For purposes hereof, Specified Representations means the representations and warranties set forth in the Term Sheet relating to corporate existence of the Credit Parties and good standing of the Credit Parties in their respective jurisdictions of organization; power and authority, due authorization, execution and delivery and enforceability, in each case, relating solely to the Credit Parties entering into and performance of the Financing Documentation; no conflicts with or consents under the Credit Parties organizational documents or applicable law, in each case, solely with respect to entering into and performance of the Financing Documentation; solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions) of the Borrower, the Acquired Company and their respective subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (it being agreed that solvency shall be determined in a manner consistent with the manner in which solvency is determined in the solvency certificate to be delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to the form of solvency certificate set forth in Annex C hereto; use of proceeds; Federal Reserve margin regulations; the Investment Company Act; the PATRIOT Act; OFAC; FCPA; laws relating to sanctioned persons; and subject to the parenthetical in the immediately preceding sentence, perfection, creation and validity of security interests in the Collateral; and the status of the Senior Credit Facilities and the guaranties thereof as senior debt (or equivalent term) and, to the extent applicable, designated senior debt (or an equivalent term).

Until the earlier of (i) the date that a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) is achieved and (ii) the date that is 60 days following the Closing Date (the Syndication Date), you agree to, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause appropriate members of management of the Acquired Company (to the extent practical and appropriate and not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement) to, assist us actively in achieving a syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities that is satisfactory to us and you.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter (including, the Term Sheet) or the Fee Letter and without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, none of the foregoing shall constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Senior Credit Facilities on the Closing Date.

Without limiting your obligations to assist with the syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the Commitment hereunder is not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Senior Credit Facilities and in no event shall the successful completion of the syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities constitute a condition to the availability of the Senior Credit Facilities on the Closing Date.

|
|
| ||
|
|
| (a) | 100% of the net cash proceeds (net of taxes attributable thereto, costs and expenses in connection therewith, repayments of debt secured by such asset or (in the case only of other permitted debt (if any) secured by equal and ratable liens on the Collateral) otherwise subject to mandatory prepayment as a result thereof (and limited, in the case of such other debt, to its proportionate share of such prepayment) and the amount of reserves established to fund contingent liabilities reasonably estimated to be payable and directly attributable thereto) of all asset sales, insurance and condemnation recoveries and other asset dispositions by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries (including the issuance by any such subsidiary of any of its equity interests) (subject to exceptions to be agreed) that are not re-invested (or committed to be reinvested) within 12 months and, if so committed, reinvested no later than 180 days after the end of such 12 month period (subject to threshold amounts per transaction and per fiscal year to be mutually agreed upon); and |
7
|
|
| (b) | 100% of the net cash proceeds of the issuance or incurrence of debt (other than any debt permitted to be issued or incurred pursuant to the terms of the Financing Documentation) by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| All such mandatory prepayments will be applied first, to prepay outstanding loans under the Term Loan A Facility and any Incremental Term Loans on a pro rata basis and second, to prepay outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility with no permanent reduction in the commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility. All such mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan A Facility and any Incremental Term Loans will be applied to the remaining scheduled amortization payments in the inverse order of maturity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time that the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00, all mandatory prepayments under clause (a) above shall be limited to the extent that the Borrower determines that such prepayment would result in adverse tax consequences related to the repatriation of funds or would be prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable law (e.g. financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant subsidiaries) or organizational document restrictions (including as a result of minority ownership). The non-application of any such mandatory prepayment amounts as a result of the foregoing sentence will not constitute a default or an event of default and such amounts shall be available for working capital purposes of the applicable foreign subsidiaries. The Borrower will undertake to use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of no greater than one year to overcome or eliminate any such restriction and/or minimize any such costs of prepayment and/or use the other cash resources of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (subject to the considerations above) to make the relevant payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments under clause (a) made after application of the above provision shall be net of any costs, expenses or taxes incurred by Borrower and its subsidiaries or any of its affiliates or equity partners and arising as a result of compliance with the preceding sentence.
Any Lender may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment (except in the case of paragraph (a) above). Any prepayment amount so declined may be retained by the Borrower. |
8
Optional Prepayments and Commitment Reductions: |
| Loans under the Senior Credit Facilities may be prepaid and unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility may be reduced at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Borrower, upon notice and in minimum principal amounts and in multiples to be agreed upon, without premium or penalty (except LIBOR breakage costs). Any optional prepayment of the Term Loan A Facility or any Incremental Term Loan Facility will be applied as directed by the Borrower. |

