Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders (a) From time to time after the Closing Date and in accordance with this Section, the Borrower and one or more Increasing Lenders or Additional Lenders (each as defined below) may enter into an agreement to increase the aggregate Revolving Commitments hereunder (each such increase, an “Incremental Commitment”) so long as the following conditions are satisfied:
Termination of Loans In addition to BTC’s authority to terminate a loan of Securities pursuant to the terms of the applicable Securities Lending Agreement as described in Section 2.4 above, BTC shall terminate any Securities loan to a Borrower in accordance with the applicable Securities Lending Agreement promptly:
Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
Continuation of Type of Revolving Credit Loan Any Revolving --------------------------------------------- Credit Loan of any Type may be continued as a Revolving Credit Loan of the same Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions contained in (S)2.7.1; provided that no Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued as such -------- when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default of which officers of the Agent active upon the Borrower's account have actual knowledge. In the event that the Borrower fails to provide any such notice with respect to the continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan as such, then such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto. The Agent shall notify the Banks promptly when any such automatic conversion contemplated by this (S)2.7 is scheduled to occur.
Replacement of Affected Lenders (x) So long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists, if any Revolving Lender becomes an Impaired Lender, (y) if any Lender (or in the case of Section 2.9(i), Facing Agent) is owed increased costs under Section 2.9(i), Section 3.6(a)(ii) or (iii), or Section 3.6(c), or the Borrower is required to make any payments under Section 4.7(a) or (c) to any Lender, or (z) as provided in Section 12.1(b) in the case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed amendments, changes, supplements, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignees acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that no such Eligible Assignee is an Impaired Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), provided further that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Replaced Lender and Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more assignment agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to such parties and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire, at par, all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans by, the Replaced Lender (with the assignment fee paid by either the Replacement Lender or the Borrower) and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender (including, without limitation, such increased costs and including those specifically described in clause (y) above but excluding principal and interest in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being paid at par) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective assignment documentation, the payment of amounts referred to in clause (ii) above and the par purchase price referred to in (i) above, and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Loans hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, no Lender that acts as a Facing Agent may be replaced hereunder at any time during which such Facing Agent has Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, unless arrangements satisfactory to such Facing Agent (including (1) the furnishing of a standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, satisfactory to such Facing Agent or (2) the depositing of cash collateral into a collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to such Facing Agent) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit. The Replaced Lender shall be required to deliver for cancellation its applicable Notes to be canceled on the date of replacement, or if any such Note is lost or unavailable, such other assurances or indemnification therefor as the Borrower may reasonably request.
Additional Lenders Each of the Lenders party hereto that were not “Lenders” under the Existing Credit Agreement (each an “Additional Lender”, and collectively, the “Additional Lenders”) hereby extends to the Borrowers, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, such Additional Lender’s Commitment in the amount designated for such Additional Lender as set forth on Schedule 2.01, such Commitment being made on a several, and not joint and several, basis and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Each Additional Lender agrees that, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, such Additional Lender will be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such Additional Lender will promptly perform in accordance with the terms thereof all obligations and requirements which are required to be performed by a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Additional Lender represents and warrants that (i) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under this Agreement, (ii) from and after the Restatement Effective Date, it shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder, (iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement, and has received or has been accorded the opportunity to receive copies of the Audited Financial Statements and such other documents and information as it deems appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, and (iv) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend its Commitment to the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Additional Commitment Lenders The Company shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Maturity Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions that are not Ineligible Institutions (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) approved by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 2.19(b), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04, with the Company or replacement Lender obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the applicable Maturity Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date). Prior to any Non-Extending Lender being replaced by one or more Additional Commitment Lenders pursuant hereto, such Non-Extending Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, by giving irrevocable notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Company (which notice shall set forth such Lender’s new Maturity Date), to become an Extending Lender. The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide for any such extensions with the consent of the Company but without the consent of any other Lenders.

Replacement of Lender If the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender or if any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Floating Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3 or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an Assignment Agreement (and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment Agreement if it fails to do so) and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.3 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.
