• Reallocation of Commitments Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all outstanding “Revolving Credit Loans” given by the Lenders under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement owing by the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be Revolving Credit Loans hereunder. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the provisions regarding assignments set forth in Section 10.06 hereof, as of the Closing Date, (i) the Commitments and Applicable Percentages for each of the Lenders are as set forth on Schedule 2.01 and (ii) each Lender that is party to the Existing Credit Agreement whose loan commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement is greater than its Commitments hereunder shall be deemed to have assigned, without recourse, to one or more Lenders such portion of such decreasing Lender’s existing loans and commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement as shall be necessary to effectuate the reallocation of commitments and existing loans contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Credit Agreement or this Agreement, no other documents or instruments, including any Assignment and Assumption, shall be executed in connection with such assignments (all of which requirements are hereby waived), and such assignments shall be deemed to be made with all applicable representations, warranties and covenants as if evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption. On the Closing Date, the Lenders shall make full cash settlement with each other through the Administrative Agent with respect to all assignments, reallocations and other changes in commitments contemplated hereby such that after giving effect to such settlements each Lender’s Applicable Percentage with respect to the applicable Facility shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01; provided, that the foregoing re-allocations and deemed assignments shall not give rise to, and each Lender hereby waives, payment of any additional amounts under Section 3.05.

• Effect of Letters of Credit on Revolving Commitments Upon the issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage and (ii) (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

• Extension of Commitments The Commitments may be extended in the manner and amount set forth in this subsection (b), for a period of 364 days measured from the Termination Date then in effect. If the Company wishes to request an extension of each Bank's Commitment, it shall give notice to that effect to the Agent not less than 45 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, whereupon the Agent shall promptly notify each of the Banks of such request. Each Bank will use its best efforts to respond to such request, whether affirmatively or negatively, as it may elect in its discretion, within 30 days of such notice to the Agent. If any Bank shall not have responded affirmatively within such 30-day period, such Bank shall be deemed to have rejected the Company's proposal to extend its Commitment, and only the Commitments of those Banks which have responded affirmatively shall be extended, subject to receipt by the Agent of counterparts of an Extension Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto duly completed and signed by the Borrower, the Company, the Agent and all of the Banks which have responded affirmatively. The Agent shall provide to the Company, no later than 10 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, a list of the Banks which have responded affirmatively. The Extension Agreement shall be executed and delivered no later than five days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, and no extension of the Commitments pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be legally binding on any party hereto unless and until such Extension Agreement is so executed and delivered. The Company and the Borrower may decline to execute and deliver such Extension Agreement if any Bank has rejected the Company's proposal to extend its Commitment or has failed to execute and deliver such Extension Agreement, and will promptly notify the Agent and the Banks if it so declines.

• Revolving Commitment Increase (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.1, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower shall have the right from time to time, to cause an increase in the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) by adding to this Agreement one or more additional Eligible Assignees that are not already Revolving Lenders hereunder and that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender (each, a “New Revolving Lender”) or by allowing one or more existing Revolving Lenders to increase their respective Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) both before and immediately after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the effective date of such Revolving Commitment Increase (such date, the “Revolving Commitment Increase Date”), (ii) no such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an amount less than $10,000,000 (unless the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments then in effect is greater than $390,000,000), (iii) after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $600,000,000, (iv) no Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be increased without such Revolving Lender’s prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in such Revolving Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) and (v) the only Revolving Commitment Increase that may occur on or after the Tenth Amendment Effective Date is a single Revolving Commitment Increase in an aggregate amount not exceeding $200,000,000 on (and subject to the occurrence of) the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date. The foregoing clause (i) and the following Section 2.10(b) and Section 2.10(e) shall not be applicable to the 2014 Revolving Commitment Increase and the only conditions to the 2014 Revolving Commitment Increase shall be those conditions set forth in Section 4 of the Eleventh Amendment.

• Incremental Revolving Commitments (a) The Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request during the Revolving Commitment Period the establishment of Incremental Revolving Commitments, provided that the aggregate amount of all the Incremental Revolving Commitments to be established hereunder on any date shall not exceed the Incremental Amount as of such date. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments being requested (which shall be an amount not less than $5,000,000) and (iii) the identity of each Person proposed to become an Incremental Revolving Lender in connection therewith (it being agreed that (x) any Lender approached to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Revolving Commitment and (y) any Person that the Borrower proposes to become an Incremental Revolving Lender, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be an Eligible Assignee and, if such approval would then be required under Section 10.6(c) for an assignment to such Person of a Commitment or Loan, must be approved by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)).

• Increase of Commitments (a) If no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, since the Effective Date, the Borrowers may at any time from time to time prior to the Maturity Date request one or more increases of the US Revolving Commitments, Canadian Revolving Commitments or the UK Revolving Commitments by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of such proposed increase (each such notice, a “Commitment Increase Notice”); provided, however, that, (i) none of the US Revolving Commitment, the Canadian Revolving Commitment or the UK Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender may be increased without such Revolving Lender’s consent, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Commitments as so increased shall not exceed $175,000,000, (iii) any increase in either the Canadian Revolving Commitment or the UK Revolving Commitment, each as herein provided, shall require a corresponding dollar per dollar increase in the US Revolving Commitment (such corresponding increase shall not be deemed to be an additional increase), (iv) the Commitments may not be increased without the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (v) that portion of the Revolving Commitments representing an increase in the Revolving Commitments made pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall only be available for the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder (for purposes of determining compliance with this clause (v) Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be the last credit extended under a Revolving Commitment - it being intended that no Borrower shall be in violation of this clause (v) unless the principal amount of Revolving Loans and Protective Advances outstanding to such Borrower exceed the amount of the aggregate Revolving Commitments to such Borrower before giving effect to such increase), and (vi) the aggregate amount of such increases during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed $25,000,000.

• Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders (a) From time to time after the Closing Date and in accordance with this Section, the Borrower and one or more Increasing Lenders or Additional Lenders (each as defined below) may enter into an agreement to increase the aggregate Revolving Commitments hereunder (each such increase, an “Incremental Commitment”) so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

• Term Loan Commitments Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in such principal amount as the Borrower shall request up to, but not exceeding such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.

• Increase in Commitments At any time following the Agreement Date and prior to the Termination Date the aggregate amount of the Commitments may, at the option of the Borrower, be increased by an amount not in excess of $200,000,000, either by new Banks establishing such additional Commitments or by one or more then-existing Banks increasing their Commitments (each such increase by either means, a "Commitment Increase," and each such new Bank or Bank increasing its Commitment, an "Additional Commitment Bank"); provided that (a) each Additional Commitment Bank shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, (b) no Default shall exist immediately prior to or after the effective date of such Commitment Increase, (c) each such Commitment Increase shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000 and multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, (d) no such Commitment Increase shall become effective unless and until the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Additional Commitment Banks shall have executed and delivered an agreement substantially in the form of Schedule 1.09 (a "Commitment Increase Supplement"), and (d) the increase in the Total Commitments shall not exceed $200,000,000. On the effective date of such Commitment Increase, each Additional Commitment Bank shall purchase, for assignment, from each other existing Bank the portion of such other Bank's RC Loans and Letter of Credit Participations outstanding at such time such that, after giving effect to such assignments, the respective aggregate amount of RC Loans and Letter of Credit Participations of each Bank shall be equal to such Bank's pro rata share (based on the total Commitments, as increased pursuant hereto) of the aggregate RC Loans and Letter of Credit Participations outstanding. The purchase price for the RC Loans and Letter of Credit Participations so assigned shall be the principal amount of the RC Loans and unreimbursed Drawings so assigned plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon on the date of assignment. Upon payment of such purchase price, each other Bank shall be automatically deemed to have sold and made such an assignment to such Additional Commitment Bank and shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, and such Additional Commitment Bank shall be automatically deemed to have purchased and assumed such an assignment from each other Bank and, if not already a Bank hereunder, shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement.

• Reduction of Commitments The Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. Borrowers may reduce the Revolver Commitments of either Class, without premium or penalty, to an amount not less than the sum of (A) the Revolver Usage of such Class as of such date, plus (B) the principal amount of all Revolving Loans of such Class not yet made as to which a request has been given by Borrowers under Section 2.3(a), plus (C) the amount of all Letters of Credit of such Class not yet issued as to which a request has been given by Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.11(a). Each such reduction shall be in an amount which is not less than $5,000,000 (unless the Revolver Commitments are being reduced to zero and the amount of the Revolver Commitments in effect immediately prior to such reduction are less than $5,000,000), shall be made by providing not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Agent or such shorter period as the Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion, and shall be irrevocable; provided that such notice of termination may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of one or more securities offerings or other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrowers (by notice to Agent from Parent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Once reduced, the Revolver Commitments may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Revolver Commitments shall reduce the Revolver Commitments of each Revolving Lender proportionately in accordance with its ratable share thereof.
