Additional Commitment Lenders The Company shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Maturity Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions that are not Ineligible Institutions (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) approved by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 2.19(b), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04, with the Company or replacement Lender obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the applicable Maturity Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date). Prior to any Non-Extending Lender being replaced by one or more Additional Commitment Lenders pursuant hereto, such Non-Extending Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, by giving irrevocable notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Company (which notice shall set forth such Lender’s new Maturity Date), to become an Extending Lender. The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide for any such extensions with the consent of the Company but without the consent of any other Lenders.
SPV Lender Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.6, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This Section 13.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of the SPV. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) no SPV shall be entitled to any greater rights under Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to absent the use of such SPV and (y) each SPV agrees to be subject to the requirements of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 as though it were a Lender and has acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6.
Replacement Lender Borrower Agent may obtain, at Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for a Lender seeking payment or compensation under Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.10 of this Agreement (or that is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”)), which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent and the Issuing Bank. In the event Borrower Agent obtains a Replacement Lender that will purchase all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and assume its Revolver Commitment hereunder within ninety (90) days following notice to Agent and the Affected Lender of Borrower Agent’s intention to do so (the “Replacement Notice”), the Affected Lender shall sell and assign its Loans, Revolver Commitment and Capital Expenditure Loan Commitment, without recourse, to such Replacement Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3; provided that, (a) Borrower Agent and Issuing Bank shall have consented thereto in writing, (b) such assignment will in fact result in a reduction in such compensation and payment then payable to the Affected Lender, (c) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws or regulations, (d) (i) Borrowers or the Replacement Lender have reimbursed such Affected Lender for any administrative fee payable by such Affected Lender to Agent pursuant to Section 13.3 and (ii) in any case where such replacement occurs as the result of a demand for payment of certain costs or Taxes pursuant to Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.10, Borrowers have paid all increased costs for and Taxes to which such Affected Lender is entitled to under such Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.10 through the date of such sale and assignment; provided, further, that, each Replacement Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee. Such Affected Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents through the date of assignment. An Affected Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, on or before sixty (60) days after Agent’s and the Affected Lender’s receipt of the Replacement Notice, as a result of a waiver by such Affected Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower Agent to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 3.11 shall limit or impair (A) any rights that any Borrower or Agent may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender or (B) Agent’s rights to replace a Lender in accordance with Section 13.4.
Replacement Lenders The Parent at its own cost and expense may designate an Eligible Assignee with the prior written consent of the Agent (and acceptable to each Fronting Letter of Credit Lender and the Swingline Lender), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (a “Replacement Lender”) to assume all or any part of the Commitments and the obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, and to purchase the Accommodations Outstanding of such Defaulting Lender and such Defaulting Lender’s rights hereunder and with respect thereto, and within ten (10) Business Days of such designation the Defaulting Lender shall (x) sell to such Replacement Lender, without recourse upon, warranty by or expense to such Defaulting Lender, by way of an Assignment and Assumption for a purchase price equal to (unless such Defaulting Lender agrees to a lesser amount in writing) the outstanding principal amount of the Accommodations made by such Defaulting Lender, plus all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, and (y) assign to such Replacement Lender the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender. In the event any Defaulting Lender fails to execute the Assignment and Assumption in connection with an assignment pursuant to this Section, the Agent may, but only after such Defaulting Lender has been paid in full what it is entitled to be paid under this Section, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Defaulting Lender, execute such agreement on behalf of the Defaulting Lender, and each Lender hereby grants to the Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which shall be coupled with an interest) for such purpose. Upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Lender and subject to acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Assumption by the Agent pursuant to Section 18.01(3) hereof, such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and such Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any obligations or rights hereunder (other than any obligations or rights which according to this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Commitments). Additionally, in the event a Defaulting Lender has been a Defaulting Lender for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, the Borrowers, at their own cost and expense, may repay in full all outstanding obligations under the Loan Documents (except for the Eligible Hedging Agreements and Other Secured Obligations) owed to such Defaulting Lender and terminate in full all of the Commitment held by such Defaulting Lender, and upon such repayment and termination such Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any obligations or rights hereunder (other than any obligations or rights which according to this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Commitments).
Additional Lenders Each of the Lenders party hereto that were not “Lenders” under the Existing Credit Agreement (each an “Additional Lender”, and collectively, the “Additional Lenders”) hereby extends to the Borrowers, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, such Additional Lender’s Commitment in the amount designated for such Additional Lender as set forth on Schedule 2.01, such Commitment being made on a several, and not joint and several, basis and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Each Additional Lender agrees that, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, such Additional Lender will be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such Additional Lender will promptly perform in accordance with the terms thereof all obligations and requirements which are required to be performed by a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Additional Lender represents and warrants that (i) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under this Agreement, (ii) from and after the Restatement Effective Date, it shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder, (iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement, and has received or has been accorded the opportunity to receive copies of the Audited Financial Statements and such other documents and information as it deems appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, and (iv) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend its Commitment to the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each Additional Lender agrees that it will, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Each Additional Lender has submitted to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire duly completed by such Additional Lender to be used and relied upon by the Administrative Agent for all purposes of this Agreement.
Delinquent Lenders (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Lender that (i) willfully does not or (ii) does not as a result of a Failure (as defined below) (A) make available to Operations Agent its PRO RATA share of any Loan, or (B) comply with the provisions of SECTION 9.04 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Lenders, where such Lender's share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its PRO RATA share of such payments due and to payable to all Lenders, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a "DELINQUENT LENDER") and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from each Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees, or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective PRO RATA shares of all outstanding Loans to such Borrower. The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes Operations Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all such outstanding Loans. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans of the nondelinquent Lenders, Lenders' respective PRO RATA shares of all outstanding Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.
Delinquent Lender If for any reason any Lender shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation its obligation to make available to Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any Loan, expenses or setoff (a “Delinquent Lender”) and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days of receipt from the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent, other Lenders, the Borrower or any other party at law or in equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Delinquent Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Loans, this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, and (ii) a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of the outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-delinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of the outstanding Loans until, as a result of application of such assigned payments the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all the outstanding Loans shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. The Delinquent Lender’s decision-making and participation rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent Lender of its pro rata share of any Loans or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid. The non-delinquent Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to acquire for no cash consideration, (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right) the Delinquent Lender’s Commitment to fund future Loans (the “Future Commitment”). Upon any such purchase of the pro rata share of any Delinquent Lender’s Future Commitment, the Delinquent Lender’s share in future Loans and its rights under the Credit Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance. Each Delinquent Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each non-delinquent Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and funds advanced by Administrative Agent or by any non-delinquent Lender, on account of any Delinquent Lender’s failure to timely fund its pro rata share of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Credit Documents.
Non-Funding Lenders The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Term Loan or any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Term Loan, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Term Loan or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Debt Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lender” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Debt Document. At Borrower’s request, Agent or a person reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have the right with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and each Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such person, all of the Commitments and all of the outstanding Term Loans of that Non-Funding Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Term Loans held by such Non-Funding Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement (as defined below).
LENDERS KeyBank, the other lending institutions which are party hereto and any other Person which becomes an assignee of any rights of a Lender pursuant to §18 (but not including any participant as described in §18). The Issuing Lender shall be a Lender, as applicable. The Swing Loan Lender shall be a Lender.
Additional Issuing Lenders The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Lender and such Lender.
