(iii) The Specified Representations of any acquired Subsidiary in connection with the Billings Acquisition and, to the extent Holdings, Par Montana, LLC or Par Montana Holdings, LLC under the Billings PSA has the right to terminate its obligations under the Billings PSA or the failure of such representation results in a failure of a condition of the obligations of Holdings, Par Montana, LLC or Par Montana Holdings, LLC to consummation the Billings Acquisition, any such representations in the Billings PSA, in each case, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the Billings Acquisition Increase Date, as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) as of such earlier date).

3


(iii) the Billings Acquisition Revolver Increase Commitments shall equal zero;

(iii) except with respect to Section 2.2, Section 2.4(c)(iii) and Section 2.4(e)(iii), the Billings Acquisition Increase shall be deemed to have never occurred, and for the avoidance of doubt, no increases to sublimits, baskets, thresholds or other amounts in this Agreement that are contingent upon the consummation of the Billings Acquisition Increase shall apply; and

(iv) after the prepayments required by Section 2.4(e)(iii) are made in accordance therewith and such prepaid amounts are allocated among the Lenders, the Lenders will be deemed to have made the necessary assignments (if any) among the Lenders in order to unwind the assignments made pursuant to Section 2.2(e) of the Credit Agreement.”

(e) Section 2.4(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following provision immediately after clause (ii) thereof:

(g) Section 5.15(d)(i)(A) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following provision at the end thereof:

 

4

ARTICLE IV

Miscellaneous

Section 4.1 Continuing Effect; No Other Amendments or Waivers. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Agent under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are hereby ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the amendment of the Credit Agreement pursuant to this Amendment and all other Loan Documents amended and/or executed and delivered in connection herewith shall not constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the Amendment Effective Date. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. All references to the Credit Agreement in any document, instrument, agreement, or writing shall from after the Amendment Effective Date be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment, and, as used in the Credit Agreement, the terms “Agreement,” “herein,” “hereafter,” “hereunder,” “hereto” and words of similar import shall mean, from and after the Amendment Effective Date, the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

Section 4.2 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Amendment. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Amendment but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment. Section 16.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated and shall apply to this Amendment, mutatis mutandis.

Section 4.3 CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION. SECTION 11 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT IS HEREBY INCORPORATED AND SHALL APPLY TO THIS AMENDMENT, MUTATIS MUTANDIS.

Section 4.4 Integration. This Amendment, together with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, all Bank Product Agreements, if any, are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Bank Product Agreements, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayments, acceleration, reduction, increase, or change in the terms of any credit extended hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Bank Product Agreement.

Section 4.5 Severability. Each provision of this Amendment shall be severable from every other provision of this Amendment for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

Section 4.6 Reaffirmation. Each Loan Party hereto expressly acknowledges the terms of this Amendment and reaffirms, as of the date hereof and on the Amendment Effective Date, that its guarantee of the Guarantied Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty and Security Agreement) and its grant of Liens on the Collateral to secure the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty and Security Agreement) pursuant to each Security Document to which it is a party, in each case, continues in full force and effect and extends to the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents (including the Amended Credit Agreement) subject to any limitations set out in the Amended Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document applicable to that Loan Party. Holdings expressly acknowledges the terms of this Amendment and reaffirms, as of the date hereof and on the Amendment Effective Date, that its guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Holdings Guarantee) pursuant to the Holdings Guarantee continues in full force and effect and extends to the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Amended Credit Agreement subject to any limitations set out in the Amended Credit Agreement and the Holdings Guarantee. Neither the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Amendment nor the modification of the Credit Agreement effected pursuant hereto: (i) impairs the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to any Loan Document, and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Secured Obligations, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred; or (ii) requires that any new filings be made or other action be taken to perfect or to maintain the perfection of such Liens.
