(ii)    the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement;

(iv)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b)    In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and each Arranger, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, that none

 

3


of the Administrative Agent or any Arranger is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Section 3.    Conditions to Amendment No. 2 Effective Date. The amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement set forth in Section 2 of this Amendment shall become effective on the date on which the following conditions have been met (such date, the “Amendment No. 2 Effective Date”):

(a)    counterparts of this Amendment (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), duly executed by the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders which constitute Majority Lenders (including each Consenting Lender as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date) have been delivered to the Administrative Agent;

(b)    all fees required to be paid on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (including fees required to be paid pursuant to that certain Fee Letter, dated October 29, 2019 and by and among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other parties thereto), and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses required to be reimbursed in accordance with the Credit Agreement for which invoices have been presented to Borrower (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent) prior to the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date have been paid by the Borrower; and

(c)    to the extent requested in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, to the extent the Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, and directly to any Lender requesting the same, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to it at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, and such notice shall be conclusive and binding.

Section 4.    Extension of Maturity Date.

(a)    Pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement, as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of its intention to exercise an Extension Option (the “Second Extension”) to extend the Existing Maturity Date for a period of 364 days to November 27, 2020, with the Second Extension to become effective on November 29, 2019 (the “Second Extension Effective Date”). This Amendment shall serve as a “Notice of Extension” referenced in Section 2.12(b) of the Credit Agreement, and the Borrower agrees that the Notice of Extension pursuant to this Amendment (i) is irrevocable and (ii) constitutes a representation by the Borrower that (A) no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) the representations and warranties contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement are correct in all material respects (except to the extent that any such representation or warranty is qualified by materiality, in which case such representations and warranties shall be

 

4


true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, as though made on and as of such date (unless any representation and warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (except to the extent that any such representation or warranty is qualified by materiality, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects)).

(b)    The Lenders party hereto as Consenting Lenders and constituting at least the Majority Lenders so consent to the Second Extension to be effective on the Second Extension Effective Date. On the Second Extension Effective Date:

(i)    the Existing Maturity Date and the Commitments of the Consenting Lenders shall be automatically extended for a period of 364 days to November 27, 2020, while the Existing Maturity Date of the Non-Consenting Lenders shall remain unchanged, and the Commitments of the Non-Consenting Lenders shall terminate on their respective Existing Maturity Date and all Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender shall be fully repaid, all as contemplated by Section 2.12(e) of the Credit Agreement, subject in all respects to the rights of the Borrower under Section 2.12(d) of the Credit Agreement.

(c)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Second Extension constitutes an “Extension Option” referenced in Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement, and as of the Second Extension Effective Date, after giving effect to the Second Extension, the Borrower may exercise no more than one (1) additional Extension Option pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement. This Amendment constitutes written notice to the Borrower and all of the Lenders of all consents given pursuant to the Credit Agreement with respect to this Second Extension.

Section 5.    Second Extension Effective Date Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of the Second Extension Effective Date, (a) each Lender that holds Loans in an aggregate amount less than its Applicable Percentage (after giving effect to the Second Extension) of all Loans shall advance new Loans which shall be disbursed to the Administrative Agent and used to repay Loans outstanding to each Lender that holds Loans in an aggregate amount greater than its Applicable Percentage (after giving effect to the Second Extension) of all Loans, and (b) such other adjustments shall be made as the Administrative Agent shall specify so that each Lender’s Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment (after giving effect to the Second Extension).

Section 6.    Ratification and Affirmation. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor hereby (i) acknowledges the terms of this Amendment and (ii) ratifies and affirms its obligations under, and acknowledges, renews and extends its continued liability under, each Loan Document to which it is a party and agrees that each Loan Document to which it is a party remains in full force and effect, except as expressly amended hereby, after giving effect to the amendments contained herein.

Section 7.    Representations and Warranties. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that (i) it has duly taken all action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by it of this Amendment and to authorize the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of its obligations hereunder, (ii) this Amendment, when duly executed and delivered, will be a legal,

 

5


valid and binding obligation of the Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (iii) as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, all of the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct.

Section 8.    Effect of Amendment. From and after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, each reference in the Existing Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereof”, or “hereunder” or words of like import, and all references to the “Credit Agreement” in the Loan Documents and any and all other agreements, instruments, documents, notes, certificates, guaranties and other writings of every kind and nature shall be deemed to mean the Credit Agreement.

Section 9.    GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Sections 10.14(b), (c) and (d) of the Existing Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference, mutatis mutandis.

Section 10.    Miscellaneous. Section 10.10 (Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness), Section 10.12 (Severability), and Section 10.15 (Waiver of Jury Trial) of the Existing Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference, mutatis mutandis.

Section 11.    No Waiver; Loan Document. Except as expressly provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment (or any provision hereof) shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement. This Amendment shall be, and shall be construed and administered as, a Loan Document under the Credit Agreement.

Section 12.    Successors and Assigns. All of the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
