Whereas, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are party to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of May 22, 2018 (as amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”, the capitalized terms of which are used herein as therein defined unless otherwise defined herein).

 

WHEREAS, the Parent and Ensco plc, an English public limited company (“Ensco”), have entered into that certain Transaction Agreement dated as of October 7, 2018, as amended by that certain Deed of Amendment No. 1 to Transaction Agreement dated as of January 28, 2019 (as in effect on the Effective Date, the “Ensco Transaction Agreement”), pursuant to which Ensco or its nominee has agreed to acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of the Parent (such transaction, the “Ensco Transaction”).

 

WHEREAS, the consummation of the Ensco Transaction will constitute a Change in Control and will be an Event of Default under Section 7.1(l) of the Credit Agreement (such Event of Default, the “Designated Default”).

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested, and the Lenders party hereto have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (a) a temporary waiver of the Designated Default as further described herein, (b) certain amendments to the Credit Agreement, and (c) a ratable reduction of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, in each case as set forth herein.

 

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, representations and warranties contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

 

Section 1.            Temporary Waiver.

 

(a)          The Lenders party to this Agreement hereby agree, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to temporarily waive the Designated Default until the date that is six months after the Effective Date (the “Waiver Termination Date”). The waiver by the Lenders described in this Section 1 is contingent upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement and is limited to the Designated Default. Such waiver is limited to the extent described herein and shall not be construed to be a consent to or a permanent waiver of the Designated Default or Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement or any other terms, provisions, covenants, warranties or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or in any of the other Credit Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, until the Waiver Termination Date, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to exist with respect to the Designated Default for the purpose of (i) any right of the Credit Parties under the Credit Documents that is conditioned upon the absence of any Default or Event of Default and (ii) any right of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Issuing Lender, the exercise of which is conditioned upon the existence of a Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve the right to exercise any rights and remedies available to them in connection with any other present or future Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other provision of any Credit Document.

 

(b)          The waiver by the Lenders described in this Section 1 is temporary in nature and the Designated Default shall, unless otherwise waived by the Majority Lenders, be immediately and automatically reinstated on the Waiver Termination Date and shall constitute an “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each of the Credit Parties hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Designated Default has not been permanently waived as a result of this Agreement and that such waiver is temporary in nature, and (ii) concurrent with the Waiver Termination Date, all rights and remedies of the Lenders enjoined as a result of this Section 1 shall be reinstated.

 

Section 2.            Commitment Reduction. As of the Effective Date, the Revolving Commitments shall be reduced ratably pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount equal to $191,000,000, and each Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be the amount set forth next to its name on the schedule of Revolving Commitments attached as Schedule II hereto.
