Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is hereby made to the above-referenced Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
You have advised us that the Borrower intends to acquire all the outstanding capital stock of [Project Titanium] (the "Target Company"), for an aggregate consideration of $1, not including the fees and expenses associated therewith (the "Acquisition"). You have also advised us that the Acquisition would be permitted by Section 6.5(b) of the Credit Agreement except that the Target Company does not have earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the prior four fiscal quarters in an amount greater than $0 (the "Earnings Requirement"). In order to consummate the Acquisition of the Target Company, the Borrower has requested the consent and agreement of the Lenders.
The undersigned Lenders hereby consent and agree that, notwithstanding the Earnings Requirement of Section 6.5(b) of the Credit Agreement, upon satisfaction of each of the other requirements set forth in Section 6.5(b), the Borrower may consummate the Acquisition of the Target Company.
The foregoing consent is conditioned upon the occurrence of the following: (i) the Borrower shall have consummated the Acquisition of the Target Company and (ii) the Borrower's satisfaction of each of the terms and conditions within the applicable time periods set forth in the attached Exhibit A in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.
Except to the extent specifically provided to the contrary in this Consent, all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, without modification or limitation. This Consent shall not operate as a consent to any other action or inaction by the Parent, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or as a waiver or amendment of any right, power, or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement nor constitute a consent to any such action or inaction, or a waiver or amendment of any provision contained in the Credit Agreement except as specifically provided herein. This Consent may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
Please indicate your acknowledgment, acceptance and agreement or consent, as the case may be, to the foregoing Consent by signing in the space provided below and returning an executed counterpart to the Administrative Agent by NO LATER THAN 5:00 P.M. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2002.
