WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Lender, and the Administrative Agent are parties to an Amended & Restated Loan Agreement (PF) dated as of August 12, 2014 (as amended, amended and restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “A&R Loan Agreement”);

WHEREAS, (a) the Borrowers, the Lender, and the Administrative Agent have agreed to amend certain provisions of the A&R Loan Agreement as more specifically set forth herein and (b) the Other Administrative Agent has agreed to consent to such amendments as more specifically set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used in this Fourth Amendment but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the A&R Loan Agreement.
SECTION 2. Required Lender.
The Lender holds 100% of the Outstanding Amount and the aggregate unused Commitments under the A&R Loan Agreement and thus constitutes the Required Lender for purposes of the A&R Loan Agreement and this Fourth Amendment.
SECTION 3. A&R Loan Agreement Amendment.
In accordance with Section 15.1.1 of the A&R Loan Agreement and, with respect to the Administrative Agent and the Other Administrative Agent, Section 3.4(c)(i) of the A&R Intercreditor Agreement, and in each case subject to the terms set forth herein, as of the date hereof, the Required Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Other Administrative Agent and each Borrower hereby agree to amend the A&R Loan Agreement as follows:
| i. | Section 1.1 to the A&R Loan Agreement is amended as follows: |
| a. | by adding the following definition in alphabetical order: |
““Amendment” means any amendment, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Other Loan Facility).”
| b. | by deletion of the definition of “Base Rate” in its entirety and replacement with the following: |
““Base Rate” means for any day a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its “prime rate,” and (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%; and if the Base Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement. The “prime rate” is a rate set by Bank of America based upon various factors including Bank of America’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some loans, which may be priced at, above, or below such announced rate. Any change in such prime rate announced by Bank of America shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of such change.”
| c. | by adding the following definition in alphabetical order: |
““Borrower Amendment Request” means a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or Lender (whether in writing or otherwise) to amend, modify or supplement any of the terms or conditions of, or to add additional provisions to, any Loan Document.”
| ii. | The A&R Loan Agreement is amended by adding a new Section 3.2.4 as follows: |
“3.2.4 Amendment Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent an amendment fee with respect to each Borrower Amendment Request as set forth in Section 15.1.4”

a. The execution, delivery and performance by such Borrower of this Fourth Amendment, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) violate in any material respect (A) any provision of any Applicable Law with respect to such Related Borrower Party, (B) any of the Organizational Documents of any Related Borrower Party, or (C) any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on any Related Borrower Party; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (immediately or upon the giving of notice) a default in any material respect under any Contractual Obligation of any Related Borrower Party; (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any material Lien upon any of the properties or assets of any Related Borrower Party (other than any Liens permitted by or created under any of the Loan Documents in favor of Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties); or (iv) require any approval of stockholders, members or partners or any approval or consent of any Person under any Contractual Obligation of any Related Borrower Party;
b. Such Borrower is duly authorized to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Fourth Amendment. The execution, delivery and performance of this Fourth Amendment has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnerships, as applicable, action on the part of such Borrower;
c. This Fourth Amendment is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; and
iv. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), from and after the effective date of this Fourth Amendment, each Borrower and each Agent shall treat (and the Lender hereby authorizes the Agents to treat) the A&R Loan Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

SECTION 5. Effect of Fourth Amendment.
The amendment set forth herein is limited as written, is effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of or consent to, or modification of in any respect, any other term or condition in the A&R Loan Agreement or any of the documents referred to herein or therein. The terms and provisions set forth in each Loan Document are hereby ratified and confirmed by each Borrower in all respects. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the execution, delivery and performance of this Fourth Amendment by the Administrative Agent and of the Lender does not and shall not create (nor shall Borrowers or any Related Borrower Subsidiary rely upon the existence of or claim or assert that there exists) any obligation of the Lender and the Administrative Agent to consider or agree to any amendment of or waiver or consent with respect to any of the Loan Documents, or any other instrument or agreement to which the Administrative Agent or the Lender is a party (collectively an “Amendment or Consent”), and in the event that the Administrative Agent or the Lender subsequently agrees to consider any requested Amendment or Consent, neither the existence of this Fourth Amendment, nor any other conduct of the Administrative Agent or the Lender related hereto, shall be of any force or effect on the Administrative Agent’s or the Lender’s consideration or decision with respect to any such requested Amendment or Consent, and the Administrative Agent and the Lender shall not have any obligation whatsoever to consider or agree to any such Amendment or Consent.

Wherever possible, each provision of this Fourth Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law.

SECTION 8. Counterparts; Electronic Signatures.
This Fourth Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of a signature page of this Fourth Amendment by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.
