Within ten Business Days of the receipt by the Agent of an Accordion Notice requesting participation by the Lenders, each Lender shall advise the Agent as to whether or not it intends to participate in such increase of the Credit Facility. If such advice is not received from a Lender within such ten Business Day period, then such Lender will be deemed not to have agreed to participate in the increase. In the event that not all of the Lenders agree to participate in the increase of the Credit Facility, then the Agent shall so advise the Borrower which shall have the right to deliver a further request to the Agent for those Lenders participating in the increase of the relevant Credit Facility, to participate in any shortfall in the requested increase in the Credit Facility on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Individual Commitments of those participating Lenders and each participating Lender shall advise the Agent as to whether or not it intends to further participate in such increase of the Credit Facility, within three Business Days of such further request. In the event that there is still a shortfall, a further request again on a mutatis mutandis basis will be given to the remaining participating Lenders and such request may be accepted or rejected by the remaining participating Lenders and each participating Lender shall advise the Agent as to whether or not it intends to further participate in such increase of the Credit Facility, within three Business Days of such further request. To the extent that the participating Lenders do not agree to participate in the request for the increase in the Credit Facility, then the Borrower may either arrange for such shortfall in the requested increase from another bank listed in Schedule I or Schedule II of the Bank Act (Canada), which bank must agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender, or accept the lower amount of the increase in the Credit Facility, as accepted by the participating Lenders.
