Extension of Term Loans The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of a given Class (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be amended to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so amended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (y) (except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, “AHYDO” payments, optional prepayments, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments, which shall be determined by the Borrower and the Extending Term Lenders and set forth in the relevant Term Loan Extension Request), be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) no more favorable to the Extending Term Lenders than those applicable to the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Term Loan Extension Request (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Maturity Date of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans)) (as reasonably determined by the Borrower), including: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that at no time shall there be Classes of Term Loans hereunder (including Refinancing Term Loans and Extended Term Loans) which have more than three different Maturity Dates; (ii) the Effective Yield, pricing, optional redemptions and prepayment and “AHYDO” payments with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, OID or otherwise) may be different from the Effective Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Maturity Date of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and (iv) Extended Term Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided that no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which all Term Loans with an earlier final stated maturity (including Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they were amended) are repaid in full, unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of such other Term Loans; provided, however, that (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Term Loan Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Maturity Date of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans), (C) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche, (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (E) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche (in which case scheduled amortization with respect thereto shall be proportionally increased). Each Term Loan Extension Series of Extended Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.16 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (or, if less, the entire principal amount of the Indebtedness being extended pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)).
The Term Loans (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment severally and not jointly agrees to lend to the Borrower on the Restatement Effective Date, the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 1.1(a) under the heading “Term Loan Commitment” (such amount being referred to herein as such Lender’s “Term Loan Commitment”). 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.
