Optional Increase in Commitments Following the Effective Date, the Borrower may, if it so elects, increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments, either by designating a financial institution not theretofore a Lender (a “New Lender”) to become a Lender (such designation to be effective only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender, which consents will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), or by agreeing with an existing Lender that such Lender’s Commitment shall be increased. Upon execution and delivery by the Borrower and such Lender or New Lender of an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, together with such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the increased Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the increased Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, such existing Lender shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or such other financial institution shall become a Lender with a Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such a Commitment hereunder; provided:
(i) that the Borrower shall provide prompt notice of such increase to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the Lenders;
(ii) the conditions set forth in Sections 3.02(c) and (d) shall be satisfied on and as of the effective date of any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18;
(iii) that any such increase shall be in an amount which is a multiple of $10,000,000; and
(iv) that immediately after such increase is made, the aggregate amount of increases in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall not exceed $250,000,000. On the effective date of any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18, (i) each New Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate outstanding Loans (and funded participations, if any, in Letters of Credit) and (ii) any Lender whose Commitment has been increased (an “Increasing Lender”) shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the increase in its pro rata share of the aggregate outstanding Loans (and funded participations as above); in each case such payments shall be for the account of each other Lender. Upon receipt of such amount by the Administrative Agent, (A) each other Lender shall be deemed to have ratably assigned that portion of its outstanding Loans that is being reduced to the New Lenders and the Increasing Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s new Commitment or the increased portion thereof as applicable, (B) the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each other Lender its ratable share of the amounts received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph and (C) the participations of the Lenders in outstanding Letters of Credit shall be determined in accordance with their Commitments after giving effect to such increase. For the avoidance of doubt, no existing Lender shall have any obligation to participate in such increase except in its absolute and sole discretion.
Increase in Commitments (a) At any time prior to the Maturity Date, provided no Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Borrower may on a one time basis, if it so elects, increase the aggregate amount of the Aggregate Commitments (subject to proviso (ii) in the next sentence), either by designating an Eligible Assignee not theretofore a Lender to become a Lender and/or by agreeing with an existing Lender or Lenders that such Lender’s Commitment (or such Lenders’ Commitments) shall be increased. No Lender’s Commitment shall be increased in connection with any such increase in the Aggregate Commitments without such Lender’s consent. Upon execution and delivery by Borrower and any such Lender or other financial institution of a joinder agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, such existing Lender shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or such Eligible Assignee shall become a Lender with a Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such a Commitment hereunder; provided that:
(i) Borrower shall provide prompt notice of such increase to Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the other Lenders;
(ii) the amount of such increase does not cause the Aggregate Commitments to exceed $150,000,000 (less the amount of any reduction in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to Section 2.06); and
(iii) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000. Upon any increase in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, within five (5) Business Days (in the case of any Base Rate Loans then outstanding) or at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loans then outstanding), as applicable, each Lender’s Applicable Percentage shall be recalculated to reflect such increase in the Aggregate Commitments and the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders such that the outstanding principal amount of Loans owed to each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (as recalculated). All payments, repayments and other disbursements of funds by Administrative Agent to the Lenders shall thereupon and, at all times thereafter, be made in accordance with each Lender’s recalculated Applicable Percentage.
Termination Reduction or Increase of the Commitments (a) The Company shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days' notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and provided further that (x) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding, and (y) once terminated, a portion of a Commitment shall not be reinstated except pursuant to Section 2.05(c).
(b) If any Lender shall make a demand under Section 2.11 or 2.14 or if the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall have been suspended pursuant to Section 2.12, the Company shall have the right, upon at least ten Business Days' notice, to terminate in full the Commitment of such Lender or to demand that such Lender assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.
Increase of the Commitments (a) The Borrower may, from time to time, request by written notice to the Administrative Agent to increase the Commitments by a maximum aggregate amount for all such increases of up to $200,000,000, by designating one or more Lenders or other financial institutions (that will become Lenders), in each case, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and acceptable to the Swingline Lender and each LC Issuing Bank, in their respective sole discretion, that agree to accept all or a portion of such additional Commitments (each a “Designated Lender”).
