Extension Amendments (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (after giving effect to any amendments and/or waivers that are or become effective on the date of the relevant conversion), the Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that (i) all or a portion of any Class of Term Loans then outstanding selected by the Borrower (the “Original Term Loans”) and/or (ii) all or a portion of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments then outstanding selected by the Borrower (such Revolving Credit Commitments, the “Original Revolving Credit Commitments”, collectively with the Original Term Loans, an “Original Class”) be converted to extend the maturity date thereof and to provide for other terms permitted by this Section 2.23 (any portion thereof that have been so extended, the “Extended Term Loans” or “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”, as the case may be, and collectively, the “Extended Class” and the remainder not so extended, the “Non-Extended Term Loans” or “Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”, as the case may be, and collectively, the “Non-Extended Class”); provided that, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, may be designated as part of an existing Class of Loans. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Original Class, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent and any applicable Additional Arranger administering the Original Class (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each Lender who has Loans or Commitments of the Original Class) in such form as approved from time to time by the Borrower and the applicable Additional Arranger (each, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the terms of the proposed Extended Class, as applicable, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Original Class, except for Section 2.23 Additional Agreements or as otherwise permitted by this Section 2.23 and except (w) the maturity date of the Extended Class may be delayed to a date after the Maturity Date of the Original Class, (x) Extended Term Loans may have different amortization payments than the Original Term Loans; provided 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 Original Term Loans from which they were converted, (y) All-In Yield with respect to any Loans or Commitments of the Extended Class may be higher or lower than the All-In Yield with respect to any Loans or Commitments of the Original Class and (z)(A) the Extended Term Loans (i) may participate on a pro rata basis, less than pro rata basis or greater than pro rata basis in any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans (except that, unless otherwise permitted under this Agreement, such Extended Term Loans may not participate on a greater than pro rata basis as compared to any earlier maturing Class of Term Loans) and (ii) may participate on a pro rata basis, less than pro rata basis or greater than pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans, and (B) the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (i) shall provide that the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (ii) below)) of Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the associated Extended Facility Closing Date shall be made on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not more than a pro rata basis) with all other Revolving Credit Commitments then existing on the Extended Facility Closing Date and (ii) may provide that the permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to, and termination or reduction of, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the associated Extended Facility Closing Date be made on a pro rata basis, less than pro rata basis or greater than pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments. In addition to any other terms and changes required or permitted by this Section 2.23, each Extension Amendment establishing a Class of Extended Term Loans shall amend the scheduled amortization payments provided under Section 2.11 with respect to the related Non-Extended Term Loans to reduce each scheduled installment for such Non-Extended Term Loans to an aggregate amount equal to the product of (A) the original aggregate amount of such installment with respect to the Original Term Loans, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of such related Non-Extended Term Loans and (y) the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of such Original Term Loans prior to the effectiveness of such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any installment payable with respect to any individual Non-Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof without the consent of the holder of such individual Non-Extended Term Loan). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Original Term Loans or Original Revolving Credit Commitments converted into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request.
Refinancing Amendments (a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of (i) all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (i) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans) or (ii) all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans (or unused Revolving Credit Commitments) under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (ii) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Revolving Credit Loans and Other Revolving Credit Commitments), in each case, in the form of either (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments or (y) Other Revolving Credit Loans or Other Revolving Credit Commitments and, in each case, pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will be unsecured or will rank pari passu or junior (and subordinate) in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii) will have such pricing and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iii) (x) with respect to any Other Revolving Credit Loans or Other Revolving Credit Commitments, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of Loans (or unused Commitments) being refinanced and (y) with respect to any Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Loans being refinanced and (iv) will have terms and conditions (other than pricing, optional prepayment and subordination terms) that are, taken as a whole, not materially more favorable to the investors providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness than, the Refinanced Debt (except for covenants or other provisions applicable exclusively to periods commencing after the Latest Maturity Date at the time such Indebtedness is incurred); provided, further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is issued, incurred or obtained. The effectiveness of any Refinancing 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 legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.15 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $25,000,000 in the case of Other Term Loans or $10,000,000 in the case of Other Revolving Credit Loans and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless such amount represents the total outstanding amount of the Refinanced Debt. Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit, or the provision to the Borrower of Swing Line Loans, pursuant to any Other Revolving Credit Commitments established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Credit Loans, Other Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such 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. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each L/C Issuer, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments to Lenders holding extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Revolving Credit Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.
