Concurrently with such increase, the amount of available incremental revolving commitments shall be reduced by a corresponding amount.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows effective as of the Amendment Effective Date unless otherwise indicated:

 

ARTICLE I

Section 1.1        Defined Terms; References. Unless otherwise stated in this Amendment (a) terms defined in the Agreement (after giving effect to this Amendment) have the same meanings when used in this Amendment, and (b) references to "Sections," "Schedules" and "Exhibits" are to sections, schedules and exhibits to the Agreement.
