Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay the other Obligations on a pro rata basis. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, the Reimbursement Obligation shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower.
Letters of Credit. During the Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided (i) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars; (ii) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $5,000,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank; (iii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Commitments exceed the Commitments then in effect; (iv) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect; (v) in no event shall any standby Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date and (2) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such standby Letter of Credit; and (vi) in no event shall any commercial Letter of Credit (x) have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) five Business Days before the Maturity Date and (2) the date which is 180 days from the date of issuance of such commercial Letter of Credit or (y) be issued if such commercial Letter of Credit is otherwise unacceptable to the Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion. Subject to the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may agree that a standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless the Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period; provided the Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension; provided further in the event a Funding Default exists, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage.
Letters of Credit.

Each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank without recourse a participation in each Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on the date of issuance. Each issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize the Commitment of each Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such participation.
(b) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or any amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of such issuance specifying the date (which shall be a Business Day) such Letter of Credit is to be issued (or amended, renewed or extended, as the case may be), the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letters of Credit Outstanding at such time, would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment then in effect; (ii) subject to clause (f) below, no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at the time of the issuance thereof to exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect; (iii) no Letter of Credit in an Alternative Currency shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause the Aggregate Multicurrency Exposures at the time of the issuance thereof to exceed the Multicurrency Sublimit then in effect; (iv) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date occurring no later than one year after the date of issuance thereof, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, provided that in no event shall such expiration date occur later than the L/C Maturity Date; (v) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency; (vi) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if it would be illegal under any applicable law for the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit to have a Letter of Credit issued in its favor; and (vii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued by a Letter of Credit Issuer after it has received a written notice from any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders stating that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as the Letter of Credit Issuer sha...
Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower may request the Issuer to issue letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”; each, individually, a “Letter of Credit”) during the period from the Effective Date to the thirtieth Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, provided that immediately after the issuance of each Letter of Credit (i) the Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders would not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Issuer by the delivery of a Credit Request, which shall be sent by facsimile and shall be irrevocable (confirmed promptly, and in any event within five Business Days, by the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Credit Request manually signed by the Borrower), at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, specifying (A) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, (B) the Borrower’s proposal as to the conditions under which a drawing may be made under such Letter of Credit and the documentation to be required in respect thereof, (C) the maximum amount to be available under such Letter of Credit, and (D) the requested dates of issuance and expiration. Such Credit Request shall be accompanied by a duly completed application for such Letter of Credit on such forms as may be made available from time to time by the Issuer and such other certificates, documents (including a reimbursement agreement) and other information as may be required by the Issuer in accordance with its customary procedures (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Documentation”). Upon receipt of such Credit Request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuer shall issue each requested Letter of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any Letter of Credit Documentation, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement on the Effective Date (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) and listed on Schedule 2.11 shall be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Credit Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Existing Letters of Credit are Letters of Credit h...
Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Annex and of this Agreement, Agent may from time to time prior to the expiration of the Revolving Period cause the L/C Issuer to issue Standby Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower; provided, however, that the Lenders shall not issue or to cause to be issued any Standby Letters of Credit (i) to the extent that the issuance of such Standby Letters of Credit would then cause the sum of the outstanding Advances and all outstanding Letter of Credit Usage, to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Loan Amount, and (y) the Availability (with the requested Standby Letters of Credit being deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of calculating Availability), or (ii) if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist after giving effect to the issuance of the Standby Letter of Credit on such date. The maximum amount of outstanding Standby Letters of Credit under this Agreement shall not exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate at any time. Each disbursement or payment by the L/C Issuer any Lender (with respect to its participation in any Standby Letter of Credit) of an amount drawn under Standby Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be an Advance, or shall be automatically reimbursed to the L/C Issuer or Agent (on behalf of the L/C Issuer) as an Advance, made pursuant to this Agreement and shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate as of the date of such Advance pursuant to this Agreement. Standby Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest.
