Required Terms. The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Commitments or the Incremental Revolving Credit Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, of any Class shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Incremental providing such Incremental Commitments, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not consistent with the Initial Term Loans, Initial Term B-1 Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, each existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date, shall be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (except for covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) (it being understood that to the extent any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of # Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Commitments, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any of the to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of each Facility remaining outstanding after the effectiveness of such Incremental Amendment or # Incremental Revolving Credit Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any of the to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Facility that then benefits from a financial maintenance covenant and is remaining outstanding after the effectiveness of such Incremental Amendment). In any event:

All terms (including, without limitation, maturity, amortization, pricing, prepayment, etc.) of any Incremental Term Loans shall be as set forth in a separate incremental agreement among the Borrower, the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and the Administrative Agent, the execution and delivery of which incremental agreement shall be a condition to the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loans. If the Borrower incurs Incremental Revolving Commitments under this Section, the Borrower shall, after such time, repay and incur Revolving Loans ratably as between the Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Commitments outstanding immediately prior to such incurrence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.2, the Administrative Agent is expressly permitted to amend the Loan Documents to the extent necessary to give effect to any increase pursuant to this Section and mechanical changes necessary or advisable in connection therewith (including amendments to implement the requirements in this [Section 2.23(d)], amendments to ensure pro rata allocations of Eurodollar Loans and Base Rate Loans between Loans incurred pursuant to this Section and Loans outstanding immediately prior to any such incurrence and amendments to implement ratable participation in Letters of Credit).

Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings, the Borrowers, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment (provided that no Lender shall be obligated to provide any loans or commitments under any Incremental Facility unless it so agrees), if any, each Additional Lender, if any, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender. Incremental Term Loans and loans under Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be a “Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Incremental Facility Amendment may without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, appropriate or advisable (including changing the amortization schedule of existing Term Loans in a manner required to make the Incremental Term Loans fungible with such Term Loans), in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this [Section 2.20] (including, in connection with an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, to reallocate Revolving Exposure on a pro rata basis among the relevant Revolving Lenders). Holdings may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

Section # Incremental Credit Extensions. (a) Incremental Commitments. The Borrowers may, at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent from the Lead Borrower (an “Incremental Loan Request”), request # one or more new commitments which may be in the same Facility as any outstanding Term Loans of an existing Class (a “Term Loan Increase”) or a new Class of Term Loans (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”, collectively with any Term Loan Increase, the “Incremental Term Commitments”) and/or # one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments or any Incremental Revolving Facility (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) or the establishment of one or more new revolving credit commitments (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and collectively with any Incremental Term Facility, an “Incremental Facility” and any such new commitments, collectively with any Revolving Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments” and the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, collectively with any Incremental Term Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the . Incremental Commitments and Incremental Loans shall be # secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the Initial Term Loans, # secured by the Collateral on a junior lien basis to the Liens securing the Initial Term Loans or # unsecured or not secured by the Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the Initial Term Loans.

The terms and conditions of any Incremental Revolving Commitment and Loans and other extensions of credit to be made thereunder shall be identical to those of the Revolving Commitments and Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder (including the Tranche under which such Incremental Revolving Commitment is being effected), and shall be treated as a single Class with such Revolving Commitments and Loans under such Tranche. The terms and conditions of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement, identical to those of the Tranche A Term Loan Commitments and the Tranche A Term Loans; provided that # the interest rate margins with respect to any Incremental Term Loans shall be as agreed by and [[Organization A:Organization]] in respect thereof, # any Incremental Term Loan shall have terms, in ’s reasonable judgment, customary for a term loan of such type under then-existing market convention, # subject to [clause (ii) above], the amortization schedule with respect to any Incremental Term Loans shall be as agreed by and [[Organization A:Organization]] in respect thereof, provided that the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche A Terms Loans and Incremental Term Loans with the longest remaining weighted average life to maturity, # no Incremental Term Maturity Date with respect to Incremental Term Loans shall be earlier than the Tranche A Term Loan Maturity Date, # except as set forth above (or otherwise customary for Incremental Term Loans of such type), the Incremental Term Loans shall be treated no more favorably than the Tranche A Term Loans (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to the establishment of such Incremental Term Loans; provided further that any Incremental Term Loans may add additional covenants or events of default not otherwise applicable to the Tranche A Term Loans or covenants more restrictive than the covenants applicable to the Tranche A Term Loans in each case prior to the Latest Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to the establishment of such Incremental Facility so long as all [[Organization A:Organization]] receive the benefits of such additional covenants, events of default or more restrictive covenants (unless such additional covenants, events of default or more restrictive covenants are customarily limited to term loans of the type of such Incremental Term Loans), # to the extent the terms applicable to any Incremental Term Loans are inconsistent with the terms applicable to the Tranche A Term Loans (except, in each case, as otherwise permitted pursuant to this paragraph (b)), such terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to [[Administrative Agent:Organization]], # any Incremental Term Loans shall have the same Guarantees as, shall rank pari passu with respect to the Liens on the Collateral and in right of payment with the Loans (except to the extent that the related Incremental Facility Agreement provides for such Incremental Term Loans to be treated less favorably, in which case such Incremental Term Loans shall be subject to a customary intercreditor agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to [[Administrative Agent:Organization]]), (viii), in the case of Incremental Term Loans marketed as term “B” loans to institutional investors (“Incremental Term B Loans”), any Incremental Term Loan Amendment with respect to Incremental Term B Loans may # include such features as are, in the reasonable judgment of and [[Administrative Agent:Organization]], customarily applicable to such type of loans (including but not limited to the ability to do refinancing amendments, extensions/loan modification offers and repurchases of such Incremental Term B Loans and limitations on the applicability of financial covenants to such Incremental Term B Loans) and # may provide for additional Collateral hereunder so long as such Collateral is shared on a pari passu basis with the Loans, # any [[Organization A:Organization]] holding Incremental Term B Loans may agree in advance pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment to certain modifications to the negative (but not financial maintenance) covenants set forth in Article VI hereof so long as such modifications shall not be applicable under this Agreement until such time as, and to the extent that, the Required [[Organization A:Organization]] (calculated without giving effect to [[Organization A:Organization]] holding such Incremental Term B Loans) have otherwise approved such modifications. Any Incremental Term Loan Commitments established pursuant to an Incremental Facility Agreement that have identical terms and conditions, and any Incremental Term Loans made thereunder, shall be designated as a separate series (each a “Series”) of Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall there be more than five (5) maturity dates in respect of the Credit Facilities (including any Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Facilities).

