Re:                             Note Exchange Agreement dated April 15, 2016

 

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is with reference to the Note Exchange Agreement, dated April 15, 2016 (the “NEA”), between Laureate Education, Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation (the “Company”), and                        relating to the Exchanged Notes (as defined in the NEA) identified in Schedule 1 hereto as Existing Exchanged Notes and beneficially owned by the entities (each, an “Account”) identified as Holders in Schedule 1 hereto.

 

The signatory hereto, other than the Company, is herein referred to as the “Representative” and, to the extent the Representative is not also an Account, holds contractual and investment authority over each Account and is executing this letter agreement for itself and on behalf of each Account.  Each Account, as well as the Representative, if the Representative is also an Account, is referred to herein as a “Holder.”  To the extent any Holder is not also identified as a “Holder” in the Exhibit A to the NEA, such Holder became subject to the terms and conditions of the NEA pursuant to an Assumption Agreement (as defined in the NEA) executed by or on behalf of such Holder.

 

This letter is also with reference to the Indenture, dated as of July 25, 2012, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 13, 2012 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 29, 2015 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), and by the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 30, 2016 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) and the 9.250% Senior Notes due 2019 issued by the Company thereunder (the “Notes”).

 











 

Pursuant to the second sentence of Section 4.2 of the NEA (the “Exchange Provision”), following a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the NEA), and before the redemption of the Notes, the Company and each Holder are to exchange such Holder’s Exchanged Notes (the “Existing Exchanged Notes”) for replacement notes.

 

The Company has notified the Representative that the Company has completed a Qualified Public Offering.

 

The Company has also notified the Representative that it may call for redemption some or all of the Notes and in connection therewith may issue 9.250% Replacement Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Replacement Notes”), as replacements for the Existing Exchanged Notes, which would not be redeemable by the Company, but would otherwise be substantially identical, in all material respects, to the Existing Exchanged Notes.

 

In order to confirm that the Existing Exchanged Notes will not be called for redemption when the Notes are called for redemption, the Company and the Representative (acting on its own behalf and on behalf of each Holder) have agreed to exchange the Existing Exchanged Notes for Replacement Notes (the “Note Exchange Transaction”) in accordance with the terms and conditions described in this confirmation letter (this “Letter Agreement”), and that the consummation of the Note Exchange Transaction shall be deemed to satisfy fully the obligations of the Company, the Representative and the Holders under the Exchange Provision.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company, the Representative and the Holders hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

Section 1.2                                   Notes Exchange Transaction.  The Company, the Representative and the Holders hereby agree to consummate the Note Exchange Transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions described in this Letter Agreement.  The Company, the Representative and the Holders acknowledge and agree that the consummation of the Note Exchange Transaction shall satisfy in full the Exchange Provision.

The closing of the Note Exchange Transaction (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of DLA Piper LLP (US) (“DLA Piper”), counsel to the Company, at The Marbury Building, 6225 Smith Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland 21209 on April 21, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), provided that the conditions to Closing set forth in Article III have been satisfied or waived, or at such other time and place as the Company and the Representative may agree either in writing or orally, but in no event later than April 25, 2017 (the “Outside Closing Date”).

Any amounts of Special Interest will be payable semiannually on each September 1 and March 1 (to the holders of record on the August 15 and February 15 immediately preceding such dates), commencing on September 1, 2017.  The Special Interest on the Cancelled Notes for the period from and including March 1, 2017 to the Closing Date shall be paid by the Company on the Replacement Notes in accordance with this Section 2.4 and the New Indenture in lieu of the Company paying the accrued and unpaid Special Interest that would have been payable on the Cancelled Notes for such period. This Section 2.4 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Replacement Notes.

 

Section 2.5                                   No Registration Rights Agreement.  The Replacement Notes will not be subject to any registration rights agreement.

Section 4.5                                   Entire Agreement Regarding Note Exchange Transaction.  This Letter Agreement and the Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements (other than the NEA) and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge that except as it may relate to the satisfaction of the Exchange Provision, this Letter Agreement does not affect the continuing legality, validity and enforceability of the NEA, which remains in full force and effect; provided, however, upon and after the Closing, the Replacement Notes shall constitute “Exchanged Notes” under the NEA.

 

Section 4.6                                   Amendment.  This Letter Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, each party hereto.

 

Section 4.7                                   No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Letter Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of Company, the Representative and the Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Letter Agreement.

 

Section 4.8                                   Governing Law.  This Letter Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would result in the application of the law of any other jurisdiction).

 

Section 4.9                                   Counterparts.  This Letter Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
