Effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of executed counterparts to this Amendment from the Borrower and Lenders constituting the Required Lenders, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

(a)           The following new definition is hereby added to Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement:

 

““Amendment No. 1” means Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement dated as of January 19, 2017.”

 

(b)           Section 3.07(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting a new final sentence thereof as follows:

 

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with Amendment No. 1, the Borrower shall not be required to provide ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Non-Consenting Lender and any Non-Consenting Lender with Restatement Effective Date Term Loans shall not be required to sign an Assignment and Assumption with respect to any required assignment of its Restatement Effective Date Term Loans pursuant to this Section 3.07 and the assignment of any Non-Consenting Lender’s Restatement Effective Date Term Loans to an assignee pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall become effective immediately upon receipt by (i) such Non-Consenting Lender of a notice that all Non-Consenting Lender’s Restatement Effective Date Term Loans are being 

 











 

required to be assigned to such assignee, which notice shall be signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (ii) the Administrative Agent (for the account of such Non-Consenting Lender) of immediately available funds in an amount from (x) such assignee equal to the principal amount of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Restatement Effective Date Term Loan and (y) the Borrower equal to the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on such Non-Consenting Lender’s Restatement Effective Date Term Loan to but excluding the date of such payment.”

 

Part II

 

The Credit Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (as defined below) and after giving effect to Part I of this Amendment as follows:

 

(a)           The following new definition is hereby added to Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement in alphabetical order:

 

““Amendment No. 1 Effective Date” has the meaning set forth in Amendment No. 1.”

 

(b)           Clause (a) of the definition of “Applicable Rate” appearing in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating it in its entirety as follows:

 

“(a) with respect to Restatement Effective Date Term Loans: (x) a percentage per annum equal to: (A) for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, 2.75% and (B) for Base Rate Loans, 1.75%.”

 

(c)           Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Base Rate” contained therein in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

 

““Base Rate” means for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1% (b) the Prime Rate in effect for such day and (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%; it being understood that, for the avoidance of doubt, solely with respect to the Restatement Effective Date Term Loans, the Base Rate shall be deemed to be not less than 1.75% per annum.”

 

(d)           Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” contained therein in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

 

““Eurocurrency Rate” means:

 

(a)           for any Interest Period with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or a comparable or successor rate, which rate is approved by the Administrative Agent, as published on the

 

2











 

applicable Bloomberg screen page (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, for Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period) with a term equivalent to such Interest Period; and

 

(b)           for any interest calculation with respect to a Base Rate Loan on any date, the rate per annum equal to LIBOR, at or about 11:00 a.m., London time determined two Business Days prior to such date for Dollar deposits with a term of one month commencing that day;

 

provided that to the extent a comparable or successor rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection herewith, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, further that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that solely with respect to the Restatement Effective Date Term Loans, the Eurocurrency Rate shall be deemed to not be less than 0.75% per annum in all cases.”

 

(e)           Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Federal Funds Rate” contained therein in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

 

““Federal Funds Rate” means, for any day, the rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the Business Day next succeeding such day; provided that (a) if such day is not a Business Day, the Federal Funds Rate for such day shall be such rate on such transactions on the next preceding Business Day as so published on the next succeeding Business Day, and (b) if no such rate is so published on such next succeeding Business Day, the Federal Funds Rate for such day shall be the average rate (rounded upward, if necessary, to a whole multiple of 1/100 of 1%) charged to Bank of America on such day on such transactions as determined by the Administrative Agent.”

 

(f)            Clause (a)(iv) of Section 2.05 is hereby amended by amending and restating in its entirety as follows:

 

“(iv)        In the event that following, but not including, the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date and on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Borrower (x) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Restatement Effective Date Term Loans pursuant to a Repricing Transaction (including, for avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iv) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction), or (y) effects any amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower

 

3











 

shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term Lenders, (1) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Restatement Effective Date Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (2) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Restatement Effective Date Term Loans amended or otherwise modified pursuant to such amendment. If, following, but not including, the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date and on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, any Term Lender that is a Non-Consenting Lender and is replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) in connection with any amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, such Term Lender (and not any Person who replaces such Term Lender pursuant to Section 3.07(a)) shall receive its pro rata portion (as determined immediately prior to it being so replaced) of the prepayment premium or fee described in the preceding sentence. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.”

 

Section 2.              Representations and Warranties, No Default.  The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (i) no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing and (ii) all representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, as though made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (provided that representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality are true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification thereof) in all respects on and as of the date hereof or as of the specifically referenced earlier date, as the case may be).

 

Section 3.              Effectiveness.  The amendments set forth in Part I of Section 1 of this Amendment shall become effective as provided therein.   The amendments set forth in Part II of Section 1 of this Amendment shall become effective on the date (such date, the “Amendment No. 1 Effective Date”) on which each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
