Material Changes

This amendment refinances the existing Original Term B Loans with the new $4.75 billion facility. Proceeds from the new loans were used to repay the Original Term B Loans and associated accrued fees in full.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The Senior Secured Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including a change of control. The agreement includes a pricing adjustment mechanism: if incremental term B loans incurred within six months have rates more than 0.75% higher than the new loans, the interest rate on the Refinancing Term B-1 Loans will be increased to match the incremental loans minus 0.75%.
