     Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the Initial Lenders’ commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Credit Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the Credit Facilities constitute a condition to the availability of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date. The Joint Arrangers intend to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter and as part of their syndication efforts, it is their intent to have Lenders commit to the Credit Facilities prior to the Closing Date (subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph). Until the earlier of (i) the date upon which a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter referred below) of the Credit Facilities is achieved and (ii) the 90th day following the Closing Date (the “Syndication Date”), you agree actively to assist the Joint Lead Arrangers in completing a timely syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to the Joint Lead Arrangers and you.

(“Moody’s”) and a public corporate credit rating and a public corporate family rating in respect of the Borrower (as defined in Exhibit B) after giving effect to the Transactions from each of S&P and Moody’s, respectively, (e) the hosting, with the Joint Lead Arrangers, of a reasonable number of meetings to be mutually agreed upon of prospective Lenders at times and locations to be mutually agreed upon (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause certain officers of the Company to be available for such meetings) and (f) there being no competing issues, offerings, placements or arrangements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of you, the Company or any of your or its subsidiaries being offered, placed or arranged (other than the Credit Facilities, the Notes (or any other debt securities issued to refinance the Bridge Facility in whole or in part) or any indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) without the consent of the Joint Lead Arrangers, if such issuance, offering, placement or arrangement could reasonably be expected to impair the primary syndication of the Credit Facilities or the offering of the Notes in any material respect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, the obtaining of the ratings referenced above shall not constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date.
     The Joint Lead Arrangers, in their capacities as such, will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of any syndication of the Credit Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (excluding Disqualified Lenders), the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. To assist the Joint Lead Arrangers in their syndication efforts, you agree to promptly prepare and provide (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to provide) to the Joint Lead Arrangers all customary information with respect to you, the Company and each of your and its respective subsidiaries and the Transactions, including all financial information and projections prepared by you (including financial estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information, the “Projections”), as the Joint Lead Arrangers may reasonably request in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the Credit Facilities.
     You hereby acknowledge that (a) the Joint Lead Arrangers will make available Information (as defined below), Projections and other offering and marketing material and presentations, including confidential information memoranda to be used in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities (the “Information Memorandum”) (such Information, Projections, other offering and marketing material and the Information Memorandum, collectively, with the Term Sheets, the "Information Materials”) on a customary confidential basis to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information Materials on Intralinks, Debt X, SyndTrak Online or by similar electronic means and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e. Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information (“MNPI”) with respect to you, the Company or its respective securities and who may be engaged in investment and other market related activities with respect to you or the Company or your or the Company’s respective securities) (each, a “Public Sider” and each Lender that is not a Public Sider, a “Private Sider”). You will be solely responsible for the contents of the Information

Materials and each of the Commitment Parties shall be entitled to use and rely upon the information contained therein without responsibility for independent verification thereof.
     You agree to assist (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to assist) us in preparing an additional version of the Information Materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities that consists exclusively of information of a type that is publicly available and/or does not include MNPI with respect to you or the Company or any of your or the Company’s respective subsidiaries for the purpose of United States federal and state securities laws to be used by Public Siders. The information to be included in the additional version of the Information Materials will be substantially consistent with the information that would be included in any offering memorandum for the offering of the Notes and in filings made by you or the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, you shall provide us with customary authorization letters for inclusion in any Information Materials that authorize the distribution thereof to prospective Lenders, represent that the additional version of the Information Materials does not include any MNPI and exculpate you, the Company and us with respect to any liability related to the use of the contents of the Information Materials or related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to identify that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to the Public Siders as “Public Information,” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof. By marking Information Materials as “PUBLIC,” you shall be deemed to have authorized the Commitment Parties and the proposed Lenders to treat such Information Materials as not containing any MNPI (it being understood that you shall not be under any obligation to mark the Information Materials “PUBLIC”).
     You acknowledge and agree that the following documents, without limitation, may be distributed to both Private Siders and Public Siders, unless you advise the Joint Lead Arrangers in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed to Private Siders: (a) administrative materials prepared by the Joint Lead Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda), (b) term sheets and notification of changes in the Credit Facilities’ terms and conditions, (c) drafts and final versions of the Senior Secured Facilities Documentation and the Bridge Facility Documentation and (d) publicly filed financial statements of MedAssets and its subsidiaries.

You agree that, if at any time from the date hereof until the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and the Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement the Information and the Projections such that such representations and warranties are correct in all material respects under those circumstances following such supplement. In arranging and syndicating the Credit Facilities, the Commitment Parties (i) will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof and (ii) do not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information or the Projections.

Transaction Description
     Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings set forth in the other Exhibits to the Commitment Letter to which this Exhibit A is attached (the “Commitment Letter”) or in the Commitment Letter. In the case of any such capitalized term that is subject to multiple and differing definitions, the appropriate meaning thereof in this Exhibit A shall be determined by reference to the context in which it is used.
     MedAssets intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”), directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock of Broadlane Intermediate Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).
     In connection with the foregoing, it is intended that:
a)   Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (together with all exhibits, schedules and disclosure letters thereto, collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) to be entered into with the Company and Broadlane Holdings, LLC (the “Seller”), MedAssets will acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company. Pursuant to the Acquisition, the Seller shall have the right to receive the consideration for its equity interests in the Company (the “Acquisition Consideration”) in accordance with the terms of, and subject to adjustment as provided in, the Purchase Agreement.
b)   MedAssets will obtain up to $750 million in senior secured first-lien loan facilities described in Exhibit B to the Commitment Letter (the “Senior Secured Facilities).
c)   MedAssets will (i) issue and sell senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) in a Rule 144A or other private placement on or prior to the Closing Date yielding up to $360 million in gross cash proceeds and/or (ii) if and to the extent that less than $360 million in Notes are issued on or prior to the Closing Date, up to $360 million of senior unsecured increasing rate loans (the “Bridge Loans”) under a senior unsecured credit facility described in Exhibit C to the Commitment Letter (the “Bridge Facility” and, together with the Senior Secured Facilities, the “Credit Facilities”) such that the aggregate face amount of outstanding Notes and the principal amount of the Bridge Loans does not exceed $360 million.
d)   All the existing third party indebtedness for borrowed money of MedAssets and the Company and their respective subsidiaries (which shall exclude existing capital leases and letters of credit and certain other indebtedness in an aggregate amount not to exceed $3 million that the Initial Lenders and MedAssets reasonably agree may remain outstanding after the Closing Date) will be refinanced or repaid, all commitments thereunder shall be terminated and all security interests therefor shall be released (the “Refinancing”).
e)   The proceeds of the Credit Facilities and/or the Notes and cash on hand at MedAssets and the Company on the Closing Date will be applied (i) to pay the Acquisition

    Consideration, (ii) to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions and (iii) to pay for the Refinancing (the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, collectively, the “Acquisition Costs”).
f)   MedAssets will have a deferred payment obligation to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Deferred Payment Obligation”) in an initial principal amount (if paid by the second business day following January 1, 2012 (the “Deferred Payment Date”)) of up to $125.0 million (subject to reduction as provided in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Deferred Payment Amount”). In the event the Deferred Payment Amount due is not paid on or prior to the Deferred Payment Date, and the Seller does not elect to exchange its rights to the Deferred Payment Obligation for common equity of MedAssets in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Deferred Payment Amount shall automatically be converted to a subordinated note (the “Deferred Payment Subordinated Note”) which Deferred Payment Subordinated Note shall (i) not mature earlier than 8 years and 6 months after the Closing Date, (ii) contain no financial maintenance covenants and contain negative covenants that are not more restrictive than those set forth in the Notes or the Exchange Notes (as defined in Exhibit C), as applicable, and otherwise contain terms and conditions, including, without limitation, covenants and transferability provisions, substantially identical to the Notes or the Exchange Notes, as applicable, and which shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors (as defined in Exhibit B) subject to equivalent subordination provisions to those set forth below, (iii) provide for no amortization or mandatory prepayments except to the extent such payments are permitted by the Senior Secured Facilities (as contemplated by Exhibit B) and the Bridge Facility, the Notes or Exchange Notes, as applicable, (iv) provide for no required cash interest payments in excess of 13% per annum (the “Deferred Payment Cash Cap”) of the principal amount thereof, (v) provide for total interest payments not to exceed 18% per annum (the “Total Deferred Payment Cap”) with MedAssets having the right to pay any amount of interest in excess of the Deferred Payment Cash Cap through an increase in the principal amount of the Deferred Payment Subordinated Note and (vi) provide for the subordination of all amounts owing (including principal, interest and other amounts) to all Senior Indebtedness (which shall be defined in a customary manner and, in any event, shall include the Senior Secured Facilities, the Bridge Loans, the Exchange Notes and the Notes) and Designated Senior Indebtedness (which shall be defined in a customary manner and include all obligations under the Senior Secured Facilities) on terms customary for recent 144A offerings of senior subordinated notes placed by the Arrangers; provided that such subordination terms shall not prevent the payment of any interest of up to the Total Deferred Payment Cap in excess of the Deferred Payment Cash Cap solely through the increase in the principal amount of the Deferred Payment Subordinated Note or the exercise of rights of set-off, indemnification or purchase price adjustment provided for in the Purchase Agreement.
The transactions described above (including the payment of Acquisition Costs) are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions1
     
