• Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

• Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments The Borrower may, from time to time, on any Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments by delivering a Commitment Amount Increase Request substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the desired effective date of such increase (the “Commitment Amount Increase”) identifying one or more additional Lenders (or additional Revolving Credit Commitments for existing Lender(s) or by a combination of existing Lenders and additional Lenders) and the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment (or additional amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment(s)); provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall not be increased to an amount in excess of $150,000,000, (ii) any Commitment Amount Increase shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or such lesser amount as approved by the Administrative Agent, (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the request or the effective date of the Commitment Amount Increase and (iv) all representations and warranties contained in Section 6 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) at the time of such request and on the effective date of such Commitment Amount Increase except for representations and warranties that relate to a prior date, which shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) as of the applicable date on which they were made. The effective date of the Commitment Amount Increase shall be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness thereof, the new Lender(s) (or, if applicable, existing Lender(s)) shall advance Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient such that after giving effect to its advance each Lender shall have outstanding its Revolver Percentage of Revolving Loans. It shall be a condition to such effectiveness that if any Eurodollar Loans are outstanding under the Revolving Credit on the date of such effectiveness, such Eurodollar Loans shall be deemed to be prepaid on such date and the Borrower shall pay any amounts owing to the Lenders pursuant to Section 1.11 hereof. In the event that the Borrower shall have terminated any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 1.11 hereof, the terminated commitment amount shall reduce the Commitment Amount Increase by the terminated commitment amount. The Borrower agrees to pay any reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent relating to any Commitment Amount Increase and arrangement fees related thereto as agreed upon in writing between Administrative Agent and the Borrower, if any. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and no Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.

• Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each Lender thereof), to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

• 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 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.

• Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

• Revolving Credit Commitments (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a loan or loans (individually a “Revolving Loan” and collectively for all the Lenders the “Revolving Loans”) in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower from time to time on a revolving basis up to the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, subject to any reductions thereof pursuant to the terms hereof, before the Revolving Credit Termination Date. The sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations at any time outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders in effect at such time and (ii) the Borrowing Base as then determined and computed. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver Percentages. As of the Closing Date immediately prior to the initial Borrowing of Revolving Loans under this Agreement, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans advanced under the Prior Credit Agreement is $148,100,000, which outstanding Revolving Loans advanced under the Prior Credit Agreement shall continue as outstanding Revolving Loans under this Agreement. As provided in Section 1.6(a) hereof, the Borrower may elect that each Borrowing of Revolving Loans be either Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. Revolving Loans may be repaid and the principal amount thereof reborrowed before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

• 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.

• Term Loan Commitments Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in such principal amount as the Borrower shall request up to, but not exceeding such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.

• Incremental Term Loan Commitments (a) Lead Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that one or more Lenders (or one or more Eligible Transferees who will become Lenders) provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to the Borrowers and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the relevant Incremental Term Loan Amendment, make Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a result of any such request by Lead Borrower, (ii) any Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars, (iv) the amount of Incremental Term Loan Commitments made available pursuant to a given Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment thereunder (including Eligible Transferees who will become Lenders) of at least $25,000,000, (v) the aggregate principal amount of any Incremental Term Loans on the date of the incurrence thereof shall not exceed, when taken together with any incurrence of Permitted Pari Passu Notes or Permitted Junior Debt pursuant to Section 10.04(xxvii)(A)(1) on such date, (x) the then-remaining Fixed Dollar Incremental Amount as of the date of incurrence plus (y) subject to the satisfaction of the applicable Incurrence-Based Incremental Facility Test, any Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount that may be incurred thereunder on such date, (vi) the proceeds of all Incremental Term Loans incurred by the Borrowers may be used for any purpose not prohibited under this Agreement, (vii) Lead Borrower shall specifically designate, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, the Tranche of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche shall be a new Tranche (i.e., not the same as any existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Term Loan Commitments or other Term Loans), unless the requirements of Section 2.15(c) are satisfied), which designation shall be set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment, (viii) if to be incurred as a new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, such Incremental Term Loans shall have the same terms as each other Tranche of Term Loans as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the relevant Incremental Term Loan Agreement, except as to purpose (which is subject to the requirements of the preceding clause (vi)) and optional prepayment provisions and mandatory prepayment provisions (which are governed by Section 5.02; provided that each new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to share in mandatory prepayments on a ratable basis with the other Tranches of Term Loans (unless the holders of the Incremental Term Loans of any Tranche agree to take a lesser share of any such prepayments)); provided, however, that (I) the maturity and amortization of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ, so long as such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have (a) a Maturity Date of no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date as of the date such Indebtedness was incurred and (b) a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity as then in effect for the Tranche of then outstanding Term Loans with the then longest Weighted Average Life to Maturity (in each case of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), excluding for this purpose, interim loan financings that provide for automatic rollover, subject to customary conditions, to Indebtedness otherwise meeting the requirements of this clause (I)), (II) the Effective Yield applicable to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ from that applicable to the then outstanding Tranches of Term Loans, with the Effective Yield applicable thereto to be specified in the respective Incremental Term Loan Amendment; provided, however, that if the Effective Yield for any such Incremental Term Loans incurred prior the date that is six (6) months after the First Restatement Effective Date, exceeds the Effective Yield then applicable to any then outstanding Initial Term Loans by more than 0.75% per annum, the Applicable Margins for all then outstanding Initial Term Loans shall be increased as of such date in accordance with the requirements of the definition of “Applicable Margin” and (III) such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may have other terms (other than those described in preceding clauses (I) and (II)) that may differ from those of other Tranches of Term Loans, including, without limitation, as to the application of optional or voluntary prepayments among the Incremental Term Loans and the existing Term Loans, in each case, taken as a whole, that are not materially more favorable to the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans than the provisions applicable to the existing Term Loans or as are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ix) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) incurred by the Borrowers shall be Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the Security Agreements, and guaranteed under each relevant Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Term Loans secured by the Security Agreement and guaranteed under each such Guaranty, (x) each Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Amendment as provided in Section 2.01(b) and such Term Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and (xi) all Incremental Term Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied.
