(a) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or would result from such Commitment Increase;
(b) no Commitment Increase may be in an amount less than $10,000,000;
(c) no existing Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Commitment in connection with any Commitment Increase;
(d) the proposed Commitment Increase shall have been consented to in writing by each existing Lender (if any) who is increasing its Revolving Commitment and/or each other institution (if any) that constitutes a permitted assignee under Section 11.04(b) and that has agreed to become a Lender in respect of all or a portion of the Commitment Increase (each such Lender, a “New Lender”);

Each of the Borrower, Lenders and Administrative Agent acknowledges and agrees that each Commitment Increase meeting the conditions set forth in this Section 2.20 shall not require the consent of any Lender other than those Lenders, if any, which have agreed to increase their Revolving Commitments in connection with such proposed Commitment Increase. After giving effect to any Commitment Increase, it may be the case that the outstanding Revolving Loans are not held pro rata in accordance with the new Revolving Commitments. In order to remedy the foregoing, on the effective date of the applicable Commitment Increase, the Revolving Lenders (including, without limitation, any new Lenders) shall make payments to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, upon receipt of all such payments, to disburse such amounts to the Lenders so that after giving effect thereto the Revolving Loans will be held by the Revolving Lenders (including, without limitation, any new Lenders), pro rata in accordance with the Pro Rate Percentages hereunder (after giving effect to the applicable Commitment Increase).
Increasing Lenders Each Increasing Lender shall confirm its agreement to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to an acknowledgement in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, signed by it and the Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) days before the effective date of such increase.
