12



 

(c)                                                  The Administrative Agent shall have received a notice of such borrowing as required by subsection 2.3 of the Credit Agreement (taking into account any waiver by the Administrative Agent of the required notice period for delivery of such notice in accordance with the terms of such subsection 2.3).

 

(d)                                                 The Administrative Agent shall have received (i) the executed legal opinion of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, counsel to each of Holding, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the executed legal opinion of Richards, Layton & Finger P.A., special Delaware counsel to the Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(e)                                                  The Borrower shall have delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent, certifying compliance with the financial test set forth in clause (ii)(x) of the definition of “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount” (together with calculations demonstrating compliance with such test) after giving effect to the borrowing of the Tranche B Term Loans and the use of proceeds thereof.

 

(f)                                                   The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from the Borrower, dated the First Amendment Effective Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit I to the Credit Agreement, with the appropriate modifications, insertions and attachments of resolutions or other actions, evidence of incumbency and the signature of authorized signatories and Organizational Documents (or if applicable, certifying that there have been no changes to the Organizational Documents provided to the Administrative Agent in connection with the effectiveness of the Initial Credit Agreement), executed by a Responsible Officer or other authorized representative and the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary or another authorized representative of the Borrower.

 

(g)                                                  The representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects (provided that any such representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects (after giving effect to such qualification therein)) on and as of the date hereof as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty speaks to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects or in all respects, as applicable, on and as of such earlier date).

 

(h)                                                 The Administrative Agent shall have received all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with this First Amendment, including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of legal counsel required to be reimbursed or paid by the Borrower under subsection 10.5 of the Credit Agreement.

 

The making of the Tranche B Term Loans by the Tranche B Term Lenders hereunder shall conclusively be deemed to constitute an acknowledgement by the Administrative Agent and each Tranche B Term Lender that has made its respective Tranche B Term Loan that each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 of this First Amendment shall have been satisfied in accordance with its respective terms or shall have been irrevocably waived by such Person.

 

13



 

SECTION 4.                            Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Tranche B Term Lenders to enter into this First Amendment, the Borrower represents and warrants to each of the Tranche B Term Lenders and the Administrative Agent that after giving effect to this First Amendment and to the transactions contemplated hereby, (x) each of the representations and warranties made by Holding or the Borrower in the Credit Agreement or by any Loan Party in any other Loan Document, is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty speaks to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) and (y) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the borrowing of the Tranche B Term Loans and the use of the proceeds thereof. For avoidance of doubt, references to “Loan Document” in such representations and warranties include this First Amendment.

 

SECTION 5.                            Effects on Loan Documents; Acknowledgements.

 

(a)                                                 Except as expressly set forth herein, this First Amendment (i) shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each and every term, condition, obligation, covenant and agreement contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is hereby ratified and re-affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect and nothing herein can or may be construed as a novation thereof. On and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, each Loan Party reaffirms its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is party and the validity, enforceability and perfection of the Liens granted by it pursuant to the Security Documents. This First Amendment shall constitute a Second Lien Loan Document and a Loan Document, in each case, for purposes of the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document and from and after the First Amendment Effective Date, all references to the Credit Agreement in any Loan Document and all references in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall, unless expressly provided otherwise, refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this First Amendment. Each of the Loan Parties hereby consents to this First Amendment and confirms and reaffirms all obligations of such Loan Party under the Loan Documents (as amended pursuant to this First Amendment) to which such Loan Party is a party.

 

(b)                                                 Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document, in each case as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, hereby (i) acknowledges and agrees that the Tranche B Term Loans are Loans and the Tranche B Term Lenders are Lenders, (ii) acknowledges and agrees that all of its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Security Documents to which it is a party are reaffirmed and remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis, (iii) reaffirms each Lien granted by each Loan Party to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (including the Tranche B Term Lenders) and reaffirms the guaranties made pursuant to the Guarantee and

 

14



 

Collateral Agreement, (iv) acknowledges and agrees that the grants of security interests by and the guaranties of the Loan Parties contained in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Security Documents are, and shall remain, in full force and effect after giving effect to this First Amendment, and (v) agrees that the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations (each as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) include, among other things and without limitation, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of principal and interest on the Tranche B Term Loans.

 

(c)                                      From and after the First Amendment Effective Date, (i) the Tranche B Term Loans shall be “Incremental Term Loans”, (ii) the Tranche B Term Lenders that are not existing Lenders immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date shall be “Additional Incremental Lenders”, (iii) the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments shall be “Incremental Term Loan Commitments” and (iv) this First Amendment shall be an “Incremental Commitment Amendment” with respect to the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Second Lien Loan Documents. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby consent, pursuant to subsections 10.6(b)(i) and 2.9(b) of the Credit Agreement, to the inclusion as an “Additional Incremental Lender” of each Tranche B Term Lender that is party to this First Amendment in its capacity as such and is not, immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date, an existing Lender, an Affiliate of an existing Lender or an Approved Fund.

 

SECTION 6.                            Lender Consents and Authorization.

 

(a)                                     Each Tranche B Term Lender (i) represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into this First Amendment; (ii) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in subsections 4.1 and 6.1 of the Credit Agreement and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this First Amendment; (iii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (iv) appoints and authorizes each applicable Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto as are delegated to each such Agent, as applicable, by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are incidental thereto; (v) hereby affirms the acknowledgements and representations of such Tranche B Term Lender as a Lender contained in subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement; and (vi) agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement and will perform in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement all the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender, including its obligations pursuant to subsection 10.16 of the Credit Agreement, and, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, its obligations pursuant to subsection 3.11(b) of the Credit Agreement.

 

15



 

(b)                                                 Each Tranche B Term Lender acknowledges and agrees that, on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, such Tranche B Term Lender shall be a “Lender” with respect to its Tranche B Term Loan Commitment, under, and for all purposes of, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be subject to and bound by the terms thereof, shall perform all the obligations of and shall have all rights of a Lender thereunder, and shall make available such amount to fund its ratable share of outstanding Tranche B Term Loan Commitments on the [First Amendment Effective Date] in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement.

 

(c)                                                  Each Tranche B Term Lender has delivered or shall deliver herewith to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as such Tranche B Term Lender may be required to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 3.11 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(d)                                                 For purposes of the Credit Agreement, the initial notice address of each Tranche B Term Lender shall be as set forth in Annex I hereto.

 

(e)                                                  Upon the occurrence of the First Amendment Effective Date, the Administrative Agent will record the Tranche B Term Loans made by each Tranche B Term Lender on such date in the Register.

 

SECTION 7.                            Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this First Amendment by facsimile or any other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

SECTION 8.                            GOVERNING LAW, SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION, WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
