(p)           Section 9.01(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following language immediately prior to the “or” appearing at the end of such section:

 

for the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of any Senior Notes becoming due and payable solely as a result of the redemption or other refinancing thereof using the proceeds of the Permitted Senior Note Refinancing Indebtedness in accordance with this Agreement shall not constitute an Event of Default under this clause (e) unless the Borrower fails to irrevocably deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the trustee under the Indenture that portion of the proceeds of the Permitted Senior Note Refinancing Indebtedness that is necessary to effectuate a satisfaction and discharge in accordance with Article 11 of the Indenture on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date;

 

(q)           Schedule 2.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth on Schedule 2.01 of this Amendment.

 

7.             Agent Financial Advisor.  The Loan Parties shall continue to provide the Agent Financial Advisor (as defined in Section 8 of the Second Amendment and Waiver) with reasonable access to the Loan Parties’ facilities, members of management and financial information as is necessary to perform the services within the scope of the Agent Financial Advisor’s Engagement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8 of the Second Amendment and Waiver, Section 9 of the Third Amendment and Waiver or Section 7 of the Fourth Amendment and Waiver, the Agent shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement from the Loan Parties for fees and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with services performed or expenses incurred by the Agent Financial Advisor from and after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date (defined below) to the extent that, in the absence of any Event of Default (after giving effect to this Amendment), such fees and expenses do not exceed $350,000 in the aggregate.

 

8.             Amendment Fee.  In consideration of the Lenders’ agreements set forth herein, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of each Consenting Lender (defined below), an amendment fee (the “Fifth Amendment Fee”) in an amount equal to seventy-five (75) basis points (0.75%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loan held by such Consenting Lender plus

 

10











 

the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitments (as reduced on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date pursuant to the terms of this Amendment).  The Fifth Amendment Fee shall be fully-earned, payable and non-refundable as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date (defined below).  As used herein, “Consenting Lender” means a Lender that executes and delivers to the Agent a signature page to this Amendment on or prior to 4:00 p.m. Central Time on July 15, 2016 (or, as to any Lender, such later time or date as may be agreed by the Agent and the Borrower) and that does not revoke or otherwise withdraw such signature page prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date.

 

9.             Effectiveness; Conditions Precedent.  This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof (the “Fifth Amendment Effective Date”) when, and only when, each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied or waived (or, in the case of clause (d) below, will be substantially contemporaneously satisfied on such date), in the sole discretion of the Agent and the Required Lenders:

 

(a)           The Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by each of the Loan Parties and each of the Required Lenders;

 

(b)           The Agent shall have received the Fifth Amendment Fee;

 

(c)           The Agent shall have received the financial information and other materials required pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of the Credit Agreement and the Compliance Certificate required pursuant to Section 7.02(b) of the Credit Agreement, in each case, with respect to the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016; provided that such Compliance Certificate may contain a statement that such Compliance Certificates and the related financial statements are being delivered subject to any good faith adjustments that may arise in connection with the Borrower’s financial accounting remediation and audit process;

 

(d)           The Loan Parties shall have irrevocably deposited (or caused to be deposited) with the trustee under the indenture a sufficient amount of the proceeds of the Permitted Senior Note Refinancing Indebtedness to effectuate a satisfaction and discharge in accordance with Article 11 of the Indenture in connection with the redemption of the Senior Notes;

 

(e)           The Loan Parties shall have paid all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Agent (including, without limitation, fees, costs and expenses of counsel and of the Agent Financial Advisor) incurred in connection with this Amendment, to the extent invoiced to the Borrower at least one Business Day prior to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date; and

 

(f)            The Agent shall have received such other documents, instruments and certificates as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably request.

 

10.          Incorporation of Amendment.  Except as specifically modified herein, the terms of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.  The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent under the Loan Documents, or constitute a waiver or amendment of any provision of the Loan Documents, except as expressly set forth herein.  This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document.

 

11.          Representations and Warranties.  The Loan Parties hereby represent and warrant to the Agent and the Lenders as follows as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date:

 

(a)           Each Loan Party has the corporate or other legal entity power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Amendment.

 

11











 

(b)           The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other legal entity action.

 

(c)           This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party.

 

(d)           This Amendment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by equity principles relating to enforceability.

 

(e)           The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Amendment does not and will not (i) contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organization Documents, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, any document evidencing any material Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which such Person or its property is subject or (iii) violate any Requirement of Law.

 

(f)            No approval, consent, exemption, authorization or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any court Governmental Authority or any other Person (except those that have been obtained and remain in effect and disclosure filings that are required to be made with the SEC) is necessary or required to be made or obtained by any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, such Loan Party of this Amendment.

 

(g)           After giving effect to this Amendment, (i) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof to the same extent as though made on and as of the date hereof except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(h)           The Liens held by the Agent in the Collateral continue to be valid, binding and enforceable perfected Liens in accordance with the Collateral Documents that secure the Obligations subject only to the Permitted Liens.

 

If any representation and warranty set forth in this Section 11 is incorrect on and as of the date hereof then such incorrect representation and warranty shall constitute a new and immediate Event of Default without regard to any otherwise applicable notice, cure or grace period.

 

12.          Release.  In consideration of the Agent’s and the Required Lenders’ willingness to enter into this Amendment, each of the Loan Parties hereby releases and forever discharges the Agent, the Lenders and each of the 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 each of the Loan Parties may have or claim to have against any of the Lender Group.

 

12











 

13.          No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Amendment and the rights and benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  No other Person shall have or be entitled to assert rights or benefits under this Amendment.

15.          Counterparts; Electronic Delivery.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Amendment to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as an original.

 

16.          No Actions, Claim.  As of the date hereof, each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and confirms that it has no actual knowledge of any actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature, in law or in equity, against any of the Lender Group arising from any action by such Persons or failure of such Persons to act under the Loan Documents on or prior to the date hereof.

 

17.          Governing Law.  This Amendment and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York

 

18.          Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.  The jurisdiction, service of process and waiver of jury trial provisions set forth in Sections 11.15 and 11.16 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference, mutatis mutandis.

 

19.          Further Assurances.  Each of the Loan Parties agrees to execute and deliver, or to cause to be executed and delivered, all such instruments that are consistent with the terms of this Amendment as may reasonably be requested by the Agent to effectuate the intent and purposes, and to carry out the terms, of this Amendment.

 

20.          Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.

 

(b)           Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.

 

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