Re-pricing of the following:
$225.0 million four-year term loan from LIBOR+3.25% with a 1.00% LIBOR floor to LIBOR+2.25% with a 0.75% LIBOR floor, for an overall decrease of 125 basis points;
$406.2 million six-year term loan from LIBOR+3.75% with a 1.25% LIBOR floor to LIBOR+2.75% with a 1.00% LIBOR floor, for an overall decrease of 125 basis points; and

Modification for mandatory prepayments resulting from any Restricted Payments (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement), including share repurchases or shareholder dividends:
100% prepayment for every $1 of Restricted Payments if Debt to Total Capitalization is greater than 25.0% (previously 22.5%);
33.3% prepayment for every $1 of Restricted Payments if Debt to Total Capitalization is less than or equal to 25.0% and greater than 20.0% (previously less than or equal to 22.5% but greater than 17.5%);
There will be no required prepayment if Debt to Total Capitalization is less than or equal to 20.0% (previously 17.5%).

There will be a 1.00% fee in connection with any repricing of the six-year term loan facility that reduces the interest rate prior to the date that is 6 months after the closing of the First Amendment.

The foregoing description of the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
