(b) Authorization, Etc. The Borrower is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Amendment.

 

 

 

 

 


 

(c) Enforceability of Loan Documents.

4. Conditions to Effectiveness.

(a) Payment of Fees, Etc. The Borrower shall have paid on or before the Amendment Effective Date all fees, costs and expenses then payable, if any, pursuant to the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document.

(b) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in this Amendment and in Section 9 of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless any such representation or warranty is by its terms qualified by concepts of materiality, in which case that representation or warranty is true and correct in all respects after giving effect to any such materiality qualifier) with the same effect as if then made (except to the extent stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case that representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects or in all respects, as applicable, as of that earlier date).

(c) No Default; Event of Default. No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Amendment Effective Date or result from this Amendment becoming effective in accordance with its terms.

5. Continued Effectiveness of the Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby (a) acknowledges and consents to this Amendment for itself and each other Loan Party, (b) confirms and agrees that the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, except that on and after the Amendment Effective Date, all references in any such Loan Document to “the Credit Agreement”, the “Agreement”, “thereto”, “thereof”, “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment, and (c) confirms and agrees that, to the extent that any such Loan Document purports to assign or pledge to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, or to grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, a security interest in or Lien on any Collateral as security for the Obligations of the Loan Parties from time to time existing in respect of the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) and the other Loan Documents, such pledge, assignment and/or grant of the security interest or Lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. This Amendment does not and shall not affect any of the obligations of the Loan Parties, other than as expressly provided herein, including, without limitation, the Loan Parties’ obligations to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of Credit Agreement or the obligations of the Loan Parties under any Loan Document to which they are a party, all of which obligations shall remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not

operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

6. No Novation. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement or instruments securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby.

7. No Representations by Agent or Lenders. The Borrower for itself and each other Loan Party hereby acknowledges that it has not relied on any representation, written or oral, express or implied, by the Agent or any Lender, other than those expressly contained herein, in entering into this Amendment.

8. Release. The Borrower for itself and each other Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has any claim or cause of action against the Agent or any Lender (or any of the directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or consultants of any of the foregoing), and (b) the Agent and the Lenders have heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of their obligations to the Loan Parties, and all of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and the Lenders wish (and the Borrower for itself and each other Loan Party agrees) to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions, events or circumstances would impair or otherwise adversely affect any of their rights, interests, security and/or remedies. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, the Borrower (for itself and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release, waive and forever discharge the Agent and the Lenders, together with their respective Affiliates and Related Funds, and each of the directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and consultants of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all debts, claims, allegations, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise, which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done, in each case, on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date directly arising out of, connected with or related to this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, or the agreements of the Agent or any Lender contained therein, or the possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of any Loan Party, or the making of any Loans or other advances, or the management of such Loans or other advances or the Collateral. The Borrower for itself and each other Loan Party represents and warrants that it has no knowledge of any claim by any Releasor against any Released Party or of any facts or acts or omissions of any Released Party which on the date hereof would be the basis of a claim by any Releasor against any Released Party which would not be released hereby.

9. Further Assurances. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, execute any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all further actions, as may be required under Applicable Law or as the Agent may reasonably request, in order to effect the purposes of this Amendment.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.

(b) Section and paragraph headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.

(c) This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Section 2
COMMITMENTS OF THE LENDERS; BORROWING and CONVERSION PROCEDURES.
2.1
Commitments. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Lenders, severally and for itself alone, agrees to make loans to Borrower as follows:
2.1.1
Term Loan Commitments.
(a)
Each Lender with a Term A-1 Loan Commitment agrees to make a loan to Borrower (each such loan, a “Term A-1 Loan”) on the Closing Date in that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Term A-1 Loan Commitments of all Lenders. The Commitments of the Lenders to make Term A-1 Loans will expire concurrently with the making of Term A-1 Loans on the Closing Date.
(b)
Each Lender with a Term A-2 Loan Commitment agrees to make a loan to Borrower (each such loan, a “Term A-2 Loan”) on the Closing Date in that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Term A-2 Loan Commitments of all Lenders. The Commitments of the Lenders to make Term A-2 Loans will expire concurrently with the making of Term A-2 Loans on the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, each Term A-2 Lender shall not make its Term A-2 Loan in cash on the Closing Date but shall be deemed to have made its Term A-2 Loan under this Agreement by exchanging (i.e. rolling over) (the “Second Lien Rollover”) its Second Lien Loans for the same aggregate principal amount as such Term A-2 Lender’s Term A-2 Loan Commitment and Term A-2 Loan. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Second Lien Rollover, the Obligations in respect of the Second Lien Loans shall be deemed satisfied and paid in full.

