Additional Loan Parties (a) Notify the Agent promptly after any Person becomes a Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary but including any Unrestricted Subsidiary being reclassified as a Restricted Subsidiary, and promptly thereafter (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days) if requested by the Agent, (i) cause any such Person to become a Co-Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, by executing and delivering to the Agent a joinder agreement to this Agreement or a counterpart of the Guaranty or such other document as the Agent shall deem reasonably appropriate for such purpose, (ii) grant a perfected Lien to the Agent on such Person’s assets on the same types of assets which constitute Collateral under the Collateral Documents to secure the Obligations, and (iii) deliver to the Agent documents of the types referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 4.3(a) and if requested by the Agent, favorable opinions of counsel to such Person (which shall cover, among other things, the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the documentation referred to in clause (a)), and (b) if any Equity Interests or Indebtedness of such Person are owned by or on behalf of any Loan Party, to pledge such Equity Interests and promissory notes evidencing such Indebtedness, in each case in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. In no event shall compliance with this Section 9.9 waive or be deemed a waiver or consent to any transaction giving rise to the need to comply with this Section 9.9 if such transaction was not otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement or constitute or be deemed to constitute, with respect to any Subsidiary, an approval of such Person as a Borrower or Guarantor.
Additional Loans Agent shall not make any Revolving Loans or provide any Letter of Credit Accommodations to any Borrower on behalf of Lenders intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations would cause the aggregate amount of the total outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations to such Borrower to exceed the Borrowing Base of such Borrower, without the prior consent of all Lenders, except, that, Agent may make such additional Revolving Loans or provide such additional Letter of Credit Accommodations on behalf of Lenders, intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations will cause the total outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations to such Borrower to exceed the Borrowing Base of such Borrower, as Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its discretion, provided, that: (a) the total principal amount of the additional Revolving Loans or additional Letter of Credit Accommodations to any Borrower which Agent may make or provide after obtaining such actual knowledge that the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans equal or exceed the Borrowing Bases of Borrowers, plus the amount of Special Agent Advances made pursuant to Section 12.11(a)(i) or (ii) hereof then outstanding, shall not exceed the aggregate amount equal to ten (10%) percent of the Maximum Credit, (b) no such additional Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit Accommodation shall be outstanding more than ninety (90) days after the date such additional Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit Accommodation is made or issued (as the case may be), except as the Required Lenders may otherwise agree and (c) the total outstanding principal amount of Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations and Special Agent Advances made pursuant to Section 12.11(a)(i) and (ii) hereof shall not exceed the Maximum Credit. Each Lender shall be obligated to pay Agent the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any such additional Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations.
Additional Lenders (a) For a period of 60 days after extension of a Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.16(a) that has resulted in a reduction of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders, the Borrower may request that one or more additional banks or other Persons (each, an "Additional Lender") become party to this Agreement as Lenders and that the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders be increased to reflect the Commitments allocated to each such Additional Lender; provided, that the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders after giving effect to such increase shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders immediately prior to such former Termination Date. Addition of an Additional Lender shall be made only with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and with the written consent of the Borrower (which consent may be granted or withheld in its absolute discretion). Each Additional Lender must be an Eligible Assignee and, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the initial Commitment of each Additional Lender shall not be less than $10,000,000.
(b) Addition of an Additional Lender shall be effected by the Additional Lender executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, a duly completed Additional Lender Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit G attached hereto. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmittal to such Additional Lender a Note in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto in the amount of the Commitment of such Additional Lender. Acceptance by the Administrative Agent of an Additional Lender is subject to the conditions that the Administrative Agent shall have received, with a counterpart for each Lender, (i) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, dated the effective date of such Additional Lender Supplement, as to the accuracy, both before and after giving effect to such proposed addition, of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.01 and as to the absence, both before and after giving effect to such proposed extension, of any Event of Default or event that with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, (ii) certified copies of all corporate and governmental approvals, if any, required to be obtained by the Borrower in connection with such proposed addition, (iii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower (who shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as to the matters set forth in Exhibit D (appropriately modified to include, in addition to the other matters set forth therein, such Additional Lender Supplement and the new Note), and such other matters as any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, may reasonably request, and (iv) such other certificates and documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all of the foregoing to be satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent. Upon execution and delivery of the Additional Lender Supplement, acceptance by the Administrative Agent and recording in the Register, from and after the effective date specified in such Additional Lender Supplement, such Additional Lender shall be a party hereto and shall, to the extent of the Commitment specified in such Additional Lender Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder.
