WHEREAS, on the Third Amendment Effective Date (as defined below) the Borrower intends to make an investment in Battleground Oil Specialty Terminal Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Bostco Joint Venture”), in exchange for a portion of the Class A Units of Bostco Joint Venture (such investment, the “Initial Bostco Investment”); and

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the foregoing, the Borrower has requested and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Agent and the Lenders party hereto have agreed to make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement as more fully described below.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the above premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, each of the parties hereto hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Definitions.  Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, each term used herein which is defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Credit Agreement.  Each reference to “hereof,” “hereunder,” “herein,” and “hereby” and each other similar reference and each reference to “this Agreement” and each other similar reference contained in the Credit Agreement shall from and after the Third Amendment Effective Date refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.  “Third Amendment Effective Date” means

 



 

the date on which each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7 below has been satisfied.

 

2.                                      Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7 below, (a) each Specified Existing Lender hereby agrees that its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased by the amount specified on Exhibit A attached hereto with respect to such Specified Existing Lender and (b) each Specified New Lender hereby agrees provide a new Revolving Credit Commitment in the amount specified on Exhibit A attached hereto with respect to such Specified New Lender.

 

3.                                      Specified New Lenders.  Each Specified New Lender as of the date hereof and on the Third Amendment Effective Date (a) represents and warrants that (i) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, (ii) it satisfies the requirements, if any, specified in the Credit Agreement that are required to be satisfied by it in order to become a Lender, and (iii) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 thereof and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and on the basis of which it has made such analysis and decision independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender, and (b) agrees that (i) it will, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Documents, and (ii) from and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, it shall be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and, to the extent of its Revolving Credit Commitment (which, as of the Third Amendment Effective Date is set forth on Exhibit A) shall have the obligations of a Lender thereunder.
