(i) (i) Upon the reasonable request of any Lender made at least five days prior to the Amendment Effective Date, the Company shall have provided to such Lender with respect to PCLPULC, and such Lender shall be reasonably satisfied with, the documentation and other information so requested with respect to PCLPULC in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act, in each case at least three days prior to the Amendment Effective Date, and (ii) if PCLPULC qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, PCLPULC shall have delivered, to each Lender that so requests, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to it.
(j) All outstanding Loans and other Obligations owing by PMCULC to Administrative Agent and/or Lenders shall have been paid in full.
For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this § 3.1, each Lender that has signed this Amendment shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Amendment Effective Date specifying its objection thereto and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to promptly provide the Company with a copy of any such notice received by the Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE IV. — Representations and Warranties
§ 4.1. Representations and Warranties of the Company, PMCULC and PCLPULC. In order to induce Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers and Lenders to enter into this Amendment, the Company (and each of PMCULC and PCLPULC, solely as to itself) represents and warrants to Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers and each Lender that:
(c) The representations and warranties of (i) the Company (and each of PMCULC and PCLPULC, solely as to itself) contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement and (ii) each Loan Party in any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement.
(d) No Default has occurred and is continuing as of the Amendment Effective Date or would immediately result from the effectiveness hereof.
ARTICLE V. — Miscellaneous
§ 5.1. Ratification of Agreements. The Original Agreement, as hereby amended, is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. The Loan Documents, as they may be amended or affected by this Amendment, are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects by each Borrower and PAA. Any reference to the Original Agreement in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement. Upon and after the effectiveness hereof, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.
§ 5.2. Ratification of PAA Guaranty and Collateral Documents. PAA, by its signature hereto, represents and warrants that PAA has no defense to the enforcement of the PAA Guaranty, and that according to its terms the PAA Guaranty will continue in full force and effect to guaranty each Borrower’s Obligations and the other amounts described in the PAA Guaranty following execution of this Amendment. The Company, PCLPULC, Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers and Lenders each acknowledges and agrees that any and all Obligations of each of the Company and PCLPULC are secured indebtedness under, and are secured by, each and every Collateral Document with respect to the Collateral pledged thereunder by the Company and PCLPULC, respectively. The Company and PCLPULC each hereby re-pledges, re-grants and re-assigns a security interest in and lien on every asset owned thereby described as Collateral in any Collateral Document.
§ 5.3. Loan Documents. This Amendment is a Loan Document, and all provisions in the Credit Agreement pertaining to Loan Documents apply hereto.
§ 5.4. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
§ 5.5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
§ 5.6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.
