Section 2.20 Incremental Term Loans and Commitments.
(a) (i) The Borrower Representative may, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments in
an amount not to exceed the Incremental Term Loan Amount from one or more
Incremental Term Loan Lenders, each of which must be (u) an existing Lender, (v) any
Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender or (w) any other Person acceptable
(which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the
Administrative Agent. Such notice shall set forth (x) the amount of the Incremental
Term Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of
$1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the
remaining Incremental Term Loan Amount), (y) the date on which such Incremental Term
Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10
Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice), and (z) whether
such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are commitments to make additional Term Loans
or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Term Loans
(“Other Term Loans”).
(ii) The Borrower Representative may, by written notice to the Administrative
Agent from time to time, request additional Revolving Credit Commitments in an
amount not to exceed the Additional Revolving Credit Commitment Amount from one or
more Persons, each of which must be (x) an
5
existing Lender, (y) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender or (z) any other Person acceptable (which
acceptance shall not unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent.
Such notice shall set forth (x) the amount of the additional Revolving Credit
Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and
a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining
Additional Revolving Credit Commitment Amount) and (y) the date on which such
additional Revolving Credit Commitments are requested to become effective (which
shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such
notice).
(b) (i) The Borrower Representative will first seek Incremental Term Loan
Commitments from existing Lenders (each of which may agree or decline to participate
in its sole discretion) and, if additional commitments are needed, from other
Persons who will become Incremental Term Loan Lenders in connection therewith. The
Borrowers and each Incremental Term Loan Lender shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and such other
documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the
Incremental Term Loan Commitment of each Incremental Term Loan Lender.
(ii) The Borrower Representative will first seek additional Revolving Credit
Commitments from existing Lenders (each of which may agree or decline to participate
in its sole discretion) and, if additional commitments are needed, from other
Persons who will become Revolving Credit Lenders in connection therewith. The
Borrowers and each Person providing an additional Revolving Credit Commitment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Additional Revolving Credit
Commitment Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the additional Revolving Credit
Commitment of each such Person. The terms and provisions of such additional
Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans made under such additional
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be identical to those of the existing Revolving
Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans, respectively.
(c) Without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (i) the final
maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Loan
Maturity Date, (ii) the average life to maturity of the Other Term Loans shall be no
shorter than the average life to maturity of the Term Loans and (iii) except as
otherwise set forth herein or in the Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, the
Other Term Loans shall (A) be treated substantially the same as (and in any event,
no more favorably than) the Term Loans and (B) accrue interest at rates determined
by the Borrowers and the Incremental Term Loan Lenders providing such Other Term
Loans, which rates may be higher or lower
than the rates applicable to the Term Loans; provided, however,
that if the initial yield on such Other Term Loans (as determined by the
Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Eurodollar
Rate on such Other Term Loans and (y) if such Other Term Loans are initially made at
a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from
Holdings,
6
the Borrowers or any Subsidiary for doing so (the amount of such discount
or fee, expressed as a percentage of the Other Term Loans, being referred to herein
as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (A) the average
life to maturity of such Other Term Loans and (B) four) exceeds the Applicable
Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Rate Term Loans by more than 50 basis points
(the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the
“Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for Term
Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically be increased by the
Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Other Term Loans;
provided, further, that in calculating the Yield Differential,
customary arrangement or commitment fees paid or payable to one or more arrangers of
any such Other Term Loans in their capacities as such shall be excluded. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of
each Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and each Additional Revolving Credit
Commitment Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon
the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or Additional
Revolving Credit Commitment Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed
amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence
and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans
evidenced thereby or the additional Revolving Credit Commitment and additional
Revolving Loans evidenced thereby, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent and
the Borrowers may revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment or
additional Revolving Credit Commitment shall become effective under this Section
2.20 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in
paragraph (b) of Section 3.2 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent
shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative, (ii) except as otherwise