43


 

(c)
Each Lender with a Term B Loan Commitment agrees to make one or more loans (each such loan, a “Term B Loan”) during the Term B Loan Availability Period in that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amounts that Borrower requests from all Lenders. The aggregate amount of all Term B Loans made will not exceed the aggregate Term B Loan Commitments of all Lenders. The Commitments of the Lenders to make Term B Loans will decrease concurrently with the making of Term B Loans on each applicable borrowing date by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Term B Loans made on that borrowing date. In no event shall more than four (4) borrowings of Term B Loans be advanced to Borrower. The Commitments of the Lenders to make Term B Loans will expire at the end of the Term B Loan Availability Period.
2.1.2
Incremental Facilities.
(a)
Requests. Borrower may, from time to time by written notice to Administrative Agent, no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effectiveness of any such facility (each, an “Incremental Facility Request”), request one or more increases in the Term A-1 Commitment or Term B Commitment or one or more tranches of new term loans denominated in dollars (the “Incremental Term Loan Commitment” and the term loans thereunder, each an “Incremental Term Loan”; the Incremental Term Loans are sometimes referred to herein individually as an “Incremental Loan” and, collectively, as the “Incremental Loans”; the Incremental Term Loan Commitments are sometimes referred to herein individually as an “Incremental Facility” and collectively as the “Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $60,000,000; provided that no commitment of any Lender shall be increased without the consent of such Lender. Such Incremental Facility Request shall set forth (A) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment being requested (which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof), (B) the date (an “Incremental Effective Date”) on which such Incremental Facility is requested to become effective (which shall not be (a) unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent, less than fifteen (15) days after the date of such notice and (b) more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice (or such longer period as Administrative Agent may agree), and (C) whether the related Incremental Loan is initially to be a SOFR Loan or a Base Rate Loan (and, if a SOFR Loan, the Interest Period therefor).
(b)
Allocations. Upon delivery of the Incremental Facility Request, (x) such Incremental Facility shall be offered to each Lender according its Pro Rata Share, provided that none of the Lenders will be required to provide all or any portion of such Incremental Facility, and any decision whether or not to so provide all or any portion of such Incremental Facility by any Lender shall be made at the sole discretion of such Lender and (y) any Lender that fails to commit to provide all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share within ten Business Days after its receipt of such request shall be deemed to have declined to provide all or such portion of its Pro Rata Share, as applicable, in which case such portion may instead be provided in the form of Incremental Equivalent Debt in accordance with clause (f) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (b), (i) to the extent Borrower does not have written commitments from one or more existing Lenders to provide such Incremental Facility in its entirety within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower has delivered such Incremental Facility Request, all such existing Lenders shall be deemed to have declined to provide any portion of such Incremental Facility, in which case such portion may instead be provided in the form of Incremental Equivalent Debt in accordance with clause (f) below.
(c)
Conditions. No Incremental Facility shall become effective under this Section 2.1.2 unless (A) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Facility, the loans to be made thereunder and the application of the proceeds therefrom, (I) no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing and (II) the representations and warranties made in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein), (B) Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of an Senior Officer

44


 

of Borrower certifying as to the foregoing and attaching reasonably detailed supporting calculations related thereto, in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and (C) Administrative Agent shall have received such other information and documentation as it may reasonably and promptly request in connection with such Incremental Facility and the use of proceeds thereof.
(d)
Terms. Each Incremental Term Loan in the form of an increase to existing Term A-1 Loans or Term B Loans shall be on the same terms (including the maturity date) as, and pursuant to documentation (other than an Incremental Facility Amendment, if required) applicable to, the Term A-1 Loan or Term B Loan, as applicable. Each Incremental Term Loan in the form of one or more tranches of new term loans shall be on the same terms (except as provided below) as, and pursuant to documentation (other than an Incremental Facility Amendment, if required) applicable to, the Term A-1 Loan or Term B Loan, as applicable; provided that, to the extent agreed by Borrower, Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility, the Incremental Loans may have call protection, applicable fees and amortization schedules that differ from those applicable to the Term A-1 Loan or Term B Loan. Each Incremental Term Loan shall have the same Guaranty as and be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral securing the existing Term A-1 Loans and Term B Loans and any other Incremental Facilities.
(e)
Required Amendments. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence of such Incremental Facility and the Loans evidenced thereby (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”), and any such Incremental Facility Amendment may without the consent of the other Lenders effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.1.2, and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.1.2 shall supersede any provisions in Section 15.1. From and after each Incremental Effective Date, the Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.1.2 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the guarantees and security interests created by the applicable Loan Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by the applicable Loan Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Loans and Commitments, including compliance with Section 10.9.
(f)
Incremental Equivalent Debt. Borrower may issue or incur Incremental Equiva