Borrower:
  MedAssets, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MedAssets”).
 
   
Transaction:
  As set forth in Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter.
 
   
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent:
  Barclays Bank will act as sole administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, the “Administrative Agent”) for a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other entities (excluding any Disqualified Lender) (together with the Initial Senior Lenders, the “Lenders”), and will perform the duties customarily associated with such roles.
 
   
Joint Lead Arrangers:
  Barclays Capital and J.P. Morgan will act as joint lead arrangers (the “Lead Arrangers”) for the Senior Secured Facilities and each will perform the duties customarily associated with such roles.
 
   
Senior Secured Facilities:
 
(A) A senior secured first-lien term A loan facility (the “Term A Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million (the loans thereunder, the “Term A Loans”); provided that in the event the Borrower’s corporate credit ratings are less than Ba3(stable) from Moody’s and BB-(stable) from S&P on the Closing Date, the Term A Loans will be eliminated and the amount of the Term B Facility (as defined below) will be increased by $150.0 million.
 
   
 
 
(B) A senior secured first-lien term B loan facility (the “Term B Facilityand together with the Term A Facility, the “Term Facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million, subject to increase as provided above (the loans thereunder, the “Term B Loans” and together with the Term A Loans, the “Term Loans”).
 
1   All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given them in the Commitment Letter to which this Term Sheet is attached, including Exhibit A thereto.

B-1


 

     
 
 
(C) A senior secured first-lien revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facilities, the “Senior Secured Facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million. Lenders with commitments under the Revolving Facility are collectively referred to as “Revolving Lenders” and the loans thereunder, together with (unless the context otherwise requires) the swingline borrowings referred to below, are collectively referred to as “Revolving Loans”; and together with the Term Loans, the “Loans.
 
   
Swingline Loans:
  In connection with the Revolving Facility, Barclays Bank (in such capacity, the “Swingline Lender”) will make available to the Borrower a swingline facility under which the Borrower may make short-term borrowings upon same-day notice (in minimum amounts to be mutually agreed upon and integral multiples to be agreed upon) of up to $25 million. Except for purposes of calculating the commitment fee described below, any such swingline borrowings will reduce availability under the Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
 
   
 
  Upon notice from the Swingline Lender, the Revolving Lenders will be unconditionally obligated to purchase participations in any swingline loan pro rata based upon their commitments under the Revolving Facility.
 
   
 
  If any Lender becomes a “defaulting Lender,” then the swingline exposure of such defaulting Lender will automatically be reallocated among the non-defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their commitments under the Revolving Facility up to an amount such that the revolving credit exposure of such non-defaulting Lender does not exceed its commitments. In the event such reallocation does not fully cover the exposure of such defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender may require the Borrower to repay such “uncovered” exposure in respect of the swingline loans and will have no obligation to make new swingline loans to the extent such swingline loans would cause the exposure of the non-defaulting Lenders to exceed the commitments of the non-defaulting Lenders if such swingline loan was fully allocated to non-defaulting Lenders.
 
   
Incremental Facilities:
  The Senior Secured Facilities will permit the Borrower to add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the

B-2


 

     
 
  Senior Secured Facilities (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”) and/or increase commitments under the Revolving Facility (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Increase”) and/or add one or more incremental revolving credit facility tranches (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”; the Incremental Term Facilities, the Incremental Revolving Increases and the Incremental Revolving Facilities are collectively referred to as “Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate amount of up to $200 million; provided that (i) no existing Lender will be required to participate in any such Incremental Facility without its consent, (ii) no event of default under the Senior Secured Facilities would exist after giving effect thereto, (iii) on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Incremental Facility (and after giving effect to any acquisition consummated simultaneously therewith and all other appropriate pro forma adjustment events and assuming any Incremental Revolving Facility was fully drawn), the Borrower (x) is in compliance with the financial maintenance covenants in the Senior Secured Facilities Documentation (as defined below) and (y) has a Secured Leverage Ratio (to be defined) that is not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, in each case, recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial statements are available, (iv) the maturity date of any such Incremental Term Facility shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the Term B Facility and the weighted average life of such Incremental Term Facility shall be not shorter than the then remaining weighted average life of the Term B Facility and no portion of any Incremental Revolving Facility shall mature prior to the Revolving Facility, (v) in the case of an Incremental Revolving Increase, the maturity date of such Incremental Revolving Increase shall be the same as the maturity date of the Revolving Facility, such Incremental Revolving Increase shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facility and the Incremental Revolving Increase shall be on the exact same terms and pursuant to the exact same documentation applicable to the Revolving Facility, (vi) the interest rate margins and (subject to clause (iv)) amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder; provided that to the extent (a) the yield (to be defined to include all upfront fees and

B-3


 

     
 
  OID) on any Incremental Revolving Facility exceeds the yield on the Revolving Facility by more than 50 basis points, then the interest margins for the Revolving Facility, shall be increased to the extent required so that the yield for the Revolving Facility shall be 50 basis points less than the yield for such Incremental Facility and (b) the average annual amortization on any Incremental Term Facility (prior to the final year of maturity of such Incremental Term Facility) (i) is less than 5% per annum and the yield (to be defined to include all upfront fees and OID) on such Incremental Term Facility exceeds the yield on the Term B Facility by more than 50 basis points, then the interest margins for the Term B Facility shall be increased to the extent required so that the yield for the Term B Facility shall be 50 basis points less than the yield for such Incremental Facility and (ii) is 5% or more per annum and the yield (to be defined to include all upfront fees and OID) on such Incremental Term Facility exceeds the yield on the Term A Facility by more than 50 basis points, then the interest margins for the Term A Facility, shall be increased to the extent required so that the yield for the Term A Facility shall be 50 basis points less than the yield for such Incremental Facility, and (vii) any Incremental Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined; provided that, to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the Term Facilities (except to the extent permitted by clause (iv), (v) and (vi) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
 
   
 
  The Borrower may seek commitments in respect of the Incremental Facilities from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders or investors who will become Lenders in connection therewith (“Additional Lenders”); provided that the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank (as defined below) shall have consent rights (not to be unreasonably withheld) with respect to such Additional Lender, if such consent would be required under the heading “Assignments and Participations” for an assignment of loans or commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender).
 
   
Refinancing Facilities:
  The Senior Secured Facilities Documentation will permit the Borrower to refinance loans under the Term Facilities

B-4


 

     
 
  or commitments under the Revolving Facility from time to time, in whole or part, with one or more new term facilities (each, a “Refinancing Term Facility”) or new revolving credit facility (each, a “Refinancing Revolving Facility”; the Refinancing Term Facilities and the Refinancing Revolving Facilities are collectively referred to as “Refinancing Facilities”), respectively, under the Facilities Documentation with the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (and in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Facility, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender) and the institutions providing such Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility or with one or more additional series of senior unsecured notes or senior secured notes that will be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Senior Secured Facilities or second lien secured notes that will be secured on a “silent” subordinated basis to the Senior Secured Facilities and to the obligations under any senior secured notes, which will be subject to customary intercreditor arrangements (any such notes, “Refinancing Notes”); provided that (i) any Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Notes do not mature prior to the maturity date of, or have a shorter weighted average life than, loans under the Term B Facility being refinanced, (ii) any Refinancing Revolving Facility does not mature prior to the maturity date of the revolving commitments being refinanced and (iii) the other terms and conditions of such Refinancing Term Facility, Refinancing Revolving Facility or Refinancing Notes (excluding pricing and optional prepayment or redemption terms) are substantially identical to, or less favorable to the investors providing such Refinancing Term Facility, Refinancing Revolving Facility or Refinancing Notes, as applicable, than, those applicable to the Term Facilities or Revolving Facility being refinanced (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest final maturity date of the Term B Facility and revolving credit commitments existing at the time of such refinancing).
 
