Section 1.                                           Amendment of Credit Agreement and Security Agreement. The Loan Parties, the Required Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the other parties hereto each agree that, in reliance on the representations and warranties set forth herein and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 hereof, (a) the Credit Agreement (together with the exhibits and schedules thereto) is, effective as of the Effective Date, hereby amended as reflected in the Amended Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto and (b) the Security Agreement is, effective as of the Effective Date, hereby amended as reflected in the Amended Security Agreement attached as Exhibit B hereto.

 











 

Section 2.                                           Representations and Warranties.  To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, each of the Loan Parties represents and warrants to each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank that, as of the date hereof:

 

(a)                                 the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV of the Amended Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof to the same extent as if 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 have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided that to the extent any such representation and warranty is already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects.

 

(b)                                 each Loan Party has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment and to perform its obligations under this Amendment and each of the Amended Loan Documents.  The execution and delivery of this Amendment and the performance by each Loan Party of this Amendment and each of the Amended Loan Documents have been duly approved by all necessary organizational action of each such Loan Party;

 

(c)                                  this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a party hereto and thereto and this Amendment is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability; and

 

(d)                                 no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

Section 3.                                           Reaffirmation.

 

(a)                                 Each Loan Party reaffirms its guaranty of the Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.  Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the terms and provisions of this Amendment and consents to the amendment of the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Amendment.  Each Loan Party hereby confirms that each Loan Document to which it is a party or is otherwise bound will continue to be in full force and effect as amended by this Amendment and all of its obligations thereunder shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Amendment.

 

(b)                                 It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Credit Agreement and Security Agreement be amended so as to preserve the perfection and priority of all Liens securing Indebtedness and Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that all Indebtedness and Obligations of the Loan Parties thereunder shall be secured by the Liens evidenced under the Security Documents and that neither this Amendment nor the transactions contemplated thereby constitute a novation or termination of the Indebtedness and Obligations existing under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or serve to terminate Sections 9.06, 10.02 or 10.03 of the Credit Agreement or any of the Borrowers’ obligations thereunder).  The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that

this Amendment constitutes an amendment of the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement made under and in accordance with the terms of Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 4.                                           Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness.  The effectiveness of this Amendment shall be subject to the following conditions precedent (the date on which such conditions have been satisfied (or waived) is referred to herein as the “Effective Date”).

 

(a)                                 the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the Borrowers, the Guarantors and the Collateral Agent; and

 

(b)                                 the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Required Lenders duly executed counterparts of this Amendment.

 

Section 5.                                           Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

(a)                                 The Parent and the Borrower Representative acknowledge and agree that each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or otherwise bound (except as expressly amended hereby) shall continue in full force and effect and that all of its obligations thereunder and the obligations of the other Loan Parties party thereto shall continue, shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Amendment.

 

(b)                                 This Amendment is limited as specified and shall not constitute a modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

(c)                                  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed and delivered (including by facsimile or electronic transmission) shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.  A complete set of counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent.

 

(d)                                 Each Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that delivers an executed counterpart of this Amendment on or prior to the Effective Date hereby consents to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(e)                                  THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

(f)                                   From and after the Effective Date, all references in the Credit Agreement, Security Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement, shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement, respectively, as

 

3











 

modified hereby.  This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.

 

(g)                                  This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Guarantors and each of their respective successors and assigns, and upon the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns.

 

(h)                                 Any provision of this Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
