          WHEREAS, in accordance with such procedures, the Parent Borrower has requested that the Tranche B-1 Term Loan Lenders extend the scheduled maturity of $2,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Tranche B-1 Term Loans, such extension to be effected by converting such amount of Tranche B-1 Term Loans into Tranche B-2 Term Loans (as defined below), in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;
          WHEREAS, each Tranche B-1 Term Loan Lender party hereto has agreed subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to convert up to the principal amount of its Tranche B-1 Term Loans set forth on such Tranche B-1 Term Loan Lender’s signature page hereto into Tranche B-2 Term Loans;
          WHEREAS, Section 2.14(f)(iii) of the Credit Agreement permits, subject to the limitations set forth therein, (i) the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders to enter into an Extension Amendment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) without the consent of any other Lenders to establish such Tranche B-2 Term Loans and effect certain amendments to the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to such Tranche B-2 Term Loans as the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders may agree and (ii) any such Extension Amendment to provide for additional amendments to the Credit Agreement other than those referred to or contemplated by Section 2.14(f)(iii), provided such additional amendments do not become effective prior to such time as they have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to (1) consents applicable to holders of any New Term Loans and New Revolving Commitments in either case provided for in any Joinder Agreement executed and (2) consents applicable to holders of any Extended Term Loans provided for in any such Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Credit Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required for such additional amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement (such effective time as to any such additional amendment, the “Additional Amendment Effective Time” thereof).
          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

 


 

          Section 1 Establishment of Extension Series.
          (a) There is hereby established under the Credit Agreement an Extension Series of Extended Term Loans which shall be titled the “Tranche B-2 Term Loans” and references in the Credit Agreement to Term Loans and Extended Term Loans shall include, without limitation, the Tranche B-2 Term Loans. The Existing Class with respect to the Tranche B-2 Term Loans for purposes of the Credit Agreement shall be the Tranche B-1 Term Loans and all references in the Credit Agreement to “Existing Class” when used with respect to the Tranche B-2 Term Loans shall refer to the Tranche B-1 Term Loans.
          (b) On the Extension Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Extension Amendment No. 1 Converted Amount of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans of each Tranche B-1 Term Loan Lender party hereto shall automatically (and without any further action on the part of any party to this Extension Amendment or the Credit Agreement) convert into a Tranche B-2 Term Loan to the Parent Borrower of an equal principal amount and denominated in Dollars. All accrued and unpaid amounts (including interest) owing by the Parent Borrower under the Credit Agreement with respect to any Tranche B-1 Term Loan (or portion thereof, if applicable) converted to a Tranche B-2 Term Loan to but not including the Extension Amendment No. 1 Effective Date shall automatically convert to an equal amount of equivalent accrued and unpaid obligations owing with respect to the Tranche B-2 Term Loan into which such Tranche B-1 Term Loan (or portion thereof, if applicable) was converted and shall be payable at the same times as such amounts would have been payable with respect to such converted Tranche B-1 Term Loan (or portion thereof, if applicable) if such conversion had not occurred. From and after the Extension Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, interest shall accrue on the Tranche B-2 Term Loans at the rate provided for in the Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Extension Amendment. Each Tranche B-2 Term Loan (or portion thereof, if applicable) that was converted from any Tranche B-1 Term Loan (or portion thereof, if applicable) that was a LIBOR Term Loan immediately prior to such conversion shall initially be deemed to be a Borrowing of a Tranche B-2 Term Loan that is a LIBOR Term Loan with an initial Interest Period equal to the remaining duration (as of the Extension Amendment No. 1 Effective Date) of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing of a Tranche B-1 Term Loan; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that in no event shall any conversion or extension of any Loan, or any other transaction specifically contemplated by this Extension Amendment, constitute a repayment, conversion or other event with respect to such Loan that would result in the application or operation of the provisions of Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement.
          (c) Set forth below are the scheduled principal repayment provisions of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans for purposes of Section 2.5(d) of the Credit Agreement:
