“Section 2.17 Extension Offers.

(a) Pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Borrower to all Term Lenders holding Term Loans of a specified Class(es) with notice to the Administrative Agent, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding Term Loans) and on the same terms (‘Term Pro Rata Extension Offers’), the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Term Lenders from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Term Loans and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Term Pro Rata Extension Offer (including without limitation increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans). Pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time

 

-8-


by the Borrower to all Revolving Credit Lenders with notice to the Administrative Agent, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments) and on the same terms (‘Revolving Pro Rata Extension Offers’ and, together with Term Pro Rata Extension Offers, ‘Pro Rata Extension Offers’), the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Revolving Credit Lenders from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Revolving Pro Rata Extension Offer (including without limitation increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments). For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to “on the same terms” in the preceding sentences shall mean, (i) when comparing Term Pro Rata Extension Offers, that the Term Loans are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable in respect thereto are the same and (ii) when comparing Revolving Pro Rata Extension Offers, that the Revolving Credit Commitments are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable in respect thereto are the same. Any such extension (an ‘Extension’) agreed to between the Borrower and any such Lender (an ‘Extending Lender’) will be established under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an ‘Extension Amendment’) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Extending Lender and the Administrative Agent (which Extension Amendment, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not require the consent of any other Lender).

(b) Each Extension Amendment shall specify the terms of the applicable extended Term Loan (any such extended Term Loan, an ‘Extended Term Loan’) and/or extended Revolving Credit Commitment (any such extended Revolving Credit Commitment, an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”); provided that (i) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, subordinated collateral arrangements, if any, and subordinated voluntary and mandatory prepayment arrangements, if any (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), the Extended Term Loans shall have (x) the same terms as the Term B-4 Loans, or (y) such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity, subordinated collateral arrangements, if any, and subordinated voluntary and mandatory prepayment arrangements, if any, any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment with the same terms as the Revolving Credit Loans; provided, however, that (A) the interest rate margins for any (1) Extended Term Loan, shall not be greater than the highest interest rate margins that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to Term B-4 Loans or any other Extended Term Loans, plus in each case 25 basis points (and the interest rate margins applicable to the Term B-4 Loans or any other Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall be increased to the extent necessary to achieve the foregoing) and (2) any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, shall not be greater than the highest interest rate margins that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to any previously issued Extended Revolving Credit Commitment plus in each case 25 basis points (and the interest rate margins applicable to any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, shall be increased to the extent necessary to achieve the foregoing) and (B) solely for purposes of the foregoing clause (A), the interest rate margins applicable to any Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed to (1) include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable generally to Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments based on an assumed four-year life to maturity or any minimum Eurocurrency Rate and (2) exclude customary consent fees payable to Lenders and arrangement fees payable to arrangers in connection with such Pro Rata Extension Offer.

 

-9-


(c) Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending Lender’s Term Loan will be automatically designated an Extended Term Loan and/or such Extending Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment will be automatically designated an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, the commitments and obligations of any Swing Line Lender or L/C Issuer can only be extended pursuant to an Extension or otherwise with such Person’s consent.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation this Section 2.17), (i) no Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the aggregate amount of (A) Extended Term Loans for any new Class of Term Loans made in connection with any Pro Rata Extension Offer shall be at least $50,000,000 and (B) Extended Revolving Commitment for any new Class of Revolving Credit Commitments made in connection with any Pro Rata Extension Offer shall be at least $25,000,000, (ii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Term Loan and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment) and (iii) there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment at any time or from time to time other than notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment implemented thereby.

(e) Each extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the associated Pro Rata Extension Offer; provided that the Borrowers shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments.

(f) (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time after the Amendment Effective Date, upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, banks or other financial institutions (“New Revolving Commitment Lenders”), which may or may not be existing Lenders, may elect to provide a new Revolving Credit Commitment (a “New Revolving Credit Commitment”) hereunder; provided that, to the extent such banks or other financial institutions are not existing Lenders, such banks or institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer. Such New Revolving Credit Commitment will be in an amount (the “New Revolving Amount”) and have the terms specified in the notice to the Administrative Agent; provided that except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity, subordinated collateral arrangements, if any, and subordinated voluntary and mandatory prepayment arrangements, if any (and subject to clause (f)(iii) below), any New Revolving Credit Commitment shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment with the same terms as the Revolving Credit Loans. Upon receipt of a New Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall make a Pro Rata Extension Offer to all existing Revolving Credit Lenders to extend the maturity date of their Revolving Credit Commitments on the same terms as the New Revolving Credit Commitment (each Revolving Credit Lender that accepts such Pro Rata Extension Offer, an “Electing Lender”, and each existing Revolving Credit Lender that is not an Electing Lender, a “Non-Electing Lender”). Following such election (i)

