NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and conditions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto have agreed to the following amendment to the Credit Agreement.
1. Amendments to Credit Agreement. (a) The definition of “Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary” shall mean, as to any Person, any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of such Person which is a Domestic Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no SPV that is a party to an Asset Securitization permitted hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a “Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary” for purposes of (i) the definitions of “Immaterial Subsidiary” and “Material Subsidiary” set forth herein and (ii) Section 7.12 hereof.
(b) A new Section 3.8 is added at the conclusion of Article III of the Credit Agreement reading as follows:
SECTION 3.8. Change in Letter of Credit Status. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at such time as the Administrative Agent shall have received documentation from the U.S. Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender evidencing their agreement that the Letters of Credit identified on Schedule 3.8 (the “Designated Letters of Credit”) shall cease to be governed by this Agreement but shall instead be governed by other agreements between such Issuing Lender and the U.S. Borrower and/or Affiliates thereof, (a) the Designated Letters of Credit shall cease to be “Letters of Credit” hereunder, (b) all participations in the Designated Letters of Credit which have heretofore been granted pursuant to this Article III shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, (c) letter of credit commissions and fees pursuant to Section 3.3 shall cease to accrue with respect to the Designated Letters of Credit and (d) the U.S. Borrower shall cease to have any Reimbursement Obligations in respect of such Letters of Credit under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such change in status of the Designated Letters of Credit shall not release the U.S. Borrower from the obligation to pay Letter of Credit commissions or fees hereunder accruing prior to such date or release, reduce or otherwise impair (A) any expense reimbursement or indemnification obligations of the U.S. Borrower under Section 11.3(a) or (b) hereof or (B) subject to clauses (c) and (d) above, any other rights the
Lenders, Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent may have hereunder, in either case in respect of such Letters of Credit or the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) such change in status shall not occur unless at the time such documentation is received by the Administrative Agent no drawing under any Designated Letter of Credit shall have occurred.
(c) The first sentence of Section 7.13 of the Credit Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
Each Borrower will, and the U.S. Borrower will cause each of its Material Subsidiaries and each SPV to, satisfy in all material respects customary Company formalities, including the holding of regular board of directors’ and shareholders’ meetings or action by directors or shareholders without a meeting and the maintenance of Company records.
(d) A new Schedule 3.8 is added to the Credit Agreement in the form of Schedule 3.8 hereto.
2. Representations and Warranties. The U.S. Borrower hereby represents and warrants that:
(a) The representations and warranties contained in Article VI of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof with the same effect as if made on and as of such date, except for any representation and warranty made as of an earlier date, which representation and warranty is true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; provided, that this clause (a) shall not apply to the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.5(e) of the Credit Agreement.
(b) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof.
3. Effectiveness. This Amendment is a Loan Document and shall become effective upon (a) the execution and delivery hereof by the U.S. Borrower, the Issuing Lender of the Letters of Credit referred to above, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and (b) the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of an Affirmation of Guaranty Agreements in the form of Exhibit A hereto.
4. References. Upon the effectiveness hereof, each reference to the Credit Agreement in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified hereby.
5. No Waiver. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of or consent to any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents executed and/or delivered in connection therewith.
6. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts (and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
7. Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
