As of the Restatement Effective Date and prior to giving effect to this Agreement, the outstanding principal amount of the “Term Loans” under the Original Credit Agreement was $51,630,000. The parties hereto agree that all of the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent not paid on the Restatement Effective Date) on the “Term Loans” under the Original Credit Agreement shall be automatically deemed to have been, and hereby is, converted into a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan A hereunder in like amount without constituting a novation, and each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment severally and not jointly, agrees, on terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to lend to the Borrower on the Restatement Effective Date the remainder of its Term Loan Commitment (which amounts, collectively with the converted portion and the Converted Term Loans, shall constitute the Term Loan A hereunder), in each case, in an aggregate amount equal to its Term Loan Commitment. Borrower hereby (x) represents, warrants, agrees, covenants and reaffirms that it has no known defense, set off, claim or counterclaim against the Agent and the Lenders as of the Restatement Effective Date with regard to its Obligations in respect of such Term Loan A and (y) reaffirms its obligation to repay such Term Loan A in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(iv) Unless the context shall otherwise require, the term “Term Loan Commitments” shall include the Incremental Term Loan Commitments. Amounts borrowed as a Term Loan which are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
Tranche B Term Loans Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Tranche B Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a term loan (each, a “Tranche B Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Tranche B Term Loans”) to the U.S. Borrower, which Tranche B Term Loans:
(i) shall be incurred by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to a single drawing on the Restatement Effective Date for the purposes described in Section 7.05(a);

(iv) shall be made by each Lender in that initial aggregate principal amount as is equal to the Tranche B Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on the Restatement Effective Date (before giving effect to the termination thereof on such date pursuant to Section 3.03(b)). Once repaid, Tranche B Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.

Delayed Draw Term Loans Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents (including, for avoidance of doubt, satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto on the Closing Date and Exhibit E attached hereto on the applicable Delayed Draw Funding Date), the Initial Lender agrees to make delayed draw term loans to Borrower at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period (each, a “Delayed Draw Term Loan” and collectively, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”); provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Delayed Draw Term Loan Notes shall not exceed the Maximum Delayed Draw Term Loan Principal Amount. Delayed Draw Term Loans may be funded at Xxxxxxxx’s request in multiple Advances made during the Availability Period and repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each Delayed Draw Term Loan Note. Whenever Borrower desires to incur a Delayed Draw Term Loan hereunder, Borrower shall give Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) prior written notice of such Delayed Draw Term Loan to be incurred hereunder specifying the principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loan to be incurred and the date of such Advance (which shall be a Business Day). Each Delayed Draw Term Loan will be evidenced by a Delayed Draw Term Loan Note appropriately completed in accordance with the terms of the form of Delayed Draw Term Loan Note attached hereto as Exhibit G to include the applicable interest rate and required amortization payments; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Delayed Draw Term Loan Notes shall not exceed the Maximum Delayed Draw Term Loan Principal Amount. Interest on each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall accrue commencing on the Delayed Draw Funding Date for such Delayed Draw Term Loan at a per annum rate equal to the Term SOFR Rate plus 5.95%.

The obligation of Borrower to repay the Delayed Draw Term Loans, together with interest as provided in this Agreement and in each Delayed Draw Term Loan Note, shall commence upon the funding of each Delayed Draw Term Loan on the Delayed Draw Funding Date for such Delayed Draw Term Loan and shall be unconditional. Borrower hereby accepts each Delayed Draw Term Loan requested by Borrower on the Delayed Draw Funding Date for such Delayed Draw Term Loan, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans Borrowings under the Commitments established pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof shall be made and funded as follows:
Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of any Class of Term Loans or any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans and/or modifying any prepayment premium or call protection in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension,” and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Credit Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined below) shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from which they were converted, it being understood that an Extension may be in the form of an increase in the amount of any outstanding Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments otherwise satisfying the criteria set forth below), so long as the following terms are satisfied:
(i) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Class of Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than three different maturity dates,
(ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Class of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer,
(iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby, and the maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall not be shorter than the maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby,
(iv) any Extended Term Loans may participate (x) on a pro rata basis, greater than pro rata or a less than pro rata basis in any voluntary repayments or prepayments hereunder and (y) on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer,
(v) if the aggregate principal amount of the Class of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, as the case may be, of such Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer,
(vi) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and
(vii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and no Lender shall be obligated to extend its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments unless it so agrees.
(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.05 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on the such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.05, 2.12 and 2.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.15.
(c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of the relevant L/C Issuer (if such L/C Issuer is being requested to issue letters of credit with respect to the Class of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments). All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Loan Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Loan Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.15 (and to the extent any such amendment is consistent with the terms of this Section 2.15 (as reasonably determined by the Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to such amendment, and no such consent of the Administrative Agent shall be necessary to have such amendment become effective).
(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.15; provided that, failure to give such notice shall in no way affect the effectiveness of any amendment entered into to effectuate such Extension in accordance with this Section 2.15.

Subject to Section 5.7 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the portion of the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to this Section to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan. Revolving Credit Loans to be made for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders as provided in Section 2.2(b).
Agreement to Make Swingline Loans Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swingline Lender severally agrees to make Swingline Loans under each Revolving Commitment of such Swingline Lender to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $50,000,000 or any Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the amount set forth opposite the name of such Swingline Lender on Schedule IX, (ii) the sum of any Swingline Lender’s outstanding Dollar Loans, its Dollar LC Exposure and its outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding its Dollar Commitment, (iii) the sum of any Swingline Lender’s outstanding Multicurrency Loans, its Multicurrency LC Exposure and its outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding its Multicurrency Commitment, (iv) the total Revolving Dollar Credit Exposures exceeding the aggregate Dollar Commitments, (v) the total Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures exceeding the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments or (vi) the total Covered Debt Amount exceeding the Borrowing Base then in effect; provided that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan.