 

-10-


the Revolving Credit Commitments of all existing Revolving Credit Lenders will be permanently reduced by an aggregate amount equal to the New Revolving Amount in the manner specified by Section 2.06(c) and (ii) the New Revolving Credit Commitment of the New Revolving Commitment Lenders will become effective and the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased by the New Revolving Amount. In connection with the foregoing, each Electing Lender may further elect with the consent of the Borrower (a “Further Election”) to provide a New Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder in an amount such that after giving effect to all New Revolving Credit Commitments, the amount of such Electing Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment will equal the amount of such Electing Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment prior to any such reduction. In the event any Electing Lender has made a Further Election, the reduction of all Revolving Credit Commitments contemplated by the second preceding sentence will instead be made in an aggregate amount to reflect the New Revolving Amount of the New Revolving Commitment Lenders and the new commitments of all Electing Lenders making a Further Election. Subject to the foregoing, the New Revolving Credit Commitments of the New Revolving Commitment Lenders and the new commitments of all Electing Lenders making a Further Election will otherwise be incorporated as Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder in the same manner in which Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are incorporated hereunder pursuant to this Section 2.17, including without limitation for purposes of Section 2.17(e).

(ii) For the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments (“Post Effectiveness”), (1) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments of all Classes derived from each Class in effect prior to such New Revolving Credit Commitments will be the same as the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments of each Class in effect prior to giving effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments (“Pre-Effectiveness”), (2) the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Electing Lenders will have Revolving Credit Commitments with the same terms as the Revolving Credit Commitment in effect Pre-Effectiveness, (3) the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Electing Lenders will have Revolving Credit Commitments with the same terms as the New Revolving Credit Commitment, (4) each Revolving Credit Lender that is an Electing Lender that has made a Further Election will have an aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments equal to the amount of Revolving Credit Commitments it had Pre-Effectiveness and (5) the New Revolving Commitment Lender will have a Revolving Credit Commitment on the terms of the New Revolving Credit Commitment in an aggregate amount equal to the New Revolving Amount.

(iii) With respect to any New Revolving Credit Commitment established after the Amendment Effective Date, other than the initial New Revolving Credit Commitment established after the Amendment Effective Date (the “Initial New Revolving Commitment”), (A) the interest rate margins for any New Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be greater than the highest interest rate margins that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to any New Revolving Commitment plus 25 basis points (and the interest rate margins applicable to any New Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased to the extent necessary to achieve the foregoing), (B) solely for purposes of the foregoing clause (A), the interest rate margins applicable to any New Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed to (1) include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable generally to Lenders providing such New Revolving Credit Commitments based on an assumed four-year life to maturity or any minimum Eurocurrency Rate and (2) exclude customary consent fees payable to Lenders and arrangement fees payable to arrangers in connection with such New Revolving Commitments.”

-13-


(b) All Term B-2 Lenders may elect (the “Electing Term Lenders”) to become Term B-4 Lenders and holders of Term B-4 Loans subject to all of the rights, obligations and conditions thereto under the Credit Agreement, as amended hereto, by executing the appropriate signature page in accordance with clause 5 hereof and delivering to the Administrative Agent such signature page (the “Term B-4 Loan Notice”) stating the amount of either (i) their Base Rate Loan (as defined under the Credit Agreement) outstanding that such Term Lender would like to extend and reclassify to a Term B-4 Base Rate Loan or (ii) their Eurocurrency Rate Loan (as defined under the Credit Agreement) outstanding that such Term Lender would like to extend and reclassify to a Term B-4 Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as applicable immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereto (the “Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount”); provided that the aggregate amount of all Term Loans that may be reclassified as Term B-4 Loans in accordance with this clause 4(b) shall not exceed $1,000,000,000 (the “Extended Term Loan Cap”). In the event that the Electing Term Lenders collectively submit Term B-4 Loan Notices prior to the Consent Deadline indicating that the aggregate Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount would exceed the Extended Term Loan Cap, such Electing Term Lenders shall be deemed to have extended and reclassified their Term B-2 Loans for either Term B-4 Base Rate Loans or Term B-4 Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, in an amount obtained by multiplying each such Electing Term Lender’s individual Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount as set forth on such Electing Term Lender’s signature page to this Amendment as of the Consent Deadline (as defined below) by the quotient obtained by dividing the Extended Term Loan Cap by the aggregate Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount of all Lenders obtained prior to the Consent Deadline, with rounding adjustments with respect to the amount to be allocated to each such Electing Term Lender as the Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion.

