AGREEMENT
1.Amendments to the Credit Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) The definition of “Permitted Call Spread Hedge Agreements” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended (i) to insert the following phrase after the word “call” in clause (a) thereof: “or a capped call” and (ii) to insert the following phrase at the beginning of clause (b) thereof: “if entered by the Borrower in connection with any Hedge Agreement described in clause (a) above,”.
(b) The definition of “Permitted Convertible Notes” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
““Permitted Convertible Notes” means any notes issued by the Borrower that are convertible into common stock of the Borrower or cash in lieu of all or any portion of such shares of common stock; provided that (a) the stated final maturity thereof shall be no earlier than 91 days after the Maturity Date, and shall not be subject to any conditions that could result in such stated final maturity occurring on a date that precedes the 91st day after the Maturity Date (it being understood that a repurchase of such notes on account of the occurrence of a “fundamental change” or any redemption of such notes at the option of the Borrower shall not be deemed to constitute a change in the stated final maturity thereof), (b) such notes shall not be required to be repaid, prepaid, redeemed, repurchased or defeased, whether on one or more fixed dates, upon the occurrence of one or more events or at the option of any holder thereof (except, in each case, upon the occurrence of an event of default, a “fundamental change” or following the Borrower’s election to redeem such notes) prior to the 91st day after the Maturity Date, (c) the terms, conditions and covenants of such notes
shall be such as are typical and customary for notes of such type (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower in good faith), (d) no Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party shall Guarantee obligations of the Borrower thereunder, and each such Guarantee shall provide for the release and termination thereof, without action by any Person, upon any release and termination of the Guarantee by such Subsidiary of the Loan Document Obligations, and (e) the obligations in respect thereof (and any Guarantee thereof) shall not be secured by any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.”
(c) Section 6.01(k) of the Credit Agreement is amended to delete the figure “$300,000,000” and insert therefor the figure “$500,000,000”.
(d) Section 6.08(a) of the Credit Agreement is amended to (i) insert the word “and” immediately before Clause (a)(vii)(B) thereof and (ii) delete Clause (a)(vii)(C) thereof.
(e) Section 6.08(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement is amended to delete the word “solely”.
(f) Section 6.08(b)(v) of the Credit Agreement is amended (i) to delete the word “and” at the end of clause (v) thereof, (ii) to replace the “.” at the end of clause (vi) thereof with “;” and (iii) to insert the following two clauses in numerical order:
“(vii) the repayment of any such Indebtedness on the final stated maturity thereof, provided that such final stated maturity satisfies the respective requirements set forth in the definitions of “Permitted Convertible Notes” and “Permitted Subordinated Notes”, as the case may be; and”
“(viii) the documents governing any such Indebtedness may contain customary “fundamental change” or “change of control” provisions, provided that no payments or other distributions may be made under any such provisions except to the extent permitted by the other clauses of this Section 6.08(b).”
(g) Clause (g) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement is amended to append the following phrase to Clause (B) thereof: “or as a result of any voluntary prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in the absence of any default (or a similar event, however denominated) thereunder”.
2. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants that:
(a) this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness, and general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;
(b) the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct (i) in the case of the representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects, and (ii) otherwise, in all material respects, in each case on and as of the date hereof, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case the Borrower only represents and warrants that such representation and warranty was so true and correct on and as of such prior date; and
(c) as of the date hereof, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified hereby and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement, “thereunder,” “thereof,” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified hereby.
