(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 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 (the “Amendment No. 8 Effective 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.

(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 No. 8, (i) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from the effectiveness of this Amendment No. 8, 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.

 

4

(c) This Amendment No. 8 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 No. 8 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.

(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.

 

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 8. Entire Agreement; Modification. This Amendment constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, there being no

 

5


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.
