If at any time any Converted Term Loan Financing Document shall include any term or condition (including, without limitation, pricing, covenants, events of default and prepayment events, but excluding tenor), not set forth in the Financing Documents or that would be more beneficial to the Lenders than any analogous provision contained in this Agreement (any such term or condition, an “Additional Provision”), then the Borrower shall substantially concurrently with (and on the same date on which such Additional Provision becomes effective under the Converted Term Loan) provide written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent setting forth a description in reasonable detail of such Additional Provision. Thereupon, unless waived in writing by the Required Lenders within five days of receipt of such notice by the Required Lenders, such Additional Provision (and any related definitions) shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis (including any grace period, if applicable, with respect thereto), as if set forth fully herein, without any further action required on the part of any Person, effective as of the date when such Additional Provision became effective under the Converted Term Loan. Thereafter upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing any of the foregoing.

Section 5.17 Amendments under the Bridge Loan Guarantee. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend, as promptly as reasonably practicable, the Bridge Loan Guarantee to provide that, in the event that any obligation under the Bridge Loan Guarantee is not paid in full by the date the Borrower is required to pay such obligation pursuant to the terms thereof (the “reference date”), (a) all cash collateral posted pursuant to clause (xiv) of the definition of the term “Permitted Encumbrances” shall be applied towards the payment of the Borrower’s obligations under the Bridge Loan Guarantee and (b) all remaining outstanding Indebtedness of the Borrower under the Bridge Loan Guarantee shall, effective on the reference date, be automatically converted (without need of consent of any lender thereof or any other action by any party thereto) into a term loan facility of the Borrower maturing on the third anniversary of the reference date and having an average life to maturity greater than 18 months, which converted term loan shall not exceed an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$90,000,000 (the “Converted Term Loan”) (the definitive documentation evidencing such amendments, the “Converted Term Loan Financing Documents”).”

(f) Section 6.6(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new clause (ix) at the end thereof:
