“(ii) on the Business Day of the request of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.”

(b) Increase in Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments. Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“2.15 Increase in Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase. Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists or would arise therefrom, the Lead Borrower may from time to time deliver a written request to the Administrative Agent to request an increase in the Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $15,000,000; provided, that, (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $2,500,000, (ii) shall be irrevocable, and (iii) the Lead Borrower may make a maximum of five (5) such requests during the term of this Agreement.

(b) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. Upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such written request, Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such request. Wells Fargo shall have the option (but not the obligation) to provide each requested increase in the Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitment described in clause (a) above. Wells Fargo shall notify the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period of time specified by the Administrative Agent) after the receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent whether Wells Fargo is willing to so increase its commitment and its Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitment, and if so, the amount of such increase; provided, that Wells Fargo shall not be obligated to agree to any such increase; it being agreed that the determination whether to agree to any such increase shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of Wells Fargo. If the aggregate amount of the increases in the Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments received from Wells Fargo does not equal the amount of the increase in the Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitment requested by Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, will use its reasonable efforts to arrange for an existing Lender to increase its Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitment or other Eligible Assignees to become a Lender hereunder and to issue commitments in an amount equal to the amount of the increase in the Aggregate Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments requested by the Lead Borrower and not accepted by Wells Fargo (and the Lead Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders, in consultation with the Administrative Agent) (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”). In the event Wells Fargo or any Additional Commitment Lender has agreed to provide increases in their Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments or new Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments (as applicable) in an aggregate amount in excess of the increase in the Aggregate Commitments requested by the Lead Borrower or permitted hereunder, the

 

5


Administrative Agent shall then have the right to allocate such commitments, first to Lenders and then to Eligible Assignees, in such amounts and manner as the Administrative Agent may determine, after consultation with the Lead Borrower.

(c) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase in the amount of the Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitment of Wells Fargo or new or additional Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments of any Additional Commitment Lender, as the case may be (and a concurrent increase in the Tranche A Revolving Loan Limit), (i) the Lead 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 (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except (i) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, (ii) in the case of any representation and warranty qualified by “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, they shall be true and correct in all respects, and (iii) for purposes of this Section 2.15, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, (ii) the Borrowers shall have paid such fees and other compensation to Wells Fargo or any Additional Commitment Lenders as the Lead Borrower and Wells Fargo or such Additional Commitment Lenders shall agree, as the case may be; provided, that, in no event shall the fees (including any initial commitment fee), interest rate and other compensation offered or paid in respect of additional Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments or increase in Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments have higher fees or rates than the amounts paid and payable to the then existing Lenders in respect of their Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments, unless the fees, interest rate and other compensation payable to the then existing Lenders are increased to the same as those paid in connection with the additional Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments or increase in Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments; (iii) the Borrowers shall have paid such arrangement fees to the Administrative Agent as the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree; (iv) no Default or Event of Default exists; (v) the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders an opinion or opinions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, from counsel to the Borrowers reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and dated such date; and (vi) the Borrowers and any Additional Commitment Lender shall have delivered such other instruments, documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably have requested.

 

6


(d) Increase Effective Date. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) which date shall be no more than 10 days following the date of the requested increase; provided, that, all of the conditions set forth in clause (b) have been satisfied.

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

(c) Compliance with Laws. Section 5.16 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

None of the Loan Parties nor any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries has conducted or initiated any internal investigation or made a voluntary, directed, or involuntary disclosure to any Governmental Authority with respect to any alleged act or omission arising under or relating to any noncompliance with any Anti-Corruption Law.

(e) Article 10 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 10.28 as follows:

“10.28 Keepwell.
