WHEREAS, Escrow Account balance as of date hereof is $578,336,434.79.

In accordance with Section 13 of the Original Escrow Agreement, the parties to the Original Escrow Agreement have agreed to amend the Original Escrow Agreement as follows subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment:

3. | If, at any time after 12:00 a.m., New York City time, on January 5, 2018, the Escrow Agent receives a certificate, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Amendment Effective Time Certificate”), the second paragraph of Section 20 of the Escrow Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“All capitalized terms used but not defined herein (including with respect to the Schedules and Annexes attached hereto) shall have the meanings given such terms in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended by that certain amendment dated as of December 8, 2017 (the “Charter Amendment” and as amended by the Charter Amendment, the “Charter”) or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the use of capitalized terms defined in the Charter or the Purchase Agreement is solely for the convenience of the Company and knowledge of the meanings of such capitalized terms contained in the Charter or the Purchase Agreement shall not be imputed to the Escrow Agent.”

If, at any time the Escrow Agent receives a certificate, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex D (the “Mandatory Redemption Certificate”) or Exhibit B (the “Fee Certificate”), the Escrow Agent shall, on the Escrow Release Date specified therein, disburse from the Escrow Account pursuant to the instructions set forth therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Escrow Agent receives the Mandatory Redemption Certificate at or after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) and the Escrow Release Date specified therein is the date the Escrow Agent receives such Mandatory Redemption Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to disburse from the Escrow Account pursuant to the instructions set forth therein on the same Business Day, but shall not be required to disburse from the Escrow Account until the next succeeding Business Day (which shall then become the Escrow Release Date); provided, that, if on the day the Escrow Agent receives the Mandatory Redemption Certificate the Escrow Property is invested in U.S. Government Securities, and the Escrow Release Date specified therein is the date the Escrow Agent receives such Mandatory Redemption Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to disburse from the Escrow Account pursuant to the instructions set forth therein, but if the Escrow Agent is unable to so disburse, the Escrow Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to disburse from the Escrow Account pursuant to the instructions set forth therein on the next succeeding Business Day (which shall then become the Escrow Release Date). The Escrow Agent shall be fully protected acting in reliance upon such Mandatory Redemption Certificate, and shall have no duty or obligation to determine whether such Mandatory Redemption Certificate complies with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, any amendments thereto or otherwise.”

7. | Except as the Original Escrow Agreement has been expressly amended by this Amendment, the Original Escrow Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its provisions. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Section 13 of the Original Escrow Agreement. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed an original, but such counterparts together constitute one and the same Amendment.
