NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements hereinafter set forth, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.             Amendments.

 

(a)           Extension of Maturity Date.  The first sentence of
Section 2.01(a) of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety
to read as follows:

 

“(a)         Revolving Loan Availability.  Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, Lender agrees to advance to Borrower from time to time during
the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on October 31, 2024, or such
earlier date on which the LLC Term shall end (such date or such earlier date, if
applicable, the “Revolving Loan Maturity Date”), such loans as Borrower may
request under this Section 2.01 (individually, a “Revolving Loan”); provided,
however, that the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding
at any time shall not exceed the Commitment at such time.”

 

(b)           Revolving Loan Borrowings. The first sentence of
Section 2.01(b) of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

“Borrower shall request each Revolving Loan by having a representative of
Borrower request in writing (or by such other means as Lender and Borrower shall
agree) to Lender a Revolving Loan, which request shall specify the principal
amount of the requested Revolving Loan and the date of the requested Revolving
Loan, which shall be a Business Day (any such request, a “Revolving Loan
Borrowing Request”).”

 

(c)           Change in Commitment.  The reference to “$450,000,000” in
Section 2.02(a) of the Credit Agreement is replaced with “$550,000,000.”

 

(d)           Revolving Loan Note. Section 2.05(a) of the Credit Agreement is
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“(a)         Revolving Loan Note. The obligation of Borrower to repay the
Revolving Loans and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall
be evidenced by a promissory note in a form agreed to by Lender (the “Revolving
Loan Note”), which note shall be (i) in the original principal amount of
$550,000,000, (ii) dated as of November 29, 2016 and (iii) otherwise
appropriately completed. The Revolving Loan Note shall amend, restate, and
replace in its entirety the original promissory note dated August 12, 2009
executed by the Borrower and payable to the order of the Lender in the original
principal amount of $450,000,000 and is not intended to constitute a novation of
the Borrower’s obligations thereunder. Lender shall record on its general ledger
the date and amount of each Revolving Loan and of each payment or prepayment of
principal and each payment of interest or other amounts thereon made by
Borrower.”

 

(e)           Notices. Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“8.01      Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests,
demands, consents, instructions, or other communications to Lender or Borrower