   
Purpose:
 
(A) The proceeds of borrowings under the Term Facilities will be used by the Borrower on the Closing Date, together with the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and/or incurrence of the Bridge Loans, the proceeds from borrowings under the Revolving Facility and cash on hand at the Company, solely to pay the Acquisition Costs.

B-5


 

     
 
 
(B) The letters of credit and proceeds of Revolving Loans (except as set forth below) will be used by the Borrower and its subsidiaries for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of permitted acquisitions, and to finance a portion of the Acquisition Costs (including to make payments in respect of the Deferred Payment Obligation and/or the Deferred Payment Subordinated Note to the extent contemplated below).
 
   
Availability:
 
(A) The Term Facilities will be available in a single drawing on the Closing Date. Amounts borrowed under the Term Facilities that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
 
   
 
 
(B) The Revolving Facility (exclusive of letter of credit usage) will be made available on the Closing Date to finance a portion of the Acquisition Costs, which portion shall be limited on the Closing Date to an amount sufficient to fund any OID or upfront fees required to be funded on the Closing Date pursuant to the “flex” provisions of the Fee Letter. Additionally, letters of credit in an amount to be mutually agreed upon may be issued on the Closing Date in order to, among other things, backstop or replace letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date under facilities no longer available to MedAssets or the Company or their respective subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. Otherwise, letters of credit and Revolving Loans will be available after the Closing Date at any time prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facility, in minimum principal amounts to be mutually agreed upon. Amounts repaid under the Revolving Facility may be reborrowed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Exhibit B, in no event shall any extension of credit be made under the Revolving Facility prior to the second business day following January 1, 2012 if, after giving effect thereto and to the application of proceeds therefrom, the amount of the undrawn commitments under the Revolving Facility plus unrestricted cash of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries would be less than the maximum potential amount of the Deferred Payment Obligation at such time (the “Minimum Liquidity Condition”).

B-6


 

     
Interest Rates and Fees:
  As set forth on Annex I to the Fee Letter.
 
   
Default Rate:
  With respect to overdue principal, the applicable interest rate plus, 2.00% per annum, and with respect to any other overdue amount (including overdue interest), the interest rate applicable to ABR loans (as defined in Annex I) plus 2.00% per annum and in each case, shall be payable on demand.
 
   
Letters of Credit:
  Up to $25 million of the Revolving Facility will be available to the Borrower for the purpose of issuing letters of credit. Letters of credit under the Revolving Facility will be issued by Barclays Bank and/or other Lenders (or designated affiliates of Barclays Bank or such other Lenders) reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each an “Issuing Bank”). Each letter of credit shall expire not later than the earlier of (a) 12 months after its date of issuance and (b) the fifth business day prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facility; provided that any letter of credit may provide for renewal thereof for additional periods of up to 12 months (which in no event shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b) above). The face amount of any outstanding letter of credit (and, without duplication, any unpaid drawing in respect thereof) will reduce availability under the Revolving Facility on a dollar-for dollar basis.
 
   
 
  Drawings under any letter of credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrower (whether with its own funds or with the proceeds of loans under the Revolving Facility) within one business day after notice of such drawing is received by the Borrower from the relevant Issuing Bank. The Revolving Lenders will be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to acquire participations in each letter of credit, pro rata in accordance with their commitments under the Revolving Facility, and to fund such participations in the event the Borrower does not reimburse an Issuing Bank for drawings within the time period specified above.
 
