SECTION 1. Amendments to Credit Agreement.

(a) (i) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2 hereof, the 2014 Replacement Lenders hereby severally agree to make 2014 Replacement Term Loans to the Borrowers on the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined below) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,110,965,625.00 to refinance all outstanding Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) and this Second Amendment. It is understood and agreed that the 2014 Replacement Term Loans being made pursuant to this Second Amendment and the Credit Agreement (as modified hereby) shall constitute “Replacement Term Loans” as defined in, and pursuant to, Section 9.02(c)(i) of the Credit Agreement and the Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans being refinanced shall constitute “Replaced Term Loans” as defined in, and pursuant to, Section 9.02(c)(i) of the Credit Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Second Amendment (including as to the Applicable Rate and call protection) and the Credit Agreement (as modified hereby), the 2014 Replacement Term Loans shall be on terms identical to the Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans (including as to maturity, Guarantors, Collateral (and ranking) and payment priority).

(ii) On the Second Amendment Effective Date, all then outstanding Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans shall be refinanced in full as follows:

(w) The outstanding principal amount of the Original 2013 Replaced Term Loan of each Lender which (i) is an existing Lender under the Credit Agreement prior to giving effect to this Second Amendment (each, an “Existing Lender”) and (ii) is not party hereto as a 2014 Replacement Lender (a Lender meeting the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii), each, a “Non-Converting Lender”) shall be repaid in full in Cash.

(x) To the extent any Existing Lender has a 2014 Replacement Term Loan Conversion Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement as amended hereby) that is less than the full outstanding principal amount of the Original 2013 Replaced Term Loan of such Lender, such Lender shall be repaid in Cash in an amount equal to the difference between the outstanding principal amount of the Original 2013 Replaced Term Loan of such Lender and such Lender’s 2014 Replacement Term Loan Conversion Amount (the “Non-Converting Portion”).

(y) The outstanding principal amount of the Original 2013 Replaced Term Loan of each Existing Lender which has executed this Second Amendment as a “2014 Converting Lender” (each, a “2014 Converting Lender”) shall automatically be converted into a term loan (each, a “Converted 2014 Replacement Term Loan”) in a principal amount equal to such 2014 Converting Lender’s 2014 Replacement Term Loan Conversion Amount (each such conversion, a “2014 Term Loan Conversion”).

(z) Each Person that has executed this Second Amendment as a “New 2014 Replacement Lender” (each, a “New 2014 Replacement Lender” and, together with the

2014 Converting Lenders, collectively, the “2014 Replacement Lenders”) severally agrees to make to the Borrowers a new term loan (each, a “New 2014 Replacement Term Loan” and, collectively, the “New 2014 Replacement Term Loans” and, together with the Converted 2014 Replacement Term Loans, the “2014 Replacement Term Loans”) in Dollars in a principal amount equal to the amount set forth opposite such New 2014 Replacement Lender’s name on Exhibit A hereto (as to any New 2014 Replacement Lender, its “2014 Replacement Term Loan Commitment”) on the Second Amendment Effective Date.

(iii) Each 2014 Replacement Lender hereby agrees to “fund” its 2014 Replacement Term Loan as follows: (x) each 2014 Converting Lender shall “fund” its 2014 Replacement Term Loan to the Borrowers by converting all or a portion of its then outstanding principal amount of Original 2013 Replaced Term Loan into a 2014 Replacement Term Loan in a principal amount equal to such 2014 Converting Lender’s 2014 Replacement Term Loan Conversion Amount as provided in clause (ii)(y) above and (y) each New 2014 Replacement Lender shall fund in Cash to the Borrowers an amount equal to such New 2014 Replacement Lender’s 2014 Replacement Term Loan Commitment.

(iv) The Converted 2014 Replacement Term Loans subject to the 2014 Term Loan Conversion shall be allocated ratably to the outstanding Borrowings of Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans (based upon the relative principal amounts of Borrowings of Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans subject to different Interest Periods immediately prior to giving effect thereto). Each resulting “borrowing” of Converted 2014 Replacement Term Loans shall constitute a new “Borrowing” under the Credit Agreement and be subject to the same Interest Period (and the same LIBO Rate) applicable to the Borrowing of Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans to which it relates, which Interest Period shall continue in effect until such Interest Period expires and a new Type of Borrowing is selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.08 of the Credit Agreement. New 2014 Replacement Term Loans shall be initially incurred pursuant to “borrowings” of LIBO Rate Loans which shall be allocated ratably to the outstanding “deemed” Borrowings of Converted 2014 Replacement Term Loans on the Second Amendment Effective Date (based upon the relative principal amounts of the deemed Borrowings of Converted 2014 Replacement Term Loans subject to different Interest Periods on the Second Amendment Effective Date after giving effect to the foregoing provisions of this clause (iv)). Each such “borrowing” of New 2014 Replacement Term Loans shall (A) be added to (and made a part of) the related deemed Borrowing of Converted 2014 Replacement Term Loans and (B) be subject to (x) an Interest Period which commences on the Second Amendment Effective Date and ends on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the related deemed Borrowing of Converted 2014 Replacement Term Loans to which it is added and (y) the same LIBO Rate applicable to such deemed Borrowing of Converted 2014 Replacement Term Loans.

(v) On the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrowers shall pay in Cash (a) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans through the Second Amendment Effective Date and (b) to each Non-Converting Lender and each 2014 Converting Lender with a Non-Converting Portion (solely with respect to such Non-Converting Portion), any breakage loss or expenses due under Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement (it being understood that existing Interest Periods of the Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans held by 2014 Replacement Lenders prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date shall continue on and

 

3


after the Second Amendment Effective Date pursuant to preceding clause (iv) and shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement on and after the Second Amendment Effective Date as if the Second Amendment Effective Date were a new Borrowing date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Credit Agreement, each 2014 Converting Lender agrees, and each Existing Lender agrees (by execution of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to any 2014 Replacement Term Loans), to waive any entitlement to any breakage loss or expenses due under Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the repayment of any Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans of any such Lender with the proceeds of 2014 Replacement Term Loans on the Second Amendment Effective Date.

(vi) Promptly following the Second Amendment Effective Date, all Promissory Notes, if any, evidencing the Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans shall be cancelled and returned to the Borrowers, and any 2014 Replacement Lender may request that its 2014 Replacement Term Loan be evidenced by a Promissory Note pursuant to Section 2.10(e) of the Credit Agreement.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement, all proceeds of the New 2014 Replacement Term Loans (if any) will be used solely to repay outstanding Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans of Non-Converting Lenders (if any) and outstanding Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans of 2014 Converting Lenders in an amount equal to the Non-Converting Portion (if any) of such 2014 Converting Lenders’ Original 2013 Replaced Term Loans, in each case, on the Second Amendment Effective Date.

(b) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2 hereof, upon the making of the 2014 Replacement Term Loans, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
