RECITALS

 

A.            Borrower and Lender are parties to that certain Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2009, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement dated as of June 6, 2012 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

 

B.            The parties hereto have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement as provided herein.

 

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 under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given to a party at the earlier of (a) when personally delivered or (ii) one Business Day after deposit with a national overnight courier service; in each case addressed as follows:
