WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement, the Company may request additional Term Commitments (and elect to create a new tranche of term loans in respect of such additional commitments), and may invite Eligible Assignees to become Term Lenders in respect of such commitments pursuant to a joinder agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Joinder Lenders make Additional Term Loans under a new tranche of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000.

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

1. Term B Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Joinder Lender party hereto severally agrees to make, on the Additional Commitments Effective Date (as defined below), a single loan under a new tranche of term loans (each, a “Term B Loan”) in Dollars to the Company in an amount equal to the commitment amount set forth next to such Joinder Lender’s name in Schedule 1 hereto under the caption “Term B Commitment” (collectively, the “Term B Commitments”). For purposes hereof, (x) any Lender that has a Term B Commitment or Term B Loan is referred to as a “Term B Lender”, (y) the aggregate amount of the Term B Commitments or the Term B Loans at any time is referred to as the “Term B Facility” and (z) this Joinder Agreement shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” under the Credit Agreement.

2. Interest.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Credit Agreement to the contrary, subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(b) of the Credit Agreement, (i) each Term B Loan that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to (A) the greater of (1) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period and (2) 1.50%, plus (B) the Applicable Margin (as defined below) plus (C) (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost and (ii) each Term B Loan that is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to (A) the highest of (1) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (2) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by JPMCB as its “prime rate” and (3) 1.00% plus the greater of (I) the Eurocurrency Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) and (II) 1.50%, plus (B) the Applicable Margin.

(b) The “Applicable Margin” for each Term B Loan shall mean, as of any date of determination, 3.75% per annum in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, and 2.75% per annum in the case of a Base Rate Loan.

3. Principal Payments. The Company shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Term B Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Term B Loans outstanding in quarterly installments as follows (which installments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.06(b)(iv)): (i) on or prior to the last day of each March, June, September and December (starting with December 31, 2010) that occurs prior to the Term B Maturity Date (as defined herein), an aggregate amount equal to 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of all Term B Loans made on the Additional Commitments Effective Date and (ii) on the Term B Maturity Date, an aggregate amount equal to all Term B Loans outstanding on such date.

4. Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments. Scheduled installments of principal of the Term B Loans set forth above shall be reduced in connection with any optional or mandatory prepayments of the Term B Loans in accordance with Section 2.06 of the Credit Agreement.

5. Prepayment Fee.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all optional prepayments of the Term B Loans effected on or prior to the first anniversary of the Additional Commitments Effective Date with the proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance or incurrence of new term loans (excluding a refinancing of all the facilities outstanding under the Credit Agreement in connection with a Change of Control) (“New Term Loans”) shall be accompanied by a prepayment

fee equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of such prepayments if the Lower Yield Condition (as defined below) is met. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any mandatory prepayment of the Term B Loans with the proceeds of New Term Loans that are not permitted by Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be an optional prepayment for purposes of this Section 5(a) of this Joinder Agreement.

(b) For purposes hereof, in respect of any New Term Loans, the “Lower Yield Condition” shall be met if the initial yield on the New Term Loans (as determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Eurocurrency Rate on the New Term Loans, (y) the difference (if positive ) between any LIBOR floor and the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to the New Term Loans and (z) if the New Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the lenders making the same receive a fee in lieu thereof (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the New Term Loans, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of 4 and the average life to maturity of the New Term Loans)) is less than the sum of (A) the Applicable Margin then in effect for the Term B Loans, (B) if there is a LIBOR floor applicable to the New Term Loans, the difference (if positive) between any LIBOR floor and the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to the Term B Loans at such time and (C) the initial OID applicable to the Term B Loans, divided by 4. For purposes of clauses (x) and (y) of this definition, it is understood and agreed that the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to the New Term Loans shall be deemed to be equal to the Eurocurrency Rate then applicable to the Term B Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 11.01(f) of the Credit Agreement, in the event that the Credit Agreement is amended at any time on or prior to the date that is one year after the Additional Commitments Effective Date and such amendment to the Credit Agreement reduces or, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, could have the effect of reducing, the Applicable Margin or the LIBOR floor applicable to the Term B Loans, the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Term B Lender (whether or not such Term B Lender consents to such amendment) a fee in an amount equal to 1% of such Lender’s Term B Loans outstanding on the effective date of such amendment. Notwithstanding Section 11.01(a) of the Credit Agreement, this Section 5(c) of this Joinder Agreement shall not be waived, amended or modified without the written consent of each Term B Lender adversely affected thereby.

6. Maturity Date. The Term B Loans will mature and be payable in full on July 18, 2016 (the “Term B Maturity Date”).
