Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, if any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding (after giving effect to Section 2.21(a)(iv)), then promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover such Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.”

(o)    Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the table therein with the following:

(p)    Clause (a) of Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day following the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any such fees accrued from the Closing Date through the end of the first full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date shall be payable on the first Business Day following the last day of such full quarter. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose)”

Clauses (a) and (b) of Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

(b)    At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date so long as no Limited Availability Period is then in effect, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly make such notice available to each of the Lenders), request to effect one or more additional tranches of terms loans hereunder or increases in the aggregate amount of the Term Commitments which shall take the form of an additional tranche of term loans hereunder (each such increase, a “Term Commitment Increase”, and the term loans made thereunder, “Incremental Term Loans”) from one or more Incremental Term Lenders; provided that at the time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Facility Amendment and the incurrence of any such Incremental Term Loans, (A) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied, (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance (before and after giving effect to any Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to such Term Commitment Increase) with the Financial Performance Covenant on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period (with any proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans or Cure Amounts to be excluded for purposes of the cash component of the Total Net Leverage Ratio), (C) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above, together with reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating compliance with clause (B) above, (D) the maturity date of any term loans incurred pursuant to such Term Commitment Increase shall not be earlier than the Latest Maturity Date then in effect and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any term loans incurred pursuant to such Term Commitment Increase shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans, (E) the interest rate margins and, subject to clause (D), the amortization schedule for any term loans incurred pursuant to such Term Commitment Increase shall be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Term Lenders with the applicable

Term Commitment Increases; provided that in the event that the All-In Yield of any Term Commitment Increase effected exceeds the All-In Yield of the existing Term Loans by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Rate for the existing Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the All-In Yield of the Term Loans is equal to the All-In Yield of such term loans incurred pursuant to such Term Commitment Increase minus 50 basis points; provided, further, that to the extent the All-In Yield with respect to such Term Commitment Increase is greater than such All-In Yield with respect to the existing Term Loans solely as a result of a higher interest rate floor, then the increase to the Applicable Rate shall be effected solely by increasing the interest rate floor on the existing Term Loans, and (F) any Incremental Term Facility Amendment shall be on the terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Term Lenders with the applicable Term Commitment Increases; provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with this Agreement (except to the extent permitted by clauses (D) or (E) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, (A) the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Commitment Increases and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed the Incremental Cap and (B) no more than four such Term Commitment Increases and Revolving Commitment Increases, taken together, may be made during the term of this Agreement.
