Upon the reasonable request of the Commitment Parties, you will furnish, for no fee, to any Commitment Party an electronic version of your and your subsidiaries trademarks, service marks and corporate logos for use in marketing materials for the purpose of facilitating the syndication of the Facilities (the License); provided, however, that the License shall be used solely for the purpose described above and may not be assigned or transferred. You hereby authorize the Commitment Parties to download copies of the Borrowers trademark logos from its website and post copies thereof on the IntraLinks site, SyndTrack site or similar workspace established by the Lead Arranger to syndicate the Facilities and use the logos on any Confidential Information Memorandum, presentations and other marketing materials prepared in connection with the syndication of the Facilities or in any advertisements (to which you consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) that the Commitment Parties may place after the closing of any of the Facilities in financial and other newspapers and journals, or otherwise, at its own expense describing its services to the Borrower hereunder. Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth in this paragraph, we agree that we will not be released from our commitment hereunder with respect to the Facilities in connection with any syndication or assignment to any Lender unless (A) (i) you have consented to such syndication or assignment in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (ii) any such Lender has entered into customary amendment, restatement or joinder documentation (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Commitment Parties and you) with respect to this Commitment Letter committing to provide a portion of the Facilities (in which case our commitments hereunder shall be reduced at such time by an amount equal to the commitment assumed by such Lender or (B) such Lender shall have entered into the applicable Credit Documentation and funded the portion of the Facilities committed to be funded by it on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, your obligations to assist in syndication efforts as provided herein shall not constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date and it is understood that the Commitment Parties commitment with respect to the Facilities hereunder is not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the Facilities constitute a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date.
The Lead Arranger will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the syndication, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. You hereby acknowledge and agree that the Lead Arranger will have no responsibility other than as expressly set forth herein and in no event shall any Commitment Party be subject to any fiduciary or other similar or implied duties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

At the reasonable request of the Commitment Parties, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist in the preparation of a version of each Confidential Information Memorandum or other Information Material (a Public Version) consisting exclusively of information with respect to you and your subsidiaries, the Target and the Acquisition that is either publicly available or not material with respect to you and your affiliates, the Target, any of your securities or the Acquisition for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (such information, Non-MNPI). Such Public Versions, together with any other information prepared by you, your affiliates or representatives, or the Target or its representatives and conspicuously marked Public (collectively, the Public Information), which at a minimum means that the word Public will appear prominently on the first page of any such information, may be distributed by us to prospective Lenders who have advised us that they wish to receive only Non-MNPI (Public Side Lenders). You acknowledge and agree that, in addition to Public Information and unless you promptly notify us otherwise, (a) drafts and final definitive documentation with respect to the Facilities, (b) term sheets and administrative materials prepared by the Commitment Parties for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, allocations and funding and closing memoranda), (c) notifications of changes in the terms of the Facilities and (d) other materials intended for prospective Lenders after the initial distribution of Information Materials may be distributed to Public Side Lenders. You acknowledge that any Commitment Partys public-side employees and representatives who are publishing debt analysts may participate in any meetings held pursuant to clause (D) of the third preceding paragraph; provided that, such analysts shall not publish any information obtained from such meetings (i) until the syndication of the Facilities has been completed upon the making of allocations by the Lead Arranger and the Lead Arranger freeing the Facilities to trade or (ii) in violation of any confidentiality agreement between you and the relevant Commitment Party.
In connection with our distribution to prospective Lenders of any Confidential Information Memorandum and, upon our request, any other Information Materials, you will execute and deliver to us a customary authorization letter authorizing such distribution and, in the case of any Public Version thereof or other Public Information, representing that it only contains Non-MNPI. Each Confidential Information Memorandum will be accompanied by a disclaimer exculpating you and us with respect to any use thereof and of any related Information Materials by the recipients thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality binding on you or your affiliates; provided that (i) if permitted by law, you shall provide notice to the Lead Arranger that such information is being withheld pursuant to such law, rule, regulation or obligation of confidentiality if such notice can, in your good faith discretion, be provided in a manner that would not result in a violation thereof and (ii) at the request of any Commitment Party, you shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the relevant consents under such obligations of confidentiality to allow for the provision of such information.
4. Information
You hereby represent and warrant that (with respect to any information relating to the Target and its business, to your knowledge) (a) all written information (including all Information Materials), other than the Projections, budgets, forecasts, estimates and information of a general economic or industry specific nature (the Information), that has been or will be made available to us by you or, at your direction, by any of your representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, when taken as a whole, after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto provided through the date furnished, does not or will not, when furnished to us, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (when taken as a whole and after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto provided through the date furnished) and (b) the financial projections, budgets, forecasts, estimates and other forward-looking information (the Projections) that have been or will be made available to us by you or, at your direction, by any of your
5
representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time furnished to us (it being recognized by the Commitment Parties that (i) the Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material and (ii) the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies and no assurance can be given that the projected results will be realized). You agree that if, at any time prior to the later of (x) Closing Date and (y) the Syndication Date, any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be (to the best of your knowledge in respect of the Target and its business) incorrect in any material respect if the information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will (or, with respect to the Information and Projections relating to the Target and its business, to the extent not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement, will use commercially reasonable efforts to) promptly supplement, or cause to be supplemented, the Information and the Projections so that (with respect to Information and Projections relating to the Target and its business, to your knowledge) such representations will be correct in all material respects under those circumstances. You understand that in arranging and syndicating the Facilities we may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.
5. Fees

