1.Recitals. This Amendment shall constitute a Financing Document and the Recitals set forth above shall be construed as part of this Amendment as if set forth fully in the body of this Amendment.

 

2.Amendment to Credit Agreement.  Section 1.1 (Amended and Restated Definitions).  The defined term “Commitment Expiry Date” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“Commitment Expiry Date” means October 7, 2020.

(b)Confirmation of Representations and Warranties; Reaffirmation of Security Interest.

 

(a)Each Borrower hereby confirms that all of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects with respect to such Borrower as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, and covenants to perform its respective obligations under the Credit Agreement.  To induce Agent and Lender to enter into this Agreement, Borrowers and Parent further represent and warrant that:

 

(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing as of the date hereof;

(ii)as of the date hereof and, immediately after giving effect to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, the representations and warranties of Borrowers contained in the Financing Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or if any representation or warranty is qualified with respect to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the date hereof to the same extent as though made on and as of such date except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date; and

(iii)the execution, delivery and performance by Borrowers and Parent of this Amendment are within each of its corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and this Amendment is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrowers and Parent enforceable against Borrowers and Parent in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles, and neither the execution, delivery or performance by Borrowers and Parent of this Agreement (A) violates any Law, or any other rule or decree of any Governmental Authority, (B) conflicts with or results in the breach or termination of, constitutes a default under or accelerates any performance required by, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which

2

(b)Each Borrower and Parent confirms and agrees that all security interests and Liens granted to Agent continue in full force and effect, and all Collateral remains free and clear of any Liens, other than those granted to Agent and Permitted Liens. Nothing herein is intended to impair or limit the validity, priority or extent of Agent’s security interests in and Liens on the Collateral.  For the avoidance of any doubt, the Collateral secures repayment of the Obligations and the Affiliated Obligations, and in furtherance thereof, Borrowers and Parent hereby reaffirm the grant to Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, of a continuing first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on and security interest in all of the Collateral as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, and for the payment and performance of all obligations under the Affiliated Financing Documents.

 

3.Enforceability. This Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower and Parent, and is enforceable against each Borrower and Parent in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

 

4.Costs and Fees.

5.Reaffirmation of Security Interest.  Each of the Borrowers and Parent confirms and agrees that:  (i) all security interests and liens granted to Agent continue in full force and effect, and (ii) all Collateral remains free and clear of any liens other than liens in favor of Agent and Permitted Encumbrances.  Nothing herein contained is intended to impair or limit the validity, priority and extent of Agent’s security interest in and liens upon the Collateral.
