• Term Commitment Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, (i) the Fronting Bank severally agrees, to the extent, in each case, that the Administrative Agent has received corresponding payments from other Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) below, to make available to the Borrower up to seven (7) advances of term loans in Dollars ("Delayed-Draw Term Loans") from time to time from the Closing Date until the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date and (ii) each Lender severally agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to purchase from the Fronting Bank such Lender's Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Percentage of each such Delayed-Draw Term Loan advanced by the Fronting Bank; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Delayed-Draw Term Loans shall not exceed SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($75,000,000) (as such aggregate maximum amount may be reduced from time to time as provided in Section 3.4, the "Delayed-Draw Term Loan Committed Amount") and (ii) with regard to each Lender individually, such Lender shall not be required to purchase outstanding Delayed-Draw Term Loans in an aggregate amount exceeding such Lender's Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Committed Amount. Delayed-Draw Term Loans may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request (subject to the terms of this Section 2.3); provided, however, that no more than ten (10) Eurodollar Loans which are Delayed-Draw Term Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time (it being understood that, for purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they begin on the same date, although borrowings, extensions and conversions may, in accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a single Interest Period). Amounts repaid or prepaid on the Delayed-Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

• Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders (a) From time to time after the Closing Date and in accordance with this Section, the Borrower and one or more Increasing Lenders or Additional Lenders (each as defined below) may enter into an agreement to increase the aggregate Revolving Commitments hereunder (each such increase, an “Incremental Commitment”) so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

• L/C Commitment (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue Letters of Credit upon the request and for the account of the Borrower (and for the benefit of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower) on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of Credit if, (i) after giving effect to such issuance, (A) the L/C Exposure would exceed the L/C Commitment or (B) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero or (C) unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Lender, the L/C Exposure with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed such Issuing Lender’s Specified L/C Commitment or (ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 5.2 shall not have been satisfied. On the Restatement Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for the account of the Borrower. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended, so long as the Available Revolving Commitments of all Continuing Lenders would equal or exceed zero following such extension); provided, however, that any Letter of Credit, whether newly requested or an existing Letter of Credit that is extended or automatically renewed, may have an expiration date after the Revolving Termination Date (so long as such expiration date remains in compliance with clause (x) above) so long as the Borrower cash collateralizes such Letter of Credit at 101% of the available face amount of such Letter of Credit on or prior to the date which is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date and the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Lender providing such Letter of Credit agree to such expiration date at the time such Letter of Credit or extension is requested or at the time such existing Letter of Credit is to be automatically renewed, as applicable; provided further that any Letter of Credit (other than a Letter of Credit to which Section 2.18(c)(ii) applies) with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall only extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above if the condition described in the first proviso of this sentence is satisfied).

• Term Commitments Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Term Commitment of such Lender. The Term Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.12.

• Increase of Commitment Increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender hereunder without the consent of such Lender;

• Incremental Term Loan Commitments (a) Lead Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that one or more Lenders (or one or more Eligible Transferees who will become Lenders) provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to the Borrowers and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the relevant Incremental Term Loan Amendment, make Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a result of any such request by Lead Borrower, (ii) any Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars, (iv) the amount of Incremental Term Loan Commitments made available pursuant to a given Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment thereunder (including Eligible Transferees who will become Lenders) of at least $25,000,000, (v) the aggregate principal amount of any Incremental Term Loans on the date of the incurrence thereof shall not exceed, when taken together with any incurrence of Permitted Pari Passu Notes or Permitted Junior Debt pursuant to Section 10.04(xxvii)(A)(1) on such date, (x) the then-remaining Fixed Dollar Incremental Amount as of the date of incurrence plus (y) subject to the satisfaction of the applicable Incurrence-Based Incremental Facility Test, any Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount that may be incurred thereunder on such date, (vi) the proceeds of all Incremental Term Loans incurred by the Borrowers may be used for any purpose not prohibited under this Agreement, (vii) Lead Borrower shall specifically designate, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, the Tranche of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche shall be a new Tranche (i.e., not the same as any existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Term Loan Commitments or other Term Loans), unless the requirements of Section 2.15(c) are satisfied), which designation shall be set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment, (viii) if to be incurred as a new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, such Incremental Term Loans shall have the same terms as each other Tranche of Term Loans as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the relevant Incremental Term Loan Agreement, except as to purpose (which is subject to the requirements of the preceding clause (vi)) and optional prepayment provisions and mandatory prepayment provisions (which are governed by Section 5.02; provided that each new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to share in mandatory prepayments on a ratable basis with the other Tranches of Term Loans (unless the holders of the Incremental Term Loans of any Tranche agree to take a lesser share of any such prepayments)); provided, however, that (I) the maturity and amortization of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ, so long as such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have (a) a Maturity Date of no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date as of the date such Indebtedness was incurred and (b) a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity as then in effect for the Tranche of then outstanding Term Loans with the then longest Weighted Average Life to Maturity (in each case of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), excluding for this purpose, interim loan financings that provide for automatic rollover, subject to customary conditions, to Indebtedness otherwise meeting the requirements of this clause (I)), (II) the Effective Yield applicable to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ from that applicable to the then outstanding Tranches of Term Loans, with the Effective Yield applicable thereto to be specified in the respective Incremental Term Loan Amendment; provided, however, that if the Effective Yield for any such Incremental Term Loans incurred prior the date that is six (6) months after the First Restatement Effective Date, exceeds the Effective Yield then applicable to any then outstanding Initial Term Loans by more than 0.75% per annum, the Applicable Margins for all then outstanding Initial Term Loans shall be increased as of such date in accordance with the requirements of the definition of “Applicable Margin” and (III) such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may have other terms (other than those described in preceding clauses (I) and (II)) that may differ from those of other Tranches of Term Loans, including, without limitation, as to the application of optional or voluntary prepayments among the Incremental Term Loans and the existing Term Loans, in each case, taken as a whole, that are not materially more favorable to the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans than the provisions applicable to the existing Term Loans or as are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ix) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) incurred by the Borrowers shall be Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the Security Agreements, and guaranteed under each relevant Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Term Loans secured by the Security Agreement and guaranteed under each such Guaranty, (x) each Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Amendment as provided in Section 2.01(b) and such Term Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and (xi) all Incremental Term Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied.

• Term Loan Commitment As to each Term Loan Lender, the amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans from time to time outstanding to the Borrower.

• Increase in Commitment At any time during the Commitment Increase Period, Borrower may request that Agent increase the Total Commitment Amount from the Closing Commitment Amount up to an amount that shall not exceed the Maximum Commitment Amount. Each such increase shall be in an amount of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), increased by increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and may be made by either (i) proportionally increasing, for one or more Lenders, with their prior written consent, their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, or (ii) including one or more Additional Lenders, each with a new Revolving Credit Commitment, as a party to this Agreement (collectively, the “Additional Commitment”). During the Commitment Increase Period, the Lenders agree that Agent, in its sole discretion, may permit one or more Additional Commitments upon satisfaction of the following requirements: (A) each Additional Lender, if any, shall be an Eligible Transferee and shall execute an Additional Lender Assumption Agreement, (B) Agent shall provide to Borrower and each Lender a revised Schedule 1 to this Agreement, including revised Commitment Percentages for each of the Lenders, if appropriate, at least three Business Days prior to the effectiveness of such Additional Commitments (each an “Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date”), and (C) Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such replacement or additional Revolving Credit Notes as shall be required by Agent (and requested by the Lenders). The Lenders hereby authorize Agent to execute each Additional Lender Assumption Agreement on behalf of the Lenders. On each Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date, the Lenders shall make adjustments among themselves with respect to the Revolving Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, facility fees, utilization fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of Agent, in order to reallocate among such Lenders such outstanding amounts, based on the revised Commitment Percentages and to otherwise carry out fully the intent and terms of this Section 2.9(b). Borrower shall not request any increase in the Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) if a Default or an Event of Default shall then exist, or immediately after giving effect to any such increase would exist.

• Increase in Commitments At any time following the Agreement Date and prior to the Termination Date the aggregate amount of the Commitments may, at the option of the Borrower, be increased by an amount not in excess of $200,000,000, either by new Banks establishing such additional Commitments or by one or more then-existing Banks increasing their Commitments (each such increase by either means, a "Commitment Increase," and each such new Bank or Bank increasing its Commitment, an "Additional Commitment Bank"); provided that (a) each Additional Commitment Bank shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, (b) no Default shall exist immediately prior to or after the effective date of such Commitment Increase, (c) each such Commitment Increase shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000 and multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, (d) no such Commitment Increase shall become effective unless and until the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Additional Commitment Banks shall have executed and delivered an agreement substantially in the form of Schedule 1.09 (a "Commitment Increase Supplement"), and (d) the increase in the Total Commitments shall not exceed $200,000,000. On the effective date of such Commitment Increase, each Additional Commitment Bank shall purchase, for assignment, from each other existing Bank the portion of such other Bank's RC Loans and Letter of Credit Participations outstanding at such time such that, after giving effect to such assignments, the respective aggregate amount of RC Loans and Letter of Credit Participations of each Bank shall be equal to such Bank's pro rata share (based on the total Commitments, as increased pursuant hereto) of the aggregate RC Loans and Letter of Credit Participations outstanding. The purchase price for the RC Loans and Letter of Credit Participations so assigned shall be the principal amount of the RC Loans and unreimbursed Drawings so assigned plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon on the date of assignment. Upon payment of such purchase price, each other Bank shall be automatically deemed to have sold and made such an assignment to such Additional Commitment Bank and shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, and such Additional Commitment Bank shall be automatically deemed to have purchased and assumed such an assignment from each other Bank and, if not already a Bank hereunder, shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement.

• 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”).
