Reductions in Aggregate Commitment. The Borrowers may permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole, or in a minimum aggregate amount of $25,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, if denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars), ratably among [[Organization B:Organization]], upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding Advances.

If # any Lender notifies the Company in accordance with [Section 3.5(d) or (ii)])] a Borrower reasonably determines that it is or will be required to make any additional payment to any Lender under [Sections 3.1 or 3.2], then the Company may, at any time thereafter (provided that no Default or Unmatured Default then exists and no satisfactory solution has been reached pursuant to [Section 3.6]) and by not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent, cancel such Lender’s Commitment, whereupon such Lender shall cease to be obliged to make further Loans hereunder and its Commitment shall be reduced to zero. Upon termination of such Lender’s Commitment, each applicable Borrower shall, subject to the last sentence of this [Section 2.6(b)], pay all outstanding Obligations owing to such Lender. Any notice of cancellation given pursuant to this [Section 2.6(b)] shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date upon which such cancellation is to take effect.

(i) The Company may at any time propose that the Aggregate Commitment be increased (the amount of such increase being a “Commitment Increase”), effective as at a date prior to the Termination Date and at least 15 days after the Company proposes any such increase to the Agent in writing (an “Increase Date”) as to which agreement is to be reached by an earlier date specified in such notice (a “Commitment Date”); provided, however, that # the Company may not propose more than two Commitment Increases in any calendar year, # the Company may not propose more than five Commitment Increases pursuant to this Agreement, # the minimum proposed Commitment Increase per notice shall be $10,000,000, # in no event shall the Aggregate Commitment hereunder at any time exceed $4,500,000,000, and # no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Increase Date. The Agent shall notify [[Organization B:Organization]] thereof promptly upon its receipt of any such notice. The Agent agrees that it will cooperate with the Company in discussions with [[Organization B:Organization]] and other lending institutions with a view to arranging the proposed Commitment Increase through the increase of the Commitments of one or more of [[Organization B:Organization]] (each such Lender that is willing to increase its Commitment hereunder being an “Increasing Lender”) and/or through Commitments provided by one or more Assuming [[Organization B:Organization]]; provided, however, that it shall be in each Lender’s sole discretion whether to increase its Commitment hereunder in connection with the proposed Commitment Increase; and provided further that the minimum Commitment of each Assuming Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to this [Section 2.6(c)] shall be at least equal to $10,000,000.

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 Closing Date) 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.
