PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of July 25, 2007, as amended and restated as of November 5, 2010, February 2, 2012 and January 27, 2014, and as further amended as of March 9, 2015, May 18, 2015 and December 5, 2016 (as the same may be further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Parent, the Lenders party thereto and CS, as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent for the Lenders.

Pursuant to Section 2.25(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower made, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, a Loan Modification Offer to all of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make certain Permitted Amendments as described herein and therein to the Revolving Credit Commitments.

The Revolving Credit Lenders party hereto (the “Accepting Lenders” or the “Extended Revolving Credit Lenders”) are willing to agree to such Permitted Amendments as of the Loan Modification Effective Date (as defined below), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Loan Modification Offer contemplated by this Agreement, and immediately after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Accepting Lenders shall be reduced to $739,000,000, to the extent applicable.    

Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Defined Terms. (a) Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein (including the Preliminary Statement hereto) shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement. The provisions of Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis. This Agreement shall be a “Loan Document” and a “Loan Modification Agreement for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) The Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans of all Revolving Credit Lenders in effect immediately prior to the Loan Modification Effective Date are referred to herein as “Existing Revolving Credit Commitments” and Existing Revolving Loans”, respectively.

 

2


(c) The consummation of the Loan Modification Offer described in Sections 2 and 3 hereof, the amendment of the Credit Agreement described in Section 4 hereof and the payment of fees and expenses with respect to each of the foregoing, in each case on the Loan Modification Effective Date, are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.

SECTION 2. Concerning the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Loans. (a) On the Loan Modification Effective Date, the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Loans of each Accepting Lender in an aggregate principal amount set forth on Schedule I under the headings “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” and “Extended Revolving Loans”, respectively, in each case opposite the name of such Lender, shall convert into extended revolving credit commitments (the “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”) and extended revolving loans (the “Extended Revolving Loans”) of such Lender, respectively, and shall continue to be in effect and outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein. In the event the Revolving Loans of any Accepting Lender outstanding on the Loan Modification Effective Date (immediately prior to the consummation of such conversion), if any, shall be of more than one Type or, in the case of Eurodollar Revolving Loans, shall have more than one Interest Period, such conversion shall be accomplished by means of each such Revolving Loan converting into an Extended Revolving Loan of the same Type as such original Revolving Loan (and, where applicable, having the initial Interest Period that ends on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such original Loan) in the same proportion as the aggregate principal amount set forth on Schedule I under the heading “Extended Revolving Loans” opposite the name of such Lender bears to the aggregate principal amount of all the Revolving Loans of such Lender as of the Loan Modification Effective Date (determined immediately prior to the consummation of such conversion).

(b) The Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and the Existing Revolving Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender that are not Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans, respectively, shall constitute “Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” and “Non-Extended Revolving Loans”, respectively, in each case under the Credit Agreement and shall continue to be in effect and outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein. Each Revolving Credit Lender with a Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall be referred to, in such capacity, as a “Non-Extended Revolving Credit Lender”.

(c) None of transactions set forth in this Section 2 shall be deemed to be a conversion of any Revolving Loan into a Loan of a different Type or with a different Interest Period or a payment or prepayment of any Revolving Loan, and the parties hereto hereby agree that no breakage or similar costs will accrue solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.

(d) For all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments as defined herein shall constitute “Revolving Credit Commitments” under the Credit Agreement and the

 

3


Extended Revolving Loans as defined herein shall constitute “Revolving Loans” under the Credit Agreement. Except to the extent provided below, the terms and conditions of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and the Extended Revolving Loans (in each case as defined herein) shall be identical to those of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Loans, (in each case as defined in the Credit Agreement), respectively.

(i) As used in the Credit Agreement, the “Revolving Credit Maturity Date” with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and the Extended Revolving Loans shall be January 27, 2021; provided that if on any date prior to January 27, 2021 (any such date, a “Revolving Credit Reference Date”), an aggregate principal amount in excess of $250,000,000 of (u) 2019 Notes, (v) 2019 Term G Loans, (w) 2020 Notes, (x) 2021 Term H Loans and (y) any Indebtedness (“Refinanced Indebtedness”) incurred to refinance or otherwise extend the maturity date of 2019 Notes, 2019 Term G Loans, 2020 Notes, 2021 Term H Loans, or other Refinanced Indebtedness, is outstanding and scheduled to mature or similarly become due on or prior to the date that is ninety-one (91) days after the Revolving Credit Reference Date, the “Revolving Credit Maturity Date” shall instead be the Revolving Credit Reference Date; provided further, that, in each case, if any such day is not a Business Day, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be the Business Day immediately preceding such day.

(e) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, Schedule I sets forth each of the Revolving Credit Lenders and their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.

(f) The Administrative Agent and each Accepting Lender hereto hereby waive the requirement that the Borrower provide advance written notice of their intent to reduce Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09 of the Credit Agreement.

(g) All Revolving Loans will be made by all Revolving Credit Lenders (including Revolving Credit Lenders with Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Lenders with Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (determined, in the case of any Revolving Credit Lender, on the basis of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments), until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date with respect to the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments; thereafter all Revolving Loans will be made by all Revolving Credit Lenders holding Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentage of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.

