This AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of July 11, 2014 among Xxxxxx International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent under the hereinafter defined Credit Agreement (the “Administrative Agent”), and the other financial institutions signatory hereto.
R E C I T A L S:
A. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and certain financial institutions are parties to a $1,500,000,000 Credit Agreement dated as of June 17, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”).
B. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the undersigned Banks wish to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth below.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual execution hereof and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Unless otherwise specified herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings specified in the Credit Agreement.
2. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Upon the First Amendment Effective Time (as defined below), the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:
(a) The definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“Eurocurrency Rate” means, with respect to any Eurocurrency Advance in an Agreed Currency (other than Euro) for the relevant Interest Period, the London interbank offered rate as administered by Ice Benchmark Administration (“ICE”) (or any other Person that takes over the administration of such rate) for the applicable Agreed Currency for a period equal in length to such Interest Period as displayed on pages LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 of the Reuters screen that displays such rate (or, in the event such rate does not appear on a Reuters page or screen, on any successor or substitute page on such screen that displays such rate, or on the appropriate page of such other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided, that, if no such rate is available to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Eurocurrency Rate for the relevant Interest Period shall instead be the rate determined by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying interest rates for deposits in the applicable Agreed Currency in the London interbank market as may be selected by the Administrative Agent or, in the absence of such availability, by reference to the average of the rates at which deposits in the applicable Agreed Currency of $5,000,000 and for a maturity comparable to such Interest Period are offered in immediately available funds in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period by the principal London office of the Administrative Agent and by one or more Banks which are selected by the Administrative Agent and which agree to provide such information to the Administrative Agent; and provided further that if the “Eurocurrency Rate” as determined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
definition shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
(b) The definition of “EURIBOR” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“EURIBOR” means, with respect to any EURIBOR Advance for the relevant Interest Period, the interest rate per annum equal to the rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be the rate at which deposits in Euro appear on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the date that is two (2) TARGET Settlement Days (or, if such date is not a EURIBOR Business Day, the first day preceding such date that is a EURIBOR Business Day) preceding the first day of such Interest Period, and having a maturity equal to such Interest Period; provided, that if such rate does not appear on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01, then EURIBOR shall be an interest rate per annum equal to the arithmetic mean determined by the Administrative Agent (rounded to the nearest .01%) of the rates per annum at which deposits in Euro are offered by the London branches of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Bank of America, N.A. and Citibank, N.A. at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the day that is two (2) TARGET Settlement Days (or, if such date is not a EURIBOR Business Day, the first day preceding such date that is a EURIBOR Business Day) preceding the first day of such Interest Period to other leading banks in the euro-zone interbank market at which deposits in Euro are offered, and having a maturity equal to such Interest Period. The Administrative Agent will deliver a copy of such Reuters Screen or its calculation of EURIBOR, as applicable, to the Borrower within one (1) EURIBOR Business Day of the beginning of the relevant Interest Period; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to provide such copy of the Reuters Screen or such calculation of EURIBOR shall in no way limit or modify the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement; and provided further that if “EURIBOR” as determined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this definition shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
(c) The definition of “Termination Date” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“Termination Date” means, the earlier of (i) December 31, 2015 and (ii) the date on which the Commitments shall have been reduced to zero or terminated in whole pursuant to the terms hereof.
(d) The following definitions shall be added to Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement in alphabetical order:
“Anti-Corruption Laws” means all laws, rules, and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption.
“Sanctions” means economic or financial sanctions or trade embargoes imposed, administered or enforced from time to time by (a) the U.S. government, including those administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury or
2
the U.S. Department of State or (b) the United Nations Security Council, the European Union or Her Majesty’s Treasury of the United Kingdom.
“Sanctioned Country” means, at any time, a country or territory which is the subject or target of any Sanctions and currently is comprised of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria.
“Sanctioned Person” means, at any time, (a) any Person listed in any Sanctions-related list of designated Persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Department of State or by the United Nations Security Council, the European Union or any European Union member state, (b) any Person operating, organized or resident in a Sanctioned Country or (c) any Person controlled or more than 50% owned by any such Person.
(e) Section 7.01(f) of the Credit Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change. The Consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013, and the related Consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholder’s equity and comprehensive income for the period then ended of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries at December 31, 2013, and the results of the operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year except as discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated financial statements. Since December 31, 2013, except as disclosed in filings with the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement, there has been no material adverse change in such financial condition or operations.
(f) A new Section 7.01(j) is added to the Credit Agreement reading as follows:

3
