C. Each of the Consenting Lenders is entering into this Agreement in order to evidence its consent to the Extension.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Consent to Extension. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Paragraph 2 below, each Consenting Lender hereby consents to the Extension, and effective as of the Extension Effective Date, the Maturity Date applicable to each Consenting Lender is March 24, 2029.
2. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness. This Agreement and the Extension shall be effective as of the date hereof, provided that Administrative Agent shall have received the following (a) counterparts of this Agreement, executed by the Borrower and the Lenders holding more than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments (calculated in accordance with Section 4.08 of the Credit Agreement), (b) a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the date hereof containing the certifications required by Section 4.08(b) of the Credit Agreement, and (c) a fee in the amount separately agreed by the Borrower, for the account of each Consenting Lender.
3. Affirmation and Ratification of Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby (a) ratifies and affirms each Loan Document to which it is a party (as modified by the Extension), (b) agrees that all of its obligations and covenants under each Loan Document to which it is a party shall remain unimpaired by the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other documents and instruments executed in connection herewith, and (c) agrees that each Loan Document to which it is a party (as modified by the Extension) shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement is a Loan Document.
4. Representations of Borrowers. The Borrower represents and warrants for the benefit of the Consenting Lenders and the Administrative Agent as follows: (a) before and after giving effect to the Extension, the representations and warranties contained in Article 7 of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents made by it are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, (b) before and after
giving effect to the Extension no Default exists or will exist, and (c) no event has occurred since the date of the most recent audited financial statements of the Borrower delivered pursuant to Section 8.02(a) of the Credit Agreement that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
5. Miscellaneous. (a) Headings and captions may not be construed in interpreting provisions; (b) this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York; and (c) this Agreement may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures (including, without limitation, facsimile and .pdf) and shall be considered an original, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by Administrative Agent of a manually-signed paper communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into .pdf format), or an electronically signed communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention.
6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Credit Agreement and the Other Loan Documents, TOGETHER WITH THIS Agreement, represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