(h) Prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date with respect to the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, each prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be allocated among all of the Revolving Credit Lenders on a ratable basis (including Revolving Credit Lenders with Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and

 

4


Revolving Credit Lenders with Extended Revolving Credit Commitments). From and after the Maturity Date with respect to the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, each prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be allocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders holding Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on a ratable basis.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided above, (i) the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall each constitute a separate Class of Commitments for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and (ii) the Extended Revolving Loans and the Non-Extended Revolving Loans shall each constitute a separate Class of Loans for all purposes under the Credit Agreement. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, at any time after the Loan Modification Effective Date, pursuant to Section 2.21(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may request that any Non-Extended Revolving Credit Lender assign all or a portion of such Lender’s Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Non-Extended Revolving Loans to any new or existing Extended Revolving Credit Lender, which Non-Extending Revolving Credit Commitments and Non-Extended Revolving Loans shall convert into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans, respectively; provided that in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments exceed $750 million.

(j) Unless earlier terminated, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date for the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments will terminate, and the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Lenders will have no further obligation to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, or to acquire participations in Letters of Credit made or issued after such Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided that the foregoing will not release any Non-Extended Revolving Credit Lender from any such obligation to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower or acquire or fund participations in Letters of Credit, in each case that was required to be performed on or prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date for the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. On the Revolving Credit Maturity Date for the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, each Extended Revolving Credit Lender will acquire and fund, in accordance with Section 2.23, participations in Letters of Credit outstanding on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date for the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, and will acquire and fund, in accordance with Section 2.23, participations in Letters of Credit issued after such Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in each case in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default existed on such Revolving Credit Maturity Date for the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that the Revolving Credit Exposure of each Extended Revolving Credit Lender does not exceed such Extended Revolving Credit Lender’s Extended Revolving Credit Commitment.

(k) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.

SECTION 3. Revolving Credit Commitment Reduction. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, and without any further action of any party hereto, the Revolving Credit Commitments of all of the Accepting Lenders in effect immediately prior to the Loan Modification Effective Date will be reduced, among such Accepting Lenders, to $739,000,000, to the extent applicable. Schedule I attached hereto reflects such reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement, including Section 2.09(c) thereof, each of the Accepting Lenders hereby consents to the allocations set forth on Schedule I and, solely for any reduction in Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Agreement, waives any requirement that such reduction in Revolving Credit Commitments be made ratably among the applicable Lenders. Each of the Accepting Lenders hereby agrees that the Borrower may make one or more additional Loan Modification Offers to Revolving Credit Lenders that are not Accepting Lenders on substantially the same terms contained in this Agreement and, in connection therewith, may reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Revolving Credit Lender that accepts any such subsequent Loan Modification Offer on a non pro-rata basis, without any further reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, so long as such reductions are effected in a manner commensurate with the reduction set forth in this Section 3; provided that in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments exceed $750 million.

(b) The Borrower hereby agrees that, subject to the terms and requirements contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to, at least 20 days prior to executing any new Mortgage, provide prior written notice to each Revolving Credit Lender of their intention to execute a Mortgage and, unless otherwise required by the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Mortgage related to such Mortgaged Property shall be executed and delivered until confirmation is received from each Revolving Credit Lender that flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance has been completed (such confirmation not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) (it being understood and agreed that compliance by the Borrower with its obligations under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents shall not constitute a breach of the foregoing).

SECTION 8. Effect of this Amendment. (a) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Secured Party under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Agreement shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement specifically referred to herein.

(b) From and after the Loan Modification Effective Date, any reference to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as modified (or deemed modified) by this Agreement.

SECTION 9. Reaffirmation; Further Assurances. (a) Each of Parent, the Borrower and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors identified on the signature pages hereto (collectively, Parent, the Borrower and such Subsidiary Guarantors, the “Reaffirming Loan Parties”) hereby acknowledges that it expects to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Reaffirming Loan Party hereby consents to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby confirms its respective guarantees (including in respect of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments), pledges and grants of security interests (including in respect of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments), as applicable, under each of the Loan Documents to which it is party, and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, such guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall accrue to the benefit of the Secured Parties (including in respect of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments). Each of the Reaffirming Loan Parties further agrees to take any action that may be required or that is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to effect the purposes of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Loan Documents and hereby reaffirms its obligations under each provision of each Loan Document to which it is party.

(b) On or prior to December 11, 2017 (or such later date as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may permit) the Borrower shall deliver, with

 

11


respect to each Mortgage encumbering a Mortgaged Property, either (x) an amendment thereof (each, a “Mortgage Amendment”), setting forth such changes as are reasonably necessary to reflect that the lien securing the Obligations under the Credit Agreement encumbers such Mortgaged Property and to further grant, preserve, protect, confirm and perfect the first-priority lien and security interest thereby created and perfected, and opinions by local counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent regarding the enforceability of each such Mortgage Amendment, or (y) opinions or other written confirmations from local counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating, to the reasonably satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, that no such Mortgage Amendment is required with respect to a Mortgaged Property, in each case in substantially the same form as those Mortgage Amendments and local counsel opinions delivered to the Administrative Agent on the First Restatement Effective Date, except for those changes necessary to reflect the transactions contemplated hereby, and each of the foregoing being in all respects reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Loan Documents (including the preparation of this Agreement), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP.

SECTION 11. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by electronic transmission (e.g., “pdf”) of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and once delivered, may not be withdrawn or revoked unless this Agreement fails to become effective in accordance with its terms on or prior to July 7, 2017.

SECTION 13. No Novation. This Agreement shall not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Credit Agreement or discharge or release the Lien or priority of any Loan Document or any other security therefor or any guarantee thereof. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement or instruments guaranteeing or securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Party under any other Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities thereunder. The Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, until and except as modified hereby or thereby in connection herewith or therewith.

 

12


SECTION 14. Governing Law. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 15. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
