On the terms and subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof, each Exchanging Term Lender agrees that an aggregate principal amount of its Existing Term Loans (the “Exchanged Term Loans”) equal to the amount notified to such Exchanging Term Lender by the Administrative Agent will be (i) exchanged with New Term Loans pursuant to the Cashless Rollover Option or (ii) prepaid by the Borrower (and such Exchanging Term Lender will make a like principal amount of New Term Loans) pursuant to the Cash Settlement Option on the Second Amendment Effective Date, in either case as further described in such Exchanging Term Lender’s Lender Consent.

(b)           Agreement to Make Increased Term Loans and Additional Term Loans.

(d)           Breakage. The exchange, refinancing and prepayments contemplated by this Second Amendment shall be subject to compensation by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.11 of the Credit Agreement if the Second Amendment Effective Date occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating to the applicable Loans.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, the Borrower has established New Term Loans with Exchanging Term Lenders, Increasing Term Lenders and/or Additional Term Lenders; and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment, Additional Term Lenders may become Lenders pursuant to one or more Joinders.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

The New Term Lender hereby agrees to make New Term Loans in the amount notified to such Additional Term Lender by the Administrative Agent but not to exceed the amount set forth on its signature page hereto pursuant to and in accordance with the Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment.  The New Term Loans provided pursuant to this Joinder shall be subject to all of the terms in the Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment and to the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantee Obligations and security interests created by the Security Documents.  The New Term Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that the New Term Loans provided pursuant to this Joinder shall constitute Term Loans for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents.

By executing and delivering this Joinder, the New Term Lender shall be deemed to confirm as follows: (i) such New Term Lender has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Joinder and the Credit Agreement (ii) such New Term Lender confirms that it has received a copy of this Joinder, the Second Amendment and the Credit Agreement, and has received or has been accorded the opportunity to receive copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement, as applicable, and such other documents and information as it deems appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter

into this Joinder, the Second Amendment and the Credit Agreement; (iii) such New Term Lender will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Joinder, the Second Amendment and the Credit Agreement; (iv) such New Term Lender appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Joinder, the Second Amendment and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (v) such New Term Lender agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Joinder, the Second Amendment and the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as an Additional Term Lender.

Upon (i) the execution of a counterpart of this Joinder by the New Term Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and (ii) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a fully executed counterpart (including by way of telecopy or other electronic transmission) hereof, the New Term Lender shall become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, effective as of the Second Amendment Effective Date.

Delivered herewith by the New Term Lender to the Administrative Agent are such forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the New Term Lender may be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

This Joinder may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed and delivered on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

This Joinder is a “Loan Document.”

This Joinder, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof.

THIS JOINDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Joinder should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

This Joinder may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Joinder by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Joinder.
