I. DEFINED TERMS
Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not defined herein are used herein as defined therein.
II. INCREMENTAL TERM LOANS
(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Incremental Term Lender severally agrees to make, on the Increase Effective Date, an Incremental Term Loan in dollars to the Parent in an amount equal to the commitment amount set forth next to the Incremental Term Lender’s name in Schedule I hereto under the caption “Incremental Term Commitment”; provided that the Incremental Term Loans shall each constitute the same Class of Term Loans under the Credit Agreement as the Initial Term Loans made prior to the date hereof (the “Existing Initial Term Loans”) and shall be fungible with the Existing Initial Term Loans. Except as necessary to give effect to the provisions of clauses (b) through (h) below, the Incremental Term Loans shall be “Loans”, “Term Loans”, “Initial Term Loans” and “Incremental Term Loans” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Incremental Term Loans may be repaid or prepaid in the same manner as the Initial Term Loans in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and this Agreement, but once repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
(b) The proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans shall be used to repay outstanding amounts under (a) that certain Senior Secured Bridge to 5Y Notes Credit Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2022 and (b) that certain Senior Secured Bridge to 7Y Notes Credit Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2022, in each case with the Parent and Co-Borrower as borrowers and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Bridge Facilities”).
(c) The aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans made on the Increase Effective Date shall be $350,000,000.
(d) The Incremental Term Lender shall make the entire Incremental Term Loan on the Increase Effective Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions precedent specified herein, the Administrative Agent will make the Incremental Term Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the proceeds so received, in like funds, to an account designated by the Borrowers in the applicable borrowing notice.
(e) Maturity. The maturity date in respect of the Incremental Term Loans (the “Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date”) shall be the Maturity Date in respect of the Existing Initial Term Loans as set forth in the definition “Maturity Date” in the Credit Agreement.
(f) Interest. The Incremental Term Loans shall accrue interest on the same basis, and with the same Applicable Margin, as the Existing Initial Term Loans. The Incremental Term Loans shall have the same Interest Period and Interest Payment Date as the Existing Initial Term Loans (it being understood that, as of the Increase Effective Date, the Incremental Term Loans shall constitute Term Benchmark Loans having an initial Interest Period ending on the last day of the last day of the initial Interest Period applicable to the Existing Initial Term Loans). For the avoidance of doubt, upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Increase Effective Date on the Existing Initial Term Loans on the Increase Effective Date, the duration, the Interest Payment Date and the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate applicable to the Interest Period that commenced on the Closing Date (the “Initial Interest Period”) shall each remain unchanged, and following the Increase Effective Date, (i) the Initial Interest Period shall end on the same date that the Initial Interest Period would have ended on had no payment of interest been made on the Increase Effective Date and (ii) the interest on the Initial Term Loans (constituting the Existing Initial Term Loans and the Incremental Term Loans) for the remaining Initial Interest Period shall be (x) calculated using such unchanged Adjusted Term SOFR Rate and (y) payable on the same Interest Payment Date applicable to the Initial Interest Period had no payment of interest been made on the Increase Effective Date.
2
(g) Amortization. Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, the Incremental Term Loans shall be repayable in equal quarterly installments such that the amount repaid in each such quarterly installment is equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans (as such amounts may be reduced pursuant to Section 2.09 and Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement, as applicable) on the same dates as for the Existing Initial Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.08(a) of the Credit Agreement. The balance of the Incremental Term Loans will be repayable on the Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date.
(h) Guarantees and Security. The Incremental Term Loans shall (i) benefit from the same guarantees as the Guarantees in respect of the Existing Initial Term Loans, (ii) be secured by Liens on the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Existing Initial Term Loans and (iii) be pari passu in right of payment with the Existing Initial Term Loans.
(i) Other Terms of Incremental Term Loans. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Incremental Term Loans shall have the same terms and conditions as the Existing Initial Term Loans and shall be “Initial Term Loans” for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
