2. Amendment to Exhibit M. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Exhibit M to the Credit Agreement shall be amended such that after giving effect to all such amendment, it shall read in its entirety as set forth on Annex I attached hereto.
3. Effectiveness; Conditions Precedent. This Amendment and the amendments to the Credit Agreement provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof shall be effective as of the date first written above upon the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(a) The Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment, duly executed by the Company, each Borrower, each Guarantor, the Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders, which counterparts may be delivered by facsimile or other electronic means (e.g. “.pdf” or “.tif”).
(b) The Administrative Agent shall have received a draft of the Letter of Credit to be issued pursuant to Section 4.02(g)(i)(C) of the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) (the “CA Letter of Credit”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(c) (i) An amendment fee shall have been received by the Administrative Agent for each Lender executing this Amendment by 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on February 9, 2018 for the account of such Lender, equal to 0.15%, multiplied by each such Lender’s Commitments as of the date hereof and (ii) all other fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including the fees and expenses of counsel and the financial advisor to the Administrative Agent) to the extent due and payable under Section 10.04(a) of the Credit Agreement and for which invoices have been presented on or before the date that is one day prior to the date hereof shall have been paid in full (which fees and expenses may be estimated to date without prejudice to final settling of accounts for such fees and expenses).
For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 3, each Lender that has signed this Amendment shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received noticed from such Lender prior to the date hereof specifying its objection thereto.
4. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, the Company represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders as follows:
(a) The representations and warranties made by the Company in Article V of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent that such representation or warranty is qualified by reference to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case it shall be true and
2
correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date; and
(b) This Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Borrowers and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such parties, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting the rights of creditors, and subject to equitable principles of general application.
5. Consent of the Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby consents, acknowledges and agrees to the amendments and other matters set forth herein and hereby confirms and ratifies in all respects the Guaranty to which it is a party (including without limitation the continuation of each Guarantor’s payment and performance obligations thereunder upon and after the effectiveness of this Amendment and the amendments, waivers and consents contemplated hereby) and the enforceability of the applicable Guaranty against the applicable Guarantor in accordance with its terms.
6. Condition Subsequent. By no later than the third Business Day after the date of the issuance of the CA Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that (i) the amount of the BTMU Letter of Credit has been increased to $658,098,021.10 and (ii) the expiry date of the BTMU Letter of Credit has been extended to no earlier than August 15, 2018. Any failure to satisfy the condition in this Section 6 shall be an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.
7. Entire Agreement. This Amendment, together with all the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Relevant Documents”), sets forth the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto in relation to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior negotiations and agreements among the parties relating to such subject matter. No promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not set forth in the Relevant Documents shall bind any party hereto, and no such party has relied on any such promise, condition, representation or warranty. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly stated in the Relevant Documents, no representations, warranties or commitments, express or implied, have been made by any party to the other in relation to the subject matter hereof or thereof. None of the terms or conditions of this Amendment may be changed, modified, waived or canceled orally or otherwise, except in writing and in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
8. Full Force and Effect of Loan Documents. Except as hereby specifically amended, waived, modified or supplemented, the Credit Agreement (and each prior amendment thereto), the Subsidiary Guaranty and each other Loan Document is hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects and shall be and remain in full force and effect according to its respective terms.
9. Governing Law. This Amendment shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, and shall be further subject to the provisions of Sections 10.14 and 10.15 of the Credit Agreement.
10. Enforceability. Should any one or more of the provisions of this Amendment be determined to be illegal or unenforceable as to one or more of the parties hereto, all other provisions nevertheless shall remain effective and binding on the parties hereto.
11. References. All references in any of the Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement” shall mean the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Loan Documents.
12. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Guarantors and Lenders, and their respective successors, legal representatives, and assignees to the extent such assignees are permitted assignees as provided in Section 10.06 of the Credit Agreement.
3
13. No Novation. Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereunder is intended to constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents or any obligations thereunder.
14. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic means (e.g. “.pdf” or “.tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
15. FATCA. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), from and after the effective date of this Amendment, it is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent may treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
16. Release. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE BORROWERS, ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES, ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, PREDECESSORS, SUCCESSORS, LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES AND ASSIGNS (EACH OF THE FOREGOING, COLLECTIVELY, THE “RELEASING PARTIES”), HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND STIPULATES THAT AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AMENDMENT, NONE OF THE RELEASING PARTIES HAS ANY CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER RELATED TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY AGAINST, OR ANY GROUNDS OR CAUSE FOR REDUCTION, MODIFICATION, SET ASIDE OR SUBORDINATION OF THE INDEBTEDNESS OR ANY LIENS OR SECURITY INTERESTS OF, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE L/C ISSUERS, THE OTHER SECURED BANK CREDITORS, OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS, OR REPRESENTATIVES, OR AGAINST ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE PREDECESSORS, SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS (EACH OF THE FOREGOING, COLLECTIVELY, THE “RELEASED PARTIES”).
