Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the same meanings as specified in the Credit Agreement.

 

The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

SECTION 1.                            Amendment to Credit Agreement.  Section 5.02(p) of the Credit Agreement is, upon the occurrence of the First Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Section 3 below), hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“Subsidiary Guarantor Requirements.  Cause or permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to incur Indebtedness other than trade payables in the ordinary course of business or otherwise permitted by Section 5.02(b).”

 

SECTION 2.                            Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that the representations and warranties contained in each of the Loan Documents (as amended or supplemented to date, including pursuant to this Amendment) are true and correct on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date (defined below), as though made on and as of such date (except for any such representation and warranty that, by its terms, refers to an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date).

 

SECTION 3.                            Conditions of Effectiveness.  This Amendment shall become effective as of the first date (the “First Amendment Effective Date”) on which, and only if, each of the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:

 

(a)                                 The Administrative Agent shall have received, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

 

(i)                                     (x)  counterparts of this Amendment executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and those Lenders comprising Required Lenders or, as to any of such Lenders, advice satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Lender has executed this Amendment, and (y) the consent attached hereto (the “Consent”) executed by each of the Guarantors.

 

(ii)                                  A certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of (a) the Borrower certifying the names and true signatures of the officers of the Borrower authorized to sign this Amendment and (b) each Guarantor certifying the names and true signatures of the officers of such Guarantor authorized to sign the Consent.

 

(b)                                 The representations and warranties set forth in each of the Loan Documents shall be correct in all material respects on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, as though made on and as of such date (except for any such representation and warranty that, by its terms, refers to a specific date other than the First Amendment Effective Date, in which case as of such specific date).

 











 

(c)                                  No event shall have occurred and be continuing, or shall result from the effectiveness of this Amendment, that constitutes a Default or an Event of Default.

 

(d)                                 Section 5.02(p) of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended as provided in Section 1 above, effective contemporaneously with the First Amendment Effective Date.

 

The effectiveness of this Amendment is conditioned upon the accuracy of the factual matters described herein.  This Amendment is subject to the provisions of Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 4.                            Reference to and Effect on the Loan Documents.

 

(a)                                 On and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in each of the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

 

(b)                                 The Credit Agreement, as specifically amended by this Amendment, is and shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.

 

(c)                                  The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

 

SECTION 5.                            Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration, modification and amendment of this Amendment and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the terms of Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 6.                            Execution in Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this letter by facsimile or as an attachment to an electronic mail message in .pdf, .jpeg, .TIFF or similar electronic format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this letter for all purposes.

 

SECTION 7.                            Governing Law.  This Amendment shall pursuant to New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401 be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
