Refinancing Amendments (a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Other Term Loans to refinance all or any portion of the applicable Class or Classes of Loans then outstanding under this Agreement which will be made pursuant to Other Term Loan Commitments, pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Other Term Loans (i) may rank equal in priority in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii)(A) will have interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment terms and premiums as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Other Term Loans in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, (iii) may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iv) will have a final maturity date no earlier than, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity equal to or greater than, the Loans being refinanced (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Loans prior to the time of such refinancing) and (v) will have such other terms and conditions (other than as provided in foregoing clauses (ii) through (iv)) that are identical in all material respects to, or (taken as a whole) are no more restrictive on the Borrower than those applicable to the Loans being refinanced (provided that such terms shall not be deemed to be “more restrictive” solely as a result of the inclusion in the documentation governing such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans of a Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall be given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of each Facility); provided, further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date in respect of Term Loans that is in effect immediately prior to the date in respect of the Class of Loans being refinanced that is in effect on the date such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans are incurred or obtained. Any Other Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments under Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iii)(A), as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment. In connection with any Refinancing Amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Other Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.
(b) Each Class of Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.13 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Other Term Loans and/or Other Term Loan Commitments as Loans and Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13.
(c) This Section 2.13 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.13 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Refinancing Amendment shall effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all Lenders pursuant to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 10.01, unless each such Lender has, or all such Lenders have, as the case may be, given its or their consent to such amendment. No Lender shall be under any obligation to provide any Other Term Loan Commitment unless such Lender executes a Refinancing Amendment.
Refinancing Facilities (a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender (to the extent agreed to by such Lender or Additional Lender in its sole discretion), Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans, Prepetition Subsidiary Debt, Revolving Credit Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments then outstanding under this Agreement (which will be deemed to include any then outstanding Incremental Term Loans under any Incremental Facilities or any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments then outstanding under this Agreement (or any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding pursuant thereto)) or any then outstanding Refinancing Term Loans or any then outstanding Refinancing Revolving Credit Loans or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments in the form of Refinancing Revolving Credit Loans or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, respectively, in each case, pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, together with any applicable Customary Intercreditor Agreement or other customary subordination agreement; provided, that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will, to the extent secured, rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder (but for the avoidance of doubt, such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may be unsecured), (ii) will, to the extent permitted by the definition of “Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness,” have such pricing, interest rate margins (including “MFN” provisions), rate floors, discounts, fees, premiums and prepayment or redemption provisions and terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders or Additional Lenders with respect thereto, (iii) will, to the extent in the form of Refinancing Revolving Credit Loans or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, participate in the payment, borrowing, participation and commitment reduction provisions herein on a pro rata basis with any then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit 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 and (iv) will, to the extent in the form of Refinancing Revolving Credit Loans or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments and unless the Required Revolving Credit Lenders shall have consented thereto, have terms and conditions (other than interest rate margins and commitment fees) identical to those applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans being refinanced. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (or in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans, the Revolver Agent), receipt by the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, of reaffirmation agreements and board resolutions, officers’ certificates and legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date. The Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans, Refinancing Revolving Credit Loans or Refinancing Revolving Credit Loan Commitments, as applicable) and any Indebtedness being replaced or refinanced with such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be deemed permanently reduced and satisfied in all respects. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, to effect the provisions of this Section.
(b) This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions of Section 10.01 to the contrary.
Refinancing Term Loans (a) Lead Borrower may from time to time by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more additional Tranches of Term Loans under this Agreement (“Refinancing Term Loans”), which refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund all or any portion of one or more Tranches of Term Loans under this Agreement selected by Lead Borrower; provided, that such Refinancing Term Loans may not be in an amount greater than the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans being refinanced, renewed, replaced, defeased or refunded plus unpaid accrued interest and premium (if any) thereon and upfront fees, original issue discount, underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses incurred in connection with the Refinancing Term Loans; provided that such aggregate principal amount may also be increased to the extent such additional amount is capable of being incurred at such time pursuant to Section 2.15 and such excess incurrence shall for all purposes hereof be an incurrence under the relevant subclauses of Section 2.15. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which Lead Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not less than three (3) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that:
(i) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans being refinanced and the Refinancing Term Loans shall not have a final stated maturity (excluding for this purpose, interim loan financings that provide for automatic rollover, subject to customary conditions, to Indebtedness otherwise meeting the maturity requirements of this clause (i)) before the Maturity Date applicable to the Term Loans being refinanced;
(ii) such Refinancing Term Loans shall have pricing (including interest rates, fees and premiums), amortization, optional prepayment, mandatory prepayment (so long as such Refinancing Term Loans are not entitled to participate on a greater than pro rata basis in any mandatory prepayment than the then outstanding Term Loans) and redemption terms as may be agreed to by the Borrowers and the relevant Refinancing Term Loan Lenders (as defined below);
(iii) such Refinancing Term Loans shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than Holdings, the Borrowers or a Subsidiary Guarantor;
(iv) in the case of any such Refinancing Term Loans that are secured, such Refinancing Term Loans are secured only by assets comprising Collateral, and not secured by any property or assets of Lead Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral;
(v) all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (except as set forth above), taken as a whole, shall not be materially more favorable to the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders, than the related provisions applicable to the existing Term Loans or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date as of the date such Indebtedness was incurred (provided that a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lead Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent in good faith at least five Business Days prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material terms and conditions of such Indebtedness or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that Lead Borrower has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the requirement set out in this clause (v), shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions satisfy such requirement unless the Administrative Agent provides notice to Lead Borrower of an objection during such five Business Day period (including a reasonable description of the basis upon which it objects)).
(b) The Borrowers may approach any Lender or any other Person that would be an Eligible Transferee of Term Loans to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Lender”); provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Term Loan. Any Refinancing Term Loans made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated a series (a “Refinancing Term Loan Series”) of Refinancing Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Refinancing Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Term Loan Amendment and subject to the restrictions set forth in clause (a) above, be designated as an increase in any previously established Tranche of Term Loans.
(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by Section 2.18(a) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of interest, fees, amortization or premium in respect of the Refinancing Term Loans on the terms specified by Lead Borrower) and hereby waive the requirements of this Agreement or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any transaction contemplated by Section 2.18(a). The Refinancing Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Amendment”) (which shall not require the consent of any other Lender) which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.18(a). Each Refinancing Term Loan Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties party thereto and the other parties hereto without the consent of any other Lender and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Lead Borrower, to effect the provisions of Section 2.18 including such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith and to adjust the amortization schedule in Section 5.02(a) (insofar as such schedule relates to payments due to Lenders the Term Loans of which are refinanced with the proceeds of Refinancing Term Loans; provided that no such amendment shall reduce the pro rata share of any such payment that would have otherwise been payable to the Lenders, the Term Loans of which are not refinanced with the proceeds of Refinancing Term Loans). The Administrative Agent shall be permitted, and each is hereby authorized, to enter into such amendments with the Borrowers to effect the foregoing.
Refinancing Debt Borrowed Money that is the result of an extension, renewal or refinancing of Debt permitted under Section 10.2.1(b), (d) or (f).
Incremental Facility (a) The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request, prior to the Maturity Date, one or more increases to the existing Revolving Commitments (any such increase, the “New Commitments”), by an aggregate amount for all New Commitments not in excess of the Incremental Available Amount (subject to Section 1.07, determined as of the date of effectiveness of such New Commitments) and not less than $25,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent or that shall constitute the remaining amount of New Commitments permitted to be incurred pursuant to this Section 2.18 at such time), and integral multiples of $25,000,000 in excess of that amount. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which Borrower proposes that the New Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and which may be contingent upon the closing of an acquisition or other transaction and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an eligible assignee under Section 9.04(b), subject to approval thereof by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks in the case of a Person that is not a Lender, to the extent such approval is required in the case of an assignment to such Person pursuant to such Section 9.04(b) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (each, a “New Lender”), to whom Borrower proposes any portion of such New Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations (it being understood that the identity of such Lenders or other Persons may be amended after the date of such notice so long as the approval requirements, if any, are satisfied); provided that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Commitment. Such New Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that, subject to Section 1.07 (except as set forth in the parenthetical proviso to clause (1) below), (1) on such Increased Amount Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) and (b) (with references therein to the “Effective Date” being deemed to refer instead to such Increased Amount Date and, in the case of Section 4.02(b), before and after giving effect to such New Commitment) shall be satisfied (provided that if the proceeds of the Loans under such New Commitments are to be used to consummate a Limited Conditionality Acquisition, (x) no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Increased Amount Date before and after giving effect to such New Commitments (it being understood that the requirements of Section 4.02(b) shall otherwise be complied with in accordance with Section 1.07) and (y) the requirements of Section 4.02(a) shall be subject to, if agreed to by the lenders providing such New Commitments, customary “SunGard” or other customary applicable “certain funds” conditionality provisions (including the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the applicable acquisition agreement as are material to the interests of the lenders providing such New Commitments, but only to the extent that the Borrower or any of its Affiliates has the right to terminate its obligations under such acquisition agreement as a result of the failure of such representation or warranty to be accurate)); (2) the New Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, each Guarantor, if any, the New Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and each New Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.14; (3) Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Sections 2.12 and 2.13 in connection with the New Commitments; and (4) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the New Lenders or the Issuing Banks in connection with any such transaction.
(b) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Commitments are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the Lenders shall assign to each of the New Lenders, and each of the New Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Usage outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letter of Credit Usage will be held by existing Lenders and New Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (ii) each New Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Revolving Loan made thereunder (a “New Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan, and (iii) each New Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes hereunder.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (i) the New Commitments and the New Lenders, and (ii) the respective interests in such Lender’s Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letter of Credit Usage, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.18.
(d) The terms and provisions (including pricing) of the New Loans shall be identical to the existing Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (x) the New Loans will not be guaranteed by any Person other than (1) the Guarantors or (2) any Person that shall, substantially concurrently with the incurrence of such New Loans, become a Guarantor and (y) the New Loans will not be secured by any assets not constituting the Collateral, unless such assets are substantially concurrently pledged to secure the Secured Obligations on an equal and ratable basis. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02 to the contrary, each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18.
