Increase in Commitments (a) At any time during the period from and after the Closing Date through the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date, at the option of Borrower and with the consent of Agent, the Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount may be increased on one occasion by an amount not in excess of $20,000,000 (such increase that satisfies the terms and conditions herein, an “Approved Increase”) if and only if (i) each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied as of the Increase Effective Date, (ii) Borrower has delivered to Agent updated pro forma Projections (after giving effect to the proposed increase) for Borrower and its Subsidiaries evidencing compliance on a pro forma basis with Section 7(a) for the 12 calendar months (on a quarter-by-quarter basis) following the Increase Effective Date, in form and consent reasonably acceptable to Agent, (iii) Borrower shall have paid to Agent all fees due and payable as of the Increase Effective Date pursuant to the Fee Letter, and (iv) Agent or Borrower have obtained the commitment of one or more Lenders (or other prospective lenders) reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Borrower to provide the proposed increase. Unless waived by Agent, Borrower shall provide written notice of a proposed increase to Agent, which notice shall specify a date not less than 20 days after the date of such notice on which the proposed increase is to be effective (the “Increase Effective Date”). The proposed increase shall be in an amount of at least $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(b) Agent shall invite each Lender to increase its Commitment (it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitment), or may invite any prospective lender who is reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Borrower to become a Lender in connection with an Approved Increase by executing a joinder agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to which such prospective lender, Borrower, and Agent are party (the “Increase Joinder”). So long as each of the requirements set forth in Section 2.14(a) and this Section 2.14(b) are satisfied, the increased Commitments with respect to an Approved Increase shall become effective as of the Increase Effective Date.
(c) To the extent any Advances or Letters of Credit are outstanding on the Increase Effective Date, each of the Lenders having a Commitment prior to the Increase Effective Date (the “Pre- Increase Revolver Lenders”) shall assign to any Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Commitment on the Increase Effective Date (the “Post-Increase Revolver Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolver Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Revolver Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Advances and participation interests in Letters of Credit on such Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Advances and participation interests in Letters of Credit will be held by Pre-Increase Revolver Lenders and Post-Increase Revolver Lenders ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Share after giving effect to such increased Commitments.
(d) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in this Agreement and any other Loan Document to Advances shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include Advances made pursuant to the increased Commitments and Maximum Revolver Amount pursuant to this Section 2.14. The Advances, Commitments, and Maximum Revolver Amount established pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall constitute Advances, Commitments, and Maximum Revolver Amount under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from any guarantees and the security interests created by the Loan Documents. Borrower shall take any actions reasonably required by Agent to ensure and demonstrate that the Liens granted by the Loan Documents continue to be perfected under the Code or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Commitments and Maximum Revolver Amount.
Revolving Commitments (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Commitment Period, at such times as the Borrower may request in accordance with Section 2.2, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that (i) no Revolving Loan shall be made to the extent the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans would exceed the Total Commitments, (ii) no Borrowing Base A Loans shall be made to the extent that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Borrowing Base A Loans would exceed the aggregate Loan Value of the Pledged Eligible Assets (including the Pledged Eligible Assets referred to in Section 2.2(a)(ii) with respect to such Revolving Loan) and (iii) no Borrowing Base B Loans shall be made to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Borrowing Base B Loans would exceed the Borrowing Base B Limit; provided further that Borrowing Base B Loans may not be borrowed on any date in any rolling period of 90 consecutive days if Borrowing Base B Loans have already been outstanding for 30 days during such period. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may borrow, prepay the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrow, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Termination Date.
(c) The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Revolving Loans as required.
