“Included Investor” means an Institutional Investor (and the approved portion of its Capital Commitments): (a)(i) that is a Rated Investor that has (or that has a Credit Provider that has) met the Applicable Requirement for an Included Investor as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent, and at the request of Borrower has been approved in writing as an Included Investor by Administrative Agent; or (ii) that is a Non-Rated Investor that does not meet the Applicable Requirement but at the request of Borrower has been designated by Administrative Agent and all Lenders (each in its sole discretion) as an Included Investor based on such Investor’s financial strength, and (b) that has delivered to Administrative Agent the information and documents, as applicable, described in Section 6.01(l) or, with respect to a Replacement Action, described in Section 9.05(d)(i), and, each as evidenced in a writing executed by Administrative Agent; provided (x) that once an Institutional Investor has been approved as an Included Investor as set forth above, such approval may not be withdrawn after the effective date except as provided below in clause (y) of this definition; and (y) that a Defaulting Investor shall no longer be an Included Investor until such time as all Exclusion Events affecting such Investor have been cured to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent as indicated by Administrative Agent’s prompt consent (not to be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed) upon notification thereof to Borrowers.
“Required Lenders” means, at any time, Lenders having a Principal Obligation and unused Commitments representing at least 50.1% of the sum of the total Principal Obligation and unused Commitments at such time; provided that in determining such percentage at any given time, all then existing Defaulting Lenders will be disregarded and excluded and the pro-rata shares of the aggregate Principal Obligation and unused Commitments of Lenders shall be redetermined for voting purposes only, to exclude the pro-rata shares of the aggregate Principal Obligation and unused Commitments of such Defaulting Lenders; provided further that, the amount of any participation in any Unreimbursed Amounts that such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund that have not been reallocated to and funded by another Lender will be deemed to be held by the Lender that is Letter of Credit Issuer in making such determination; provided further that at all times when two or more non-affiliated Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) are party to this Credit Agreement, the term “Required Lenders” shall in no event mean fewer than two non-affiliated Lenders.
2.2 The second clause (y) of Section 2.14(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro-rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Applicable Percentages hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) that Defaulting Lender.
2.3 Section 2.14(a)(iii)(A) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(A) A Defaulting Lender (x) is not entitled to receive any Unused Commitment Fee payable under Section 2.10 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower Parties will not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender unless otherwise provided for herein); and (y) is limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.12.
2.4 Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add a new paragraph (c) in appropriate alphabetical order to read as follows:
(c) On any date the credit facility is increased pursuant to any Facility Increase Request (whether pursuant to a Subsequent Lender joining the credit facility or an Increasing Lender increasing its Commitment), the Administrative Agent will reallocate the outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit hereunder (including any Loans made by any Subsequent Lender or Increasing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17) such that, after giving effect thereto, the ratio of each Lender’s (including each Subsequent Lender’s and/or each Increasing Lender’s) share of outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit to its share of Commitments is the same as that of each other Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, such reallocation may require the reallocation of Loans from a Subsequent Lender or Increasing Lender. In connection with any such reallocation of the outstanding Loans, the (i) Administrative Agent will give advance notice sufficient to comply with the applicable timing period in Section 2.04 to each Lender which is required to fund any amount or receive any partial repayment in connection therewith and (ii) applicable Lender or Lenders will fund such amounts up to their respective shares of the Loans being reallocated and the Administrative Agent shall remit to any applicable Lenders its applicable portion of such funded amount if necessary to give effect to the reallocation of such Loans.
