WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Maturity Date of the Credit Agreement be extended as set forth herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.                                Defined Terms.  Unless otherwise defined herein, each term defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meaning given to such term in the Credit Amendment.

 

SECTION 2.                                Extension of Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding any of the notice requirements of Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement and except as otherwise provided in Section 4 of this Agreement, but otherwise subject to such Section 2.17, the Maturity Date is hereby extended to September 24, 2004, with the Commitment of each Lender as set forth in Schedule A to this Agreement.

 

SECTION 3.                                Conditions to Effectiveness of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the “Extension Effective Date”) on which the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:

 

(a)                                  the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Agreement duly executed and delivered by each of (i) the Borrower and (ii) the Lenders;

 

(b)                                 the Administrative Agent shall have received an opinion of Christine P. Richards, counsel for the Borrower, dated as of the Extension Effective Date (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent);

 

(c)                                  no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

(d)                                 the principal amount of and accrued interest on any Loans and any fees or other amounts owing to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, as of the Extension Effective Date, shall be paid; and

 



 

(e)                                  the Administrative Agent shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable on or prior to the Extension Effective Date, including, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses required to be reimbursed or paid by the Borrower.

 

SECTION 4.                                Assignment; Commitments.   On the Extension Effective Date, each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement (as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement) whose Commitment will be reduced or terminated in connection with this Agreement (the “Assigning Lenders”) agrees to assign all or a portion, as the case may be, of its Commitment (as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement) and its related rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement (as in effect immediately after giving effect to this Agreement) whose Commitment will be increased or initiated in connection with this Agreement (the “Assignee Lenders”), such that after giving effect to such assignment and on the Extension Effective Date, the Commitment of each Lender shall be the amount set forth on Schedule A to this Agreement.  All applicable provisions of Section 9.06 and Exhibit E to the Credit Agreement shall apply to such assignments, which provisions are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

 

SECTION 5.                                Consent of Guarantors.  The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that no Guarantor consent is required for the extension of the Maturity Date as contemplated by Section 2.17 to the Credit Agreement and this Agreement.

 

SECTION 6.                                Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                  Effect.  Except as expressly amended hereby, all of the representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan Documents shall remain unamended and not waived and shall continue to be in full force and effect.  Each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby.

 

(b)                                 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

(c)                                  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