(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Designated Lenders of the Borrower’s request pursuant to subsection (a) above. Each Designated Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent by the date specified by the Administrative Agent (which date shall be a Business Day) that either (A) such Designated Lender declines to accept its additional Commitments or (B) such Designated Lender consents to accept the offered Commitments. Any Designated Lender not responding on or prior to the date specified by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to accept the offered Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall, after receiving the notifications from all of the Designated Lenders or following the date specified in the notice to such Designated Lenders, whichever is earlier, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the results thereof and the effective date of any additional Commitments. The effectiveness of such additional Commitments shall be subject to the condition precedent that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (i) the resolutions of the Borrower authorizing such additional Commitments and all Governmental Approvals (if any) required in connection with such additional Commitments, certified as being in effect as of the effective date of such additional Commitments, (ii) a favorable opinion of counsel for the Borrower as to such matters as any Lender through the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (iii) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, dated as of the effective date of such additional Commitments, stating that all conditions precedent to an Extension of Credit have been satisfied on and as of such effective date.
(c) Promptly following the effective date of any Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.07, (i) the Administrative Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule I to this Agreement (which shall thereafter be incorporated into this Agreement) to reflect any changes in Lenders, the Commitments and each Lender’s Commitment Percentage as of such effective date and (ii) the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding Revolving Borrowings (if any) in full, and shall simultaneously make new Revolving Borrowings hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Borrowings are held ratably by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (after giving effect to such Commitment increase). Prepayments made under this clause (c) shall not be subject to the notice requirements of Section 2.14.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, from and after the date of any Commitment increase and the making of any Loans on such date pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above, all calculations and payments of fees and of interest on the Loans shall take into account the actual Commitment of each Lender and the principal amount outstanding of each Loan made by such Lender during the relevant period of time.
Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments (a) Unless previously terminated, the Facility Commitments, the Designated Currency Commitments and the Yen Commitments shall each terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Facility Commitments, the Designated Currency Commitments or the Yen Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures plus the total Competitive Loan Exposures would exceed the total Facility Commitments, (B) the Designated Currency Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Designated Currency Loans would exceed the total Designated Currency Commitments, or (C) the Yen Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Yen Loans would exceed the total Yen Commitments.
(c) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Facility Commitments, the Designated Currency Commitments or the Yen Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least one Business Day (or, to the extent a concurrent prepayment of Loans is required in accordance with Section 2.10, upon the minimum advance notice required in connection with such prepayment under such Section) prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Facility Commitments, the Designated Currency Commitments or the Yen Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Facility Commitments, the Designated Currency Commitments or the Yen Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Facility Commitments, the Designated Currency Commitments or the Yen Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders, the Designated Currency Lenders or the Yen Lenders, as the case may be, in accordance with their respective Facility Commitments, Designated Currency Commitments or Yen Commitments, as applicable.
(d) Upon at least 15 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Company shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to increase the aggregate amount of the Facility Commitments in multiples of $500,000 up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $150,000,000. Any such increase shall apply, at the option of the Company, (x) to the Facility Commitment of one or more Lenders, if such Lender or Lenders consent to such increase, or (y) to the creation of new Facility Commitments of one or more institutions not then a Lender hereunder; provided that (i) if any such institution is not then a Lender hereunder, such institution shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (ii) such existing or new Lender shall execute and deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent an Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (an “Assumption Agreement”) and (iii) if any Revolving Loans are outstanding at the time of any such increase, the Company will, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on the date of such increase incur and repay or prepay one or more Revolving Loans from the Lenders in such amounts so that after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans shall be outstanding on a pro rata basis (based on the Facility Commitments of the Lenders after giving effect to the changes made pursuant hereto on such date) from all the Lenders. Upon the effectiveness of any increase in Facility Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.08(d), Schedule 2.01(a) hereto shall be automatically amended to reflect such increase. It is understood that any increase in the amount of the Facility Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) shall not constitute an amendment or modification of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.02.
Increase in Revolving Commitments (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request that the total Revolving Commitment be increased by an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Revolving Facility Amount at such time. Upon the receipt of such request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to each Revolving Lender. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase (which shall be in minimum increments of $500,000 and a minimum amount of $2,500,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Revolving Facility Amount) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and which, in any event, must be prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), and shall offer each Revolving Lender the opportunity to increase its Revolving Commitment by its Pro Rata Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Revolving Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 10 days after the date of the Administrative Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Revolving Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each Revolving Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Revolving Lender”) or decline to increase its Revolving Commitment (and any Revolving Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment) (each Revolving Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a Non-Increasing Revolving Lender”). In the event that, on the 10th day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph, the Increasing Revolving Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase requested by the Borrower, such Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity being called an “Augmenting Revolving Lender”), which may include any Lender, to extend Revolving Commitments or increase their existing Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided, however, that each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Borrower and each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Commitment and/or its status as a Revolving Lender hereunder, Any such increase may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by the Borrower if such Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Revolving Lenders.
