Term Loan Notes If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Term Loan Note or Term Loan Notes to evidence such Lender’s Term Loans to such Borrower.

Tranche B Term Loans Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Tranche B Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a term loan (each, a “Tranche B Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Tranche B Term Loans”) to the U.S. Borrower, which Tranche B Term Loans:
(i) shall be incurred by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to a single drawing on the Restatement Effective Date for the purposes described in Section 7.05(a);
(ii) shall be denominated in Dollars;
(iii) except as hereafter provided, shall, at the option of the U.S. Borrower, be incurred and maintained as one or more Borrowings of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans; provided (A) except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 1.10(b), all Tranche B Term Loans made as part of the same Borrowing shall at all times consist of Tranche B Term Loans of the same Type and (B) unless the Administrative Agent has determined that the Syndication Date has occurred (at which time this clause (B) shall no longer be applicable), no more than four Borrowings of Tranche B Term Loans to be maintained as Eurodollar Loans may be incurred prior to the 30th day after the Restatement Effective Date (or, if later, the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the fourth Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans referred to below), each of which Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans may only have an Interest Period of one week, and the first of which Borrowings may be made no earlier than the third Business Day, and no later than the fifth Business Day, after the Restatement Effective Date, the second of which Borrowings may only be made on the last day of the Interest Period of the first such Borrowing, the third of which Borrowings may only be made on the last day of the Interest Period of the second such Borrowing and the fourth of which Borrowings may only be made on the last day of the Interest Period of the third such Borrowing; and
(iv) shall be made by each Lender in that initial aggregate principal amount as is equal to the Tranche B Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on the Restatement Effective Date (before giving effect to the termination thereof on such date pursuant to Section 3.03(b)). Once repaid, Tranche B Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.
Extended Term Loans (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans under any Facility (an “Existing Term Loan Facility”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, 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 Term Loan Facility) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established which shall be identical to the Class of Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted except that:
(i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Class of Term Loans being converted to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment;
(ii) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than the interest margins for the Class of Term Loans being converted and upfront fees may be paid to the Extending Term Lenders, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment;
(iii) the Term Loan Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the latest final maturity of all Classes of Term Loans and Revolving Commitments in effect on the effective date of the Term Loan Extension Amendment immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans; and
(iv) no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the Term Loans under the Class from which they were converted are repaid in full unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of the Term Loans under such Class that were not converted. Any Extended Term Loans converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a Class of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans converted may, to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Extended Term Loans.
(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request to all Lenders of such Class that is subject to the Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under such Class being converted are requested to respond. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of such class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender (an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under such Class being converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans of such Class which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements reasonably imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans under such Class being converted exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election.
(c) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (a “Term Loan Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender providing an Extended Term Loan 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 Term Loan Extension Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto. In connection with any Term Loan Extension Amendment, the Loan Parties and the Collateral Agent shall enter into such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (which shall not require any consent from any Lender) in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Collateral Documents and shall deliver such other documents, certificates and opinions of counsel in connection therewith as may be requested by the Collateral Agent.
(d) This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 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.
Additional Term Loans Subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions expressly set forth in Section 4 of the Eleventh Amendment, each 2014-1 Additional Term Lender agrees to make a loan in Dollars (the “2014-1 Additional Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date in the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s 2014-1 Additional Term Commitment. No amount of a 2014-1 Additional Term Loan which is repaid or prepaid by the Borrower may be reborrowed hereunder. The 2014-1 Additional Term Loans shall be denominated in Dollars, shall be maintained as and/or converted into Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans or a combination thereof, provided, that all 2014-1 Additional Term Loans made by the 2014-1 Additional Term Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of 2014-1 Additional Term Loans of the same Type. The proceeds of the 2014-1 Additional Term Loans made on the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date shall be placed into escrow with the Eleventh Amendment Escrow Agent on the terms set forth in the Eleventh Amendment Escrow Agreement.
