6

The Agent and the Banks agree that upon the occurrence of an Additional Collateral Event, the Agent and the Banks (i) will require the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to grant a lien in such property only as is, in the Agent’s reasonable judgment, necessary to cause the Aggregate Usage to be sufficiently collateralized (after taking into account any other Debt that shares in the collateral) as reasonably determined by the Agent, (ii) will not require the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to grant a lien in any property other than accounts receivable if the accounts receivable of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries can sufficiently collaterize the Aggregate Usage (after taking into account any other Debt that shares in the collateral) as reasonably determined by the Agent and (iii) will not require the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to grant a lien on the assets of any Foreign Subsidiary or to pledge more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the stock of any Foreign Subsidiary.

 

(c) No Further Negative Pledges. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Domestic Subsidiary that is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary to, to enter into, assume or become subject to any agreement prohibiting or otherwise restricting the creation or assumption of any Lien in favor of the Agent and the Banks to secure the Debt under the Financing Documents upon its properties or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or requiring the grant of any security for any obligation if security is given in favor of the Agent and the Banks to secure the Debt under the Financing Documents (including, without limitation, any agreement governing Debt that requires that such Debt share in any Liens granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, to secure the Debt under the Financing Documents), except for any such prohibitions or restrictions contained in:

 

(i) the Financing Documents;

 

(ii) the agreement or instrument governing any purchase money Debt but only to the extent such prohibitions or restrictions relate only to the property that is the subject of such purchase money financing;

 

(iii) any intellectual property license in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is the licensee but only to the extent such limitations relate only to the property that is the subject of such license;

 

(iv) any operating lease in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is the lessee but only to the extent such limitations relate only to the property that is the subject of such lease;

 

(v) any asset sale agreement (or other agreements governing the sale, lease or other disposition of assets (including stock)) but only to the extent such limitations relate only to the property that is the subject of such transaction;

 

7


 

(vi) the indentures or other agreements governing the Existing Negative Pledge Debt, so long as such prohibitions or restrictions are no more restrictive than those in effect on December 21, 2001;

 

(vii) the indentures or other agreements governing any other Debt of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (the “Additional Negative Pledge Debt”), provided that (A) the aggregate amount of the Additional Negative Pledge Debt shall not exceed $100,000,000 at any time outstanding, (B) during any Collateral Period, the Borrower shall not incur any Additional Negative Pledge Debt if, after giving effect to such incurrence, the aggregate amount of all Additional Negative Pledge Debt outstanding would exceed seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of Consolidated Net Worth as of the date of the incurrence, and (C) such prohibitions or restrictions shall not be more restrictive than such prohibitions and restrictions contained in the 7.35% Notes Indenture.

 

(d) Subsequent Collateral Period. Upon the commencement of any Collateral Period (other than the initial Collateral Period), the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor (other than Emery Worldwide Airlines, Inc. and CNF Properties, Inc.) shall execute and deliver a security agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto to be effective as of the commencement of such Collateral Period.

 

1.11 Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended by the addition of a new clause (n) immediately following clause (m) thereof to read as follows:

 

(n) during any Collateral Period, the Security Agreement shall fail to be in full force and effect or shall fail to give the Agent the security interests and liens purported to be created thereby;

 

2. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall be effective as of the date hereof upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

8


respects as of the date hereof after giving effect to this Amendment (except those that expressly relate to an earlier date in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct as of such earlier date).

(a) The Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment.

 

(b) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes the Borrower’s legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

 

(c) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any court or Governmental Authority or third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of this Amendment.

 

5. Instrument Pursuant to Credit Agreement. This Amendment is a Financing Document executed pursuant to the Credit Agreement and shall (unless otherwise expressly indicated therein) be construed, administered and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement.

Delivery of executed counterparts of this Amendment by telecopy shall be effective as an original and shall constitute a representation that an original shall be delivered.

 

8. No Waiver. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Banks or the Agent under the Financing Documents or constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents.

 

9. General Release. In consideration of the Required Banks entering into this Amendment, the Borrower hereby releases the Agent, the Banks and the Agent’s and the Banks’ respective officers, employees, representatives, agents, counsel and directors from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages and liabilities of whatever kind or nature, in law or in equity, not known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, to the extent that any of the foregoing arises from any action or failure to act under the Credit Agreement or any other Financing Document on or prior to the date hereof.
