Increase of Commitments (a) The Company and any one or more Banks (including New Banks) may, at any time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, agree that such Banks shall make, obtain or increase the amount of their Commitments by executing and delivering to the Agent an Increased Commitment Notice specifying (i) the amount of such increase and (ii) the applicable Increased Commitment Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Required Banks, the aggregate amount of increased Commitments obtained after the Closing Date pursuant to this paragraph, together with any increase of commitments under the 5-Year Revolving Facility (or any facility that replaces or refinances the 5-Year Revolving Facility), shall not exceed $750,000,000 and (ii) without the consent of the Agent, each increase effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $10,000,000. No Bank shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.
(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Company and the Agent (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), elects to become a “Bank” under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in subsection 2.21(a) shall execute a New Bank supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New Bank”) shall become a Bank 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.
(c) Initial Loans made under any such increased Commitments shall be made pursuant to funding procedures then agreed to by the Company and the Agent (including as to the initial interest applicable to such Loans), and payments of principal, interest and fees under this Agreement shall be made by the Company to give effect to such procedures and the timing of such increased Commitments. Payments to the Banks in respect of the Loans will be made to give effect to the allocations or reallocations described in this subsection.
Schedule of Specific Commitments 1. Each Party shall set out in a schedule the specific commitments it undertakes under Article 106 (National Treatment), Article 000 (Xxxxxx Xxxxxx) and Article 108 (Additional Commitments). With respect to sectors where such commitments are undertaken, each Schedule shall specify: (a) terms, limitations and conditions on market access; (b) conditions and qualifications on national treatment; (c) undertakings relating to additional commitments referred to in Article 108 (Additional Commitments); and (d) where appropriate, the time-frame for implementation of such commitments and the date of entry into force of such commitments. 2. Measures inconsistent with both Articles 106 (National Treatment) and 000 (Xxxxxx Xxxxxx) are inscribed in the column relating to Article 107 (Market Access). In this case, the inscription is considered to provide a condition or qualification to Article 106 (National Treatment) as well.
3. The Parties' Schedules of Specific Commitments are set out in Annex 6 (Schedules of Specific Commitments).
Increase of Commitment Increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender hereunder without the consent of such Lender;
Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders (a) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, from time to time after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrowers may, upon at least ten days’ written notice (or such shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion) to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Lender), propose to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (an “Incremental Revolving Commitment” or an “Incremental Facility”); provided that the aggregate amount of all Incremental Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate over the term of this Agreement. No Lender shall have any obligation to extend any Incremental Facility.
(b) The Borrowers may designate a bank or other financial institution (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) to extend such Incremental Facility (each, an “Additional Lender”), which at the time agrees to extend such Incremental Facility; provided however, that any new bank or financial institution must be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c) In the case of each Incremental Revolving Commitment:
(i) such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall have the same terms as the existing Revolving Commitments (other than any initial upfront fees paid to the Additional Lenders extending such Incremental Revolving Commitment); and
(ii) the outstanding Revolving Loans and the Pro Rata Share of L/C Obligations will be reallocated by the Administrative Agent on the applicable increase effective date among the Revolving Lenders (including the Additional Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment) in accordance with their revised Pro Rata Shares (and the Revolving Lenders (including the Additional Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment) agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the Borrowers shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to Section 2.18 in connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment).
(d) An Incremental Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of:
(i) a supplement or joinder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent executed by the Borrowers and by each Additional Lender setting forth the Incremental Revolving 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,
(ii) evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrowers with respect to the Incremental Facility, and
(iii) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers to the effect that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2(a) and (b) will be satisfied before and after giving effect to the incurrence of the Incremental Facility and (B) after giving effect to such increase and the payment of any related fees, the Borrowers would be in compliance on a pro forma basis with the covenants set forth in Section 8.4 (after giving effect to any Borrowings to be made on the date that the Incremental Facility becomes effective, and deeming any Incremental Revolving Commitment to be fully drawn for purposes of calculating such compliance).
(e) Upon the acceptance of any such agreement by the Administrative Agent, (i) the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount shall automatically be increased by the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments added through such agreement and (ii) Schedule I shall automatically be deemed amended to reflect the Commitments of all Lenders after giving effect to the addition of such Commitments.
(f) Each supplement or joinder agreement referred to in clause (d)(i) above may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provision of this Section 2.22, and for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.22 shall supersede any provisions of Sections 2.20 or 11.2 to the contrary.
Extension of Commitments The Commitments may be extended in the manner and amount set forth in this subsection (b), for a period of 364 days measured from the Termination Date then in effect. If the Company wishes to request an extension of each Bank's Commitment, it shall give notice to that effect to the Agent not less than 45 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, whereupon the Agent shall promptly notify each of the Banks of such request. Each Bank will use its best efforts to respond to such request, whether affirmatively or negatively, as it may elect in its discretion, within 30 days of such notice to the Agent. If any Bank shall not have responded affirmatively within such 30-day period, such Bank shall be deemed to have rejected the Company's proposal to extend its Commitment, and only the Commitments of those Banks which have responded affirmatively shall be extended, subject to receipt by the Agent of counterparts of an Extension Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto duly completed and signed by the Borrower, the Company, the Agent and all of the Banks which have responded affirmatively. The Agent shall provide to the Company, no later than 10 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, a list of the Banks which have responded affirmatively. The Extension Agreement shall be executed and delivered no later than five days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, and no extension of the Commitments pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be legally binding on any party hereto unless and until such Extension Agreement is so executed and delivered. The Company and the Borrower may decline to execute and deliver such Extension Agreement if any Bank has rejected the Company's proposal to extend its Commitment or has failed to execute and deliver such Extension Agreement, and will promptly notify the Agent and the Banks if it so declines.
