Conditions Precedent to Each Extension of Credit Before any extension of credit governed by this agreement, whether by disbursement of a loan, issuance of a letter of credit or otherwise, the following conditions must be satisfied:
Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) a LC Request to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time as is reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank). A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank: (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the amount thereof; (iii) the expiry date thereof; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder and (vii) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably require. A request for an amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (w) the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended; (x) the proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which shall be a Business Day), (y) the nature of the proposed amendment, renewal or extension, and (z) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably require. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application substantially on the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant (solely in the case of (w) and (x) that)), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $25,000,000, (B) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments, (C) the aggregate LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall not exceed the LC Sublimit of such Issuing Bank, (D) the Revolving Exposure of such Issuing Bank does not exceed its Revolving Commitments and (E) if a Defaulting Lender exists, either such Revolving Lender or the Borrower has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender.
Rescission of Acceleration by Requisite Lenders If at any time after acceleration of the maturity of the Loans and the other Obligations, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Obligations which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Obligations due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall become remedied or waived to the satisfaction of the Requisite Lenders, then by written notice to the Borrower, the Requisite Lenders may elect, in the sole discretion of such Requisite Lenders, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are satisfied.
Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15.
Replacement of Affected Lenders (x) So long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists, if any Revolving Lender becomes an Impaired Lender, (y) if any Lender (or in the case of Section 2.9(i), Facing Agent) is owed increased costs under Section 2.9(i), Section 3.6(a)(ii) or (iii), or Section 3.6(c), or the Borrower is required to make any payments under Section 4.7(a) or (c) to any Lender, or (z) as provided in Section 12.1(b) in the case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed amendments, changes, supplements, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignees acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that no such Eligible Assignee is an Impaired Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), provided further that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Replaced Lender and Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more assignment agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to such parties and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire, at par, all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans by, the Replaced Lender (with the assignment fee paid by either the Replacement Lender or the Borrower) and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender (including, without limitation, such increased costs and including those specifically described in clause (y) above but excluding principal and interest in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being paid at par) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective assignment documentation, the payment of amounts referred to in clause (ii) above and the par purchase price referred to in (i) above, and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Loans hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, no Lender that acts as a Facing Agent may be replaced hereunder at any time during which such Facing Agent has Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, unless arrangements satisfactory to such Facing Agent (including (1) the furnishing of a standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, satisfactory to such Facing Agent or (2) the depositing of cash collateral into a collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to such Facing Agent) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit. The Replaced Lender shall be required to deliver for cancellation its applicable Notes to be canceled on the date of replacement, or if any such Note is lost or unavailable, such other assurances or indemnification therefor as the Borrower may reasonably request.
