Each Initial Term Lender whose name is set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (such Initial Term Lenders being collectively referred to as the “Converting Incremental 2023 Term Lenders”) has (a) agreed to make Incremental 2023 Term Loans on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date by converting the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans of such Initial Term Lender set forth on Schedule 1 hereto opposite the name of such Initial Term Lender into Incremental 2023 Term Loans in a like principal amount (such Initial Term Loans being collectively referred to as the “Converted Incremental 2023 Term Loans”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein and (b) authorized the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver this Amendment on behalf of such Initial Term Lender.

SECTION 1. Incremental 2023 Term Loans.

 

(a) Converted Incremental 2023 Term Loans. The Borrower and each Converting Incremental 2023 Term Lender agree that, on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, the Initial Term Loans of such Converting Incremental 2023 Term Lender in an aggregate principal amount set forth opposite such Converting Incremental 2023 Term Lender’s name on Schedule 1 hereto shall convert into an equivalent principal amount of Converted Incremental 2023 Term Loans of such Converting Incremental 2023 Term Lender (and, upon such conversion, such Initial Term Loans shall cease to be outstanding), and shall continue to be in effect and outstanding as 2023 Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth therein. The Initial Term Loans of each Converting Incremental 2023 Term Lender that are not converted into Converted Incremental 2023 Term Loans will be repaid in full as provided in Section 1(b)(ii) and Section 3 hereof. The Converted Incremental 2023 Term Loans of each Converting Incremental 2023 Term Lender may be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement, but once repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. On the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date the Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Initial Term Loan that is accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date at the rate per annum set forth in Section 2.8(a) or 2.8(b), as applicable, of the Credit Agreement (the “ITL Interest Payment”).

(i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement, the New Incremental 2023 Term Lender agrees to make on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, New Incremental 2023 Term Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount that shall not exceed the Incremental 2023 Term Loan Commitment. The New Incremental 2023 Term Loans (A) shall be made on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date and shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars, (B) may at the option of the Borrower be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as provided for 2023 Term Loans in the Amended Credit Agreement and (C) may be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement, but once repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. It is understood and agreed that the New Incremental 2023 Term Loans made on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date shall be funded at 99.75% of the principal amount thereof, and notwithstanding such discount all calculations hereunder with respect to the New Incremental 2023 Term Loans, including the accrual of interest and the repayment or prepayment of principal, shall be based on 100% of the stated principal amount thereof. The Incremental 2023 Term Loan Commitment of the New Incremental 2023 Term Lender shall automatically terminate upon the making of the New Incremental 2023 Term Loans on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date or, if not previously terminated, at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date.

 

(ii) The funding of the New Incremental 2023 Term Loans on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date shall be made in the manner contemplated by Section 2.4 of the Amended Credit Agreement. On the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, the Borrower shall apply all the proceeds of the New Incremental 2023 Term Loans (net of the original issue discount applicable thereto) to prepay Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Amended Credit Agreement.

 

(c) Incremental 2023 Term Loans Generally. (i) On the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Incremental 2023 Term Loans shall be added to (and form a part of) each Borrowing of outstanding 2023 Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings in respect of 2023 Term Loans), so that each Lender of 2023 Term Loans (including the Incremental 2023 Term Loans established hereunder) will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing of 2023 Term Loans (it being agreed, however, that interest will begin accruing on the Incremental 2023 Term Loans on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date and the first interest payment in respect of each such outstanding Borrowing of 2023 Term Loans that occurs after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date shall be disbursed to the 2023 Term Lenders in a manner that gives effect to the interest accrual provisions of the Incremental 2023 Term Loans provided in this Section 1(c)(i)).
