Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 7, 2013, Emergency Medical Services Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the credit agreement, dated as of May 25, 2011 (as amended, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”), among the Company, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other financial institutions and lenders from time to time party thereto, providing for a senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). Under the Amendment, the Company incurred an additional $150 million in incremental borrowings under the Term Loan Facility, the proceeds of which were used to pay down the Company’s asset-based credit facility. In addition, the rate at which the loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest was amended to equal (i) the higher of (x) the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars in the London interbank market (adjusted for maximum reserves) for the applicable interest period (“LIBOR rate”) and (y) 1.00%, plus, in each case, 3.00% (with a step-down to 2.75% in the event that the Company meets a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00), or (ii) the alternate base rate, which will be the highest of (w) the corporate base rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (x) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, (y) the one-month LIBOR rate (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% and (z) 2.00%, plus, in each case, 2.00% (with a step-down to 1.75% in the event that the Company meets a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00).

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
