Commitment Increase The Borrower may, by giving at least 15 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, propose that the Aggregate Facility Amount be increased (each such proposed increase being a “Commitment Increase”), through an increase of the Commitment of one or more existing Lenders (each an “Increasing Lender”) and/or the addition of one or more Persons (who must be Eligible Assignees) as assuming Lenders (each an “Assuming Lender”), as the Borrower may determine, all effective as of a date (the “Commitment Increase Date”) that shall be specified in such notice and that shall be prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided the following limitations shall apply: (A) the Borrower may not propose more than two Commitment Increases during any calendar quarter, (B) the proposed Commitment Increase in respect of the Commitment of any Increasing Lender or any Assuming Lender shall for each Commitment Increase Date be no less than $100,000,000, (C) the Aggregate Facility Amount may not in any event at any time exceed $2,000,000,000, (D) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the relevant Commitment Increase Date or shall result from the proposed Commitment Increase, and (E) the representations and warranties in Article V shall be true in all material respects on and as of the Commitment Increase Date as if made on and as of such date. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of a proposed Commitment Increase promptly upon its receipt of notice from the Borrower with respect thereto. Each Lender will consider in good faith any such proposed Commitment Increase, provided that it shall be in each Lender’s sole discretion whether to agree to increase its Commitment hereunder in connection therewith. No later than 10 Business Days after its receipt of the Borrower’s notice proposing a Commitment Increase, each Lender that is willing to increase its Commitment hereunder shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice in which such Lender shall set forth the maximum increase in its Commitment to which such Lender is willing to agree (any Lender not responding by such time to be deemed not to have agreed to such increase in its Commitment), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrower a copy of such Increasing Lender’s notice. The Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Borrower in discussions with the Lenders and Eligible Assignees with a view to arranging any proposed Commitment Increase through the increase of the Commitments of one or more of the Lenders and/or the addition of one or more Eligible Assignees as Assuming Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to secure any such proposed Commitment Increase (provided that any such addition of an Eligible Assignee as an Assuming Lender shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that any allocations of any increase of Commitments hereunder (including any allocation as between Increasing Lenders and Assuming Lenders) shall be determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion.
PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT 1. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "permanent establishment" means a fixed place of business through which the business of an enterprise is wholly or partly carried on. 2. The term " permanent establishment" includes especially: (a) a place of management; (b) a branch; (c) an office; (d) a factory; (e) a workshop; and (f) a mine, an oil or gas well, a quarry or any other place of extraction of natural resources. 3. The term "permanent establishment" also includes: (a) a building site or construction or assembly or installation project or supervisory activities in connection therewith, but only where such site, project or activities continue for a period or periods aggregating more than 6 months within any twelve-month period; (b) the furnishing of services, including consultancy services, by a resident of a Contracting State through employees or other personnel engaged by the enterprise for a period or periods aggregating more than 183 days within any twelve-month period. 4. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article, the term "permanent establishment" shall be deemed not to include: (a) the use of facilities solely for the purpose of storage, display or delivery of goods or merchandise belonging to the enterprise; (b) the maintenance of a stock of goods or merchandise belonging to the enterprise solely for the purpose of storage, display or delivery; (c) the maintenance of a stock of goods or merchandise belonging to the enterprise solely for the purpose of processing by another enterprise; (d) the maintenance of a fixed place of business solely for the purpose of purchasing goods or merchandise or of collecting information, for the enterprise; (e) the maintenance of a fixed place of business solely for the purpose of carrying on, for the enterprise, any other activity of a preparatory or auxiliary character; (f) the maintenance of a fixed place of business solely for any combination of activities mentioned in sub-paragraphs (a) to (e), provided that the overall activity of the fixed place of business resulting from this combination is of a preparatory or auxiliary character. 5. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2, where a person -- other than an agent of an independent status to whom paragraph 6 applies -- is acting on behalf of an enterprise and has, and habitually exercises, in a Contracting State an authority to conclude contracts in the name of the enterprise, that enterprise shall be deemed to have a permanent establishment in that State in respect of any activities which that person undertakes for the enterprise, unless the activities of such person are limited to those mentioned in paragraph 4 which, if exercised through a fixed place of business, would not make this fixed place of business a permanent establishment under the provisions of that paragraph. 6. An enterprise shall not be deemed to have a permanent establishment in a Contracting State merely because it carries on business in that State through a broker, general commission agent or any other agent of an independent status, provided that such persons are acting in the ordinary course of their business. 7. The fact that a company which is a resident of a Contracting State controls or is controlled by a company which is a resident of the other Contracting State, or which carries on business in that other State (whether through a permanent establishment or otherwise), shall not of itself constitute either company a permanent establishment of the other.
