Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter, in the fee letter dated the date hereof from the Commitment Parties to you (the “Fee Letter”) and in each of the other fee letters dated the date hereof from one or more of the Commitment Parties to you (collectively with the Fee Letter, the “Fee Letters”), (a) Wells Fargo Bank, JPMorgan and GS are pleased to advise you of their respective commitments to provide to the Parent Borrower 100% of the principal amount of (i) the Incremental Term Loan A or (ii) the New Senior Credit Facilities, as applicable (the “Bank Commitment”) and (b) Wells Fargo Bank, JPMorgan and GS are pleased to advise you of their respective commitments to provide to the Parent Borrower 100% of the principal amount of the Bridge Facility (the “Bridge Commitment” and, together with the Bank Commitment, the “Commitments”).

In addition to the foregoing, the Commitment Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite consents for the Amendments. It is understood and agreed that, except as expressly provided herein, this Commitment Letter shall not be construed to impose any obligation upon the Commitment Parties or any of their respective affiliates to ensure that the Best Efforts Amendments will become effective.
2.    Titles and Roles.

(d)    You will engage one or more investment banks satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers (collectively, the “Investment Bank”) to publicly sell or privately place the Notes and you will provide to the Investment Bank and the Lead Arrangers, during the entirety of the Compliance Period (as defined in Annex C hereto), a preliminary offering memorandum or preliminary private placement memorandum (collectively, an “Offering Document”) suitable for use in a customary high-yield road show relating to the issuance of the Notes, which contains all audited and unaudited historical and pro forma financial statements and other data to be included therein (including other financial data of the type and form customarily included in offering memoranda for a Rule 144A offering) (which financial statements and other data, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall require financial information otherwise required by Rule 3-05 (other than the financial statements of the Acquired Company), Rule 3-09, Rule 3-10 (other than customary guarantor and non-guarantor information with respect to sales, EBITDA, liabilities and/or assets, but not of the Acquired Company) and Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X or “segment reporting” for the Acquired Company or any

