WHEREAS, immediately after giving effect to the making of the 2019 Incremental Term Loans hereunder, Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto (which shall constitute the Required Lenders under the Credit Agreement) desire to make further changes to the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 9.02(b) thereof, including to increase the Applicable Rate with respect to the Initial Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the date hereof (the “Existing Term Loans”) to equal the Applicable Rate with respect to the 2019 Incremental Term Loans;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Each 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the exhibits thereto, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 5.01 of the Credit Agreement and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Amended Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.  This Agreement shall constitute (i) the notice required to be delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.20(a) of the Credit Agreement and (ii) an “Incremental Facility Amendment” for purposes of Section 2.20(d) of the Credit Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Credit Agreement, after giving effect to the amendment set forth below in Section 2 hereof to the definition of “Applicable Rate” in the Credit Agreement, the terms of the 2019 Incremental Term Loans (including without limitation the Applicable Rate, the principal payment terms applicable thereto and the maturity date thereof) shall be the same as the terms of the Existing Term Loans, and such 2019 Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be “Initial Term Loans” for all purposes of this Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document and shall constitute one tranche with, and be the same Class as, the Initial Term Loans made on the Closing Date (including as modified pursuant to the Repricing Amendment).  Following the 2019 Incremental Amendment Funding Date (as defined below) and the funding of the 2019 Incremental Term Loans on the 2019 Incremental Amendment Funding Date, each reference to “Initial Term Loans” and “Initial Term Loans” shall include the 2019 Incremental Term Loans and each reference to “Lender” shall include the 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lenders hereunder, in each case, unless the context shall require otherwise.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, with the consent of the Administrative Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all amounts of such 2019 Incremental Term Loans, when originally made, are Initial Term Loans for all purposes under the Loan Documents and are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Initial Term Loans on a pro rata basis.  This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by allocating a portion of each such 2019 Incremental Term Loans to each outstanding Eurodollar Loan that is a Term Loan of the same Class on a pro rata basis, even though as a result thereof such 2019 Incremental Term Loans may effectively have a shorter Interest Period than

 

2


 

the Term Loans included in the Borrowing of which they are a part (and notwithstanding any other provision of the Credit Agreement that would prohibit such an initial Interest Period).  The 2019 Incremental Term Loans shall not accrue interest for any period prior to the 2019 Incremental Amendment Funding Date and the Borrower shall not be required to pay interest on the 2019 Incremental Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement for any period prior to the 2019 Incremental Amendment Funding Date.

 

Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, each 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lender hereby agrees to make 2019 Incremental Term Loans as its portion of the Incremental Term Facility as set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto to the Borrowers on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (as defined below) on the following terms and conditions:

(e)                                  Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement is amended to incorporate the following clause (e):

 

The Borrower agrees to pay on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date to each 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lender party to Amendment No. 2 as an 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lender on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lender’s 2019 Incremental Term Loan, a closing fee in an amount equal to 0.50% of the stated principal amount of such 2019 Incremental Term Lender’s 2019 Incremental Term Loan.  Such fees shall be payable to each such 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lender out of the proceeds of such 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lender’s 2019 Incremental Term Loan as and when funded on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date and may be treated (and reported) by the Borrower and 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lenders as a reduction in issue price of the 2019 Incremental Term Loans for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.  Such closing fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter.

 

(f)                                   Section 2.20(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement is amended to replace the first proviso thereto with the following:

 

provided that, only in the case of any Incremental Term Loans which are secured on a pari passu basis with the Initial Term Loans and ranking pari passu with the Initial Term Loans in right of payment, in the event that the Effective Yield for any such Incremental Term Loans is greater than the Effective Yield for the Initial Term Loans by more than 0.50% per annum, then the Effective Yield for the Initial Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Effective Yield for the Initial Term Loans is equal to the Effective Yield for such Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50% per annum;

Section 11.                     Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, if

Section 12.                     Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.
