Increase of the Commitments (a) The Borrower may, from time to time, request by written notice to the Administrative Agent to increase the Commitments by a maximum aggregate amount for all such increases of up to $200,000,000, by designating one or more Lenders or other financial institutions (that will become Lenders), in each case, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and acceptable to the Swingline Lender and each LC Issuing Bank, in their respective sole discretion, that agree to accept all or a portion of such additional Commitments (each a “Designated Lender”).
(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Designated Lenders of the Borrower’s request pursuant to subsection (a) above. Each Designated Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent by the date specified by the Administrative Agent (which date shall be a Business Day) that either (A) such Designated Lender declines to accept its additional Commitments or (B) such Designated Lender consents to accept the offered Commitments. Any Designated Lender not responding on or prior to the date specified by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to accept the offered Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall, after receiving the notifications from all of the Designated Lenders or following the date specified in the notice to such Designated Lenders, whichever is earlier, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the results thereof and the effective date of any additional Commitments. The effectiveness of such additional Commitments shall be subject to the condition precedent that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (i) the resolutions of the Borrower authorizing such additional Commitments and all Governmental Approvals (if any) required in connection with such additional Commitments, certified as being in effect as of the effective date of such additional Commitments, (ii) a favorable opinion of counsel for the Borrower as to such matters as any Lender through the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (iii) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, dated as of the effective date of such additional Commitments, stating that all conditions precedent to an Extension of Credit have been satisfied on and as of such effective date.
(c) Promptly following the effective date of any Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.07, (i) the Administrative Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule I to this Agreement (which shall thereafter be incorporated into this Agreement) to reflect any changes in Lenders, the Commitments and each Lender’s Commitment Percentage as of such effective date and (ii) the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding Revolving Borrowings (if any) in full, and shall simultaneously make new Revolving Borrowings hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Borrowings are held ratably by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (after giving effect to such Commitment increase). Prepayments made under this clause (c) shall not be subject to the notice requirements of Section 2.14.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, from and after the date of any Commitment increase and the making of any Loans on such date pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above, all calculations and payments of fees and of interest on the Loans shall take into account the actual Commitment of each Lender and the principal amount outstanding of each Loan made by such Lender during the relevant period of time.
Term Loan Commitments Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in such principal amount as the Borrower shall request up to, but not exceeding such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.
Reduction of the Commitments (a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portion of the Commitments; provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $500,000 or in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.
(b) Other than as provided in Section 2.04(c) below, any reduction and termination of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be applied ratably to each Lender’s Commitment and shall be permanent, with no obligation of the Lenders to reinstate such Commitments.
(c) In the event of a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower, at the Borrower’s election may (with the consent of the Administrative Agent) elect to terminate such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment hereunder; provided that (i) such termination must be of the Defaulting Lender’s entire Commitment, (ii) the Borrower shall pay all amounts owed by the Borrower to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (including principal of and interest on the Advances owed to such Defaulting Lender, accrued commitment fees, and letter of credit fees but specifically excluding any amounts owing under Section 2.12 as result of such payment of Advances) and shall deposit with the Administrative Agent into the Cash Collateral Account cash collateral in the amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s ratable share of the Letter of Credit Exposure, (iii) a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment may be terminated by the Borrower under this Section 2.04(c) if and only if at such time, the Borrower has elected, or is then electing, to terminate the Commitments of all then existing Defaulting Lenders. Upon written notice to the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s election to terminate a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment pursuant to this clause (c) and the payment and deposit of amounts required to be made by the Borrower under clause (ii) above, (A) such Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes except that such Lender’s rights under Sections 2.13, 2.14, and 9.07 shall continue with respect to events and occurrences occurring before or concurrently with its ceasing to be a “Lender” hereunder, (B) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed terminated, and (C) such Defaulting Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder.
