SECTION 8.Expenses.  The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with this Increase Joinder, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of Sidley Austin LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent.
