65232006.5
AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
65232006.5
2.2 Amended Definitions. The following definitions set forth in Section
1.01 of the Credit Agreement shall be and they hereby are amended in their respective
entireties to read as follows:
“ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers
to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing
interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. For
the avoidance of doubt, any Loan or Borrowing that accrues interest at a rate
determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition of Alternate Base
Rate shall constitute an ABR Loan or an ABR Borrowing, as the case may be,
notwithstanding the fact that the interest rate is based on the Adjusted LIBO
Rate.
“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, (a) with respect to any Eurodollar
Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded
upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (i) the LIBO Rate for
such Interest Period multiplied by (ii) the Statutory Reserve Rate and (b)
with respect to any ABR Borrowing for any day, an interest rate per annum
equal to (i) the LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if
such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day)
multiplied by (ii) the Statutory Reserve Rate.
“Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal
to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day and (b) the
Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) the
Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1%; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the rate appearing on the
Reuters BBA Libor Rates Page 3750 (or on any successor or substitute page of
such page) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day. Any change
in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal
Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and
including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal
Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively.
“Applicable Rate” means, for any day, with respect to any ABR
Loan or Eurodollar Loan, or with respect to the Unused Commitment Fees
payable hereunder, as the case may be, the applicable rate per annum set
forth below under the caption “ABR Spread”, “Eurodollar Spread” or “Unused
Commitment Fee Rate”, as the case may be, based upon the Borrowing Base Usage
applicable on such date:
Unused | ||||||
Borrowing | Commitment | |||||
Base Usage | Eurodollar Spread | ABR Spread | Fee Rate | |||
≥ 90% |
250 b.p. | 162.5 b.p. | 50 b.p. |
2
Unused | ||||||
Borrowing | Commitment | |||||
Base Usage | Eurodollar Spread | ABR Spread | Fee Rate | |||
≥ 75% and < 90%
|
225 b.p. | 137.5 b.p. | 37.5 b.p. | |||
≥ 50% and < 75%
|
200 b.p. | 112.5 b.p. | 37.5 b.p. | |||
< 50%
|
175 b.p. | 87.5 b.p. | 37.5 b.p. |
Each change in the Applicable Rate shall apply during the period
commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date
immediately preceding the effective date of the next change. Unless an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, for purposes of determining the
Applicable Rate hereunder, the calculation of the Borrowing Base Usage shall
be made after subtracting from the Aggregate Credit Exposure the aggregate
amount of cash on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account as a result of the
existence of any Defaulting Lender.
“Defaulting Lender” means any Lender, as reasonably determined
by the Administrative Agent (and in the case such Lender is also the
Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, the
Required Lenders), that has (a) failed to fund any portion of the Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements required to be funded by it hereunder
within three Business Days of the date required to be funded by it hereunder,
(b) notified the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender in writing that it does not intend to comply with any of its funding
obligations under this Agreement or has made a public statement to the effect
that it does not intend to comply with its funding obligations under this
Agreement, (c) otherwise failed to pay over to the Administrative Agent or
any other Lender any other amount required to be paid by it hereunder within
three Business Days of the date when due, unless the subject of a good faith
dispute, or (d) (i) become or is insolvent or has a parent company that has
become or is insolvent or (ii) become the subject of a bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or
custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or
indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding
or appointment or has a parent company that has become the subject of a
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator,
trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance
of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such
proceeding or appointment.
“LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for
any Interest Period, the rate appearing on Reuters BBA Libor Rates Page
3
3750
(or on any successor or substitute page of such service, or any successor to
or substitute for such service, providing rate quotations comparable to those
currently provided on such page of such service, as determined by the
Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations
of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London interbank
market) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to
the commencement of such Interest Period, as the rate for dollar deposits
with a maturity comparable to such Interest Period. In the event that such
rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the “LIBO
Rate” with respect to such Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period
shall be the rate at which dollar deposits of $5,000,000 and for a maturity
comparable to such Interest Period are offered by the principal London office
of the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds in the London
interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days
prior to the commencement of such Interest Period.
“Secured Parties” means the holders from time to time of the
Obligations and “Secured Party” means any of them.
2.3 Letters of Credit. Section 2.07(b) of the Credit Agreement shall
be and it hereby is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain
Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the
amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the
Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic
communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing
Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance
of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice
requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day),
the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name
and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be
necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If
requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of
credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any
request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended,
renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent
and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) the
Aggregate Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment.
4
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not at any time be
obligated to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit if any Lender
is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless (x) the Borrower cash
collateralizes such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the total LC Exposure
(calculated after giving effect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of such Letter of Credit) in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 2.07(j) or (y) the Issuing Bank has entered into
arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion with the
Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the total LC Exposure.
2.4 Letters of Credit. Section 2.07(j) of the Credit Agreement shall
be and it hereby is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
(j) Cash Collateralization.
