(b)    A new Section 2.10 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement to read in its entirety as follows:
“SECTION 2.10    Extension of Maturity Date. 


(a)     At least 45 days but not more than 60 days prior to any anniversary of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, the US Borrower, by written notice (each, an “Extension Notice”) to the Administrative Agent, may request an extension of the Maturity Date in effect at such time by one year from its then scheduled expiration; provided that in no event shall (i) the US Borrower make more than two (2) such requests during the term of this Agreement, (ii) there be more than three (3) separate Maturity Dates at any time and (iii) the Maturity Date be extended beyond November 20, 2021.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request, and each Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not later than 20 days following the date of such Extension Notice, notify the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such extension.  If any Lender shall fail to notify the Administrative Agent and the US Borrower in writing of its consent to any such request for extension of the Maturity Date within 20 days following the date of such Extension Notice, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender with respect to such request.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the US Borrower not later than 15 days prior to the applicable anniversary date (or such later time as agreed between the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent) of the decision of the Lenders regarding the US Borrower’s request for an extension of the Maturity Date.


(b)     If all the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.10, the Maturity Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable anniversary date (each, an “Extension Date”), be extended for one year; 

3






provided that on each Extension Date, the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 shall be satisfied.  If fewer than all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.10, the Maturity Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable Extension Date and subject to subsection (d) of this Section 2.10, be extended as to those Lenders that so consented (each an “Extending Lender”) but shall not be extended as to any other Lender (each a “Non-Extending Lender”).  To the extent that the Maturity Date is not extended as to any Non-Extending Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10 and the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender is not assumed in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 2.10 on or prior to the applicable Extension Date, each Revolving Credit Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender shall automatically terminate in whole on such unextended Maturity Date without any further notice or other action by the US Borrower, such Non-Extending Lender or any other Person.  It is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the US Borrower for any requested extension of the Maturity Date.  The failure of a Lender to respond to a notice of such an increase will be deemed an election by such Lender not to participate therein.


(c)     If fewer than all of the Lenders consent to any such request pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.10, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Extending Lenders, and each Extending Lender may, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 10 days prior to the Extension Date (or such later time as agreed between the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent) of the amount of the Non-Extending Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments for which it is willing to accept an assignment.  If the Extending Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to accept assignments of Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders, such Revolving Credit Commitments shall be allocated among the Extending Lenders willing to accept such assignments in such amounts as are agreed between the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  If after giving effect to the assignments of Revolving Credit Commitments described above there remain any Revolving Credit Commitments of Non-Extending Lenders, the US Borrower may arrange for one or more Extending Lenders or other Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assuming Lender”) to assume, effective as of the Extension Date, any Non-Extending Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and all of the obligations of such Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement thereafter arising, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Non-Extending Lender; provided, however, that the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 unless the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender is less than $10,000,000, in which case such Assuming Lender shall assume all of such lesser amount; and provided further that:


(i)     such assignment or substitution shall (A) be in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 15.11 and (B) not conflict with Applicable Law; and 


(ii)    such Non-Extending Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under 

4






Section 5.9) from the Assuming Lender (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts).


At least five (5) Business Days prior to any Extension Date (or such later time as agreed between the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent), (A) each such Assuming Lender, if any, shall have delivered to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, duly executed by such Assuming Lender, such Non-Extending Lender, the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (B) any such Extending Lender shall have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent as to the increase in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment and (C) each Non-Extending Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent any Note or Notes held by such Non-Extending Lender.  Upon receipt of the executed Assignment and Assumption referenced in clause (A) above and the payment or prepayment of all amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, each such Extending Lender or Assuming Lender, as of the Extension Date, will be substituted for such Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement and shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, without any further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders, and the obligations of each such Non-Extending Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged.


(d)     If (after giving effect to any assignments or assumptions pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.10) Lenders having Revolving Credit Commitments equal to at least 50% of the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Extension Date consent in writing to a requested extension (whether by execution or delivery of an Assignment and Assumption or otherwise) not later than three (3) Business Days prior to such Extension Date (or such later time as agreed between the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall so notify the US Borrower, and, subject to (i) the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 6.2 and (ii) the written consent of the Borrower, the Maturity Date then in effect shall be extended for the additional one-year period as described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.10, and all references in this Agreement, and in the Notes, if any, to the “Maturity Date” shall, with respect to each Extending Lender and each Assuming Lender for such Extension Date, refer to the Maturity Date as so extended.  Promptly following each Extension Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) of the extension of the scheduled Maturity Date in effect immediately prior thereto and shall thereupon record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each such Extending Lender and each such Assuming Lender.


(e)    Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 5.4 or 15.2 to the contrary.”


(c)    Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending the introductory paragraph thereto to read as follows:
“The obligations of the Lenders to make or participate in any Extensions of Credit (including the initial Extension of Credit), convert or continue any Loan, any Issuing Lender to issue or extend any Letter of Credit and/or each extension of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 

5






2.10 are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent on the relevant borrowing, continuation, conversion, issuance or extension date:”
(d)    Section 8.5(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the reference to “$1,000,000” with “$5,000,000”.
(e)    Section 11.1(g) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
“(g)    Guaranty Obligations with respect to Indebtedness permitted pursuant to subsections (b) through (e) or subsections (k), (p) or (q) of this Section;”
(f)    Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting “and” at the end of subsection (i) thereof, (ii) replacing “.” with “; and” at the end of subsection (j) thereof and (iii) inserting a new subsection (k) thereto to read in its entirety as follows: 
“(k)    Liens securing vendor floor planning or other similar arrangements for the sale of goods or inventory entered into by the US Borrower or any Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business and provided that (i) such Liens do not at any time encumber any property other than the goods or inventory financed by such vendor floor planning or other similar arrangement and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness, liabilities, obligations or other amounts secured thereby does not exceed the lesser of (A) the original purchase price of such goods or inventory and (B) $1,000,000.”
