Issuance, Amendment and Renewal of Letters of Credit (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon the irrevocable written request of the Borrower received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the Company to the Agent) at least four days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of issuance. Each such request for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be by facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing, in the form of an L/C Application, and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the proposed date of issuance of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the expiry date of the Letter of Credit; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vii) the applicable Borrower; and (viii) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require. The Agent will promptly notify the Banks of the receipt by it of any L/C Application.
(b) At least two Business Days prior to the Issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has received a copy of the L/C Application or L/C Amendment Application from a Borrower and, if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the date the Issuing Bank is to issue a requested Letter of Credit from the Agent (A) directing the Issuing Bank not to issue such Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then permitted under subsection 3.01(a) as a result of the limitations set forth in clauses (1) through (3) thereof or subsection 3.01(b)(ii); or (B) that one or more conditions specified in Article V are not then satisfied; then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with the Issuing Bank's usual and customary business practices.
(c) From time to time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Revolving Termination Date, the Issuing Bank will, upon the written request of the applicable Borrower received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the Borrower to the Agent) at least four days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of amendment, amend any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing, made in the form of an L/C Amendment Application and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of any such letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit. The Agent will promptly notify the Banks of the receipt by it of any L/C Amendment Application.
(d) The Issuing Bank and the Banks agree that, while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Revolving Termination Date, at the option of the applicable Borrower and upon the written request of the Borrower received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the Borrower to the Agent) at least five days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of notification of renewal, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to authorize the automatic renewal of any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for renewal of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing, in the form of an L/C Amendment Application, and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the Letter of Credit to be renewed; (ii) the proposed date of notification of renewal of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the revised expiry date of the Letter of Credit; and (iv) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation so to renew any Letter of Credit if: (A) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue or amend such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed renewal of the Letter of Credit. If any outstanding Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be automatically renewed unless the beneficiary thereof receives notice from the Issuing Bank that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed, and if at the time of renewal the Issuing Bank would be entitled to authorize the automatic renewal of such Letter of Credit in accordance with this subsection 3.02
(e) upon the request of the Borrower but the Issuing Bank shall not have received any L/C Amendment Application from the Borrower with respect to such renewal or other written direction by the Company with respect thereto, the Issuing Bank shall nonetheless be permitted to allow such Letter of Credit to renew, and the Company and the Banks hereby authorize such renewal, and, accordingly, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have received an L/C Amendment Application from the Borrower requesting such renewal.
Amendment and Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth herein. With effect from and including the Effective Date, (i) the Commitments of each Lender party hereto shall be as set forth on Appendix A (and (a) to the extent that such Lender constitutes a lender under the Existing Credit Agreement (a “Consenting Lender”), such Consenting Lender’s commitment thereunder shall be terminated and replaced with its respective Commitment hereunder and (b) any lender under the Existing Credit Agreement that is not listed on Appendix A shall cease to be a Lender hereunder and its commitment thereunder shall be terminated; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such lender under the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.03 of the Existing Credit Agreement), (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest and fees and other amounts owing under the Existing Credit Agreement shall have been paid by the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement, whether or not such interest, fees or other amounts would otherwise be due and payable at such time pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, (iii) the Commitment Ratio of the Consenting Lenders shall be redetermined based on the Commitments set forth in the Appendix A and the participations of the Consenting Lenders in, and the obligations of the Consenting Lenders in respect of, any Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans outstanding on the Effective Date shall be reallocated to reflect such redetermined Commitment Ratio and (iv) each JLA Issuing Bank shall have the Fronting Sublimit set forth in Appendix B.