Incremental Commitments (a) The Company may from time to time notify the Administrative Agent that certain of the Lenders designated by the Company and/or that additional lenders shall be added to this Agreement as Incremental Lenders with Commitments for the purpose of increasing the existing Commitments under the Facility (a “Commitment Increase”) by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Loan Activation Notice signed by such Lenders or such additional lenders and specifying (i) the respective Incremental Commitments of such Incremental Lenders and (ii) the applicable Commitment Increase Date; provided, that after giving effect to such Commitment Increase (including the incurrence of any Incremental Loans on the applicable Commitment Increase Date and use of proceeds thereof) (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing and (y) the sum of the Total Commitments then in effect (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Incremental Commitments) shall not exceed $2 billion.
(b) Each Incremental Lender that is a signatory to an Incremental Loan Activation Notice severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make revolving credit loans (each, an “Incremental Loan”) to the Company and/or the applicable Subsidiary Borrowers from time to time on or after the Commitment Increase Date specified in such Incremental Loan Activation Notice in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time up to but not exceeding the amount of the Incremental Commitment of such Incremental Lender specified in such Incremental Loan Activation Notice, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Incremental Loan Activation Notice. Nothing in this Section 2.27 shall be construed to obligate any Lender to execute an Incremental Loan Activation Notice.
(c) On any Commitment Increase Date, in the event any Loans under the Facility are then outstanding, (i) each relevant Incremental Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine are necessary in order to cause, after giving effect to such increased Commitments and the application of such amounts to prepay Loans under the Facility of other relevant Lenders, the Loans under the Facility to be held ratably by all Lenders with Commitments in the Facility in accordance with such Commitments after giving effect to such increase, (ii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans under this Agreement and (iii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to the relevant Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.22 as a result of such prepayment.
Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of any Class of Term Loans or any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class) 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 Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans and/or modifying any prepayment premium or call protection in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension,” and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Credit Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined below) shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from which they were converted, it being understood that an Extension may be in the form of an increase in the amount of any outstanding Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments otherwise satisfying the criteria set forth below), so long as the following terms are satisfied:
(i) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Class of Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than three different maturity dates,
(ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Class of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer,
(iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby, and the maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall not be shorter than the maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby,
(iv) any Extended Term Loans may participate (x) on a pro rata basis, greater than pro rata or a less than pro rata basis in any voluntary repayments or prepayments hereunder and (y) on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer,
(v) if the aggregate principal amount of the Class of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, as the case may be, of such Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, 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 Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer,
(vi) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and
(vii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and no Lender shall be obligated to extend its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments unless it so agrees.
(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.05 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on the 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 2.05, 2.12 and 2.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.15.
(c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent 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 Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of the relevant L/C Issuer (if such L/C Issuer is being requested to issue letters of credit with respect to the Class of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments). All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Loan Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Loan Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize and direct 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 Classes in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or 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 Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.15 (and to the extent any such amendment is consistent with the terms of this Section 2.15 (as reasonably determined by the Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to such amendment, and no such consent of the Administrative Agent shall be necessary to have such amendment become effective).
(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, 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), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.15; provided that, failure to give such notice shall in no way affect the effectiveness of any amendment entered into to effectuate such Extension in accordance with this Section 2.15.
Commitment Increases (a) At any time after the Closing Date, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may request an increase of the aggregate Commitments by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount (the "Offered Increase Amount") of such proposed increase (such notice, a "Commitment Increase Notice"), provided that the first such increase shall be in an amount equal to at least $93,750,000 and the second such increase shall be in an amount equal to $187,500,000 less the amount of the first such increase. Any such Commitment Increase Notice must offer each Lender the opportunity to subscribe for its pro rata share of the increased Commitments. If any portion of the increased Commitments is not subscribed for by the Lenders, the Company may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent as to any Person that is not at such time a Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), offer to any existing Lender or to one or more additional banks or financial institutions the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of such unsubscribed portion of the increased Commitments pursuant to paragraph (b) below.
(b) Any additional bank or financial institution that the Company selects to offer participation in the increased Commitments, and that elects to become a party to this Agreement and obtain a Commitment shall execute a New Lender Supplement with the Company and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit N (a "New Lender Supplement"), whereupon such bank or financial institution (a "New Lender") shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and Schedule I shall be deemed to be amended to add the name and Commitment of such New Lender, provided that the Commitment of any such New Lender shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000.
(c) Any Lender that accepts an offer to it by the Company to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement 44 40 with the Company and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit O (a "Commitment Increase Supplement"), whereupon such Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased, and Schedule I shall be deemed to be amended to so increase the Commitment of such Lender.
(d) The effectiveness of any New Lender Supplement or Commitment Increase Supplement shall be contingent upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such corporate resolutions of the Borrowers and legal opinions of counsel to the Borrowers as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request with respect thereto, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) If any bank or financial institution becomes a New Lender pursuant to Section 2.24(b) or any Lender's Commitment is increased pursuant to Section 2.24(c), additional Revolving Credit Advances made on or after the effectiveness thereof (the "Re-Allocation Date") shall be made pro rata based on the Commitment Percentages in effect on and after such Re-Allocation Date (except to the extent that any such pro rata borrowings would result in any Lender making an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances in excess of its Commitment, in which case such excess amount will be allocated to, and made by, such new Lender and/or Lenders with such increased Commitments to the extent of, and pro rata based on, their respective Commitments), and continuations of Eurodollar Rate Advances outstanding on such Re-Allocation Date shall be effected by repayment of such Eurodollar Rate Advances on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and the making of new Eurodollar Rate Advances pro rata based on such new Commitment Percentages. In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Base Rate Advances, the Borrower shall make prepayments thereof and borrowings of Base Rate Advances so that, after giving effect thereto, the Base Rate Advances outstanding are held pro rata based on such new Commitment Percentages. In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances, such Eurodollar Rate Advances shall remain outstanding with the respective holders thereof until the expiration of their respective Interest Periods (unless the applicable Borrower elects to prepay any thereof in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement), and interest on and repayments of such Eurodollar Rate Advances will be paid thereon to the respective Lenders holding such Eurodollar Rate Advances pro rata based on the respective principal amounts thereof outstanding.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.24, (i) in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this Section 2.24 cause the aggregate Commitments to exceed $937,500,000, (ii) no increase pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall be effective without the consent of the Required Lenders and (iii) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. 45 41
(g) The Borrowers, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Notes of any Lender, if any, new Notes to the order of such Lender, if requested, in an amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender after giving effect to any increase in such Lender's Commitment.
Increase in Revolving Commitments (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request that the total Revolving Commitment be increased by an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Revolving Facility Amount at such time. Upon the receipt of such request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to each Revolving Lender. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase (which shall be in minimum increments of $500,000 and a minimum amount of $2,500,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Revolving Facility Amount) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and which, in any event, must be prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), and shall offer each Revolving Lender the opportunity to increase its Revolving Commitment by its Pro Rata Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Revolving Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 10 days after the date of the Administrative Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Revolving Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each Revolving Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Revolving Lender”) or decline to increase its Revolving Commitment (and any Revolving Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment) (each Revolving Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a Non-Increasing Revolving Lender”). In the event that, on the 10th day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph, the Increasing Revolving Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase requested by the Borrower, such Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity being called an “Augmenting Revolving Lender”), which may include any Lender, to extend Revolving Commitments or increase their existing Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided, however, that each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Borrower and each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Commitment and/or its status as a Revolving Lender hereunder, Any such increase may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by the Borrower if such Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Revolving Lenders.
(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that after giving effect to any increase pursuant to this Section 2.25, the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their new Pro Rata Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Borrower, (i) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Borrowing, (ii) by causing Non-Increasing Revolving Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans to Increasing Revolving Lenders and/or Augmenting Revolving Lenders, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment or assignment described in this paragraph (b) shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Commitments shall become effective under this Section 2.25 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied (treating the effectiveness of the increase in the Revolving Commitments as a “Credit Event” for such purposes) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, and (ii) if requested, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02.
Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments (i) Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default and subject to the conditions set forth under clause (v) below, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (A) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (1) the Aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts after adjustments resulting from reductions thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(d) and (2) the then effective Borrowing Base, and (B) such increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. At the time of sending such notice, Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each 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 Lenders).
(ii) Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Percentage Share of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.
(iii) The Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of the Lenders’ responses to the request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower may also invite additional Persons to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
(iv) If the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (such date, the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) notify Borrower of the final allocation of such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Increase Effective Date, and (ii) notify each Lender of its Revolving Credit Commitment as of the Increase Effective Date.
(v) As a condition precedent to such increase, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Obligor dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Obligor (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Obligor approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article VII and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.03(b), the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.02 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 8.01, (B) no Default or Event of Default exists, and (C) no Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred. To the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Percentage Shares of the Lenders arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section, Borrower shall prepay Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date and/or Lenders shall make assignments pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (provided, that in each case, Borrower shall pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.05).
(vi) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 4.05 or 12.04 to the contrary.
Incremental Term Loan Commitments (a) Each Borrower shall have the right, in consultation and coordination with the Administrative Agent but without requiring the consent of any of the Lenders, to request, at any time and from time to time prior to the then latest Maturity Date, that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders) provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to such Borrower and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a result of any such request, (ii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be made available to a single Incremental Term Loan Borrower and shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) the amount of each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $25,000,000, (iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 1.14 shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Term Loan Commitment Amount, (v) the up-front fees and, if applicable, any unutilized commitment fees and/or other fees payable in respect of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be separately agreed to by the respective Incremental Term Loan Borrower and each Incremental Term Loan Lender (and with all such fees to be disclosed in writing by the respective Incremental Term Loan Borrower to the Administrative Agent), (vi) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have (I) (x) an Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date of no earlier than the then latest Maturity Date as then in effect, and (y) a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity as then in effect for the Tranche of then outstanding Loans with the longest Weighted Average Life to Maturity and (II) an “interest rate” or “interest rates” applicable to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (which, for such purposes only, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the life of such Incremental Term Loans) payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, but exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Lenders providing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans) that may (at such time or from time to time thereafter) exceed the “interest rates” applicable to the Term Loans; provided that, in the event that the “interest rate” excess applicable to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall at such time be greater than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin for the Tranche B-2 Term Loans, the Tranche C-2 Term Loans and each other then existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be increased by such amounts, and for such time periods, as are needed so that at no time shall the “interest rate” for the respective new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (calculated as described above) exceed the relevant interest rates applicable to the then existing Tranches of Term Loans by more than 0.50%, (vii) the proceeds of all Incremental Term Loans shall be used only for the purposes permitted by Section 7.05(a), (viii) each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall specifically designate, with the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Tranche of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche may be a new Tranche (i.e., not the same as any existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Term Loan Commitments or other Term Loans) or an increase in a previously established Tranche), (ix) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the relevant Security Documents, and guaranteed under each relevant Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Loans of the applicable Borrower secured by each such Security Agreement and guaranteed under each such Guaranty, and (x) each Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in Section 1.01(c) and such Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents.
(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.14, the applicable Incremental Term Loan Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I (appropriately completed), with the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided therein to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which all Incremental Term Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement.
Revolving Loan Commitments (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender, severally and not jointly, shall (i) make Revolving Loans (other than Revolving LC Loans) to the Borrower during the Revolving Loan Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of such Revolving Lender’s Available Revolving Loan Commitment and (ii) participate in the issuance of any Revolving LCs (and any drawings of the Revolving LC Available Amounts thereunder) from time to time during the Revolving Loan Availability Period in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not in excess of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment.
