SECTION 2.2.7. Section 2.20 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:
SECTION 2.20. Increase in Commitments. (a) At any time after the date
on which all Term A Advances have been paid in full, all Revolving-1 Advances have
been paid in full and the commitment to make additional Revolving-1 Advances has
expired or been terminated, the Borrower may by written notice to the Agent (which
shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) request at any time or from
time to time that the total Revolving-2 Advance Commitments, Term B-2 Commitments
and/or Term B-3
Commitments be increased or that one or more new term facilities (each referred
to as an “Incremental Term Facility”) be
9
instituted under this Agreement;
provided, that (i) the Borrower shall offer each Lender the opportunity to
increase its applicable Commitment by its Percentage of the proposed increased
amount, and (ii) each Lender in its sole discretion may either (A) agree to increase
its applicable Commitment (in the case of an existing Commitment) by all or a
portion of the offered amount or provide Advances for any Incremental Term Facility
or (B) decline to increase its applicable Commitment. Any such notice shall set
forth the amount of the requested increase in the total Commitments or proposed
principal amount of any Incremental Term Facility and the date on which such
increase or new Commitment is requested to become effective. In the event that the
Lenders shall have agreed to increase their applicable Commitments or provide new
Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase in the total Commitments
requested by the Borrower, the Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other
financial institutions (any such bank or other financial institution being called an
“Augmenting Lender”), which may include any Lender, to extend Commitments or
increase its existing Commitment in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed
amount; provided, that each Augmenting Lender, if not already a Lender
hereunder, shall be an Eligible Assignee and subject to the approval of the Agent
and, in the case of an increase in the Revolving-2 Advance Commitments, each LC Bank
(which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Swingline
Lender. Any such additional term Advances made under an Incremental Term Facility
shall be deemed an “Incremental Term Advance,” any such commitment to make
Incremental Term Advances shall be deemed an “Incremental Term Advance
Commitment” and the aggregate amount thereof agreed to be provided by the
applicable Lenders or Augmenting Lenders shall be an “Incremental Term Advance
Commitment Amount”, and the Agent and the Borrower are hereby authorized and
directed to make all changes necessary to the Loan Documents in order to reflect the
inclusion of the Incremental Term Advances and Incremental Term Facility in such
Loan Documents, including the modification of the definitions, insertion of
amortization schedules, the inclusion of the agreed upon pricing and tenor and
sharing of payments. Furthermore, as of the effective date of any increases to the
Term B-2 Advance Commitment or Term B-3 Advance Commitment, all references in this
Agreement to Term B-2 Advances and Term B-3 Advances shall be deemed to also refer
to such increased amounts, as appropriate. Any such additional Revolving-2 Advance
Commitments shall be deemed an “Incremental Revolving Commitment” and the
aggregate amount thereof agreed to be provided by the applicable Lenders or
Augmenting Lenders shall be the “Incremental Revolving Advance Commitment
Amount.” As of the effective date of the Incremental Revolving Commitments, all
references in this Agreement to Revolving-2 Advances shall be deemed to also refer
to Incremental Revolving Advances, as appropriate.
(b) Increases to existing, and the providing of new Commitments (each, a
“Commitment Increase”) created pursuant to this Section, shall become
effective upon the execution and delivery by the Borrower, the Agent and any Lenders
(including any Augmenting Lenders) agreeing to increase their existing
Commitments or extend new Commitments, as the case may be, of an agreement
10
providing for such increased or additional Commitments (a “Commitment Increase
Agreement”), subject to the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in such
agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the total Commitments (or
in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this clause
(b) unless (i) on the date of such increase, unless otherwise agreed by the
Lenders providing such Commitment Increase, the conditions set forth in Section 3.03
shall be satisfied (as though a Borrowing were being made on such date) and the
Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed
by any Executive Officer of the Borrower and the Borrower’s Secretary or any
Assistant Secretary, (ii) the Agent shall have received (to the extent requested by
the Agent reasonably in advance of such date) legal opinions, board resolutions and
other closing certificates and documentation that are required by the Commitment
Increase Agreement and are consistent with those delivered under Section 3.01 and
(iii) the Agent shall have received a certificate dated such date and executed by
the Borrower’s Financial Officer demonstrating pro forma compliance with the
financial covenants set forth in Sections 5.02(e) and 5.02(f) after giving effect to
the incurrence of the Commitment Increase for the most recently ended four Fiscal
Quarter period as if the Commitment Increase had been incurred at the beginning of
such period.
