• 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.

• No Commitments Any commitment or transaction by Company (including, without limitation, any borrowing or capital expenditure) other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice;

• Increase of the Commitments (a) The Borrower may, from time to time, request by written notice to the Administrative Agent to increase the Commitments by a maximum aggregate amount for all such increases of up to $200,000,000, by designating one or more Lenders or other financial institutions (that will become Lenders), in each case, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and acceptable to the Swingline Lender and each LC Issuing Bank, in their respective sole discretion, that agree to accept all or a portion of such additional Commitments (each a “Designated Lender”). (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Designated Lenders of the Borrower’s request pursuant to subsection (a) above. Each Designated Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent by the date specified by the Administrative Agent (which date shall be a Business Day) that either (A) such Designated Lender declines to accept its additional Commitments or (B) such Designated Lender consents to accept the offered Commitments. Any Designated Lender not responding on or prior to the date specified by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to accept the offered Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall, after receiving the notifications from all of the Designated Lenders or following the date specified in the notice to such Designated Lenders, whichever is earlier, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the results thereof and the effective date of any additional Commitments. The effectiveness of such additional Commitments shall be subject to the condition precedent that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (i) the resolutions of the Borrower authorizing such additional Commitments and all Governmental Approvals (if any) required in connection with such additional Commitments, certified as being in effect as of the effective date of such additional Commitments, (ii) a favorable opinion of counsel for the Borrower as to such matters as any Lender through the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (iii) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, dated as of the effective date of such additional Commitments, stating that all conditions precedent to an Extension of Credit have been satisfied on and as of such effective date. (c) Promptly following the effective date of any Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.07, (i) the Administrative Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule I to this Agreement (which shall thereafter be incorporated into this Agreement) to reflect any changes in Lenders, the Commitments and each Lender’s Commitment Percentage as of such effective date and (ii) the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding Revolving Borrowings (if any) in full, and shall simultaneously make new Revolving Borrowings hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Borrowings are held ratably by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (after giving effect to such Commitment increase). Prepayments made under this clause (c) shall not be subject to the notice requirements of Section 2.14. (d) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, from and after the date of any Commitment increase and the making of any Loans on such date pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above, all calculations and payments of fees and of interest on the Loans shall take into account the actual Commitment of each Lender and the principal amount outstanding of each Loan made by such Lender during the relevant period of time.

• Increase in Revolving Commitments (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request that the total Revolving Commitment be increased by an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Revolving Facility Amount at such time. Upon the receipt of such request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to each Revolving Lender. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase (which shall be in minimum increments of $500,000 and a minimum amount of $2,500,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Revolving Facility Amount) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and which, in any event, must be prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), and shall offer each Revolving Lender the opportunity to increase its Revolving Commitment by its Pro Rata Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Revolving Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 10 days after the date of the Administrative Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Revolving Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each Revolving Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Revolving Lender”) or decline to increase its Revolving Commitment (and any Revolving Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment) (each Revolving Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a Non-Increasing Revolving Lender”). In the event that, on the 10th day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph, the Increasing Revolving Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase requested by the Borrower, such Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity being called an “Augmenting Revolving Lender”), which may include any Lender, to extend Revolving Commitments or increase their existing Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided, however, that each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Borrower and each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Commitment and/or its status as a Revolving Lender hereunder, Any such increase may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by the Borrower if such Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Revolving Lenders. (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that after giving effect to any increase pursuant to this Section 2.25, the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their new Pro Rata Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Borrower, (i) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Borrowing, (ii) by causing Non-Increasing Revolving Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans to Increasing Revolving Lenders and/or Augmenting Revolving Lenders, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment or assignment described in this paragraph (b) shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Commitments shall become effective under this Section 2.25 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied (treating the effectiveness of the increase in the Revolving Commitments as a “Credit Event” for such purposes) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, and (ii) if requested, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02.

• L/C Commitment (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). (b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or (ii) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

• Loan Commitments (i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender with an Initial Tranche A Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make, on the Closing Date, one or more term loans (each, an “Initial Tranche A Term Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars in an amount equal to such Lender’s Initial Tranche A Term Loan Commitment. The Borrower may make only one borrowing under the Initial Tranche A Term Loan Commitment which shall be on the Closing Date.

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender with an Initial Tranche B Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make, on the Closing Date one or more term loans (each, an “Initial Tranche B Term Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars in an amount equal to such Lender’s Initial Tranche B Term Loan Commitment. The Borrower may make only one borrowing under the Initial Tranche B Term Loan Commitment which shall be on the Closing Date. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.1(a)(ii) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to Sections 2.11(a) and 2.12, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Initial Tranche B Term Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date applicable to such Initial Tranche B Term Loans. Each Lender’s Initial Tranche B Term Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender’s Initial Tranche B Term Loan Commitment on such date.

(c) Each Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be in an amount specified in a Borrowing Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.7.
