“Converting Dollar Term B-1 Lender” means each Dollar Term B-1 Lender that has executed a counterpart to this Amendment No. 1 specifying that such Dollar Term B-1 Lender is electing to convert the entire aggregate principal amount of its outstanding Dollar Term B-1 Loan to a Dollar Term B-2 Loan on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date pursuant to Section 2 of this Amendment No. 1 Effective Date.
“Converted Dollar Term B-1 Loan” means each Dollar Term B-1 Loan held by a Converting Dollar Term B-1 Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment No. 1.

The Term B-2 Loans established pursuant to this Section 2 shall be identical to the Dollar Term B-2 Loans made pursuant to the Second Incremental Amendment (the “Existing Dollar Term B-2 Loans”) and shall form a single Class of Term Loans with the Existing Dollar Term B-2 Loans for all purposes of the Credit Agreement. The Dollar Term B-2 Loans made pursuant to this Section 2 shall initially be in the form of a pro rata increase in the amount of each outstanding Borrowing of Existing Dollar Term B-2 Loans. The Additional Dollar Term B-2 Lender shall make the amount of its Dollar Term B-2 Loan available to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in Dollars and immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to the Borrower in accordance with the funding instructions provided in the Committed Loan Notice referred to in Section 4 of this Amendment No. 1. The Lenders party hereto waive the requirement that the Borrowing of Dollar Term B-2 Loans in connection with this Amendment No. 1 be a multiple of the listed amount under Section 2.02(a) of the Credit Agreement.
(b)    Without duplication of required payments pursuant to Section 2(d) of the Second Incremental Amendment, pursuant to Section 2.07(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Dollar Term B-2 Lenders (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such day following the Incremental Effective Date, an aggregate principal amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Dollar Term B-2 Loans borrowed pursuant to Section 2(b) of Second Incremental Amendment and pursuant to Section 2(a) of this Amendment No. 1 on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (as such repayment amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement); provided that at the time of any effectiveness of any Term Loan Extension Amendment with respect the Dollar Term B-2 Loans, the scheduled amortizations with respect to the Dollar Term B-2 Loans set forth above shall be reduced ratably to reflect the percentage of Dollar Term B-2 Loans converted to Extended Term Loans (but will not affect the amount of amortization received by a given Dollar Term B-2 Lender with outstanding Dollar Term B-2 Loans)

and (ii) on the Maturity Date applicable to the Existing Dollar Term B-2 Loans, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Dollar Term B-2 Loans outstanding on such date.
(c)    All other terms applicable to the Dollar Term B-2 Loans made or converted pursuant to this Amendment No. 1 shall be identical to the terms of the Dollar Term B-2 Loans made pursuant to the Second Incremental Amendment.
(d)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may provide the notice of the borrowing to the Administrative Agent required under Section 2.02(a) of the Credit Agreement by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, in the form of Exhibit A to this Incremental Agreement, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time (i) one (1) Business Day prior to the funding if the Dollar Term B-2 Loans pursuant to this Amendment No. 1 are to initially be Base Rate Loans and (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the funding if the Dollar Term B-2 Loans pursuant to this Amendment No. 1 are initially to be Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(e)    The Borrower shall prepay all Dollar Term B-1 Loans that are not Converted Dollar Term B-1 Loans on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such Dollar Term B-1 Loans to, but not including, the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date.