(c) If, at the time an Additional Lender is to become party to this Agreement, the continuing Lenders have any outstanding Advances, such Additional Lender shall offer to purchase from each continuing Lender, effective as of the date such Additional Lender becomes party to this Agreement, a portion of each continuing Lender's outstanding Advances, in such amounts as will have the result that, immediately after giving effect to such Additional Lender becoming party to this Agreement and to such purchases, each Lender (including the Additional Lender) shall share in the outstanding Advances in the same proportion as their respective Commitments. The Additional Lender shall offer in writing to purchase the requisite portion of each continuing Lender's outstanding Advances, at a price equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase, and a continuing Lender shall not unreasonably decline to accept such offer. Each such purchase shall be made in accordance with Section 8.07 (with the related Assignment and Acceptance modified, mutatis mutandis, to reflect that such purchase is not a purchase of any portion of the Commitment of the continuing Lender). Such purchases shall not be subject to the provisions of clause (ii) of Section 8.07(a), and the Borrower shall be responsible for all amounts payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 8.07(a). The Borrower shall pay to each continuing Lender on demand any amount that would be payable to such continuing Lender pursuant to Section 8.04(b) (which for this purpose shall be applied as if such assignment were a prepayment of the Advances assigned by such continuing Lender), and shall reimburse each continuing Lender on demand for all reasonable fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by it in connection with such assignment.
Term Loan Advances Subject to Section 2.5(b), the principal amount outstanding under each Term Loan Advance shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to two and three quarters of one percent (2.75%) above the Prime Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.5(d) below.
Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders (a) The Borrower may, upon at least 10 days’ written notice (or such shorter period as may be permitted by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Revolving Loan Lender), propose to (i) increase either the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or (ii) establish one or more incremental term loan commitments (any such incremental term loan commitment, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) to make an incremental term loan (any such incremental term loan, an “Incremental Term Loan”), by an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (x) the greater of (1) $300,000,000 and (2) 100% of LTM Consolidated EBITDA (as of the date incurred) and (y) if either of such increase to the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or such Incremental Term Loan is incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other Investments permitted by this Agreement, any amounts (which for purposes of clarity, do not include any amounts incurred in reliance upon clause (x) and shall not be included in Indebtedness for purposes of calculating the Leverage Ratio for purpose of this clause (y)) so long as the pro forma Leverage Ratio (determined (1) after giving effect to such acquisition and assuming that such acquisition was consummated on the first day of the most recently ended period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters and (2) in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, in accordance with Section 1.7(a)) shall not be greater than 1.75 to 1 (it being understood that the increase of Aggregate Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Loan Commitments may, at the election of the Borrower, be incurred under clause (y) of this Section 2.24(a) prior to any use of clause (x) and regardless of whether there is capacity under clause (x) hereof and if both clauses (x) and (y) are available and the Borrower does not make an election, the Borrower will be deemed to have elected clause (y)) (the amount of any such increase or incremental term loan commitment (which shall be in minimum increments of $10,000,000), the “Additional Commitment Amount”).
(b) In the case of a request to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, each Revolving Loan Lender shall have the right for a period of 5 Business Days following receipt of such notice, to elect by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to increase its Revolving Commitment by a principal amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Additional Commitment Amount. No such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall increase any of the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the LC Commitment or the Swingline Commitment.
