No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche amended into Extended Term Loans or any of its Revolving Commitments amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender holding a Loan under an Existing Term Loan Tranche (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans and any Revolving Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, in respect of which applicable Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election.

The Parent may, at its election, specify as a condition to consummating any Extension Amendment that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in the Parent’s sole discretion and as may be waived by the Parent) of Term Loans, Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.5 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension Election (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.5), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.5 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iv) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of Section 10.1 (but without the consent of any Lenders called for therein) and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.26, and the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.
(e) No extension of Loans pursuant to any Extension Election in accordance with this Section 2.26 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.
(f) This Section 2.26 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.19 or 10.1 to the contrary.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.3 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension Election (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.3), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.3 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iv) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of Section 10.1 (without the consent of the Required Lenders called for therein) and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.

(II) The Company may at any time and from time to time by time, in its sole discretion, request that all or a portion of the Borrower Revolving Commitments or commitments in respect of an Incremental Revolving Facility (“Incremental Revolving Commitments”) of a given Class (or series or tranche thereof) (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the maturity date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments (any such Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.24. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, the Company shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under any Facility holding the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request” and together with a Term Loans or Loan Extension Request, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) be identical to the Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche from which such Extended Revolving Commitments are to be amended, except that: (i) the maturity date of the Extended Revolving Commitments may be delayed to a later date than the maturity date of the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the All-in Yield with a like maturity daterespect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, commitment fees, OID or otherwise) may be different than the All-in Yield for extensions of credit under the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolver 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 Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment; and (iv) all borrowings under the applicable Revolving Commitments (i.e., the Existing Revolver Tranche and the Extended Revolving Commitments of the applicable Revolver Extension Series) and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate Term Loans or Revolving Commitments with a like maturity date) 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 Loan or Revolving Commitment and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans or Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing or decreasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings)) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans or Revolving Commitments not so extended, being a “tranche”; any Extended Credits shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments from the tranche of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity and related provisions including call protection (which shall be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loan or Revolving Commitment of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loan or Revolving Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Credit”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Term Loan or Revolving Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Term Loan or Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) from which they were converted; provided that (1) in the event that the interest rate margins for the Loans made pursuant to any Extended Credit (each, an “Extended Loan”) having a maturity within twelve months of the maturity date of the Term Loan or Revolving Commitment being extended is higher than the interest rate margins for the Loans that are being extended, then the interest rate margining for the Loans that are not being extended shall be increased to the extent necessary so that such interest rate margins are equal to the interest rate margins of such Extended Loans incurred pursuant to such Extension (provided that, in determining the interest rate margins applicable to the Extended Loans or the Loans, (x) OID or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID, with OID being equated to interest rates in a manner determined by the Administrative Agent based on a four-year maturity) paid to all Lenders in respect of the Extended Loans or the Loans, as applicable, shall be included, and (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) in connection with such Extension shall be excluded), (2) in the case of Extensions of Revolving Commitments (“Extended Commitments”, the borrowing and repayment (except for (AI) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), ) and (BII) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to Extended Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments); provided, (3) in the case of Extended Commitmentsfurther, the repayment of Loans with respect to, and termination of, Extended Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such tranche on a greater than a pro rata basis as compared to any other tranche with a later maturity date than such tranche and (4) assignments and participations of Extended Credits and the related outstandings shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and (5) at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended Commitments and any original Revolving Commitments) which have more than three different maturity dates, (iii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (and the related outstandings) of such Lenders 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 Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (iv) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall be less than the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Borrower may require each Lender that does not accept such Extension Offer to assign pursuant to Section 10.6 its pro rata share of the outstanding Loans, Revolving Commitments and/or participations in Letters of Credit (as applicable) offered to be extended pursuant to such Extension Offer to one or more assignees which have agreed to such assignment and to extend the applicable maturity date; provided that (1) each Lender that does not respond affirmatively within thirty (30) days of the date the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders shall be deemed not to have accepted such Extension Offer, (2) each assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (3) the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 10.6(b) shall be paid by the Borrower or such assignee and (4) the assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the rights under Section 10.5 for any period prior to the effectiveness of such assignment, (v) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (vi) foregoing. Any Extended Revolving Commitments amended pursuant to any applicable Minimum Revolver Extension Condition Request shall be satisfied unless waived by designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series” (and together with a Term Loan Extension Series, any “Extension Series”)) of Extended Revolving Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the Borrowerextent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Commitments incurred under this Section 2.24 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as to which the Administrative Agent may agree).
(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.10 or Section 2.11 and (ii) each Extension Offer shall specify the minimum amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments to be tendered, which shall be a minimum amount approved by the Administrative Agent (a “Minimum Extension Condition”); provided that the Borrower may waive the Minimum Extension Condition. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Commitments on 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 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.17 and 10.7) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.
(c) The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. No consent of any Lender 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 Revolving Commitments or Term Loans (or a portion thereof) (or, in the case of an Extension pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 2.26(a), the consent of the assignee agreeing to the assignment of one or more Revolving Commitments or Term Loans, the Revolving Loans or Term Loans and/or participations in Letters of Credit) and (B) in the case of Extended Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All Extended Commitments 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 applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize 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 tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Commitments and 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 tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section. In addition, if so provided in such amendment and with the consent of the Issuing Lenders, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Termination Date with respect to Revolving Commitments not so extended shall be re-allocated from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to Lenders holding Revolving Commitments extended pursuant to such amendment in accordance with the terms of such amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Revolving Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.
(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent applicable Extension Request at least five three (53) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereofto the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, are requested to respond, 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)procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this SectionSection 2.24. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche amended into Extended Term Loans or any of its Revolving Commitments amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender holding a Loan under an Existing Term Loan Tranche (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans and any Revolving Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, in respect of which applicable Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election.
(c) Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender or Extending Revolving Lender, as applicable, providing an Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Commitment, as applicable, thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.24(a) above, respectively (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.3 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Company may, at its election, specify as a condition to consummating any Extension Amendment that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in the Company’s sole discretion and as may be waived by the Company) of Term Loans, Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.3 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension Election (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.3), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.3 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iv) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of Section 10.1 (without the consent of the Required Lenders called for therein) and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.
(d) No extension of Loans pursuant to any Extension Election in accordance with this Section 2.24 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.
(e) This Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.17(d) or 10.1 to the contrary.
