Any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.15. If any Incremental Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Loans are not Other Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.09 required to be made after the making of such Incremental Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Loans and shall be further increased for all Lenders on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary to avoid any reduction in the amortization payments to which the Lenders were entitled before such recalculation.

This may be accomplished by requiring each outstanding Eurocurrency Eurodollar Borrowing to be converted into an ABR Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Loan, or by allocating a portion of each Incremental Loan to each outstanding Eurocurrency Eurodollar Borrowing on a pro rata basis. Any conversion of Eurocurrency Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.152.16. If any Incremental Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Eurodollar Borrowing, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.09 2.11(a)(i) required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans and shall be further increased for all Lenders on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary to avoid any reduction in the amortization payments to which the Term Lenders were entitled before such recalculation.
(e) The Incremental Loans and Incremental Loan Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.26 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents except to the extent otherwise provided in the Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement applicable thereto. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to ensure that the Liens granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Incremental Loans or any such new Incremental Loan Commitments.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Incremental Loans of any Series shall have the interest rate, participation and other fees, commitment reduction schedule (if any) and maturity date, and be subject to such conditions to effectiveness and initial credit extension, as shall be agreed upon by the respective Incremental Lenders of such Series, the Company and (other than in the case of any commitment reduction schedule or maturity date) the Administrative Agent (which agreement by the Administrative Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided that in any event (i) the Incremental Loans shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the collateral security and Guarantees provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents on an equal and ratable basis with each other Guaranteed Obligation, (ii) the maturity for Incremental Loans shall not be earlier than the Commitment Termination Date and may be later than the Commitment Termination Date to the extent so agreed by the Company and such Incremental Lenders and (iii) the weighted average-life-to-maturity for each Series of Incremental Loans shall not be shorter than the remaining Revolving Credit Availability Period. Following the acceptance by the Company of the offers made by any one or more Lenders to make any Series of Incremental Term Lenders Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (which may include any existing b), each Incremental Lender in respect of such Series of Incremental Loans severally agrees, on the terms and which must be Eligible Assignees) willing conditions of this Agreement, to provide make such Incremental Loan Commitments Loans to the Borrowers during the period from and including the date of such acceptance to and including the commitment termination date specified in their own discretion. Such notice shall set forth (i) the agreement entered into with respect to such Series in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the amount of the Incremental Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount or in each case such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice), and (iii) whether such Incremental Loan Commitments are commitments to make additional Loans or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Loans (“Other Loans”).
(b) The Borrower may seek Incremental Loan Commitments from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Incremental Term Lenders in connection therewith. The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Loan Commitment of each Incremental Term Lender. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Loans (excluding amortization, maturity, pricing, fees and rate floors) shall be identical to those of the Loans except as otherwise set forth herein. Without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (i) the final maturity date of any Other Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date, and (ii) the average life to maturity of the Other Loans shall be no shorter than the average life to maturity of the Loans.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Loan Commitment and the Incremental Loans evidenced thereby, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Loan Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.04 unless on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied.
(e) 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 all Incremental Loans (other than Other Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by requiring each outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing to be converted into an ABR Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Loan, or by allocating a portion of each Incremental Loan to each outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing on a pro rata basis. Any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.15. If any Incremental Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Loans are not Other Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.09 required to be made after the making of such Incremental Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount Lender in respect of such Series as in effect from time to time. Thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may convert Incremental Loans and shall be further increased for all Lenders on a pro rata basis to of such Series of one Type into Incremental Loans of such Series of another Type (as provided in Section 2.07) or continue Incremental Loans of such Series of one Type as Incremental Loans of such Series of the extent necessary to avoid any reduction same Type (as provided in the amortization payments to which the Lenders were entitled before such recalculationSection 2.07).
