Each New Term Loan Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the exhibits thereto, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any other New Term Loan Lender or any other Lender or Agent 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 the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a New Term Loan Lender.

Subject to Section 10, each New Term Loan Lender hereby agrees that its New Term Loan Commitment and Series A New Term Loans will be made on the following terms and conditions:

1.                                      Terms Generally.  Other than as set forth herein, for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the Series A New Term Loans shall have the same terms as the Initial Term Loans, but shall be designated and treated as a different Class of Term Loans than the Initial Term Loans. The Series A New Term Loans shall rank equal in right of payment and of security with the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement.

6.                                      Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments.  Scheduled installments of principal of the Series A New Term Loans set forth above shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Series A New Term Loans in accordance with Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the Credit Agreement, respectively. The Series A New Term Loans shall be treated for purposes of voluntary and mandatory prepayments (including any applicable prepayment fees and for scheduled principal payments) as a different Class of Term Loans than the Initial Term Loans. Each mandatory prepayment required by Section 5.2(a) of the Credit Agreement shall be applied pro rata among each Class of Term Loans.

7.                                      Upfront Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each New Term Loan Lender as of the Effective Date, an upfront fee in an amount equal to 0.30% of the aggregate principal amount of all Series A New Term Loans funded by the New Term Loan Lenders on the Effective Date (the “Upfront Fees”).  All Upfront Fees shall be payable in full on the Effective Date in immediately available funds.
