(a)           Section 1.01 of the Facility Agreement is amended to add the following new definitions therein in the appropriate alphabetical order and, where applicable, replace the corresponding previously existing definitions:

Sanctioned Person” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 4.14.

 

(b)           The last sentence of Section 4.10 of the Facility Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the Revolving Advances or request a Letter of Credit, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available

 



 

such proceeds to, or request a Letter of Credit on behalf of, any Subsidiary, any Joint Venture or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, any joint venture partner or other Person (i) to fund any activities or business of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that at the time of such funding of proceeds or issuance of a Letter of Credit is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions, in violation of Sanctions or (ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any party hereto.

 

(c)           Section 4.14 of the Facility Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

2.             Conditions of Effectiveness.  The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

 

(a)           The Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and

 

(b)           The Borrower shall have paid, to the extent invoiced, all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with this Amendment and the other Loan Documents.

 

3.             Representations and Warranties of the Borrower.  The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that this Amendment and the Facility Agreement, as amended hereby, constitute valid and binding agreements of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

 

4.             Reference to and Effect on the Facility Agreement.

 

(a)           Upon the effectiveness hereof, each reference to the Facility Agreement in the Facility Agreement or any other Loan Document shall mean and be a reference to the Facility Agreement as amended hereby.

 

(b)           Except as specifically amended above, the Facility Agreement and all other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

 

(c)           The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment 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 Facility Agreement or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith, nor shall it affect the terms and conditions of any Revolving Advance or Letter of Credit made or issued prior to the Effective Date.

6.             Headings.  Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.
