2


 

Voting Percentages of the other Lenders shall be recomputed for purposes of this definition and the definition of “Required Lenders” without regard to such failing Lender’s Revolving Commitment or the outstanding amount of its Revolving Loans, L/C Advances and funded participations in Swing Line Loans, as the case may be.
     (d) Section 2.03(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
     (ii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
     (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

     (D) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Lender is at such time an Impacted Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the L/C Issuer with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.
     (e) Section 2.04(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
     (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, but in its sole discretion and without any obligation, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to

3


 

the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as a Lender of Revolving Loans, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and provided, that the Swing Line Lender shall not make any Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05 hereof, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
     (f) Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
     2.13 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of any Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loan or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that (i) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefore, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (y) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered and (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the

4


 

assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply) or (z) any payment obtained by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender in connection with cash collateral or other arrangements made in respect of an Impacted Lender. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09 hereof with respect to such participation) as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.
     (g) Section 7.02(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
     (e) intercompany loans and advances, provided that the aggregate amount of outstanding Foreign Loans after the Closing Date, together with Investments in Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries made after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.03(c) and Foreign Acquisitions made after the Closing Date (including the amount of any earnout payments or additional consideration paid in connection with the Mexican Acquisition but excluding the Initial Purchase Payment) pursuant to Section 7.03(f), shall not exceed 12.5% of Net Worth at any time;
     (h) Section 7.03(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
     (c) ownership of Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries, provided that the aggregate amount of such Investments and Foreign Acquisitions made after the Closing Date (including the amount of any earnout payments or additional consideration paid in connection with the Mexican Acquisition but excluding the Initial Purchase Payment), and the aggregate amount of outstanding Foreign Loans, shall not exceed 12.5% of Net Worth in aggregate amount at any time,

     (j) Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to (i) delete “and” at the end of clause (k) thereof, (ii) reletter clause (l) to clause (m) and (iii) insert a new clause (l) thereto to read as follows:
