a.Section 2.05(a)(iv) of the Existing Credit Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
“In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, any Borrower (x) prepays, repays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Term Loans in connection with a Repricing Transaction, or (y) effects any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent under, this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, such Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans that are the subject of such Repricing Transaction outstanding immediately prior to such amendment, modification, waiver or consent.  If, on or prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, all or any portion of the Term Loans held by any Lender are prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced as a result of, or in connection with, such Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to any waiver, consent, modification or amendment referred to in clause (y) above (or otherwise in connection with a Repricing Transaction), such prepayment, repayment, refinancing, substitution or replacement will be made at 101% of the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced.  All such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.”
A.References to Initial Term Loans. On and after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, unless the context shall otherwise require, each reference in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to (a) “Initial Euro Term Loans” shall be deemed a reference to the Refinancing Term Loans denominated in Euro contemplated hereby and the terms “Initial Euro Term Borrowing” and “Initial Euro Term Commitment” shall be deemed to have corresponding meanings, (b) “Initial Dollar Term Loans” shall be deemed a reference to the Refinancing Term Loans denominated in Dollars contemplated hereby and the terms  “Initial Dollar Term Borrowing” and “Initial Dollar Term Commitment” shall be deemed to have corresponding meanings  and (c) “Lenders” shall be deemed to include the New Term Lenders.  As of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, after giving effect to this Amendment (after giving effect to any principal amortization payments made on or prior to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date), the aggregate outstanding principal of amount of the Initial Euro Term Loans is €331,000,000 and the aggregate outstanding principal of amount of the Initial Dollar Term Loans is $289,300,000.
B.Exchange of Existing Term Loans.  On the terms and subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof, each Exchanging Term Lender agrees that an aggregate principal amount of its Existing Term Loans (the “Exchanged Term Loans”) equal to the amount of such Exchanging Term Lender’s Existing Term Loans (or such lesser amount notified to such Exchanging Term Lender by the Administrative Agent) will be exchanged with Refinancing Term Loans in the same currency, as further described in such Exchanging Term Lender’s Lender Consent, as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date. Each Exchanging Lender hereby confirms that no amounts shall be payable under Section 3.06 of the Existing Credit Agreement as a result of the exchange of its Existing Term Loans for 

Exhibit 10.6

the Exchanged Term Loans taking place on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period for its Existing Term Loans.
C.Prepayment of Existing Term Loans.  On the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the Term Borrowers shall apply the Net Proceeds of the Refinancing Term Loans (if any), together with cash on hand, to prepay in full the outstanding principal amount of all Non-Exchanged Term Loans, to pay accrued and unpaid interest payable on all Existing Term Loans to (and excluding) the Fifth Amendment Effective Date and (if applicable) to pay amounts owing on the Non-Exchanged Term Loans under Section 3.06 of the Existing Credit Agreement,  in each case as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date. The exchange of Exchanged Term Loans with Refinancing Term Loans contemplated hereby collectively constitute a voluntary prepayment of the Existing Term Loans by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of the Existing Credit Agreement and the New Term Lenders hereby agree that this Amendment shall be deemed to satisfy all requirements under Section 2.05(a) for such voluntary prepayment. The refinancing undertakings of the Exchanging Term Lenders are several and no such New Term Lender will be responsible for any other New Term Lender’s failure to make or acquire by refinancing Refinancing Term Loans.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Amendment do not constitute a novation but, rather, an amendment of the terms of a pre-existing Indebtedness and related agreement, as evidenced by the Amended Credit Agreement.
D.Interest, Rollover and Break Costs. Each party hereto agrees that: 
a.the Refinancing Term Loans shall be deemed to have an initial Interest Period (the “Initial Interest Period”) that begins on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date and ends on the last day of the interest period for the Existing Term Loans in the same currency in effect under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date (the “Existing Interest Period”), such last day being December 29, 2017 and after the Initial Interest Period each Interest Period for the Refinancing Term Loans shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement;
b.for the Initial Interest Period the Refinancing Term Loans shall be deemed to accrue interest from (and including) the Fifth Amendment Effective Date in accordance with paragraph (c) below and after the Initial Interest Period the Refinancing Term Loans shall accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement;

d.any accrued and unpaid interest to (and excluding) the Fifth Amendment Effective Date on any Existing Term Loans shall be paid in cash by the relevant Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date; 
e.amounts due and payable under Section 3.06 of the Existing Credit Agreement in respect of Non-Exchanged Term Loans shall be paid in cash by the relevant Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date; and
