Credit Agreement Amendments As of the Effective Date, a. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions:
AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS This Agreement may be amended at any time by written instrument duly approved by the President or President's designee and accepted by Faculty Member; provided, however, no such written instrument shall be required for any increase in Faculty Member's salary or any improvement to the fringe benefits of Faculty Member's employment, or for promotion in rank, any of which may be accomplished at any time by official action of the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska (Board) without the necessity for written modification or amendment of this Agreement. This Agreement and Appendix “A” attached hereto constitute the entire agreement between the parties. This Agreement supersedes all previous agreements between or among the parties. There are no agreements, representations or warranties between or among the parties other than those set forth in this Agreement or the documents and agreements referred to in this Agreement.
Waiver; Amendments (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. (b) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, or the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that, in addition to the consent of the Required Lenders, no amendment, waiver or consent shall: (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; (ii) increase the Borrowing Base without the written consent of each Lender; (iii) modify Section 2.4 in any manner without the consent of each Lender; provided that a Scheduled Redetermination may be postponed by the Required Lenders; (iv) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender entitled to such payment; (v) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Lender entitled to such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of the Commitment of any Lender, without the written consent of such Lender; (vi) change Section 2.20(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender; (vii) change any of the provisions of this subsection (b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of this Agreement specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Lender; (viii) release all or substantially all of the guarantors, or limit the liability of such guarantors, under any guaranty agreement guaranteeing any of the Obligations, without the written consent of each Lender; or (ix) release all or substantially all collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations, without the written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of such Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended, and amounts payable to such Lender hereunder may not be permanently reduced, without the consent of such Lender (other than reductions in fees and interest in which such reduction does not disproportionately affect such Lender). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 10.3), such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and such Lender shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.
Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement Effective on (and subject to the occurrence of) the Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended in accordance with this Part II. Except as so amended, the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
Refinancing Amendments (a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Other Term Loans to refinance all or any portion of the applicable Class or Classes of Loans then outstanding under this Agreement which will be made pursuant to Other Term Loan Commitments, pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Other Term Loans (i) may rank equal in priority in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii)(A) will have interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment terms and premiums as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Other Term Loans in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, (iii) may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iv) will have a final maturity date no earlier than, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity equal to or greater than, the Loans being refinanced (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Loans prior to the time of such refinancing) and (v) will have such other terms and conditions (other than as provided in foregoing clauses (ii) through (iv)) that are identical in all material respects to, or (taken as a whole) are no more restrictive on the Borrower than those applicable to the Loans being refinanced (provided that such terms shall not be deemed to be “more restrictive” solely as a result of the inclusion in the documentation governing such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans of a Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall be given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of each Facility); provided, further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date in respect of Term Loans that is in effect immediately prior to the date in respect of the Class of Loans being refinanced that is in effect on the date such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans are incurred or obtained. Any Other Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments under Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iii)(A), as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment. In connection with any Refinancing Amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Other Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. (b) Each Class of Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.13 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Other Term Loans and/or Other Term Loan Commitments as Loans and Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13. (c) This Section 2.13 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.13 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Refinancing Amendment shall effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all Lenders pursuant to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 10.01, unless each such Lender has, or all such Lenders have, as the case may be, given its or their consent to such amendment. No Lender shall be under any obligation to provide any Other Term Loan Commitment unless such Lender executes a Refinancing Amendment.