Incremental Amendment. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment to be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment), under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, any Loan Party organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof, that may be designated as a borrower in respect thereof (if any), each Incremental Lender providing such Commitments and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Loan Party, Agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this ‎Section 2.14. The Borrower (or any Loan Party organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof, that may be designated as a borrower in respect thereof) will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, unless it so agrees.

Section # Incremental Credit Extensions. (a) Incremental Commitments. The Borrower may, at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Incremental Loan Request”), request # one or more new commitments which may be in the same Facility as any outstanding Term Loans of an existing Class (a “Term Loan Increase”) or a new Class of Term Loans (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”, collectively with any Term Loan Increase, the “Incremental Term Commitments”) and/or # one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class or any Incremental Revolving Facility (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) or the establishment of one or more new revolving credit commitments (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and collectively with any Incremental Term Facility, an “Incremental Facility” and any such new commitments, collectively with any Revolving Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments” and the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, collectively with any Incremental Term Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the .

The terms of any Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be the same as those of the Revolving Commitment or any Extended Commitment; provided that any Replacement Revolving Commitment may have a later maturity date than, and pricing and fees different from, those applicable to the Revolving Commitment and Extended Commitment.

The terms and conditions of any Loans and Commitments pursuant to any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be the same as those of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of the Class that is being increased and shall be treated as a single Class with such Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans; provided that any interest margins, commitment fees, pricing and rate floors applicable to any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase may exceed the interest margins, commitment fees, pricing and rate floors payable with respect to the Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as amended through the date of such calculation, in which case the Applicable Rate and/or the fee payable pursuant to [Section 2.12(a)], in each case as in effect for the other Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, shall be automatically increased to eliminate such excess (it being understood that additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the [[Organization A:Organization]] participating in such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase without any requirement to pay such amounts to any existing Revolving [[Organization A:Organization]]). The terms and conditions of any Incremental Term Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder shall be set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement; provided that # no Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date shall be earlier than the latest Maturity Date then in effect, # the scheduled amortization and optional or mandatory prepayment terms and provisions, including in respect of the allocations of payments to or within any such Class of any such Incremental Term Loans shall be based on current market terms at the time of incurrence thereof, # no Incremental Term Loan shall be secured, and # any other terms shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the [[Organization A:Organization]] providing such Incremental Term Loans; provided that no Incremental Term Loan shall be subject to a restrictive covenant not previously provided for in this Agreement unless this Agreement is amended to include such restrictive covenant for the benefit of all [[Organization A:Organization]].

except as otherwise provided in this [Section 2.16], any Incremental Term Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be agreed between the Borrower and the applicable lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility; provided that such terms either # reflect (as determined by the Borrower in good faith and the Administrative Agent acting reasonably) market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or effectiveness or # are not materially more restrictive (excluding fees, original issue discount, interest rates, rate floors, spread adjustments, call premiums, and optional and mandatory prepayment and redemption terms) than the terms under those in the Revolving Credit Facility when taken as a whole and, in each case, as reasonably determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (except for covenants or other provisions # applicable only to periods after the latest final maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility or # as are incorporated into this Agreement for the benefit of all existing Lenders (which may be accomplished without further amendment voting requirements)).
