W I T N E S S E T H :

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Cash Flow Credit Agreement dated as of April 12, 2018 (as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of November 14, 2018, and as the same may be further amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Subsection 2.10 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower has requested that the Initial Revolving Commitment outstanding immediately prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date (the “Existing Revolving Commitment”) of each Person set forth on Annex I hereto (the “Extending Revolving Lenders”) be converted to extend the scheduled termination date of such Existing Revolving Commitments and each Extending Revolving Lender has agreed to extend the scheduled termination date of such Existing Revolving Commitments (such Existing Revolving Commitments as extended, the “Extended Initial Revolving Commitments”), in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

 

WHEREAS, each Extending Revolving Lenders’ Existing Revolving Commitment shall be terminated upon the effectiveness of this Second Amendment, and shall be replaced by an Extended Initial Revolving Commitment in an aggregate amount as set forth on Annex I hereto; and

 

WHEREAS, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., UBS Securities LLC, Barclays Bank PLC, Royal Bank of Canada, Jefferies Finance LLC, MUFG Union Bank, N.A., Natixis, New York Branch, Société Générale and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank are the joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners for this Second Amendment and the Extended Initial Revolving Commitments (in such capacity, the “Second Amendment Lead Arrangers”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

   

 

 

Section 1.      Agreements and Amendment of the Credit Agreement.

 

(a)            Certain Agreements.

 

(i)            Any commitment fees under Subsection 4.5(c) of the Credit Agreement and any Letter of Credit fees under Subsection 2.6 of the Credit Agreement, in each case, accrued to, but not including, the Second Amendment Effective Date, shall be paid in full in cash on the Second Amendment Effective Date, it being understood and agreed that such fees pursuant to such Subsections shall accrue for the account of the Extending Revolving Lenders from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date. Any accrued and unpaid interest on Revolving Loans outstanding immediately prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, accrued to, but not including the Second Amendment Effective Date, shall be paid in full in cash on the Second Amendment Effective Date, it being understood and agreed that interest shall accrue for the account of the Extending Revolving Lenders from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date.

 

(ii)            Unless the context shall otherwise require, the Extending Revolving Lenders shall constitute “Revolving Lenders” and “Lenders,” the Extended Initial Revolving Commitments shall constitute “Initial Revolving Commitments”, “Extended Revolving Commitments” and “Commitments” and revolving loans made pursuant to the Extended Initial Revolving Commitments shall constitute “Initial Revolving Loans” and “Loans,” in each case for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(iii)            Each Issuing Bank and each Extending Revolving Lender hereby agrees that, notwithstanding the termination of the Existing Revolving Commitments, the Letters of Credit outstanding on the Second Amendment Effective Date shall remain outstanding, and each Extending Revolving Lender further agrees that it shall be bound by the applicable provisions of Subsection 2.6 of the Credit Agreement in respect thereof.

 

(iv)            On the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Section 2 hereof), (i) the Borrower and Extending Revolving Lenders shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, (x) repay applicable Revolving Loans outstanding on such Second Amendment Effective Date of certain Revolving Lenders, and (in the case of Extending Revolving Lenders only) purchase applicable Revolving Loans from certain other Revolving Lenders, and (y) take such other actions as reasonably may be required by the Administrative Agent as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such repayments, purchases and other actions, the Revolving Lenders effectively participate in each of the outstanding Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined after giving effect to this Second Amendment), and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Subsection 4.12 of the Credit Agreement in connection with any repayment of Revolving Loans required pursuant to the preceding clause (i).

 

(b)            Initial Amendments. Each Extending Revolving Lender, Issuing Bank, Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees that the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

 2 

 

 

(i)            Subsection 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new definitions, to appear in proper alphabetical order:

 

Extended Initial Revolving Commitments”: as defined in the Second Amendment. As of the Second Amendment Effective Date, immediately after giving effect to the Second Amendment, the aggregate amount of the Extended Initial Revolving Commitments of the Lenders is $92,000,000. Unless the context shall otherwise require, Extended Initial Revolving Commitments shall constitute “Initial Revolving Commitments” and “Commitments” and revolving loans made pursuant to the Extended Initial Revolving Commitments shall constitute “Initial Revolving Loans” and “Loans,” in each case for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.”

 

““Non-Extending Revolving Lender”: any Revolving Lender that did not consent to the extension of such Lender’s Initial Revolving Commitment pursuant to the Second Amendment. As of the Second Amendment Effective Date, the aggregate amount of the Initial Revolving Commitments of the Non-Extending Revolving Lenders is $23,000,000.”

 

““Second Amendment”: the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of April 15, 2021, by and among the Loan Parties, the Revolving Lenders and Issuing Banks party thereto and the Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender.”

 

““Second Amendment Effective Date”: April 15, 2021.”

 

(ii)            Subsection 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating in its entirety the definition of “Initial Revolving Maturity Date” as follows:

 

““Initial Revolving Maturity Date”: April 12, 2026.”

 

(iii)            The Schedules to the Credit Agreement are hereby amended by deleting Schedule A in its entirety and replacing it with Annex I hereto.

 

(c)            Further Agreements and Amendments. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) at any time prior to the Initial Revolving Maturity Date with respect to Loans made by Non-Extending Revolving Lenders, all borrowings and repayments of Revolving Loans shall be pro rata between Extending Revolving Lenders and Non-Extending Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Initial Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the Commitments of Non-Extending Revolving Lenders (i.e. April 12, 2023)) and (ii) on the Initial Revolving Maturity Date with respect to Loans made by Non-Extending Revolving Lenders, (x) the aggregate amount of participations in Letters of Credit held by Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to be reallocated so that the participations of the Revolving Lenders in outstanding Letters of Credit shall be in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such Initial Revolving Maturity Date and the Extending Revolving Lenders shall purchase Revolving Loans from the Non-Extending Revolving Lenders so that the Revolving Loans held by Extending Revolving Lenders shall be in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such Initial Revolving Maturity Date and (y) to the extent that, after giving effect to the reallocations and transfers pursuant to the preceding clause (x), the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding, when added to the sum of the then outstanding L/C Obligations, exceeds the Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such Initial Revolving Maturity Date, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans by the amount of such excess. For the avoidance of doubt, following the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Extended Initial Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to constitute a separate and distinct Tranche of Revolving Commitments from the Initial Revolving Commitments as in effect immediately prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, and, on the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Initial Revolving Commitment of each of the Extending Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have been automatically and permanently terminated and replaced by the Extended Initial Revolving Commitment of such Extending Revolving Lender.

(a)            the execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party party hereto of this Second Amendment are within the such Loan Party’s corporate or other organizational powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and will not (i) violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Loan Party in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of such Loan Party’s properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation and (iii)  violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of such Loan Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, except (other than with respect to the Borrower) as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(b)             this Second Amendment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party hereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law); and

 

(c)            after giving effect to the amendments set forth in this Second Amendment, all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.

Section 5.      Effects on Loan Documents; Acknowledgement.

Each and every term, condition, obligation, covenant and agreement contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is hereby ratified and re-affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect and nothing herein can or may be construed as a novation thereof. Each Loan Party reaffirms its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is party and the validity, enforceability and perfection of the Liens granted by it pursuant to the Security Documents on the Second Amendment Effective Date. This Second Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for purposes of the Credit Agreement and from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, all references to the Credit Agreement in any Loan Document and all references in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall, unless expressly provided otherwise, refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Second Amendment. Each of the Loan Parties hereby consents to this Second Amendment and confirms that all obligations of such Loan Party under the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party shall continue to apply to the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby. The term “Indemnitees” in the Credit Agreement shall be construed to include the Second Amendment Lead Arrangers in their capacities as such.

In the event that any Lender that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Lender of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event that any Lender that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Lender becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Lender are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.”

Section 4.         Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Tranche B Term Lenders to consent to this Third Amendment and the 2021 Supplemental Term Lenders to enter into the 2021 Term Increase Supplement and to make their respective Tranche B Term Loans, the Borrower with respect to itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries represents and warrants to each of the Tranche B Term Lenders, the 2021 Supplemental Term Lenders and the Agents that on and as of the date hereof after giving effect to this Third Amendment:

 

(a)           the execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party party hereto or thereto of this Third Amendment and the 2021 Term Increase Supplement are within the such Loan Party’s corporate or other organizational powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and will not (i) violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Loan Party in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of such Loan Party’s properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation and (iii)  violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of such Loan Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, except (other than with respect to the Borrower) as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(b)           this Third Amendment and the 2021 Term Increase Supplement each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party hereto or thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law); and

 

(c)           after giving effect to the amendments set forth in this Third Amendment and the 2021 Term Increase Supplement, all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.

