Related to Increase or Amendment
Increase in Commitment (i) At any time upon written notice to Agent, Nordson may request that the Total Commitment Amount be increased by an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000) in the aggregate for all such increases from the Closing Date until the last day of the Commitment Period, provided that (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such request and on the date of any such increase and (B) Nordson shall have delivered to Agent, together with such written notice, a copy of Nordson’s duly adopted corporate resolutions, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, that authorize the borrowing of the requested increase in the Total Commitment Amount, which resolutions shall be certified by the Secretary of Nordson as being true, correct, complete and in full force and effect. Upon receipt of any such request, Agent shall deliver a copy of such request to each Bank. Nordson shall set forth in such request the amount of the requested increase in the Total Commitment Amount (which in each case shall be in a minimum amount of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000)) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such request and that, in any event, must be at least ninety (90) days prior to the last day of the Commitment Period), and shall offer each Bank the opportunity to increase its Revolving Commitment. Each Bank shall, by notice to Nordson and Agent given not more than ten (10) days after the date of Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Revolving Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each such Bank so agreeing being an “Increasing Bank”) or decline to increase its Revolving Commitment (and any such Bank that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment and each Bank so declining or being deemed to have declined being a “Non-Increasing Bank”). If, on the 10th day after Agent shall have delivered notice as set forth above, the Increasing Banks shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase in the Total Commitment Amount requested by Nordson, Nordson may arrange for one or more banks or other entities that are reasonably acceptable to Agent (each such Person so agreeing being an “Augmenting Bank”) so long as such Augmenting Bank shall have a Revolving Commitment of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), and Nordson and each Augmenting Bank shall execute all such documentation as Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Commitment and/or its status as a Bank with a Revolving Commitment hereunder. Any increase in the Total Commitment Amount may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by Nordson if Nordson is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Banks, in the full amount. If Increasing Banks and/or Augmenting Banks offer Revolving Commitment increases or new Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in excess of the aggregate increase amount requested by Nordson, then Agent shall, in consultation with Nordson, determine each such Increasing Bank’s or Augmenting Bank’s percentage of the increased amount.
Modification or Amendment Subject to the provisions of the applicable Laws, at any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto may modify or amend this Agreement, by written agreement executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of the respective parties.
Increase in Total Commitment (a) The Company may from time to time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall deliver a copy thereof to each Lender), request that the Total Commitment be increased by an amount not to exceed the Incremental Facility Amount at such time. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase in the Total Commitment (which shall be an integral multiple of $10,000,000) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days or more than 60 days after the date of such notice), and shall offer to each Lender the opportunity to increase its Commitment by its Pro Rata Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Lender shall, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent given not more than 10 days after the date on which the Administrative Agent shall have delivered the Company's notice, either agree to increase its Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each Lender so agreeing being an "Increasing Lender") or decline to increase its Commitment (and any Lender that does not deliver such notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment) (each Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a "Non-Increasing Lender"). In the event that, on the 10th day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered the Company's notice, the Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase in the Total Commitment requested by the Company, the Company may arrange for one or more banks or other financial institutions (any such bank or other financial institution referred to in this clause (a) being called an "Augmenting Lender"), which may include any Lender, to extend Commitments or increase their existing Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided that each Augmenting Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Company and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall specify to evidence its Commitment and/or its status as a Lender hereunder. Any increase in the Total Commitment may be made in an amount which is less than the increase requested by the Company if the Company is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Lenders.
Termination or Amendment The Committee may terminate or amend the Plan or this Agreement at any time; provided, however, that no such termination or amendment may adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Participant unless such termination or amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law or government regulation. No amendment or addition to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing.
Increase in Commitments The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time (a) during the period beginning on the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, (b) during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date for the 2020 Term Loans, to request the making of additional 2020 Term Loans (the “Additional 2020 Term Loans”), and (c) during the period from the Effective Date to by excluding the Termination Date for the 2022 Term Loans to request the making of additional 2022 Term Loans (the “Additional 2022 Term Loans”; together with the Additional 2020 Term Loans, the “Additional Term Loans”), in each case, by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such increases of the Revolving Commitments and the making of Additional Term Loans, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans shall not exceed $2,500,000,000 (less the amount of any prepayments of the Term Loans). Each such increase in the Revolving Commitments or borrowing of Additional Term Loans must be an aggregate minimum amount of $50,000,000 and integral multiples of $10,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such increase in the Revolving Commitments and/or the making of any Additional Term Loans, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to any such increase in the Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans and the allocations of any increase in the Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment, to provide a new Revolving Commitment, or to make an Additional Term Loan, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase of the Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans must be an Eligible Assignee. If a new Revolving Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Revolving Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Revolving Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Revolving Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Revolving Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Revolving Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Revolving Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Lenders under Section 2.3.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Lenders under Section 4.4. as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans. Effecting any increase of the Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase of the Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans, (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of any such increase in the Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances expressly permitted hereunder, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of (A) all corporate and other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such increase of the Revolving Commitments or Additional Term Loans and (B) all corporate and other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such increase of the Revolving Commitments or Additional Term Loans; (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, and (iii)(A) new Revolving Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any new Revolving Lenders and replacement Revolving Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any existing Revolving Lenders increasing their Revolving Commitments, in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and/or (B) a new Term Note of the applicable Class of Term Loans made by such Term Loan Lender executed by the Borrower, payable to such new Term Loan Lenders, and replacement Term Notes of the applicable Class executed by the Borrower payable to such existing Term Loan Lenders making such Additional Term Loans of such Class, in each case, in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan of the applicable Class at the time of the making of such Additional Term Loans (excluding, in the case of the preceding clauses (A) and (B), any Lender that has requested that it not receive Notes). In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or the making of the Additional Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.16., any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act.
