“Section 6.3                             Specified Equity Contribution.  Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 3.2(m) and (n) and Section 6.2, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, solely for purposes of all calculations made in determining compliance with Sections 3.2(m) and (n) and Section 6.2, any cash equity contribution (which equity shall be common equity or other equity having terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) made to the Borrower by Magnum after the end of a Fiscal Quarter and on or prior to the day that is ten (10) Business Days after delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a written irrevocable notice of its intent to satisfy the conditions under Section 3.2 or to cure an Event of Default under Section 6.2 (which written notice shall be delivered on or prior to the date that is five (5) days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such Fiscal Quarter) will, at the request of the Borrower, be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for the purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants contained herein at the end of such Fiscal Quarter and each applicable subsequent period (any such equity contribution, a “Specified Equity Contribution”); provided that (i) after the earlier of (x) the First Lien Funding Date and (y) December 31, 2012, in each four (4) Fiscal Quarter period, there shall be at least two (2) Fiscal Quarters in respect of which no Specified Equity Contribution is made, (ii) after the earlier of (x) the First Lien Funding Date and (y) December 31, 2012, there shall be no more than four (4) Specified Equity Contributions in the aggregate made after such date, (iii) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Loan Parties to be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth above and (iv) a Specified Equity Contribution shall only be included in the computation of the financial covenant for purposes of determining compliance by the Loan Parties with Sections 3.2(m) and (n) and Section 6.2 and not for any other purpose under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any determination of the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Percentage, the Facility Availability Amount and availability under any baskets with respect to any covenants set forth herein).  Upon the making of a Specified Equity Contribution, the financial covenants in Sections 3.2(m) and (n) and Section 6.2 shall be recalculated giving effect to the increase in Consolidated EBITDA (but not including any prepayments of Indebtedness made with the proceeds of such Specified 

 

5

 

Equity Contribution); provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall exercise any rights or remedies (other than instituting Default Interest) with respect to any Event of Default that exists pursuant to Section 6.2 during the ten (10) Business Day period following notice by the Borrower that it intends to make such Specified Equity Contribution and affect such recalculation.  If, after giving effect to such recalculation, the Loan Parties are in compliance with the financial covenants, the Loan Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the financial covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date.”

 

4.                                      Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower represents and warrants as of the First Amendment Effective Date to the Administrative Agent and each Required Lender that:

(b)                           No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained by the Borrower in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Amendment;

 

(c)                            This Amendment (i) has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower and (ii) constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law);

 

(d)                           The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment, the borrowings under the Credit Agreement in connection herewith, and the use of the proceeds thereof will not result in a violation of any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower, and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its Properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Collateral Documents);

 

(e)                             After giving effect to the amendments set forth herein, the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents are true and accurate in all material respects as of the date hereof (other than those representations and warranties that are expressly qualified by a Material Adverse Effect or other materiality qualifier, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects, and those representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) with the same force and effect as if such had been made on and as of the date hereof; and

 

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

6.                                      Loan Documents.  

 

(a)  This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document, as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement.  This Amendment is not intended to nor shall it be construed to create a novation or accord and satisfaction with respect to any of the Obligations.

 

7.                                      Severability.

2.                                      Amendments to Credit Agreement.  In reliance on the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 below and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 below, the parties hereby agree to the following amendments.

(b)                           Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending the definition of “Make-Whole Amount” to replace each reference therein to “Section 2.10(b)(i)” with a reference to “Section 2.10(b)(ii)”.

 

(c)                            Section 2.10(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the words “after the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date” appearing in the first sentence of such Section.

(i)                                     at any time after the Closing Date but on or prior to the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date, with a premium equal to the Make-Whole Amount;

 

3.                                      Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower represents and warrants as of the First Amendment Effective Date to each Lender that:

(b)                           No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained by the Borrower in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Amendment;

(d)                           The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment, the borrowings under the Credit Agreement in connection herewith, and the use of the proceeds thereof will not result in a violation of any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower, and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its Properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Collateral Documents);

 

(e)                            After giving effect to the amendments set forth herein, the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents are true and accurate in all material respects as of the date hereof (other than those representations and warranties that are expressly qualified by a Material Adverse Effect or other materiality qualifier, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects, and those representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) with the same force and effect as if such had been made on and as of the date hereof; and

5.                                      Loan Documents.  

 

(a)  This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document, as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement.  This Amendment is not intended to nor shall it be construed to create a novation or accord and satisfaction with respect to any of the Obligations.

 

6.                                      Severability.  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.

 

7.                                      Integration.

10.                               Ratification; No Other Amendments; No Waiver. Except as expressly modified hereby, the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document are each hereby ratified and confirmed by the parties hereto and remain in full force and effect in accordance with the respective terms thereof.  Other than as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Amendment shall not be deemed to operate as an amendment or waiver of, or to prejudice, any right, power, privilege or remedy of any Lender, the Collateral Agent or any other Indemnitee under the Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, nor shall the entering into of this Amendment preclude any such Person from refusing to enter into any further amendments with respect to the Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  Other than as to otherwise expressly provided herein, this Amendment shall not constitute a waiver of compliance with any covenant or other provision in the Agreement or any other Loan Document or of the occurrence or continuance of any present or future Default or Event of Default.
