Extension Option The Borrower may request that the Commitments be extended for up to two additional one year periods by providing not less than 30 days’ written notice (the date of such notice, a “Notice Date”) to the Administrative Agent prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date. If a Bank agrees, in its individual and sole discretion (and with the approval of the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, such approval, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to extend its Commitment (such Bank, an “Extending Bank”), it will notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of its decision to do so no later than 15 days after the applicable Notice Date (such extension decision, a “Commitment Extension”). The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, in writing, of the Banks’ decisions promptly upon receipt thereof and in any event not later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof. The Extending Banks’ Commitments will be extended for an additional year from the then current Maturity Date so long as (i) the Commitments of the Extending Banks (after giving effect to any assumption by any Extending Banks of Commitments of Declining Banks as described below), together with the Commitments of any New Banks that replace any Declining Banks, represent more than 50% of the Total Commitments then in effect, and (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrower to extend the Commitments, the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.3 shall be satisfied. No Commitment Extension shall result in the then-existing Maturity Date being more than five (5) years from the effective date of such Commitment Extension. No Bank shall be required to consent to any such extension request or be required to increase its Commitment. The Maturity Date with respect to any Bank that declines or does not respond to the Borrower’s request for an extension of the Commitments (a “Declining Bank”) shall remain the then-existing Maturity Date (without regard to any extension of the Commitments of other Banks); provided that the Borrower shall continue to have the right to replace any such Declining Bank (with respect to all or any portion of its Commitment) following the effectiveness of any such extension. The Borrower will have the right to accept Commitments from any Eligible Assignee that is not a Bank in an aggregate amount up to the aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Declining Banks; provided that any Eligible Assignee proposed to be substituted for a Declining Bank (unless such Eligible Assignee is an affiliate of a Bank) must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, such approval, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Borrower may only extend the Maturity Date twice during the term of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.7.
Extension Options Borrower shall have the option (the “First Extension Option”), by written notice (the “First Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date, to extend the Maturity Date to September 9, 2017 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”). In the event Borrower shall have exercised the First Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Second Extension Option”), by written notice (the “Second Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the First Extended Maturity Date, to extend the First Extended Maturity Date to September 9, 2018 (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”). In the event Borrower shall have exercised the Second Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Third Extension Option”), by written notice (the “Third Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Second Extended Maturity Date, to extend the Second Extended Maturity Date to September 9, 2019 (the “Third Extended Maturity Date”). Borrower’s right to so extend the applicable Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent prior to each extension hereunder:
Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension, Reinstatement or Renewal (i) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment of the terms and conditions, extension of the terms and conditions, extension of the expiration date, or reinstatement of amounts paid, or renewal of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall deliver (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the L/C Issuer) to the L/C Issuer and to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, extended, reinstated or renewed, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with clause (d) of this Section 2.03), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, extend, reinstate or renew such Letter of Credit. If requested by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application and reimbursement agreement on the L/C Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application and reimbursement agreement or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the L/C Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
Expansion Option The Borrower may from time to time elect to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments in minimum increments of $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree) so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $50,000,000. The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Revolving Credit Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”; provided that no Ineligible Institution may be an Augmenting Lender), which agree to increase their existing Revolving Credit Commitments, or provide new Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15. Increases and new Revolving Credit Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (or in the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 6.2 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenant contained in Section 9.3 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents and opinions consistent with those delivered on the effective date as to the organizational power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans as of the date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Credit Loans, with related LIBOR Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.9). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each LIBOR Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related LIBOR Periods. Nothing contained in this Section 2.15 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder.
Conditions Subsequent to the Initial Extension of Credit The obligation of the Lender Group (or any member thereof) to continue to make Advances (or otherwise extend credit hereunder) is subject to the fulfillment, on or before the date applicable thereto, of each of the conditions subsequent set forth below (the failure by Borrowers to so perform or cause to be performed constituting an Event of Default):

If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $15,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments.
Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) a LC Request to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time as is reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank). A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank: (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the amount thereof; (iii) the expiry date thereof; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder and (vii) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably require.

If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application substantially on the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant (solely in the case of (w) and (x) that)), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $25,000,000, (B) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments, (C) the aggregate LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall not exceed the LC Sublimit of such Issuing Bank, (D) the Revolving Exposure of such Issuing Bank does not exceed its Revolving Commitments and (E) if a Defaulting Lender exists, either such Revolving Lender or the Borrower has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender.

At any time, any Party may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such Party contained herein or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such Party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party.
