Increase (a) The Company may by giving prior notice to the Agent by no later than the date falling 20 Business Days after the effective date of a cancellation of: (i) the Available Commitments of a Defaulting Lender in accordance with Clause 9.5 (Right of cancellation in relation to a Defaulting Lender); or (ii) the Commitments of a Lender in accordance with Clause 9.1 (Illegality), request that the Total Commitments be increased (and the Total Commitments shall be so increased) in an aggregate Base Currency Amount of up to the amount of the Available Commitments or Commitments so cancelled as follows: (iii) the increased Commitments will be assumed by one or more Lenders or other banks, financial institutions, trusts, funds or other entities (each an “Increase Lender”) selected by the Company (each of which shall not be an Investor Affiliate or a member of the Group) and which is further acceptable to the Agent (acting reasonably) and each of which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of a Lender corresponding to that part of the increased Commitments which it is to assume, as if it had been an Original Lender; (iv) each of the Obligors and any Increase Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another as the Obligors and the Increase Lender would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender; (v) each Increase Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and any Increase Lender and each of the other Finance Parties shall assume obligations towards one another and acquire rights against one another as that Increase Lender and those Finance Parties would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender; (vi) the Commitments of the other Lenders shall continue in full force and effect; and (vii) any increase in the Total Commitments shall take effect on the date specified by the Company in the notice referred to above or any later date on which the conditions set out in paragraph (b) below are satisfied. (b) An increase in the Total Commitments will only be effective on: (i) the execution by the Agent of an Increase Confirmation from the relevant Increase Lender; (ii) in relation to an Increase Lender which is not a Lender immediately prior to the relevant increase: (A) the Increase Lender entering into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the Intercreditor Agreement; and (B) the performance by the Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assumption of the increased Commitments by that Increase Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Company and the Increase Lender. (c) Each Increase Lender, by executing the Increase Confirmation, confirms (for the avoidance of doubt) that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the increase becomes effective. (d) Unless the Agent otherwise agrees or the increased Commitment is assumed by an existing Lender, the Company shall, on the date upon which the increase takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of £1,500 and the Company shall within three (3) Business Days of demand pay the Agent and the Security Agent the amount of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by either of them and, in the case of the Security Agent, by any Receiver or Delegate in connection with any increase in Commitments under this Clause 2.2. (e) The Company may pay to the Increase Lender a fee in the amount and at the times agreed between the Company and the Increase Lender in a Fee Letter. (f) Clause 27.4 (Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders) shall apply mutatis mutandis in this Clause 2.2 in relation to an Increase Lender as if references in that Clause to: (i) an “Existing Lender” were references to all the Lenders immediately prior to the relevant increase; (ii) the “New Lender” were references to that “Increase Lender”; and (iii) a “re-transfer” and “re-assignment” were references to respectively a “transfer” and “assignment”.
Commitment Reductions Any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments required or permitted hereunder shall reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment on a pro rata basis based on the Commitment Ratio of such Lender for the Revolving Loan Commitment.
Reduction A. No regular employee or limited-term regular employee shall be reduced to a position in a lower class for reasons of unsatisfactory performance or physical disability except for reasonable cause. B. A written notice of such reduction stating specifically the cause of the reduction shall be given to the employee. C. In accordance with the provisions of Article X, an appeal of reduction for reasons of unsatisfactory performance or physical disability shall be initiated at the Step 2 of the grievance/appeal procedure; except for reductions imposed by the County Executive Officer which may be referred directly to arbitration.
Commitment Reduction The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or, upon same day notice, from time to time to permanently reduce ratably in part the unused portion of the Commitments; provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, further, that the Commitments may not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate Stated Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit. Subject to the foregoing, any reduction of the Commitments to an amount below $100,000,000 shall also result in a reduction of the L/C Commitment Amount to the extent of such deficit (with automatic reductions in the amount of each L/C Fronting Bank Commitment ratably in proportion to the amount of such reduction of the L/C Commitment Amount). Each such notice of termination or reduction shall be irrevocable. Without limiting subsection (b) below, any Commitment reduced or terminated pursuant to this subsection (a) may not be reinstated.

The Funding Agent shall promptly provide each such Borrowing Notice to the Co-Agents. Each Borrowing Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested increase in Aggregate Principal (which shall not be less than $5,000,000 or a larger integral multiple of $100,000) and the Borrowing Date and the requested Interest Rate and Interest Period for any portion to be funded by any Committed Lender. Upon receipt of a Borrowing Notice, (a) each Unaffiliated Committed Lender severally agrees to fund a Loan in an amount equal to its Percentage of the requested Advance specified in such Borrowing Notice, and (b) each Co-Agent shall determine whether its Conduit will fund a Loan in an amount equal to its Conduit Group’s Percentage of the requested Advance specified in such Borrowing Notice. If a Conduit declines to make its Percentage of a proposed Advance, Borrower may cancel the Borrowing Notice as to all Lenders or, in the absence of such a cancellation, the Advance will be made by each Unaffiliated Committed Lender, each other Conduit and such Conduit’s Committed Lenders. On the date of each Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, each applicable Lender will cause the proceeds of its Loan comprising a portion of such Advance to be deposited to the Funding Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 2:30 p.m. (New York City time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Conduit or an Unaffiliated Committed Lender, its Percentage of the principal amount of the requested Advance or (ii) in the case of a Conduit’s Committed Lender, each such Committed Lender’s Pro Rata Share of its Conduit Group’s Percentage of the principal amount of the requested Advance. The Funding Agent shall remit such funds (to the extent received in the Funding Account) to the Facility Account, no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date.
