Extension of the Stated Termination Date. (a) Unless the Termination Date previously shall have occurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, at least 30 days but not more than 45 days before any Extension Date, the Borrowers may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (any such notice being irrevocable), request that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders extend the Stated Termination Date for a period of one year. If the Borrowers shall make such request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly inform the Lenders thereof. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of its agreement so to extend the Stated Termination Date at least 20 days prior to such Extension Date, and, no later than 15 days prior to such Extension Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers in writing if the Lenders holding sufficient Commitments (determined per the last sentence of this subsection (a)) consent to such request. The granting of any such consent shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of each Lender (each Lender that consents being an “Extending Lender” and each Lender that does not consent, or that does not notify the Administrative Agent of its consent to any request for extension, being a “Declining Lender”), and if the Administrative Agent shall not so notify the Borrowers, such lack of notification shall be deemed to be a determination not to consent to such request. Any extension pursuant to this Section shall be effective only if (i) the sum of the Commitments, immediately following the effectiveness of any proposed extension, of (A) Extending Lenders and (B) third party financial institutions that become Lenders by accepting Commitments from Declining Lenders would exceed 50% of the Total Commitment in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of any proposed extension (ii) no Unmatured Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (iii) all representations and warranties contained in Section 6.01 are true and correct on the Stated Termination Date as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of such proposed extension. (b) The Commitment of each Declining Lender automatically will terminate on the Stated Termination Date as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of such extension. If there shall be any Declining Lenders, (i) Extending Lenders will have the right to increase their Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Commitments of such Declining Lenders and, (ii) if the aggregate amount of such increase in Commitments is less than the aggregate Commitments of such Declining Lenders, the Borrowers will have the right to accept commitments from third party financial institutions acceptable to the Administrative Agent in an amount not greater than the amount of such shortfall. Any such increase in Commitments or accession of third party financial institutions shall be made via an Assignment and Assumption and shall be effective on the Stated Termination Date as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of such extension. (c) The Borrowers may extend the Stated Termination Date pursuant to this Section only twice.