(c) In the case of a request for Incremental Term Loan Commitments, or if any Revolving Loan Lender shall not elect to increase its Revolving Commitment pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.24, the Borrower may designate another bank or other financial institution (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agrees to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Revolving Commitment or provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (an “Additional Lender”), which at the time agrees to become a party to this Agreement, if not already a Lender; provided, however, that any new bank or financial institution must be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The sum of the increases in the Revolving Commitments of the existing Lenders pursuant to this subsection (c) plus the Revolving Commitments of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Additional Commitment Amount in the case of a request to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.
(d) No Lender (or any successor thereto) shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Commitment or its other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment, and any decision by a Lender to increase its Revolving Commitment or provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender.
(e) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or the establishment of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a supplement or joinder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent executed by the Borrower and by each Additional Lender and by each other Revolving Loan Lender whose Revolving Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new Revolving Commitments or the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, and, to the extent requested by such Additional Lender or such other Revolving Loan Lender whose Revolving Commitment is to be increased, Revolving Notes evidencing such increase in the Revolving Commitment or promissory notes evidencing the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, and such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower and the Guarantors with respect to the increase in the Revolving Commitments or the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower and the Guarantors with respect to the increase in the Revolving Commitments or the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and, in the case of the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, an amendment to this Agreement as mutually agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders or such other Lenders, in each case who are providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitment; provided that (i) the terms and conditions applicable to Incremental Term Loans may be materially different from those of the Revolving Loans to the extent such differences are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the interest rates, maturity, mandatory prepayment provisions and amortization schedule applicable to such Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders holding the Incremental Term Loan Commitments. In connection with the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything in Section 10.2 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Additional Lenders or existing Lenders participating in the Additional Commitment Amount, as applicable, may enter into such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate (in the Administrative Agent’s judgment) to incorporate the terms of Additional Commitment Amount into the terms of this Agreement, and to provide the Additional Lenders with the benefits of this Agreement that are available to the other Lenders in the same Class as such Additional Lenders.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3.2, an increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or the establishment of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall be subject to, at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such proposed increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or establishment of Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the use of the proceeds thereof, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and all representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties that are expressly qualified by a Material Adverse Effect or other materiality, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on such date, except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as of such earlier date; provided that, solely with respect to the establishment of Incremental Term Loan Commitments entered into in connection with the financing of a Limited Condition Acquisition, the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitments may agree to a “funds certain provision” that:
(ii) does not impose as a condition to funding thereof that no Default or Event of Default (other than any Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j)) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated, in which event the condition to funding thereof shall instead be that (x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Limited Condition Acquisition Test Date with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and (y) no Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated; and
(iii) provides that the only representations and warranties the making of which shall be a condition to funding thereof shall be (x) certain “specified representations” agreed to by the Lenders providing such Commitments and (y) the representations and warranties made by or with respect to the applicable target in the Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement that are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that the Borrower (or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) has the right to terminate the Borrower’s (or such Restricted Subsidiary’s) obligations under such Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement or to decline to consummate the transactions contemplated by such Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement as a result of a breach of such representations or warranties in such Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement (or the failure of such representations or warranties to be true and correct or to satisfy the closing conditions in such Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement applicable to such representations or warranties).
(f) Upon the acceptance of any such agreement by the Administrative Agent, the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount shall automatically be increased by the amount of the Revolving Commitments added through such agreement and Schedule II shall automatically be deemed amended to reflect the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Commitments of all Lenders after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Commitments.
(g) Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24 that is not pro rata among all Revolving Loan Lenders, (x) within five Business Days, in the case of any Base Rate Loans then outstanding, and at the end of the then current month with respect thereto, in the case of any Index Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Sterling then outstanding, and at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, in the case of any Eurocurrency Loans not denominated in Sterling then outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay such Loans in their entirety and, to the extent the Borrower elects to do so and subject to the conditions specified in Article 3, the Borrower shall reborrow the Revolving Loans from the Revolving Loan Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such increase, until such time as all outstanding Revolving Loans are held by the Revolving Loan Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase); provided that with respect to this subclause (x), (A) the prepayment to, and borrowing from, any existing Lender shall be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Lender will be subsequently borrowed from such Lender and (B) the existing Revolving Loan Lenders, as applicable, and the Additional Lenders shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans of such Lenders are held ratably by the Lenders of such Class in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Class of such Lenders (after giving effect to such Additional Commitment Amount), and (y) effective upon such increase, the amount of the participations held by each Revolving Loan Lender in each Letter of Credit then outstanding shall be adjusted automatically such that, after giving effect to such adjustments, the Lenders shall hold participations in each such Letter of Credit in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments.
(h) The Additional Lenders or existing Lenders providing an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be included in any determination of the Required Lenders and such Lenders will not constitute a separate voting class for any purposes under this Agreement. Any Incremental Term Loans 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 Loans Documents, except that such Incremental Term Loans may be subordinated in right of payment, the Liens securing such Incremental Term Loans may be subordinated or such Incremental Term Loans may be unsecured, in each case, to the extent set forth in an amendment to this Agreement as mutually agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders or such other Lenders, in each case who are providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitment.
Term Loan Notes If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Company 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 Company's receipt of such notice) a Term Loan Note or Notes to evidence such Lender's Term Loan.
Term Loan B (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Term Loan B Lender severally agrees to make an advance of its Pro Rata Term B Share of the Term Loan B to the Borrower on the Closing Date, and from the Closing Date to the Term Loan B Maturity Date, Convert and Continue Segments from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof. The principal amount of each Segment of the Term Loan B outstanding hereunder from time to time shall bear interest and the Term Loan B shall be repayable as herein provided. No amount of the Term Loan B repaid or prepaid by the Borrower may be reborrowed hereunder, and no subsequent advance under the Term Loan B Facility shall be allowed after the initial such advance of the Term Loan B on the Closing Date. Segments of the Term Loan B may be Base Rate Segments or Eurodollar Rate Segments at the Borrower’s election, as provided herein.
(b) Not later than 1:00 P.M. New York time, on the Closing Date, each Term Loan B Lender shall, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, make the amount of its Pro Rata Term B Share of the Term Loan B available by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent. Such wire transfer shall be directed to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and shall be in the form of same day funds in Dollars. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the satisfaction of all applicable conditions in Sections 5.01 and 5.02, be made available to the Borrower by delivery of the proceeds thereof as shall be directed by the Responsible Officer of the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The initial Borrowing of the Term Loan B may be a Eurodollar Rate Segment, a Base Rate Segment, or both; provided that (i) nothwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.03 or otherwise, any Eurodollar Rate Segment to be a portion of the initial Borrowing of the Term Loan B, and each Conversion to or Continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Segment made during the period of fourteen days after the Closing Date, may only be for a period beginning on the date such Eurodollar Rate Segment is initially advanced, or on the date any Segment is Continued as or Converted into a Eurodollar Rate Segment, and ending on the date that is one week thereafter, and (ii) if the Borrower desires that any portion of the initial Borrowing of the Term Loan B is advanced as a Eurodollar Rate Segment, the Administrative Agent shall make such Borrowing as a Eurodollar Rate Segment only if, not later than three Business Days prior to the date that is then anticipated to be the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent has received from the Borrower a Term Loan Interest Rate Selection Notice with respect thereto, together with the Borrower’s written acknowledgement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the provisions of Section 4.05 hereof shall apply to any failure by the Borrower to borrow on the date set forth in such Term Loan Interest Rate Selection notice any or all of the amounts specified in such Term Loan Interest Rate Selection Notice.
Term Loan Commitment As to each Term Loan Lender, the amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans from time to time outstanding to the Borrower.
Revolving Loan Notes The Revolving Loans made by the Lenders to a Borrower shall be evidenced, upon request by any Lender, by a promissory note of such Borrower payable to each Lender in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.7(a) hereto (the “Revolving Loan Notes”) and in a principal amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Loan Commitment as originally in effect.
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.
