In order to establish any Extended Revolving Facility, 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 Revolving Facility) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Facility to be established which shall be substantially identical to the Existing Revolving Facility which is being converted except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled payments of principal (including the maturity date) and/or termination dates of the Extended Revolving Facility may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled payments of principal (including the maturity date) and/or termination dates of such Existing Revolving Facility to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the interest margins and commitment fees with respect to the Extended Revolving Facility may be different than the interest margins and commitment fees for the Existing Revolving Facility and upfront fees may be paid to the Extending Lenders, 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 latest final maturity or termination date of the Revolving Facility Commitments in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Facility; and (iv) no commitments in respect of such Extended Revolving Facility may be optionally reduced or terminated prior to the date on which the commitments under the Existing Revolving Facility from which they were converted are terminated unless such optional reduction or termination is accompanied by a pro rata optional reduction of the commitments under such Existing Revolving Facility. (b) Any Extended Revolving Facility converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (an “Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Facility Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Facility converted from an Existing Revolving Facility may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolving Facility. (c) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Revolving Facility are requested to respond (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans and commitments of any Existing Revolving Facility converted into an Extended Revolving Facility pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or any portion of its Loans and commitments under the Existing Revolving Facility subject to such Extension Request converted into an Extended Revolving Facility, shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Loans and commitments under the Existing Revolving Facility which it has elected to request be converted into an Extended Revolving Facility. Any Lender that does not so notify the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request shall be deemed to have elected not to convert its Loans and commitments under the Existing Revolving Facility into an Extended Revolving Facility pursuant to such Extension Request. In the event that the aggregate amount of commitments under an Existing Revolving Facility subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of commitments under an Extended Revolving Facility requested pursuant to the Extension Request, commitments subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to commitments under an Extended Revolving Facility on a pro rata basis based on the amount of commitments included in each such Extension Election. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) no Extended Revolving Facility Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (ii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to one or more Extension Requests (subject to applicable proration in the case of overparticipation) (including the extension of any Extended Revolving Facility); and (iii) any Extended Revolving Facility and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (e) Extended Revolving Facilities shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Lender providing an Extended Revolving Facility thereunder which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in paragraph (a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Extension Amendment in accordance with its terms, (i) this Agreement shall be deemed amended as set forth therein, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.08(b), and (ii) such Extension Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto. All Extended Revolving Facilities and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations under the Agreement and in connection with any Extension Amendment, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.08 of this Agreement, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall enter into such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (which shall not require any consent from any Lender) in order to ensure that the Extended Revolving Facility Commitments are provided with the benefit of the applicable Security Documents on a pari passu basis with the other Obligations.
