WHEREAS, the Borrower intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”) Elastica, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Target”), through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Willow Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 4, 2015, by and among the Borrower, Merger Sub, the Target and the Representative identified therein (together with the schedules and exhibits thereto, and as may be amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time in accordance with Section 6(c) of this Agreement, the “Acquisition Agreement”);

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may establish New Term Loan Commitments by, among other things, entering into one or more Joinder Agreements with New Term Loan Lenders;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Acquisition, the Borrower has requested New Term Loan Commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $225,000,000 (the “New Term Loan Commitments”), which will be available on the Effective Date (as defined below) and which New Term Loan Commitments shall constitute New Term Loan Commitments under the Credit Agreement, and the loans thereunder (the “New Term Loans”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the New Term Loan Commitments, the Borrower has requested, and the Administrative Agent has agreed to, an amendment of the Credit Agreement to extend the applicable period for the prepayment premium set forth in Section 5.1(b) of the Credit Agreement from six-months after the Closing Date to six-months after the Effective Date; and

WHEREAS, the New Term Loan Lender party hereto hereby commits to provide its New Term Loan Commitment as set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Term Loan Increase.

 

(a) Pursuant to Section 2.14(a) and (d) of the Credit Agreement, upon the funding of the New Term Loans on the Effective Date, the New Term Loans shall be deemed a Term Loan Increase and automatically and without further action by any Person shall constitute additional Initial Term Loans (and shall have the same terms as the Initial Term Loans (including the same Applicable Margin)) for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (other than to the extent a reference to the Initial Term Loans in the Credit Agreement or such other Credit Documents is qualified by reference to the Closing Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all references to the Initial Term Loans in Section 6 of the Credit Agreement)).

 

(b) Pursuant to Section 2.14(d) of the Credit Agreement, (i) the scheduled amortization payments in respect of Initial Term Loans under Section 2.5(b) of the Credit Agreement shall be automatically ratably increased as a result of the incurrence of the New Term Loans (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the reference in Section 2.5(b) to “the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date” shall be deemed to include the aggregate principal amount of New Term Loans outstanding on the Effective Date) and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that the New Term Loans are included in each repayment of Initial Term Loans on a pro rata basis (with the New Term Loans being fungible with the Initial Term Loans). Any remaining outstanding amount of New Term Loans shall be repaid in full on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date.

 

(c) Scheduled installments of the principal of the New Term Loans set forth above shall be reduced by the amount of the relevant scheduled principal payment that has been prepaid or deemed prepaid in accordance with Section 2.5(b) of the Credit Agreement.

 

(d) In the event that, prior to the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower (i) makes any prepayment of New Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction the primary purpose of which is to decrease the Effective Yield on such New Term Loans or (ii) effects any amendment of the Credit Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction the primary purpose of which is to decrease the Effective Yield on the New Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, (x) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal amount of New Term Loans being prepaid in connection with such Repricing Transaction and (y) in the case of clause (ii), a premium equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of the New Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment that are subject to an effective pricing reduction pursuant to such Repricing Transaction.

 

(e) The New Term Loan Commitments provided for hereunder shall terminate on the Effective Date immediately upon the borrowing of the New Term Loans.
