Ladies and Gentlemen:

Affinion Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“you” or the “Borrower”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Debtors” and each a “Debtor”), have requested that the parties listed on Schedule I hereto (“us”, “we” or the “Backstop Parties”) agree to structure and backstop a non-amortizing multiple draw super-priority senior secured debtor-in-possession term loan facility (the “DIP Facility”) in an aggregate amount of $55,000,000 under Section 364 of chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Code”). The availability of the DIP Facility will be conditioned on and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4 below. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used with the meanings assigned to them in the Debtor-in-Possession Term Loan Facility Summary of Terms and Conditions (the “Term Sheet”) attached as Exhibit A hereto (Exhibit A, together with this letter, collectively, this “Commitment Letter”).

1. Commitment

In connection with the foregoing, the Backstop Parties are pleased to advise you of their commitment to backstop the DIP Facility, on a several and not joint basis, in the amounts set forth opposite each such Backstop Party’s name on Schedule I hereto (the “Backstop Commitments”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this letter and the Term Sheet.

A portion of the Backstop Parties’ Backstop Commitments hereunder shall be reduced pro rata in an aggregate amount equal to any commitment allocated, on or prior to the date of entry of the Interim Order (as defined below), to holders (other than the Backstop Parties) of record as of a date to be determined by the Backstop Parties (the “Record Date”) of the First Lien Claims (the “Other Pre-Petition First Lien Claimholders”) on a ratable basis up to their respective pro rata share of the First Lien Claims as of the Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Other Pre-Petition First Lien Claimholder fails to fund any portion of its commitment on the date upon which all conditions precedent in the Definitive Documentation are satisfied (the “Closing Date”), then the Backstop Parties shall fund such amount on the Closing Date and any subsequent amounts funded after the Closing Date, as if there were no reductions in the respective backstop commitment amounts set forth above as a result of the commitment allocated to such Other Pre-Petition First Lien Claimholder.

2. Information

You hereby represent and covenant that (a) all information, other than the Projections (as defined below), other forward looking information and information of a general economic or industry specific nature (the “Information”), that has been or will be made available to us by you or on behalf of you or any of your representatives in connection herewith is or will be, when taken as a whole, correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) the financial projections and other forward-looking information (the “Projections”) that have been or will be made available to us by you or on behalf of you or any of your representatives in connection herewith have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are reasonable at the time made and at the time the related Projections are made available to us. You agree that if, at any time prior to the execution of the DIP Facility, you become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations will be correct in all material respects under those circumstances.

3. Upfront Fee, Exit Fee and Put Option Premium
