     2. Amendments. The Credit Agreement is amended in the following respects:

     provided that at all times the Loan Parties shall have (x) aggregate gross profits that exceed 50% (or, if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 2.0:1.0, 65%) of total gross profits of the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the last day of either of the two immediately preceding fiscal quarters and (y) aggregate assets with a book value that

 


 

exceeds 50% (or, if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 2.0:1.0, 60%) of the book value of the total assets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the last day of either of the two immediately preceding fiscal quarters, and, to the extent necessary to meet such requirement, the Parent shall designate one or more Foreign Subsidiaries as Material Foreign Subsidiaries (notwithstanding that such Foreign Subsidiaries would not otherwise meet the tests set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above) such that immediately after such designation the Loan Parties will satisfy such requirement.
(b) Section 7.02(c) is amended to read as follows:
(c) within forty-five days after the end of the second and fourth fiscal quarter of each fiscal year of the Parent, a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Parent containing the information set forth on Exhibit 7.02(c) with respect to certain types of property acquired by any Foreign Loan Party since the date of the prior certificate (or, in the case of the first certificate, since the Closing Date), as such Exhibit may be updated from time to time by the Administrative Agent by notice to the Parent (it being understood that if any Collateral Document executed by a Foreign Loan Party requires delivery of such information on a more frequent basis, then this Section 7.02(c) shall control and such requirement in such Collateral Document shall be of no force and effect);
     3. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall be effective as of the date hereof upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent:
     (a) receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of this Amendment executed by the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent;
     (b) payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender that executes this Amendment, of an amendment fee equal to 5 basis points (0.05%) on the Revolving Commitment and outstanding Term Loan of such Lender.
     4. Amendment is a “Loan Document”. This Amendment is a Loan Document.
     5. Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party represents and warrants that, after giving effect to this Amendment, (a) the representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof (except those that expressly relate to an earlier period) and (b) no Default exists.
     6. Reaffirmation of Obligations. Each Borrower and Guarantor (a) acknowledges and consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Amendment, (b) affirms all of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (c) agrees that this Amendment and all documents executed in connection herewith do not operate to reduce or discharge such Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents.
     7. Reaffirmation of Security Interests. Each Loan Party (a) affirms that each of the Liens granted in or pursuant to the Loan Documents are valid and subsisting and (b) agrees that this Amendment shall in no manner impair or otherwise adversely effect any of the Liens granted in or pursuant to the Loan Documents.
     8. No Other Changes. Except as modified hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

 


 

     9. Counterparts; Facsimile Delivery. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Amendment to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.
