Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender or Extending Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable, providing an Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Sections 2.16(a) or (b) above, respectively (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.07 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.07), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.05 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iv) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of the second paragraph of Section 10.01 (without the consent of the Required Lenders called for therein) and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.
Extended Term Loans (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 2.14, Lead Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of any Tranche of Term Loans (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”), be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or any portion of such Existing Term Loan Tranche (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, Lead 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 Tranche) (each, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under the relevant Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and (y) have the same terms as the Existing Term Loan Tranche 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 Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Effective Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the applicable Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); (iv) Extended Term Loans may have mandatory prepayment terms which provide for the application of proceeds from mandatory prepayment events to be made first to prepay the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans have been converted before applying any such proceeds to prepay such Extended Term Loans; (v) Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and terms which allow Term Loans under the relevant Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans have been converted to be optionally prepaid prior to the prepayment of such Extended Term Loans) as may be agreed by Lead Borrower and the Lenders thereof and (vi) such Extended Term Loans may have other terms (other than those described in the preceding clause (i) through (v)) that differ from those of the Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, taken as a whole, that are not materially more favorable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans than the provisions applicable to the Existing Term Loan Tranche or as are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any Extended Term Loans converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, an “Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that, subject to the requirements set forth above, any Extended Term Loans converted from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Tranche of Term Loans.
New Term Loans (i) Borrower may up to three times following the Closing Date, by written notice to Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of additional Term Loan Commitments (the “New Term Loan Commitments”), by an amount not in excess of $200,000,000 in the aggregate, pursuant to this Section 2.1(c), and not less than $25,000,000 individually. Each such notice shall specify (a) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which Borrower proposes that the New Term Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than one Business Day after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent and (b) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “New Term Loan Lender”) to whom Borrower proposes any portion of such New Term Loan Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that, any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Term Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Term Loan Commitment. Such New Term Loan Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date without further written consent or authorization from Lenders or the Administrative Agent; provided that, (a) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Term Loan Commitments; (b) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Series of New Term Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 shall be satisfied; (c) Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be in pro forma compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Sections 5 and 6 after giving effect to such New Term Loan Commitments and New Term Loans; (d) the New Term Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements (each, a “Joinder Agreement”) (which shall set forth, for such New Term Loan Commitments and the New Term Loans made pursuant thereto, the Applicable Margin and scheduled amortization thereof and the final maturity thereof) executed and delivered by Borrower, Administrative Agent and each New Term Loan Lender; and (e) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Any New Term Loans funded pursuant to any one Joinder Agreement shall be designated a separate series (each a “Series”) of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon and after the effectiveness of New Term Loan Commitments, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions and other applicable terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Joinder Agreement, (a) each New Term Loan Lender of such Series shall make a New Term Loan to Borrower in an amount equal to its pro rata portion of the New Term Loan Commitment being funded, and (b) each New Term Loan Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Commitment of such Series and the New Term Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto. Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly upon receipt of Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and the amount of New Term Loan Commitments of such Series. Each New Term Loan Commitment with respect to any Series shall terminate immediately and without further action upon funding of such New Term Loan. The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or permitted under this Section 2.1(c)(i) and set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement, identical to Term Loans. In any event (a) the applicable maturity date of each Series of New Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Final Maturity Date, (b) the Weighted-Average Life to Maturity of all New Term Loans of any Series shall be no shorter than the Weighted-Average Life to Maturity of the Terms Loans outstanding on the Closing Date under this Agreement and (c) with respect to any New Term Loans created hereunder, if the initial yield on such New Term Loans (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin applicable to such New Term Loans above the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate and (y) if such New Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from or on behalf of the Borrower for doing so (excluding customary arranger or commitment fees paid to the Arrangers or their affiliates), and such discount and fees are in excess of 0.50% (the amount of such discount or upfront fees, in excess of 0.50% expressed as a percentage of such New Term Loans, being referred to herein as “Upfront Fees”), the amount of such Upfront Fees divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such New Term Loans and (B) four) exceeds the Applicable Margin for any Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin (without respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans) then in effect for such Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the New Term Loans; provided that, if the lowest permissible rate applicable to such New Term Loans is higher than the lowest permissible rate applicable to other Term Loans (as a result of a “floor” or similar feature), then the difference between such lowest permissible rate and zero shall be used in calculating the Yield Differential for purposes of this clause (c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower, Guarantors and Administrative Agent may execute such amendments and/or amendments and restatements to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this subsection 2.1(c)(i), and each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect any such amendments and/or amendments and restatements to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this subsection 2.1(c)(i).
The Term Loans (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment severally and not jointly agrees to lend to the Borrower on the Restatement Effective Date, the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 1.1(a) under the heading “Term Loan Commitment” (such amount being referred to herein as such Lender’s “Term Loan Commitment”). As of the Restatement Effective Date and prior to giving effect to this Agreement, the outstanding principal amount of the “Term Loans” under the Original Credit Agreement was $51,630,000. The parties hereto agree that all of the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent not paid on the Restatement Effective Date) on the “Term Loans” under the Original Credit Agreement shall be automatically deemed to have been, and hereby is, converted into a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan A hereunder in like amount without constituting a novation, and each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment severally and not jointly, agrees, on terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to lend to the Borrower on the Restatement Effective Date the remainder of its Term Loan Commitment (which amounts, collectively with the converted portion and the Converted Term Loans, shall constitute the Term Loan A hereunder), in each case, in an aggregate amount equal to its Term Loan Commitment. Borrower hereby (x) represents, warrants, agrees, covenants and reaffirms that it has no known defense, set off, claim or counterclaim against the Agent and the Lenders as of the Restatement Effective Date with regard to its Obligations in respect of such Term Loan A and (y) reaffirms its obligation to repay such Term Loan A in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Initial Term Loans Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender holding an Initial Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make, in Dollars, in a single draw on the Closing Date, one or more term loans (each, an “Initial Term Loan”) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule A under the heading “Initial Term Loan Commitment”, as such amount may be adjusted or reduced pursuant to the terms hereof, which Initial Term Loans:
Permitted Prepayment of Term Loans Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Collateral Agent of its election to prepay the Term Loans at least thirty (30) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to the Lenders on the date of such prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) all outstanding principal of the Term Loans plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the Final Payment, (C) the Prepayment Fee, plus (D) all other Obligations that are due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.
Repayment of Term Loans and Revolving Facility Loans (a) Subject to the other clauses of this Section 2.10 and to Section 9.08(e),
Mandatory Prepayment of Term Loans (i) The Borrower shall, in accordance with Subsection 4.4(g), prepay the Term Loans to the extent required by Subsection 8.4(b) (subject to Subsection 8.4(c)), (ii) if on or after the Closing Date, Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall Incur Indebtedness for borrowed money (excluding Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Subsection 8.1 other than Specified Refinancing Term Loans), the Borrower shall, in accordance with Subsection 4.4(g), prepay the Term Loans (or, in the case of the incurrence of any Specified Refinancing Term Loans, the Tranche of Term Loans being refinanced) in a Dollar Equivalent amount equal to 100.0% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof minus the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds applied (to the extent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is required by the terms thereof) to prepay, repay or purchase Pari Passu Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with the Term Loans, in each case with such prepayment to be made on or before the fifth Business Day following notice given to each Lender of the Prepayment Date, as contemplated by Subsection 4.4(h) and (iii) the Borrower shall, in accordance with Subsection 4.4(g), prepay the Term Loans within 120 days following the last day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending on or about December 31, 2016) (each, an “ECF Payment Date”), in a Dollar Equivalent amount equal to (A) (1) 50.0% (as may be adjusted pursuant to the last proviso of this clause (iii)) of Holdings’ Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year minus (2) the sum of (x) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Term Loans (including Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Specified Refinancing Term Loans) prepaid pursuant to Subsection 4.4(a) and any prepayment of Term Loans (including Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Specified Refinancing Term Loans) pursuant to Subsection 4.4(l) (provided that such deduction for prepayments pursuant to Subsection 4.4(l) shall be limited to the actual cash amount of such prepayment) or any Pari Passu Indebtedness (including revolving loans to the extent any commitments with respect thereto are permanently reduced), in each case during such Fiscal Year and (y) the aggregate amount in respect of clause (x) from previous fiscal years to the extent the amount of such prepayment exceeded the amount of prepayments required to be made from Holdings’ Excess Cash Flow in such fiscal year, in each case, excluding prepayments funded with proceeds from the Incurrence of long-term Indebtedness (the amount described in this clause (A), the “ECF Prepayment Amount”) minus (B) the portion of such ECF Prepayment Amount applied (to the extent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is required by the terms thereof) to prepay, repay or purchase Pari Passu Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with the Term Loans; provided that such percentage in clause (1) above shall be reduced to 0% if the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year was less than 3.40:1.00. Nothing in this Subsection 4.4(e) shall limit the rights of the Agents and the Lenders set forth in Subsection 9.
Repayment of Term Loans (a) The Tranche B Term Loan of each Tranche B Term Lender shall mature in 23 consecutive quarterly installments and a final installment on the Tranche B Term Maturity Date, each of which shall be in an amount equal to such Lender’s Tranche B Term Percentage multiplied by the amount set forth below opposite such installment: Installment Principal Amount September 30, 2003 $ 150,000 December 31, 2003 $ 150,000 March 31, 2004 $ 150,000 June 30, 2004 $ 150,000 September 30, 2004 $ 150,000 December 31, 2004 $ 150,000 March 31, 2005 $ 150,000 June 30, 2005 $ 150,000 September 30, 2005 $ 150,000 December 31, 2005 $ 150,000 March 31, 2006 $ 150,000 June 30, 2006 $ 150,000 September 30, 2006 $ 150,000 December 31, 2006 $ 150,000 March 31, 2007 $ 150,000 June 30, 2007 $ 150,000 September 30, 2007 $ 150,000 December 31, 2007 $ 150,000 March 31, 2008 $ 150,000 June 30, 2008 $ 150,000 September 30, 2008 $ 14,250,000 December 31, 2008 $ 14,250,000 March 31, 2009 $ 14,250,000 Tranche B Term Maturity Date $ 14,250,000
Extension of Term Loans The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of a given Class (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be amended to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so amended, “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 Tranche) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (y) (except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, “AHYDO” payments, optional prepayments, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments, which shall be determined by the Borrower and the Extending Term Lenders and set forth in the relevant Term Loan Extension Request), be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) no more favorable to the Extending Term Lenders than those applicable to the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Term Loan Extension Request (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Maturity Date of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans)) (as reasonably determined by the Borrower), including: (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 Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that at no time shall there be Classes of Term Loans hereunder (including Refinancing Term Loans and Extended Term Loans) which have more than three different Maturity Dates; (ii) the Effective Yield, pricing, optional redemptions and prepayment and “AHYDO” payments with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, OID or otherwise) may be different from the Effective Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Maturity Date of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and (iv) Extended Term Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided that no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which all Term Loans with an earlier final stated maturity (including Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they were amended) are repaid in full, unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of such other Term Loans; provided, however, that (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Term Loan Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Maturity Date of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans), (C) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche, (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (E) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche (in which case scheduled amortization with respect thereto shall be proportionally increased). Each Term Loan Extension Series of Extended Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.16 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (or, if less, the entire principal amount of the Indebtedness being extended pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)).
