Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 2, 2013, the Company, certain domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative and collateral agent (“Goldman Sachs”), and the lenders party thereto entered into Refinancing Amendment No. 2 (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Company’s Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of August 1, 2012 by and among the Company, the Guarantors, Goldman Sachs, and the lenders party thereto.

The Credit Agreement Amendment (i) evidences the refinancing of the Company’s existing senior secured tranche B term loan facility with a maturity date of August 1, 2019 (“Existing Term Loan B”), with a new senior secured tranche B term loan facility (“New Term Loan B”) with the same principal amount (subject to the prepayment referenced below), maturity date and amortization schedule but with a reduction in the interest rate effective on August 2, 2013 (in regards to Eurodollar Rate Loans, from 3.50% plus the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate with a 1.00% floor for the Existing Term Loan B to 2.75% plus the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate with a 1.00% floor for the New Term Loan B; and in regards to Base Rate Loans, from 2.50% plus the Base Rate with a 2.00% floor for the Existing Term Loan B to 1.75% plus the Base Rate with a 2.00% floor for the New Term Loan B), and (ii) amends certain covenants and terms of the Credit Agreement to increase the Company’s capacity under the Credit Agreement to make restricted junior payments, including share repurchases and issuance of dividends. The Company increased its general restricted junior payments basket to $250 million (from $25 million) and increased the total net leverage allowable to 4.0x (from 3.5x) for using unused excess cash flow for restricted junior payments. In addition, in conjunction with the execution of the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company affected a voluntary $200 million prepayment of the New Term Loan B. Immediately following this prepayment, the principal amount outstanding on the New Term Loan B is approximately $1.285 billion.

The above description of the Credit Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement Amendment itself, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