(c) Each Term Lender executing this Amendment as a “Term B-4 Lender” shall have received, if requested by it, one or more replacement Notes payable to the order of such Term B-4 Lender duly executed by the Borrower in substantially the form of Annex B to Amendment No. 5, as amended hereto, as the case may be, evidencing such Term Lenders’ Term B-4 Loans, as extended; provided that such Term B-4 Lender shall have returned to the Borrower any Note held by it prior to the Effective Date.

(d) The Borrower shall have paid all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP) incurred by the Administrative Agent, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Banc of America Securities LLC in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment or otherwise required to be paid in connection with this Amendment, to the extent invoiced at least one Business Day prior to the date hereof.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall have received such opinions as may reasonably be requested by it, including an opinion of Ropes & Gray LLP, New York counsel to the Loan Parties, each dated as of the Effective Date and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall have received a completed “Life-of-Loan” Federal Emergency Management Agency Standard Flood Hazard Determination with respect to each Mortgaged Property;

(g) The Administrative Agent shall have received from the Borrower a consent fee payable in Dollars for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) that has returned an executed signature page to this Amendment to the Administrative Agent at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on August 18, 2009 (the “Consent Deadline” and each such

 

-14-


Lender, a “Consenting Lender”) equal to 0.05% of the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, if any, held by such Consenting Lender as of the Consent Deadline with respect to which a consent was delivered and (y) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment, if any, of such Consenting Lender as of the Consent Deadline with respect to which a consent was delivered.

(h) The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, certifying the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement shall have been satisfied on and as of the Effective Date.

5. Effect of Amendment.

(a) Subject to Section 8 hereof, on and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as modified by this Amendment.

(b) The Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure the payment of all Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in each case, as amended by this Amendment.

(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. On and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, this Amendment shall for all purposes constitute a Loan Document.

(d) On the Effective Date: if the aggregate Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount for all Electing Term Lenders is less than or equal to the Extended Term Loan Cap, (A) each Term B-2 Lender that has executed and delivered a counterpart to this Amendment as a “Term B-4 Base Rate Lender” (each, a “Term B-4 Base Rate Lender”) and has designated on its signature page an aggregate principal amount of its Term B-2 Loan to be treated as a “Term B-4 Base Rate Loan” (a “Term B-4 Base Rate Loan”) shall have its Term B-2 Loan automatically reclassified as a Term B-4 Base Rate Loan for the purpose of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereto, in an aggregate principal amount equal to its Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount; and (B) each Term B-2 Lender that has executed and delivered a counterpart to this Amendment as a “Term B-4 Eurocurrency Rate Lender” (each, a “Term B-4 Eurocurrency Rate Lender”) and has designated on its signature page an aggregate principal amount of its Term B-2 Loan to be treated as a “Term B-4 Eurocurrency Rate Loan” (a “Term B-4 Eurocurrency Rate Loan”) shall have its Term B-2 Loan automatically reclassified as a Term B-4 Eurocurrency Rate Loan for the purpose of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereto, in an aggregate principal amount equal to its Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount; provided if the aggregate Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount for all Electing Term Lenders is greater than the Extended Term Loan Cap, such amount of Term B-4 Loans will be allocated to the Electing Term Lenders in accordance with clause 4(b) hereof.

6. Post-Effective Provisions. Each Loan Party covenants that it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable:

(a) With respect to each Mortgage encumbering Mortgaged Property, an amendment thereof (each a “Mortgage Amendment”) duly executed and acknowledged by the applicable Loan Party, and in form for recording in the recording office where each such Mortgage was recorded, together with such certificates, affidavits, questionnaires or returns as shall be required in connection with the recording or filing thereof under applicable law, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;

(b) With respect to each Mortgage Amendment, a copy of the existing mortgage title insurance policy and an endorsement with respect thereto (collectively, the “Mortgage Policy”) relating to the Mortgage encumbering such Mortgaged Property assuring the Collateral Agent that the Mortgage, as amended by the Mortgage Amendment, is a valid and enforceable first priority lien on such Mortgaged Property in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties free and clear of all Liens except as expressly permitted by Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement or by the Collateral Agent, and such Mortgage Policy shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;

(c) With respect to each Mortgage Amendment, opinions of local counsel to the Loan Parties, which opinions (a) shall be addressed to each Agent and each of the Lenders, (b) shall cover the due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of the Mortgage Amendment and such other matters incident to the transactions contemplated herein as the Agents may reasonably request and (c) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents;