(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that after giving effect to any increase pursuant to this Section 2.25, the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their new Pro Rata Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Borrower, (i) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Borrowing, (ii) by causing Non-Increasing Revolving Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans to Increasing Revolving Lenders and/or Augmenting Revolving Lenders, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment or assignment described in this paragraph (b) shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Commitments shall become effective under this Section 2.25 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied (treating the effectiveness of the increase in the Revolving Commitments as a “Credit Event” for such purposes) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, and (ii) if requested, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02.
Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders (a) The Borrower may, upon at least 10 days’ written notice (or such shorter period as may be permitted by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Revolving Loan Lender), propose to (i) increase either the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or (ii) establish one or more incremental term loan commitments (any such incremental term loan commitment, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) to make an incremental term loan (any such incremental term loan, an “Incremental Term Loan”), by an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (x) the greater of (1) $300,000,000 and (2) 100% of LTM Consolidated EBITDA (as of the date incurred) and (y) if either of such increase to the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or such Incremental Term Loan is incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other Investments permitted by this Agreement, any amounts (which for purposes of clarity, do not include any amounts incurred in reliance upon clause (x) and shall not be included in Indebtedness for purposes of calculating the Leverage Ratio for purpose of this clause (y)) so long as the pro forma Leverage Ratio (determined (1) after giving effect to such acquisition and assuming that such acquisition was consummated on the first day of the most recently ended period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters and (2) in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, in accordance with Section 1.7(a)) shall not be greater than 1.75 to 1 (it being understood that the increase of Aggregate Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Loan Commitments may, at the election of the Borrower, be incurred under clause (y) of this Section 2.24(a) prior to any use of clause (x) and regardless of whether there is capacity under clause (x) hereof and if both clauses (x) and (y) are available and the Borrower does not make an election, the Borrower will be deemed to have elected clause (y)) (the amount of any such increase or incremental term loan commitment (which shall be in minimum increments of $10,000,000), the “Additional Commitment Amount”).
(b) In the case of a request to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, each Revolving Loan Lender shall have the right for a period of 5 Business Days following receipt of such notice, to elect by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to increase its Revolving Commitment by a principal amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Additional Commitment Amount. No such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall increase any of the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the LC Commitment or the Swingline Commitment.
(c) In the case of a request for Incremental Term Loan Commitments, or if any Revolving Loan Lender shall not elect to increase its Revolving Commitment pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.24, the Borrower may designate another bank or other financial institution (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agrees to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Revolving Commitment or provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (an “Additional Lender”), which at the time agrees to become a party to this Agreement, if not already a Lender; provided, however, that any new bank or financial institution must be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The sum of the increases in the Revolving Commitments of the existing Lenders pursuant to this subsection (c) plus the Revolving Commitments of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Additional Commitment Amount in the case of a request to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.
(d) No Lender (or any successor thereto) shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Commitment or its other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment, and any decision by a Lender to increase its Revolving Commitment or provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender.
(e) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or the establishment of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a supplement or joinder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent executed by the Borrower and by each Additional Lender and by each other Revolving Loan Lender whose Revolving Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new Revolving Commitments or the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, and, to the extent requested by such Additional Lender or such other Revolving Loan Lender whose Revolving Commitment is to be increased, Revolving Notes evidencing such increase in the Revolving Commitment or promissory notes evidencing the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, and such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower and the Guarantors with respect to the increase in the Revolving Commitments or the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower and the Guarantors with respect to the increase in the Revolving Commitments or the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and, in the case of the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, an amendment to this Agreement as mutually agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders or such other Lenders, in each case who are providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitment; provided that (i) the terms and conditions applicable to Incremental Term Loans may be materially different from those of the Revolving Loans to the extent such differences are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the interest rates, maturity, mandatory prepayment provisions and amortization schedule applicable to such Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders holding the Incremental Term Loan Commitments. In connection with the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything in Section 10.2 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Additional Lenders or existing Lenders participating in the Additional Commitment Amount, as applicable, may enter into such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate (in the Administrative Agent’s judgment) to incorporate the terms of Additional Commitment Amount into the terms of this Agreement, and to provide the Additional Lenders with the benefits of this Agreement that are available to the other Lenders in the same Class as such Additional Lenders.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3.2, an increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or the establishment of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall be subject to, at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such proposed increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or establishment of Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the use of the proceeds thereof, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and all representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties that are expressly qualified by a Material Adverse Effect or other materiality, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on such date, except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as of such earlier date; provided that, solely with respect to the establishment of Incremental Term Loan Commitments entered into in connection with the financing of a Limited Condition Acquisition, the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitments may agree to a “funds certain provision” that:
(ii) does not impose as a condition to funding thereof that no Default or Event of Default (other than any Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j)) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated, in which event the condition to funding thereof shall instead be that (x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Limited Condition Acquisition Test Date with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and (y) no Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated; and
(iii) provides that the only representations and warranties the making of which shall be a condition to funding thereof shall be (x) certain “specified representations” agreed to by the Lenders providing such Commitments and (y) the representations and warranties made by or with respect to the applicable target in the Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement that are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that the Borrower (or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) has the right to terminate the Borrower’s (or such Restricted Subsidiary’s) obligations under such Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement or to decline to consummate the transactions contemplated by such Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement as a result of a breach of such representations or warranties in such Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement (or the failure of such representations or warranties to be true and correct or to satisfy the closing conditions in such Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement applicable to such representations or warranties).