specified in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or Additional
Revolving Credit Commitment Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall
have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered
on the Closing Date under Section 3.1, (iii) after giving effect to such
Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans to be made
thereunder and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the Borrowers shall be in
compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 on a
Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the last Fiscal Quarter for which Financial
Statements are required to be delivered hereunder and (iv) to the extent reasonably
necessary to maintain the continuing priority of the Lien of the Mortgages as
security for the Obligations, as determined by the
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion (x) the applicable Loan Party
to any Mortgages shall have entered into, and delivered to the Administrative Agent,
at the direction and in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent a mortgage
modification or new Mortgage in proper form for recording in the relevant
jurisdiction and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (y)
the Borrowers shall have caused to be delivered to the Administrative Agent for
7
the benefit of the Secured Parties an endorsement to the title insurance policy, date
down(s) or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
insuring that the priority of the Lien of the Mortgages as security for the
Obligations has not changed and confirming and/or insuring that since the issuance
of the title insurance policy there has been no change in the condition of title and
there are no intervening liens or encumbrances which may then or thereafter take
priority over the Lien of the Mortgages (other than those expressly permitted by
Section 8.2) and (z) the Borrowers shall have delivered, at the request of
the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent and/or all other relevant
third parties all other items reasonably necessary to maintain the continuing
priority of the Lien of the Mortgages as security for the Obligations.
(e) (i) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent
may, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, take any and all action as
may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans (other than
Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of
outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by requiring
each outstanding Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Term Loans to be converted into a
Borrowing of Base Rate Term Loans on the date of each Incremental Term Loan, or by
allocating a portion of each Incremental Term Loan to each outstanding Borrowing of
Eurodollar Rate Term Loans on a pro rata basis. Any conversion of Eurodollar Term
Loans to Base Rate Term Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to
Section 2.16. If any Incremental Term Loan is to be allocated to an
existing Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Term Loans, then the
interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences
thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption
Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term
Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.6(b) required to
be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased
by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans and shall be
further increased for all Lenders on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary to
avoid any reduction in the amortization payments to which the Term Loan Lenders were
entitled before such recalculation.
(ii) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent
may, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, take any and all action as
may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, upon the effectiveness of each
additional Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) Revolving Loans made under such
additional Revolving Credit Commitment are included in each Borrowing of outstanding
Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis and (z) the
Lender providing each additional Revolving Credit Commitment shares ratably in
the aggregate Pro Rata Outstandings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
(f) All repayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(c) and (d) shall be
allocated ratably among the initial Term Loans and all Incremental Term Loans.
8
8. Amendment to Section 7.9. Section 7.9 of the Credit Agreement is amended by
inserting the following at the end thereof:
The proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans shall be used by the Borrowers (and,
to the extent distributed to them by the Borrowers, each other Group Member) solely
for the purposes specified herein and in the applicable Incremental Term Loan
Assumption Agreement.
9. Amendment to Section 8.5(j). Section 8.5(j) of the Credit Agreement is amended by
replacing such subsection in its entirety with the following:
(j) other Restricted Payments by the Group Members funded with Additional
Available Cash to the extent the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of Holdings is
less than 1.00:1.00 both before and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment
and any Indebtedness incurred in connection therewith; provided, that at the
time any such Restricted Payment is made no Default or Event of Default shall exist
or shall result therefrom.
10. Amendment to Section 8.5. Section 8.5 of the Credit Agreement is amended by
adding the following subsection (k):
(k) the Group Members may repurchase (and the Group Members may declare and pay
cash Restricted Payments to another Group Member (or any direct or indirect parent
thereof), the proceeds of which are used to so repurchase) shares of Stock or Stock
Equivalents of Holdings so long as at the time of any such repurchase, (x) no
Default or Event of Default shall exist or shall result therefrom and (y) the
aggregate amount of consideration for all such repurchases of Stock and Stock
Equivalents of Holdings does not exceed $25,000,000.
B. CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS

rights of the Lenders hereunder, it is understood and agreed that this Amendment shall not become
effective, and the Borrowers shall have no rights under this Amendment, until:
