On the Restatement Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for the account of the Borrower. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended, so long as the Available Revolving Commitments of all Continuing Lenders would equal or exceed zero following such extension); provided, however, that any Letter of Credit, whether newly requested or an existing Letter of Credit that is extended or automatically renewed, may have an expiration date after the Revolving Termination Date (so long as such expiration date remains in compliance with clause (x) above) so long as the Borrower cash collateralizes such Letter of Credit at 101% of the available face amount of such Letter of Credit on or prior to the date which is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date and the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Lender providing such Letter of Credit agree to such expiration date at the time such Letter of Credit or extension is requested or at the time such existing Letter of Credit is to be automatically renewed, as applicable; provided further that any Letter of Credit (other than a Letter of Credit to which Section 2.18(c)(ii) applies) with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall only extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above if the condition described in the first proviso of this sentence is satisfied).

Incremental Revolving Commitments (a) The Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request during the Revolving Commitment Period the establishment of Incremental Revolving Commitments, provided that the aggregate amount of all the Incremental Revolving Commitments to be established hereunder on any date shall not exceed the Incremental Amount as of such date. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments being requested (which shall be an amount not less than $5,000,000) and (iii) the identity of each Person proposed to become an Incremental Revolving Lender in connection therewith (it being agreed that (x) any Lender approached to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Revolving Commitment and (y) any Person that the Borrower proposes to become an Incremental Revolving Lender, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be an Eligible Assignee and, if such approval would then be required under Section 10.6(c) for an assignment to such Person of a Commitment or Loan, must be approved by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)).
Loan Commitments Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
Tranche A Term Loans Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Tranche A Term Loan Lender agrees to make a Tranche A Term Loan to the Borrower on the Effective Date in a principal amount not exceeding its Tranche A Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid in respect of Tranche A Term Loans may not be reborrowed hereunder.
Increase in Revolving Commitments (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request that the total Revolving Commitment be increased by an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Revolving Facility Amount at such time. Upon the receipt of such request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to each Revolving Lender. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase (which shall be in minimum increments of $500,000 and a minimum amount of $2,500,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Revolving Facility Amount) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and which, in any event, must be prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), and shall offer each Revolving Lender the opportunity to increase its Revolving Commitment by its Pro Rata Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Revolving Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 10 days after the date of the Administrative Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Revolving Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each Revolving Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Revolving Lender”) or decline to increase its Revolving Commitment (and any Revolving Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment) (each Revolving Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a Non-Increasing Revolving Lender”). In the event that, on the 10th day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph, the Increasing Revolving Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase requested by the Borrower, such Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity being called an “Augmenting Revolving Lender”), which may include any Lender, to extend Revolving Commitments or increase their existing Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided, however, that each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Borrower and each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Commitment and/or its status as a Revolving Lender hereunder, Any such increase may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by the Borrower if such Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Revolving Lenders.
Term Loan Commitments Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in such principal amount as the Borrower shall request up to, but not exceeding such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.
