(the "Borrower"), the Lenders party thereto, and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, as successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Administrative Agent (the "Administrative Agent"). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
WHEREAS the Borrower has requested the Lenders to amend the Credit Agreement and agree to certain waivers and agreements as set forth herein; and
WHEREAS the undersigned Lenders are willing to approve such amendment and agree to such waivers and agreements, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Amendments. (a) Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, as of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Section 5 below), by deleting the amount "$50,000,000" contained therein and substituting in lieu thereof the amount "$100,000,000".
- Section 6.04 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, as of the Amendment Effective Date, by deleting the amount "$150,000,000" contained in clause (1) thereof and substituting in lieu thereof the amount "$450,000,000".
SECTION 2. Waivers and Agreements. The parties hereto hereby agree to reduce the Revolving Commitments to $1,750,000,000, effective upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5. This agreement shall constitute notice under Section 2.09(c) of the Credit Agreement. The Required Lenders hereby waive receipt of such notice at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such reduction.
SECTION 3. Representation and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants to each of the Lenders, on and as of the date hereof after giving effect to this Amendment, that:
- The representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in each Loan Document are true and correct on and as of the date hereof except to the extent that any such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date in which case any such representations and warranties shall be true and correct at and as of such earlier date.
- No Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 4. Applicable Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 5. Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective (the date on which this Amendment so becomes effective being herein called the "Amendment Effective Date") only when (a) the Administrative Agent or its counsel shall have received duly executed counterparts of this Amendment which, when taken together, bear the signatures of the Borrower and the Required Lenders and (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender executing this Amendment on or prior to 12:00 noon, eastern standard time, on March 1, 2002, a lender fee equal to 5 basis points multiplied by the sum of such Lender's Revolving Commitment, as reduced pursuant to Section 2, and outstanding Term Loans. Unless and until this Amendment becomes effective, the Credit Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the provisions thereof and the rights and obligations of the parties thereof shall not be affected hereby.
SECTION 6. Amended Credit Agreement. Any reference in the Credit Agreement, or in any documents or instruments required thereunder or annexes or schedules thereto, referring to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended and modified by this Amendment. As used in the Credit Agreement the terms "Agreement", "this Agreement", "herein", "hereinafter", "hereto", "hereof" and words of similar import shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement are hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects and shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 7. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
SECTION 8. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Amendment, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, counsel for the Administrative Agent.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first written above.
