Commitments to Lend Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.01 from time to time during the Availability Period in amounts such that its Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed its Commitment; provided, that, immediately after giving effect to each such Revolving Loan, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans (after giving effect to any amount requested) shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments less the sum of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities. Each Revolving Borrowing (other than Mandatory Letter of Credit Borrowings) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or any larger integral multiple of $1,000,000 (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments) and shall be made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, repay, or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.10, prepay, Revolving Loans and reborrow under this Section 2.01.
Revolver Commitment for any Lender, its obligation to make Revolver Loans and to participate in LC Obligations up to the maximum principal amount shown on Schedule 1.1, or as hereafter determined pursuant to each Assignment and Acceptance to which it is a party. “Revolver Commitments” means the aggregate amount of such commitments of all Lenders.

Other Commitments (1) If provisions in the legislation of either Contracting Party or rules of international law entitle investments by investors of the other Contracting Party to treatment more favourable than is provided for by this Agreement, such provisions shall to the extent that they are more favourable prevail over this Agreement.
Increase of Commitments (a) If no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, since the Effective Date, the Borrowers may at any time from time to time prior to the Maturity Date request one or more increases of the US Revolving Commitments, Canadian Revolving Commitments or the UK Revolving Commitments by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of such proposed increase (each such notice, a “Commitment Increase Notice”); provided, however, that, (i) none of the US Revolving Commitment, the Canadian Revolving Commitment or the UK Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender may be increased without such Revolving Lender’s consent, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Commitments as so increased shall not exceed $175,000,000, (iii) any increase in either the Canadian Revolving Commitment or the UK Revolving Commitment, each as herein provided, shall require a corresponding dollar per dollar increase in the US Revolving Commitment (such corresponding increase shall not be deemed to be an additional increase), (iv) the Commitments may not be increased without the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (v) that portion of the Revolving Commitments representing an increase in the Revolving Commitments made pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall only be available for the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder (for purposes of determining compliance with this clause (v) Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be the last credit extended under a Revolving Commitment - it being intended that no Borrower shall be in violation of this clause (v) unless the principal amount of Revolving Loans and Protective Advances outstanding to such Borrower exceed the amount of the aggregate Revolving Commitments to such Borrower before giving effect to such increase), and (vi) the aggregate amount of such increases during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed $25,000,000.
The Commitments Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein:
Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans Each Lender shall be obligated to participate in each request for Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] in accordance with its Ratable Share. The aggregate of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding hereunder to the Borrower at any time shall never exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of the outstanding Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several. The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower to any other party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on or after the Expiration Date.
Voluntary Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments Upon at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class in whole or in part, provided that (a) any such reduction shall apply proportionately and permanently to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each of the Lenders of such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, except that (i) notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the establishment on any date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (including, without limitation, the 2016 Revolving Credit Commitments) pursuant to Section 2.14(f), the Revolving Credit Commitments of any one or more Lenders providing any such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such date shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount of Revolving Credit Commitments so extended on such date (provided that (x) after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Revolving Credit Loans made on such date, the Revolving Credit Exposure of any such Lender does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment thereof (such Revolving Credit Exposure and Revolving Credit Commitment being determined in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, exclusive of such Lender’s Extended Revolving Credit Commitment and any exposure in respect thereof) and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, any such repayment of Revolving Credit Loans contemplated by the preceding clause shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 5.3(a) with respect to the ratable allocation of payments hereunder, with such allocation being determined after giving effect to any conversion pursuant to Section 2.14(f) of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.14(f) prior to any reduction being made to the Revolving Credit Commitment of any other Lender) and (ii) Borrower may at its election permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender to $0 without affecting the Revolving Credit Commitments of any other Lender, (b) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000 and (c) after giving effect to such termination or reduction and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the date thereof in accordance with this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. As a condition to the effectiveness of each reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments of a Class which is not made proportionately among all Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall have repaid any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans such that, at the time of the effectiveness of such reduction, there are no Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans outstanding.
Increase in Commitments The Borrower may, at its option, at any time or from time to time prior to the Termination Date, increase the Total Commitments (each such increase, a “Commitment Increase” and the additional Commitments pursuant to each such Commitment Increase, “Incremental Commitments”) to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $225,000,000400,000,000 (with each Commitment Increase being in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Minimum Increase Amount”) or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of the Minimum Increase Amount) by requesting that existing Lenders or new lenders commit to any such increase; provided that: (i) no Lender shall be required to commit to any such increase; (ii) no such increase shall become effective unless at the time thereof and after giving effect thereto (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects, provided, that, to the extent any such representation and warranty is already qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, such representation shall be true and correct in all respects, and (C) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from the Borrower to the effect of (A) and (B) of clause (ii); and (iii) no new lender shall become a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless such lender is an Eligible Assignee and the Administrative Agent shall have given its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Borrower shall be entitled to pay upfront or other fees to such lenders who extend credit pursuant to this Section 2.21 as the Borrower and such lenders may agree. Each Commitment Increase shall become effective on the date (each such date, an “Increased Facility Closing Date”) specified in an activation notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such notice specifying the amount of the increase and the effective date thereof. Each new lender that provides any part of any such increase in the Commitments (a “New Lender”) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit E, whereupon such New Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement to such extent. On any Increased Facility Closing Date, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the Lenders shall be deemed to assign to each Person with Incremental Commitments (each, an “Incremental Lender”) and each of the Incremental Lenders shall be deemed to purchase from each of the Lenders, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Facility Closing Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Revolving Loans will be held by the Lenders (including Incremental Lenders) ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Commitments to the Commitments, (ii) each Incremental Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Commitment and each Revolving Loan made thereunder (an “Incremental Loan”) shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Loan and (iii) each Incremental Lender that is a New Lender shall become a Lender in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Loans and Incremental Commitments shall be substantially identical to the terms and conditions of the Revolving Loans and Commitments.
