(ii) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche B Term Loans (without giving effect to prior prepayments that would otherwise modify the weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche B Term Loans);
(iii) no Incremental Maturity Date of any Incremental Term Facility shall be earlier than the initial Tranche B Term Maturity Date (other than an earlier maturity date for customary bridge financings, which, subject to customary conditions, would either be automatically converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent financing the stated maturity of which shall be no earlier than the initial Tranche B Term Maturity Date);
(iv) (x) subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the pricing, interest rate margins, discounts, premiums, rate floors, fees and the amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders and (y) all other terms of any Incremental Term Facility, if not consistent with the terms of the Tranche B Term Facility in any material respect, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (except for covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of such Incremental Facility Agreement) (it being understood that the Borrower has no obligation to the extent approach any financial maintenance covenant Lender, and no Lender is added for the benefit of committing to provide any Incremental Term Loans Commitment until such time as such Lender agrees in writing to provide all or any Incremental Term Commitments, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of any Tranche B Term Loans remaining outstanding after the effectiveness of such Incremental Facility Agreement);
(v) any Incremental Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans, as specified in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement;
(vi) any Incremental Commitments and Incremental Loans shall, as elected by the Borrower, be equal or junior in right of payment with any remaining portion of the Facilities and, with respect to security with any remaining portion of the Facilities, pari passu, junior or unsecured and shall not be secured by any assets other than the Collateral securing the Facilities or guaranteed by any Person that does not guarantee the Facilities (provided that any such Incremental Commitments or Incremental Loans that are pari passu with or junior to the Facilities with respect to security shall be subject to the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and/or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable);
(vii) the proceeds of any Incremental Facility shall be used for general corporate purposes, including to finance growth Capital Expenditures, to make Permitted Acquisitions and the related transactions and payment of fees and expenses with respect thereto, to make Restricted Payments and to refinance existing Indebtedness to the extent permitted hereunder, or for any other purpose not prohibited by this Agreement; and
(viii) the Incremental Revolving Commitments and Incremental Revolving Loans shall be identical to the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans, other than as to their Maturity Date and as set forth in this Section 2.21 (Incremental Facilities); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.21 (Incremental Facilities) or otherwise:
(A) any such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans;
(B) any such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Loans shall not mature earlier than the latest Maturity Date of any Revolving Loans outstanding at the time of incurrence of such Incremental Revolving Commitments;
(C) the borrowing and repayment (except for (1) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Incremental Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (2) repayments required upon the maturity date of the Incremental Revolving Commitments and (3) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (D) below)) of Loans with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments on the Incremental Facility Closing Date; and
(D) the permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and termination of, Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class.
(c) The Incremental Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Agreements executed and delivered by the Parent, the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Commitments and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Incremental Commitments shall become effective unless (i) except as otherwise agreed by the Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Facility in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition (which shall be governed by clause (d) below), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of effectiveness thereof, both immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments and the making of Incremental Loans thereunder to be made on such date, (ii) except as otherwise agreed by the Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Facility in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition (which shall be governed by clause (d) below), on the date of effectiveness thereof, the representations and warranties set forth in Article III and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct (A) in the case of the representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects and (B) otherwise, in all material respects, in each case, on and as of such date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such prior date, (iii) after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments and the making of Incremental Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder to be made on the date of effectiveness thereof, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the Financial Covenants set forth in Section 6.12 (Financial Covenants) with respect to the Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower most recently ended as of the date of effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments on a pro forma basis and (iv) the Borrower shall have delivered or caused to have been delivered to the Administrative Agent such customary legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.
