provided, however, that if the Effective Yield for any such Incremental Term Loans incurred prior the date that is six (6) months after the First Restatement Effective Date, exceeds the Effective Yield then applicable to any then outstanding Initial Term Loans by more than 0.75% per annum, the Applicable Margins for all then outstanding Initial Term Loans shall be increased as of such date in accordance with the requirements of the definition of “Applicable Margin” and (III) such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may have other terms (other than those described in preceding clauses (I) and (II)) that may differ from those of other Tranches of Term Loans, including, without limitation, as to the application of optional or voluntary prepayments among the Incremental Term Loans and the existing Term Loans, in each case, taken as a whole, that are not materially more favorable to the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans than the provisions applicable to the existing Term Loans or as are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ix) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) incurred by the Borrowers shall be Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the Security Agreements, and guaranteed under each relevant Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Term Loans secured by the Security Agreement and guaranteed under each such Guaranty, (x) each Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Amendment as provided in Section 2.01(b) and such Term Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and (xi) all Incremental Term Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied.

Each such notice shall specify (a) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which Borrower proposes that the New Term Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than one Business Day after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent and (b) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “New Term Loan Lender”) to whom Borrower proposes any portion of such New Term Loan Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that, any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Term Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Term Loan Commitment. Such New Term Loan Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date without further written consent or authorization from Lenders or the Administrative Agent; provided that, (a) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Term Loan Commitments; (b) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Series of New Term Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 shall be satisfied; (c) Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be in pro forma compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Sections 5 and 6 after giving effect to such New Term Loan Commitments and New Term Loans; (d) the New Term Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements (each, a “Joinder Agreement”) (which shall set forth, for such New Term Loan Commitments and the New Term Loans made pursuant thereto, the Applicable Margin and scheduled amortization thereof and the final maturity thereof) executed and delivered by Borrower, Administrative Agent and each New Term Loan Lender; and (e) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Any New Term Loans funded pursuant to any one Joinder Agreement shall be designated a separate series (each a “Series”) of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon and after the effectiveness of New Term Loan Commitments, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions and other applicable terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Joinder Agreement, (a) each New Term Loan Lender of such Series shall make a New Term Loan to Borrower in an amount equal to its pro rata portion of the New Term Loan Commitment being funded, and (b) each New Term Loan Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Commitment of such Series and the New Term Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto. Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly upon receipt of Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and the amount of New Term Loan Commitments of such Series. Each New Term Loan Commitment with respect to any Series shall terminate immediately and without further action upon funding of such New Term Loan. The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or permitted under this Section 2.1(c)(i) and set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement, identical to Term Loans. In any event (a) the applicable maturity date of each Series of New Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Final Maturity Date, (b) the Weighted-Average Life to Maturity of all New Term Loans of any Series shall be no shorter than the Weighted-Average Life to Maturity of the Terms Loans outstanding on the Closing Date under this Agreement and (c) with respect to any New Term Loans created hereunder, if the initial yield on such New Term Loans (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin applicable to such New Term Loans above the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate and (y) if such New Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from or on behalf of the Borrower for doing so (excluding customary arranger or commitment fees paid to the Arrangers or their affiliates), and such discount and fees are in excess of 0.50% (the amount of such discount or upfront fees, in excess of 0.50% expressed as a percentage of such New Term Loans, being referred to herein as “Upfront Fees”), the amount of such Upfront Fees divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such New Term Loans and (B) four) exceeds the Applicable Margin for any Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin (without respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans) then in effect for such Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the New Term Loans; provided that, if the lowest permissible rate applicable to such New Term Loans is higher than the lowest permissible rate applicable to other Term Loans (as a result of a “floor” or similar feature), then the difference between such lowest permissible rate and zero shall be used in calculating the Yield Differential for purposes of this clause (c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower, Guarantors and Administrative Agent may execute such amendments and/or amendments and restatements to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this subsection 2.1(c)(i), and each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect any such amendments and/or amendments and restatements to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this subsection 2.1(c)(i).
