[CONFORMED COPY]
AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT No.4 dated as of September 22, 2000 to the Credit Agreement dated
as of July 23, 1998 (as heretofore amended, the "Credit Agreement") among
LYONDELL CHEMICAL COMPANY, the LENDERS party thereto, the DOCUMENTATION AGENTS
party thereto, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ GUARANTY TRUST COMPANY OF NEW YORK, as Administrative
Agent and DLJ CAPITAL FUNDING, INC., as Syndication Agent.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Defined Terms; References. Unless otherwise specifically defined
herein, each term used herein which is defined in the Credit Agreement has the
meaning assigned to such term in the Credit Agreement. Each reference to
"hereof', "hereunder", "herein" and "hereby" and each other similar reference
and each reference to "this Agreement" and each other similar reference
contained in the Credit Agreement shall, after this Amendment becomes effective,
refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
SECTION 2. Amendment of Section 1.01.
(a) The following definition is added in alphabetical order to Section 1.01
of the Credit Agreement:
"PO-II JV" means a Future Joint Venture formed (or to be formed)
between the Borrower and one or more other Persons or their affiliates in
which the Borrower holds at the date hereof (or will hold when formed) not
less than a 50% direct or indirect equity interest, which Future Joint
Venture will construct, own and operate a propylene oxide/styrene plant in
the Netherlands.
(b) The definition of Available Cash Flow set forth in Section 1.01 of the
Credit Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"Available Cash Flow" means, for any Person for any fiscal period, the
sum of (i) the Net Income of such Person for such period plus (ii) to the
extent deducted in determining such Net Income for such period,
depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges plus (iii) any
increase (or minus any decrease) during such period in the deferred tax
liabilities of such Person plus (iv) any decrease (or minus any increase)
in the Net Working Investment of such Person between the beginning and end
of such period minus (v) the Capital Expenditures of such Person for such
period (except to the extent financed with the proceeds of Debt of such
Person) minus (vi) capital contributions to the PO- II JV made by the
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries (without duplication) in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $400,000,000 (less the aggregate amount of
capital contributions deducted from Available Cash Flow in reliance on this
sub-clause (vi) in respect of one or more prior periods).
(c) The last sentence of the definition of Excess Cash Flow set forth in
Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended to read as follows:
The calculation of Excess Cash Flow shall be adjusted, to the extent necessary,
to avoid (x) duplication of amounts of mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section
2.04(d) and (y) duplication of reductions in Excess Cash Flow on account of
capital expenditures of PO-II JV financed with capital contributions made by the
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries and deducted (but for this clause
(y)) in the determination of both Available Cash Flow and Distributable Cash
Flow.
(d) The definition of Net Cash Proceeds set forth in Section 1.01 of the
Credit Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"Net Cash Proceeds" means, with respect to any Reduction Event, an
amount equal to the cash proceeds received by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries from or in respect of such Reduction Event (including any cash
proceeds received as interest or similar income on, or other cash proceeds
of, any non-cash proceeds of any Asset Sale), less (at the option of the
Borrower) (a) any fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred by such
Person in respect of such Reduction Event, (b) if such Reduction Event is
an Asset Sale, (i) any taxes actually paid or to be payable by such Person
(as estimated by the chief financial officer or chief accounting officer of
the Borrower, giving effect to the overall tax position of the Borrower) in
respect of such Asset Sale, (ii) the amount of all Debt (other than the
Loans) secured by any assets subject to that Asset Sale and subject to
mandatory prepayment as a result of that Asset Sale, (iii) the amount of
any reserves established by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to fund
contingent liabilities payable by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
attributable to such Asset Sale (as estimated by the chief financial
officer or chief accounting officer of the Borrower), including, without
limitation, liabilities under any indemnification obligations and severance
and other employee termination costs associated with such Asset Sale, until
such time as such amounts are no longer reserved or such reserve is no
longer necessary (at which time any remaining amounts will become Net Cash
Proceeds) and (vi) up to $400,000,000 (less the aggregate amount deducted
from Net Cash Proceeds in reliance on this sub-clause (vi) in connection
with one or more prior Asset Sales) of such cash proceeds, so long as the
same are invested as capital contributions to the PO-II JV within 360 days
after the receipt thereof, or prior to or within such 360-day period the
Borrower has entered into a binding commitment to invest such cash proceeds
as capital contributions to the PO-II JV; provided that at the end of such
360-day period, any remaining amounts not so invested or subject to such
binding commitment will become Net Cash Proceeds; and provided further that
any cash proceeds subject to such a binding commitment which have not been
invested as capital contributions to the PO-II JV prior to the 180th day
following expiration of the aforementioned 360-day period will become Net
Cash Proceeds on such I80th day, and (c) if such Reduction Event is an
Equity Issuance, up to $300,000,000 of such cash proceeds so long as the
same are invested in LCR, directly or indirectly, substantially
simultaneously with the receipt thereof.
SECTION 3. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
SECTION 4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
SECTION 5. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the
first date (the "Amendment 4 Effective Date") on which the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof signed by each of the Required Lenders
and the Borrower (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed
counterpart shall not have been received, the Administrative Agent shall have
received in form satisfactory to it telegraphic, telex or other written
confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by such
party).
Promptly after the Amendment 4 Effective Date occurs, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower, the other Agents and the Lenders thereof, and
such notice shall be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be
duly executed as of the date first above written.