   
 
  If any Lender becomes a “defaulting Lender,” then the letter of credit exposure of such defaulting Lender will automatically be reallocated among the non-defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their commitments under the Revolving Facility up to an amount such that the

B-7


 

     
 
  revolving credit exposure of such non-defaulting Lender does not exceed its commitments. In the event that such reallocation does not fully cover the exposure of such defaulting Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank may require the Borrower to cash collateralize such “uncovered” exposure in respect of each outstanding letter of credit and will have no obligation to issue new letters of credit, or to extend, renew or amend existing letters of credit to the extent necessary that the exposure of the non-defaulting Lenders does not exceed the revolving commitments of the non-defaulting Lenders (if such participations were fully allocated to the non-defaulting Lenders), unless such “uncovered” exposure is cash collateralized to the Issuing Bank’s reasonable satisfaction.
 
   
Final Maturity and Amortization:
  (A) Term A Facility.
 
   
 
  The Term A Loans will mature on the date that is five years after the Closing Date and will amortize in quarter installments prior to such time resulting in aggregate annual amortization (expressed as a percentage of the original principal amount of Term A Loans borrowed) as set forth below:
 
   
 
  Year 1: 2.5%
 
   
 
  Year 2: 15.0%

B-8


 

     
 
  outstanding Term B Loans upon the request of the Borrower and without the consent of any other Lender on terms to be agreed.
 
   
 
 
(C) Revolving Facility
 
   
 
  The Revolving Facility will mature, and lending commitments thereunder will terminate, on the date that is five years after the Closing Date; provided that the Senior Secured Facilities Documentation shall provide the right of individual Lenders to agree to extend the maturity of such Lender’s Revolving Commitments (which may include an increase in the interest rate and undrawn fees payable with respect to such extended Revolving Commitments) upon the request of the Borrower and without the consent of any other Lender.
 
   
Guarantees:
  Subject to the Closing Date Conditions Provision, all obligations of the Borrower (the “Borrower Obligations”) under the Senior Secured Facilities and under any interest rate protection or other swap or hedging arrangements or cash management arrangements entered into with a Lender, the Administrative Agent or any affiliate of a Lender or the Administrative Agent (“Hedging/Cash Management Arrangements”) will be unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured first-lien basis (the “Guarantees”) by each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned restricted subsidiary of the Borrower (the “Guarantors”), provided that Guarantors shall not include, (a) unrestricted subsidiaries, (b) immaterial subsidiaries (to be defined in a mutually acceptable manner as to individual and aggregate revenues or assets excluded), (c) any subsidiary that is prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation from guaranteeing the Senior Secured Facilities or which would require governmental (including regulatory) consent, approval, license or authorization to provide a Guarantee unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received or which would result in adverse tax consequence to the Borrower or one of its subsidiaries as a result of the operation of Section 956 of the IRS Code and (d) not-for-profit subsidiaries, if any.
 
   
 
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsidiaries may be excluded from the guarantee requirements in circumstances where the Borrower and the Administrative

B-9


 

     
 
  Agent reasonably agree that the cost of providing such a guarantee is excessive in relation to the value afforded thereby.
 
   
Security:
  Subject to the limitations set forth below in this section and subject to the Closing Date Conditions Provision, the Borrower Obligations, the Guarantees and the Hedging/Cash Management Arrangements will be secured by: (a) a perfected pledge of the equity securities of each direct wholly-owned restricted subsidiary of the Borrower and of each subsidiary Guarantor (limited in the case of foreign subsidiaries to 65% of the equity securities of such subsidiaries) and (b) perfected, security interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible personal property and material fee-owned real property of the Borrower and each subsidiary Guarantor (including but not limited to accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles (including contract rights), investment property, intellectual property, material fee-owned real property, material intercompany notes and proceeds of the foregoing) (the items described in clauses (a) and (b) above, but excluding the Excluded Assets (as defined below), collectively, the “Collateral”).
 
   
 
  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Collateral shall exclude the following: (i) any fee-owned real property with a fair market value of less than an amount to be agreed and all leasehold interests (including requirements to deliver landlord lien waivers, estoppels and collateral access letters), (ii) motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title, letter of credit rights (except to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing of uniform commercial code financing statements) and commercial tort claims with a value of less than an amount to be agreed, (iii) pledges and security interests prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation; (iv) equity interests in any person other than wholly owned restricted subsidiaries to the extent not permitted by the terms of such subsidiary’s organizational or joint venture documents; (v) assets to the extent a security interest in such assets would result in adverse tax consequences (including as a result of the operation of Section 956 of the IRS Code) (it being understood that the Lenders shall not require the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries to enter into any security agreements or pledge agreements governed under foreign law); (vi) any lease, license or other agreement or any property subject to a purchase

