Ancillary Facilities (a) If any Borrower and any Ancillary Lender agree, subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 2.23, such Ancillary Lender shall be permitted to provide an Ancillary Facility on a bilateral basis to such Borrower. To the extent any Ancillary Facility exists, the following shall apply:
(i) The applicable Revolving Commitment of the Ancillary Lender shall:
(A) be deemed to be utilized by its applicable Ancillary Commitment for purposes of (1) calculating the commitment fee payable to such Ancillary Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and (2) calculating the aggregate remaining amount of Revolving Exposure of all applicable Revolving Lenders available under the Revolving Facility (it being understood the commitment fee payable pursuant Section 2.12(a) to Lenders without an Ancillary Facility shall not be modified by the existence of any Ancillary Facility and for purposes of such calculation it shall be assumed that each such Lender’s Revolving Commitments have not been reduced as a result of such Ancillary Facility) (such remaining amount, the “Remaining Revolving Exposure”) and
(B) not be deemed to be utilized by the Ancillary Commitment of the applicable Ancillary Lender for purposes of determining whether the Dollar Equivalent of such Ancillary Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeds its applicable Revolving Commitment (and therefor whether such Ancillary Lender is required to make or participate in a Loan or Letter of Credit under this Agreement).
(ii) Borrowings of the Remaining Revolving Exposure shall be made on a pro rata basis among the Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class (including the applicable Ancillary Lenders) pursuant to and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.01.
(b) To request the creation of an Ancillary Facility, any Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent not later than five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior to the first date on which such Ancillary Facility is proposed to be made available:
(i) a notice in writing specifying:
(A) the Borrower or Borrowers to which extensions of credit will be made available thereunder;
(B) the first Business Day on which such Ancillary Facility shall be made and the expiration date of such Ancillary Facility (which shall be no later than the Revolving Maturity Date);
(C) the type of Ancillary Facility being provided;
(D) the identity of the Ancillary Lender(s); and
(E) the amount and currency of the Ancillary Commitment with respect to such Ancillary Facility (which shall be expressed in any currency to which such Ancillary Lenders may agree) and shall not exceed such Ancillary Lender’s Revolving Commitment;
(ii) a copy of the Ancillary Facility Documents with respect to such Ancillary Facility, together with a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower(s) certifying that the terms of such Ancillary Facility satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section 2.23 (including any applicable definitions used herein); and
(iii) such other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with such Ancillary Facility. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to each Revolving Lender of such Ancillary Facility notice.
(i) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, an Affiliate of any Revolving Lender (other than a Disqualified Institution) may become an Ancillary Lender, in which case such Revolving Lender and such Affiliate shall be treated as a single Revolving Lender whose Revolving Commitment is as set forth in Schedule 2.01 or in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Revolving Lender assumed its Revolving Commitment.
(ii) To the extent that this Agreement or any other Loan Document imposes any obligation on any Ancillary Lender and such Ancillary Lender is an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender and not a party thereto, the relevant Revolving Lender shall ensure that such obligation is performed by such Affiliate in compliance with the terms hereof or such other Loan Document.
(iii) Each Ancillary Lender, in its capacity as such, hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent for purposes of the Loan Documents and for the avoidance of doubt agrees the Administrative Agent may rely on the applicable protections and indemnities set forth herein (including those set forth in Article IX) with respect to its role as agent under the Loan Documents for such Ancillary Lender.
(d) The terms and conditions of any Ancillary Facility shall be as agreed by the applicable Ancillary Lenders and the applicable Borrower thereunder; provided that such terms shall at all times: (i) permit extensions of credit thereunder to be made only to the applicable Borrower; (ii) provide that the Ancillary Commitment of the applicable Ancillary Lenders under such Ancillary Facility shall not exceed such Ancillary Lender’s USD Only Revolving Commitment or USD/Multicurrency Revolving Commitment, as applicable, and that, in the event and on such occasion that such Ancillary Commitment exceeds such USD Only Revolving Commitment or USD/Multicurrency Revolving Commitment, as applicable, such Ancillary Commitment shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess; (iii) provide that the Ancillary Facility Exposure shall not exceed the Ancillary Commitment with respect to such Ancillary Facility and (iv) provide that the Ancillary Commitment under such Ancillary Facility shall be canceled, and that all extensions of credit under such Ancillary Facility shall be repaid, not later than the Revolving Maturity Date unless cash collateralized or supported by the issuance of a “back to back” letter of credit in a manner meeting the requirements of clause (iv) of the definition of “Date of Full Satisfaction”.
(e) (i) Each Ancillary Facility shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date or such earlier date (A) as provided in the relevant Ancillary Facility Document or (B) on which its expiry date occurs or on which it is cancelled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Incremental Facilities (a) The Borrower may, at any time, on one or more occasions on or after the Funding Date pursuant to an Incremental Amendment (i) add one or more new Classes of term facilities and/or increase the principal amount of the Term Loans of any existing Class by requesting new commitments to provide such Term Loans (any such commitments, “Incremental Term Commitments” and any such new Class or increase, an “Incremental Term Facility” and any loan made pursuant to any Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or (ii) increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments (an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and, together with any Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Facilities”; the commitments thereunder, the “Incremental Revolving Commitments” and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans” and any Incremental Revolving Loans, together with any Incremental Term Loans, “Incremental Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Incremental Available Amount; provided that,
(i) no Incremental Facility may be in an amount that is less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount to which the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree),
(ii) except as the Borrower and any Lender may separately agree, no Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Commitment, and the determination to provide any Incremental Commitment shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender,
(iii) no Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan (nor the creation, provision or implementation thereof) shall require the approval of any existing Lender other than in its capacity, if any, as a lender providing all or part of any Incremental Commitment or Incremental Loan,
(iv) except as otherwise permitted herein the terms of any Incremental Term Facility, if not substantially consistent with those applicable to any then-existing Term Loans, must be (x) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (y) only applicable to the period after the Latest Maturity Date,
(v) each Incremental Revolving Facility shall have the same terms, other than upfront fees, as the Revolving Facility,
(vi) the final maturity date with respect to any Class of Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date,
(vii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Facility shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then-existing tranche of Term Loans (without giving effect to any prepayment thereof),
(viii) subject to clauses (vi) and (vii) above, any Incremental Term Facility may otherwise have an amortization schedule as determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility,
(ix) subject to clause (v) above, the pricing (including interest rate and fees) of any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the arrangers and/or lenders providing such Incremental Facility,
(A) each Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility shall rank (i) on a pari passu basis with or on a junior basis to the Term Loans and Revolving Loans in right of payment and (ii) on a pari passu basis with the Term Loans and Revolving Loans in right of security or shall be unsecured and (B) no Incremental Facility may be (x) guaranteed by any Person which is not a Loan Party or (y) secured by any assets other than the Collateral,
(xi) (A) subject to Section 1.12, no Default or Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Incremental Facility, and (B) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties (or, if agreed to by the lenders thereof, customary “SunGard” representations and warranties) set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of the date such Incremental Facility becomes effective with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date; provided that, to the extent that any representation and warranty specifically refers to a given date or period, it shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date or for such period;
(xii) any Incremental Term Facility shall participate (A) in any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(a) and (B) in any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(b) and (c), in each case, to the extent provided in such Sections,
(xiii) the proceeds of any Incremental Facility may be used for working capital and/or purchase price adjustments and other general corporate purposes and any other use not prohibited by this Agreement, and
(xiv) on the date of the Borrowing of any Incremental Term Loans that will be of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 2.08 or 2.13, such Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and constitute a part of, be of the same Type as and, at the election of the Borrower, have the same Interest Period as) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of such Borrowings), so that each Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Loans will participate proportionately in each then-outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of such Class; it being acknowledged that the application of this clause (a)(xiv) may result in new Incremental Term Loans having an Interest Period (the duration of which may be less than one month) that begins during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Term Benchmark Loans of the relevant Class and which ends on the last day of such Interest Period.
(b) Incremental Commitments may be provided by any existing Lender, or by any other eligible assignee (any such other lender being called an “Incremental Lender”); provided that, the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility, each Issuing Bank) shall have a right to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the relevant Incremental Lender’s provision of Incremental Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 9.04 for an assignment of Loans to such Incremental Lender, mutatis mutandis, to the same extent as if the relevant Incremental Commitments and related Obligations had been acquired by such Lender by way of assignment.
(c) Each Lender or Incremental Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower all such documentation (including the relevant Incremental Amendment) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Commitment. On the effective date of such Incremental Commitment, each Incremental Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.
(d) As conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility or the making of any Incremental Loans, (i) upon its request, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive customary written opinions of counsel, as well as such reaffirmation agreements, supplements and/or amendments as it shall reasonably require, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, from each Incremental Lender, an Administrative Questionnaire and such other documents as it shall reasonably require from such Incremental Lender, (iii) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Incremental Lenders, or the Incremental Lenders, as applicable, shall have received the amount of any fees payable to the Incremental Lenders in respect of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loans, (iv) subject to Section 2.20(h), the Administrative Agent shall have received a Borrowing Request as if the relevant Incremental Loans were subject to Section 2.03 or another written request the form of which is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being understood and agreed that the requirement to deliver a Borrowing Request shall not result in the imposition of any additional condition precedent to the availability of the relevant Incremental Loans) and (v) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive a certificate of the Borrower signed by a Financial Officer thereof (A) certifying and attaching a copy of the resolutions adopted by the governing body of the Borrower and (B) to the extent applicable, certifying that the condition set forth in clause (a)(xi) above has been satisfied.
(e) Upon the implementation of any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 2.20:
(i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lender, and each relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Revolving Lenders’ (including each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit shall be held on a pro rata basis on the basis of their respective Revolving Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.20); and
(ii) the existing Revolving Lenders shall assign Revolving Loans to certain other Revolving Lenders (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility), and such other Revolving Lenders (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility) shall purchase such Revolving Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Revolving Lenders participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.20); it being understood and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause (ii).
(f) On the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Facility, the maximum amount of LC Exposure permitted hereunder shall increase by an amount, if any, agreed upon by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank.
(g) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental Amendment and/or any amendment to any other Loan Document as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Loans or commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20, 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 or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.20 and such other amendments as are described in Section 9.02.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20 or in any other provision of any Loan Document, if the proceeds of any Incremental Facility are intended to be applied to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other similar Investment and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility so agree, the availability thereof shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality.
(i) This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provision in Section 9.02 to the contrary. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, this Agreement shall be amended as necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to effect the provisions of or be consistent with this Section 2.20. Any such amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) but without the consent of any other Lender (other than the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Facility), and furnished to the other parties hereto.
