change Section 2.18(a), (b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section) 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), (vi) release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Loan Parties from their Guarantees under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (except as expressly provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in the Security Documents) or (viii) change the order of priority of payments set forth in Section 2.4 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement without the written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of a particular Class (but not the Lenders of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.  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 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 

-89-

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.
(c)    In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders (and, to the extent any Proposed Change requires the consent of Lenders holding Loans of any Class pursuant to clause (v) or (viii) of paragraph (b) of this Section, the consent of at least 50% in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of such Class) to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), 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 (a) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees 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), (c) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 10.04(b), (d) such assignee shall consent to such Proposed Change and (e) if such Non-Consenting Lender is acting as the Administrative Agent, it will not be required to assign and delegate its interests, rights and obligations as Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document, (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement without the consent of any Lender or Required Lenders in order to provide the Lenders with the benefits of any additional covenants, more restrictive covenants or events of default that are included in any Alternative Incremental Debt or Permitted Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness or that are added to the ABL Loan Documents and (iii) this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing, replacement or modification of all or any portion of the outstanding Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans (such Loans, the “Replaced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”); provided, that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Replaced Term Loans (plus unpaid accrued interest and premium thereon at such time plus reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with such replacement), (b) the terms of the Replacement Term Loans (1) (excluding pricing, fees and rate 

-90-

floors and optional prepayment or redemption terms and subject to clause (2) below) reflect, in the Borrower’s reasonable judgment, then-existing market terms and conditions and (2) (excluding pricing, fees and rate floors) are no more favorable to the lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than those applicable to the Replaced Term Loans (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and optional prepayments); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to the establishment of such Replacement Term Loans; provided further that any Replacement Term Loans may add additional covenants or events of default not otherwise applicable to the Replaced Term Loans or covenants more restrictive than the covenants applicable to the Replaced Term Loans, in each case prior to the Latest Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to the establishment of such Replacement Term Loans so long as all Lenders receive the benefits of such additional covenants, events of default or more restrictive covenants, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of any Replacement Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Replaced Terms Loans, (d) the maturity date with respect to any Replacement Term Loans shall be no earlier than the maturity date with respect to the Replaced Term Loans, (e) no Subsidiary that is not originally obligated with respect to repayment of the Replaced Term Loans is obligated with respect to the Replacement Term Loans and (f) any Person that the Borrower proposes to become a lender in respect of the Replacement Term Loans, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall there be more than six maturity dates in respect of the Credit Facilities (including any Extended Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans).
SECTION 10.03     Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a)    The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for each of the Agents, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, due diligence investigation, 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) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents 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 hereunder, including all such out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.
(b)    The Borrower hereby indemnifies the Agents, the Arrangers 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 the use of the proceeds therefrom, (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 

-91-

Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, 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 whether or not the same are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, affiliates or creditors or any other Person 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 (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have arisen out of a material breach in bad faith by such Indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Documents or (C) result from a dispute solely among Indemnitees, other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an agent or arranger under the Loan Documents and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.  This Section 10.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c)    To the extent that any of the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.03 (and without limiting such party’s obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent 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 in its capacity as such.  For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.
(d)    To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and 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 the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e)    All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.
(f)    No director, officer, employee, stockholder or member, as such, of any Loan Party shall have any liability for the Obligations or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of the Obligations or their creation; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to relieve any Loan Party of its Obligations under any Loan Document.
(g)    For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.03 shall not apply to any Taxes, except to the extent any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim.
SECTION 10.04     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, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder 

-92-

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).  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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than a natural person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment of Loans or Commitments unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 105 Business Days after having received notice thereof), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iii) 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, except that this clause (iii) 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, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided, further, that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under clauses (a), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing.  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption 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 10.03).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (e) of this Section.
(c)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption 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 owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the 

-93-

Lenders shall 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 and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption 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 Assumption 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.
(e)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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 the Loan Documents 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 10.02(b) that affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the limitations and requirements therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. With respect to any Loan made to the Borrower, each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or in connection with any income tax audit or other income tax proceeding of the Borrower.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is 

-94-

recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(f)    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 prior written consent of the Borrower.  A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. 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(f) as though it were a Lender.
(g)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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.
(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans (or Incremental Term Loans) to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at a price below the par value thereof; provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately before and after giving effect to such assignment, (2) any such offer to purchase shall be offered to all Term Lenders of a particular Class on a pro rata basis, with mechanics to be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, (3) any Loans so purchased shall be immediately cancelled and retired (provided that any non-cash gain in respect of “cancellation of indebtedness” resulting from the cancellation of any Loans so purchased shall not increase Consolidated EBITDA), (4) the Borrower shall provide, as of the date of its offer to purchase and as of the date of the effectiveness of such purchase and assignment, a customary representation and warranty that neither it nor any of its affiliates is in possession of any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their respective securities and (5) the Borrower and the applicable purchaser shall waive any right to bring any action against the Administrative Agent in connection with such purchase or the Term Loans so purchased.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries be deemed to be a Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as a result of an assignment made under this clause (h).
SECTION 10.05     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, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent 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 and so long 

-95-

as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03 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 Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 10.06     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 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 that, 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 facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.07     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 10.08     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 10.09     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)    The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive 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 

-96-

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 or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c)    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 10.01.  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 10.10     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 10.11     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 10.12     Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Lender Affiliates and to its and its Lender Affiliates’ 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 pursuant to the terms hereof), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory or quasi-regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any

SECTION 10.17     No Fiduciary Duty.  Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its stockholders and/or its affiliates.  The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and there under) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.

Restricted Stock Units Agreement

This RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of _______ __, 20__, by and between Horizon Global Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and _________________ (the “Grantee”).

1.Certain Definitions.  Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, in this Agreement will have the meanings given to such terms in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).
2.Grant of RSUs.  Subject to and upon the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, pursuant to authorization under a resolution of the Committee that was duly adopted on _______ __, 20__, the Company has granted to the Grantee _______, 20__ (the “Date of Grant”) __________ Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”).  Each RSU shall represent the right of the Grantee to receive one Common Share subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  
3.Restrictions on Transfer of RSUs.  Subject to Section 15 of the Plan, neither the RSUs evidenced hereby nor any interest therein or in the Common Shares underlying such RSUs shall be transferable prior to payment to the Grantee pursuant to Section 5 hereof other than by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution.
4.Vesting of RSUs.
		
	(a)
	The RSUs covered by this Agreement shall become nonforfeitable and payable to the Grantee pursuant to Section 5 hereof on the ________ anniversary of the Date of Grant, conditioned upon the Grantee’s continuous employment with the Company or a Subsidiary through such date (the period from the Date of Grant until the _________ anniversary of the Date of Grant, the “Vesting Period”).  Any RSUs that do not so become nonforfeitable will be forfeited, including, except as provided in Section 4(b) or Section 4(c) below, if the Grantee ceases to be continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the end of the Vesting Period.  For purposes of this Agreement, “continuously employed” (or substantially similar terms) means the absence of any interruption or termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary.  Continuous employment shall not be considered interrupted or terminated in the case of transfers between locations of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

		
	(b)
	Notwithstanding Section 4(a) above, the RSUs shall become nonforfeitable and payable to the Grantee pursuant to Section 5 hereof upon the occurrence of any of the following events at a time when the RSUs have not been forfeited (to the extent the RSUs have not previously become nonforfeitable) in the following manner:

1

		
	(i)
	all of the RSUs shall become nonforfeitable and payable to the Grantee if the Grantee should die or become Disabled prior to the end of the Vesting Period while the Grantee is continuously employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

		
	(ii)
	in the event of a Change in Control that occurs prior to the end of the Vesting Period, the RSUs shall become nonforfeitable and payable in accordance with Section 4(c) below.

		
	(c)
	(i)      Notwithstanding Section 4(a) above, if at any time before the end of the Vesting Period or forfeiture of the RSUs, and while the Grantee is continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, a Change in Control occurs, then the RSUs will become nonforfeitable and payable to the Grantee in accordance with Section 5 hereof, except to the extent that a Replacement Award is provided to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4(c)(ii) to continue, replace or assume the RSUs covered by this Agreement (the “Replaced Award”).

