Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

(b)    (i) Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section Three hereof, the Replacement Term Lenders hereby agree to make 2017 Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to the Borrower on the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined below) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,843,415,625, which shall be used solely to refinance in full all outstanding Existing Term Loans.

(ii)    As of the Second Amendment Effective Date, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Second Amendment, the Administrative Agent has prepared and provided a true and correct copy to the Borrower of a schedule (the “2017 Replacement Term Loan Commitments Schedule”) which sets forth the allocated commitments received by it (the “2017 Replacement Term Loan Commitments”) from the Lenders providing the 2017 Replacement Term Loans. The Administrative Agent has notified each Replacement Term Lender of its allocated 2017 Replacement Term Loan Commitment, and each of the Replacement Term Lenders is listed as a signatory to this Second Amendment. On the Second Amendment Effective Date, all Existing Term Loans shall be refinanced in full as follows:

(w)    the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans of each Lender which does not have a 2017 Replacement Term Loan Commitment (each, a “Non-Converting Term Lender”) shall be repaid in full in cash;

 

9


(x)    to the extent any Lender has a 2017 Replacement Term Loan Commitment that is less than the full outstanding aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans of such Lender, such Lender shall be repaid in cash in an amount equal to the difference between the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans of such Lender and such Lender’s 2017 Replacement Term Loan Commitment (the “Non-Converting Term Portion”);

(y)    the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans of each Lender which has a 2017 Replacement Term Loan Commitment (each, a Converting Term Lender,” and, together with the Non-Converting Term Lenders, the “Existing Term Lenders”) shall automatically be converted into 2017 Replacement Term Loans (a “Converted 2017 Replacement Term Loan”) in a principal amount equal to such Converting Term Lender’s Existing Term Loans outstanding on the Second Amendment Effective Date immediately prior to such conversion, less an amount equal to any Non-Converting Term Portion; and

(z)    (1) each Replacement Term Lender that is not an Existing Term Lender (each, a “New Term Lender”) and (2) each Converting Term Lender with a 2017 Replacement Term Loan Commitment in an amount in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans of such Converting Term Lender (such difference, the “New Term Commitment”), agrees to make to the Borrower a new Term Loan (each, a “New Term Loan” and, collectively, the “New Term Loans” and, together with the Converted 2017 Replacement Term Loans, the “2017 Replacement Term Loans”) in a principal amount equal to such Converting Term Lender’s New Term Commitment or such New Term Lender’s 2017 Replacement Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, on the Second Amendment Effective Date, which 2017 Replacement Term Loans shall be subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Second Amendment.

(iii)    On the Second Amendment Effective Date, each Replacement Term Lender hereby agrees to fund its 2017 Replacement Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Replacement Term Lender’s 2017 Replacement Term Loan Commitment as follows: (x) each Converting Term Lender shall fund its 2017 Replacement Term Loans to the Borrower by converting its then outstanding principal amount of Existing Term Loans into 2017 Replacement Term Loans in an equal principal amount as provided in clause (ii)(y) above, (y) (1) each Converting Term Lender with a New Term Commitment shall fund in cash an amount equal to its New Term Commitment to the Designated Replacement Term Lender and (2) each New Term Lender shall fund in cash an amount equal to its 2017 Replacement Term Loan Commitment to the Designated Replacement Term Lender, and (z) the Designated Replacement Term Lender shall fund in cash to the Borrower an amount equal to the New Term Commitment of each Converting Term Lender and the 2017 Replacement Term Loan Commitment of each New Term Lender.

 

10


(iv)    All outstanding Borrowings of Existing Term Loans shall continue in effect for the equivalent principal amount of 2017 Replacement Term Loans after the Second Amendment Effective Date and each resulting “borrowing” of 2017 Replacement Term Loans shall be deemed to constitute a new deemed “borrowing” under the Credit Agreement and be subject to the same Interest Period (and the same LIBO Rate) applicable to the Existing Term Loans to which it relates immediately prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, which Interest Period shall continue in effect (until such Interest Periods expire, at which time subsequent Interest Periods shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement). New Term Loans shall be initially incurred as Eurodollar Loans and shall be allocated ratably to the outstanding deemed “borrowings” of 2017 Replacement Term Loans on the Second Amendment Effective Date. Each such Borrowing of New Term Loans shall be subject to (x) an Interest Period which commences on the Second Amendment Effective Date and ends on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the Existing Term Loans and (y) the same LIBO Rate applicable to the 2017 Replacement Term Loans. The 2017 Replacement Term Loans of each Replacement Term Lender shall be allocated ratably to such Interest Periods (based upon the relative principal amounts of Borrowings of Existing Term Loans subject to such Interest Periods immediately prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date), with the effect being that Existing Term Loans which are converted into Converted 2017 Replacement Term Loans hereunder shall continue to be subject to the same Interest Periods and any 2017 Replacement Term Loans that are funded in cash on the Second Amendment Effective Date shall be ratably allocated to the various Interest Periods as described above.

(v)    On the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay in cash (a) all interest accrued on the Existing Term Loans through the Second Amendment Effective Date and (b) to each Non-Converting Term Lender and each Converting Term Lender with a Non-Converting Term Portion, any breakage loss or expenses due under Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement (it being understood that existing Interest Periods of the Existing Term Loans held by Replacement Term Lenders prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date shall continue on and after the Second Amendment Effective Date and shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement on and after the Second Amendment Effective Date). Each Converting Term Lender hereby waives any entitlement to any breakage loss or expenses due under Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the repayment of that portion of its Existing Term Loans with the proceeds of Converted 2017 Replacement Term Loans.

(vi)    On the Second Amendment Effective Date, all promissory notes, if any, evidencing the Existing Term Loans shall be automatically cancelled, and any Replacement Term Lender may request that its 2017 Replacement Term Loan be evidenced by a promissory pursuant to Section 2.10(f) of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION TWO - Titles and Roles. The parties hereto agree that, as of the Second Amendment Effective Date and in connection with the Second Amendment:
