Payments to Lenders If a Lender (a "Recovering Lender") receives or recovers any amount from the Borrower other than in accordance with Section 4.8 (Payments, Computations, etc. ) (a "Recovered Amount") and applies that amount to a payment due under the Loan Documents then: (a) the Recovering Lender shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Facility Agent; (b) the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Lender would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with the said Section 4.8, without taking account of any taxes which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and (c) the Recovering Lender shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount (the "Sharing Payment") equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Lender as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with any applicable provisions of this Agreement.
Specific Amendments to Credit Agreement Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows: (a) The Credit Agreement is amended by adding the following definitions to Section 1.01 thereof in the appropriate alphabetical location:
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.
Reduction of Commitments Upon at least five (5) calendar days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Company shall have the right, without premium or penalty, to terminate the Commitments, in whole or in part, provided that: (i) Any such termination shall apply to ratably and permanently reduce the Commitment of each Bank, (ii) no voluntary prepayment of Bid Rate Loans will be permitted, (iii) any partial termination shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, (iv) after a partial termination of Commitments, any Bank with Bid Rate Loans outstanding in excess of its reduced Commitment will be deemed to have made a Bid Rate Loan in excess of its Commitment as provided in Section 2.01, (v) to the extent a prepayment results from a whole or partial termination of the Commitments, the Company will pay all costs relating to prepayment of a LIBOR Loan as set forth in Section 2.11 and (vi) the Company shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.06(B); and (B) If after a partial termination of the Commitments, one or more Banks has outstanding Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, in the aggregate, in excess of the such Bank's reduced Commitment then the Company shall reduce, by prepayment, the subject Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans to the amount of such Bank's Commitment on the effective date of any such partial termination; and (C) If after a partial termination of the Commitments, no Bank has outstanding Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, in the aggregate, in excess of the Bank's reduced Commitment, then, unless otherwise required under Section 2.06(B), no prepayment shall be required by the Company in connection with such partial termination of the Commitments. (D) Upon a reduction in the Commitments, the facility fee, as described in Section 2.07, will be determined based on the reduced Commitments and, accordingly, the facility fee for each Bank will be reduced.

(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Company and the Agent (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), elects to become a “Bank” under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in subsection 2.21(a) shall execute a New Bank supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New Bank”) shall become a Bank for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. (c) Initial Loans made under any such increased Commitments shall be made pursuant to funding procedures then agreed to by the Company and the Agent (including as to the initial interest applicable to such Loans), and payments of principal, interest and fees under this Agreement shall be made by the Company to give effect to such procedures and the timing of such increased Commitments.