The Commitment Parties commitments and agreements hereunder with respect to the Facilities are subject solely to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Commitment Parties) of the conditions set forth in Exhibit D.
Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the definitive documentation for the Facilities (the Credit Documentation) to the contrary, (a) the only representations relating to you and your subsidiaries and the Target and their respective businesses the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date shall be (i) such of the representations made by or on behalf of the Target in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that the accuracy of any such representation is a condition to your (or any of your affiliates) obligations to consummate the Acquisition under the Acquisition Agreement or you (or any of your affiliates) have the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate your (or any of your affiliates) obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or to decline to consummate the Acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations in the Acquisition Agreement (the Acquisition Agreement Representations), and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (b) the terms of the Credit Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in Exhibit D, limited on the Closing Date as indicated therein, are satisfied (or waived by the Commitment Parties) (it being understood that, to the extent any collateral (including the grant or perfection of any security interest) referred to in the Term Sheet is not or cannot be provided on the Closing Date (other than the grant and perfection of security interests (i) in assets with respect to which a lien may be perfected solely by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) or (ii) in the certificated equity interests, if any, of the Borrower and its wholly owned material U.S. restricted subsidiaries (to the extent required by the Term Sheet) and of the Target, and to the extent delivered to you by the Target prior to the Closing Date (after your use of commercially reasonable
6
efforts to obtain such certificated equity interests), any wholly owned material U.S. restricted subsidiaries of the Target (to the extent required by the Term Sheet)) after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so without undue burden or expense, then the provision and perfection of such collateral shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability and initial funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date, but instead shall be provided after the Closing Date pursuant to arrangements to be mutually agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting reasonably). For purposes hereof, Specified Representations means the representations and warranties of the Borrower and Guarantors (collectively, the Loan Parties) referred to in the Term Sheets relating to corporate or other organizational existence, organizational power and authority of the Borrower and the Guarantors to enter into and perform the Credit Documentation, due authorization, execution and delivery by the Borrower and the Guarantors of, performance of, and enforceability against the Borrower and the Guarantors of, the Credit Documentation, effectiveness, validity and perfection of liens under the security documents (subject to permitted liens and the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence), no conflicts of the Credit Documentation with the organizational documents of the Borrower and the Guarantors, Investment Company Act, solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions) of the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (solvency to be defined in a manner consistent with the manner in which solvency is determined in the solvency certificate to be delivered pursuant to paragraph 1(b) of Exhibit D), Federal Reserve margin regulations, the PATRIOT Act and the use of proceeds of the Facilities not violating OFAC, FCPA and other anti-corruption laws and sanctions.

