(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to the third sentence of Section 12.1(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of the Borrower if the respective Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Loans, to replace only the respective Loans of the respective non-consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 3.7 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed amendment, modification, supplement. waiver, discharge, termination or other change or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and repay all outstanding Loans of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s consent, in accordance with Section 4.1(b) and 4.3; provided that, unless the Revolving Commitment terminated and Loans repaid pursuant to the preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the specific consent of the Required Lenders (determined before giving effect to the proposed action) thereto shall be required; provided, further, that in any event the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Revolving Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) contemplated by the second proviso to the third sentence of Section 12.1(a).
(c) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of Administrative Agent, Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing or modification of all outstanding Term Loans of any Facility (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with one or more replacement or modified Term Facilities hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”), provided that (a) any Lender that does not consent to the amendment and that holds Refinanced Term Loans receives payment in full of the principal amount of and interest accrued on each Refinanced Term Loan made by it or is replaced as provided in Section 3.7, (b) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans unless the Required Lenders (treating the Refinanced Term Loans of any Lender that does not provide Replacement Term Loans as having been paid in full immediately prior to the amendment) shall approve such increase, (c) the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin for Eurocurrency Loans and the Applicable Base Rate Margin for Base Rate Loans for the Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than such applicable margins for the relevant Term Facility of Refinanced Term Loans unless the Required Lenders (treating the Refinanced Term Loans of any Lender that does not provide Replacement Term Loans as having been paid in full immediately prior to the amendment) shall approve such increase, (d) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such amendment and (e) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such amendment unless the Required Lenders (treating the Refinanced Term Loans of any Lender that does not provide Replacement Term Loans as having been paid in full immediately prior to the amendment) shall approve such terms.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the execution and delivery of all documentation required by Administrative Agent to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) in connection with an Additional Term Loan, this Agreement shall be deemed amended without further action by any Lender to reflect, as applicable, the new Lenders and the terms of such Additional Term Loan.
