Each of the Lenders agrees that upon the addition of any Lender or the increase in the Commitment of any Lender, the Agent shall, without the further consent of the Lenders, amend Schedule 2.01 to reflect such increase or addition and may amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to make such conforming changes

The Agent agrees to provide to the Lenders and the Borrower an executed copy of any amendments made pursuant to this Section 2.14.
