(1) The Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor, the subsidiaries of the Borrowers party thereto, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the other financial institutions party thereto entered into a Global Senior Credit Agreement dated as of August 15, 2013 (the “Existing Revolving Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the same meanings as specified in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended hereby;

(2) The Administrative Agent and the Borrowers wish to amend the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement to address recent changes made by the Association of Banks in Singapore and the Singapore Foreign Exchange Market Committee to the recommended process of determining LIBOR for borrowings in Singapore Dollars; and

(3) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and Required Lenders have agreed to amend the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

(a) The definition of “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting the word “and” at the end of clause (v) thereof and (ii) adding a new clause (vii) to read in full as follows:

“(vii) with respect to the Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, the available Interest Period durations shall be one, three and six months only; and”

(b) The definition of “Market Disruption Event” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the words “11:00 A.M. (Singapore time)” in the second line thereof with “12:00 P.M. (London time)”.

(c) The definition of “Singapore Business Day” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the words “and London, England” immediately before the period at the end thereof.

(d) The definition of “SOR” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

““SOR” means in relation to (a) any Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Advance in Singapore Dollars, (i) the rate appearing under the caption “SGD SOR Rates” on the ABSFIX01 of the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Services at 12:00 P.M. (London time) on the applicable Quotation Day or (ii) if no such rate is available, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent as the rate quoted to leading banks in the Singapore interbank market as of 12:00 P.M. (London time) on the Quotation Day for the offering of deposits in Singapore Dollars for a period comparable to the applicable Interest Period, and (b) any Swing Line Advance in Singapore Dollars, (i) the rate quoted to the Administrative Agent by Citibank, N.A., Singapore Branch, as the rate in the Singapore interbank market as of 12:00 P.M. (Singapore time) on the day of such Swing Line Advance or (ii) if no such rate is available, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent as the rate quoted to leading banks in the Singapore interbank market as of 12:00 P.M. Singapore time on the day of such Swing Line Advance.”

SECTION 2.Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the first date (the “Amendment Effective Date”) on which, and only if, each of the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:

(b) All of the accrued fees of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent) due and payable on the Amendment Effective Date shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 3.Reference to and Effect on the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement, the Notes and the Loan Documents.

(b) The Existing Revolving Credit Agreement, the Notes and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.

(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

(d) This Amendment shall not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, except to any extent modified hereby or as provided in the exhibits hereto. Nothing implied in this Amendment or in any other document contemplated hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any of the Loan Parties from the Loan Documents.

SECTION 5.Execution in Counterparts.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
