(a)                                 other than the representations and warranties with respect to the previously delivered financial statements for Fiscal Year 2012, Fiscal Year 2013, Fiscal Year 2014 and Fiscal Year 2015, the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects, on and as of the date hereof as made on and as of such date, except for any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects on and as of the date hereof as if made on and as of such date, (except for any such representation and warranty that by its terms is made only as of an earlier date, which representation and warranty shall remain true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, except for any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date);

 

(b)                                 no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default except for the Known Existing Events of Default and the Anticipated Events of Default and no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Waiver Termination Event except for the Known Existing Waiver Termination Events;

 

(c)                                  (i) the Borrower and each other Credit Party has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment, (ii) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each other Credit Party, and (iii) each of the Limited Waiver and Seventh Amendment to Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Limited Waiver and Seventh Amendment to Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties party thereto, enforceable against the Borrower or such Credit Party, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar state or federal debtor relief laws from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and the availability of equitable remedies, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

 

(d)                                 neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment, nor the consummation of any transactions contemplated herein, will conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower or any other Credit Party is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound or any Governmental Approval relating to the Borrower or to any Credit Party, except to the extent such conflict, breach or 

 

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LIMITED WAIVER AND SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 9

 

 

default, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and

 

(e)                                  no authorization, approval, consent, or other action by, notice to, or filing with, any governmental authority or other Person not already obtained (including the Board of Directors (or other similar governing body) of the Borrower and of each other Credit Party) is required for the execution, delivery or performance of this Amendment by the Borrower and the other Credit Parties.

 

6.                                      CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS AMENDMENT.  This Amendment shall be effective upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent:

(b)                                 the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment, duly executed by the Borrower and duly acknowledged and agreed to by each Subsidiary Guarantor;

 

(c)                                  the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Borrower, for the account of each Lender which has timely executed this Amendment, a waiver and amendment fee equal to fifty basis points (0.50%) of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender (based upon the Aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders of $69,000,000 after giving effect to this Amendment), which waiver and amendment fee shall be fully earned and non-refundable upon receipt;

 

(d)                                 the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Borrower payment of all costs and fees of the Administrative Agent which are unpaid and invoiced prior to the date of this Amendment, including those costs and fees related to travel costs and expenses, appraisals of real estate, appraisals of machinery and equipment, environmental reports, title insurance, legal fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses; and

8.                                      RELEASE.  As a material part of the consideration for the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender entering into this Amendment, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor (collectively, the “Releasors”) agree as follows (the “Release Provision”):

 

(a)                                 The Releasors, jointly and severally, hereby release and forever discharge the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Lender, each Lender and the Administrative Agent’s, the Swingline Lender’s, Issuing Lender’s and each Lender’s predecessors, successors, assigns, officers, managers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys and other professionals, representatives, parent corporations, subsidiaries, and affiliates (hereinafter all of the above collectively referred to as the “Lender Group”), from any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, damages, debts, agreements, covenants, suits, contracts, obligations, liabilities, accounts, offsets, rights, actions, and causes of action of any nature whatsoever and whether arising at law or in equity, presently possessed, whether known or unknown, whether liability be direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, presently accrued, whether absolute or contingent, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not heretofore asserted arising out of, arising under or related to the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Claims”), that Releasors may have or allege to have against any or all of the Lender Group and that arise from events occurring before the Third Amendment to Limited Waiver Agreement Effective Date.

 

(b)                                 The Releasors agree not to sue any of the Lender Group nor in any way assist any other person or entity in suing the Lender Group with respect to any of the Claims released herein.  The Release Provision may be pleaded as a full and complete defense to, and may be used as the basis for an injunction against, any action, suit, or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted, or attempted in breach of the release contained herein.

 

(c)                                  The Releasors acknowledge, warrant, and represent to Lender Group that:

 

(i)                                    The Releasors have read and understand the effect of the Release Provision.  The Releasors have had the assistance of independent counsel of their own choice, or have had the opportunity to retain such independent counsel, in reviewing, discussing, and considering all the terms of the Release Provision; and if counsel was retained, counsel for Releasors has read and considered the Release Provision and advised Releasors with respect to the same.  Before execution of this Amendment, the Releasors have had adequate opportunity to make whatever investigation or inquiry they may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the subject matter of the Release Provision.

 

(ii)                                The Releasors are not acting in reliance on any representation, understanding, or agreement not expressly set forth herein.  The Releasors acknowledge that Lender Group has not made any representation with respect to the Release Provision except as expressly set forth herein.

 

(iii)                            The Releasors have executed this Amendment and the Release Provision thereof as a free and voluntary act, without any duress, coercion, or undue influence exerted by or on behalf of any person or entity.

 

(iv)                             The Releasors are the sole owners of the Claims released by the Release Provision, and the Releasors have not heretofore conveyed or assigned any interest in any such Claims to any other person or entity.

 

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LIMITED WAIVER AND SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 11

 

 

(d)                                 The Releasors understand that the Release Provision was a material consideration in the agreement of the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, Issuing Lender and each Lender to enter into this Amendment.

 

(e)                                  It is the express intent of the Releasors that the release and discharge set forth in the Release Provision be construed as broadly as possible in favor of Lender Group so as to foreclose forever the assertion by the Releasors of any Claims released hereby against Lender Group.

 

(f)                                   If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of the Release Provision is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(g)                                 The Releasors acknowledge that they may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those that they now know or believe with respect to the Claims released herein, but the Releasors expressly shall have and intend to fully, finally and forever have released and discharged any and all such Claims.  The Releasors expressly waive any provision of statutory or decisional law to the effect that a general release does not extend to Claims that the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in such party’s favor at the time of executing the release.

 

9.                                      COSTS, EXPENSES AND TAXES.  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, reproduction, execution and delivery of this Amendment and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto).

 

10.                               SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS’ ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT.  By signing below, each Subsidiary Guarantor (a) acknowledges, consents and agrees to this Amendment, (b) acknowledges and agrees to any amendment to its obligations in respect of the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement made pursuant to this Amendment, (c) acknowledges and agrees that its obligations in respect of the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and the Security Agreement are not released, diminished, waived, modified, impaired or affected in any manner by this Amendment or any of the provisions contemplated herein, (d) ratifies and confirms its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and the Security Agreement, and (e) acknowledges and agrees that it has no claims or offsets against, or defenses or counterclaims to, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, the Security Agreement or any other Loan Documents or Obligations.

 

11.                               EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  For purposes of this Amendment, a counterpart hereof (or signature page thereto) signed and transmitted by any Person party hereto to the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) by facsimile machine, telecopier or electronic mail is to be treated as an original.  The signature of such Person thereon, for purposes hereof, is to be considered as an original signature, and the counterpart (or signature page thereto) so transmitted is to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original signature on an original document.

 

12.                               GOVERNING LAW.  This Amendment and the other Loan Documents and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Amendment or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as 

 

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LIMITED WAIVER AND SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 12

 

 

expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

 

13.                               WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

14.                               HEADINGS.  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.

 

15.                               ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  THIS AMENDMENT IS A LOAN DOCUMENT.  THE LIMITED WAIVER AND SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, EACH AS AMENDED BY THIS AMENDMENT, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS AMENDED BY THIS AMENDMENT, REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL  AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
