On December 3, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), Prime Security Services Borrower, LLC (the “Borrower”), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ADT Inc. (“ADT”), successfully raised an additional $425.0 million of incremental term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) pursuant to an Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement No. 7 (the “Incremental Agreement”) by and among the Borrower, as borrower, Prime Security Services Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of ADT (“Holdings”), certain of the Borrower’s subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and the other parties party thereto. The Incremental Agreement amended and restated the Sixth Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2015, as amended and restated on May 2, 2016, June 23, 2016, December 28, 2016, February 13, 2017, June 29, 2017 and March 16, 2018 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, Holdings, the lenders party thereto from time to time, the Administrative Agent and other parties named therein (as amended and restated by the Incremental Agreement, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) to provide for the incurrence by the Borrower of the Incremental Term Loans.

ADT intends to use the remaining proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans that are not required to fund the Acquisition, after giving effect to available funds on the Closing Date, for general corporate purposes, which may include the refinancing, redemption or repurchase of outstanding indebtedness.
The terms, conditions and covenants applicable to the Incremental Term Loans are the same as the terms, conditions and covenants applicable to the existing term loans under the Existing Credit Agreement. Additionally, the parties to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement continue to have the same obligations set forth under the Existing Credit Agreement.
