Following the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to Agent annual renewals of the flood insurance policies covering the property of the Loan Parties.”

(d)    Section 10.1.11(c) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(i) Upon the acquisition by any Loan Party of any Material Real Property, (ii) the release of any first lien security interest on any Real Property securing the obligations under the Contribution and Deferral Agreement, or (iii) if any Real Property owned by any Loan Party not constituting Material Real Property otherwise becomes Material Real Property, in each case, providing prompt written notice of same to Agent (which written notice Agent shall promptly provide to the Lenders) and, to the extent required by Agent at Agent’s discretion or at the direction of the Required Lenders, within the greater of (x) one hundred twenty (120) days after written notice to Agent of such acquisition, release or reclassification as required above, (y) the period of time granted pursuant to the Term Loan Debt Documents, if longer, or (z) such other longer period of time as agreed to in writing by Agent at its discretion or at the direction of the Required Lenders, causing such property to be subject to a Mortgage in favor of Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties and taking, or causing the relevant Loan Party to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by Agent to grant and record such Mortgage, in each case, subject to the limitations and exceptions of, the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and otherwise complying with the requirements of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and this Section 10.1.11(c).

 

2


Notwithstanding the foregoing, without limiting the requirements set forth in clause (c) of the definition of Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, the Agent shall not enter into any Mortgage in respect of any improved real property acquired by any Loan Party after the Closing Date or to be mortgaged in connection with a MIRE Event unless the Agent has provided to the Lenders (which may be delivered electronically):

(i) if such Mortgage relates to improved real property not located in a “special flood hazard area,” a complete flood hazard determination from a third party vendor at least ten (10) days prior to entering into such Mortgage, or

provided, that (x) the Agent may enter into any such Mortgage prior to the expiration of the applicable Flood Diligence Period if the Agent shall have received confirmation from each applicable Lender that such Lender has completed any necessary flood insurance due diligence to its reasonable satisfaction, and (y) the Agent shall not enter into the corresponding Mortgage if, prior to the expiration of the applicable Flood Diligence Period, a Lender provides written notice to the Agent stating that such Lender will require additional time to complete any necessary flood insurance due diligence to its reasonable satisfaction. So long as such Lender provides the foregoing notice prior to the expiration of the applicable Flood Diligence Period, the Agent shall not enter into the corresponding Mortgage unless and until the Agent receives written confirmation from such Lender that all necessary flood due diligence has been completed to its reasonable satisfaction.”

(e)    Section 10.2.3(u) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(i) Debt in respect of the Specified Pension Fund Obligations and Guarantees thereof, to the extent existing on the Closing Date, by any Guarantor in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the amount outstanding as of the Closing Date (and as adjusted from time to time pursuant to any audits), plus any interest paid in kind thereon and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and (ii) any Permitted Refinancing (excluding clause (b) thereof, so long as the amortization payments under any such Permitted Refinancing do not exceed two percent (2%) per annum of the outstanding principal amount of the Specified Pension Fund Obligations immediately prior to giving effect to the One-Time Prepayment (as defined in Amendment No. 3) thereof;”

For greater certainty, nothing in this Section 10.2.13(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the ability of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary to prepay, redeem, purchase, defease or otherwise satisfy prior to the scheduled maturity thereof any Existing Series A Notes or Existing Series B Notes or any Debt listed on Schedule 10.2.3(b), in each case that remain outstanding after the consummation of the Recapitalization Transactions and the other Transactions on the Closing Date.