(b) This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or Section 11.01 to the contrary.
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.
Credit Agreement Amendments The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
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.
Term Loan A Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Term Loan A Lender, severally and not jointly, will make a term loan to Borrowers in the amount equal to such Term Loan A Lender’s Term Loan A Commitment Percentage of $8,500,000 (the “Term Loan A”). The Term Loan A shall be advanced on the Closing Date and shall be, with respect to principal, payable as follows, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement: on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days after the last day of each fiscal quarter (each a “True-Up Date”), commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2017 and continuing thereafter through and including the last such date occurring immediately prior to the end of the Term, Borrowers shall repay the Term Loan A in an amount equal to the greater of (x) $212,500 and (y) the Term Loan A Lenders Pro Rata Share of the lesser of (I) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the most recently ended prior fiscal quarter for which financial statements were delivered to Agents and (II) 50% of the Maximum True Up Amount (provided that Borrowers shall pay the amount set forth in the foregoing clause (x) no later than the first Business Day following the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2017 and continuing thereafter through and including the last such date occurring immediately prior to the end of the Term (it being understood and agreed that if the amount calculated pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) for each such period exceeds the amount set forth in the foregoing clause (x), the difference thereof (if any) shall be paid by Borrowers no later than the applicable True-Up Date)) followed by a final payment of all unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all unpaid fees and expenses upon expiration of the Term. The Term Loan A shall be evidenced by one or more secured promissory notes (collectively, the “Term Note”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3. Term Loan A may consist of Domestic Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as Borrowing Agent may request; and in the event that Borrowers desire to obtain or extend any portion of the Term Loan A as a LIBOR Rate Loan or to convert any portion of the Term Loan A from a Domestic Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrowing Agent shall comply with the notification requirements set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and/or (e) and the provisions of Sections 2.2(b) through (h) shall apply.
Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement Effective on (and subject to the occurrence of) the Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended in accordance with this Part II. Except as so amended, the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
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.
Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of any Class of Term Loans or any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans and/or modifying any prepayment premium or call protection in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension,” and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Credit Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined below) shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from which they were converted, it being understood that an Extension may be in the form of an increase in the amount of any outstanding Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments otherwise satisfying the criteria set forth below), so long as the following terms are satisfied:
(i) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Class of Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than three different maturity dates,
(ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Class of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer,
(iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby, and the maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall not be shorter than the maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby,
(iv) any Extended Term Loans may participate (x) on a pro rata basis, greater than pro rata or a less than pro rata basis in any voluntary repayments or prepayments hereunder and (y) on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer,
(v) if the aggregate principal amount of the Class of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, as the case may be, of such Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, 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 Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer,
(vi) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and
(vii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and no Lender shall be obligated to extend its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments unless it so agrees.
(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.05 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on the such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.05, 2.12 and 2.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.15.
(c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of the relevant L/C Issuer (if such L/C Issuer is being requested to issue letters of credit with respect to the Class of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments). All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Loan Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Loan Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.15 (and to the extent any such amendment is consistent with the terms of this Section 2.15 (as reasonably determined by the Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to such amendment, and no such consent of the Administrative Agent shall be necessary to have such amendment become effective).
(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), 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 2.15; provided that, failure to give such notice shall in no way affect the effectiveness of any amendment entered into to effectuate such Extension in accordance with this Section 2.15.
Certain Amendments Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the Company from amending, altering, eliminating or reducing any plans, benefits or programs so long as the Executive continues to receive compensation and benefits consistent with Sections 3 through 6.
