Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have advised Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPFS”, which term shall include, in each case, MLPFS’s designated affiliate for any purpose hereunder), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”) and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo Securities” and, together with Bank of America, MLPFS and Wells Fargo Bank, the “Commitment Parties”, “we” or “us”) that you (the “Borrower”) intend to acquire (the “Acquisition”), directly or indirectly, the entity identified to us by you as “Seahawk”, a Delaware corporation (the “Acquired Company”). You have further advised us that, in connection with the foregoing, you and the newly formed entities referred to in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Transaction Description”) intend to consummate the other Transactions described in the Transaction Description, including the provision to you of the Bridge Facility (as defined below), after which the Acquired Company will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Borrower. In connection with the foregoing, you have also separately engaged us to (i) arrange a $1.25 billion delayed-draw term facility on the terms separately agreed between you and us (the “Delayed Draw Term Facility”, and the date upon which the credit documentation in respect of such Delayed Draw Term Facility has been entered into and has become effective, the “Term Facility Effective Date”) and (ii) seek required lender consents to an amendment (the “Amendment”, and the effective date of such Amendment, the “Amendment Effective Date”) to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2014, among you, the other borrowers from time to time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders, swing line lenders and L/C issuers from time to time party thereto (the “Existing Credit Agreement” and as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) on the terms specified in the Summary of Amendment Terms (as defined below).
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Transaction Description, the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Summary of Bridge Terms”), and the Summary of Amendment Terms attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Summary of Amendment Terms”); this commitment letter together with Exhibits A, B, C and D hereto, collectively, the “Commitment Letter”). The Borrower, the Acquired Company and their respective
subsidiaries from and after the Closing Date, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Companies”. The Acquired Company and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as the “Acquired Companies”.
1.Commitments. In connection with the foregoing, (a)(i) each of Bank of America and Wells Fargo Bank is pleased to advise you of its several commitment to provide 60% and 40% of Tranche A of the Bridge Facility respectively, (ii) each of Bank of America and Wells Fargo Bank is pleased to advise you of its several commitment to provide 60% and 40% of Tranche B of the Bridge Facility respectively and (iii) each of Bank of America and Wells Fargo Bank is pleased to advise you of its several commitment to provide 60% and 40% of Tranche C of the Bridge Facility respectively (in each case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, in such capacity, the “Initial Lenders”), (b) Bank of America is pleased to advise you of its willingness, and you hereby engage Bank of America, to act as the sole and exclusive administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Bridge Facility, all upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter, (c) Wells Fargo Bank is pleased to advise you of its willingness, and you hereby engage Wells Fargo Bank, to act as a syndication agent for the Bridge Facility and (d) each of MLPFS and Wells Fargo Securities is also pleased to advise you of its willingness, and you hereby engage MLPFS and Wells Fargo Securities, to act as the joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (in such capacity, the “Lead Arrangers”) for the Bridge Facility, and in connection therewith to form a syndicate of lenders for the Bridge Facility (collectively, the “Lenders”) reasonably acceptable to you, including Bank of America and Wells Fargo Bank. It is understood and agreed that (x) MLPFS will have “lead left” placement on all marketing materials relating to the Bridge Facility and (y) no additional agents, co-agents or arrangers will be appointed and no other titles will be awarded with respect to the Bridge Facility without our and your mutual consent.
The commitments of the Initial Lenders in respect of the Bridge Facility and the undertaking of the Lead Arrangers to provide the services described herein are subject only to the satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 below.
2.Syndication. The Lead Arrangers (x) intend to commence syndication of Tranche A of the Bridge Facility, (y) upon a determination by the Lead Arrangers that the Term Facility Effective Date is not likely to occur on or prior to the Closing Date (which determination shall be made on the 30th day following the date of this Commitment Letter (or such later date as may be agreed by the Lead Arrangers)), intend to commence syndication of the Tranche B of the Bridge Facility and (z) upon a determination by the Lead Arrangers that the Amendment Effective Date is not likely to occur on or prior to the Closing Date (which determination shall be made on the 30th day following the date of this Commitment Letter (or such later date as may be agreed by the Lead Arrangers)), intend to commence syndication of Tranche C of the Bridge Facility, in each case at any time after your acceptance of the terms of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (as hereinafter defined);provided, however, that notwithstanding the assignment provisions in this Commitment Letter and anything else to the contrary contained herein, (a) until the date that is 60 days after the date hereof, the selection of Lenders by the Lead Arrangers shall be subject to the Borrower’s approval in its sole discretion and (b) following the date that is 60 days after the date hereof, if and for so long as a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) has not been achieved, the selection of Lenders by the Lead Arrangers shall be in consultation with the Borrower;provided, further, that such Lenders selected by the Lead Arrangers pursuant to this clause (b) shall be limited (unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to commercial and investment banks, in each case, whose senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness has an “investment grade” rating by not less than two of Moody’s (as defined below), S&P (as defined below) and Fitch Ratings Ltd. (other than (i) certain competitors of the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries identified in writing from time to time or (ii) institutions designated in writing by you at any time on or prior to the date of this Commitment Letter (such competitors and institutions (including their respective named affiliates designated in writing from time to time or otherwise clearly identifiable as
-2-
affiliates solely on the basis of their name (other than bona fide fixed income investors or debt funds unless designated in writing on or prior to the date hereof)) collectively, the “Disqualified Institutions”; provided that any supplementation after the date hereof under clause (i) above shall not apply retroactively to disqualify any parties that have previously acquired an assignment or participation interest in the Bridge Facility). Each Initial Lender’s commitment hereunder shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar on a pro rata basis as and when commitments for the Bridge Facility are received from Lenders selected in accordance with this Section 2, to the extent that each such Lender becomes party to the Credit Documentation as a “Lender” (including, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement executed pursuant to the Credit Documentation) or otherwise party to this Commitment Letter pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers and you (collectively, “Joinder Documentation”).
