1.2 Effect of Facility Increase. Part I of this Agreement, constituting the Increase Agreement (the "Increase Agreement"), is entered into by Borrower, Agent and the lenders signatory to Part I hereof (collectively, the "Term A Lenders" and, individually, a "Term A Lender") to implement the terms of the increase option being exercised by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement.

All such Loans are collectively referred to herein as the "Term Loan A" or the "Facility Increase".
