The Commitments and Credit Extensions 2.01 The Loans.
Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders (a) The Borrower may, upon at least 10 days’ written notice (or such shorter period as may be permitted by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Revolving Loan Lender), propose to (i) increase either the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or (ii) establish one or more incremental term loan commitments (any such incremental term loan commitment, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) to make an incremental term loan (any such incremental term loan, an “Incremental Term Loan”), by an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (x) the greater of (1) $300,000,000 and (2) 100% of LTM Consolidated EBITDA (as of the date incurred) and (y) if either of such increase to the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or such Incremental Term Loan is incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other Investments permitted by this Agreement, any amounts (which for purposes of clarity, do not include any amounts incurred in reliance upon clause (x) and shall not be included in Indebtedness for purposes of calculating the Leverage Ratio for purpose of this clause (y)) so long as the pro forma Leverage Ratio (determined (1) after giving effect to such acquisition and assuming that such acquisition was consummated on the first day of the most recently ended period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters and (2) in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, in accordance with Section 1.7(a)) shall not be greater than 1.75 to 1 (it being understood that the increase of Aggregate Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Loan Commitments may, at the election of the Borrower, be incurred under clause (y) of this Section 2.24(a) prior to any use of clause (x) and regardless of whether there is capacity under clause (x) hereof and if both clauses (x) and (y) are available and the Borrower does not make an election, the Borrower will be deemed to have elected clause (y)) (the amount of any such increase or incremental term loan commitment (which shall be in minimum increments of $10,000,000), the “Additional Commitment Amount”).
(b) In the case of a request to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, each Revolving Loan Lender shall have the right for a period of 5 Business Days following receipt of such notice, to elect by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to increase its Revolving Commitment by a principal amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Additional Commitment Amount. No such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall increase any of the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the LC Commitment or the Swingline Commitment.
(c) In the case of a request for Incremental Term Loan Commitments, or if any Revolving Loan Lender shall not elect to increase its Revolving Commitment pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.24, the Borrower may designate another bank or other financial institution (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agrees to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Revolving Commitment or provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (an “Additional Lender”), which at the time agrees to become a party to this Agreement, if not already a Lender; provided, however, that any new bank or financial institution must be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The sum of the increases in the Revolving Commitments of the existing Lenders pursuant to this subsection (c) plus the Revolving Commitments of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Additional Commitment Amount in the case of a request to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.
(d) No Lender (or any successor thereto) shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Commitment or its other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment, and any decision by a Lender to increase its Revolving Commitment or provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender.
(e) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or the establishment of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a supplement or joinder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent executed by the Borrower and by each Additional Lender and by each other Revolving Loan Lender whose Revolving Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new Revolving Commitments or the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, and, to the extent requested by such Additional Lender or such other Revolving Loan Lender whose Revolving Commitment is to be increased, Revolving Notes evidencing such increase in the Revolving Commitment or promissory notes evidencing the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, and such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower and the Guarantors with respect to the increase in the Revolving Commitments or the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower and the Guarantors with respect to the increase in the Revolving Commitments or the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and, in the case of the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, an amendment to this Agreement as mutually agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders or such other Lenders, in each case who are providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitment; provided that (i) the terms and conditions applicable to Incremental Term Loans may be materially different from those of the Revolving Loans to the extent such differences are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the interest rates, maturity, mandatory prepayment provisions and amortization schedule applicable to such Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders holding the Incremental Term Loan Commitments. In connection with the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything in Section 10.2 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Additional Lenders or existing Lenders participating in the Additional Commitment Amount, as applicable, may enter into such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate (in the Administrative Agent’s judgment) to incorporate the terms of Additional Commitment Amount into the terms of this Agreement, and to provide the Additional Lenders with the benefits of this Agreement that are available to the other Lenders in the same Class as such Additional Lenders.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3.2, an increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or the establishment of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall be subject to, at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such proposed increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or establishment of Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the use of the proceeds thereof, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and all representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties that are expressly qualified by a Material Adverse Effect or other materiality, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on such date, except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as of such earlier date; provided that, solely with respect to the establishment of Incremental Term Loan Commitments entered into in connection with the financing of a Limited Condition Acquisition, the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitments may agree to a “funds certain provision” that:
(ii) does not impose as a condition to funding thereof that no Default or Event of Default (other than any Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j)) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated, in which event the condition to funding thereof shall instead be that (x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Limited Condition Acquisition Test Date with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and (y) no Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated; and
(iii) provides that the only representations and warranties the making of which shall be a condition to funding thereof shall be (x) certain “specified representations” agreed to by the Lenders providing such Commitments and (y) the representations and warranties made by or with respect to the applicable target in the Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement that are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that the Borrower (or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) has the right to terminate the Borrower’s (or such Restricted Subsidiary’s) obligations under such Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement or to decline to consummate the transactions contemplated by such Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement as a result of a breach of such representations or warranties in such Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement (or the failure of such representations or warranties to be true and correct or to satisfy the closing conditions in such Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement applicable to such representations or warranties).
