SECTION 2.03. Swingline Loan Subfacility.

(a)    Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the Swingline Maturity Date, each Swingline Lender severally and not jointly, in its individual capacity, agrees to make certain revolving credit loans in Dollars to Borrower (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) from time to time during the term hereof; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000) and (ii) the Total Loan Commitment less the sum of (A) all Loans then outstanding, excluding Swingline Loans, and (B) the outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities; provided, however, that no Swingline Lender shall be obligated to make any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender would exceed the lesser of (A) the Loan Commitment of the Bank then acting as such Swingline Lender less its Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of all Ratable Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities then outstanding (the “Swingline Commitment”) and (B) Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000). Subject to the limitations set forth herein, any amounts repaid in respect of Swingline Loans may be reborrowed.

(b)    Swingline Borrowings.

(1)    Notice of Borrowing. With respect to any Swingline Loan, Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender selected by the Borrower to make such Swingline Loan and Administrative Agent notice in writing which is received by such Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of such Swingline Loan (and confirmed by telephone by such time), specifying (A) that a Swingline Loan is being requested, (B) the amount of such Swingline Loan, (C) the proposed date of such Swingline Loan, which shall be a Banking Day and (D) stating that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing both before and after giving effect to such Swingline Loan. Such notice shall be irrevocable. Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of the requested Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Administrative Agent at its principal office in Dollars, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 for such borrowing, be made available to the Borrower not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date by depositing same, in immediately available funds, in an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement.

(2)    Minimum Amounts. Each Swingline Loan shall be at least Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) and, or an integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).

(3)    Repayment of Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan shall be due and payable on the earliest of (A) five (5) Banking Days from and including the date of such Swingline Loan and (B) the Swingline Maturity Date. If, and to the extent, any Swingline Loans shall be outstanding on the date of any Ratable Loan, such Swingline Loans shall first be repaid from the proceeds of such Ratable Loan prior to the disbursement of the same to Borrower. If, and to the extent, a Ratable Loan is not requested prior to the earliest of the Swingline Maturity Date and the end of the five (5) Banking Day period after such Swingline Loan was made, or unless Borrower shall have notified Administrative Agent and the applicable Swingline Lender prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Banking Day after such Swingline Loan was made that Borrower intends to reimburse the applicable Swingline Lender for the amount of such Swingline Loan with funds other than proceeds of Ratable Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested Ratable Loans comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of the applicable Swingline Loan then outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay such Swingline Loan to the applicable Swingline Lender. In addition, if (x) Borrower does not repay a Swingline Loan on or prior to the end of such five (5) Banking Day period, or (y) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred during such five (5) Banking Day period, the Swingline Lender making such Swingline Loan may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and Administrative Agent, demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of Ratable Loans, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested Ratable Loans comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline Loans then outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay such Swingline Loans to such Swingline Lender. Any Ratable Loan which is deemed requested by the Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.03(b)(3) is hereinafter referred to as a “Mandatory Borrowing”. Each Bank hereby irrevocably agrees to make Ratable Loans promptly upon receipt of notice from Administrative Agent of any such deemed request for a Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentences and on the date such notice is received by such Bank (or the next Banking Day if such notice is received after 12:00 p.m. (New York City time)) notwithstanding (I) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount of Ratable Loans otherwise required hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in Section 4.02 are then satisfied, (III) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (IV) failure of any such deemed request for a Ratable Loan to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.05, (V) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing (provided that such date must be a Banking Day), or (VI) any termination of the Loan Commitments immediately prior to such Mandatory Borrowing or contemporaneously therewith.

(4)    Purchase of Participations. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each Bank hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payment received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the applicable Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Bank to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon its Pro Rata Share (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Loan Commitments), provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans with respect to any participation shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender making such Swingline Loans until but excluding the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, and (B) in the event of a delay between the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred and the time any purchase of a participation pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Bank shall be required to pay to Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of such participation for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate, for the two (2) Banking Days after the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Base Rate.

(c)    Interest Rate. Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Swingline Loan is made until the date it is repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans or at such other rate or rates as Borrower and the applicable Swingline Lender may agree in writing.