B-10


 

     
 
  money security interest or similar arrangement to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein would violate or invalidate such lease, license or agreement or purchase money arrangement or create a right of termination in favor of any other party thereto (other than the Borrower or a Guarantor) after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the Uniform Commercial Code notwithstanding such prohibition and (vii) those assets as to which the Administrative Agent and the Borrower reasonably agree that the cost of obtaining such a security interest or perfection thereof are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security to be afforded thereby (the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) are, collectively, the “Excluded Assets”). In addition, in no event shall control agreements or control or similar arrangements be required with respect to deposit or securities accounts.
 
   
 
  All the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages shall be created on terms to be set forth in the Senior Secured Facilities Documentation; and none of the Collateral shall be subject to other pledges, security interests or mortgages (except permitted liens) and other, exceptions and baskets to be set forth in the Senior Secured Facilities Documentation.
 
   
Mandatory Prepayments:
  Loans under the Term Facilities shall be prepaid with:
 
   
 
 
(A) commencing with the first full fiscal year of the Borrower to occur after the Closing Date, 50% of Excess Cash Flow (to be defined in a manner reasonably acceptable to you and the Initial Senior Lenders but to include a deduction for permitted payments of the Deferred Payment Obligation from internally generated cash flow prior to the second business day after January 1, 2012), with step-downs to 25% upon achievement of a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (the, “Total Leverage Ratio”) equal or less than a level to be agreed upon and to 0% upon achievement of a Total Leverage Ratio equal or less than a level to be agreed upon; provided that, in any fiscal year, any voluntary prepayments of loans under the Term Facilities and loans under the

B-11


 

     
 
 
Revolving Facility to the extent commitments thereunder are permanently reduced by the amount of such prepayments, other than prepayments funded with the proceeds of incurrences of indebtedness, shall be credited against excess cash flow prepayment obligations on a dollar-for-dollar basis for such fiscal year;
 
   
 
 
(B) 100% of the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property by the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries (including (x) insurance and condemnation proceeds and sale leaseback proceeds and (y) to the extent not actually applied to repay amounts outstanding under the Bridge Facility, the net cash proceeds received after the Closing Date from any disposition of assets required to be undertaken pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Purchase Agreement (a “Required Divestiture”)) subject, except in the case of proceeds of a Required Divestiture, to the right of the Borrower to reinvest 100% of such proceeds within 12 months and, if so committed to be reinvested, so long as such reinvestment is actually completed within 180 days thereafter, and other exceptions to be set forth in the Senior Secured Facilities Documentation; and
 
   
 
 
(C) 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances of debt obligations of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries after the Closing Date (other than debt permitted under the Senior Secured Facilities Documentation).
 
   
 
  Mandatory prepayments shall be applied, without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the Lenders’ redeployment costs in the case of a prepayment of Adjusted LIBOR borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period, on a pro rata basis to the Term A Facility and the Term B Facility and to the scheduled installments of principal under each such facility in direct order of maturity.
 
   
 
  Any Lender may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment (each a “Declining Lender”). Any prepayment amount declined by a Declining Lender, may be retained by the Borrower.

B-12


 

     
 
  The loans under the Revolving Facility shall be prepaid and the letters of credit cash collateralized to the extent such extensions of credit exceed the amount of the commitments under the Revolving Facility.
 
   
Voluntary Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments:
  Voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Facility commitments and voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the Senior Secured Facilities will be permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts to be mutually agreed upon, without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the Lenders’ redeployment costs in the case of a prepayment of Adjusted LIBOR borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any optional reduction in the amount of commitments under the Revolving Facility be permitted prior to the second business day following January 1, 2012 unless after giving effect thereto the Minimum Liquidity Condition would be satisfied.
 
   
 
  All voluntary prepayments of the Term A Facility, Term B Facility and any Incremental Term Facility will be applied to the remaining amortization payments under such facility, in any case, as directed by the Borrower (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity thereof); provided that the Term B Facility may not be prepaid on a greater amount than pro rata basis with the Term A Facility.
 
