The Agent shall notify each Lender without undue delay after receipt of an Additional Commitment Request of the terms of that Additional Commitment Request by forwarding a copy of that Additional Commitment Request to each Lender. If the Additional Commitments are offered only to the Lenders, the Agent shall also notify each Lender of its potential Pro Rata Portion. (b) Within 15 Business Days of receipt of a copy of such Additional Commitment Request from the Agent (the "First Response Period"), each Lender shall notify the Agent and the Company whether it is prepared to participate in the Additional Commitments in its Pro Rata Portion. Any Lender which has not responded to the Agent within such period shall be deemed to have declined to participate in such Additional Commitment. (c) If the aggregate of the amounts (the "Committed Amount") notified by the Lenders prepared to participate in the Additional Commitment (each a "Participating Lender") to the Agent in accordance with, and within the period set out in, paragraph (b) above is equal to the Requested Additional Commitment Amount, the Agent shall allocate the participations in the Additional Commitments to each Participating Lender based on the Pro Rata Portion of each Lender. If the Committed Amount is less than the Requested Additional Commitment Amount due to not all Lenders being Participating Lenders or a Participating Lender only willing to commit less than its Pro Rata Portion the Agent shall allocate the Additional Commitments to each Participating Lender based on the amounts notified by them (provided that no allocation shall be made in excess of a Pro Rata Portion of a Participating Lender) and shall then proceed as set out in paragraph (d) below.

Each Participating Lender shall confirm in writing within five Business Days after that notice being given by the Agent its willingness to assume the respective Additional Commitments by executing a respective Increase Confirmation as further specified in paragraph (c) of Clause 2.2 (Increase). (d) If the Agent determines that the Committed Amount is less than the Requested Additional Commitment Amount, it shall notify the Company and each Participating Lender without undue delay thereof and of the balance of the Requested Additional Commitment Amount and the Committed Amount (the "Additional Commitment Shortfall"). (e) Each Participating Lender may then within five Business Days of such notification notify the Agent and the Company whether or not it is willing to increase its participation in the Additional Commitments (and if so by which amount). Any Participating Lender which has not responded to the Agent within such period shall be deemed to have declined to further increase its participation in the Additional Commitments. If the Agent then determines that the further increase in the Additional Commitments offered by the relevant Participating Lenders is equal to or less than the Additional Commitment Shortfall, it shall allocate further participations in the Requested Additional Commitments to each Participating Lender on the basis of the additional amounts offered by the respective Participating Lender. If the Agent determines that the aggregate amount of the further increase in the Additional Commitments offered by the relevant Participating Lenders is higher than the Additional Commitment Shortfall, it shall allocate the further participations pro rata based on the total amount of all Additional Commitments offered by Participating Lenders pursuant to this paragraph (e) and the share of each Participating Lender in such total amount. Sentences 3 and 4 of paragraph (c) above shall then apply mutatis mutandis. (f) If the Agent then determines that the aggregate amount of the Participating Lenders' Committed Amount is less than the Requested Additional Commitment Amount, it shall notify the Company without undue delay of such occurrence and of the final Additional Commitment Shortfall. The Company may then within 20 Business Days of such notice select any other bank, financial institution, trusts, funds or other entities (each of which shall not be a member of the Group) to participate in the respective Additional Commitments provided that the aggregate amount of such participations shall not exceed the amount of the final Additional Commitment Shortfall and further provided that such potential lender confirms in writing within such 20 Business Days its willingness to assume the respective Additional Commitments as further specified in paragraph (c) of Clause 2.2 (Increase) by executing the respective Increase Confirmation.