You agree, upon the request of the Lead Arrangers, to assist, and to use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries to assist, the Lead Arrangers in achieving a syndication of the Bridge Facility that is reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers and you. Such assistance shall include (a) your assisting (and your using your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Company to assist) in the preparation of a customary confidential information memorandum and lender presentation with respect to the Bridge Facility and other marketing materials reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers to be used in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (collectively, the “Information Materials”), subject in all respects to the limitations on your rights to request such information concerning the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, (b) your using your commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Lead Arrangers such that their syndication efforts benefit from your existing banking relationships and the existing banking relationships of the Acquired Company, (c) your using your commercially reasonable efforts to obtain prior to the Closing Date, public corporate credit or family ratings of the Borrower after giving effect to the Transactions and public ratings for the New Notes and the Seahawk Notes (if remaining outstanding as of the Closing Date) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) (collectively, the “Ratings”), (d) your agreeing that during the Syndication Period there shall be no competing offering, placement or arrangement of any syndicated bank financing or underwritten or privately placed debt securities by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, in each case that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely impair the primary syndication of the Bridge Facility (other than (i) the Amendment, (ii) the New Notes, (iii) the New Term Loans and (iv) any borrowing under the Existing Credit Agreement) and (e) your making your senior management and advisors available, and, upon request of the Lead Arrangers, using your commercially reasonable efforts to make the senior management and advisors of the Acquired Company available, from time to time to attend and make presentations regarding the business of the Borrower, the Acquired Company and their respective subsidiaries, as appropriate, at one or more meetings of, or conference calls with, existing or prospective Lenders, as applicable, in all cases at times and locations to be mutually agreed (it being understood as of the date hereof that no formal in-person bank meeting is expected for the syndication of the Bridge Facility). Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth above, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Fee Letter, the Commitment Parties acknowledge and agree that neither the commencement nor the completion of the syndication of the Bridge Facility (including a Successful Syndication), nor the obtaining of the Ratings, nor any other provision of this paragraph shall constitute a condition precedent to the availability and initial funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date.
It is understood and agreed that the Lead Arrangers will manage and control all aspects of the syndication of the Bridge Facility in consultation with you, including decisions as to the selection (subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2) of prospective Lenders and any titles offered to proposed Lenders, when commitments will be accepted and the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders. It is understood that no Lender participating in the Bridge Facility will receive compensation from you in order to obtain its commitment, except on the terms contained herein and in the
-3-
Summary of Terms. It is also understood and agreed that the amount and distribution of the fees among the Lenders will be at the discretion of the Lead Arrangers in consultation with you, subject to the terms and provisions of the Fee Letter.
3.Information Requirements. You hereby represent that, to your knowledge with respect to the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries, (a) all written information concerning you and your subsidiaries and the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries, other than Projections (as defined below), other forward-looking information and information of a general economic or industry-specific nature, if any, which has been or is hereafter made available to the Lead Arrangers or any of the Lenders by you or any of your representatives (or on your or their behalf) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto from time to time), and (b) all financial projections concerning the Borrower, the Acquired Company and their respective subsidiaries that have been or are hereinafter made available to the Lead Arrangers by you or on behalf of you or any of your representatives (the “Projections”) have been or will be prepared in good faith and to management’s knowledge and belief have been or will be based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time such Projections are furnished to the Lead Arrangers (it being understood that Projections are subject to significant uncertainty and contingencies many of which are beyond your control, and no assurance can be given that the Projections will be realized, and that actual results may differ from projected results and that such differences may be material). You agree that if, at any time from the date hereof until the earlier of (A) the achievement of a Successful Syndication and (B) 60 days following the Closing Date (such period, the “Syndication Period”) (or, if later, the Closing Date), you become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information or the Projections were being furnished and such representation were being made at such time, you will (or, prior to the Closing Date with respect to Information and Projections concerning the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries, you will, subject to the limitations on your rights as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to) furnish us with supplements to the Information and the Projections, in each case from time to time, so that the representation in the preceding sentence remain correct in all material respects; provided that such supplementation shall cure any breach of such representation. In accepting this commitment and in syndicating the Bridge Facility, the Lead Arrangers are and will be using and relying on the Information and the Projections without independent verification thereof.