Increase in Revolving Commitments (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request that the total Revolving Commitment be increased by an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Revolving Facility Amount at such time. Upon the receipt of such request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to each Revolving Lender. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase (which shall be in minimum increments of $500,000 and a minimum amount of $2,500,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Revolving Facility Amount) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and which, in any event, must be prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), and shall offer each Revolving Lender the opportunity to increase its Revolving Commitment by its Pro Rata Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Revolving Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 10 days after the date of the Administrative Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Revolving Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each Revolving Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Revolving Lender”) or decline to increase its Revolving Commitment (and any Revolving Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment) (each Revolving Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a Non-Increasing Revolving Lender”). In the event that, on the 10th day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph, the Increasing Revolving Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase requested by the Borrower, such Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity being called an “Augmenting Revolving Lender”), which may include any Lender, to extend Revolving Commitments or increase their existing Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided, however, that each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Borrower and each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Commitment and/or its status as a Revolving Lender hereunder, Any such increase may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by the Borrower if such Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Revolving Lenders.
Termination Reduction or Increase of the Commitments (a) The Company shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days' notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and provided further that (x) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bid Advances then outstanding, and (y) once terminated, a portion of a Commitment shall not be reinstated except pursuant to Section 2.05(c).
Waiver or Amendment Except as may apply to any particular waiving or consenting Noteholder, no waiver or amendment of any term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement herein or in the Subordinated Notes shall be effective except with the consent of at least fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate principal amount (excluding any Subordinated Notes held by the Company or any of its Affiliates) of the Subordinated Notes at the time outstanding; provided, however, that without the consent of each holder of an affected Subordinated Note, no such amendment or waiver may: (i) reduce the principal amount of the Subordinated Note; (ii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Subordinated Note; (iii) extend the maturity of any Subordinated Note; (iv) change the currency in which payment of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the Subordinated Notes are to be made; (v) lower the percentage of aggregate principal amount of outstanding Subordinated Notes required to approve any amendment of this Agreement or the Subordinated Notes; (vi) make any changes to Section 4(c) (Partial Redemption), Section 6 (Events of Default; Acceleration), Section 7 (Failure to Make Payments), Section 16 (Priority), or Section 18 (Waiver and Consent) of the Subordinated Notes that adversely affects the rights of any holder of a Subordinated Note; (vii) make any changes to this Section 7.3 (Waiver or Amendment) that adversely affects the rights of any holder of a Subordinated Note; or (viii) disproportionately affect the rights of any of the holders of the then outstanding Subordinated Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may amend or supplement the Subordinated Notes without the consent of the holders of the Subordinated Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or to provide for uncertificated Subordinated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Subordinated Notes, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of any of the Subordinated Notes. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising, by a Purchaser or any holder of the Subordinated Notes, of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy provided by law. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law or equity. No notice or demand on the Company in any case shall, in itself, entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Purchasers to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by the Purchasers to or of any breach or default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of the Company hereunder. Failure on the part of the Purchasers to complain of any acts or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by the Purchasers of their rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies on account of any breach or default by the Company.
Increase of Commitment Increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender hereunder without the consent of such Lender;
Increase Option Subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may from time to time (but in no event more than 3 times in the aggregate) elect to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and/or the Aggregate Term Commitment, in each case in integral multiples of $5,000,000 (but not less than $25,000,000) or such lower amount as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree upon, so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases (when added to the existing Aggregate Total Commitment) does not exceed $1,000,000,000. The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new Eligible Assignees (each such new Eligible Assignee, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Commitments, or provide new Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender and each Increasing Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in each case not to be unreasonably withheld, and, with respect to any increase in the Revolving Commitments, shall be either a Qualified Bank or approved by each LC Issuer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto. In no event shall any Lender become an Increasing Lender or an Augmenting Lender without such Lender’s prior written consent (in its sole discretion). No consent of any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24. Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in any Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (1) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.2 shall be satisfied (or waived by the Required Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and (2) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase, as well as such documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (including, without limitation, customary opinions of counsel and affirmations of Loan Documents and pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.19). On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders holding Commitments in the applicable Facility, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans and outstanding Term Loans, as applicable, of all the Lenders to equal its Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Revolving Loans and outstanding Term Loans, as applicable, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans under each Facility as of the date of any increase in the Commitments under such Facility (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.8). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. Nothing contained in this Section 2.24 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment under any Facility hereunder at any time.
