SECTION 4. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Immediately and automatically effective as of the effectiveness of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5 below and the occurrence of the Transactions, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:
(a) Section 1.1 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the definitions of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate”, “Applicable Margin”, “Base Rate” and “Term Loan” in their entirety to read as follows:
“Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” means, for any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to an Interest Period, the rate per annum obtained by dividing (i) (a) the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Interest Rate Determination Date by reference to the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited Interest Settlement Rates (or the successor thereto if the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited is no longer making such rate available) for deposits in Dollars (as set forth by any service selected by the Administrative Agent that has been nominated by the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited or its successor as an authorized information vendor for the purpose of displaying such rates) for a period equal to such Interest Period or (b) in the event the rate referenced in the preceding clause (a) is not ascertainable pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing clause (a), the Interpolated Rate for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of such Loan, by (ii) an amount equal to (a) one minus (b) the Applicable Reserve Requirement. If, at any time, the
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate as calculated pursuant to the foregoing would otherwise be lower than zero the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be deemed to be zero at such time.
“Applicable Margin” means (a) with respect to any Term Loans (other than New Term Loans advanced after the Third Amendment Effective Date), (i) 2.00% for Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) 1.00% for ABR Rate Loans, (b) with respect to any Revolving Loans, (i) 3.00% for Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) 2.00% for ABR Rate Loans and (c) with respect to any New Term Loans advanced after the Third Amendment Effective Date, the Applicable Margin shall be as provided for in the Joinder Agreement related to the New Term Loan Commitments in respect of such New Term Loans.
“Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% and (iii) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate then in effect for Eurodollar Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month plus 1%; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for any day shall be based on the rate determined on such day at approximately 11 a.m. (London time) by reference to the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited Interest Settlement Rates (or the successor thereto if the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited is no longer making such rate available) for deposits in dollars (as set forth by any service selected by the Administrative Agent that has been nominated by the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited or its successor as an authorized vendor for the purpose of displaying such rates). Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be effective on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, respectively. If, at any time, the Base Rate as calculated pursuant to the foregoing would otherwise be lower than zero the Base Rate shall be deemed to be zero at such time.
“Term Loan” means a loan made by a Lender to Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1, the Existing Term Loans and any loans constituting a Permitted Secured Refinancing of Term Loans. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans on the Closing Date after giving effect to the Closing Date Transactions is $965,760,000. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans on the Third Amendment Effective Date, after giving effect to the loans advanced on such date, is $1,103,730,206.81.

(c) Section 1.1 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by adding the following terms in proper alphabetical order:
“Existing Upfront Fees” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.1(c)(i).
“Third Amendment” means the Permitted Secured Refinancing and Incremental Joinder Agreement, dated as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, among the Borrower, the Guarantors, Holdings, the Lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent.
“Third Amendment Effective Date” means June 6, 2017.

(e) The penultimate sentence of Section 2.1(c)(i) of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such sentence and inserting the following in replacement therefor:
“In any event (a) the applicable maturity date of each Series of New Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Final Maturity Date then in effect, (b) the Weighted-Average Life to Maturity of all New Term Loans of any Series shall be no shorter than the Weighted-Average Life to Maturity of each Series of Term Loans outstanding on the date the applicable New Term Loan Commitments relating to such New Term Loans become effective under this Agreement and (c) with respect to any New Term Loans created hereunder, if the initial yield on such New Term Loans (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin applicable to such New Term Loans above the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate and (y) if such New Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from or on behalf of Borrower for doing so (excluding customary arranger or commitment fees paid to the arrangers of such New Term Loans or their affiliates) (the amount of such discount or upfront fees, expressed as a percentage of such New Term Loans, being referred to herein as “Upfront Fees”), the amount of such Upfront Fees divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such New Term Loans and (B) four) exceeds the yield applicable to any Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin applicable to such Term Loans above the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate and (y) if such Term Loans were initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same received a fee directly or indirectly from or on behalf of Borrower for doing so (excluding customary arranger or commitment fees paid to the arrangers of such Term Loans or their affiliates) (the amount of such discount or upfront fees, expressed as a percentage of such Term Loans, being referred to herein as “Existing Upfront Fees”), the amount of such Existing Upfront Fees divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such Term Loans at the time initially advanced and (B) four) by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin (without respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans) then in effect for such Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the New Term Loans; provided that, to the extent that the lowest permissible rate applicable to such New Term Loans is higher than the lowest permissible rate applicable to other Term Loans as a result of a “floor” or similar feature, such differential between the floors shall be equated to the applicable Yield Differential for purposes of determining whether an increase to the interest rate margin under the Terms Loans shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the floor that would be applicable to any Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder (determined, based on the rate that would be applicable to any such other Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans for a 3-month Interest Period), and in such case, the floor applicable to the Eurodollar Loans that are Term Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential (and such difference in floors shall not increase the Applicable Margin).”
(f) Section 2.11 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“2.11 Scheduled Payments. The principal amounts of the Term Loans of each Lender (other than New Term Loans advanced after the Third Amendment Effective Date, for which scheduled payments shall be made as provided for in the Joinder Agreement relating to such New Term Loans) shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments (each, an “Installment”) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined with respect to Term Loans other than New Term Loans advanced after the Third Amendment Effective Date) of an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Term Loans outstanding on the Third Amendment Effective Date after giving effect to the Third Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby, commencing September 30, 2017. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) such Installments shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans, as the case may be, in accordance with Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14, as applicable; (y) such Installments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis in connection with any assignment of Term Loans to Borrower (and subsequent cancellation and extinguishment of such Term Loans) in accordance with Section 9.6(l); and (z) the Term Loans, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the Term Loan Maturity Date.”
