1. Amendments to the Credit Agreement.
(a) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(i) The definition below of Bankruptcy Event is hereby added in the appropriate alphabetical location:
Bankruptcy Event means, with respect to any Person, such Person becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee, administrator, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with the reorganization or liquidation of its business appointed for it, or, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any such proceeding or appointment, provided that a Bankruptcy Event shall not result solely by virtue of any ownership interest, or the acquisition of any ownership interest, in such Person by a governmental authority or instrumentality thereof, provided, further, that such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Person with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Person (or such governmental authority or instrumentality) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made by such Person.
(ii) The definition of Defaulting Lender is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Defaulting Lender means any Lender that (a) has failed to fund any portion of the Revolving Loans, the Term Loans, participations with respect to Letters of Credit (as provided in Section 2.3), or participations in Swing Line Loans (as provided in Section 2.2.4) required to be funded by it hereunder within one Business Day of the date required to be funded by it hereunder unless such failure has been cured and all interest accruing as a result of such failure has been fully paid in accordance with the terms hereof, (b) has otherwise failed to pay over to the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender, or any other Lender any other amount required to be paid by it hereunder within one Business Day of the date when due, unless the subject of a good faith dispute or unless such failure has been cured and all interest accruing as a result of such failure has been fully paid in accordance with the terms hereof, (c) has been deemed insolvent or become the subject of a bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship or insolvency proceeding, or (d) has notified the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender in writing, or has made a public statement to the effect, that it does not intend or expect to comply with any of its funding obligations under this Agreement (unless such writing or public statement indicates that such position is based on such Lenders good faith determination that a condition precedent (specifically identified and including the particular default, if any) to funding a Loan or other obligation under this Agreement cannot be satisfied) or generally under other agreements in which it commits to extend credit.
(iii) The definition of Issuing Lender is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Issuing Lender means each of PNC in its capacity as the issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder, Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as the issuer (or the successor of an issuer) of Letters of Credit hereunder, and JPMC, in its capacity as the issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder, and any of their respective Affiliates that may from time to time issue Letters of Credit, and each of their respective successors and assigns in such capacity.
(b) Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete Clause (h) thereof in its entirety and replace such Clause with the following:
(h) Debt of the Loan Parties and any non-domestic Subsidiary of a Loan Party in respect of surety bonds, performance bonds, bid bonds, or similar obligations arising in the ordinary course of business up to an amount reasonably determined to be payable under all surety bonds then outstanding not to exceed at any time $500,000,000 in the aggregate;
(c) The third to last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 2.3.1 (such sentence begins with, So long as ) is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
Subject to the last three paragraphs of this Section 2.3.1, so long as the Issuing Lender has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 12.2 with respect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit have not been satisfied, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date.
(d) The third paragraph of Section 2.3.1 (including Clauses (a) and (b) thereof), other than the last sentence of such paragraph, of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted.
(e) The last paragraph of Section 2.3.1 is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a
-2-
Defaulting Lender: (a) if the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit is greater than zero Dollars at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: (i) each Issuing Lender, the Loan Parties and each other Lender will endeavor to enter into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to each Issuing Lender affected thereby to eliminate such Issuing Lenders risk with respect to such Defaulting Lenders obligations to the Issuing Lender hereunder (included among the arrangements that may be considered may be the reallocation of all or any part of the Defaulting Lenders Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated, however, without regard to such Defaulting Lenders Revolving Commitment), but only to the extent that the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders Revolving Outstandings plus that portion of such Defaulting Lenders Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders Revolving Commitments (less the amount of any Swing Line Loans outstanding at such time)); provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated under any circumstance without its written agreement to increase its Pro Rata Share in any Letter of Credit; (ii) to the extent that the reallocation described in the parenthetical in the foregoing clause (i) above is not, or is only partially, effected, the Company shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Companys obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lenders Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.2 for so long as such Defaulting Lenders Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit is greater than zero Dollars; (iii) to the extent that the reallocation described in the parenthetical in the foregoing clause (i) above is, or is only partially, effected, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders Pro Rata Shares (after giving effect to such reallocation); and (iv) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lenders Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 5.2 with respect to such Defaulting Lenders Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and (b) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lenders then outstanding Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Company in accordance with this Section 2.3.1, and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders or cash collateralized in a manner consistent with this Agreement (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Lender shall have entered into arrangements with the Company or such Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Lender, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, the Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of
-3-
Credit of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lenders Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Commitment percentage.
(f) Subsection 2.3.3(b) is hereby amended to (i) add absolute, after the seventh word of such Subsection, and (ii) delete the word or from before Clause (d) of the first sentence of such Subsection, and (iii) insert the Clauses (e) and (f) before the period at the end of the first sentence of such Subsection as follows:
, (e) payment by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (f) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Companys obligations hereunder.
