MOTIVATIONS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE MERGER Sample Clauses

MOTIVATIONS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE MERGER. XXXXXX & PROM and MPI must currently face a difficult macroeconomic environment following the sudden drop in the price of oil, the lack of visibility related to their size, which limits their access to the best conditions that the financial markets have to offer and restricts their capacity for external growth in a capital-intensive industry. Their merger is part and parcel of the consolidation trend within the sector affecting independent oil and gas exploration and production companies across the market. It would give the combined entity greater financial capacity through: The merger is a strategic step in consolidation of the sector to which all independent oil exploration and production companies face. It would enable the combined entity to benefit from a reinforced financial capacity resulting from: • a combination of significant cash flows from production in Gabon and Tanzania and dividends from Seplat in Nigeria; • better access to financial markets; and • substantial cost synergies and tax savings which, for example, would have represented EUR 14.5 million for the 2014 financial year on a pro forma basis, of which EUR 12 million in tax savings and EUR 2.5 million in operating expenses corresponding to listing, structural and management costs of MPI. The merger would also enable the combined entity to benefit from an attractive combination of already developed onshore assets, offering a favourable oil (variable price)/gas (fixed price) product mix and greater geographic diversification combining (i) onshore operated assets generating substantial oil production with long-term visibility (including through Ezanga permit in Gabon held at 80%) (ii) operated assets that began producing gas on 20 August 2015 offering exposure to East African countries (Tanzania), (iii) a significant stake (21.76%) in Seplat, one of the leading indigenous operators in Nigeria with strong potential for growth, (iv) significant upside development and potential value increase in Canada and (v) exploration zones in Colombia, Myanmar and Namibia. The consolidated entity would offer investors an attractive investment vehicle in terms of liquidity and market capitalisation with an optimized balance sheet and sustainable funding, ranking it among the top-tier independent European oil exploration/production companies. In light of the above, XXXXXX & PROM and MPI have decided to proceed with the Merger. * * * ENGLISH LANGUAGE TRANSLATION FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY

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 of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they are to be modified except (i) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended to the date set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment and the amortization shall be as set forth in the Extension Amendment, (ii) (A) the Applicable Margin with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche and/or (B) additional fees (including prepayment or termination premiums) may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased Applicable Margin contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments or prepayment of Term Loans hereunder in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request, (iv) the final maturity date and the scheduled amortization applicable to the Extended Term Loans shall be set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment and the scheduled amortization of such Existing Term Loan Tranche shall be adjusted to reflect the amortization schedule (including the principal amounts payable pursuant thereto) in respect of the Term Loans under such Existing Term Loan Tranche that have been extended as Extended Term Loans as set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that the weighted average life to maturity of such Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (v) the covenants set forth in Section 6.7 may be modified in a manner acceptable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party to the applicable Extension Amendment, such modifications to become effective only after the latest maturity date of the then outstanding Term Loans in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that each Lender providing Extended Term Loans, by executing an Extension Amendment, agrees to be bound by such provisions and waives any inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 2.5(a), 2.17 or 10.5). Except as provided above, each Lender holding Extended Term Loans shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Section 2.15(a) and 2.15(b) applicable to Term Loans) and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Collateral Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Collateral Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the extension of any Term Loans, including, without limitation, the procurement of title insurance endorsements reasonably requested by and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche modified to constitute Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request.