(i) If at any time the Borrower elects to cash collateralize the LC
Exposure of any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(b), the Borrower
shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of
the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders (the “Cash
Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to such Defaulting Lender’s
portion of the total LC Exposure at such time as calculated pursuant to
clause (x) of Section 2.07(b) (less any amounts already on deposit in such
Cash Collateral Account representing cash collateral for any portion of such
Defaulting Lender’s portion of the total LC Exposure).
(ii) If any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, upon the written request of the Issuing Bank demanding
the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower
shall promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days after
receipt of such written request, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s
portion of the total LC Exposure at such time by depositing in the Cash
Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to such Defaulting Lender’s
portion of the total LC Exposure at such time (less any amounts already on
deposit in such Cash Collateral Account representing cash collateral for any
portion of such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the total LC Exposure).
(iii) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on or
before the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Borrower receives
notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the
maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure
representing greater than 66-2/3% of the total LC Exposure) demanding
the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower
5
shall deposit in the Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to the
total LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall
become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due
and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence
of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h)
or (i) of ARTICLE IX.
(iv) Deposits in the Cash Collateral Account made pursuant to the
foregoing paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be held by the Administrative
Agent as Collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of
the Borrower under this Agreement. So long as such Defaulting Lender
remains a Defaulting Lender or such Event of Default is continuing, as
applicable, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and
control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Cash
Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of
such deposits and interest at the rate per annum in effect for accounts of
the same type maintained with the Administrative Agent at such time, which
investments shall be of the type described in clause (b) of the definition
of Permitted Investments and shall be made by the Administrative Agent in
consultation with the Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, in which case, such investments shall be made at
the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent) and at the
Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such
account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative
Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has
not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the
satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC
Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated
(but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing
66-2/3% or more of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.
(v) If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral
pursuant to paragraphs (i), (ii) or (iii) above, such amount (to the extent
not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3)
Business Days after (x) in the case of cash collateral provided pursuant to
paragraphs (i) or (ii) above, the applicable Defaulting Lender is no longer a
Defaulting Lender and (y) in the case of cash collateral provided pursuant to
paragraph (iii) above, all Events of Default have been cured or waived. The
Borrower may at any time request confirmation from the Administrative Agent
that a Defaulting
Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly confirm such request or provide written confirmation to the
6
Borrower that such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender and the basis for such
determination.
2.5 Fees. Section 2.13(c) of the Credit Agreement shall be and it
hereby is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
(c) Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own
account, (i) fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed
upon among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger pursuant
to the Fee Letter and (ii) fees payable upon any increase in the Aggregate
Commitment pursuant to Section 2.03.
2.6 Indebtedness. Section 7.01(e) of the Credit Agreement shall be and
it hereby is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
(e) Indebtedness of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries
incurred to finance the acquisition, construction or improvement of any fixed
or capital assets, including Capital Lease Obligations and any Indebtedness
assumed in connection with the acquisition of any such assets or secured by a
Lien on any such assets prior to the acquisition thereof, and extensions,
renewals and replacements of any such Indebtedness that do not increase the
outstanding principal amount thereof; provided that (i) in the case
of any acquisition, construction or improvement of any fixed or capital
asset, such Indebtedness (other than Capital Lease Obligations) is incurred
prior to or within 90 days after such acquisition or the completion of such
construction or improvement and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of
Indebtedness permitted by this clause (e) shall not exceed $100,000,000 at
any time outstanding;
2.7 Financial Covenants. Section 7.11 of the Credit Agreement shall be
and it hereby is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
(a) Consolidated Current Ratio. The Borrower will not permit
the Consolidated Current Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter to be less
than 1.00 to 1.00. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
for purposes of determining the Consolidated Current Ratio as of any date of
determination, the calculation of Consolidated Current Assets shall include
the aggregate amount of cash on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account as of
such date as a result of the existence of any Defaulting Lender.
(b) Leverage Ratio. The Borrower will not permit the ratio (the
“Leverage Ratio”), determined as of the end of any fiscal quarter, of
(A) Consolidated Funded Indebtedness as of the end of such fiscal quarter,
to (B) Consolidated EBITDAX for the trailing four (4) fiscal quarter
period ending on such date to be greater than 4.0 to 1.0. Unless an Event
7
of Default has occurred and is continuing, for purposes of determining the
Leverage Ratio as of any date of determination, the calculation of
Consolidated Funded Indebtedness shall be made by subtracting therefrom the
aggregate amount of cash on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account as of such
date as a result of the existence of any Defaulting Lender.
2.8 Notices. Clause (i) of Section 11.01(a) of the Credit Agreement

other things, allow certain financial institutions identified by X.X. Xxxxxx Securities, Inc., in

New Lender’s acquisition of an interest in the Aggregate Commitment. As of the Sixth Amendment
Effective Date and after giving effect to such reallocation of the Aggregate Commitment, the
Commitment of each Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01 of this Amendment. With
respect to such reallocation, each New Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Commitment
