(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders and Term Lenders of each request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Revolving Credit Lender or Term Lenders that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Commitment, as applicable.

6


(c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Lenders, as applicable, are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Lenders, as applicable, are willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase on such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Lenders, as applicable, as of such Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and Administrative Agent.

(d) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in the requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.16(c) (an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Revolving Credit Lender or Term Lender, as applicable, party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Commitment, as applicable, of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Revolving Credit Lender or Term Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.16(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Assuming Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and

(ii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Commitment, as applicable, in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.16(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by telecopier or telex, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date.

 

7


(e) As a condition to the effectiveness of any increase in the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent and Arrangers such fees as required by the Fee Letter, and (ii) to each Increasing Lender or Assuming Lender, as applicable, such fees as they may require in connection therewith, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.

(f) As a condition to the effectiveness of any increase in the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders such additional documents, instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require in its sole and absolute discretion (including, without limitation, in the case of the Borrower, a Borrowing Base Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase) and the Borrower shall pay the cost of any and all intangible taxes or other documentary or mortgage taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are required to be paid in connection with such increase.

(g) On any Increase Date (i) if such increase is to the Term Commitment, the amount set forth in the Increase Notice shall become part of the Term Commitment and shall be funded by the Term Lenders or the Lenders acquiring such Term Commitment to the Administrative Agent for disbursement to the Borrower, and (ii) if such increase is to the Revolving Credit Commitment, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Advances shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders such that after the applicable Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances owed to each Revolving Credit Lender shall be equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Increase Date) of the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Advances. The participation interests of the Revolving Credit Lenders in Swing Line Facility and Letter of Credit Facility shall be similarly adjusted. On any Increase Date those Revolving Credit Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Administrative Agent and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Revolving Credit Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage is decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances. The funds so advanced shall be Base Rate Advances or Eurodollar Rate Advances, as the case may be, among all Revolving Credit Lenders based on their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.”