Changes of Commitments (a) The Aggregate Commitments shall at all times be equal to the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts after adjustments resulting from reductions pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or increases pursuant to Section 2.03(d), and (ii) the Borrowing Base as determined from time to time.
(b) The Company shall have the right to terminate or to reduce the amount of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts at any time or from time to time upon not less than three (3) Business Days' prior notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks) of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which shall not be less than $10,000,000, or any whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof) and shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt by the Agent. The Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated.
(c) [reserved]
(d) The Company shall have the right, without the consent of the Banks but subject to the approval of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to effectuate from time to time an increase in the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts under this Agreement by adding to this Agreement one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions (who shall, upon completion of the requirements stated in this Section 2.03(d), constitute Banks hereunder), or by allowing one or more Banks to increase their Maximum Credit Amount hereunder, so that such added and increased Maximum Credit Amount(s) shall equal the increase in Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts effectuated pursuant to this Section 2.03(d); provided that: (i) no increase in the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) shall result in the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts exceeding $500,000,000, (ii) no Bank's Maximum Credit Amount shall be increased without the consent of such Bank, (iii) the Company shall prepay all of the Loans on the date of such increase and the Company may (subject to Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 6.02 and the other provisions hereof) reborrow on such date from the Banks based on the new Percentage Shares and shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 5.05 as a result of such prepayment, and (iv) the Company shall not have the right to increase the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) if any Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such increase. The Company shall give the Agent three (3) Business Days' prior written notice of its intent to increase the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.03(d). Such notice shall specify each new commercial bank or other financial institution, if any, the changes in amounts of Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts that will result, and such other information as is reasonably requested by the Agent. Each new commercial bank or other financial institution, and each Bank agreeing to increase its Maximum Credit Amount, shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Acceptance Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F pursuant to which it becomes a party hereto or increases its Maximum Credit Amount, as the case may be, which document, in the case of a new commercial bank or other financial institution, shall (among other matters) specify the Applicable Lending Office of such new commercial bank or other financial institution. In addition, the Agent shall prepare and deliver to the Company and each Bank a new Annex I reflecting the new Percentage Share of each Bank and its Maximum Credit Amount. Finally, the Company shall execute and deliver a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A, in the principal amount of the Maximum Credit Amount of each new commercial bank or other financial institution, or a replacement Note in the principal amount of the increased Maximum Credit Amount of each Bank agreeing to increase its Maximum Credit Amount, as the case may be. The Company shall also deliver other documents of the nature referred to in Section 6.01(a) to the Agent in such form and substance as may be reasonably required by it. Upon execution and delivery of the appropriate documentation and the delivery to it of its Note, such new commercial bank or other financial institution shall constitute a "Bank" hereunder with a Maximum Credit Amount as specified in the new Annex I delivered pursuant to this Section 2.03(d), or such Bank's Maximum Credit Amount shall increase as specified therein, as the case may be.
Schedule of Rates The specific rates and costs applicable to this Agreement are set forth in Exhibit B – Schedule of Rates, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full.
Reduction of Commitments The Parent shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (or such later time as may be reasonable acceptable to the Administrative Agent), to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portion of the Revolving Commitments; provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be permanent, with no obligation of the Revolving Lenders to reinstate such Revolving Commitments, and the Commitment Fees shall thereafter be computed on the basis of the Revolving Commitments, as so reduced. To the extent that a Revolving Commitment reduction would result in the Revolving Outstanding Amount exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall reduce the Revolving Outstanding Amount such that after giving effect to such reduction such excess has been eliminated. Such reductions shall be made to the extent necessary by first prepaying the Revolving Advances outstanding at such time, and second depositing in the Cash Collateral Account an amount of cash equal to 100% of the remaining excess to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral and applied to satisfy drawings under Letters of Credit as they occur. If after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Commitments under this Section, either the Aggregate Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Sublimit exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments as so reduced, the Aggregate Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swingline Sublimit or both, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.
STAFF COMMITMENT If this Settlement Agreement is accepted by the Hearing Panel, Staff will not initiate any proceeding under the By-laws of the MFDA against the Respondent in respect of the facts set out in Part IV and the contraventions described in Part V of this Settlement Agreement, subject to the provisions of Part IX below.

Furthermore, nothing in this Settlement Agreement shall relieve the Respondent from fulfilling any continuing regulatory obligations.
Termination of Commitments Declare the Commitments terminated whereupon the Commitments shall be immediately terminated.
