(b)Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement, Increase in Commitments, is hereby modified and amended by deleting clause (d) of such section in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:


“(d)    Any amendment hereto solely for Incremental Commitments shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative (on behalf of the Borrowers) and the Lender(s) providing an Incremental Commitment.  As a condition precedent to any such Incremental Commitment, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of each Loan Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such Incremental Commitment; and (y) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and immediately after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct, except that such representations and warranties that relate solely to an earlier date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from any such Incremental Commitment; and (C) at the time of and immediately after giving effect to each such Incremental Commitment, the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 6.13 (on a Pro Forma Basis for the Test Period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b) ending immediately preceding such Incremental Commitment), which compliance shall be evidenced by the due completion, execution and delivery of a Compliance Certificate and based on the assumption that such Incremental Commitment was fully drawn on the first day of such Test Period, and (ii) such opinions of counsel, evidence of flood insurance, ratification agreements, amendments to the other Loan Documents (which amendments the Administrative Agent is authorized to execute on behalf of all Lenders), and other documents, certificates and information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; provided that flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders.”

(c)Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement, Insurance, is hereby modified and amended by deleting such section in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:


“SECTION 5.09.    Insurance.  Each Loan Party will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, maintain with financially sound and reputable carriers having a financial strength rating of at least A- by A.M.

The Borrowers will furnish to the Lenders, upon request of the Administrative Agent, information in reasonable detail as to the insurance so maintained.  All such insurance policies, to the extent such insurance policies by their terms insure any portion of the Collateral, shall name the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Parties) as an additional insured or as a loss payee, as applicable.”
(d)Section 5.13 of the Credit Agreement, Additional Collateral; Further Assurances; Post-Closing Letter Agreement, is hereby modified and amended by deleting clause (e) of such section in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:


“(e)    The Borrower Representative will promptly notify the Administrative Agent if any Borrower or any other Loan Party acquires any real or personal property with a fair market value in excess of $25,000,000 (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Security Agreements that are, as a result of actions previously taken, automatically subject to a valid, perfected first priority security interest or mortgage lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Parties) upon acquisition thereof), and, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers will promptly cause such assets to be subjected to a valid, perfected first priority security interest or mortgage lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Parties) securing the applicable Secured Obligations and will take, and cause, as reasonably practicable, the applicable Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, all at the expense of the Loan Parties; provided that it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that, the Administrative 


3







Agent shall not request and such Loan Party shall not deliver any Mortgage until the Lenders are reasonably satisfied with flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance.”
(e)Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement, Asset Sales, is hereby modified and amended by deleting the proviso at the end of such section in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:


“provided that all sales, transfers, leases and other dispositions permitted hereby shall be made for (x) fair value (other than those permitted by paragraphs (b), (f), (i), (k), (l), (m), (n), (p) and (q) above) and (y) at least 75% cash consideration (other than those permitted by paragraphs (b), (f), (i), (j), (l), (m), (p) and (q) above and other than any such sale, transfer, lease or other disposition (whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of assets with a fair market value up to $20,000,000), in each case other than Excluded Transactions (it being understood that the exclusions set forth in this proviso shall not limit the effect of Section 6.09); and provided, further, that no sale, transfer or other disposition shall be permitted under this Section 6.05, if prohibited under Section 6.03).”
2.No Other Amendments.  Except as expressly set forth above, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as an amendment, modification or waiver of any right, power or remedy of Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Except for the amendments set forth above, the text of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and the Loan Parties hereby ratify and confirm their obligations thereunder. This Amendment shall not constitute a modification of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or a course of dealing with Administrative Agent or the Lenders at variance with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents such as to require further notice by Administrative Agent or any Lender to require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future, except as expressly set forth herein. The Loan Parties acknowledge and expressly agree that Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve the right to, and do in fact, require strict compliance with all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (subject to any qualifications set forth therein), as amended herein.


3.Representations and Warranties.  In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Amendment by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants in favor of Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:

4







(b)This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;


(c)The representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, both before and after giving effect to this Amendment, except that such representations and warranties (i) that relate solely to an earlier date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (ii) shall be true and correct in all respects to the extent they are qualified by a materiality standard; and


(d)Immediately after giving effect hereto, no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default or would constitute an Event of Default but for the requirement that notice be given or time elapse or both.


4.Effectiveness.  This Amendment shall become effective as of the date set forth above upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent:
(a)this Amendment duly executed by the applicable Loan Parties, Administrative Agent, and the Required Lenders; and


(b)all other certificates, reports, statements, instruments or other documents as Administrative Agent may have reasonably requested prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment. 


5.Costs and Expenses.  The Borrowers agree to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment and any other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for Administrative Agent with respect thereto).


6.Affirmation of Guaranty/Loan Documents.  Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that as of the date hereof, the security interests and liens granted to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents are in full force and effect and are enforceable in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, and will continue to secure the Obligations. Additionally, by executing this Amendment, each U.S. Loan Guarantor and each Bermuda Loan Guarantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that all of its respective obligations and liability under the U.S. Guaranty and Bermuda Guaranty (as applicable) and all other Loan Documents to which such U.S. Loan Guarantor or Bermuda Loan Guarantor is a party remain in full force and effect, and that the execution and delivery of this Amendment and any and all documents executed in connection therewith shall not alter, amend, reduce or modify its obligations and liability under the U.S. Guaranty and Bermuda Guaranty and all other Loan Documents.


7.Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

9.Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with, and this Amendment and all matters arising out of or relating in any way whatsoever to this Amendment (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York, other than those conflict of law provisions that would defer to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. This governing law election has been made by the parties in reliance (at least in part) on Section 5-1401 of the General Obligation Law of the State of New York, as amended (as and to the extent applicable), and other applicable law.
