• Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments (i) Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default and subject to the conditions set forth under clause (v) below, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (A) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (1) the Aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts after adjustments resulting from reductions thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(d) and (2) the then effective Borrowing Base, and (B) such increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. At the time of sending such notice, Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). (ii) Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Percentage Share of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment. (iii) The Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of the Lenders’ responses to the request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower may also invite additional Persons to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. (iv) If the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (such date, the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) notify Borrower of the final allocation of such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Increase Effective Date, and (ii) notify each Lender of its Revolving Credit Commitment as of the Increase Effective Date. (v) As a condition precedent to such increase, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Obligor dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Obligor (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Obligor approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article VII and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.03(b), the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.02 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 8.01, (B) no Default or Event of Default exists, and (C) no Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred. To the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Percentage Shares of the Lenders arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section, Borrower shall prepay Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date and/or Lenders shall make assignments pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (provided, that in each case, Borrower shall pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.05). (vi) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 4.05 or 12.04 to the contrary.
