RECITALS

 

  A. Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

 

  B. The Parent, on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, has requested an amendment to certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, and the Credit Parties are willing to consent to such amendment subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

Accordingly, in consideration of the recitals and the covenants, conditions and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to amend and restate in its entirety the definition of “Non-Core Currencies” to read as follows:

Non-Core Currencies”: Canadian Dollars, Czech Koruna, Euros (France), Hong Kong Dollars, Korean Won, Mexican Pesos, New Taiwan Dollars, Singapore Dollars, Swiss Francs and each other additional currency added pursuant to Section 2.7(c) or (d), and each lawful currency successor thereto, in each case constituting freely transferable lawful money of the country of issuance and in the case of each such currency is readily transferable and convertible into Dollars in the London interbank market, provided that Russian Rubles and each such other currency as shall be satisfactory to both the Administrative Agent and each applicable Lender that shall have agreed to provide an Individual Currency Commitment in such other currency shall not be required to be readily transferable and convertible into Dollars in the London interbank market; each a “Non-Core Currency”.

2. The last sentence of Section 3.3(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

All Facility Fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day and the last day).


3. This Amendment shall become effective upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Required Lenders, the Parent and each of the other Loan Parties either (i) a counterpart of this Amendment signed on behalf of such Person or (ii) written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include electronic or facsimile transmission of a signed signature page of this Amendment) that such Person has signed a counterpart of this Amendment.

4. The Parent hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

5. Except as set forth in this Amendment, the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms as in effect on the date hereof prior to giving effect to this Amendment, and no amendment, consent or waiver in respect of any term or condition of any Loan Document set forth in this Amendment shall be deemed to be an amendment, consent or waiver in respect of any other term or condition contained in any Loan Document.

6. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one agreement. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Amendment to produce or account for more than one counterpart signed by the party to be charged.

7. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
