“SECTION 2.18. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, at any time by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments by not less than $5,000,000 (each such proposed increase, a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments at any time exceed $350,000,000 and (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the conditions set forth in Sections 3.01(a)(i) and 3.02 shall be satisfied.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of each request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each, an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment (an “Increased Commitment Amount”). If the Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment
11
Increase shall be allocated to each Lender willing to participate therein in an amount equal to the Commitment Increase multiplied by the ratio of each Lender’s Increased Commitment Amount to the aggregate amount of all Increased Commitment Amounts.
(c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, or, if less than $5,000,000, the amount of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the applicable Commitment Date.
(d) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.18(c) (an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.18(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:
(i) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each, an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Assuming Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and
(ii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.18(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by telecopier or telex, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date.
(e) On the Increase Date, each Assuming Lender and each Increasing Lender, without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased an assignment from each Lender that is not an Assuming Lender or an Increasing Lender (an “Other Lender”) of a portion of the Advances then outstanding and owed to such Other Lender under this Agreement in an amount equal to (i) with respect to each Assuming Lender, such Assuming Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of the increase in the Revolving Credit Facility on the Increase Date) of all Advances owed to such Other Lender immediately prior to
12
the effectiveness of the increase in the Revolving Credit Facility on the Increase Date, and (ii) with respect to each Increasing Lender, the product of (A) the ratio, expressed as a percentage, obtained by dividing (1) the amount by which such Increasing Lender’s Commitment is increasing on the Increase Date by (2) the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility immediately following the increase thereof effected on the Increase Date, multiplied by, (B) all Advances owed to such Other Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of the increase in the Revolving Credit Facility on the Increase Date. The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid by each Assuming Lender and Increasing Lender and received by each Other Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Increase Date. Each Assuming Lender and Increasing Lender shall make the amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Increase Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Increase Date the proceeds of such amount to each of the Other Lenders entitled to receive such payments at its Applicable Lending Office.”
(dd) Section 3.02 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in full to read as follows:
“SECTION 3.02. Conditions Precedent to Each Borrowing, Issuance, Renewal, Commitment Increase and Extension.

(ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from (A) such Borrowing, issuance, renewal, extension or increase or (B) in the case of any Borrowing or issuance or renewal, from the application of the proceeds therefrom; and
