AMENDMENT NO. 1 AND CONSENT AGREEMENT
     This Amendment No. 1 and Consent Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated as of April 30, 2009 is entered into by and among BORGWARNER INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement (defined below)), the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement (defined below)) identified on the signature pages hereto, JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, as the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement prior to giving effect to this Agreement (in such capacity, the “Existing Administrative Agent”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Agreement (in such capacity, the “Replacement Administrative Agent”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
     WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders (including Bank of America), and the Existing Administrative Agent are all parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of July 22, 2004 (as amended hereby and as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).
     WHEREAS, the Existing Administrative Agent has provided, or pursuant hereto is providing, notice to the Borrower that it is resigning as the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(i) and Article VIII of the Credit Agreement (prior to giving effect to this Agreement), and the Borrower has requested that Bank of America become the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender under the Credit Agreement, and Bank of America has agreed to do so subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
     WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested, or pursuant hereto is requesting, pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement (prior to giving effect to this Agreement), that the Lenders agree to extend their Commitments to an extended Maturity Date of January 22, 2011, and certain of the Lenders are willing so to extend all or a portion of their respective Commitments subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and subject to reversion to the existing Maturity Date of July 22, 2009 under certain circumstances as more fully set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement (defined below).
     WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Replacement Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to amend the Credit Agreement as more specifically set forth herein (with the substitution of the Replacement Administrative Agent for the Existing Administrative Agent being deemed to have occurred prior to such amendments, as further provided below), and such Administrative Agent and Lenders party hereto have agreed to such amendments subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 


 

     NOW, THEREFORE, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date pursuant to Section 4 hereof and in consideration of these premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
     1. Replacement of Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender. Pursuant to its notice to the Borrower, delivered either prior to the date of this Agreement or pursuant to its signature to this Agreement, and notwithstanding any contrary provisions relating to notice or process in the Credit Agreement, effective upon the Effective Date (defined below) the Existing Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have resigned as the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, and Bank of America shall at such time become the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, all pursuant to an Agency Resignation, Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of the date hereof between the Existing Administrative Agent and the Replacement Administrative Agent (the “Agent Replacement Agreement”). The parties hereto, by their execution of this Agreement, agree to such resignation and replacement of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, and that such resignation and replacement, and the Agent Replacement Agreement, shall be deemed to have occurred and be effective upon the occurrence of the Effective Date immediately prior to the effectiveness of the extension (and related assignments, if any) and amendments set forth in paragraphs 2 and 3 below.
     2. Extension of Maturity Date and Related Assignments.
     (a) Pursuant to its notice to the Lenders, delivered either prior to the date of this Agreement or by this Agreement, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders agree to extend the Maturity Date of their Commitments under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 2.7 thereof (with such adjustments thereto as are provided herein) to an extended Maturity Date of January 22, 2011 (the “Extended Maturity Date”).
     (b) Each Lender that is willing to extend all or a portion of its Commitment, or an amount in excess of its Commitment in effect prior to the Effective Date, under the Credit Agreement to the proposed Extended Maturity Date as a Continuing Lender (such amount with respect to any Lender, its “Extended Commitment Amount”) has executed this Agreement and has indicated to the Borrower and the Replacement Administrative Agent the amount of its Commitment it is agreeing to extend to the Extended Maturity Date. All such extensions shall be pro rata among the Facilities of the Continuing Lenders.
     (c) The Commitments of Non-Extending Lenders and the portion of the Commitments of Continuing Lenders that are not extended in accordance with this Agreement (such amount with respect to any Lender, its “Non-Extended Commitment Amount”) shall continue to have the Maturity Date in effect prior to giving effect to this Agreement, July 22, 2009 (the “Existing Maturity Date”).
     (d) The Commitments of all Lenders in effect as of the Effective Date shall continue unchanged to the close of business on the Existing Maturity Date. Upon the close of business on the Existing Maturity Date, the Extended Commitment Amounts

2


 

shall immediately take effect, and at such time the Extended Commitment Amounts of the Continuing Lenders shall be as set forth on Schedule A hereto (after giving effect to any assignments deemed to have occurred on the Existing Maturity Date pursuant to paragraph 2(e) below).
     (e) In the event that the Extended Commitment Amount upon the occurrence of the Existing Maturity Date with respect to any Continuing Lender exceeds such Lender’s Commitment prior to the Existing Maturity Date (with respect to any Continuing Lender, its “Excess Extended Commitment”), then each Lender with a Commitment expiring on the Existing Maturity Date shall be deemed to have made an assignment, pro rata among them in accordance with their Non-Extended Commitment Amounts, to each Lender holding an Excess Extended Commitment. Such assignments shall be deemed to have occurred immediately at the close of business on the Existing Maturity Date, pursuant to the Borrower’s rights under Section 2.7(d) of the Credit Agreement, but without any further action (and without the need for any Assignment and Acceptance or other documentation) hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement; provided that in the event that any Loans are outstanding pursuant to any reduced Non-Extended Commitment Amounts, applicable payments of principal, interest and fees shall be made by the Borrower and/or the Lenders with Excess Extended Commitments, as the Replacement Administrative Agent may direct, in order to effectuate such deemed assignments.
     (f) After the Effective Date, the Borrower may exercise its rights to have Lenders holding Non-Extended Commitment Amounts assign such amounts to Lenders or prospective Lenders willing to agree to the Extended Maturity Date with respect to such Commitments, in each case in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.7(d) of the Credit Agreement, except that (i) such assignment may be required with respect to any Non-Extended Commitment Amount even if the applicable Lender is a Continuing Lender because it has agreed to the Extended Maturity Date hereunder with respect to a portion of its Commitment, and (ii) any such assignment shall only be effective upon the occurrence of the Existing Maturity Date. In the event any such assignment occurs, the Borrower and the proposed assignee shall inform the Replacement Administrative Agent, and Schedule A hereto shall be revised to show such assignment, so that Schedule A shows all Extended Commitment Amounts as of the close of business on the Existing Maturity Date.
     (g) The Extended Commitment Amounts set forth on Schedule A as of the Existing Maturity Date shall be effective pursuant to this paragraph 2 as of such date, without regard to any assignments by any Continuing Lenders after the Effective Date but prior to the Existing Maturity Date. The Schedule A prepared and provided by the Replacement Administrative Agent shall be conclusive as of the Existing Maturity Date absent manifest error.
     (h) The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the extension of the Maturity Date to the Extended Maturity Date is subject to the provisions of the Amended Credit

3


 

Agreement, and such Maturity Date may revert to July 22, 2009 under certain circumstances as more fully set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement.
     (i) The parties hereto hereby waive (i) any inconsistency between the timing of the proposed extension as set forth in this paragraph 2 of this Agreement and the timing of extensions generally required by Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement, including periods of notice, response and effectiveness, (ii) any inconsistency between this Agreement and Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement to the extent that any Lender is agreeing to extend some, but not all, of its Commitments pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) any requirement in Section 2.7(a) of the Credit Agreement that at least the Required Lenders consent to extend the Maturity Date with respect to their Commitments.
     (j) The extension of the Maturity Date with respect to the Extended Commitment Amounts pursuant to this paragraph 2 shall be deemed to have occurred on the Effective Date immediately after the replacement of the Administrative Agent set forth in paragraph 1 above and immediately prior to the amendments set forth in paragraph 3 below, despite the effectiveness of the Extended Commitment Amounts and Schedule A not taking effect until the Existing Maturity Date.
     (k) In the event that pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement the Maturity Date with respect to the Extended Commitment Amounts reverts to the Existing Maturity Date, as provided therein, Schedule A shall not be effective, and all Commitments shall mature as of the Existing Maturity Date.
     3. Amendments.
     (a) Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety so that, after giving effect to such amendment, it reads in the form set forth on Exhibit A hereto (in such form, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).
     (b) Additional Exhibits and Schedules. The following additional Exhibits and Schedules to the Credit Agreement are hereby added to the Credit Agreement, and have been or are being delivered in connection with this Agreement:

     (ii) a new Schedule 1.1 (Mandatory Cost Formulae) to the Credit Agreement, in the form of Annex A hereto;

     (c) Additional Amendment to Credit Agreement. After giving effect to the amendment set forth in paragraph 3(a) above, the Amended Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be further amended by adding one of the following provisions thereto:
     (i) if Lenders representing 100% of the Commitments have signed this Agreement (without regard to whether such Lenders have agreed to any extension of their Commitments pursuant to paragraph 2 above), then Section 2.19(b) of the Amended Credit Agreement shall be further amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
     (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest, fees and other Obligations then due hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, such funds shall be applied:
     First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
     Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations arising under the Loan Documents constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit fees under Section 2.13(b)) payable to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the Issuing Bank arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;
     Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit fees under Section 2.13(b) and interest on the Loans, LC Borrowings and other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Bank in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

     Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, to Cash Collateralize that portion of LC Exposures comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit; and
     Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.
     Subject to Section 2.6(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.

     (ii) if Lenders representing less than 100% of the Commitments have signed this Agreement (without regard to whether such Lenders have agreed to any extension of their Commitments pursuant to paragraph 2 above), then the following new Section 5.14 shall be added to the Amended Credit Agreement:
SECTION 5.14 Additional Amendment. On or promptly after July 22, 2009, enter into an amendment with the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders with Commitments at such time (and the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders agrees to enter into such an amendment), on reasonable terms and conditions, to amend Section 2.19(b) by replacing such subsection in its entirety with language substantially as follows:
