Subsidiaries of the Company party hereto pursuant to Section 1.13 of the
Credit Agreement (each a “Designated Borrower”
and together with the Company, the “Borrowers” and, each
a “Borrower”),
the various financial institutions as are or may become parties hereto
(collectively, the “Banks”), THE BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA
(“Scotia Bank”)
and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.
(“Bank of
America”), as the Co-Administrative Agents (individually, a “Co-Administrative
Agent” and collectively, the “Co-Administrative
Agents”) for the Banks, and Bank of America as the Administrator for the
Banks (the “Administrator”).
WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the
Co-Administrative Agents, the Banks and the Administrator are parties to a
certain Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2005 (as amended and
in effect from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Company has
advised the Co-Administrative Agents and the Banks that the Borrowers desire to
amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement as provided more fully herein
below; and
WHEREAS, the requisite Banks
have agreed to make such amendments subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual agreements contained in the Credit Agreement and
herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:
§1. Defined
Terms. Terms
not otherwise defined herein which are defined in the Credit Agreement shall
have the same respective meanings herein as therein.
§2. Amendments
to the Credit Agreement. Subject to the conditions precedent
set forth in Section
3 below, the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:
(a) Section 1.5(a)(i) of
the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the phrase “or in one or
more Alternative Currencies” immediately after the term “Dollars”
thereof.
(b) Section 1.5(a)(ii)(C)
of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the phrase “or an
Alternative Currency” immediately prior to the “.” at the end
thereof.
(c) Section
1.5(a)(iii)(A) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the
term “purpose” therein and inserting “propose” in lieu thereof.
- 2 -
(d) Section 1.5(c)(i)(B)
of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the phrase “the currency
and” at the beginning thereof.
(e) Section 1.5(d)(i) of
the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:
“(i) Upon
receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing
under such Letter of Credit, the Issuer shall notify the Company and the
Administrator thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated
in an Alternative Currency, the Company shall reimburse the Issuer in such
Alternative Currency, unless (A) the Issuer (at its option) shall have specified
in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars or (B) in the
absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Company shall
have notified the Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing
that the Company will reimburse the Issuer in Dollars. In the case of
any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit
denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Issuer shall notify the Company of
the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the
determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any
payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or
the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the Issuer under a Letter of
Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the
Company shall reimburse the Issuer through the Administrator in an amount equal
to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the
Company fails to so reimburse the Issuer by such time, the Administrator shall
promptly notify each Bank of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed
drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in
the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the
“Unreimbursed
Amount”), and the amount of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage
thereof. In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have requested
a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an
amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and
multiples specified in Section 1.3(a) for
the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the
unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in
Section 3.2
(other than the delivery of a Revolving Loan Notice). Any notice
given by the Issuer or the Administrator pursuant to this Section 1.5(d)(i) may
be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that the
lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or
binding effect of such notice.”
(f) Section 1.8(d) of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “(or Cash
Collateralize the amount of such excess)” therein.
(g) Section 9.2 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:
- 3 -
“(a) The
Administrator or the Issuer, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of
each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of
Advances and Outstanding Amounts denominated in Alternative
Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such
Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts
between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to
occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by
Obligors hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as
otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than
Dollars) for the purposes of the Credit Documents shall be such Dollar
Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrator or the Issuer, absent
manifest error.
(b) Wherever
in this Agreement in connection with a Revolving Borrowing, the conversion,
continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the issuance,
amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required
minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Revolving
Borrowing, Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an
Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency
Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such
Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by
the Administrator or the Issuer, as the case may be, absent manifest
error.”
(h) Section 9.3 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:
“(a) The
Company may from time to time request that Eurocurrency Rate Loans be made
and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically
listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency;” provided, that such
requested currency is in a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily
available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In
the case of any such request with respect to the making of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator and
the Banks; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of
Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the
Administrator and the Issuer.
(b) Any
such request shall be made to the Administrator not later than 11:00 a.m., 20
Business Days prior to the date of the desired Advance (or such other time or
date as may be agreed by the Administrator and, in the case of any such request
pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Issuer, in its or their sole
discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the Administrator shall promptly notify each Bank
thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit,
the Administrator shall promptly notify the Issuer thereof. Each Bank
(in the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Rate Loans) or the
Issuer (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify
the Administrator, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten Business Days after receipt of
such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such
requested currency.
- 4 -
(c) Any
failure by a Bank or the Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request
within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be
a refusal by such Bank or the Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Eurocurrency
Rate Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested
currency. If the Administrator and all the Banks consent to making
Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such requested currency, the Administrator shall
notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes
to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Revolving Borrowings
of Eurocurrency Rate Loans; and if the Administrator and the Issuer consent to
the Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrator shall so
notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes
to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit
issuances. If the Administrator shall fail to obtain consent to any
request for additional currency under this Section 9.3, the
Administrator shall promptly so notify the Company.”
(i) The
definition of “Alternative Currency Equivalent” in Section 9.7 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the phrase “or the Issuer, as
the case may be,” immediately after the term “Administrator”.
(j) The
definition of “Alternative Currency Sublimit” in Section 9.7 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the term “$25,000,000” therein
and inserting “$150,000,000” in lieu thereof.
(k) The
definition of “Dollar Equivalent” in Section 9.7 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the phrase “or the Issuer, as
the case may be,” immediately after the term “Administrator”.
(l) The
definition of “Outstanding Amount” in Section 9.7 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
“Outstanding Amount”
means (a) with respect to any Loan on any date, the Dollar Equivalent amount of
the aggregate outstanding principal amount thereof after giving effect to any
borrowings or prepayments or repayments of such Loan occurring on such date; and
(b) with respect to any L/C Obligations on any date, the Dollar Equivalent
amount of the aggregate outstanding amount of such L/C Obligations on such date
after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension occurring on such date and any
other changes in the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations as of such date,
including as a result of any reimbursements by the Borrowers of Unreimbursed
Amounts.
(m) Clause
(b) of the definition of “Revaluation Date” in Section 9.7 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
- 5 -
“(b) with
respect to any Letter of Credit, each of the following: (i) each date
of issuance of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, (ii)
each date of an amendment of any such Letter of Credit having the effect of
increasing the amount thereof (solely with respect to the increased
amount), (iii) each date of any payment by the Issuer under any Letter of Credit
denominated in an Alternative Currency, (iv) in the case of the Existing Letters
of Credit, as of the Effective Date, and (v) such additional dates as the
Administrator or the Issuer shall determine or the Majority Banks shall
require.”
(n) The
definition of “Same Day Funds” in Section 9.7 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the phrase “or the Issuer, as
the case may be,” immediately after the term “Administrator”.
(o) The
definition of “Spot Rate” in Section 9.7 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
“Spot Rate” for a
currency means the rate determined by the Administrator or the Issuer, as
applicable, to be the rate quoted by Person acting in such capacity as the spot
rate for the purchase by such Person of such currency with another currency
through its principal foreign exchange trading office at approximately 11:00
a.m. on the date two Business Days prior to the date as of which the foreign
exchange computation is made; provided, that the Administrator
or Issuer may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution
designated by the Administrator or the Issuer if the Person acting in such
capacity does not have as of the date of determination a spot buying rate for
any such currency; and provided further that the
Issuer may use such spot rate quoted on the date as of which the foreign
exchange computation is made in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in
an Alternative Currency.
