WHEREAS, the Borrower has hereby notified the Administrative Agent that it is requesting the establishment of a tranche of New Loans pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may obtain New Loan Commitments in respect of New Loans by, among other things, entering into one or more Joinder Agreements in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested New Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $225,000,000 (the “Term B-3 Loans”; the New Loan Commitments relating thereto, the “Term B-3 Commitments”); and
WHEREAS, the New Loan Lenders party to this Joinder Agreement (such New Loan Lenders and any assignees thereof, the “Term B-3 Loan Lenders”) have indicated their willingness to lend such Term B-3 Loans on the terms and subject to the conditions herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term B-3 Loan Lender severally agrees to make Term B-3 Loans to the Borrower on the Term B-3 Joinder Effective Date (as defined below) in the amount of such Term B-3 Lender’s Term B-3 Commitment as set forth on Schedule A. Pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement, the Term B-3 Loans shall have the following terms:
1. | Applicable Rate. The Applicable Rate with respect to the Term B-3 Loans shall mean a percentage per annum equal to (i) from the Term B-3 Joinder Effective Date to the date on which the Administrative Agent receives a Leverage/Prepayment Certificate pursuant to Section 6.01(g) of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ending April 28, 2012 (A) for Eurodollar Rate Loans, 3.75% and (B) for Base Rate Loans, 2.75%, and (ii) thereafter, the applicable percentage per annum set forth below determined by reference to the Total Leverage Ratio as set forth in the most recent Leverage/Prepayment Certificate received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.01(g) of the Credit Agreement: |
Pricing Level | Total Leverage Ratio | Eurodollar Rate | Base Rate |
1 | > 1.75:1 | 3.75% | 2.75% |
2 | ≤ 1.75:1 | 3.5% | 2.5% |
2. | Eurodollar Rate. With respect to the Term B-3 Loans only, the Eurodollar Rate shall be deemed to be the greater of (i) the Eurodollar Rate as defined in the Credit Agreement and (ii) 1.50% per annum. |
3. | Base Rate. With respect to the Term B-3 Loans only, the Base Rate shall be deemed to be the greater of (i) the Base Rate as defined in the Credit Agreement and (ii) 2.50% per annum. |
4. | Mandatory Prepayments. The Term B-3 Loans shall be subject to mandatory prepayments on the same basis as Loans as set forth in Section 2.03(b), (c), (d) and (e) of the Credit Agreement. Such mandatory prepayments shall be allocated between the Loans outstanding (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Term B-2 Loans) under the Credit Agreement prior to the date hereof (“Existing Term Loans”) and the Term B-3 Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with Section 2.03(f) of the Credit Agreement. |
5. | Optional Prepayments. The Term B-3 Loans may be optionally prepaid as set forth in Section 2.03(a) of the Credit Agreement. As set forth in Section 2.03(f) of the Credit Agreement, optional prepayments of Existing Term Loans and any Term B-3 Loans shall be applied ratably among the outstanding Existing Term Loans and Term B-3 Loans; provided that in the event of a refinancing or Repricing Transaction in respect of the Existing Term Loans, the proceeds of such refinancing or Repricing Transaction will be applied to the applicable outstanding tranche of Existing Term Loans prior to application to the Term B-3 Loans. Optional prepayments of the Term B-3 Loans shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term B-3 Loans in the manner specified by the Borrower or, if not so specified on or prior to the date of such optional prepayment, in direct order of maturity. In addition, if the Borrower makes any prepayment of the Term B-3 Loans in connection with a Repricing Transaction with respect to the Term B-3 Loans on or prior to the first anniversary of the Term B-3 Joinder Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Term B-3 Loan Lender, a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal amount of such Term B-3 Loans being repaid. |
6. | Amortization and Maturity Date. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent in dollars for the ratable account of the Term B-3 Loan Lenders on February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each year, commencing on August 31, 2012, an aggregate amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B-3 Loans advanced on the Term B-3 Joinder Effective Date (which payments in each case shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth herein). To the extent not previously paid, all Term B-3 Loans shall be due and payable on May 25, 2018, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to but excluding the date of payment. |
7. | Upfront Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay on the Term B-3 Joinder Effective Date to each Term B-3 Loan Lender party to this Joinder Agreement on the Term B-3 Joinder Effective Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Term B-3 Loan Lender’s Term B-3 Loan, a non-refundable funding fee in an amount equal to 2.00% of the stated principal amount of such Term B-3 Loan Lender’s Term B-3 Loan funded on the Term B-3 Joinder Effective Date, which fee may be paid with the proceeds of the Term B-3 Loans. |
8. | Credit Agreement Governs. Except as set forth in this Joinder Agreement, the Term B-3 Loans shall have identical terms as the Existing Term Loans 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 Term Lenders, of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each reference to a “Loan” or “Loans” in the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to include the Term B-3 Loans and other related terms will have correlative meanings mutatis mutandis. |