SCHEDULE I TO ANNEX A
INTEREST AND FEES ON
SENIOR CREDIT FACILITIES

Interest:
At the relevant Borrower’s option, loans (other than Swingline Loans and loans denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars) will bear interest based on the Base Rate or LIBOR, as described below:
A. Base Rate Option
Interest will be at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (as defined below). The “Base Rate” is defined as the highest of (a) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), plus 1/2 of 1%, (b) the U.S. prime commercial lending rate published by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” and (c) the daily LIBOR (as defined below) for a one month Interest Period (as defined below) plus 1%. Interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last business day of each January, April, July and October and on the Maturity Date and shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365/366 days. Any loan bearing interest at the Base Rate is referred to herein as a “Base Rate Loan”.
Base Rate Loans will be made on same business day notice and will be in minimum amounts substantially the same as set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement.
B. LIBOR Option
Interest will be determined for periods (“Interest Periods”) of one, two, three or six months (or such other period that is twelve months or less requested by the Parent Borrower and consented to by all relevant Lenders) as selected by the Parent Borrower and will be at an annual rate for Eurocurrency deposits for the corresponding deposits of the relevant currency administered by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (or any applicable successor quoting service) (“LIBOR”) plus the Applicable Rate. LIBOR will be determined by the Bank Administrative Agent at the start of each Interest Period and, other than in the case of LIBOR used in determining the Base Rate, will be fixed through such period. Interest will be paid on the last day of each Interest Period or, in the case of Interest Periods longer than three months, every three months, and will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. LIBOR will be adjusted for maximum statutory reserve requirements (if any) and in no event shall be less than 0%. Any loan bearing interest at LIBOR (other than a Base Rate Loan for which interest is determined by reference to LIBOR) is referred to herein as a “LIBOR Rate Loan”.
LIBOR Rate Loans will be made on three business days’ prior notice (or such longer period as provided in the Existing Credit Agreement) and, in each case, will be in minimum amounts substantially the same as set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement.
Swingline Loans will bear interest at a rate to be mutually agreed between the Parent Borrower and the Swing Line Lender.
Loans denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars will bear interest at LIBOR plus the Applicable Rate.
The Senior Credit Documentation will contain provisions to be mutually agreed with respect to a replacement LIBOR Rate.
Default Interest:
To be substantially as set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement.
Interest Margins:
The applicable interest margins (the “Applicable Rate”) will be:
(a) in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, 1.400% for LIBOR Rate Loans and 0.400% for Base Rate Loans; and
(b) in the case of the Term Loan Facilities, 1.750% for LIBOR Rate Loans and 0.750% for Base Rate Loans;
provided that after the date on which the Parent Borrower will have delivered financial statements and a compliance certificate for the first full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date, the Applicable Rate with respect to the Senior Credit Facilities will be determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid set forth below.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Best Efforts Amendments described under this heading are not obtained, the applicable interest rate margins for the Senior Credit Facilities (including, without limitation, the Incremental Term Loan A Facility and the New Senior Credit Facilities) will be the interest rate margins set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement.
Facility Fee:
A facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) will accrue on the full amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, regardless of usage, with exclusions for Defaulting Lenders. Such Facility Fee will initially be 0.350% per annum and after delivery of financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date will be determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid set forth below. All accrued Facility Fees will be fully earned and due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last business day of each January, April, July and October (calculated on a 360-day basis) for the account of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and will accrue from the Closing Date.
Letter of Credit Fees:
The Parent Borrower will pay to the Bank Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, letter of credit participation fees equal to the Applicable Rate for LIBOR Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, in each case, on the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. The Parent Borrower will pay to each L/C issuer with respect to Letters of Credit a fronting fee to be agreed upon by the Parent Borrower and such L/C issuer.
Other Fees:
The Lead Arrangers and the Bank Administrative Agent will receive such other fees as will have been agreed in a fee letter among them and the Parent Borrower.
Pricing Grid:
The Applicable Rate and the Facility Fee shall be based on the Leverage Ratio pursuant to the following grid:

Grief, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent Borrower”).
Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners:

Bridge Administrative Agent:
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (in such capacity, the “Bridge Administrative Agent”).
Bridge Loans:
Unsecured senior credit facility (the “Bridge Facility”) consisting of bridge loans (the “Bridge Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $700.0 million, minus the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, if any, issued on or prior to the Closing Date (including pursuant to an escrow arrangement).
Use of Proceeds:
The proceeds of the Bridge Loans will be used, together with the Senior Credit Facilities and the proceeds of the Notes, if any, issued on or prior to the Closing Date (including pursuant to an escrow arrangement), solely to finance (a) the Acquisition, (b) the Refinancing and (c) the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions.
Availability:
The Bridge Facility will be available only in a single draw of the full amount of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date. Amounts borrowed under the Bridge Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
Documentation:
The documentation for the Bridge Loans will include, among other items, a bridge loan agreement, guarantees and other appropriate documents, including an exhibit with the form of the indenture in connection with the issuance of any Exchange Notes (as defined below) as contemplated below (collectively, the “Bridge Loan Documentation”), all on terms consistent with this Bridge Term Sheet. The Bridge Loan Documentation will contain such other terms as are usual and customary for bridge loan agreements for comparably rated companies in a similar industry, consistent with the operational requirements of the Parent Borrower and its subsidiaries in light of their size, cash flow, industry business, business practices and operations and with such modifications to reflect the Transaction and market conditions as of the Closing Date. The Bridge Loan Documentation will contain customary high yield covenants, events of default and financial definitions, with basket sizes, exceptions and other modifications as shall be determined by the Lead Arrangers in light of prevailing market conditions on the Closing Date but, except as otherwise set forth herein, in no event shall any of the foregoing be inconsistent with or more restrictive than as set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement. The provisions of this paragraph are referred to as the “Bridge Documentation Principles.”
Ranking:
The Bridge Loans and the Guarantees thereof will be unsecured senior debt of the Parent Borrower and the Guarantors, pari passu with all other unsecured senior debt of the Parent Borrower and the Guarantors.
Guarantors:
Same guarantors as the guarantors for the Senior Credit Facilities (each a “Guarantor”; and its guarantee is referred to herein as a “Guarantee”). The Parent Borrower and the Guarantors are herein referred to collectively as the “Credit Parties” and each a “Credit Party.”

Interest:
Interest rates and fees in connection with the Bridge Loans and the Exchange Notes will be as specified in the Fee Letter and on Schedule I attached hereto.
Maturity/Exchange:
The Bridge Loans will mature on the date (the “Initial Maturity Date”) that is twelve months after the Closing Date. If any Bridge Loan has not been repaid in full on or prior to the Initial Maturity Date, subject to payment of the Bridge Rollover Fee (as defined in the Fee Letter) and unless (i) the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries is subject to a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding or (ii) there exists a default in the payment when due at final maturity of any indebtedness (of an amount consistent with the terms of the Senior Loan Documentation) of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, or the maturity of such indebtedness shall have been accelerated, the Bridge Loans will automatically be converted into term loans (each, an “Extended Term Loan”) due on the date that is 8 years after the Closing Date. The Extended Term Loans will be governed by the provisions of the Bridge Loan Documentation and will have the same terms as the Bridge Loans except as expressly set forth on Schedule II hereto.
Lenders under the Extended Term Loans will have the option at any time or from time to time to receive exchange notes under an indenture (the “Exchange Notes”) in exchange for such Extended Term Loans having the terms set forth on Schedule III hereto; provided that the Parent Borrower may defer the issuance of Exchange Notes until such time as the Parent Borrower has received requests to issue an aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes equal to at least $100 million.
Mandatory Prepayment:
The Parent Borrower will be required to prepay the Bridge Loans on a pro rata basis, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest with:
(a)    100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and/or any other indebtedness (other than the Senior Credit Facilities) by the Parent Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, subject to exceptions to be mutually agreed upon in accordance with the Bridge Documentation Principles;
(b)    100% of the net cash proceeds from any issuance of equity securities of, or from any capital contribution to, the Parent Borrower or any of its subsidiaries in excess of amounts required to be paid to the Lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities, subject to exceptions to be mutually agreed upon in accordance with the Bridge Documentation Principles; and
(c)    100% of the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales, insurance proceeds and condemnation recoveries and other asset dispositions by the Parent Borrower or any of its subsidiaries in excess of amounts either reinvested in accordance with the Senior Credit Facilities or required to be paid to the Lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities, subject to exceptions to be mutually agreed upon in accordance with the Bridge Documentation Principles.
Each such prepayment will be made together with accrued interest to the date of prepayment, but without premium or penalty (except breakage costs related to prepayments not made on the last day of the relevant interest period).
In the event any Bridge Lender or affiliate of a Bridge Lender purchases Securities (as defined in the Fee Letter) from the Parent Borrower pursuant to the securities demand provisions in the Fee Letter, the net cash proceeds received by the Parent Borrower in respect of such Securities may, at the option of such Bridge Lender or affiliate, be applied first to prepay the Bridge Loans of such Bridge Lender or affiliate rather than pro rata (provided that if there is more than one such Bridge Lender or affiliate then such net cash proceeds will be applied pro rata to prepay the Bridge Loans of all such Bridge Lenders or affiliates in proportion to such Bridge Lenders’ or affiliates’ principal amount of Securities purchased from the Borrower) prior to being applied to prepay the Bridge Loans held by other Bridge Lenders.
In addition, notwithstanding anything in the Commitment Letter (or any Annex thereto) to the contrary (but subject to the applicable terms of the Senior Credit Documentation), the net cash proceeds of the issuance or incurrence of debt by the Parent Borrower or any of its subsidiaries shall be applied to prepay the Bridge Facility prior to any prepayment under the Senior Credit Facilities.
Change of Control:
Upon any change of control (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), the Parent Borrower will be required to prepay the entire principal amount of the Bridge Loans (plus any accrued and unpaid interest) at par.
