Financing Commitment For the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the fifth anniversary hereof, Atlas America and Resource Energy agree to provide to the MLP funding of up to an aggregate of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) per annum to finance the cost of expanding the Gathering System or constructing new additions to the Gathering System. 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.
Existing Letters of Credit The parties hereto agree that the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed Letters of Credit for all purposes under this Agreement, without any further action by the Borrower.
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to the date of this Agreement, and the respective commitments contained in the Financing Commitments have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect.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.
Fee Letter The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in the Fee Letter and to perform any other obligations contained therein.
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).
Role of Letter of Credit Issuer Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.3(e); provided that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