(f) Upon the acceptance of any such agreement by the Administrative Agent, the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount shall automatically be increased by the amount of the Revolving Commitments added through such agreement and Schedule II shall automatically be deemed amended to reflect the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Commitments of all Lenders after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Commitments.
(g) Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24 that is not pro rata among all Revolving Loan Lenders, (x) within five Business Days, in the case of any Base Rate Loans then outstanding, and at the end of the then current month with respect thereto, in the case of any Index Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Sterling then outstanding, and at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, in the case of any Eurocurrency Loans not denominated in Sterling then outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay such Loans in their entirety and, to the extent the Borrower elects to do so and subject to the conditions specified in Article 3, the Borrower shall reborrow the Revolving Loans from the Revolving Loan Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such increase, until such time as all outstanding Revolving Loans are held by the Revolving Loan Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase); provided that with respect to this subclause (x), (A) the prepayment to, and borrowing from, any existing Lender shall be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Lender will be subsequently borrowed from such Lender and (B) the existing Revolving Loan Lenders, as applicable, and the Additional Lenders shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans of such Lenders are held ratably by the Lenders of such Class in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Class of such Lenders (after giving effect to such Additional Commitment Amount), and (y) effective upon such increase, the amount of the participations held by each Revolving Loan Lender in each Letter of Credit then outstanding shall be adjusted automatically such that, after giving effect to such adjustments, the Lenders shall hold participations in each such Letter of Credit in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments.
(h) The Additional Lenders or existing Lenders providing an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be included in any determination of the Required Lenders and such Lenders will not constitute a separate voting class for any purposes under this Agreement. Any Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Loans Documents, except that such Incremental Term Loans may be subordinated in right of payment, the Liens securing such Incremental Term Loans may be subordinated or such Incremental Term Loans may be unsecured, in each case, to the extent set forth in an amendment to this Agreement as mutually agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders or such other Lenders, in each case who are providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitment.
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.

Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders (including the Issuing Bank), based upon the Lenders’ respective Percentages, a per annum fee (the “Facility Letter of Credit Fee”) as a percentage of the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding equal to the LIBOR Applicable Margin in effect from time to time hereunder while such Facility Letter of Credit is outstanding. The Facility Letter of Credit Fee relating to any Facility Letter of Credit shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter following the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit and, to the extent any such fees are then due and unpaid, on the Facility Termination Date or any other earlier date that the Obligations are due and payable in full. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when paid, to the other Lenders in accordance with their Percentages thereof. The Borrower shall not have any liability to any Lender for the failure of the Administrative Agent to promptly deliver funds to any such Lender and shall be deemed to have made all such payments on the date the respective payment is made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, provided such payment is received by the time specified in Section 2.13 hereof.
(b) The Issuing Bank also shall have the right to receive solely for its own account an issuance fee equal to the greater of (A) $1,500 or (B) one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum to be calculated on the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit for the stated duration thereof, based on the actual number of days and using a 360-day year basis. The issuance fee shall be payable by the Borrower on the Issuance Date for each such Facility Letter of Credit and on the date of any increase therein or extension thereof. The Issuing Bank shall also be entitled to receive its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and the Issuing Bank’s standard charges of issuing, amending and servicing Facility Letters of Credit and processing draws thereunder.
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.
