Additional Commitment Parties Clause Samples

The "Additional Commitment Parties" clause defines the process and conditions under which new lenders or participants can join an existing financing arrangement. Typically, this clause outlines the requirements for admitting additional parties, such as obtaining consent from existing lenders or the borrower, and may specify the documentation or procedures needed for such inclusion. By establishing a clear framework for expanding the lender group, this clause ensures flexibility in funding and helps accommodate future financing needs without renegotiating the entire agreement.
Additional Commitment Parties. Holders of Allowed Second Lien Notes Claims and Allowed Class 5B Claims may, in their sole discretion, elect to participate in the rights and obligations set forth by this Agreement as an Additional Commitment Party (to the extent they meet the qualifications set forth in the definition of such term) until the date that is twenty (20) Business Days following the Debtors’ filing of the PPA and BCA Approval Motion (the “Backstop Enrollment Outside Date”). All holders of Eligible Backstop Claims electing to become Additional Commitment Parties must execute a joinder to this Agreement pursuant to an agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B hereto or otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company (a “Joinder Agreement”) and a joinder to the Plan Support Agreement. Any Additional Commitment Parties that become a Commitment Party pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on December 30, 2016 following the execution of this Agreement (excluding any Defaulting Commitment Party) is deemed to be a “Phase Two Commitment Party”. Each Phase Two Commitment Party shall report its Phase Two Party Claim Amount, and each Additional Commitment Party shall report its Additional Commitment Party Claim Amount, to the Claims and Balloting Agent promptly after becoming a Phase Two Commitment Party or Additional Commitment Party, as the case may be, but in no event later than the Backstop Enrollment Outside Date.

Related to Additional Commitment Parties

  • Additional Commitments The Parties may negotiate commitments with respect to measures affecting trade in services not subject to scheduling under Article 106 (National Treatment) or Article 107 (Market Access), including those regarding qualifications, standards or licensing matters. Such commitments shall be inscribed in a Party's Schedule.

  • Additional Commitment Lenders The Company shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Maturity Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions that are not Ineligible Institutions (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) approved by the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 2.19(b), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04, with the Company or replacement Lender obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the applicable Maturity Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date). Prior to any Non-Extending Lender being replaced by one or more Additional Commitment Lenders pursuant hereto, such Non-Extending Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, by giving irrevocable notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Company (which notice shall set forth such Lender’s new Maturity Date), to become an Extending Lender, provided that the Company consents thereto in writing in its sole discretion. The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide for any such extensions with the consent of the Company but without the consent of any other Lenders.

  • Additional Lenders (a) For a period of 60 days after extension of a Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.16(a) that has resulted in a reduction of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders, the Borrower may request that one or more additional banks or other Persons (each, an "Additional Lender") become party to this Agreement as Lenders and that the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders be increased to reflect the Commitments allocated to each such Additional Lender; provided, that the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders after giving effect to such increase shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders immediately prior to such former Termination Date. Addition of an Additional Lender shall be made only with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and with the written consent of the Borrower (which consent may be granted or withheld in its absolute discretion). Each Additional Lender must be an Eligible Assignee and, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the initial Commitment of each Additional Lender shall not be less than $10,000,000. (b) Addition of an Additional Lender shall be effected by the Additional Lender executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, a duly completed Additional Lender Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit G attached hereto. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmittal to such Additional Lender a Note in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto in the amount of the Commitment of such Additional Lender. Acceptance by the Administrative Agent of an Additional Lender is subject to the conditions that the Administrative Agent shall have received, with a counterpart for each Lender, (i) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, dated the effective date of such Additional Lender Supplement, as to the accuracy, both before and after giving effect to such proposed addition, of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.01 and as to the absence, both before and after giving effect to such proposed extension, of any Event of Default or event that with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, (ii) certified copies of all corporate and governmental approvals, if any, required to be obtained by the Borrower in connection with such proposed addition, (iii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower (who shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as to the matters set forth in Exhibit D (appropriately modified to include, in addition to the other matters set forth therein, such Additional Lender Supplement and the new Note), and such other matters as any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, may reasonably request, and (iv) such other certificates and documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all of the foregoing to be satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent. Upon execution and delivery of the Additional Lender Supplement, acceptance by the Administrative Agent and recording in the Register, from and after the effective date specified in such Additional Lender Supplement, such Additional Lender shall be a party hereto and shall, to the extent of the Commitment specified in such Additional Lender Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder. (c) If, at the time an Additional Lender is to become party to this Agreement, the continuing Lenders have any outstanding Advances, such Additional Lender shall offer to purchase from each continuing Lender, effective as of the date such Additional Lender becomes party to this Agreement, a portion of each continuing Lender's outstanding Advances, in such amounts as will have the result that, immediately after giving effect to such Additional Lender becoming party to this Agreement and to such purchases, each Lender (including the Additional Lender) shall share in the outstanding Advances in the same proportion as their respective Commitments. The Additional Lender shall offer in writing to purchase the requisite portion of each continuing Lender's outstanding Advances, at a price equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase, and a continuing Lender shall not unreasonably decline to accept such offer. Each such purchase shall be made in accordance with Section 8.07 (with the related Assignment and Acceptance modified, mutatis mutandis, to reflect that such purchase is not a purchase of any portion of the Commitment of the continuing Lender). Such purchases shall not be subject to the provisions of clause (ii) of Section 8.07(a), and the Borrower shall be responsible for all amounts payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 8.07(a). The Borrower shall pay to each continuing Lender on demand any amount that would be payable to such continuing Lender pursuant to Section 8.04(b) (which for this purpose shall be applied as if such assignment were a prepayment of the Advances assigned by such continuing Lender), and shall reimburse each continuing Lender on demand for all reasonable fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by it in connection with such assignment.

