Section 1. Amendments to Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is, effective as of the date hereof and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4, hereby amended as follows:

(a)The following new definitions are added to Section 1.01 in appropriate alphabetical order:

“Anti-Corruption Laws” means all laws, rules, and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption.

“Sanctioned Country” means, at any time, a country or territory which is itself the subject or target of any Sanctions (as of October 17, 2014, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria).

“Sanctioned Person” means, at any time, (a) any Person listed in any Sanctions-related list of designated Persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Department of State, or by the United Nations Security Council, the European Union or any European Union member state, (b) any Person operating,

organized or resident in a Sanctioned Country or (c) any Person owned or controlled by any such Person or Persons described in the foregoing clauses (a) or (b).

“Sanctions” means, with respect to any Person, economic or financial sanctions or trade embargoes imposed, administered or enforced from time to time by (a) the U.S. government, including those administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the U.S. Department of State, or (b) the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, any European Union member state or Her Majesty’s Treasury of the United Kingdom, to the extent applicable to such Person.

(b)The definition of “Base Rate” in Section 1.01 is amended by deleting the phrase “British Bankers Association Interest Settlement” and substituting therefor the phrase “ICE Benchmark Settlement” in both places such phrase appears

(c)The definition of “FATCA” in Section 1.01 is amended in full to read as follows:

(e)Section 2.08(b) is amended in full to read as follows:

The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.06, provided that if Reuters LIBOR01 Page is unavailable, such rate of interest shall be determined on the basis of timely information provided by no fewer than two Reference Banks (it being understood that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to disclose to any party hereto any information regarding any Reference Bank or any rate provided by such Reference Bank, including, without limitation, whether a Reference Bank has provided a rate or the rate provided by any individual Reference Bank and (ii) any such determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary and capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the Administrative Agent after consideration of factors as the Administrative Agent then reasonably determines to be relevant).

(f)Section 2.10(b) is amended by replacing the word “capital” with the phrase “capital or liquidity” in each place such word appears.

(g)Section 4.01 is amended by adding to the end thereof a new subsection (q), to read as follows:

respective directors, officers and employees, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws, except to the extent the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of (a) the Borrower, any Subsidiary or to the knowledge of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, any of their respective directors, officers or employees or any agent of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowing is intended to be used for the purpose of violating any Anti-Corruption Law or in violation of applicable Sanctions.

(h)Section 5.01(b) is amended by adding to the end thereof (immediately before the period) the following:

Each Lender that consents to extend its Termination Date shall so indicate its consent by executing as indicated on the signature pages. Each Lender that consents to increase its Commitment shall so indicate its consent by executing as indicated on the signature pages.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. The Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

(a)    the representations and warranties made by the Borrower contained in Section 4.01 of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby (other than the last sentence of Section 4.01(e) and other than Section 4.01(f)(i)), are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof (the “Amendment Date”), before and after giving effect to the Amendment Date; and

(b)    no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from the Amendment Date, that constitutes a Default.

(d)    The Credit Agreement and the Notes, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.

(e)    The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement.

(f)    For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the effective date of the Amendment, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Credit Agreement as not qualifying as a "grandfathered obligation" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

Section 7. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution,

Section 8. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile or electronic communication (.pdf file) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

Section 9. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.
