W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower, Holdings, the Lenders and the Agent are parties to that certain Term Loan Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2014 (as amended by the First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement dated as of April 10, 2015 and the Second Amendment to Term Loan Agreement dated as of November 8, 2016 and as it may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Term Loan Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Term Loan Agreement), pursuant to which the Lenders have made certain Term Loans to the Borrower;

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested certain amendments to the Term Loan Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the requisite Lenders are willing to agree to such amendments and the parties have agreed to effect such amendments through this Amendment;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties (including the Agent and the Required Lenders) agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Term Loan Agreement Amendments.  Effective upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 below, the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

a.                                      The definition of “Adjusted Operating Ratio” in Section 1.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof: “For purposes of determining the Adjusted Operating Ratio for any period, interest expense on any Indebtedness (including the interest component of any Capital Lease Obligations) incurred in connection with each Permitted Lease Conversion (or any refinancing thereof) for such period shall be deemed an operating expense and deducted in the calculation of Adjusted Operating Income for such period.”

 

b.                                      The definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” in Section 1.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the words “, a Permitted Lease Conversion” immediately after the words “a Permitted Acquisition” appearing in the final sentence thereof.

 



 

c.                                       The definition of “Pro Forma Basis” in Section 1.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

Pro Forma Basis” means, for purposes of calculating the financial covenants set forth in Article VI or compliance with any covenants referencing such financial covenants, that any disposition, Acquisition (of all or substantially all of the assets or equity interests of a Person or line of business or division) or Permitted Lease Conversion shall be deemed to have occurred as of the first day of the most recent four fiscal quarter period preceding the date of such transaction for which the Borrower was required to deliver financial statements pursuant to Section 5.1(a). In connection with the foregoing, with respect to any disposition, Acquisition or Permitted Lease Conversion (i) income statement and cash flow statement items (whether positive or negative) attributable to the Person or property acquired or disposed of, or the subject of a Permitted Lease Conversion, shall be adjusted to the extent relating to any period occurring prior to the date of such transaction and (ii) any Indebtedness incurred or assumed or repaid by the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including the Person or property acquired) in connection with such transaction (A) shall be deemed to have been incurred or repaid as of the first day of the applicable period and (B) if such Indebtedness has a floating or formula rate, shall have an implied rate of interest for the applicable period for purposes of this definition determined by utilizing the rate which is or would be in effect with respect to such Indebtedness as at the relevant date of determination.  For purposes of illustration, the adjustments giving effect to the Daimler Lease Conversion are set forth on Part II of Exhibit A.”

 

d.                                      The definition of “Rental Expense” in Section 1.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following words immediately prior to the period at the end thereof: “, but excluding any such expense pursuant to Capital Lease Obligations. If at any time during a Reference Period, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall have made a Permitted Acquisition, Permitted Lease Conversion, or Permitted Disposition, Rental Expense for such Reference Period shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis”.

 

e.                                       Section 1.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order:

 

Daimler Lease Conversion” means the acquisition by a Loan Party in one or more related transactions of Rolling Stock described on Part I of Exhibit A, pursuant to transaction documents in substantially the form of the promissory note attached hereto as Exhibit B, and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the definition of Permitted Lease Conversion.”

 

Permitted Lease Conversion” shall mean (a) the Daimler Lease Conversion and (b) any other conversion or refinancing of any operating lease of Rolling Stock (the payments on which were included in Rental Expense for any prior period) into Permitted Indebtedness described in clause (f) of the definition thereof secured by a Permitted Lien described in clause (f) of the definition thereof in each case subject to (1) the simultaneous acquisition by the Borrower of title to the Rolling Stock so converted or

 

2



 

refinanced and (2) the simultaneous extinguishment of the operating lease of such Rolling Stock so converted or refinanced; provided, that, the fair market value of Rolling Stock acquired in Permitted Lease Conversions pursuant to clause (b) hereof shall not exceed (x) $37,500,000 in any calendar year (the “Permitted Lease Conversion Annual Amount”), commencing with the 2017 calendar year or (y) $75,000,000 in the aggregate from January 1, 2017 through the Maturity Date (the “Permitted Lease Conversion Aggregate Amount”).  So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, to the extent the fair market value of Rolling Stock acquired in Permitted Lease Conversions in any calendar year does not exceed the Permitted Lease Conversion Annual Amount, such unused amount may be carried forward to the immediately succeeding calendar year and the unused amount carried forward shall be deemed to be expended last, so long as the fair market value of Rolling Stock acquired in Permitted Lease Conversions shall not at any time exceed the Permitted Lease Conversion Aggregate Amount.”

 

Permitted Lease Conversion Annual Amount” and “Permitted Lease Conversion Aggregate Amount” shall each have the meaning set forth in the definition of “Permitted Lease Conversion”.”

 

f.                                        Section 6.3 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence immediately after the period at the end thereof:

 

Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Capital Expenditure Limitation in each period will be deemed to be automatically (x) increased by an amount equal to the fair market value of the Rolling Stock acquired in any Permitted Lease Conversion and (y) decreased by an amount equal to the fair market value of the Rolling Stock acquired in a Permitted Lease Conversion at the time such Rolling Stock becomes subject to an operating lease.”

 

g.                                       Exhibits A and B hereto are hereby added to the Term Loan Agreement as new “Exhibit A” and “Exhibit B”, respectively, immediately before Exhibit 2.1(c) thereto.

 

2.                                      Conditions to Effectiveness of this Amendment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Amendment and without affecting in any manner the rights of the Lenders hereunder, it is understood and agreed that the amendments set forth in Section 1 above shall not become effective, and the Borrower shall have no rights thereunder, unless and until the Agent and Lead Lenders receive:
