Increase in Underwriters’ Commitments Subject to Sections 6 and 7 hereof, if any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to take up and pay for the Firm Shares to be purchased by it hereunder (otherwise than for a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6 hereof or a reason sufficient to justify the termination of this Agreement under the provisions of Section 7 hereof) and if the number of Firm Shares which all Underwriters so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for does not exceed 10% of the total number of Firm Shares, the non-defaulting Underwriters (including the Underwriters, if any, substituted in the manner set forth below) shall take up and pay for (in addition to the aggregate number of Firm Shares they are obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 1 hereof) the number of Firm Shares agreed to be purchased by all such defaulting Underwriters, as hereinafter provided. Such Shares shall be taken up and paid for by such non-defaulting Underwriters in such amount or amounts as you may designate with the consent of each Underwriter so designated or, in the event no such designation is made, such Shares shall be taken up and paid for by all non-defaulting Underwriters pro rata in proportion to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of such non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule A. Without relieving any defaulting Underwriter from its obligations hereunder, the Company agrees with the non-defaulting Underwriters that it will not sell any Firm Shares hereunder unless all of the Firm Shares are purchased by the Underwriters (or by substituted Underwriters selected by you with the approval of the Company or selected by the Company with your approval). If a new Underwriter or Underwriters are substituted by the Underwriters or by the Company for a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters in accordance with the foregoing provision, the Company or you shall have the right to postpone the time of purchase for a period not exceeding five business days in order that any necessary changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and other documents may be effected. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include any Underwriter substituted under this Section 8 with like effect as if such substituted Underwriter had originally been named in Schedule A hereto. If the aggregate number of Firm Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase exceeds 10% of the total number of Firm Shares which all Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, and if neither the non-defaulting Underwriters nor the Company shall make arrangements within the five business day period stated above for the purchase of all the Firm Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate without further act or deed and without any liability on the part of the Company to any Underwriter and without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter to the Company. Nothing in this paragraph, and no action taken hereunder, shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
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.
