  • Optional Increase in Commitments Following the Effective Date, the Borrower may, if it so elects, increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments, either by designating a financial institution not theretofore a Lender (a “New Lender”) to become a Lender (such designation to be effective only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender, which consents will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), or by agreeing with an existing Lender that such Lender’s Commitment shall be increased. Upon execution and delivery by the Borrower and such Lender or New Lender of an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, together with such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the increased Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the increased Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, such existing Lender shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or such other financial institution shall become a Lender with a Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such a Commitment hereunder; provided: (i) that the Borrower shall provide prompt notice of such increase to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the Lenders; (ii) the conditions set forth in Sections 3.02(c) and (d) shall be satisfied on and as of the effective date of any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18; (iii) that any such increase shall be in an amount which is a multiple of $10,000,000; and (iv) that immediately after such increase is made, the aggregate amount of increases in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall not exceed $250,000,000. On the effective date of any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18, (i) each New Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate outstanding Loans (and funded participations, if any, in Letters of Credit) and (ii) any Lender whose Commitment has been increased (an “Increasing Lender”) shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the increase in its pro rata share of the aggregate outstanding Loans (and funded participations as above); in each case such payments shall be for the account of each other Lender. Upon receipt of such amount by the Administrative Agent, (A) each other Lender shall be deemed to have ratably assigned that portion of its outstanding Loans that is being reduced to the New Lenders and the Increasing Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s new Commitment or the increased portion thereof as applicable, (B) the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each other Lender its ratable share of the amounts received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph and (C) the participations of the Lenders in outstanding Letters of Credit shall be determined in accordance with their Commitments after giving effect to such increase. For the avoidance of doubt, no existing Lender shall have any obligation to participate in such increase except in its absolute and sole discretion.

No Bank shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. (b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Company and the Agent (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), elects to become a “Bank” under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in subsection 2.21(a) shall execute a New Bank supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New Bank”) shall become a Bank 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. (c) Initial Loans made under any such increased Commitments shall be made pursuant to funding procedures then agreed to by the Company and the Agent (including as to the initial interest applicable to such Loans), and payments of principal, interest and fees under this Agreement shall be made by the Company to give effect to such procedures and the timing of such increased Commitments.
