(d)          receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the date hereof signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching resolutions adopted by the board of directors or equivalent governing body of such Loan Party approving this Amendment and (B) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, after giving effect to this Amendment, (1) the representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, in each case, other than with respect to the Audit Events, and (2) no Default exists after giving effect to this Amendment.







7.          Payment of Fees and Expenses.  Without limiting the Loan Parties’ obligations under Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall, promptly, and in any event within 5 Business Days of demand therefor, reimburse (i) the Administrative Agent for all fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including without limitation, all fees and expenses of US, Mexican and Canadian counsel to the Administrative Agent and financial advisors to the Administrative Agent and all appraisal, inspection and other costs incurred by the Administrative Agent) and (ii) each Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses of, and fees and expenses of counsel to, such Lender, in each case, incurred in connection with the Loan Documents, including without limitation this Amendment.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to provide invoices to the Borrower at the end of each two-week period, as required under the Tenth Amendment.







8.          Release.  In consideration of the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ willingness to enter into this Amendment, each of the Loan Parties hereby releases and forever discharges the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each of the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ predecessors, successors, assigns, officers, managers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, and affiliates (hereinafter all of the above collectively referred to as the “Lender Group”), from any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, damages, debts, suits, liabilities, actions and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, in each case to the extent arising in connection with the Loan Documents or any of the negotiations, activities, events or circumstances arising out of or related to the Loan Documents through the date of this Amendment, whether arising at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, whether liability be direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, whether absolute or contingent, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not heretofore asserted, which any of the Loan Parties may have or claim to have against any entity or other Person within the Lender Group.







9.          Amendment is a “Loan Document”.  This Amendment is a Loan Document and all references to a “Loan Document” in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all such references in the representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents) shall be deemed to include this Amendment.







10.          Representations and Warranties; No Default.  Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that (a) any forecasts of cash flows and other projections delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender prior to the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date reflect the Borrower’s good faith estimate of the matters described therein, (b) the representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, in each case, other than with respect to the Audit Events, and (c) after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default exists, including without limitation any Default under Section 8.01(e) of the Credit Agreement.



12










11.          No Other Changes.  Except as modified hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.







12.          Counterparts; Delivery.  This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as an original.







13.          Amendment, Modification and Waiver.  This Amendment may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed and delivered on behalf of each of the parties hereto.


14.          Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be deemed to be a contract made under, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Indiana.