Within 180 days of the Third Amendment Effective Date (or such later date as reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, the following documents with respect to that certain Mortgaged Fee Property located at 7301-7311 Fairview St., Houston, Texas 77041, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

 

(a)            an amendment to the existing Mortgage (the “Mortgage Amendment”) to reflect the matters set forth in this the Second Amendment, dated as of the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined therein) and the matters set forth in Third Amendment, duly executed and acknowledged by the applicable Loan Party, and in form for recording in the recording office where such Mortgage was recorded, together with such certificates, affidavits, questionnaires or returns as shall be required in connection with the recording or filing thereof under applicable law; provided, that the applicable Loan Party shall only be obligated to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such Mortgage Amendment and shall not be responsible for recording such Mortgage Amendment (other than in respect of fees, taxes and expenses related to such recording) in the event that the Collateral Agent shall fail to do so after such Mortgage Amendment has been executed and delivered;

 

21

 

 

(b)           a Form T-38 endorsement to the existing lender’s title insurance policy (or, to the extent a Form T-38 endorsement is not available in the applicable jurisdiction and if reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in light of the value of such Mortgaged Fee Property and the cost and availability of another title product, and whether the delivery of such other title product would be customary in similar circumstances, such other title product as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent); and

 

(c)           such affidavits, certificates, information and instruments of indemnification as shall be required to induce the title insurance company to issue the Form T-38 endorsement (or other title product) to the title policy contemplated in this Section 5 and evidence of payment by the Borrower of all applicable title insurance premiums, search and examination charges, escrow charges and related charges, mortgage recording taxes, fees, charges, costs and expenses required for the recording of the Mortgage Amendment and issuance of such T-38 endorsements (or other title product) to the title policy referred to above.

 

Section 6.         Effects on Loan Documents; Acknowledgement.

 

(a)           Except as expressly set forth herein, this Third Amendment (i) shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each and every term, condition, obligation, covenant and agreement contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is hereby ratified and re-affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect and nothing herein can or may be construed as a novation thereof. Each Loan Party reaffirms its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is party and the validity, enforceability and perfection of the Liens granted by it pursuant to the Security Documents on the Third Amendment Effective Date. This Third Amendment and the 2021 Term Increase Supplement shall constitute Loan Documents for purposes of the Credit Agreement and from and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, all references to the Credit Agreement in any Loan Document and all references in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall, unless expressly provided otherwise, refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Third Amendment and the 2021 Term Increase Supplement. Each of the Loan Parties hereby consents to this Third Amendment and the 2021 Term Increase Supplement and confirms that all obligations of such Loan Party under the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party shall continue to apply to the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby. The term “Indemnitees” in the Existing Credit Agreement shall be construed to include the Third Amendment Lead Arrangers in their capacities as such.

 

22

 

 

(b)           Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Security Documents, in each case as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, hereby (i) acknowledges and agrees that the Tranche B Term Loans are Term Loans and the Tranche B Term Lenders are Lenders, (ii) acknowledges and agrees that all of its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Security Documents to which it is a party are reaffirmed and remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis, (iii) reaffirms each Lien granted by such Loan Party to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (including the Tranche B Term Lenders) and reaffirms the guaranties made pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, (iv) acknowledges and agrees that the grants of security interests by and the guaranties of such Loan Party contained in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Security Documents are, and shall remain, in full force and effect after giving effect to the Third Amendment and the 2021 Term Increase Supplement and (v) agrees that the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations (each as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) include, among other things and without limitation, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of principal and interest on, the Tranche B Term Loans.

 

Section 7.         Lender Consents and Authorization.

