Commitment Increases (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may request from time to time that the Commitments be increased by an amount not less than $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $10,000,000 in excess thereof, provided that the Borrower may only request such an increase once in any six-month period and in no event shall the Commitments exceed $2,000,000,000. Such increase in the Commitments shall be effected as follows: the Borrower may (i) request one or more of the Lenders to increase the amount of its U.S. Commitment and/or its Multicurrency Commitment (which request shall be in writing and sent to the Administrative Agent to forward to such Lender or Lenders) and/or (ii) arrange for one or more financial institutions not a party hereto (a "Third-Party Lender") to become parties to and Lenders under this Agreement, provided that (x) the Administrative Agent shall have approved such Third-Party Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (y) after giving effect to such increase, no Lender shall have a U.S. Commitment Percentage or a Multicurrency Commitment Percentage which exceeds 15%. In no event may any Lender's U.S. Commitment or Multicurrency Commitment be increased without the prior written consent of such Lender, and the failure of any Lender to respond to the Borrower's request for an increase shall be deemed a rejection by such Lender of the Borrower's request. The Commitments may not be increased if, at the time of any proposed increase hereunder, a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon any request by the Borrower to increase the Commitments hereunder, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the date of such request that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to increase the amount of its U.S. Commitment and/or its Multicurrency Commitment, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its U.S. Commitment and/or its Multicurrency Commitment.
(b) If any Lender is willing, in its sole and absolute discretion, to increase the amount of its U.S. Commitment and/or its Multicurrency Commitment hereunder (such a Lender hereinafter referred to as an "Increasing Lender"), it shall enter into a written agreement to that effect with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit H (a "Commitment Increase Supplement"), which agreement shall specify, among other things, the amount of the increased U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment of such Increasing Lender. Upon the effectiveness of such Increasing Lender's increase in Commitment, Schedule I hereto shall, without further action, be deemed to have been amended as appropriate to reflect the increased U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment of such Increasing Lender. Any Third-Party Lender which, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent, in the case of the Administrative Agent, shall not be unreasonably withheld), is willing to become a party hereto and a Lender hereunder, shall enter into a written agreement with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit I (an "Additional Lender Supplement"), which agreement shall specify, among other things, its U.S. Commitment and/or its Multicurrency Commitment hereunder. When such Third-Party Lender becomes a Lender hereunder as set forth in the Additional Lender Supplement, Schedule I shall, without further action, be deemed to have been amended as appropriate to reflect the U.S. Commitment and/or the Multicurrency Commitment of such Third-Party Lender. Upon the execution by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Third-Party Lender of such Additional Lender Supplement, such Third-Party Lender shall become and be deemed a party hereto and a "Lender" hereunder for all purposes hereof and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations on the part of the Lenders set forth in this Agreement, and its U.S. Commitment and/or its Multicurrency Commitment shall be the amount specified in its Additional Lender Supplement. Each Third-Party Lender which executes and delivers an Additional Lender Supplement and becomes a party hereto and a "Lender" hereunder pursuant to such Additional Lender Supplement is hereinafter referred to as an "Additional Lender."
(c) In no event shall an increase in a Lender's U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment or the addition of a U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment of a Third-Party Lender become effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from the Borrower, to the effect that the representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing after giving effect to the increase in the Commitments resulting from the increase in such Lender's U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment or the extension of a U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment by such Third-Party Lender. In no event shall an increase in a Lender's U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment or the addition of a U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment of a Third-Party Lender which results in the Commitments exceeding the amount which is authorized at such time in resolutions previously delivered to the Administrative Agent become effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received a copy of the resolutions, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Borrower authorizing the borrowings contemplated pursuant to such increase, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Borrower. Concurrently with the execution by an Increasing Lender of a Commitment Increase Supplement or by an Additional Lender of an Additional Lender Supplement, the Borrower shall make such borrowing from such Increasing Lender or Additional Lender, and/or shall make such prepayment of outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit Loans or Multicurrency Loans, as shall be required to cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and Multicurrency Loans owing to each Lender (including each such Increasing Lender and Additional Lender) to be proportional to such U.S. Lender's share of the Aggregate U.S. Commitments and/or such Multicurrency Lender's share of the Multicurrency Commitments, respectively, after giving effect to any increase thereof. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense incurred as a result of any such prepayment in accordance with subsection 2.17, as applicable.
(d) Upon any Lender entering into a Commitment Increase Supplement or any Additional Lender becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent shall notify each other Lender thereof and shall deliver to each Lender a copy of the Additional Lender Supplement executed by such Additional Lender and the Commitment Increase Supplement executed by such Increasing Lender.
Commitment Increase (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower shall have the right, without the consent of the Lenders, to cause an increase in the Commitments of the Lenders (a “Commitment Increase”) by adding to this Agreement one or more additional lenders that are not already Lenders hereunder and that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (each, a “CI Lender”) or by allowing one or more existing Lenders to increase their respective Commitments; provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the relevant Commitment Increase Effective Date, (ii) no such Commitment Increase shall be less than $25,000,000, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents to a smaller amount (iii) the aggregate amount of all such Commitment Increases shall not exceed $750,000,000, (iv) no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without such Lender’s prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion), (v) upon any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.02, the Multicurrency Commitments of the Lenders shall be adjusted to reflect all Lenders’ (including any CI Lender’s) Applicable Percentage of the Multicurrency Commitments at such time and (vi) if, on the effective date of such increase, any Loans have been funded, then the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any breakage fees or costs that are payable pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with the reallocation of such outstanding Loans; provided further that no Commitment Increase shall increase the Alternative Currency LC Sublimit or the total Multicurrency Commitments without the consent of each Lender.
(b) The Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with written notice (a “Notice of Commitment Increase”) in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto of its intention to increase the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.02. Each such Notice of Commitment Increase shall specify (i) the proposed effective date of such Commitment Increase (each such date, a “Commitment Increase Effective Date”), which date shall be no earlier than five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Notice of Commitment Increase, (ii) the amount of the requested Commitment Increase (provided that after giving effect to such requested Commitment Increase, the aggregate amount of all Commitment Increases does not exceed the amount set forth in subsection (a)(iii) above), (iii) the identity of each CI Lender or Lender that has agreed in writing to increase its Commitment hereunder, and (iv) the amount of the respective Commitments of the then existing Lenders and the CI Lenders from and after the Commitment Increase Effective Date.
(c) On each Commitment Increase Effective Date, to the extent that there are Loans outstanding as of such date, (i) each CI Lender shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, deliver to the Administrative Agent such CI Lender’s New Funds Amount, which amount (A) shall be denominated in the same currency as such outstanding Loans and (B) for each such CI Lender, shall constitute Loans made by such CI Lender to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement on such Commitment Increase Effective Date, (ii) each existing Lender that has agreed to increase its Commitment shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, deliver to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s New Funds Amount, which amount (A) shall be denominated in the same currency as such outstanding Loans and (B) for each such Lender, shall constitute Loans made by such Lender to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement on such Commitment Increase Effective Date, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pay to each then Reducing Percentage Lender its Reduction Amount, which amount, for each such Reducing Percentage Lender, shall constitute a prepayment by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11, ratably in accordance with the respective principal amounts thereof, of the principal amounts of all then outstanding Loans of such Reducing Percentage Lender, and (iv) the Borrower shall be responsible to pay to each Lender any breakage fees or costs that are payable pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with the reallocation of any outstanding Loans.
