THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO EQUIPMENT LEASE AGREEMENT is made as
of the 15th day of October, 1995 (the "First Amendment") to that certain
Equipment Lease Agreement dated as of October 15, 1993 (the Equipment Lease
Agreement together with all exhibits and schedules thereto, the "Original
Agreement") (the Original Agreement, as amended by this First Amendment,
together with all extensions, substitutions, replacements, restatements and
other amendments or modifications thereof or thereto, the "Agreement") by and
between PNC LEASING CORP, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the "Lessor") and FIRST BRANDS CORPORATION, a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware
("FBC").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Lessor and FBC desire to amend the Original
Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
AMENDMENTS TO ORIGINAL AGREEMENT
FIRST: Subsection 1.4(a) of the Original Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
1.4 Rent.
(a) Base Rent. FBC hereby agrees to pay in arrears, on each Payment
Date during the Base Term, Base Rent to Lessor for the Items. "Base
Rent" shall mean, as to any Payment Date during the Base Term, the sum
of (i) the product of (A) Lessor's Cost for each Item then subject to
this Agreement, and (B) the percentage listed in Column 1 of Schedule
1.4(a) hereto with respect to such Payment Date, and (ii) the product
of (A) Lessor's Cost for each Item then subject to this Agreement, (B)
the percentage listed in Column 2 of Schedule 1.4(a) hereto with
respect to such Payment Date, and (C) the fraction, the numerator of
which is the
Base Term Percentage Rental Factor plus the LIBO Rate, and the
denominator of which is 4. "Base Term Percentage Rental Factor" shall
mean with respect to any payment of Base Rent a percentage determined
as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P RATING THEN BASE TERM PERCENTAGE
IN EFFECT RENTAL FACTOR
-------------------------------------------------------------------
BB+ or less .80%
-------------------------------------------------------------------
BBB- .75%
-------------------------------------------------------------------
BBB .65%
-------------------------------------------------------------------
BBB+ .60%
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A- or higher .55%
-------------------------------------------------------------------
For the purposes of this Subsection 1.4(a), the term "S&P Rating" shall
mean an actual or implied senior debt rating obtained by FBC from
Standard & Poor's, a division of XxXxxx-Xxxx, Inc. ("S&P"). In the
event that, for any reason, an S&P rating is unavailable or cannot be
determined for FBC, then, in Lessor's determination and discretion,
either (i) the equivalent actual or implied senior debt rating obtained
by FBC from Xxxxx'x Investor Service ("Moody's"), or a similar
nationally-recognized rating service, shall be substituted for the "S&P
Rating" to be used in determining the Base Term Percentage Rental
Factor, or (ii) if no such equivalent rating is available or can be
determined, then the Base Term Percentage Rental Factor shall be equal
to the latest Base Term Percentage Rental Factor then in effect.
FBC shall pay any Taxes which arise in connection with any Rent payment
to the extent it would have an indemnity obligation under Section 2.2
for such Taxes and subject to any contest rights FBC has under Sections
2.2 and 2.6 hereof.
SECOND: Section 4.6 of the Original Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
4.6 Option to Renew.
(a) Option and Exercise; Term. Upon the scheduled expiration of any Term
hereunder, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, FBC shall have the option (each, a "Renewal Option") to
extend for a period of one (1) year the term of this Agreement with
respect to all (but not less than all) of the then remaining Items
(each such period, an "Extended Term"); provided, however, that no
more than three (3) Extended Terms may be elected by FBC hereunder.
Each
-2-
Extended Term shall commence on October 16 of the year of such
election and continue until October 15 of the following year. In the
event FBC desires to extend the term of this Agreement, FBC shall
provide written notice (the "Extension Notice") to Lessor not less
than 90 days prior to the expiration of the Base Term or Extended Term
then in effect; provided, in the event Lessor or the Participants
existing on the Closing Date and remaining at such time (in their
reasonable opinion) determine that FBC's financial condition has
changed in a materially adverse manner from the date of this
Agreement, Lessor or such Participants may, by written notice within
15 days after its receipt of the Extension Notice, prevent FBC's
exercise of the Renewal Option; provided, FBC may, during the 30 day
period commencing upon its receipt of such notice preventing its
exercise of the Renewal Option, exercise one of the options set forth
in Section 4.1.
(b) Extended Term Rent. If FBC elects to exercise its option to extend the
term of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.6(a) above, FBC agrees to
pay in arrears, on each Payment Date during the Extended Term,
Extended Term Rent to Lessor for each Item. "Extended Term Rent" shall
mean, as to any Payment Date during the Extended Term, the sum of (i)
the product of (A) Lessor's Cost for each Item then subject to this
Agreement, and (B) the percentage listed in Column 1 of the Extension
Schedule hereto with respect to such Payment Date, and (ii) the
product of (A) Lessor's Cost for each Item then subject to this
Agreement, (B) the percentage listed in Column 2 of the Extension
Schedule hereto with respect to such payment Date, and (C) the
fraction, the numerator of which is the Base Term Percentage Rental
Factor plus the LIBO Rate, and the denominator of which is 4. "Base
Term Percentage Rental Factor" shall have the meaning ascribed to such
term in Subsection 1.4(a) above.
(c) Other Provisions. All other provisions of this Agreement shall be and
remain in effect during the Extended Term.
THIRD: Schedule 1.4a of the Original Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as shown on Schedule 1.4a attached
hereto and made a part hereof.
