This Letter constitutes a supplement to the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and “customary joinder documentation” as contemplated by Paragraph 1 of the Commitment Letter and sets forth the agreement of the Initial Commitment Parties, the Companies, Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays” or, in its capacity as a joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner for the Term Facility, the “Joining Arranger”) and Barclays (in its capacity as an Initial Lender in respect of the Term Facility, the “Joining Lender” and, together with the “Joining Arranger”, collectively, the “Joining Party”) regarding the joinder of the Joining Party to the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter to act in the roles specified below and to provide the portion of the commitments under the Commitment Letter specified below and to be entitled to the applicable portion of the fees set forth in the Fee Letter on the terms set forth therein. The Companies agree that the Joining Party may perform its responsibilities hereunder through its affiliates. The Joining Arranger shall constitute an Additional Arranger under the Commitment Letter and Fee Letter, and, except with respect to the reduction of the commitments of the Initial Commitment Parties in connection with the joinder of any Additional Arranger pursuant to Paragraph 1 of the Commitment Letter, all references therein to “Commitment Parties”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “party”, “parties hereto” and like terms shall also constitute references to the Joining Party, and the execution of this Letter constitutes the appointment of an Additional Arranger referred to in the Commitment Letter.

1.    Titles and Roles; Commitments.

In connection with the foregoing, the Joining Arranger is pleased to confirm its willingness to act, and the Companies hereby appoint the Joining Arranger to act, as a joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner for the Term Facility, to provide the Borrower with structuring and syndication assistance in connection with the Term Facility on the terms contained in the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and subject solely to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Paragraph 5 of the Commitment Letter.

It is understood that in any offering and marketing materials and presentations, including confidential information memoranda, to be used in connection with the syndication of the Term Facility, (i) Bank of America and BofAS shall have “lead left” placement in any such offering and marketing materials and presentations and (ii) Barclays shall have right side placement (based on its aggregate percentage of economics) in any such offering and marketing materials and presentations.

Barclays hereby commits, severally and not jointly, to provide 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility on the terms contained in the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and subject solely to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Paragraph 5 of the Commitment Letter. The commitments of the Initial Commitment Parties set forth in Paragraph 1 of the Commitment Letter in respect of the Term Facility are hereby reduced to 54% for Bank of America and 36% for Royal Bank, respectively. The commitments of the Initial Commitment Parties and the Joining Lender in respect of the Term Facility shall be several and not joint.

2.    Compensation.

As consideration for the services of the Joining Arranger related to the Term Facility and the commitments of the Joining Lender in respect of the Term Facility, the Companies agree that the Joining Arranger shall be entitled to its pro rata share of any fees payable under the Fee Letter, in each case, in proportion to its allocated commitment in respect of the Term Facility hereunder on the date hereof, if and when any such fees become payable pursuant to the terms of the Fee Letter.
