NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement and this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.Amendments to Credit Agreement. In reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties set forth in Section 2 below and subject to the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 3 below:
(a)Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the definitions of “Immaterial Subsidiary”, “Maturity Date”, “Note Indenture” and “Note Indenture Obligations” in their entirety as follows:
“Immaterial Subsidiary” shall mean each of Xxxxxx Marine Services Company, a Delaware corporation, Terra Contracting Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Terra Fluid Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Fifty-Three Dredging Corporation, a New Jersey corporation.
“Maturity Date” shall mean December 30, 2019.
“Note Indenture” shall mean that certain Indenture, dated on or around May 24, 2017, among Xxxxx Fargo, as trustee, GLDD and the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, as the same may be may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
“Note Indenture Obligations” shall mean all of (a) GLDD’s obligations under and with respect to the Note Indenture, including, without limitation, all obligations to pay principal in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $325,000,000 under its 8.000% Senior Notes due 2022, and additional senior notes issued under the Note Indenture in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50,000,000 on terms and conditions which would satisfy each of the requirement of clauses (i) through (iv) of the proviso below in this definition as if the issuance of such additional notes constituted a refinancing of existing notes under the Note Indenture, and all interest, premium, fees, charges, expenses and indemnities with respect thereto, and all obligations to effect redemptions, repurchases and prepayments with respect thereto, in any case, whether fixed, contingent, matured or unmatured, and (b) GLDD's obligations under and with respect to such other unsecured Indebtedness the net proceeds of which are, in whole or in part, designated to be used, and are used reasonably promptly after the incurrence thereof, to refinance in whole or in part the then existing Note Indenture Obligations (including any subsequent refinancing thereof from time to time which constitutes a Permitted Note Refinancing); provided, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness and any remaining Indebtedness under the Note Indenture (and any Permitted Note Refinancing thereof) does not exceed the principal amount of $375,000,000, (ii) immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such refinancing Indebtedness and the
-2-
application of proceeds thereof, GLDD and its Subsidiaries will be in pro forma compliance (giving effect to such refinancing as if it occurred as of the first day of the relevant period of calculation) with each financial covenant ratio set forth in Section 6.5 as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements (and the related compliance certificate) have been delivered pursuant to Section 9.9 (it being understood and agreed that GLDD shall provide a certification of such pro forma compliance but shall not be required to provide a Responsible Officer's Compliance Certificate), (iii) such refinancing Indebtedness has a final maturity more than 180 days after the Maturity Date and requires no scheduled payment of principal in cash prior to such date, and (iv) the terms of such refinancing Indebtedness, including the covenants, events of default and other terms and provisions (including quantities thereof), are reasonably acceptable to Agent, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld so long as such terms are no more restrictive, when taken as a whole, to GLDD and its Subsidiaries than are (x) in the case of any public issuance (including through a 144A or other similar issuance) of Indebtedness by GLDD, customary at the time of such refinancing of such type for issuers with a debt rating similar to that of GLDD and (y) in the case of any private issuance of Indebtedness by GLDD, as set forth in the Note Indenture (any such refinancing as described in this clause (b), a “Permitted Note Refinancing”).