(c) If and to the extent that any Lenders and/or other Augmenting Lenders
agree, in their sole discretion, to provide any such additional Commitments (i) in
the case of any Incremental Term Advance Commitment (A) such Incremental Term
Advances will not (1) mature prior to Term B-3 Commitment Termination Date or (2)
have an average weighted life to maturity at the time of incurrence that is less
than the average weighted life to maturity of the Term B-2 Advances or Term B-3
Advances and (B) upon the making of any Incremental Term Advances pursuant to such
Incremental Term Advance Commitment, the Agent will amend the amortization schedule
set forth in Schedule VI to include an amortization schedule for such Incremental
Term Advances or reflect any increase in an existing Term Facility to give effect to
an increase in the principal amount of the Term B-2 Advances or Term B-3 Advances,
(ii) in the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitment (A) the Percentages of the
respective Lenders in respect of Revolving-2 Advances shall be proportionally
adjusted (provided, however, that the amount equal to the adjusted Percentage of a
Lender in respect of Revolving-2 Advances multiplied by the aggregate amount of
Revolving-2 Advance Commitments as increased by the Incremental Revolving Advance
Commitment Amount may not exceed such Lender’s Revolving-2 Advance Commitment
immediately prior to any such adjustment without the consent of such Lender) and
such adjustment shall be recorded in the Register and (B) at such time and in such
manner as the Borrower and the Agent shall agree (it being understood that the
Borrower and the Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the
prepayment or assignment of any LIBOR Advances on a day other than the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto), the Revolving Lenders shall assign and
assume outstanding Revolving-2 Advances and participations in outstanding Letters of
Credit and Swingline Loans so as to cause the amounts of such
Revolving Advances and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans
11
held by each Lender with a Percentage with respect to Revolving-2 Commitments in
excess of zero to conform to its Percentage with respect to Revolving-2 Commitments.
(d) The applicable interest rate margins for any Commitment Increase shall be
agreed upon by the Borrower and the Lenders and/or Augmenting Lenders that agree to
provide such Commitment Increase and the definition of the term “Applicable Interest
Rate Margin” shall be amended by the Agent to reflect such agreement and any changes
required pursuant to Section 2.20(e) below. Any Commitment Increase to the
Revolving-2 Advance Commitments shall be subject to the terms applicable to
Revolving-2 Advances under the Loan Documents, other than with respect to pricing
and tenor; provided, that Advances under the Incremental Revolving Commitment will
not (1) mature prior to Revolving-2 Commitment Termination Date or (2) have an
average weighted life to maturity at the time of incurrence that is less than the
average weighted life to maturity of the Revolving-2 Advances at such time. Any
increase in an existing Term Facility shall be subject to documentation reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent, which documentation shall contain terms consistent with
the terms applicable to the Term B-2 Advances and the Term B-3 Advances contained in
the Loan Documents. The Borrower shall execute and deliver any additional Notes,
other amendments or modifications to any Loan Document, and deliver any other
certificates, consents or legal opinions as the Agent may reasonably request in
connection with any Commitment Increase.
(e) If, at the time that any Commitment Increase for Revolving-2 Advances
becomes effective, any Letters of Credit issued hereunder are outstanding or any
Swingline Loans are outstanding, each Revolving-2 Lender’s participation in such
Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans will be adjusted in accordance with such
Revolving-2 Lender’s Percentage, after giving effect to such Commitment Increase.
If (i) the Applicable Interest Rate Margin on the Incremental Revolving Commitment
is greater than that accruing on the existing Revolving-2 Advance Commitment or the