   
Call Premium:
  In the event all or any portion of the Term B Facility is repaid, repriced or effectively refinanced through any amendment of the Term B Facility which results in reduction in the weighted average yield prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (other than in connection with a refinancing in full of the Senior Secured Facilities in connection with a “change of control”), such repayments (or repricings or effective refinancings) will be made at (i) 101.0% of the principal amount repaid (or repriced or effectively refinanced) if such repayment (or repricing or effective refinancing) occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) at par thereafter.

No unrestricted subsidiary that is redesignated as a restricted subsidiary may subsequently be designated as an unrestricted subsidiary.

B-20


 

     
 
  Unrestricted subsidiaries will not be subject to the representation and warranties, affirmative or negative covenant or event of default provisions of the Senior Secured Facilities Documentation and the results of operations and indebtedness of unrestricted subsidiaries will not be taken into account for purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Senior Secured Facilities Documentation. When designated as an unrestricted subsidiary, each such unrestricted subsidiary, in the aggregate with all unrestricted subsidiaries previously designated (at the time of designation thereof) that continue to be unrestricted subsidiaries, shall not constitute more than a percentage to be agreed of (x) pro forma EBITDA of the Borrower and it subsidiaries for the four-quarter period ended immediately prior to the date of such designation and (y) the pro forma total assets of the Borrower and its subsidiaries at the time of such designation.

  For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with below par offers to prepay Loans, the Facilities Documentation may be amended in order to modify any provision relating to pro rata sharing of payments among the Lenders with the consent of Lenders holding more than 50% of the advances and commitments under each of the Term Facilities and the Revolving Facility. In the event that any provision relating to pro rata sharing of payments among the Lenders is modified in favor of any class of Lenders holding loans with a maturity date longer than the maturity date of the Revolving Facility, the Term A Facility or the Term B Facility, a majority vote of the Lenders under the Facilities directly and adversely affected thereby shall be required.
 
   
 
  The Senior Secured Facilities Documentation shall contain customary provisions for replacing non-consenting Lenders in connection with amendments and waivers requiring the consent of all Lenders or of all Lenders directly affected thereby so long as Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the loans and commitments under the Senior Secured Facilities shall have consented thereto.
 
   
Cost and Yield Protection:
  The Senior Secured Facilities Documentation will include customary tax gross-up, cost and yield protection provisions.

B-22


 

     
 
  bankruptcy Event of Default or (ii) with respect to any Term Loans, if such assignment is an assignment to another Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an approved fund and (B) no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required with respect to assignment of any Term Loans, if such assignment is an assignment to another Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an approved fund. Each assignment (other than to another Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an approved fund) will be in an amount of an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in the case of the Term Facilities and $5,000,000 in the case of the Revolving Facility (or lesser amounts, if agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) or, if less, all of such Lender’s remaining loans and commitments of the applicable class. Assignments will be by novation and will not be required to be pro rata among the Senior Secured Facilities. The Administrative Agent shall receive a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment (it being understood that such recordation fee shall not apply to assignments by the Initial Senior Lenders in connection with the initial syndication of the Senior Secured Facilities). For any assignments for which the Borrower’s consent is required, such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within 5 business days of a request for such consent.
 
   
 
  The Lenders will be permitted to sell participations in loans and commitments without restriction in accordance with applicable law.

B-23


 

     
 
       (ii) for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of the Senior Secured Facilities Documentation or any plan of reorganization that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliated Lender in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as non-affiliated Lenders voting on such matter;
 
   
 
       (iii) Affiliated Lenders may not purchase Revolving Loans;
 
   
 
       (iv) the amount of Term Loans purchased by Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 20% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans; and
 
   
 
       (v) Affiliated Lenders may not purchase Term Loans at any time they have material non public information with respect to the Borrower.

Ranking:
  The Initial Bridge Loans will rank pari passu with the Senior Secured Facilities and other senior indebtedness of the Borrower.

  The Borrower will also be required to offer to prepay the Initial Bridge Loans following the occurrence of a change of control (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Applicable Bond Standard (as defined below) and in any event not less favorable to the Borrower than the definition in the Senior Secured Facilities Documentation)) at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repayment.
 
   
Optional Prepayment:
