“(q) On or prior to February 15, 2006, the U.S. Borrower shall furnish to the Agents and the Lender Parties (i) audited annual financial statements for the Fiscal Year ended in 2004, as required by Section 5.03(b) and (ii) to the extent that the annual financial statements for the Fiscal Years ended in 2002 or 2003 are required to be restated in connection with the preparation of such financial statements for the Fiscal Year ended in 2004, revised audited financial statements for such Fiscal Years, as required by Section 5.03(b), it being agreed that the delivery of the financial statements contained in the U.S. Borrower’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended in 2004, if such financial statements include the restated annual financial statements for the Fiscal Years ended in 2002 or 2003, shall satisfy the requirements of this clause (ii).”

 

SECTION 2. Waiver and Standstill. (a) Subject to Section 3 hereof, the Required Lenders hereby waive any Default or Event of Default in respect of the provisions of Sections 2.06(b)(ii) (but only in respect of equity proceeds in an amount not greater than $10,000,000 used to finance an asset acquisition), 2.07(a), 2.08(c), 3.01(a)(vi), 3.01(c), 3.01(e), 3.01(i), 3.02, 4.01(g), 4.01(h), 4.01(i), 4.01(j), 4.01(q)(ii), 5.01(a), 5.01(g), 5.02(b)(ii)(F) and (G), 5.02(f)(vii), (viii) and (ix), 5.02(g), 5.03(a), 5.03(b), 5.03(c), 5.03(d), 5.04(a) and 5.04(b) of the Credit Agreement and any related or substantially comparable provision of any Loan Document, in each case consisting of, resulting from or relating in any respect to (i) the re-audit, revision or restatement of any financial statement delivered prior to the date of this Amendment by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any misstatement therein or in any certificate, representation or warranty relating thereto and any error, defect or deficiency in accounting procedures or in the application of accounting principles reflected thereby or relating thereto), (ii) any failure to deliver any such financial statement or the 2004 audited annual financial statements when or as required, except as required by Section 5.01(q), (iii) any failure to comply with any obligation that became required to be performed or observed under any of such provisions by reason of the occurrence of any such Default or Event of Default or (iv) any misstatement as to the absence of any such Default or Event of Default.

 

(b) Subject to Section 3 hereof, the Required Lenders waive any Default or Event of Default now existing or hereafter arising under Section 6.01(e) of the Credit Agreement

 

2


resulting from a default under Section 4.03 of the Indenture under which the Senior Subordinated Debt was issued; provided, however, that the exercise by the Trustee or the requisite holders of Senior Subordinated Notes of their right to give a notice of acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02 of such Indenture by reason of the existence of such default under Section 4.03 of the Indenture shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.

 

SECTION 3. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the date when each of the conditions set forth in this Section 3 to this Amendment shall have been fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.

 

(i) Execution of Counterparts. The Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment, duly executed and delivered on behalf of each of (a) the Borrowers, (b) the Administrative Agent and (c) the Required Lenders, or as to any of the foregoing parties, advice reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that each of the foregoing parties has executed a counterpart of this Amendment.

 

(ii) Payment of Fees and Expenses. The U.S. Borrower shall have paid (a) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender executing this Amendment on or before November 10, 2005, a fee equal to 0.05% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and Tranche C Term Advances of each such Lender and (b) all expenses (including the fees and expenses of Shearman & Sterling LLP) incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment and other matters relating to the Credit Agreement from and after the last invoice to the extent invoiced.

 

(iii) Execution of Consent. The Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of a Consent substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Amendment, duly executed by each of the entities listed therein.

 

(iv) Waiver Under Refinancing Loan Agreement. The requisite number of lenders under the Refinancing Loan Agreement shall have agreed to waive any defaults under the Refinancing Loan Agreement arising from the matters referred to herein, on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties. Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants as follows:

 

(a) On the date hereof, after giving effect to this Amendment, (i) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from the effectiveness of this Amendment, that constitutes a Default and (ii) all representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects.

 

(b) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by the Borrowers of this Amendment and by the Guarantors and the Grantors of the consent attached hereto or other transactions contemplated hereby.

 

3


(c) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers. The consent attached hereto has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Guarantors and the Grantors. This Amendment and each of the other Loan Documents, as amended hereby, to which each Borrower, each Guarantor and each Grantor is a party are legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower, such Guarantor and such Grantor, as applicable, enforceable against such Borrower, such Guarantor and such Grantor, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms.

 

SECTION 5. Reference to and Effect on the Transaction Documents. (a) On and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other transaction documents to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified by this Amendment.

 

(b) The Credit Agreement, the Notes and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure the payment of all Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in each case as amended by this Amendment.

 

(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or any Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

 

4


SECTION 6. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

 

SECTION 7. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, and shall be subject to the jurisdictional and service provisions of the Credit Agreement, as if this were a part of the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 8. Entire Agreement; Modification. This Amendment constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, there being no other agreements or understandings, oral, written or otherwise, respecting such subject matter, any such agreement or understanding being superseded hereby, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and may not be amended, extended or otherwise modified, except in a writing executed in whole or in counterparts by each party hereto.
