Agent and Lenders are willing to consent to the SSI Acquisition on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
In addition, the parties desire to amend the Credit Agreement as hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, for TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) in hand paid and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby severally acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Definitions. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
2. Amendments to Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) By deleting Section 2.6(a) of the Credit Agreement and by substituting the following in lieu thereof:
(a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.6(c), all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest as follows:
(i) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, and
(ii) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (A) to the extent that there are any Loans outstanding on any day, an amount of such Loans equal to the lesser of (x) the FILO Formula Amount and (y) the principal amount of the Loans outstanding on such day shall be deemed to be made in respect of the FILO Formula Amount, and (B) such Loans, if LIBOR Rate Loans are available hereunder, shall be LIBOR Rate Loans and bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus three and 1/2 percent (3.50%), and, otherwise, shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus two and 1/2 percent (2.50%).
(b) By adding the following new Section 2.12(f) to the Credit Agreement as follows:
(f) LIBOR Unavailability.
(i) In the event that Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that deposits in the principal amounts and currencies of the Loans comprising such Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans are not generally available in the relevant market, then Agent shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to Administrative Borrower and Lenders of such determination. Thereafter, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as Agent notifies Administrative Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by Agent no longer exist (which notice Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any LIBOR Notice given by Administrative Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrowers.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Agent has made the determination described in the preceding paragraph because the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Agent or any Lender has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans and which specifies the new rate that would be used in lieu thereof, and Administrative Borrower or Agent shall so request, Agent and Administrative Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend the definition of "LIBOR Rate" and other applicable provisions (including any appropriate adjustment to the Applicable Margin) to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change (it being understood that (i) if, at any time, any rate is below zero under such amended definition, such rate shall be deemed to be zero at such time and (ii) any rate so amended will be determined giving due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time); provided, that until so amended, such Loans will be handled as otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 14.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as Agent shall not have received within five (5) days of the date notice of such amendment is provided to Lenders, a written notice from Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.
