New Lenders Each New Lender hereby joins in, becomes a party to, and agrees to comply with and be bound by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and under each and every other Loan Document to which any Lender is required to be bound by the Credit Agreement, to the same extent as if such New Lender were an original signatory thereto. Each New Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each New Lender represents and warrants that (a) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Fourth Amendment, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, (b) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 8.01 thereof, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Fourth Amendment and to become a Lender on the basis of which it has made such analysis and decision independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and (c) from and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, it shall be a party to and be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder.
Increasing Lenders and New Lenders The Borrower may, prior to the Expiration Date, request that (1) the current Lenders (each, a “Current Lender”) increase their Revolving Credit Commitments (any Current Lender which elects to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be referred to as an “Increasing Lender”) and/or (2) one or more new lenders (each, a “New Lender”) join this Agreement and provide a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, subject to the following terms and conditions:
New Lenders—Joinder Each New Lender shall execute a lender joinder in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.11 pursuant to which such New Lender shall join and become a party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with a Revolving Credit Commitment in the amount set forth in such lender joinder.
Incremental Lenders Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Increases. Incremental Increases may be provided by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Increase) or by any other Persons (each, an “Incremental Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such Incremental Lender’s providing such Incremental Increase to the extent any such consent would be required under Section 11.5(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Incremental Lender. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Incremental Lender is requested to respond, which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the proposed Incremental Lenders (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). Each proposed Incremental Lender may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, and shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether it agrees, to provide an Incremental Increase and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than or less than requested. Any Person not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to provide an Incremental Increase.
Additional Borrowers (a) Parent may designate any wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder with respect to the Revolving Facility and/or any Incremental Revolving Commitments (and Incremental Revolving Loans) or any Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Term Loans (other than Incremental Term Loans that are not Other Term Loans); provided, however, that such wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary shall be organized under the laws of (i) the same jurisdiction under which any other Borrower is organized or (ii) otherwise, a jurisdiction that is reasonably acceptable to the (x) Administrative Agent and (y)(1) in the case of an Additional Borrower with respect to the Revolving Facility, each of the Lenders under the Revolving Facility and (2) in the case of an Additional Borrower with respect to any Incremental Term Loans that are Other Term Loans, the Incremental Term Lenders with respect to such Incremental Term Loans. Such wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary shall become an Additional Borrower and a party to this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent an Additional Borrower Joinder, and all references to the “Borrower” shall also include such Additional Borrower, as applicable, upon (a) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) copies, certified by the secretary or assistant secretary of such Additional Borrower, of resolutions of the board of directors or similar governing body of such Additional Borrower approving this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to which such Additional Borrower is becoming a party and performing the obligations thereunder and such other documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request relating to the organization and existence of such Additional Borrower; (ii) an incumbency certificate, executed by the secretary or assistant secretary of such Additional Borrower, which shall identify by name and title and bear the signature of the officers of such Additional Borrower authorized to request Borrowings hereunder and sign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Additional Borrower is becoming a party, upon which certificate the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely until informed of any change in writing by Parent or such Additional Borrower, as applicable; (iii) opinions of counsel to such Additional Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel, with respect to the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and such other customary matters as are reasonably requested by counsel to the Administrative Agent and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; (iv) at least three (3) Business Days prior to such designation, any other instruments and documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and each Lender under applicable “know-your-customer” or similar rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation; and (v) a certificate from Parent and such Additional Borrower certifying that as of the date of such joinder, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) and (b) shall be met as if a Credit Event were to occur on such date and (b) the Lenders being provided with ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice (or such shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree) of any Additional Borrower being proposed to be added pursuant to this Section 9.18(a). This Agreement may be amended as necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Parent to effect the provisions of or be consistent with this Section 9.18(a). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with Xxxxxx’s consent, but without the consent of any other Lenders and furnished to the other parties hereto.
a Treaty Lender If a New Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Clause 14.5 then such New Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Facility Agent which category applies (and the Facility Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Company). For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Certificate or assignment agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Clause 14.5.
Increasing Lenders Each Increasing Lender shall confirm its agreement to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to an acknowledgement in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, signed by it and the Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) days before the effective date of such increase.
Additional Lenders The Borrower may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, add additional Persons as Lenders. Each additional Lender and its applicable Lender Agent shall become a party hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a Joinder Supplement and a Transferee Letter.
