PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

(1) The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the other agents and lenders party thereto are parties to the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of April 3, 2007 (the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the same meanings as specified in the Credit Agreement.

(2) The Company has requested that the Incremental Term Lender provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (and Incremental Term Loans consisting of Other Term Loans) in the amount of $1,400,000,000 (such commitments, together, the “Term D Loan Commitments” and such Incremental Term Loans, the “Term D Loans”), and the Incremental Term Lender is willing to provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and Incremental Term Loans, subject in each case to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(3) The Loan Parties, the Incremental Term Lender and the Administrative Agent are entering into this Agreement in order to evidence the Term D Loan Commitments and Term D Loans in accordance with Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 1. New Commitments and New Loans. Pursuant to Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof:

(a) The Incremental Term Lender agrees to make a single loan to the Borrower on the Effective Date in a principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth with respect to the Incremental Term Lender on Schedule 1 hereto (with respect to the Incremental Term Lender, its “Term D Loan Commitment”).

(b) The Administrative Agent hereby approves of the Incremental Term Lender as an Incremental Term Lender under the Credit Agreement and approves of the terms of the Term D Loans as set forth in Section 2 hereof.

SECTION 2. Terms of the Term D Loans. Pursuant to Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement, the Term D Loans shall be Other Term Loans, the terms of which shall be as follows:

(a) The aggregate amount of the Term D Loans and Term D Loan Commitments shall be $1,400,000,000.00.

(b) The Incremental Term Facility Maturity Date with respect to the Term D Loans shall be the date that is seven years following the Effective Date.


(c) The amortization schedule relating to the Term D Loans shall be as set forth on Annex A attached hereto.

(d) The Applicable Margin with respect to the Term D Loans shall be 2.50% per annum in the case of any Eurocurrency Loan that is a Term D Loan and shall be 1.50% for any ABR Loan that is a Term D Loan.

(e) Solely for the purposes of calculation of interest payable in respect of Term D Loans, the term “ABR” shall mean, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Credit Suisse as its “prime rate” at its principal office in New York, New York and (c) 2.00%. Any change in such rate announced by Credit Suisse shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of such change.

(f) Solely for the purposes of calculation of interest payable in respect of Term D Loans, the term “LIBO Rate” shall mean, with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing for any Interest Period, the greater of (a) 1.00% per annum and (b) the rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (“BBA LIBOR”), as published by Bloomberg (or other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, for Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period) with a term equivalent to such Interest Period; provided, that if such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the “LIBO Rate” for such Interest Period shall be the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent to be the rate at which deposits in Dollars for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period in same day funds in the approximate amount of the Eurocurrency Loan being made, continued or converted by Credit Suisse and with a term equivalent to such Interest Period would be offered by Credit Suisse’s London Branch to major banks in the London interbank eurocurrency market at their request at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Credit Agreement to the contrary, in the event that, on or prior to the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date, there occurs any Repricing Event or in connection with a Repricing Event constituting an amendment or conversion of Term D Loans, any Incremental Term Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is required to assign its Term D Loans pursuant to Section 2.19(c) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall on the date of such Repricing Event pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Incremental Term Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with such Term D Loans that are subject to such Repricing Event or are required to be so assigned, a fee equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of the Term D Loans subject to such Repricing Event or required to be so assigned; provided that any prepayment of any Term D Loans made in connection with a Change in Control shall not require the payment of the 1.00% premium otherwise provided for in this paragraph.

For purposes of this Section 2(g), “Repricing Event” shall mean any prepayment or repayment of Term D Loans with the proceeds of, or any conversion or amendment of Term D Loans into, any new or replacement tranche of term loans bearing interest with an “effective yield” (taking into account, for example, upfront fees, interest rate spreads, interest rate benchmarks floors and original interest discount, but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all

 

2


lenders or holders of such new or replacement loans and without taking into account any fluctuations in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or comparable rate) less than the “effective yield” applicable to the Term D Loans (as such comparative yields are determined consistent with generally accepted financial practices) (it being understood that (x) in each case, the yield shall exclude any structuring, commitment and arranger fees or other fees unless such similar fees are paid to all lenders generally in the primary syndication of such new or replacement tranche of term loans and shall include any rate floors and any upfront or similar fees paid to all lenders generally in the primary syndication of such new or replacement tranche of term loans or original issue discount payable with respect to such new or replacement tranche of term loans and (y) any such repayment, prepayment or conversion shall only constitute a Repricing Event to the extent the primary purpose of such repayment, prepayment, conversion or amendment, as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith, is to reduce the “effective yield” on the Term D Loans).

(h) Effective with respect to the Term D Loans as and from the date upon which no amounts of principal or interest with respect to the Term C Loans are outstanding:

(i) The following definition shall be inserted in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement in alphabetical order:
