In connection with any such Extension, the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the approval of the Extending Lenders of the applicable Extension Series, may effect such amendments (including any Additional Credit Extension Amendment) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension Offer, including any amendments necessary to establish new Classes, tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the Extended Term Loans and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes, tranches or sub-tranches (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended tranches), in each case on terms not inconsistent with this Section 2.19.with
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Term Loan is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with Section 2.19(a) (an “Extension Date”), the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Term Loans (together with any other Extended Term Loans so established on such date). If the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Extending Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans offered to be extended by the Applicable Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the applicable Class of Term Loans of such Extending Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Extending Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.
(c) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.13 and (ii) any Extension Offer is required to be in a minimum amount of $30,000,000. The Applicable Borrower may at its election specify as a condition to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Applicable Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Applicable Borrower) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes accept the applicable Extension Offer.
(d) In connection with any Extension, the Applicable Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.19.
(e) In connection with any Additional Credit Extension Amendment, the Applicable Borrower shall deliver (i) a customary opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (ii) customary reaffirmations and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Extended Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents and (iii) board resolutions and other closing certificates and documentation to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.
(f) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans of a given Extension Series to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error, then the Administrative Agent, the Applicable Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Amendment”) within 15 days following the effective date of the applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Amendment shall (i) provide for the conversion and extension of Term Loans under the Class of Existing Term Loans in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans of the applicable Extension Series into which such other Term Loans were initially converted in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Extended Term Loans to which it was entitled under the terms of such Additional Credit Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Applicable Borrower and such Lender may agree (including conditions of the type required to be satisfied for the effectiveness of an Additional Credit Extension Amendment described in Section 2.19(a)), and (iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.19(a).
(g) This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Section 11.12 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.19 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such amendment shall require any Lender to provide any Extended Term Loans without such Lender’s consent.applicable
