Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), entered into a five-year, $300 million, senior unsecured term loan agreement by and among the Company; the lenders from time to time party thereto; KeyBank National Association (&#147;KeyBank&#148;),
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner&nbsp;&amp; Smith Incorporated (&#147;MLPFS&#148;) and DNB Bank ASA, New York Branch (&#147;DNB&#148;, and together with KeyBank and MLPFS, collectively, in such capacity, the &#147;Co-Lead Arrangers&#148; and,
individually, each a &#147;Co-Lead Arranger&#148;), each as a lead arranger; KeyBank, MLPFS and DNB, each as a co-bookrunner (in such capacity, a &#147;Co-Bookrunner&#148;); Bank of America, N.A. (&#147;Bank of America&#148;) and DNB, each as a
co-syndication agent (in such capacity, a &#147;Co-Syndication Agent&#148;); Union Bank, N.A. and HSBC Bank USA, N.A., each as a co-documentation agent (in such capacity, a &#147;Co-Documentation Agent&#148;); and KeyBank, as administrative agent
(in such capacity, the &#147;Administrative Agent&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Amounts outstanding under the new term loan agreement will bear interest, at the Company&#146;s
option, at either the base rate, which is a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a)&nbsp;KeyBank&#146;s prime rate, (b)&nbsp;one-half of one percent in excess of the federal funds effective rate and (c)&nbsp;one percent in excess of the adjusted
Eurodollar rate (currently referred to as LIBOR) for a one month interest period on such day, or the adjusted Eurodollar rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin of, initially, 0 basis points, in respect of base rate loans and 75 basis points,
in respect of adjusted Eurodollar rate loans. Following a specified period after the closing date, the applicable margins will be determined quarterly by reference to a grid based upon the Company&#146;s ratio of funded debt to consolidated pro
forma EBITDA, as defined in the term loan agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The term loan will mature on September&nbsp;12, 2018 and will be subject to amortization of

customary restrictive covenants, as well as financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a certain total leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement. The term loan agreement also contains customary events of
default, the occurrence of which would permit the Administrative Agent to declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations of the Company under the agreement to be immediately due and payable. </P>

Delaware corporation, (ii)&nbsp;CooperVision International Holding Company, LP, an entity organized under the laws of England and Wales and registered in Barbados as an External Company under the laws of Barbados (the &#147;Foreign Borrower&#148;

Agent&#148;), to modify certain provisions of the Credit Agreement including Sections 7.03 and 7.08. The Amendment allows for liens to be granted under any allowable private, public, syndicated or bilateral form of indebtedness provided that the
liens have been or will be substantially simultaneously granted under the Credit Agreement on an equal and ratable basis pursuant to appropriate security documents. </P>

ITEM 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 12, 2013, The Cooper Companies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into a five-year, $300 million, senior unsecured term loan agreement by and among the Company; the lenders from time to time party thereto; KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank"),
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MLPFS") and DNB Bank ASA, New York Branch ("DNB", and together with KeyBank and MLPFS, collectively, in such capacity, the "Co-Lead Arrangers" and,
individually, each a "Co-Lead Arranger"), each as a lead arranger; KeyBank, MLPFS and DNB, each as a co-bookrunner (in such capacity, a "Co-Bookrunner"); Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America") and DNB, each as a
co-syndication agent (in such capacity, a "Co-Syndication Agent"); Union Bank, N.A. and HSBC Bank USA, N.A., each as a co-documentation agent (in such capacity, a "Co-Documentation Agent"); and KeyBank, as administrative agent
(in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent").
Amounts outstanding under the new term loan agreement will bear interest, at the Company's
option, at either the base rate, which is a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) KeyBank's prime rate, (b) one-half of one percent in excess of the federal funds effective rate and (c) one percent in excess of the adjusted
Eurodollar rate (currently referred to as LIBOR) for a one month interest period on such day, or the adjusted Eurodollar rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin of, initially, 0 basis points, in respect of base rate loans and 75 basis points,
in respect of adjusted Eurodollar rate loans. Following a specified period after the closing date, the applicable margins will be determined quarterly by reference to a grid based upon the Company's ratio of funded debt to consolidated pro
forma EBITDA, as defined in the term loan agreement.
The term loan will mature on September 12, 2018 and will be subject to amortization of
principal of 5% per annum payable quarterly beginning October 31, 2016, with the balance payable at maturity.
The term loan agreement contains
customary restrictive covenants, as well as financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a certain total leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement. The term loan agreement also contains customary events of
default, the occurrence of which would permit the Administrative Agent to declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations of the Company under the agreement to be immediately due and payable.
The foregoing description of the term loan agreement set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text
of the agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
On September 12, 2013, the Company also
entered into Amendment No. 2 (the "Amendment") to its Credit Agreement, dated January 12, 2011 and amended on May 31, 2012 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"), by and among (i) The Cooper Companies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, (ii) CooperVision International Holding Company, LP, an entity organized under the laws of England and Wales and registered in Barbados as an External Company under the laws of Barbados (the "Foreign Borrower"
and together with the Company, each, a "Borrower" and collectively, the "Borrowers"), (iii) the lenders party thereto, and (iv) Keybank National Association, as the administrative agent (the "Administrative
Agent"), to modify certain provisions of the Credit Agreement including Sections 7.03 and 7.08. The Amendment allows for liens to be granted under any allowable private, public, syndicated or bilateral form of indebtedness provided that the
liens have been or will be substantially simultaneously granted under the Credit Agreement on an equal and ratable basis pursuant to appropriate security documents.
The foregoing description of Amendment No. 2 set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
