Revolving Commitments (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Commitment Period, at such times as the Borrower may request in accordance with Section 2.2, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that (i) no Revolving Loan shall be made to the extent the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans would exceed the Total Commitments, (ii) no Borrowing Base A Loans shall be made to the extent that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Borrowing Base A Loans would exceed the aggregate Loan Value of the Pledged Eligible Assets (including the Pledged Eligible Assets referred to in Section 2.2(a)(ii) with respect to such Revolving Loan) and (iii) no Borrowing Base B Loans shall be made to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Borrowing Base B Loans would exceed the Borrowing Base B Limit; provided further that Borrowing Base B Loans may not be borrowed on any date in any rolling period of 90 consecutive days if Borrowing Base B Loans have already been outstanding for 30 days during such period. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may borrow, prepay the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrow, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Termination Date.
(c) The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Revolving Loans as required.
Reduction of Commitments Upon at least five (5) calendar days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Company shall have the right, without premium or penalty, to terminate the Commitments, in whole or in part, provided that:
(i) Any such termination shall apply to ratably and permanently reduce the Commitment of each Bank, (ii) no voluntary prepayment of Bid Rate Loans will be permitted, (iii) any partial termination shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, (iv) after a partial termination of Commitments, any Bank with Bid Rate Loans outstanding in excess of its reduced Commitment will be deemed to have made a Bid Rate Loan in excess of its Commitment as provided in Section 2.01, (v) to the extent a prepayment results from a whole or partial termination of the Commitments, the Company will pay all costs relating to prepayment of a LIBOR Loan as set forth in Section 2.11 and (vi) the Company shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.06(B); and
(B) If after a partial termination of the Commitments, one or more Banks has outstanding Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, in the aggregate, in excess of the such Bank's reduced Commitment then the Company shall reduce, by prepayment, the subject Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans to the amount of such Bank's Commitment on the effective date of any such partial termination; and
(C) If after a partial termination of the Commitments, no Bank has outstanding Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, in the aggregate, in excess of the Bank's reduced Commitment, then, unless otherwise required under Section 2.06(B), no prepayment shall be required by the Company in connection with such partial termination of the Commitments.
(D) Upon a reduction in the Commitments, the facility fee, as described in Section 2.07, will be determined based on the reduced Commitments and, accordingly, the facility fee for each Bank will be reduced.
Commitments to Lend (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to lend to each Borrower (other than a Borrower that is an Affiliate Advised Borrower with respect to such Lender), and such Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period, upon notice by such Borrower to Operations Agent given in accordance with SECTION 2.02, such Revolving Credit Loans as are requested by such Borrower up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding to such Borrower and all other Borrowers (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to such Lender's Commitment Amount, provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) to any Borrower shall not exceed at any time the Maximum Amount for such Borrower at such time and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding to all Borrowers (after giving effect to all amounts requested) shall not exceed at any time the aggregate Commitment Amounts. Each Borrowing under this SECTION 2.01(A) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $100,000 or a larger whole multiple of $10,000 and shall, subject to SECTION 2.01(C), be made from the several Lenders pro rata in accordance with each Lender's Commitment Percentage. Each Revolving Credit Loan shall mature and become due and payable as provided in SECTION 2.05.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of SECTION 2.01(A) and subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Borrower (other than a Borrower that is an Affiliate Advised Borrower with respect to Swing Line Lender) may request Loans (Swing Line Advances) in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $50,000 or a larger integral multiple of $10,000, and if:
(i) the aggregate principal amount of such requested Loans (Swing Line Advances) to such Borrower and of all other Loans outstanding to all Borrowers which were made pursuant to the operation of this SECTION 2.01(B) do not exceed $50,000,000;
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding from Swing Line Lender (after giving effect to all amounts requested) does not exceed Swing Line Lender's Commitment Amount;
(iii) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding to such Borrower (after giving effect to all amounts requested) does not exceed the Maximum Amount for such Borrower; and
(iv) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding to all Borrowers (after giving effect to all amounts requested) does not exceed the aggregate Commitment Amounts, then Swing Line Lender (subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement) shall make all of such Loans (each, a "SWING LINE ADVANCE," and collectively, the "SWING LINE ADVANCES"). Each Borrower promises to pay any Swing Line Advance made to it in full (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the earliest of (A) 10 days after the date such Swing Line Advance was made, (B) the date of the next Loan made to such Borrower by Lenders pursuant to SECTION 2.01(A), and (C) the Termination Date. If:
Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the sum of the Aggregate Total Exposure would exceed the total Commitments.
(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.
(d) If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.
Extension of Revolving Credit Commitments The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Class (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) be identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche from which such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are to be amended, except that: (i) the Maturity Date of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to a later date than the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Effective Yield with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, commitment fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield for extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments); and (iv) all borrowings under the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (i.e., the Existing Revolver Tranche and the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Revolver Extension Series) and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and (II) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments); provided, further, that (A) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Revolver Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Revolver Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any other Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, (C) any such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and the Liens securing the same) shall be permitted by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements (to the extent any Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect) and (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments incurred under this Section 2.16 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000.
The Commitments (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, which Revolving Loans (i) shall be denominated in the respective Available Currency elected by the Borrower, (ii) shall, at the option of Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans, Euro Denominated Loans or Sterling Denominated Loans, provided that except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.10(b), all Revolving Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender in any instance where the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) and (v) in the case of any Borrowing of (A) Euro Denominated Loans shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender in any instance where the incurrence thereof would cause the Euro Denominated Obligations to exceed the Maximum Euro Denominated Obligations Amount or (B) Sterling Denominated Loans shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender in any instance where the incurrence thereof would cause the Sterling Denominated Obligations to exceed the Maximum Sterling Denominated Loan Amount.
(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower, which Swingline Loans (i) shall be incurred and maintained as Base Rate Loans, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, when combined with the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, an amount equal to the Total Commitment at such time, (v) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender in any instance where the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) and (vi) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding the Maximum Swingline Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01(b), (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when a Lender Default exists with respect to an Lender unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swingline Loans, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ RL Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans, and (ii) the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders.
(c) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Lenders that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 11), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Lenders pro rata based on each such Lender’s RL Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (v) the amount of the Borrowing Base or Total Commitment at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective RL Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11), provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.01(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish reserves in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against the Borrowing Base, including, without limitation, reserves with respect to (i) sums that the Borrower is or will be required to pay (such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and have not yet paid (including, without limitation, a Rent Reserve against Eligible Inventory included in the Borrowing Base) and (ii) amounts owing by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral, which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of the Administrative Agent is capable of ranking senior in priority to or pari passu with one or more of the Liens granted in the Security Documents (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to have the Borrower’s and each Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Guarantor’s Inventory reappraised by a qualified appraisal company selected by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.01(p) after the Initial Borrowing Date for the purpose of re-determining the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of the Eligible Inventory, and, as a result, re-determining the Borrowing Base.
(e) In the event the Borrower is unable to comply with (i) the Borrowing Base limitations set forth in Sections 2.01(a) or (ii) the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit set forth in Section 7, (x) the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, which, in each case, may only be made as Base Rate Loans (each, an “Agent Advance”) for a period commencing on the date the Administrative Agent first receives a Notice of Borrowing requesting an Agent Advance until the earlier of (i) the twentieth Business Day after such date, (ii) the date the Borrower is again able to comply with the Borrowing Base limitations and the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit, or obtains an amendment or waiver with respect thereto or (iii) the date the Required Lenders instruct the Administrative Agent to cease making Agent Advances (in each case, the “Agent Advance Period”). The Administrative Agent shall not make any Agent Advance to the extent that at such time the amount of such Agent Advance, either (I) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the Borrower at such time, would exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or (II) which are incurred as Revolving Loans, when added to the Aggregate Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the Total Commitment at such time. It is understood and agreed that, subject to the requirements set forth above, Agent Advances may be made by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and that the Borrower shall have no right to require that any Agent Advances be made. Agent Advances will be subject to periodic settlement with the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04.
Term Loan Commitments Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in such principal amount as the Borrower shall request up to, but not exceeding such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.