SCHEDULE I
INTEREST AND FEES
Interest: |
| At the Borrowers option, loans (other than Swingline Loans) 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 Interest Margin (as described below). The Base Rate is defined as the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 1/2 of 1%, (b) the prime commercial lending rate of the Administrative Agent, as established from time to time at its principal U.S. office (which such rate is an index or base rate and will not necessarily be its lowest or best rate charged to its customers or other banks) 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 day of each calendar quarter and (i) with respect to Base Rate Loans based on the Federal Funds Rate and LIBOR, shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days and (ii) with respect to Base Rate Loans based on the prime commercial lending rate of the Administrative Agent, 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 one business days notice and will be in minimum amounts to be agreed upon.
B. LIBOR Option
Interest will be determined for periods (Interest Periods) of one, two, three or six months (or twelve months if available and agreed to by all relevant Lenders) as selected by the Borrower and will be at an annual rate for Eurocurrency deposits for the corresponding deposits of U.S. dollars appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (LIBOR) plus the applicable Interest Margin (as described below). LIBOR will be determined by the 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 shall in no event be less than 0.0%. 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. |
1
|
| LIBOR Rate Loans will be made on three business days prior notice and, in each case, will be in minimum amounts to be agreed upon.
Swingline loans will bear interest at the Base Rate plus the applicable Interest Margin. |
|
|
|
Default Interest: |
| (a) Automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any payment event of default or upon a bankruptcy event of default of the Borrower or any other Credit Party or (b) at the election of the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the direction of Required Lenders), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other event of default, all outstanding principal, fees and other obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities shall bear interest at a rate per annum of 2% in excess of the rate then applicable to such loan (including the applicable Interest Margin), fee or other obligation and shall be payable on demand of the Administrative Agent. |
|
|
|
Interest Margins: |
| The applicable interest margins (the Interest Margins) will be determined in accordance with the applicable Pricing Grid set forth below. |
|
|
|
Commitment Fee: |
| A commitment fee (the Commitment Fee) will accrue on the unused amounts of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, with exclusions for Defaulting Lenders. Swingline loans will, for purposes of the Commitment Fee calculations only, not be deemed to be a utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility. Such Commitment Fee will be determined in accordance with the applicable Pricing Grid set forth below. All accrued Commitment Fees will be fully earned and due and payable quarterly in arrears (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 Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, letter of credit participation fees equal to the Interest Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, in each case, on the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. |
|
|
|
Other Fees: |
| The Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent will receive such other fees as will have been agreed in a fee letter among them and the Borrower. |
|
|
|
Pricing Grid: |
| The applicable Interest Margins and the Commitment Fee with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility shall be based on the Total Net Leverage Ratio (calculated net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Credit Parties held in accounts subject to the control of the Administrative Agent) pursuant to the following grid: |

Level |
| Total Net Leverage Ratio |
| Interest |
| Interest |

| 1.50 | % | 0.50 | % | 0.20 | % |
II |
| Greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 but less than 2.50 to 1.00 |
| 1.75 | % | 0.75 | % | 0.25 | % |

IV |
| Greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 |
| 2.25 | % | 1.25 | % | 0.35 | % |
|
| The applicable Interest Margins and the Commitment Fee shall initially be based on the greater of (a) Level II of the Pricing Grid and (b) the Level corresponding to the Total Net Leverage Ratio calculated on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Transactions as of the last day of the most recent quarter of the Borrower ended at least 45 days prior to the Closing Date, until the first calculation date following the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the financial information and related compliance certificate for the second full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date. |