(f) Upon the acceptance of any such agreement by the Administrative Agent, the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount shall automatically be increased by the amount of the Revolving Commitments added through such agreement and Schedule II shall automatically be deemed amended to reflect the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Commitments of all Lenders after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Commitments.
(g) Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24 that is not pro rata among all Revolving Loan Lenders, (x) within five Business Days, in the case of any Base Rate Loans then outstanding, and at the end of the then current month with respect thereto, in the case of any Index Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Sterling then outstanding, and at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, in the case of any Eurocurrency Loans not denominated in Sterling then outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay such Loans in their entirety and, to the extent the Borrower elects to do so and subject to the conditions specified in Article 3, the Borrower shall reborrow the Revolving Loans from the Revolving Loan Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such increase, until such time as all outstanding Revolving Loans are held by the Revolving Loan Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase); provided that with respect to this subclause (x), (A) the prepayment to, and borrowing from, any existing Lender shall be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Lender will be subsequently borrowed from such Lender and (B) the existing Revolving Loan Lenders, as applicable, and the Additional Lenders shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans of such Lenders are held ratably by the Lenders of such Class in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Class of such Lenders (after giving effect to such Additional Commitment Amount), and (y) effective upon such increase, the amount of the participations held by each Revolving Loan Lender in each Letter of Credit then outstanding shall be adjusted automatically such that, after giving effect to such adjustments, the Lenders shall hold participations in each such Letter of Credit in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments.
(h) The Additional Lenders or existing Lenders providing an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be included in any determination of the Required Lenders and such Lenders will not constitute a separate voting class for any purposes under this Agreement. Any Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Loans Documents, except that such Incremental Term Loans may be subordinated in right of payment, the Liens securing such Incremental Term Loans may be subordinated or such Incremental Term Loans may be unsecured, in each case, to the extent set forth in an amendment to this Agreement as mutually agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders or such other Lenders, in each case who are providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitment.
Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments If the maturity date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(d)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.17. If, for any reason, such Cash Collateral is not provided or the reallocation does not occur, the Revolving Credit Lenders under the maturing tranche shall continue to be responsible for their participating interests in the Letters of Credit. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, the occurrence of a maturity date with respect to a given tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Credit Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such maturity date. Commencing with the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Lenders under the extended tranches.
Commitment Increase (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower shall have the right, without the consent of the Lenders, to cause an increase in the Commitments of the Lenders (a “Commitment Increase”) by adding to this Agreement one or more additional lenders that are not already Lenders hereunder and that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (each, a “CI Lender”) or by allowing one or more existing Lenders to increase their respective Commitments; provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the relevant Commitment Increase Effective Date, (ii) no such Commitment Increase shall be less than $25,000,000, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents to a smaller amount (iii) the aggregate amount of all such Commitment Increases shall not exceed $750,000,000, (iv) no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without such Lender’s prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion), (v) upon any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.02, the Multicurrency Commitments of the Lenders shall be adjusted to reflect all Lenders’ (including any CI Lender’s) Applicable Percentage of the Multicurrency Commitments at such time and (vi) if, on the effective date of such increase, any Loans have been funded, then the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any breakage fees or costs that are payable pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with the reallocation of such outstanding Loans; provided further that no Commitment Increase shall increase the Alternative Currency LC Sublimit or the total Multicurrency Commitments without the consent of each Lender.
(b) The Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with written notice (a “Notice of Commitment Increase”) in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto of its intention to increase the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.02.
