(c) Section 1.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the word "or" at the conclusion of subsection 1.7(l), replacing the "." at the conclusion of subsection 1.7(m) with "; or" and adding a new subsection 1.7(n) as follows:

"(n) has been acquired from an entity that (i) is subject to any Sanction on any specially designated nationals list maintained by OFAC or that is operating, organized or resident in a Sanctioned Country or (ii) is owned or controlled by any Person described in the foregoing clause (i)."

(d) Section 1.9 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the reference to "first Business Day" in clause (b) therein, and substituting therefor a reference to "first day".

(e) Section 1.14 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

"1.14 Access.  Each Credit Party that is a party hereto shall, during normal business hours, from time to time upon two (2) Business Days’ prior notice as frequently as Agent reasonably determines to be appropriate (which with respect to field exams under clause (c) below, shall occur at least once in any 15 month period): (a) provide Agent and any of its officers, employees and agents access to its properties, facilities, advisors, officers and employees of each Credit Party and to the Collateral, (b) permit Agent, and any of its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, audit and make extracts from any Credit Party's books and records, and (c) permit Agent, and its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, review and evaluate the Accounts, Inventory and other Collateral of any Credit Party and make test verifications, including without limitation, field examinations and collateral audits, and counts of the Accounts, Inventory and other Collateral of any Credit Party (other than, prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, any verifications of Accounts requiring communications with the Account Debtors of any Credit Party).  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each such Credit Party shall provide such access to Agent and to each Lender at all times and without advance notice.  Furthermore, so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall provide Agent and each Lender with access to their suppliers and customers.  Each Credit Party

Each Credit Party shall deliver any document or instrument necessary for Agent, as it may from time to time request, to obtain records from any service bureau or other Person that maintains records for such Credit Party, and shall maintain duplicate records or supporting documentation on media, including computer tapes and discs owned by such Credit Party.  Agent will give Lenders at least five (5) days' prior written notice of regularly scheduled audits.  Representatives of other Lenders may accompany Agent's representatives on regularly scheduled audits at no charge to Borrowers. "

(f) Section 1.15 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new subsection 1.15(e) as follows:

"(e) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the effective date of the Fourth Amendment, the Borrowers and Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby shall authorize Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a "grandfathered obligation" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i)."

(g) Section 1.16(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof submitted by such Lender to Borrower Representative and to Agent shall be presumptive evidence of the matters set forth therein."

(h) Section 3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding new Sections 3.25 and 3.26 as follows:

"3.25 OFAC.  No Credit Party or director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or representative thereof, is or is owned or controlled by an individual or entity that is currently the subject or target of any Sanction or is located, organized, operating or resident in a country, territory or jurisdiction that is the subject of a Sanction."

If no such offered rate exists, such rate will be the rate of interest (in no event less than zero) per annum, as determined by Agent at which deposits of Dollars in immediately available funds are offered at 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) two (2) Business Days prior to the first day in such LIBOR Period by major financial institutions reasonably satisfactory to Agent in the London interbank market for such LIBOR Period for the applicable principal amount on such date of determination.

The terms and provisions of this Amendment are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of the Credit Parties, Agent and Lenders with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and there shall be no third party beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of this Amendment.

(b) Entire Agreement.  This Amendment, including all schedules and other documents attached hereto or incorporated by reference herein or delivered in connection herewith, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other understandings, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

-7-



 

(f) Conflict of Terms.  Except as otherwise provided in this Amendment, if any provision contained in this Amendment is in conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the provision contained in this Amendment shall govern and control.

(h) Incorporation of Credit Agreement.  The provisions contained in Sections 11.9 and 11.13 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference to the same extent as if reproduced herein in their entirety, except with reference to this Amendment rather than the Credit Agreement.

(i) Acknowledgment.  Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges its status as a Credit Party and affirms its obligations under the Credit Agreement and represents and warrants that there are no liabilities, claims, suits, debts, liens, losses, causes of action, demands, rights, damages or costs, or expenses of any kind, character or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent (collectively, the "Claims"), which any Credit Party may have or claim to have against Agent or any Lender, or any of their respective affiliates, agents, employees, officers, directors, representatives, attorneys, successors and assigns (collectively, the "Lender Released Parties"), which might arise out of or be connected with any act of commission or omission of the Lender Released Parties existing or occurring on or prior to the date of this Amendment, including, without limitation, any Claims arising with respect to the Obligations or any Loan Documents.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each Credit Party hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges the Lender Released Parties from any and all Claims that any Credit Party may have or claim to have, relating to or arising out of or in connection with the Obligations or any Loan Documents or any other agreement or transaction contemplated thereby or any action taken in connection therewith from the beginning of time up to and including the date of the execution and delivery of this Amendment.  Each Credit Party further agrees forever to refrain from commencing, instituting or prosecuting any lawsuit, action or other proceeding against any Lender Released Parties with respect to any and all Claims which might arise out of or be connected with any act of commission or omission of the Lender Released Parties existing or occurring on or prior to the date of this Amendment, including, without limitation, any Claims arising with respect to the Obligations or any Loan Documents.
