Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 3, 2017, we renewed our relationship with Ensono, LP, the provider for certain of our data center operations, by entering into a First Amended and Restated Global Master Services Agreement (the “MSA”) with Ensono. Under the MSA and related Statements of Work, which replace our existing agreements with Ensono, Ensono will, among other services, continue to provide certain data center operations, network management functions, technology help and service desks and disaster recovery services. The initial term ends on December 31, 2021, and has an aggregate minimum spend commitment over the initial five year period of approximately $158 million, with three options to renew for a period of up to one year each, at our election.