You acknowledge that the Commitment Parties on your behalf will make available Information Materials to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information Materials on SyndTrak. In addition, if in connection with any syndication of the Bridge Facility, the Lead Arrangers request, you will assist in preparing Information Materials suitable for distribution to any prospective Lender (each, a “Public Lender”) that has personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws, “MNPI”) with respect to the Companies, their respective affiliates or any other entity, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing. You agree, however, that the Credit Documentation (as hereinafter defined) will contain provisions concerning Information Materials to be provided to Public Lenders and the absence of MNPI therefrom. Prior to distribution of Information Materials to prospective Lenders, you shall provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination thereof (which shall include (a) customary exculpation language and (b) reasonable limitations with respect to the dissemination of Information Materials to Public Lenders).

You further agree to reimburse the Initial Lenders and the Lead Arrangers from time to time promptly after demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable due diligence expenses and CUSIP fees for registration with the Standard & Poor’s CUSIP Service Bureau) incurred in connection with the Bridge Facility, the syndication thereof, the preparation of the definitive documentation therefor and the other transactions contemplated hereby (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, whether or not the Closing Date occurs, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one counsel, which shall be Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Initial Lenders and the Lead Arrangers, taken as a whole) and in all other cases, if the Closing Date occurs (or in the case that the Closing Date does not occur, limited to (i) up to $20,000 in the aggregate for Bank of America and MLPFS and (ii) up to $10,000 in the aggregate for Wells Fargo Bank and Wells Fargo Securities). You acknowledge that we may receive a benefit, including without limitation, a discount, credit or other accommodation, from any of such counsel based on the fees such counsel may receive on account of their relationship with us including, without limitation, fees paid pursuant hereto.
(b) You agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Commitment Parties (other than, with respect to MLPFS, in its capacity as the buy-side financial advisor to you), each Lender and each of their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same are incurred for) any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one counsel, representing all of the Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole (except to the extent that any Indemnified Party reasonably determines that separate counsel is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest)) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party within 30 days following written demand therefor setting forth in reasonable detail a description of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (a) any matters contemplated by this Commitment Letter or (b) the Bridge Facility or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds thereof, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) such Indemnified Party’s material breach of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or any of the Credit Documentation, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (but in the case of any such material breach, only if the claim of such material breach is brought by you) or (y) disputes solely among Lenders not involving any act or omission of you or your subsidiaries (other than any Proceeding (as defined below) against any Commitment Party solely in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Administrative Agent or Lead Arranger or similar role in connection with the Bridge Facility). In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such Proceeding is brought by you, your equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. It is agreed that no party hereto shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to any other party or such party’s subsidiaries or affiliates or to its or their respective equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent of direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such party’s material breach of this Commitment Letter, gross negligence,
-5-
bad faith or willful misconduct;provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit your indemnification obligations to the extent set forth hereinabove to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such indemnified person is entitled to indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, no party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, unless such damages are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such party’s material breach of this Commitment Letter, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. You shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault.

For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties in the Credit Documentation relating to the Borrower’s corporate status; the Borrower’s corporate power and authority to enter into the Credit Documentation; due authorization, execution, delivery by the Borrower and enforceability of the Credit Documentation; no conflicts of the Credit Documentation with, or require consent under, the Borrower’s charter documents; solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Acquisition); Federal Reserve margin regulations; the use of proceeds not violating OFAC / FCPA; the USA Patriot Act and the Investment Company Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may make public announcements of the Transactions and disclose the existence of the commitments and undertakings made hereunder and the respective roles of the Lead Arrangers and the Initial Lenders in connection with the Transactions after your acceptance of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter;provided that you agree to consult with the Lead Arrangers with respect to any portions of any announcement that name, or provide information that would readily permit identification of, any Lead Arranger or Initial Lender. This paragraph shall terminate (as it relates to the Commitment Letter but not as it relates to the Fee Letter) on the eighteen month anniversary of the date hereof.

This paragraph shall terminate on the earlier of (x) the eighteen month anniversary of the date hereof and (y) the execution of the Credit Documentation (in which case superseded by the confidentiality provision of the Credit Documentation).

In particular, you acknowledge that MLPFS is acting as a buy-side financial advisor to you in connection with the Acquisition.
