(n)           Subsection 2.5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

“2.5         Extension Amendments.

 

(a)           The Parent Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion, including one or more Tranches, of the Revolving Commitments (including any Extended Revolving Commitments), each existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Commitment” and any related Revolving Loans thereunder, “Existing Revolving Loans”; each Existing Revolving Commitment and related Existing Revolving Loans together being referred to as an “Existing Tranche”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) (each, an “Extended Maturity Date”) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Existing Revolving Loans related to such Existing Revolving Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Commitments” and any related Existing Revolving Loans, “Extended Revolving Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this subsection 2.5.  In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, the Parent Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Tranche) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Commitments from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Revolving Commitment”) except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitments, (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Revolving Commitments and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (z) the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be higher or lower than the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage for the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment, in each case to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 2.5 or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to any Revolving Commitments (including all Extended Revolving Commitments) shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other outstanding Revolving Commitments (including all Extended Revolving Commitments), (2) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans related to such Revolving Commitments set forth in subsection 10.6 and (3) no termination of Extended Revolving Commitments and no repayment of Extended Revolving Loans accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in Extended

 

7



 

Revolving Commitments shall be permitted unless such termination or repayment (and corresponding reduction) is accompanied by an at least pro rata termination or permanent repayment (and corresponding permanent reduction), as applicable, of all earlier maturing Revolving Commitments (including Extended Revolving Commitments) and Revolving Loans (including Extended Revolving Loans) related to such earlier maturing Revolving Commitments (including Extended Revolving Commitments) (or all earlier maturing Revolving Commitments (including Extended Revolving Commitments) and Revolving Loans (including Extended Revolving Loans) related to such Revolving Commitments (including Extended Revolving Commitments) shall otherwise be or have been terminated and repaid in full).  No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Revolving Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments of any Existing Tranche converted into Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request.  Any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate Tranche of Revolving Commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Commitments and from any other Existing Revolving Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Commitments so established on such date).

 

(b)           The Parent Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche or Existing Tranches are requested to respond.  Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing Revolving Commitments converted into Extended Revolving Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Revolving Commitments that it has elected to convert into Extended Revolving Commitments.  In the event that the aggregate amount of Specified Existing Revolving Commitments subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Revolving Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing Revolving Commitments subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Revolving Commitments on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Specified Existing Revolving Commitments included in each such Extension Election.  Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving Commitment into an Extended Revolving Commitment, such Extended Revolving Commitment shall be treated identically to all Revolving Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Lender in respect of Letters of Credit under subsection 2.6 and Swing Line Loans under subsection 2.7, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the maturity date for Swing Line Loans and/or Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to make Swing Line Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued so long as the Swing Line Lender and/or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, have consented to such extensions in their sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

 

(c)           Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions related to maturity, interest margins or fees referenced in subsection 2.5(a) clauses (x) to (z) and which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by

 

8


 

the penultimate sentence of this subsection 2.5(c), shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders.  No Extension Amendment shall provide for any tranche of Extended Revolving Commitments in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $25.0 million.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 2.5 and without limiting the generality or applicability of subsection 10.1 to any Subsection 2.5 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Subsection 2.5 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Subsection 2.5 Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Subsection 2.5 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Revolving Commitments provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Subsection 2.5 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with subsection 10.1.  It is understood and agreed that each Lender that has consented to Amendment No. 1 hereby has consented for all purposes requiring its consent, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this subsection 2.5 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith except that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Subsection 2.5 Additional Amendment.  In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Parent Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension Amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby and (ii) to the effect that such Extension Amendment, including without limitation, the Extended Revolving Commitments provided for therein, does not conflict with or violate the terms and provisions of subsection 10.1 of this Agreement.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Tranche is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clause (a) above (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitments of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Revolving Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Revolving Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established as a separate Tranche of Revolving Commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Commitments and from any other Existing Revolving Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Commitments so established on such date) and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Revolving Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Specified Revolving Commitments, such Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Loans (and related participations) and Existing Revolving Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Specified Revolving Commitments to Extended Revolving Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date.”

“(i)          Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in subsection 2.6(d)(i), agrees to issue letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Closing Date pursuant to this subsection 2.6, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrowers on any Business Day during the Tranche B Revolving Commitment Period but in no event later than the 30th day prior to the Tranche B Revolving Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Bank; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit would exceed $75.0 million or (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit of all the Lenders would exceed the Revolving Commitments of all the Lenders then in effect; provided, further, that (x) the Issuing Bank shall not issue any Letters of Credit in any L/C Designated Foreign Currency if, after giving effect to the making of such Letters of Credit, the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of the then outstanding Revolving Loans in Designated Foreign Currencies and the then outstanding L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in any L/C Designated Foreign Currency would exceed $50.0 million and (y) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans made to Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers and L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued on behalf of Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers shall at no time exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $50.0 million (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of the then outstanding Revolving Loans in any Designated Foreign Currency and, to the extent applicable, the then outstanding L/C Obligations in respect of any Letters of Credit denominated in any L/C Designated Foreign Currency on the date on which the Parent Borrower has given the Administrative Agent a notice of borrowing with respect to any Revolving Loan for purposes of determining compliance with this subsection 2.6).  Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars or any other L/C Designated Foreign Currency requested by the Parent Borrower and shall be either (A) a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, which finance the working capital and business needs of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business (a “Standby Letter of Credit”) or (B) a commercial letter of credit in respect of the purchase of goods or services by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business (a “Commercial Letter of Credit”), and (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Bank, mature not more than twelve months after the date of issuance (automatically renewable annually thereafter or for such longer period of time as may be agreed by the relevant Issuing Bank) and, in any event, no later than five Business Days prior to the Tranche B Revolving Maturity Date (except to the extent cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Bank); provided that, subject to the foregoing clause (ii), if on the date that is five days prior to the Tranche A Revolving Maturity Date, the aggregate of the Tranche B Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Commitments of all the Lenders then in

 

10



 

effect is less than the sum of the LC Obligations then outstanding (after giving effect to any maturity of any Letter of Credit on such date) plus the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche B Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Loans then outstanding, then on such date the Administrative Agent will give notice to such effect to Parent Borrower and the Borrowers will, as soon as practicable but in any event within five Business Days of making such determination, first, make such repayments or prepayments of Loans (together with interest accrued to the date of such repayment or prepayment), second, pay any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding and, third, cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as shall be necessary to cause the aggregate of the Tranche B Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Commitments of all the Lenders then in effect to equal or exceed the sum of the LC Obligations then outstanding (after giving effect to any maturity of any Letter of Credit on such date) plus the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche B Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Loans then outstanding.  Each Letter of Credit shall be deemed to constitute a utilization of the Revolving Commitments and shall be participated in (as more fully described in following subsections 2.6(d)(i) and 2.6(d)(iv)) by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages.  All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or in the respective L/C Designated Foreign Currency requested by the Parent Borrower on behalf of the applicable Borrower and shall be issued for the account of the applicable Borrower.”