  • Incremental Commitments (1) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments not to exceed $100,000,000 from one or more Eligible Assignees, in each case, that is a Farm Credit Lender (which, in each case, may include any existing Lender (but no such Lender shall be required to participate in any such Incremental Term Loan without its consent) and shall be subject to such consents, if any, as would be required in connection with an assignment of a Term Loan to such Person) willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans in their sole discretion (such Lenders, the “Incremental Term Loan Lenders”). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and minimum increments of $10,000,000, or remaining permitted amount or, in each case, such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent), (ii) whether the Incremental Term Loans to be borrowed pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be an increase in any existing Class of Term Loans or a new Class of Term Loans and (iii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, be not less than ten Business Days after the date such notice is delivered). (2) The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and any other Person whose consent is required as provided above shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Additional Credit Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment. Each Additional Credit Extension Amendment pursuant to this clause (d) shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Term Loans; provided that: (i) the Incremental Term Loans shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiaries of the Borrower that do not guarantee the existing Loans and shall be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral (and no additional collateral) securing the then existing Obligations; (ii) (A) the Maturity Date of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date and (B) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then outstanding Class of Term Loans; (iii) no Incremental Term Loan shall participate on a greater than pro rata basis with the then outstanding Term Loans in any mandatory prepayment; (iv) Incremental Term Loans shall have such interest rates, optional prepayment provisions and fees as may be agreed between the Lenders providing the applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the Borrower (except that any Incremental Term Loans forming an addition to an existing Class of Term Loans shall have the same interest rates, optional prepayment provisions and fees (other than upfront fees) as the applicable existing Class of Term Loans); (v) subject to the above, any Incremental Term Loans shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan; provided that, the terms applicable to any such Incremental Term Loans (except as expressly permitted above and except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the then Latest Maturity Date) are not, taken as a whole, materially more restrictive to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, than the terms applicable to the then outstanding Commitments and Loans, as reasonably determined by the Borrower (except to the extent that this Agreement is amended (which shall not require the consent of any Lender) to incorporate such more restrictive provisions for the benefit of the then existing Lenders); and (vi) subject to Section 1.06, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.01(b) unless (w) no Default or Event of Default shall exist giving pro forma effect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the incurrence of Indebtedness thereunder and use of proceeds therefrom; (x) the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 5.02 are satisfied whether or not a Credit Extension is made on such date (and, only to the extent a Borrowing is made on such date, clause (c) is required to be complied with); (y) on a Pro Forma Basis, giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans and the incurrence of Indebtedness thereunder (assuming that such commitments are fully drawn on such date) and use of proceeds therefrom, the Borrower would be in compliance with Section 8.11 and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents and legal opinions as to such matters as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. Upon any increase of any existing Class of Term Loans, the Lenders shall take any action as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure that the Borrowings of such Class are held by the Lenders of such Class on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective amount of Term Loans of such Class held by each Lender.

  • Incremental Lenders Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Incremental Revolving Commitments may be provided, by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Commitment (or Incremental Loan), nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Commitment (or Incremental Loan)) or by any Additional Lender (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Loan or Commitment, an “Incremental Term Lender” or “Incremental Revolving Lender,” as applicable, and, collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”); provided that (i) the Administrative Agent or, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitments only, each Issuing Bank, shall have consented (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender, (ii) with respect to Incremental Term Commitments, any Affiliated Lender providing an Incremental Term Commitment shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in Section 10.07(h) as they would otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment to such Affiliated Lender of Term Loans and (iii) Affiliated Lenders may not provide Incremental Revolving Commitments.
