The Amendments, among other things:

 

·increase revolving credit commitments in each Revolving Credit Facility by $1.14 billion, resulting in aggregate credit commitments of $6.35 billion; and

·extend the termination date of one of the Revolving Credit Facilities from October 2026 to October 2030 while maintaining the October 2028 termination date for the other Revolving Credit Facility.

 

The Amendments also provide the Company with the ability to increase from time to time the aggregate capacity of the facilities to an amount (including all existing advances and commitments under the Revolving Credit Facilities) up to $8.35 billion under certain conditions, including the receipt of additional or increased lender commitments.

 

The amended Revolving Credit Facilities contain conditions, covenants, representations and warranties and events of default (with customary grace periods, as applicable) substantially similar to the conditions, covenants, representations and warranties and events of default that existed prior to their respective Amendment.

 

Certain of the lenders participating in the amended Revolving Credit Facilities, and affiliates of those parties, provide banking, investment banking and other financial services to the Company from time to time for which they have received, and will in the future receive, customary fees.

 

The foregoing description of the provisions of the Amendments is summary in nature and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Amendments, which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2.