7
thereof under this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or (iii) any Proceeding between or among indemnified persons or their Related Persons other than the Commitment Parties in their respective capacities as such, or in capacities as Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or any other similar agent role and (b) to reimburse the Commitment Parties and their respective affiliates from time to time, within 30 days after receipt of a reasonably detailed written invoice therefor (or, if such invoice is received within three days of the Closing Date, on the Closing Date) (together with, if reasonably requested, documentation supporting such reimbursement request), for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to due diligence expenses, syndication expenses, travel expenses and the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel and of one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, in each case for the Commitment Parties and their affiliates, collectively)), in each case incurred in connection with the Facilities and any related documentation (including this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Credit Documentation) or the administration, amendment, modification, waiver or enforcement thereof. It is further agreed that each Commitment Party shall only have liability to you (as opposed to any other person) and that each Commitment Party shall be liable solely in respect of its own commitment to the Facilities on a several, and not joint, basis with any other Commitment Party. No indemnified person shall be liable for any damages, directly or indirectly, arising from the use by others of Information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, including, without limitation, SyndTrak, IntraLinks, the internet, email or similar electronic transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person (or any of its Related Parties). None of the indemnified persons or you, or any of your or their respective affiliates or the respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents or other representative of the foregoing or any successor or assign of the foregoing shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Facilities or the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit your indemnity obligations to the extent set forth in this Section 7. The foregoing provisions in this Section 7 shall be superseded, in each case, to the extent covered thereby, by the applicable provisions contained in the Credit Documentation upon execution thereof and thereafter shall have no further force and effect. As used above, Related Parties of any indemnified person means (1) any controlling person or controlled affiliate of such indemnified person, (2) the respective directors, officers or employees of such indemnified person or any of its controlling persons or controlled affiliates and (3) the respective agents, advisors and representatives of such indemnified person or any of its controlling persons or controlled affiliates, in the case of this clause (3), acting on behalf of or at the instructions of such indemnified person, controlling person or such controlled affiliate; provided that each reference to a controlling person, controlled affiliate, director, officer or employee in this sentence pertains to a controlling person, controlled affiliate, director, officer or employee involved in the structuring, arrangement, negotiation or syndication of this Commitment Letter and the Facilities. Provided that you are in compliance with your indemnification obligations under this Section 7, you shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding made by an indemnified person without your consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) but if settled with your consent or if there is a final judgment in any proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified person in accordance with this Section 7.
You shall not settle any such claim or action arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter without the prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, of such indemnified person unless such settlement provides for a full and unconditional release of all liabilities arising out of such claim or action against such indemnified person and does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified person.

8. Sharing of Information, Absence of Fiduciary Relationship, Affiliate Activities
You acknowledge that each Commitment Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. You further acknowledge that each Commitment Party (or any affiliate) is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services and such person may from time to time provide investment banking and other financial services to, and effect transactions for, its own or its affiliates account or the account of customers, and hold positions in loans, securities or options on loans or securities of you or your affiliates, of other companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter and of other companies with which you may have commercial or other relationships.

With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Commitment Party (or an affiliate) or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion. In addition, neither any Commitment Party nor any of its respective affiliates will use confidential information obtained from you or your affiliates or on your or their behalf by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby in connection with the performance by such Commitment Party and its affiliates of services for other companies or persons and neither any Commitment Party nor any of its affiliates will furnish any such information to any of its other customers.

Each Commitment Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arms length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Facilities (including in connection with determining the terms of the Facilities) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person. The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Commitment Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by any Commitment Party in connection with this Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Commitment Parties are not advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Commitment Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto. Any review by any Commitment Party of the Borrower, the Target, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of such Commitment Party and its affiliates, and shall not be on behalf of the Borrower. It is understood that this paragraph shall not apply to or modify or otherwise affect any arrangement with any financial advisor separately retained by you or any of your affiliates in connection with the Acquisition, in its capacity as such.

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 Borrower may defer the issuance of Exchange Notes until such time as the Borrower has received requests to issue |

(b) 100% of the net cash proceeds from any issuance of equity securities of, or from any capital contribution to the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries, subject to exceptions to be mutually agreed upon; 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 Borrower or any of its restricted 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.
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 Borrower pursuant to the securities demand provisions in the Fee Letter, the net cash proceeds received by the 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. |
|
|
|
Change of Control: |
| Upon any change of control (to be defined in the Bridge Loan Documentation), the Borrower will be required to prepay the entire principal amount of the Bridge Loans (plus any accrued and unpaid interest) at par.

C-3
|
| prepayment of the Bridge Loans. |

|
|
|
Conditions Precedent to Funding: |

Participations will be permitted without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.
