At the time of sending such written notice to the Revolving Loan Lenders or any invitee, the Borrower (in consultation with the Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Revolving Loan Lender or invitee, as applicable, is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Revolving Loan Lenders or invitees) to such request. To the extent that the Borrower has requested the Revolving Loan Lenders to increase their respective Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder, each Revolving Loan Lender shall notify the Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its respective Revolving Loan Commitment and, if so, by what amount. Any Revolving Loan Lender not responding within

 

3


such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its respective Revolving Loan Commitment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Revolving Loan Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to increase its respective Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder. The consent of the Agent shall be required (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in order for a lender that is not an existing Lender to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.14, but the consent of the Lenders shall not be required in order for such lender to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.14.

(b) If the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section 2.14, the Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date of such increase (the “Increase Effective Date”). The Agent and the Borrower shall promptly notify the existing and additional Revolving Loan Lenders of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments, the final allocation of such aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments and the Increase Effective Date. Each existing Revolving Loan Lender that increases its Revolving Loan Commitment and each additional Revolving Loan Lender, if any, and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent (which the Agent shall also execute to acknowledge its acceptance thereof) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (a “Revolving Loan Lender Certificate”). Upon receipt by the Agent of Revolving Loan Lender Certificates from existing Revolving Loan Lenders and additional Revolving Loan Lenders, if any, in an amount sufficient to effectuate an increase in the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments: (i) the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments shall be increased, (ii) the Agent shall amend and distribute to the Borrower (and post to Intralinks for the Lenders) a revised Part I of Schedule 3 of the Revolving Loan Commitment of each existing and additional Revolving Loan Lender and the revised Revolving Loan Percentage Shares of the Revolving Loan Lenders (which shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement), (iii) each additional Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to be a party in all respects to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Revolving Loan Lenders are parties as of the Increase Effective Date and (iv) upon the Increase Effective Date, the Revolving Loan Lenders parties to such Revolving Loan Lender Certificates shall purchase from the (other) Revolving Loan Lender parties to this Agreement immediately prior to the Increase Effective Date the portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans (and participation interests in Letters of Credit) of each such (other) Revolving Loan Lender such that each Revolving Loan Lender (including any additional Revolving Loan Lender, if any) shall hold its respective revised Revolving Loan Percentage Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans (and participation interests in Letters of Credit) as reflected in the revised Part I of Schedule 3 required by this Section 2.14, provided that the Borrower shall pay any amounts due under Section 3.5 to the extent that any such purchase gives rise to the costs indemnified thereby.

(c) As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a counterpart of the Revolving Loan Lender Certificates dated as of the Increase Effective Date (for posting on Intralinks) signed by an

 

4


Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, the representations and warranties contained in Article V are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date and no Default or Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency exists. The Borrower shall execute and deliver replacement Revolving Loan Notes, as required, in accordance with Section 2.13 reflecting such Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, which Revolving Loan Notes shall be dated as of the date of this Agreement and shall otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 2.14.

(d) This Section shall supersede any provision in Section 10.1 to the contrary.”

(c) Section 7.6(a). Clause (a) of Section 7.6 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(a) by Borrower to any of its shareholders on any date, provided that all Distributions made pursuant to this clause (a) in any Fiscal Year shall not exceed the Available Distribution Amount, or”

(d) Section 7.12. Section 7.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the phrase “greater than 2.0 to 1.0” with the phrase “greater than 2.5 to 1.0”.

(e) Section 7.13. Section 7.13 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Section 7.13 Reserved.”

(f) Section 7.14. Section 7.14 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Section 7.14 Minimum Asset Coverage Ratio.

(g) Schedule 3. Part I of Schedule 3 to the Credit Agreement is hereby replaced with Annex I attached hereto.

(h) Exhibit H. A new Exhibit H is hereby added to the Credit Agreement in the form of Annex II hereto.

2. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower and each Restricted Person hereby represents and warrants that after giving effect hereto:

(a) the representations and warranties of the Borrower and such Restricted Person contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Effective Date, other than those representations and warranties that expressly relate solely to a specific earlier date, which shall remain correct in all material respects as of such earlier date;

 

5


(b) the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower and such Restricted Person of this Amendment are within their corporate or limited liability powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary action, require, in respect of any of them, no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental authority which has not been performed or obtained and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of Law or regulation or the articles of incorporation or the bylaws of any of them or any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or such Restricted Person or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any of them except as contemplated by the Loan Documents;

(d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

3. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall be deemed effective as of the Effective Date when:

(b) as consideration for the extension of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent for the account and of the Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders the fees set forth in the Fee Letter dated July 24, 2008; and

(c) to the extent requested by it, (i) each New Revolving Loan Lender (as defined in Section 8 below) shall have received a Revolving Loan Note and (ii) each existing Revolving Loan Lender shall have received its replacement Revolving Loan Note, in each case payable to it in the principal amount of its “Revolving Loan Commitment” as specified in Annex I attached hereto (or the Agent shall have received such note on its behalf );

provided that Section 1(b) shall not become effective until such time that (i) the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof duly executed by all Revolving Loan Lenders; and (ii) the Tranche B Repayment Date has occurred.
