At any time during the period from and after the Sixth Restatement Effective Date, at the option of Borrowers (but subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b) below), the Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount may be increased by an amount in the aggregate for all such increases of the Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount not to exceed the Available Increase Amount (each such increase, an “Increase”); provided, that in no event shall the Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount be increased by an amount in excess of the Available Increase Amount. Agent may invite one or more Lenders to increase its Revolver Commitments (as the case may be) (it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolver Commitments) in connection with a proposed Increase and Agent or Borrowers may invite any prospective lender who is reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Borrowers to become a Lender in connection with a proposed Increase. Any Increase shall be in an amount of at least $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.

At any time during the period from and after the Closing Date through but excluding the date that is the second year anniversary of the Closing Date, at the option of Borrowers (but subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b) below), the Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount may be increased by an amount in the aggregate for all such increases of the Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount not to exceed the Available Increase Amount (each such increase, an “Increase”). Agent shall invite each Lender to increase its Revolver Commitments (it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolver Commitments) in connection with a proposed Increase at the interest margin proposed by Borrowers; provided that in the event the Lenders do not agree to provide Revolver Commitments in respect of the full amount of the proposed Increase, the Borrowers may invite any Eligible Transferee or any other Person acceptable to Agent to provide such additional Revolver Commitments. Any Increase shall be in an amount of at least $2,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $500,000.00 in excess thereof. In no event may the Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount be increased pursuant to this Section 2.14 on more than two (2) occasions in the aggregate for all such Increases. Additionally, for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Increases to the Revolver Commitments exceed $5,000,000.00.

“(a) At any time from and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, and so long as Borrower has at no time reduced the Commitments pursuant to [Section 2.4(b)], at the option of Borrower (but subject to the conditions set forth in [Section 2.2(b)] below), the Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount may be increased by an amount in the aggregate for all such increases of the Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount not to exceed the Available Increase Amount (each such increase, an “Increase”). Agent shall invite each Lender to increase its Commitments (it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitments) in connection with a proposed Increase at the interest margin proposed by Borrower, and if sufficient Lenders do not agree to increase their Commitments in connection with such proposed Increase, then Agent or Borrower may invite any prospective lender who is reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Borrower to become a Lender in connection with a proposed Increase. Additionally, for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Increases to the Commitments after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date exceed $135,000,000 and the Maximum Revolver Amount shall not exceed $300,000,000.”

Borrower Agent may, at any time, deliver a written request to Agent to increase the Maximum Revolver Amount. Any such written request shall specify the amount of the increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount that Borrowers are requesting, provided, that, # in no event shall the aggregate amount of any such increase cause the Maximum Revolver Amount to exceed $200,000,000, # such request shall be for an increase of not less than $5,000,000, # any such request shall be irrevocable, # in no event shall there be more than one such increase in any calendar quarter, # in no event shall there be more than three such increases during the term of this Agreement, # no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing and # in no event shall there be any such increase after the date on which the Commitments have been reduced pursuant to Section 2.4(c) of this Agreement.

The Maximum Revolver Amount shall be increased by the amount of the increase in the applicable Revolver Commitments from Revolving Lenders or new Revolver Commitments from Eligible Transferees, in each case selected in accordance with Section 2.14(b) above, for which Agent has received Assignment and Acceptances thirty (30) days after the date of the request by Borrowers for the increase or such earlier date as Agent and Borrowers may agree (but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below), whether or not the aggregate amount of the increase in Revolver Commitments and new Revolver Commitments, as the case may be, equal or exceed the amount of the increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount requested by Borrower Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, effective on the date that each of the following conditions have been satisfied:

Increase in Revolver Commitments Borrowers, through Borrower Agent, may request an increase in Revolver Commitments from time to time upon notice to Agent, as long as # such increase is approved by Agent in its Permitted Discretion and is subject to terms and conditions mutually agreed upon by Agent and Borrower Agent, # the requested increase is in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount which would, when added to all previously authorized increases pursuant hereto, cause such increase to reach the maximum amount set forth below) and is offered on the same terms as existing Revolver Commitments, except for a closing fee specified by Borrowers, # increases under this Section do not collectively exceed $75,000,000 thereof (as determined by Agent) in the aggregate and no more than 4 increases are made, # no reduction in Commitments pursuant to [Section 2.1.4] has occurred prior to the requested increase and # the requested increase does not cause the Commitments to exceed 90% of any applicable cap under any Subordinated Debt agreement or the Indenture (the “Accordion”). Agent shall promptly notify Lenders of the requested increase and, within 10 Business Days thereafter, each Lender shall notify Agent if and to what extent such Lender commits to increase its Revolver Commitment. Agent shall promptly notify Borrower Agent of each Lender’s response. Any Lender not responding within such period shall be deemed to have declined an increase. If Lenders fail to commit to the full requested increase, Eligible Assignees may issue additional Revolver Commitments and become Lenders hereunder so as to bring the Revolver Commitment up to the amount requested by Borrower Agent. Agent may allocate, in its discretion, the increased Revolver Commitments among committing Lenders and, if necessary, Eligible Assignees. If the full increase requested by Borrower’s Agent is not committed to by the Lenders after taking into account the participation of Eligible Assignees, then the Revolving Commitment nonetheless shall be increased to the extent any Lender or Lenders and/or Eligible Assignees expressly commit thereto pursuant to this [Section 2.1.7]. Provided the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied, total Revolver Commitments shall be increased by the requested amount (or such lesser amount committed by any Lender or Lenders and Eligible Assignees) on a date agreed upon by Agent and Borrower Agent. Agent, Borrowers, and new and existing Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements as Agent deems appropriate to evidence the increase in and allocations of Revolver Commitments. On the effective date of an increase, all outstanding Revolver Loans, LC Obligations and other exposures under the Revolver Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders, and settled by Agent if necessary, in accordance with Lenders’ adjusted shares of such Commitments.

As of the effective date of any such increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount, each reference to the term Commitments, Maximum Revolver Amount and Maximum Credit herein, as applicable, and in any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed amended to mean the amount of the Revolver Commitments, Maximum Revolver Amount and Maximum Credit specified in the most recent written notice from Agent to Borrower Agent of the increase in the Revolver Commitments, Maximum Revolver Amount and Maximum Credit, as applicable.
