have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the additional Obligations to be incurred pursuant to the Incremental D Term Loan Commitment shall constitute “Designated Senior Indebtedness” and “Senior Indebtedness” under the Senior Subordinated Note Documents, (w) the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the additional Obligations to be incurred pursuant to the Incremental D Term Loan Commitments are permitted by the terms of the outstanding Indebtedness of Holdings, the Borrower, the Co-Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries including, without limitation, the Second-Lien Credit Documents, the Senior Note Documents and the Senior Subordinated Note Documents, (x) all Incremental Commitment Request Requirements are satisfied, (y) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.23 shall have been satisfied, and (z) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental D Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied. Additionally, by the date of effectiveness of any Incremental D Term Loan Lender’s Incremental D Term Loan Commitment as set forth in an Incremental D Term Loan Commitment Agreement (or, in the case of the mortgage amendments and related title insurance policy endorsements, in each case, referred to below, such later date as may be otherwise agreed by the Collateral Agent), the Borrower shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, or caused to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, (i) fully executed counterparts of amendments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to each of the Mortgages covering the Mortgaged Properties, together with evidence that counterparts of each such amendment have been delivered to the title company insuring the Lien on the Mortgages for recording in all places to the extent necessary or desirable, in the judgment of the Collateral Agent, effectively to maintain a valid and enforceable perfected mortgage lien superior to and prior to the rights of all third parties (except Liens under Section 6.02) and subject to no other Liens except as are permitted by Section 6.02 on the Mortgaged Properties in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties securing all of the Obligations; (ii) to the extent reasonably required by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, endorsements to each lender’s title insurance policy required pursuant to Section 4.02(h)(iii) reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, insuring the Collateral Agent that each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first priority mortgage lien on the respective Mortgaged Properties, free and clear of all defects and encumbrances except Permitted Encumbrances; (iii) flood certificates covering each Mortgaged Property, in form and substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent, certified to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such and certifying whether or not each such Mortgaged Property is located in a flood hazard zone by reference to the applicable FEMA map; and (iv) to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Borrower covering matters incidental to such Incremental D Term Loan Commitment and related Incremental D Term Loan Commitment Agreement as shall be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental D Term Loan Commitment Agreement, and at such time, (i) the D Term Loans to be made pursuant to the respective Incremental D Term Loan Commitment Agreements shall be permitted to be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Incremental D Term Loan Commitment Agreements, (ii) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised D Term Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders and (iii) to the extent requested by any Incremental D Term Loan Lender, Notes will be issued at the Borrower’s expense, to

such Incremental D Term Loan Lender in accordance with Section 2.04(e) to the extent needed to reflect the additional D Term Loans made by such Incremental D Term Loan Lender.

(c) All D Term Loans made after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.23 (and the respective Incremental D Term Loan Commitment Agreements) that are deemed to be part of the same sub-Tranche as the existing D Term Loans hereunder shall be proportionally added to, and thereafter shall form part of, all then outstanding Borrowings of D Term Loans (with the effect being that all Lenders of D Term Loans of the same sub-Tranche, including the Lenders of D Term Loans then being made pursuant to this Section 2.23, shall have a percentage interest in each then outstanding Borrowing of D Term Loans which is the same as the percentage its aggregate outstanding principal of D Term Loans bears to the aggregate principal amount of all then outstanding D Term Loans of all Lenders). To the extent the provisions of this clause (c) require that Lenders make new D Term Loans which are added to (and deemed to form a part of) the then outstanding Borrowings of D Term Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new D Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Loans and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period). In connection therewith, the Borrower may agree, in the respective Incremental D Term Loan Commitment Agreement, to compensate the Lenders making the new D Term Loans for funding Eurodollar Loans during an existing Interest Period on such basis as may be agreed by such Borrower and the respective Lender or Lenders.”

23.

28. Section 6.01(v) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the text “$60,000,000” appearing in said Section with the text “$150,000,000”.
