At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders of Notes representing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class, acting together as a single Class, without the consent of the Certificateholder, in each case, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(a) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:
(i) all payments of principal of and interest on the respective Class of Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or in accordance with the terms of the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

The Borrowers may make such request in a notice given as herein provided and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.8(a) (the “Extension of Maturity Date Request”) to the Administrative Agent not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date, so long as (i) each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 7 and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such notice and as of the commencement date of the relevant Extension Period as if made on and as of each date (or, if any such representation and warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date) and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such notice and as of the commencement date of the relevant Extension Period. Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall, not later than a date 30 days after its receipt of any such notice from the Administrative Agent, notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its election to extend or not to extend the Existing Maturity Date with respect to its Commitment. Any Lender which shall not timely notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of its election to extend the Existing Maturity Date shall be deemed not to have elected to extend the Existing Maturity Date with respect to its Commitment (any Lender who timely notifies the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of an election not to extend or fails to timely notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of its election being referred to as a “Terminating Lender” and all such Lenders, collectively, the “Terminating Lenders”). The election of any Lender to agree to a requested extension shall not obligate any other Lender to agree to such requested extension.
(b) If and only if (i) one or more Lenders shall have agreed in writing during the 30 day period referred to in Section 2.8(a) to extend the Existing Maturity Date and (ii) the Borrowers shall have submitted to the Administrative Agent, on the commencement date of the relevant Extension Period, a certificate of the Borrowers, substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.8(b) (the “Extension of Maturity Date Certificate”), stating that (x) the representations and warranties made by each Borrower in or pursuant to the Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date thereof (or, if any such representation and warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date) and (y) no Default or Event of Default by each Borrower has occurred and is continuing, then (A) the Commitments of the Lenders other than Terminating Lenders (the “Continuing Lenders”, each a “Continuing Lender”) shall, subject to the other provisions of this Credit Agreement, be extended to the Requested Maturity Date specified in the Extension of Maturity Date Request from the Borrowers, and as to such Lenders the term “Maturity Date”, as used herein, shall on and after the date as of which the requested extension is effective mean such Requested Maturity Date, provided that if such date is not a Business Day, then such Requested Maturity Date shall be the next succeeding Business Day and (B) the Commitments and L/C Commitment share (if applicable) of the Terminating Lenders shall continue until the Existing Maturity Date and shall then terminate, and as to the Terminating Lenders, the term “Maturity Date”, as used herein, shall continue to mean the Existing Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify (x) the Lenders of any Extension of Maturity Date Request, (y) the Lenders and the Borrowers of any extension of the Existing Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.8 and (z) the Borrowers and the Lenders of any Lender which becomes a Terminating Lender.
(c) In the event that the Maturity Date shall have been extended for the Continuing Lenders in accordance with paragraph 2.8(b) above and, in connection with such extension, there are Terminating Lenders, the Borrowers may, at their own expense and in their sole discretion and prior to the Existing Maturity Date, require any Terminating Lender to transfer and assign its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement in accordance with Section 4.5 to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations and that shall agree that its Commitment will expire on the Maturity Date in effect for Continuing Lenders; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall have given written notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of an assignee that is not a Lender. Any such Eligible Assignee’s initial Maturity Date shall be the Maturity Date in effect for the Continuing Lenders at the time of such assignment. The Borrowers shall not be permitted to require a Lender to assign any part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.8(c) unless the Borrowers have notified such Lender of their intention to require the assignment thereof at least ten days prior to the proposed assignment date. Any Eligible Assignee which becomes a Lender as a result of such an assignment made pursuant to this Section 2.8(c) shall be deemed to have consented to the applicable Extension of Maturity Date Request and, therefore, shall not be a Terminating Lender.
(d) Revolving Loans or L/C Obligations owing to any Terminating Lender on the Existing Maturity Date with respect to such Terminating Lender shall be repaid in full, with accrued interest and all other amounts then due and owing thereon, on the Existing Maturity Date with respect to such Terminating Lender.
