RECITALS:

WHEREAS, reference is hereby made to the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2016 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, including pursuant to the First Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2018, the Second Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2019 and the Third Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2020, the “Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined), by and among the Borrower, the Lenders and Issuing Banks from time to time party thereto, and the Administrative Agent;

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that the Lenders amend the Credit Agreement to make certain revisions to the Credit Agreement as set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, each Lender party hereto has consented to so amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth below;

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

1. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) Section 6.01(g) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(g) Specified Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed (i) $750,000,000, plus, (ii) so long as the Borrower has provided the financial statements described in Section 5.01(a) or (b), as applicable, any additional or other amount of Specified Indebtedness, so long as, solely in this case of this clause (ii), the Senior Net Leverage Ratio does not exceed 2.50 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Specified Indebtedness as of the most recently ended Measurement Period for which financial statements have been delivered prior to the incurrence of such Specified Indebtedness and treating any New Commitments incurred on such date (or, in the case, of a Limited Conditionality Acquisition, to be incurred in connection with such acquisition) and any such Specified Indebtedness consisting of a revolving credit facility as fully drawn (it being understood that existing undrawn Revolving Commitments hereunder shall not be treated as drawn for such purpose); provided that Senior Indebtedness shall be determined without taking into account any cash or cash


equivalents constituting proceeds of any such Specified Indebtedness or New Commitments to be provided on such date (or, in the case, of a Limited Conditionality Acquisition, to be incurred in connection with such acquisition) that may otherwise reduce the amount of Senior Indebtedness; provided, further, that, in the case of any such Specified Indebtedness the proceeds of which are to be used primarily to consummate a Limited Conditionality Acquisition substantially concurrently with the issuance of incurrence of such Specified Indebtedness, the Senior Net Leverage Ratio, shall be determined on the date the acquisition agreement with respect to such Limited Conditionality Acquisition is signed and not on the date such Specified Indebtedness is incurred or issued;

(b) Section 6.01(j) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(j) Indebtedness consisting of Convertible Notes; provided that with respect to any Convertible Notes that may be exchangeable for or convertible into cash (other than payment of principal of, and interest on, such Convertible Notes), (A) not more than $4,115,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes shall be outstanding at the time of, and after giving effect to, the issuance of such Convertible Notes, or (B) the Senior Net Leverage Ratio as of the date of issuance of such Convertible Notes, determined on a pro forma basis immediately after giving effect to the issuance of such Convertible Notes as of the most recently ended Measurement Period for which financial statements have been delivered, shall not exceed 3.00 to 1.00; provided further that Senior Indebtedness shall be determined without taking into account any cash or cash equivalents constituting proceeds of any such Convertible Notes to be issued on such date that may otherwise reduce the amount of Senior Indebtedness.

(c) Article 8 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 8.11 at the end thereof as follows:

Section 8.11 Return of Certain Payments.

(a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank (and each Participant of any of the foregoing, by its acceptance of a participation) hereby acknowledges and agrees that if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds (or any portion thereof) received by such Lender or Issuing Bank (any of the foregoing, a “Recipient”) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Recipient (whether or not known to such Recipient) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) and demands the return of such Payment, such Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment as to which such a demand was made. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Recipient under this Section shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

2


(b) Without limitation of clause (a) above, each Recipient further acknowledges and agrees that if such Recipient receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount, or on a date different from the amount and/or date specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, it understands and agrees at the time of receipt of such Payment that an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error) with respect to such Payment. Each Recipient agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made.

(c) Any Payment required to be returned by a Recipient under this Section shall be made in same day funds in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. Each Recipient hereby agrees that it shall not assert and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, permitted by applicable law, hereby waives, any right to retain such Payment, and any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment or similar right to any demand by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(d) The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event any Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) the receipt by any Recipient of a Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed to such Lender or Issuing Bank by the Borrower or any other Loan Party.”

(d) Section 9.03(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the word “or” after clause (iii) therein and inserting the following after clause (iv) therein:

“or (v) any action taken in connection with this Agreement, including, but not limited to the payment of principal, interest and fees”
