The Letter of Credit Subfacility (a) On the terms and conditions set forth herein: (i) the Issuing Lender agrees, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Restatement Date to the Revolving Termination Date to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Company, and to amend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsections 3.2(c) and 3.2(d), and (B) to honor drawings which comply with the terms of the Letters of Credit Issued by it; and (ii) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit Issued for the account of the Company; provided that the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to Issue, and no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter of Credit if as of the date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit (the "Issuance Date") (1) the sum of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations plus the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans plus the Effective Amount of all Swingline Loans exceeds the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of all Revolving Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base, (2) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the amount of the L/C Commitment or (3) with respect to any particular Revolving Lender, the sum of the participation of such Revolving Lender in the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations plus the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lender shall exceed such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company's ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and, accordingly, the Company may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit which have expired or which have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
Issuing Bank’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against such documents, the Issuing Bank shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any 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; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, electronic mail, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Issuing Bank’s or Administrative Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against the Issuing Bank any liability to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. In this connection, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 12.10., but not in limitation of the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights the Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.
Letter of Credit Subfacility (a) During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, the Borrower may request the issuance of standby Letters of Credit to support obligations of a Subsidiary of the Parent which finance the working capital and business needs of a Subsidiary of the Parent by delivering to the Issuing Bank a completed Application for letters of credit in such form and with such other certificates, documents and information as the Issuing Bank may specify from time to time by no later than 12:00 noon, Philadelphia time, at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Bank) in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Each Application for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be accompanied by an issuance fee based upon the Issuing Bank’s standard schedule of fees charged for issuing letters of credit as such may be amended from time to time. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section, the Issuing Bank will issue a Letter of Credit, provided, that each Letter of Credit shall (i) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and (ii) in no event expire later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and provided further, that in no event shall the amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations at any one time exceed the lesser of (i) the L/C Sublimit and (ii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments minus the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding. The Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Bank or any Letter of Credit Participant to exceed, any limits imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrower hereby agree that the Issuing Bank may issue upon the Borrower’s request, one or more Letter(s) of Credit which by its or their terms may be extended for additional periods of up to one year each provided that (I) the initial expiration date (or any subsequent expiration date) of each such Letter of Credit is not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and (II) renewal of such Letter(s) of Credit, at the Issuing Bank’s discretion, shall be available upon written request from the Borrower to the Issuing Bank at least thirty (30) days (or such other time period as agreed by the Borrower and the Issuing Bank) before the date upon which notice of renewal is otherwise required. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (“UCP”) or the International Standby Practices (ISP98 International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590 (“ISP98”)), as determined by the Issuing Bank.
Cover for Letter of Credit Liabilities In the event that the Borrowers shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.10, to provide cover for Letter of Credit Liabilities, the Borrowers shall effect the same by paying to the Administrative Agent immediately available funds in an amount equal to the required amount, which funds shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in the Collateral Account (as collateral security in the first instance for the Letter of Credit Liabilities) until such time as the Letters of Credit shall have been terminated and all of the Letter of Credit Liabilities paid in full.
Issuance of Letter of Credit Upon satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with subsection 10.6) of the conditions set forth in subsection 4.3, the Issuing Lender shall issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Lender's standard operating procedures.
Letter of Credit Facility Subject to the terms hereof, Issuing Lender will, from time to time and for its own account and not on behalf of the Lenders, upon request by Borrower, issue one or more Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower, provided that (i) the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit (including the amount of the requested Letter of Credit but exclusive of the SBID Letter of Credit) does not exceed $500,000, and (ii) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date no later than one year from issuance or the Maturity Date. If the requested Letter of Credit will be an extension of the SBID Letter of Credit, such SBID Letter of Credit shall not be in an amount greater than the lesser of (i) $1,105,743.00 or (ii) the Borrowing Base minus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans. As an additional condition to the issuance of any Letter of Credit, Borrower shall execute and deliver Issuing Lender's customary Letter of Credit application and shall pay to Issuing Lender for its account only a Letter of Credit fee, payable quarterly in advance, beginning with the date of issuance and each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 thereafter, in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $500.00 or (ii) one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) per annum (pro-rated for periods of less than one year) of the unfunded face amount thereof. Such Letter of Credit shall be issued in form satisfactory to Issuing Lender. The amount, if any, from time to time drawn by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed and paid by Borrower to Issuing Lender ON DEMAND, or, at Issuing Lender's option, charged as a Revolving Loan to Borrower pursuant to SECTION 2.1(a), whether or not Borrower would then be entitled to an Advance for such amount pursuant to SECTION 2.1(a); Lenders are authorized to make any such Loan on the request of Issuing Lender; provided, however, if such Loan would cause the aggregate amount of the Loans then outstanding (including the Loan to be made with respect to the reimbursement of the Letter of Credit) to exceed the Borrowing Base, the amount of such Loan equal to such excess shall be made solely by the Lender who is also the Issuing Lender. The reimbursement obligations and all other obligations of Borrower to Issuing Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit shall be secured by Liens in the Collateral that rank PARI PASSU with the Liens of the Lenders in the Collateral; accordingly each Dollar realized on the Collateral and the proceeds thereof shall be shared by the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Issuing Lender, on the other hand, in the proportion that the Obligations (determined without inclusion of any Letter of Credit Exposure) and the Letter of Credit Exposure bears to one another; provided, however, in determining the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Issuing Lender, all Letter of Credit Exposure, contingent or otherwise, shall be included in any calculation; provided, further, that if the Issuing Lender receives any proceeds of Collateral on account of any Letter of Credit which, at the time of receipt of the proceeds, may still be drawn upon and which thereafter expires without being drawn upon, then such proceeds shall be reallocated among the Lenders and the Issuing Lender on the basis of a new determination of Obligations and Letter of Credit Exposure. Prior to such reallocation or the application of such proceeds to unpaid reimbursement obligations of Borrower to Issuing Lender, Issuing Lender shall hold such proceeds in an interest bearing cash collateral account (the "CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT") which shall be in the name of and under the sole dominion and control of Issuing Lender for the benefit of itself and Lenders pursuant to the terms hererof. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Issuing Lender such documentation with respect to the Cash Collateral Account as Issuing Lender may request and hereby pledges and grants to Issuing Lender, for the benefit of Issuing Lender and Lenders, a security interest in all such proceeds and funds held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all interest thereon, claims and choses in action in respect thereof, and the proceeds thereof, as additional security for the payment of all amounts due in respect of the Letter of Credit Exposure, whether or not then due, and all other Obligations.
