WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the financial institutions party thereto (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of April 20, 2017 (the “Credit Agreement”); and



WHEREAS, the Borrower is seeking certain amendments to the Credit Agreement on the terms described herein; and



WHEREAS, the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent are willing to so amend the Credit Agreement on and subject to the terms and conditions herein.



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, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:



1.     Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms which are used herein without definition and which are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meanings herein as in the Credit Agreement.



2.     Amendments to Credit Agreement.   



(a) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the defined terms “Consolidated Available Cash” and “Consolidated EBITDA” in Section 1.01. thereof and substituting in lieu thereof the following defined terms, respectively:



Consolidated Available Cash” means, as of any date of determination, the aggregate amount of Unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents held by the Loan Parties as of such date (excluding (for the avoidance of doubt) any cash held by Joint Ventures or the Black business unit).  For purposes hereof, “Unrestricted” means, when referring to cash and Cash Equivalents held by the Loan Parties, that such cash and Cash Equivalents (i) do not appear or would not be required to appear as “restricted” on the financial statements of the Loan Parties and (ii) are not subject to a Lien (other than a Lien permitted under Section 7.01(m) or (n)) in favor of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, that, Consolidated Available Cash shall not exceed $50,000,000 at any time of determination.

(ii) the provision for federal, state, local and foreign income Taxes payable for such period,

(v) the amount of any non-cash goodwill impairment charge and intangible asset impairment charge taken during such period,

(vi) in respect of any project, the amount of any non-cash expenses or non-cash charges related to a settlement in exchange for the collection of cash or in exchange for the avoidance of the disbursement of cash to the Borrower or its Subsidiary by its customer in respect of such project (which may include any such non-cash expenses or non-cash charges of a Joint Venture, but only to the extent of the Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ proportionate ownership interest of such Joint Venture) (but excluding in any case any such non-cash expense or non-cash charge to the extent it represents an accrual or reserve for a cash portion for a future period) related to (A) costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, (B) certain projects designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in writing acknowledged by the Administrative Agent on or about the First Amendment Date; or (C) Pending Change Order Billings; provided however, that (X) to the extent the amount of any such expenses or charges in respect of any individual settlement exceeds 20% of the book value subject to such settlement, such excess amount shall be excluded from being added back to Consolidated EBITDA pursuant to this clause (vi) and (Y) the aggregate amount of clauses (B) and (C) immediately above in any consecutive four quarter period shall not exceed 5% of Consolidated EBITDA (calculated before giving effect to such addback in this clause (vi)) for such four quarter period; provided further, that the aggregate amount of all such expenses or charges added back to Consolidated EBITDA pursuant to this clause (vi) in any consecutive four quarter period shall not exceed 15% of Consolidated EBITDA (calculated before giving effect to such addback in this clause (vi)) for such four quarter period, provided that solely for purposes of calculating the amount of expenses or charges under this clause (vi) relative to such 15% cap for such period, the amount of such expenses or charges in respect of any project in any consecutive four quarter period shall be reduced (to an amount not less than zero) by any non-cash gains arising from a settlement in respect of such project effected in such same consecutive four quarter period in connection with the settlement giving rise to such expenses or charges; provided,  further, that any add-backs to be made pursuant to

-2-

 


 

this clause (vi) will be permitted only to the extent that the Consolidated Net Income giving rise to such add-backs was not included in the four quarter period for which Consolidated EBITDA is being determined,

(vii) the amount of any non-cash judgments and related non-cash expenses,

(viii) Transaction Financing Costs, and

minus (b) without duplication, to the extent included in calculating Consolidated Net Income for such period, the sum of:

(i) all non-cash gains recognized during such period, other than the accrual of revenue in the ordinary course of business,

(ii) the amount of any non-cash gains related to non-cash judgments, and

(iii) the amount of any non-cash gains related to settlements (A) of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, (B) related to such projects referenced in clause (a)(vi)(B) above, or (C) related to Pending Change Order Billings.

-3-

 


 

(c) The Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by adding the following Section 1.10 immediately after Section 1.09 thereof:



1.10Divisions.  For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.



(d) The Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by deleting Section 3.03 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following:



3.03Inability to Determine Rates. 



(a) If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurdollar Rate Loans:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate (including, without limitation, because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period, or

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Loans for such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  Until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended and (ii) unless an amendment becomes effective in accordance with Section 3.03(b), all such affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower prepays such Loans at the Borrower’s election in accordance with this Agreement.  Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day before the date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans for which a Committed Loan Notice has previously been given that it elects not to borrow, continue or convert to a Borrowing of Eurodollar

-4-

 


 

Rate Loans on such date, then such Borrowing shall be made as, continued as or converted into a Base Rate Loan.



(b)If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) above have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) above have not arisen but the administrator or the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, or after which the administrator has ceased or will cease to provide such benchmark or stating that the Screen Rate is no longer representative or shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans or that the administrator has invoked or will invoke its insufficient submissions policy, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Screen Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Rate).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date a copy of such amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.  Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 3.03(b), only to the extent the Screen Rate for the applicable currency and/or such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Committed Loan Notice that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be ineffective, and (y) if any Committed Loan Notice requests a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans;  provided, that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.



(e) The Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by adding the following Section 5.25 immediately following Section 5.24 thereof:



5.25  Beneficial Ownership Certification.   As of the First Amendment Effective Date, the information contained in the Beneficial Ownership Certification, if applicable, is true and correct in all respects. 



-5-

 


 

(f) The Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by replacing the “.” at the end of clause (g) in Section 6.03 with “; and” and adding new clause (h) immediately after such clause (g) as follows:



(h)(i) any change in the information provided in a Beneficial Ownership Certification delivered to the Administrative Agent on or before the First Amendment Closing Date and (ii) in the event that Borrower is no longer excluded from the definition of a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, any change in the information provided in a Beneficial Ownership Certification that would result in a change to the list of beneficial owners identified in such certification.



(g) The Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by deleting Section 7.11(a) in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following:



(a)Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio.  Permit the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter, to be greater than 3.50 to 1.00.



(h) The Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by deleting the first sentence of Section 11.18 and substituting in lieu thereof the following:



Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that (a) pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, and (b) pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain a Beneficial Ownership Certification.



(i) The Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by adding the following Section 11.21 immediately after Section 11.20 thereof: 



11.21

  Certain ERISA Matters. 



(a)Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i)such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

(iii)(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv)such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b)In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the
