The Commitment shall expire at 12:00 noon (Company’s local time) on January 30, 2012, or on such later date as CoBank may, in its sole discretion, authorize in writing.
Initial Term Loan The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Closing Date requesting that the Term Loan Lenders make the Initial Term Loan as a Base Rate Loan on such date (provided that the Borrower may request, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, that the Lenders make the Initial Term Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan if the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 5.9 of this Agreement). Upon receipt of such Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Loan Lender thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Closing Date, each Term Loan Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds, the amount of such Initial Term Loan to be made by such Term Loan Lender on the Closing Date. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of the Initial Term Loan in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such Person or Persons as may be designated by the Borrower in writing.
Delayed Draw Term Loan The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing prior to 11:00 a.m. (i) on the same Business Day as each Base Rate Loan and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before each LIBOR Rate Loan (provided that the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 5.9 of this Agreement), of its intention to borrow, specifying (A) the date of such borrowing (the “Delayed Draw Funding Date”), which shall be a Business Day, (B) the amount of such borrowing, which shall be, (x) with respect to Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (y) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (C) whether the Loans are to be LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, and (D) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided, that the Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be made in one drawing on the Delayed Draw Funding Date. Upon receipt of such Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Loan Lender thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the proposed Delayed Draw Funding Date, each Term Loan Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds, the amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loan to be made by such Term Loan Lender on the Delayed Draw Funding Date. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loan in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such Person or Persons as may be designated by the Borrower in writing; provided that to the extent the proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loan funded on the Delayed Draw Funding Date, together with the Cash Contribution, exceed an amount equal to the Cash Percentage of the total Acquisition Consideration payable in accordance with the Tender Offer Document in respect of the Company Shares accepted in the Tender Offer on the Delayed Draw Funding Date plus Transaction Costs then due and payable (the “Excess Term Loan Proceeds”), such Excess Term Loan Proceeds shall be funded directly into the Escrow Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement; it being agreed that the principal amount of each Delayed Draw Term Loan owing hereunder shall be an amount equal to 100% of the applicable Lender’s Term Loan Commitment with respect to the Delayed Draw Term Loan.
New Term Loans (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Renewing Lender agrees to make New Term Loans to the Borrower on the Tranche B Refinancing Date in such amounts (not in excess of its Existing Tranche B Term Loans) as are determined by the Borrower, X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC and notified to such Lender by exchanging its Existing Tranche B Term Loans in such amounts for New Term Loans in an equal principal amount and (ii) each Additional Term Lender agrees to make New Term Loans to the Borrower on the Tranche B Refinancing Date in a principal amount equal to such New Term Lender's Additional Term Loan Commitment. For purposes hereof and of the Credit Agreement, a Person shall become an Additional Term Lender by executing and delivering to the Agent, on or prior to the Tranche B Refinancing Date, a written instrument in a form satisfactory to the Agent (a "Joinder Agreement") pursuant to which such Person (i) commits to make Additional Term Loans on the Tranche B Refinancing Date in an amount set forth in such Joinder Agreement and (ii) agrees to become party to the Credit Agreement as a Tranche B Lender and to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof. The "Additional Term Loan Commitment" of such Additional Term Lender shall be the amount set forth in its Joinder Agreement or such lesser amount as is allocated to it by the Borrower, X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC by notice to such Lender prior to the Tranche B Refinancing Date. The commitments of the New Term Lenders are several and no New Term Lender shall be responsible for any other New Term Lender's failure to make New Term Loans. For purposes hereof, the "Tranche B Refinancing Date" shall be a Business Day selected by the Borrower occurring on or after November 10, 2003 and prior to November 15, 2003, on which each of the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 4 is satisfied. The Borrower shall give the Agent at least two Business Days' prior written notice of the date selected by it as the Tranche B Refinancing Date.
Extended Term Loans (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 2.14, Lead Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of any Tranche of Term Loans (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”), be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or any portion of such Existing Term Loan Tranche (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, Lead 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 Term Loan Tranche) (each, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under the relevant Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and (y) have the same terms as the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Effective Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche; (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 applicable Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); (iv) Extended Term Loans may have mandatory prepayment terms which provide for the application of proceeds from mandatory prepayment events to be made first to prepay the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans have been converted before applying any such proceeds to prepay such Extended Term Loans; (v) Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and terms which allow Term Loans under the relevant Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans have been converted to be optionally prepaid prior to the prepayment of such Extended Term Loans) as may be agreed by Lead Borrower and the Lenders thereof and (vi) such Extended Term Loans may have other terms (other than those described in the preceding clause (i) through (v)) that differ from those of the Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, taken as a whole, that are not materially more favorable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans than the provisions applicable to the Existing Term Loan Tranche or as are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any Extended Term Loans converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, an “Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that, subject to the requirements set forth above, any Extended Term Loans converted from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Tranche of Term Loans.
