Section 1.1(c) of the Security Agreement is amended by deleting the definition of “Secured Hedging Agreement” in its entirety and, therefore, pursuant to Section 1.1(b) of the Security Agreement, all references to any “Secured Hedging Agreement” in the Security Agreement shall have the meaning given to such term in the Credit Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, such amendment is intended to broaden the definition and conform such definition to that in the Credit Agreement and any Hedging Agreement secured under the Credit Agreement on or prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment shall continue as so secured.

 

SECTION 3. Conditions Precedent.  The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the following conditions:

 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have received signature pages for this Amendment from Borrower and the Required Lenders;

(a) This Amendment is within Borrower’s organizational powers and has been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action on the part of Borrower.  This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes, a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.  This Amendment will not violate any Requirement of Law in any material respect, will not violate or result in a default or require any consent or approval under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Company or its property, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Company, except for violations, defaults or the creation of such rights that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b) After giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement or in any Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty that by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects as of a specified date).

SECTION 6. Security Agreement.  Except as specifically provided hereby, the Security Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the provisions thereof as in existence on the date hereof.  After the date hereof, any reference to the Security Agreement in any Loan Document shall mean the Security Agreement as modified hereby.

 

SECTION 7. Applicable Law.  This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

 

SECTION 8. Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute one contract.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or “pdf file” transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
