Commitments on the New Revolving Commitment Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) and all Existing Revolving Commitments shall be terminated on the New Revolving Commitment Effective Date, concurrently with the effectiveness of the New Revolving Commitments. On or before the New Revolving Commitment Effective Date, Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Revolving Note executed by the Borrowers in favor of each Revolving Lender with a New Revolving Commitment as set forth on Schedule 2.15(d) (to the extent requested by each such Revolving Lender).

All Revolving Loans made pursuant to this subsection shall be subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.01, provided, however, that provisions under this Agreement relating to minimum borrowing amounts, minimum prepayment amounts, notice of borrowing and notice of prepayments or commitment terminations shall not be applicable in connection with the effectiveness of the New Revolving Commitments and such repayment and such termination of the Existing Revolving Commitments. All Swing Line Loans outstanding immediately prior to the delivery of the Activation Notice shall automatically become Swing Line Loans under the New Revolving Commitments and no prepayment of such outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be required on the New Revolving Commitment Effective Date. Upon delivery of the Activation Notice, the New Revolving Loan Commitments shall constitute Revolving Commitments under the Loan Documents.
