11



 

(c)                                  neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment by such Credit Party, the performance by such Credit Party of the Credit Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby does or shall contravene, result in a breach of, or violate (i) any provision of any Credit Party’s certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws or other similar documents, or agreements, (ii) any law or regulation, or any order or decree of any court or government instrumentality, or (iii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property is bound, except in any such case to the extent such conflict or breach (y) has been waived herein or by a written waiver document, a copy of which has been delivered to Agent on or before the date hereof, or (z) has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(d)                                 no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(e)                                  U.S. Borrowers shall utilize the proceeds of the Term Loans extended to U.S. Borrowers on the Third Amendment Effective Date solely for repayment of the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans and payment of fees and expenses relating to this Amendment.
