Related to Increase of the Commitments and Maximum Available Revolving Credit Amount

• Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request that the Total Revolving Credit Commitment be increased by an amount not to exceed the Incremental Revolving Facility Amount at such time. Upon the approval of such request by the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to each Revolving Credit Lender. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment (which shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000 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 on or prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), and shall offer each Revolving Credit Lender the opportunity to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment by its Pro Rata Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Revolving Credit 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 Credit Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each Revolving Credit Lender so agreeing being an "INCREASING REVOLVING LENDER") or decline to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment (and any Revolving Credit Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment) (each Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Credit Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment requested by the Borrower, the Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity referred to in this clause (a) being called an "AUGMENTING REVOLVING LENDER"), which may include any Lender, to extend Revolving Credit Commitments or increase their existing Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; PROVIDED that each Augmenting Revolving Lender, if not already a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Borrower and each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or its status as a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder. Any increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment may be made in an amount which is less than the increase requested by the Borrower if the Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Revolving Lenders.

• 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.

• Increase of the Commitments (a) The Borrower may, from time to time, request by written notice to the Administrative Agent to increase the Commitments by a maximum aggregate amount for all such increases of up to $200,000,000, by designating one or more Lenders or other financial institutions (that will become Lenders), in each case, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and acceptable to the Swingline Lender and each LC Issuing Bank, in their respective sole discretion, that agree to accept all or a portion of such additional Commitments (each a “Designated Lender”).

• Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitment The Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Closing Date upon five (5) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent to permanently reduce (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their Ratable Shares) the Revolving Credit Commitments, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and whole multiples of $1,000,000, or to terminate completely the Revolving Credit Commitments, without penalty or premium except as hereinafter set forth; provided that any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Notes, together with outstanding Commitment Fees, and the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section 5.10 [Indemnity] hereof) to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Usage after giving effect to such prepayments to be equal to or less than the Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced or terminated. Any notice to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.11 shall be irrevocable.

• 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)).

• Increase in Revolving Credit Facility The references to “$20,000,000” in Section 2.1 of the Credit Agreement and in Section 2.2(a) of the Credit Agreement are deleted and are replaced by “$60,000,000”.

• Revolving Commitment Increase (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.1, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower shall have the right from time to time, to cause an increase in the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) by adding to this Agreement one or more additional Eligible Assignees that are not already Revolving Lenders hereunder and that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender (each, a “New Revolving Lender”) or by allowing one or more existing Revolving Lenders to increase their respective Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) both before and immediately after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the effective date of such Revolving Commitment Increase (such date, the “Revolving Commitment Increase Date”), (ii) no such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an amount less than $10,000,000 (unless the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments then in effect is greater than $390,000,000), (iii) after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $600,000,000, (iv) no Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be increased without such Revolving Lender’s prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in such Revolving Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) and (v) the only Revolving Commitment Increase that may occur on or after the Tenth Amendment Effective Date is a single Revolving Commitment Increase in an aggregate amount not exceeding $200,000,000 on (and subject to the occurrence of) the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date. The foregoing clause (i) and the following Section 2.10(b) and Section 2.10(e) shall not be applicable to the 2014 Revolving Commitment Increase and the only conditions to the 2014 Revolving Commitment Increase shall be those conditions set forth in Section 4 of the Eleventh Amendment.

• Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments If the maturity date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(d)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.17. If, for any reason, such Cash Collateral is not provided or the reallocation does not occur, the Revolving Credit Lenders under the maturing tranche shall continue to be responsible for their participating interests in the Letters of Credit. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, the occurrence of a maturity date with respect to a given tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Credit Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such maturity date. Commencing with the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Lenders under the extended tranches.

• Revolving Committed Amount If at any time after the Closing Date, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans plus outstanding Swingline Loans plus outstanding LOC Obligations shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and (after all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have been repaid) Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vii) below).

• Revolving Credit Commitment Fee The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders in accordance with their Revolver Percentages a commitment fee at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed) on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitments. Such commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September, and December in each year (commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof) and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the commitment fee for the period to the date of such termination in whole shall be paid on the date of such termination.
