It is understood and agreed that, each Lender that has consented to Amendment No. 3 hereby has consented, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents authorized by this Section 2.14(e) 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 Section 2.14(e) Additional Amendment.”

In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrowers 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 Class) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established which shall be identical to the Term Loans of the Existing Class from which they are to be converted except (x) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.5 or in the Joinder Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Class of Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were converted, in each case as more particularly

-7-


 

set forth in paragraph (iii) of this Section 2.14(f) below), (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher than the interest margins for the Term Loans of such Existing Class and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment and (z) the mandatory prepayment rights of the Extended Term Loans and such Existing Class with respect to any Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event may be different so long as the proportion (if any) of the proceeds thereof to which such Extended Term Loans are entitled is no greater than the proportion of such proceeds to which the Existing Class is entitled for so long as such Existing Class is outstanding and such prepayment rights would not result in the proportionate repayment thereof from any such Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, when added to the proportionate repayments required with respect to all other Classes of Term Loans then outstanding, exceeding the amount of Net Cash Proceeds from such Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event); provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14 or otherwise, (A) no Extended Term Loans of any Series shall be prepaid from any Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event until all outstanding Tranche A-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-1 Term Loans and European-1 Tranche Term Loans have been repaid and (B) no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the Existing Class of Term Loans from which they were converted are repaid in full except in accordance with the last sentence of Section 5.1(a). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Class of Term Loans from which they were converted.
     (ii) The Borrowers shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Class are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of the Existing Class subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans of the Existing Class which it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans of the Existing Class subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election.
     (iii) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Credit Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.14(f)(iii) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 14.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders.

-8-


 

amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.5 or the applicable Joinder Agreement with respect to the Existing Class of Term Loans from which the Extended Term Loans were converted to reduce each scheduled Repayment Amount for the Existing Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Class is to be reduced pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any Repayment Amount payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof), (y) may, but shall not be required to, impose additional requirements (not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement in effect at such time) with respect to the final maturity and weighted average life to maturity of New Term Loans incurred following the date of such Extension Amendment and (z) in the case of any Extension Amendment with respect to Extended Term Loans of the European Borrower, provide such Extended Term Loans with the benefits of the European Guarantee and European Security Documents on the same basis as the European-1 Tranche Term Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(f) and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 14.1 to any Section 2.14(f) 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 “Section 2.14(f) Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided that such Section 2.14(f) Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.14(f) Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to (1) consents applicable to holders of New Term Loans and New Revolving Credit Commitments provided for in any Joinder Agreement and (2) consents applicable to holders of any Extended Term Loans provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Credit Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.14(f) Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 14.1. It is understood and agreed that, each Lender that has consented to Amendment No. 3 hereby has consented, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents authorized by this Section 2.14(f) 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 Section 2.14(f) 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, the Credit Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Credit Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby (in the case of such other Credit Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence) and (ii) to the effect that such Extension Amendment, including without limitation, the Extended Term Loans provided for therein, does not conflict with or violate the terms and provisions of Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement.”