(d) For purposes of this Section 2.02 and Exhibit B, the following defined terms shall have the following meanings: (i) “New Funds Amount” means the amount equal to the product of a Lender’s increased Commitment or a CI Lender’s Commitment (as applicable) represented as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments after giving effect to any Commitment Increase, times the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans immediately prior to giving effect to such Commitment Increase, if any, as of any Commitment Increase Effective Date (without regard to any increase in the aggregate principal amount of Loans as a result of borrowings made after giving effect to such Commitment Increase on such Commitment Increase Effective Date); (ii) “Reducing Percentage Lender” means each then existing Lender immediately prior to giving effect to any Commitment Increase that does not increase its respective Commitment as a result of such Commitment Increase and whose relative percentage of the Commitments shall be reduced after giving effect to such Commitment Increase; and (iii) “Reduction Amount” means the amount by which a Reducing Percentage Lender’s outstanding Loans decrease as of any Commitment Increase Effective Date (without regard to the effect of any borrowings made on such Commitment Increase Effective Date after giving effect to the Commitment Increase occurring on such Commitment Increase Effective Date).
Termination of Revolving Credit Facility The Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
No Commitment for Additional Financing The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser has made any representation, undertaking, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance, other than the purchase of the Shares as set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein. In addition, the Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) no statements, whether written or oral, made by any Purchaser or its representatives on or after the date of this Agreement shall create an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or investment, (ii) the Company shall not rely on any such statement by any Purchaser or its representatives, and (iii) an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or investment may only be created by a written agreement, signed by such Purchaser and the Company, setting forth the terms and conditions of such financing or investment and stating that the parties intend for such writing to be a binding obligation or agreement. Each Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse or decline to participate in any other financing of or investment in the Company, and shall have no obligation to assist or cooperate with the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance.
Extension of Revolving Credit Commitments The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Class (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) be identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche from which such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are to be amended, except that: (i) the Maturity Date of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to a later date than the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Effective Yield with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, commitment fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield for extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments); and (iv) all borrowings under the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (i.e., the Existing Revolver Tranche and the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Revolver Extension Series) and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and (II) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments); provided, further, that (A) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Revolver Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Revolver Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any other Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, (C) any such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and the Liens securing the same) shall be permitted by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements (to the extent any Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect) and (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments incurred under this Section 2.16 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000.
Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments If the maturity date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(d)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.17. If, for any reason, such Cash Collateral is not provided or the reallocation does not occur, the Revolving Credit Lenders under the maturing tranche shall continue to be responsible for their participating interests in the Letters of Credit. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, the occurrence of a maturity date with respect to a given tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Credit Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such maturity date. Commencing with the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Lenders under the extended tranches.
Agreement to Make Swingline Loans Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swingline Lender severally agrees to make Swingline Loans under each Commitment to the Borrower from time to time during the Extended Availability Period in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans of both Classes of Commitments exceeding $100,000,000 or the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans of any Swingline Lender exceeding $50,000,000, (ii) the sum of any Swingline Lender’s outstanding Multicurrency Loans, its LC Exposure, its outstanding Swingline Loans and (without duplication) its other Swingline Exposure exceeding its Multicurrency Commitment; (iii) the total Revolving Dollar Credit Exposures exceeding the aggregate Dollar Commitments at such time, (iv) the total Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures exceeding the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments at such time or (v) the total Covered Debt Amount exceeding the Borrowing Base then in effect; provided that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
Additional Commitments The Parties may negotiate commitments with respect to measures affecting trade in services not subject to scheduling under Article 106 (National Treatment) or Article 107 (Market Access), including those regarding qualifications, standards or licensing matters. Such commitments shall be inscribed in a Party's Schedule.
Additional Commitment Lenders The Company shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Maturity Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions that are not Ineligible Institutions (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) approved by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 2.19(b), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04, with the Company or replacement Lender obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the applicable Maturity Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date). Prior to any Non-Extending Lender being replaced by one or more Additional Commitment Lenders pursuant hereto, such Non-Extending Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, by giving irrevocable notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Company (which notice shall set forth such Lender’s new Maturity Date), to become an Extending Lender. The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide for any such extensions with the consent of the Company but without the consent of any other Lenders.
Compliance with Commitments Immediately after giving effect to the making of any such Extension of Credit (and the application of the proceeds thereof), (i) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans plus outstanding Swingline Loans plus outstanding LOC Obligations shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount then in effect, (ii) the outstanding LOC Obligations shall not exceed the LOC Committed Amount, and (iii) the outstanding Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Swingline Committed Amount.
