Exhibit 10.1
SECTION 2. INCREMENTAL TERM B LOANS
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the New Term B Lender agrees to make the Incremental Term B Loans on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, immediately after giving effect to the amendments contained in Section 1 of this Amendment, pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement. The Incremental Term B Loans shall have identical terms as the Term B Loans (including, without limitation, with respect to the interest rate, maturity date, mandatory prepayments and voluntary prepayments) and shall otherwise be subject to the provisions, including any provisions restricting the rights, or regarding the obligations, of the Loan Parties or any provisions regarding the rights of the Lenders, of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each reference to a “Term Loan”, a “Term B Loan”, “Term Loans” or “Term B Loans” in the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to include the Incremental B Term Loans and all other related terms will have correlative meanings mutatis mutandis. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Amendment to the contrary, the Incremental Term B Loans shall be considered an increase in the Term B Loans under the Credit Agreement and shall not be considered a separate tranche of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement.
The New Term B Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the most recently delivered financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 thereof and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender (including Section 10.15). Upon the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the New Term B Lender shall become a Lender under the Credit Agreement.
Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all such Incremental Term B Loans, when originally made, are Term B Loans for all purposes under the Loan Documents and are included in each Term Borrowing on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by allocating a portion of each such Incremental Term B Loan to each outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan that is a Term Loan with the same Interest Period on a pro rata basis, even though as a result thereof such Incremental Term B Loan may effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the Term Loans included in the Borrowing of which they are a part (and notwithstanding any other provision of the Credit Agreement that would prohibit such an initial Interest Period). For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph is for administrative purposes only and shall, under no circumstances, result in any additional obligations, expenses or fees for any Loan Party.
