Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (i) each existing Tranche B Term Lender (collectively, the “Continuing Tranche B Term Lenders”) that executes and delivers a Lender Addendum (Continuing Tranche B Term Lender) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Lender Addendum (Continuing Tranche B Term Lender)”) thereby consents to this Amendment and (x) if checking option 1, agrees to continue via “cashless settlement” all (or such lesser amount as may be allocated by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) of its existing Tranche B Term Loans outstanding immediately before giving effect to this Amendment as a Tranche B Term Loan on the Effective Date in a principal amount equal to such Continuing Tranche B Term Lender’s Tranche B Term Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (y) if checking option 2, agrees to sell the entire principal amount of its existing Tranche B Term Loans outstanding immediately before giving effect to this Amendment via an assignment on the Effective Date and then promptly purchase an equal amount (or such lesser amount as may be allocated by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) of Tranche B Term Loans and (ii) each Person (other than a Continuing Tranche B Term Lender in its capacity as such) (collectively, the “Additional Tranche B Term Lenders”) that executes and delivers a Lender Addendum (Additional Tranche B Term Lender) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Lender Addendum (Additional Tranche B Term Lender)” and, together with a Lender Addendum (Continuing Tranche B Term Lender), a “Lender Addendum”) agrees to take via an assignment on the Effective Date from one or more Non-Consenting Lenders a principal amount of Tranche B Term Loans equal to such Additional Tranche B Term Lender’s Tranche B Term Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement). For purposes hereof, a Person shall become a party to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby and a Tranche B Term Lender as of the Effective Date by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Effective Date, a Lender Addendum (Additional Tranche B Term Lender) in its capacity as a Tranche B Term Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the existing Term Loans of a Continuing Tranche B Term Lender must be continued in whole and may not be continued in part unless otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent prior to the Effective Date to give effect to any cash prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans to be made by the Borrower on the Effective Date. Any Non-Consenting Lender whose Tranche B Term Loans are

 

2


  repaid or assigned to one or more Additional Tranche B Term Lenders on the Effective Date in accordance with this Amendment shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement with respect thereto. Each Continuing Tranche B Term Lender hereby waives the benefits of Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement with respect to that portion of the Tranche B Term Loans of such Lender continued hereunder.

 

  (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to indemnification, reimbursement of costs and expenses, increased costs and break funding payments (other than to the extent waived pursuant to Section 2(a)) shall continue in full force and effect with respect to, and for the benefit of, each existing Tranche B Term Lender in respect of such Lender’s existing Term Loans to the same extent expressly set forth therein.

 

  (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment to the contrary, the continuation of existing Tranche B Term Loans may be implemented pursuant to other procedures specified by the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, by replacement of such existing Tranche B Term Loans by a deemed repayment of such existing Tranche B Term Loans of a Continuing Tranche B Term Lender followed by a subsequent deemed assignment to it of new Tranche B Term Loans in the same amount.

 

  (d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that, at the sole option of the Administrative Agent, any Lender with existing Tranche B Term Loans that are replaced as contemplated hereby (whether by assignment of its Tranche B Term Loans to one or more Additional Tranche B Term Lenders or otherwise) shall, automatically upon receipt (or deemed receipt) of the amount necessary to purchase such Lender’s existing Tranche B Term Loans so replaced, at par, and pay all accrued interest thereon, be deemed to have assigned such Loans pursuant to a form of Assignment and Acceptance and, accordingly, no other action by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Loan Parties shall be required in connection therewith. The Lenders hereby agree to waive any notice requirements of the Credit Agreement in connection with the replacement of existing Tranche B Term Loans contemplated hereby (whether by assignment of such Tranche B Term Loans to one or more Additional Tranche B Term Lenders or otherwise).

 

3. Effective Date Conditions. This Amendment will become effective on the date (the “Effective Date”) on which each of the following conditions have been satisfied (or waived) in accordance with the terms therein:

 

  (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) this Amendment executed and delivered by the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and (ii) a Lender Addendum, executed and delivered by each of the Additional Tranche B Term Lenders and the Continuing Tranche B Term Lenders;

3


  (c) all fees and out-of-pocket expenses for which invoices have been presented prior to the Effective Date (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) required to be paid or reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement or any other letter agreement in connection with this Amendment shall have been paid or reimbursed;

 

  (d) each of the representations and warranties made by each Loan Party contained in the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date as if made on and as of such date (other than representations and warranties which speak only as of a certain date, which representations and warranties shall be made only on such date);

 

  (e) the representations and warranties in Section 4 of this Amendment shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date; and

This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Credit Agreement, 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 and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

 

5. Reaffirmation of the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party hereby consents to the amendment of the Credit Agreement effected hereby and confirms and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Agreement, each Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party is, and the obligations of such Loan Party contained in the Credit Agreement, this Amendment or in any other Loan Document to which it is a party are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, in each case as amended by this Amendment. For greater certainty and without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party hereby confirms that the existing security interests granted by such Loan Party in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of, among others, the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents in the Collateral described therein shall continue to secure the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as and to the extent provided in the Loan Documents.

 

6. Amendment, Modification and Waiver. This Amendment may not be amended, modified or waived except as permitted by Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.

7. Entire Agreement. This Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Amendment shall not constitute a novation of any amount owing under the Credit Agreement and all amounts owing in respect of principal, interest, fees and other amounts pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall, to the extent not paid or exchanged on or prior to the Effective Date, shall continue to be owing under the Credit Agreement or such other Loan Documents until paid in accordance therewith.

 

8. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. SECTIONS 10.12 AND 10.16 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO THIS AMENDMENT AND SHALL APPLY HERETO.

 

9. Severability. Any term or provision of this Amendment which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Amendment or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

 

10. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

11. 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 SUIT, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

12. Loan Document.