		
	(ii)
	For purposes of this Agreement, a “Replacement Award” means an award (A) of the same type (e.g., time-based restricted stock units) as the Replaced Award, (B) that has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award, (C) that relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control, (D) if the Grantee holding the Replaced Award is subject to U.S. federal income tax under the Code, the tax consequences of which to such Grantee under the Code are not less favorable to such Grantee than the tax consequences of the Replaced Award, and (E) the other terms and conditions of which are not less favorable to the Grantee holding the Replaced Award than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control).  A Replacement Award may be granted only to the extent it does not result in the Replaced Award or Replacement Award failing to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the two preceding sentences are satisfied.  The determination of whether the conditions of this Section 4(c)(ii) are satisfied will be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion.

		
	(iii)
	If, after receiving a Replacement Award, the Grantee experiences a termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary (or any of their successors) (as applicable, the “Successor”) by reason of a termination by the Successor without Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason, in each case within a period of two years after the Change in Control and during the 

2

remaining vesting period for the Replacement Award, the Replacement Award shall become nonforfeitable and payable with respect to the time-based restricted stock units covered by such Replacement Award upon such termination.
		
	(iv)
	If a Replacement Award is provided, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any outstanding RSUs that at the time of the Change in Control are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) will be deemed to be nonforfeitable at the time of such Change in Control.

		
	(d)
	For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions apply:

		
	(i)
	“Good Reason” shall mean (A) a material and permanent diminution in the Grantee’s duties or responsibilities; (B) a material reduction in the aggregate value of base salary and bonus opportunity provided to the Grantee by the Company; or (C) a permanent reassignment of the Grantee to another primary office more than 50 miles from the current office location.  The Grantee must notify the Company of the Grantee’s intention to invoke termination for Good Reason within 90 days after the Grantee has knowledge of such event and provide the Company 30 days’ opportunity for cure, or such event shall not constitute Good Reason.  The Grantee may not invoke termination for Good Reason if Cause exists at the time of such termination.

		
	(ii)
	“Cause” shall mean (A) the Grantee’s conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime constituting a felony under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or any other jurisdiction in which the Company or its Subsidiaries conduct business; (B) the Grantee’s willful misconduct in the performance of the Grantee’s duties to the Company or its Subsidiaries and failure to cure such breach within thirty days following written notice thereof from the Company; (C) the Grantee’s willful failure or refusal to follow directions from the Board (or direct reporting executive) and failure to cure such breach within thirty days following written notice thereof from the Board; or (D) the Grantee’s breach of fiduciary duty to the Company or its Subsidiaries for personal profit.  Any failure by the Company or a Subsidiary to notify the Grantee after the first occurrence of an event constituting Cause shall not preclude any subsequent occurrences of such event (or a similar event) from constituting Cause.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement prevents the Grantee from providing, without prior notice to the Company, information to governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations, and for purpose of clarity the Grantee is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the 

3

Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act.
		
	(iii)
	“Disabled” shall mean (A) the Grantee is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity due to medically determinable physical or mental impairment expected to result in death or to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (B) due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment expected to result in death or last for a continuous period not less than 12 months, the Grantee has received income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan sponsored by the Company.

5.    Form and Time of Payment of RSUs.  
		
	(a)
	Payment for the RSUs, after and to the extent they have become nonforfeitable, shall be made in the form of Common Shares.  Except as provided in Section 5(b) or 5(c), payment shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following (but no later than thirty (30) days following) the date that the RSUs become nonforfeitable pursuant to Section 4 hereof. 

		
	(b)
	If the RSUs become nonforfeitable (i) by reason of the occurrence of a Change in Control as described in Section 4(c), and if the Change in Control does not constitute a “change in control” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, or (ii) by reason of a termination of the Grantee’s employment, and if such termination does not constitute a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code, then payment for the RSUs will be made upon the earliest of (A) the Grantee’s “separation from service” with the Company and its Subsidiaries (determined in accordance with Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code), (B) the date the RSUs would have become nonforfeitable under Section 4(a) had the Grantee remained in continuous employment, (C) the Grantee’s death, (D) the occurrence of a Change in Control that constitutes a “change in control” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, or (E) the Grantee’s becoming Disabled.

		
	(c)
	If the RSUs become payable on the Grantee’s “separation from service” with the Company and its Subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and the Grantee is a “specified employee” as determined pursuant to procedures adopted by the Company in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, then payment for the RSUs shall be made on the earlier of the fifth business day of the seventh month after the date of the Grantee’s “separation from service” with the Company and its Subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code or the Grantee’s death.

		
	(d)
	Except to the extent provided by Section 409A of the Code and permitted by the Committee, no Common Shares may be issued to the Grantee at a time earlier than otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

4

		
	(e)
	The Company’s obligations to the Grantee with respect to the RSUs will be satisfied in full upon the issuance of Common Shares corresponding to such RSUs.

6.    Dividend Equivalents; Voting and Other Rights.
		
	(a)
	The Grantee shall have no rights of ownership in the Common Shares underlying the RSUs and no right to vote the Common Shares underlying the RSUs until the date on which the Common Shares underlying the RSUs are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to Section 5 above.

		
	(b)
	From and after the Date of Grant and until the earlier of (i) the time when the RSUs become nonforfeitable and are paid in accordance with Section 5 hereof or (ii) the time when the Grantee’s right to receive Common Shares in payment of the RSUs is forfeited in accordance with Section 4 hereof, on the date that the Company pays a cash dividend (if any) to holders of Common Shares generally, the Grantee shall be credited with cash per RSU equal to the amount of such dividend.  Any amounts credited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be subject to the same applicable terms and conditions (including vesting, payment and forfeitability) as apply to the RSUs based on which the dividend equivalents were credited, and such amounts shall be paid in cash at the same time as the RSUs to which they relate.

		
	(c)
	The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver Common Shares in the future, and the rights of the Grantee will be no greater than that of an unsecured general creditor. No assets of the Company will be held or set aside as security for the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.

7.    Adjustments.  The number of Common Shares issuable for each RSU and the other terms and conditions of the grant evidenced by this Agreement are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.
8.    Withholding Taxes.  To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with the delivery to the Grantee of Common Shares or any other payment to the Grantee or any other payment or vesting event under this Agreement, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the obligation of the Company to make any such delivery or payment that the Grantee make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld.  The Grantee may elect that all or any part of such withholding requirement be satisfied by retention by the Company of a portion of the Common Shares to be delivered to the Grantee or by delivering to the Company other Common Shares held by the Grantee. If such election is made, the shares so retained shall be credited against such withholding requirement at the market value of such Common Shares on the date of such delivery.  In no event will the market value of the Common Shares to be withheld and/or delivered pursuant to this Section 8 to satisfy applicable withholding taxes exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld.

5

9.    Compliance With Law.  The Company shall make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws; provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement if the issuance thereof would result in a violation of any such law.
10.    Compliance With Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.  This Agreement and the Plan shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause this Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force or effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Company without the consent of the Grantee).
11.    Interpretation.  Any reference in this Agreement to Section 409A of the Code will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein will have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan.
12.    No Right to Future Awards or Employment.  The grant of the RSUs under this Agreement to the Grantee is a voluntary, discretionary award being made on a one-time basis and it does not constitute a commitment to make any future awards.  The grant of the RSUs and any payments made hereunder will not be considered salary or other compensation for purposes of any severance pay or similar allowance, except as otherwise required by law.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee any right to be employed or remain employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor limit or affect in any manner the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the Grantee.
13.    Relation to Other Benefits.  Any economic or other benefit to the Grantee under this Agreement or the Plan shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and shall not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
14.    Amendments.  Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that (a) no amendment shall adversely affect the rights of the Grantee under this Agreement without the Grantee’s written consent, and (b) the Grantee’s consent shall not be required to an amendment that is deemed necessary by the Company to ensure compliance with Section 409A of the Code or Section 10D of the Exchange Act.
15.    Severability.  In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall 

6

be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.
16.    Relation to Plan.  This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern.  The Committee acting pursuant to the Plan, as constituted from time to time, shall, except as expressly provided otherwise herein or in the Plan, have the right to determine any questions which arise in connection with this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Grantee acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the award described herein are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's clawback policy (if any) as may be in effect from time to time specifically to implement Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (including applicable rules and regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Common Shares may be traded).
17.    Electronic Delivery.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver any documents related to the RSUs and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or future awards that may be granted under the Plan, by electronic means or request the Grantee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.
18.    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed with the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any principle of law that would result in the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.
19.    Successors and Assigns.  Without limiting Section 3 hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and assigns of the Grantee, and the successors and assigns of the Company.
20.    Acknowledgement.  The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee (a) has received a copy of the Plan, (b) has had an opportunity to review the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, (c) understands the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan and (d) agrees to such terms and conditions.
21.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement.
