For the avoidance of doubt, attached hereto as Schedule B is an example of the calculation of the Total Consideration.

2. Exchange and Sale of Notes. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement (waived by the party entitled to the benefit of such condition), the closing of the Exchange Transaction and the delivery of the Total Consideration (the “Closing”) shall occur on the closing date of the New Money Incremental Term Loans Transaction (as defined below) or the Alternative Incremental Term Loan Transactions, as the case may be, at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Four Times Square, New York, New York 10036, or such other time, date or location as agreed by the parties. The date on which the Closing occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.” Simultaneously, at the Closing (A) each Holder will electronically transfer (i) its portion of the Exchanged Notes (which shall be allocated among the Holders in such proportions to reflect the aggregate principal amount of Notes owned by each Holder as reflected on Schedule A) to an account at DTC identified by the Company in writing at least two business days prior to the Closing, and (ii) its portion of the Cash Notes (which shall be allocated among the Holders in such proportions to reflect the aggregate principal amount of Notes owned by each Holder as reflected on Schedule A) to an account at DTC identified by RCIV in writing at least two business days prior to the Closing and (B)(i) the Company will incur the New Money Incremental Term Loans or the Alternative Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, such incurrence to be made against delivery of the Exchanged Notes and (ii) RCIV will electronically deliver the Cash Consideration through DTC to the account identified in Section 2(a) hereof, such payment to be made immediately against delivery of the Cash Notes.

3. Accrued and Unpaid Interest and Other Payments Satisfied. Each Holder agrees that its receipt of the Total Consideration in the Exchange Transaction will satisfy in full all of the Company’s obligations to pay principal, interest and other payments to such Holder and all other amounts owed by the Company to such Holder arising out of or relating to the Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the closing date of the Exchange Transaction), and will release the Company from all such obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Exchange Transaction is consummated after October 15, 2009, the Holders will be entitled to and will receive payment-in-kind interest with respect to the Notes on such date.

4. New Money Second Lien Transaction. In the event the Company undertakes a new loan syndication on a broadly syndicated basis (the “New Money Incremental Term Loans Transaction”) in which at least $*CONFIDENTIAL million of second lien incremental term loans (the “New Money Incremental Term Loans”) under Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement are made by entities or persons other than: (i) the Guarantors, the Apollo Funds, Apollo Management, Apollo Global Management, LLC and their respective affiliates, and (ii) the Holders and their respective affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, such New Money Incremental Term Loans shall be in addition to the Exchange Consideration), the Holders hereby agree (in such proportions to reflect the aggregate principal amount of Notes owned by each Holder as reflected on Schedule A) to place a market order with the investment bank acting as the lead arranger (the “Lead Arranger”) to participate, at the Lead Arranger’s discretion, as a lender in the New Money Incremental Term Loans Transaction at the closing of such New Money Incremental Term Loans Transaction by lending cash in an amount up to $*CONFIDENTIAL (obligations under this paragraph 4, the “New Money Incremental Term Loans Transaction Obligation”) to be funded simultaneously with the receipt of the Cash Consideration by the Holders, and, subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions contained in the documentation related thereto and the performance by the Company and RCIV of their obligations as provided in Section 1 above, shall fund its portion of the New Money Incremental Term Loans at the closing of the New Money Incremental Term Loans Transaction based on the same terms and conditions as the other lenders in such New Money Incremental Term Loans Transaction (provided that the Holders shall not be required to undertake or agree to provide any additional capital, to undertake any additional economic obligation, to fund any capital call or to assume any liabilities); provided, however, that the Holders shall not be obligated under the New Money Incremental Term Loans Transaction Obligation if: (x) *CONFIDENTIAL, or (y) the Company or its affiliates shall have entered into an agreement, arrangement or understanding with holders of the Company’s unsecured notes with respect to the Debt Reduction Exchange Transaction.
