Atlas America and Resource Energy, jointly and severally, commit to provide such funding, upon the MLP's written request therefor, by purchasing Common Units at a price equal to the arithmetic average of the closing prices of the Common Units on the American Stock Exchange, or, if the American Stock Exchange is not the principal trading market for such security, on the principal trading market for such security, for the twenty consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the purchase, or, if the fair market value of the Common Units cannot be calculated for such period on any of the foregoing bases, the average fair market value during such period as reasonably determined in good faith by the members of the managing board of the General Partner.
Financing Commitments Pinnacle has obtained written commitments (the "Financing Commitments") for the financing necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (including any refinancing of indebtedness of Aztar or Pinnacle or any of their respective subsidiaries which Pinnacle deems it advisable to refinance in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby) and to pay all associated fees, costs and expenses (the "Financing"). Pinnacle has provided true, accurate and complete copies of such commitments to Aztar. None of the Financing Commitments has been amended, modified or terminated prior to the date of this Agreement, and the respective commitments contained in the Financing Commitments have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect. As of the date hereof, the Financing Commitments are in full force and effect and (based on and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Aztar in this Agreement and the compliance by Aztar with its obligations hereunder) no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time (other than the expiration of the term thereof) or both, would constitute a default on the part of Pinnacle under any of the Financing Commitments. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than as set forth in or contemplated by the Financing Commitments. The aggregate proceeds to be disbursed pursuant to the agreements contemplated by the Financing Commitments, together with Pinnacle's and Aztar's cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient for Pinnacle to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration and to consummate the Consent/Tender Offers, if any (and any other repayment or refinancing of debt contemplated in this Agreement or the Financing Commitments), and to pay all related fees and expenses. Based on and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Aztar in this Agreement and the compliance by Aztar with its obligations hereunder, Pinnacle has no reason as of the date hereof to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments will not be satisfied or that the Financing will not be made available to Pinnacle on or prior the Closing Date. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Pinnacle from amending or modifying the Financing Commitments or from seeking to raise equity or other alternative sources of funds prior to the Closing, as long as such amendment or modification or other action does not prevent, delay or reduce the likelihood of the consummation of the Merger.
Affiliates Letters Parent shall have received an Affiliates Letter from each Person identified as an affiliate of the Company pursuant to Section 6.8.
