WHEREAS, Gannett has requested that the Five-Year Commitments (as defined in each Credit Agreement) be extended to the five-year anniversary of the date on which the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7 of this Amendment and Restatement Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived as set forth herein;
WHEREAS, in connection therewith, Gannett has requested certain amendments to each Credit Agreement as described herein and in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement;
WHEREAS, the parties are willing to consent to the requested amendments on the terms and conditions contained herein;
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
2.Amendment and Restatement. (a) The Credit Agreements (excluding the Schedules and Exhibits thereto to the extent not expressly amended and restated herein) are hereby collectively amended and restated, effective as of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (as defined below), to read as set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
(b) The Schedules and Exhibits to each of the 2002 Credit Agreement and the 2004 Credit Agreement are hereby collectively amended and restated, effective as of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, with the Schedules and Exhibits to the 2005 Credit Agreement, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified in connection with this Amendment and Restatement Agreement.
(c) The Guarantee Agreement of each of the 2002 Credit Agreement and the 2004 Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated, effective as of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, with the Guarantee Agreement of the 2005 Credit Agreement, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified in connection with this Amendment and Restatement Agreement to read as set forth in Section 3 hereof.
3.Amendments to the Guarantee Agreement. (a) Section 1.1(b) of the Guarantee Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new definition of “Qualified Keepwell Provider” as follows:
“Qualified Keepwell Provider”: in respect of any Swap Obligation, each of Gannett and the Guarantors that, at the time the relevant guarantee (or grant of the relevant security interest, as applicable) becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation, has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 or otherwise constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” with respect to such Swap Obligation at such time by entering into a keepwell or guarantee pursuant to Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
(b) Article IV of the Guarantee Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 4.19 (Keepwell) as follows:
Section 4.19 Keepwell. Each Qualified Keepwell Provider hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified Keepwell Provider shall only be liable under this Section 4.19 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 4.19, or otherwise under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified Keepwell Provider under this Section 4.19 shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date. Each Qualified Keepwell Provider intends that this Section 4.19 constitute, and this Section 4.19 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
4.Extension of Five-Year Termination Date. Gannett hereby requests that individual Five-Year Lenders extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Five-Year Commitments (including any L/C Commitments) from the Extended Termination Date to the 2018 Extended Termination Date, on the same terms and conditions as the existing Five-Year Facility (the “2018 Extension Option”), except as otherwise set forth herein. Each Five-Year Lender (each, a “2018 Extending Lender”) that executes this Amendment and Restatement Agreement as a “2018 Extending Lender” hereby agrees to such extension in accordance with this Section 4, and upon the effectiveness of this Amendment and Restatement Agreement, the Termination Date with respect to each Five Year Lender’s Five-Year Commitments and the end of the Five-Year Commitment Period shall be the 2018 Extended Termination Date. Each such 2018 Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to Gannett and the Administrative Agent this Amendment and Restatement Agreement, the 2018 Master Assignment Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the extended Five-Year Commitments of such 2018 Extending Lender. Each such 2018 Extending Lender shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7 below.
5.Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, each Term Lender severally agrees to make Term Loans to Gannett on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Term Commitment of such Lender. The Term Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Term Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by Gannett and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.1B and 2.1C of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
6.Letters of Credit.
