Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 26, 2014, 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. 3 (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 evidences, among other things, 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”). The New Term Loan B has 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 February 26, 2014 (in regards to Eurodollar Rate Loans, from 2.75% plus the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate with a 1.00% floor for the Existing Term Loan B to 2.50% plus the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate with a 0.75% floor for the New Term Loan B; and in regards to Base Rate Loans, from 1.75% plus the Base Rate with a 2.00% floor for the Existing Term Loan B to 1.50% plus the Base Rate with a 1.75% floor for the New Term Loan B). The issue price of the New Term Loan B is 99.875% of the principal amount thereof. In conjunction with the execution of the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company effected a voluntary $25 million prepayment of the New Term Loan B. Immediately following this prepayment, the principal amount outstanding on the New Term Loan B is approximately $1.15 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.