 

(a)           Each Tranche B Term Lender party hereto (i) represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into this Third Amendment; (ii) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Subsections 5.1 and 7.1 of the Credit Agreement and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Third Amendment; (iii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (iv) appoints and authorizes each applicable Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto as are delegated to each such Agent, as applicable, by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are incidental thereto; (v) hereby affirms the acknowledgements and representations of such Tranche B Term Lender party hereto as a Lender contained in Subsection 10.5 of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the reference to the “Confidential Information Memorandum” in the second sentence thereof shall instead refer to that certain Lender Presentation dated March 22, 2021 and furnished to the lenders on March 22, 2021; and (vi) agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement and will perform in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement all the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender, including its obligations pursuant to Subsection 11.16 of the Credit Agreement, and, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, its obligations pursuant to Subsection 4.11(b) of the Credit Agreement.

 

23

 

 

(b)           Each Tranche B Term Lender party hereto has delivered or shall deliver herewith to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as such Tranche B Term Lender party hereto may be required to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Subsection 4.11 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(c)           Upon execution, delivery and effectiveness hereof, the Administrative Agent will record the Tranche B Term Loans of each Tranche B Term Lender party hereto in the Register.

 

Section 8.         Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for (1) all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Third Amendment and the 2021 Term Increase Supplement, any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and (2) the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, as counsel to the Administrative Agent (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not of counsel to any other Lender).

 

Section 9.         Execution in Counterparts. This Third Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Third Amendment on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile and other electronic transmission), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document signed in connection with this Third Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Third Amendment by facsimile or any other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

Section 10.       Governing Law. THIS THIRD AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS THIRD AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

In the event that any Lender that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Lender of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event that any Lender that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Lender becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Lender are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.”

Section 2.          Interpretation. For purposes of this Fifth Amendment, all terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein, including but not limited to those terms used in the recitals hereto, shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Amended Credit Agreement.

(b)          The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders in writing when the Fifth Amendment Effective Date has occurred.

 

The execution and delivery of this Fifth Amendment by the Lenders hereunder shall conclusively be deemed to constitute an acknowledgement by the Administrative Agent and Lenders that each of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 3 shall have been satisfied in accordance with its respective terms or shall have been irrevocably waived by such Person.

 

Section 4.          Representations and Warranties. After giving effect to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party pursuant to the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document to which it is a party shall, except to the extent that they relate to a particular date, be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date as if made on and as of such date.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or any other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

 -5- 

 

 

Section 7.          Governing Law.

Section 8.          Headings. The headings of this Fifth Amendment are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

 

Section 9.          Effect of Amendment. This Fifth Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for purposes of the Credit Agreement and from and after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, all references to the Credit Agreement in any Loan Document and all references in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall, unless expressly provided otherwise, refer to the Amended Credit Agreement, except for (a) the representations and warranties made by the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties prior to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date (which representations and warranties made prior to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date shall not be superseded or rendered ineffective by this Fifth Amendment as they pertain to the period prior to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date) and (b) any action or omission performed or required to be performed pursuant to the Credit Agreement prior to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any certificate or other document the form of which is set out in any exhibit attached to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document may be revised, as applicable, to refer to the Amended Credit Agreement.

Cornerstone Building Brands Announces Completion of Debt Refinancing and Repayment of its $645 million, 8.00% Senior Notes

 

CARY, NC, April 15, 2021 - Cornerstone Building Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CNR) (the “Company”), the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America, today announced that it has fully redeemed its $645 million aggregate principal amount of 8.00% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) using available cash from the balance sheet and net proceeds from its extended and upsized senior term loan facility. The Company successfully upsized and extended the maturity of its $2,498 million senior term loan facility due 2025 in the form of $2,600 million in Tranche B term loans due April 12, 2028. Additionally, the Company has amended and refinanced its senior cash flow based and asset-based revolving credit facilities, extending the maturities to April 12, 2026.

 

“We are incredibly pleased with the execution and support of our refinancing transactions,” said Jeff Lee, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We have refinanced all of our credit facilities, meaningfully extending our debt maturities, while maintaining our covenant-lite structure. Using available cash from the balance sheet and proceeds from the upsized term loan, we fully redeemed the $645 million principal, 8% senior notes due 2026 decreasing our annual interest costs by over $50 million a year. We will continue to focus on driving value through the execution of our capital allocation priorities, which includes investments in the core business, margin enhancing growth investments, and debt pay down,” Lee concluded.

 

The redemption price for the Notes was at 104%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.