(g)The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating the first sentence of Section 2.15(c) thereof in its entirety as follows:

Unless a Default under Section 9.01(1) or 9.01(5) or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, by written notice to Administrative Agent, may request on up to four (4) occasions during the term of this Agreement that the Total Loan Commitment be increased by an amount not less than Twenty‑Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) per request and not more than Four Hundred Million Dollars ($400,000,000) in the aggregate (such that the Total Loan Commitment after such increase shall never exceed One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000)); provided that for any such request (a) the Borrower shall not have delivered an Extension Notice prior to, or simultaneously with, such request, (b) any Bank which is a party to this Agreement prior to such request for increase, at its sole discretion, may elect to increase its Loan Commitment but shall not have any obligation to so increase its Loan Commitment and (c) such request shall be accompanied by a certificate from the Borrower confirming that the representations and warranties of Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the requested increase in the Total Loan Commitments (except in those cases where such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date or is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Change” or similar language (which shall be true and correct in all respects as qualified therein) and except for changes in factual circumstances permitted hereunder).

Upon the issuance by a Fronting Bank of a Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the Loan Commitment of each Bank shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit plus any related Reimbursement Obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit then outstanding.

(j)    evidence that (i) all fees due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the arrangers pursuant to those certain fee letters by and among the Borrower, the arrangers and the Administrative Agent have been paid and (ii) all fees, expenses and reimbursement amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the arrangers, including without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent, have been paid; and

(k)    such other documents, agreements and instruments as the Administrative Agent, or any Bank through the Administrative Agent, may reasonably request.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, by its execution and delivery of this Amendment, the Administrative Agent and each Bank party hereto acknowledges and agrees that each of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment that have not previously been waived by such Banks in accordance with the terms of this Amendment has been satisfied and that this Amendment is effective upon the execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Borrower, each such Bank and the Administrative Agent.

Section 3. Allocations. The Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Bank agree that upon the effectiveness of this Amendment (the date of such effectiveness, the “Amendment Effective Date”), the outstanding Ratable Loans and the participation interests of the Banks in any outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be allocated among the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share calculated based on the Total Loan Commitments of the Banks set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Post-Amendment Commitment Percentage”). To effect such allocations, each Bank whose Post-Amendment Commitment Percentage exceeds the amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of Total Loan Commitments immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment and any Bank providing a new Loan Commitment shall make a Ratable Loan in such amount as is necessary so that the aggregate principal amount of Ratable Loans held by such Bank shall equal such Bank’s Post-Amendment Commitment Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Ratable Loans as of the Amendment Effective Date. The Administrative Agent shall make such amounts of the proceeds of such Ratable Loans available to each Bank whose Post-Amendment Commitment Percentage is less than the amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of Total Loan Commitments immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment as is necessary so that the aggregate principal amount of Ratable Loans held by such Bank shall equal such Bank’s Post-Amendment Commitment Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Ratable Loans as of the Amendment Effective Date. The parties hereto confirm that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Ratable Loans immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Date is equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Ratable Loans immediately after giving effect to the Amendment. Except for any Ratable Loan Notes to be provided to the Banks in the principal amount of their respective Loan Commitments, no other documents, instruments or fees (other than fees set forth in Section 2(j) above) shall be, or shall be required to be, executed or paid in connection with such allocations (all of which are hereby waived, as necessary).

TD Bank, N.A., as a new Bank under the Credit Agreement on the Amendment Effective Date, hereby agrees to provide a new Loan Commitment in the amount set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. On the Amendment Effective Date, TD Bank, N.A. agrees to become and shall be deemed a Bank for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, and each reference to the Banks in the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to include TD Bank, N.A. TD Bank, N.A. hereby appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as the Administrative Agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof.

The Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Bank confirms the amount of each such Bank’s Loan Commitment as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

Section 4. Representations. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Banks that:

Since December 31, 2015, there has not been any material adverse condition or material adverse change in or affecting, nor has any circumstance or condition occurred that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in, or have a material adverse effect on, the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Nothing in this Amendment shall limit, impair or constitute a waiver of the rights, powers or remedies available to the Administrative Agent or the Banks under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns.
