Equity Commitment (a) This letter agreement confirms the commitment of each Sponsor, severally and not jointly, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, simultaneous with the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), to purchase, or to cause the purchase of, at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, equity interests of Parent (or one or more affiliates of Parent organized to consummate the Merger) at a purchase price equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration and to pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent in immediately available funds at or prior to the Closing an aggregate cash purchase price for such purchase equal to the amount set forth opposite such Sponsor’s name on Schedule A hereto (such amount with respect to each Sponsor, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1(b) below, is referred to as such Sponsor’s “Equity Commitment”), which will be used by Parent solely for the purpose of funding the aggregate Merger consideration required to be paid by Parent to consummate the Merger, and all other amounts constituting the Exchange Fund pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Merger Agreement, together with related fees and expenses; provided that (i) no Sponsor shall, under any circumstances, be obligated to contribute more than its Equity Commitment to Parent, and the Sponsors, collectively, shall not, under any circumstances, be obligated to contribute more than US$79,500,000 (the “Aggregate Commitment”) to Parent; and (ii) the liability of each Sponsor hereunder shall not exceed its Equity Commitment, and the liability of the Sponsors, collectively, shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment. (b) Each Sponsor may effect the funding of its Equity Commitment directly or indirectly through one or more Affiliates of such Sponsor or any other investment fund advised, managed and/or appointed by an Affiliate of such Sponsor or any other private equity fund who is a limited partner of such Sponsor or of an Affiliate of such Sponsor. No Sponsor will be under any obligation under any circumstances to contribute more than the amount of its Equity Commitment to Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person. In the event Parent does not require an amount equal to the Aggregate Commitment in order to consummate the Merger, the amount of each Sponsor’s Equity Commitment to be funded under this letter agreement shall be reduced by Parent on a pro rata basis, to the level sufficient for, in combination with any other financing arrangements that may be contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and pay all related fees and expenses incurred or required to be paid by Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement.
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.
