-2-


Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and Lenders have not made any commitment to increase its respective Commitments and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender is under any obligation to increase its respective Commitment or to consider any request for any such increase to its Commitment.

(b)    Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase.

(c)    Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which approval and consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(e)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, (i) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party (or its applicable governing body or entity) approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, (B) no Default exists and (C) the Borrower is in pro forma compliance as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter with all financial covenants set forth in Section 7.01 after giving effect to any Loans made on the date of such increase. The Borrower shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts to the extent required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

(f)    Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.
