NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 


Section 1     Replacement of Revolving Credit Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (as defined below) and prior to giving effect to the Increase (as defined below):

(a)    (i) the entire aggregate principal amount of the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be replaced by the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Replacement”), which upon such Replacement shall otherwise be deemed to constitute the same Class, and be subject to the same terms and conditions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Rate), as the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments that they replaced, (ii) the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute the “Revolving Credit Commitments” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement and (iii) the Refinancing Revolving Credit Lenders shall constitute the “Revolving Credit Lenders” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement;

(b)    from and after giving effect to the Replacement, and until the effectiveness of the Increase, (i) the Revolving Credit Lenders shall have the Revolving Credit Commitments set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule 1 to this Amendment, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be as set forth on such Schedule 1 and (iii) such Schedule 1 shall replace in its entirety the portion of the table contained under the caption “Revolving Credit Commitments” set forth in Schedule 1.01(A) to the Credit Agreement; and

(c)    for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent not a Refinancing Revolving Credit Lender, each Existing Revolving Credit Lender shall cease to be a Revolving Credit Lender under the Credit Agreement.

Section 2     Revolving Commitment Increase. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be increased by $285,000,000 on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (the “Increase”), immediately after giving effect to the Replacement, (b) from and after giving effect to the Increase, (i) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be $785,000,000, (ii) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender (to the extent not already a Revolving Credit Lender under the Credit Agreement) shall for all purposes be deemed a Revolving Credit Lender, (iii) the Revolving Credit Lenders and L/C Issuer shall have the Revolving Credit Commitments and L/C Commitments, respectively, set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule 3 to this Amendment and (iv) such Schedule 3 shall replace in its entirety the portion of the table contained under the captions “Revolving Credit Commitments” and “L/C Commitments” set forth in Schedule 1.01(A) to the Credit Agreement and replace and supersede Schedule 1 hereto in its entirety, (c) the Borrower has elected to use the Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount to effectuate the increase in Revolving Credit Commitments contemplated hereby, (d) each Revolving Credit Lender (after giving effect to the Replacement and the Increase) shall be deemed to have purchased from Bank of America, N.A., as the L/C Issuer in respect of the existing Letters of Credit set forth on Schedule 2 to this Amendment (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) a risk participation in each such Existing Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth on Schedule 3 to this Amendment times the amount of such Letter of Credit, in each case, in accordance with Section 2.03(b) of the Credit Agreement, which such risk participations, for the avoidance of doubt, will replace in their entirety any risk participations in such Existing Letters of Credit held by the Existing Revolving Credit Lenders immediately before giving effect to the Replacement and the Increase, and (e) each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed issued under the Revolving Credit Facility, as amended to give effect to the Replacement and the Increase.

Furthermore, each Lender party hereto, by delivering its signature page to this Amendment on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes (or, to the extent already a Lender under the Credit Agreement, confirms its appointment and authorization of) the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees (or, to the extent already a Revolving Credit Lender under the Credit Agreement, confirms its agreement) that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Revolving Credit Lender.
