Amount and Terms of the Credit Facility 2.1. The Commitments; Increase in Total Commitments.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding that will not result in such Lender's Exposure exceeding such Lender's Commitment. During the Commitment Period the Borrower may use the Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event may Loans be borrowed under this Section 2 if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Total Exposures at such time would exceed the Total Commitments then in effect. The Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.6.
(b) In the event that the Borrower wishes from time to time to increase the Total Commitments, it shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount (the "Commitment Increase Amount") of such proposed increase (such notice, a "Commitment Increase Notice"), and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of such proposed increase. The Borrower may, at its election (i) offer one or more of the Lenders the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of the Commitment Increase Amount pursuant to paragraph (d) below and/or (ii) with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), offer one or more additional banks, financial institutions or other entities the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of the Commitment Increase Amount pursuant to paragraph (c) below. Each Commitment Increase Notice shall specify which Lenders and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities the Borrower desires to participate in such Commitment increase. The Borrower or, if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, will notify such Lenders and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities of such offer. Each Commitment Increase Amount shall be at least $50,000,000.
(c) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which the Borrower selects to offer participation in the increased Commitments and which elects to become a party to this Agreement and provide a Commitment in an amount so offered and accepted by it pursuant to Section 2.1(b)
Amount and Terms of Revolving Commitments (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, during the Revolving Commitment Period, each Lender severally agrees to make, Convert and Continue revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) in Dollars or any Alternative Currency in such amounts as Borrower may from time to time request; provided, however, that (i) the Dollar Amount of the Outstanding Revolving Obligations of each Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment at any time, (ii) the Dollar Amount of the Outstanding Revolving Obligations of all Lenders plus the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Competitive Loans shall not exceed the combined Revolving Commitments at any time. The Revolving Facility is a revolving credit and, subject to the foregoing and the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow, Convert, Continue, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans as set forth herein without premium or penalty.
(b) At any time after the Effective Date, Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including any New Lender) may agree that such Lender or Lenders shall make or increase the amount of their Revolving Commitments by executing and delivering to Administrative Agent an Increased Revolving Commitment Activation Notice specifying the amount of such increase or new Revolving Commitment and the applicable Increased Revolving Commitment Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) at no time may the combined Revolving Commitments exceed $10,000,000,000, (ii) Revolving Commitments may not be made or increased after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default that is continuing, including after giving effect to the incremental Revolving Commitments in question, and (iii) any increase effected pursuant to this Section 2.01(b) shall be in a minimum amount of at least $25,000,000. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this Section 2.01(b) unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.
(c) Any additional bank or financial institution (each, a “New Lender”) that, in the case of an institution that is not an Affiliate of a then-existing Lender, with the consent of Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with an increase described in Section 2.01(b) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1, whereupon such bank or financial institution shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.
(d) On each Increased Revolving Commitment Closing Date on which there are Revolving Loans outstanding, each Lender (including any New Lender) that has made or increased its Revolving Commitment shall make a Revolving Loan, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay the Revolving Loans of other Lenders, so that, after giving effect thereto, the resulting Revolving Loans outstanding are allocated among the Lenders on a pro rata basis based on the respective Revolving Percentages of the Lenders after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.01(b) on such Increased Revolving Commitment Closing Date.
(e) Borrower shall repay (i) all outstanding Revolving Loans made to it and all amounts funded by the Lenders as cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.03(d) on the Revolving Termination Date, the Extended Revolving Termination Date or the Second Extended Revolving Termination Date, as applicable, and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan made to it on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan. Borrower may request that the Revolving Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments be extended for additional one-year periods by providing written notice to Administrative Agent (“Notice Date”) not more than two times prior to the Revolving Termination Date or the Extended Revolving Termination Date, as applicable. If a Lender or a New Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to extend its Revolving Commitments and/or Letter of Credit Commitments (such Lender or New Lender, an “Extending Lender” or “New Extending Lender”, as the case may be), it will notify Administrative Agent in writing of its decision to do so and the maximum amount of Revolving Commitments and, if applicable, Letter of Credit Commitments it agrees to so extend no later than 30 days after the applicable Notice Date, which notice shall be irrevocable. Administrative Agent will notify Borrower, in writing, of the Lenders’ decisions no later than 35 days after the applicable Notice Date (“Extension Effectiveness Date”). As of the Extension Effectiveness Date, the Extending Lenders’ and the New Extending Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments will be extended for an additional year from the Revolving Termination Date (the “Extended Revolving Termination Date”) or the Extended Revolving Termination Date (the “Second Extended Revolving Termination Date”), as applicable; provided that (i) more than 50% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments outstanding on the applicable Extension Effectiveness Date are extended or otherwise committed to by Extending Lenders and any New Extending Lenders (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Extension Effectiveness Date after giving effect to the requested extension and (iii) the remaining tenor of Revolving Commitments of any Extending Lender and any New Extending Lender shall not exceed five years from the applicable Extension Effectiveness Date after giving effect to the requested extension. No Lender shall be required to consent to any such extension request, and any Lender that declines or does not respond in writing to Borrower’s request for commitment renewal (a “Declining Lender”) will have its Revolving Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitment terminated on the then-existing Revolving Termination Date or Extended Revolving Termination Date, as applicable (without regard to any renewals by other Lenders). Borrower will have the right to remove or replace any Declining Lenders in accordance with Section 10.21.
