The Company shall give the Agent three (3) Business Days' prior written notice of its intent to increase the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.03(d). Such notice shall specify each new commercial bank or other financial institution, if any, the changes in amounts of Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts that will result, and such other information as is reasonably requested by the Agent. Each new commercial bank or other financial institution, and each Bank agreeing to increase its Maximum Credit Amount, shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Acceptance Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F pursuant to which it becomes a party hereto or increases its Maximum Credit Amount, as the case may be, which document, in the case of a new commercial bank or other financial institution, shall (among other matters) specify the Applicable Lending Office of such new commercial bank or other financial institution. In addition, the Agent shall prepare and deliver to the Company and each Bank a new Annex I reflecting the new Percentage Share of each Bank and its Maximum Credit Amount. Finally, the Company shall execute and deliver a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A, in the principal amount of the Maximum Credit Amount of each new commercial bank or other financial institution, or a replacement Note in the principal amount of the increased Maximum Credit Amount of each Bank agreeing to increase its Maximum Credit Amount, as the case may be. The Company shall also deliver other documents of the nature referred to in Section 6.01(a) to the Agent in such form and substance as may be reasonably required by it. Upon execution and delivery of the appropriate documentation and the delivery to it of its Note, such new commercial bank or other financial institution shall constitute a "Bank" hereunder with a Maximum Credit Amount as specified in the new Annex I delivered pursuant to this Section 2.03(d), or such Bank's Maximum Credit Amount shall increase as specified therein, as the case may be.
