Manner of Borrowing Each Borrowing hereunder shall be made by a single Borrower (it being understood and agreed that any Qualified Borrower’s Obligations shall be guaranteed by the Initial Borrower in accordance with Section 2.9 hereof). The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice at the Agency Services Address of the date of each requested Borrowing hereunder, which notice may be by telephone, if confirmed in writing, facsimile, electronic mail, or other written communication substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (a “Request for Borrowing”). Each Request for Borrowing: (a) shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent no later than the Specified Time; and (b) must specify: (i) the amount of such Borrowing; (ii) the Interest Option; (iii) in the case of a request for LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period therefor and currency (which shall be, subject to Section 2.2 hereof, US Dollars or an Alternate Currency); and (iv) including a confirmation that such Borrowing will be secured (either directly or indirectly) by a first priority, exclusive security interest and Lien (subject to Permitted Liens), granted to the Secured Parties, in and on 100% of the Unused Commitments of all Investors, which can be satisfied by checking the box next to such confirmation in a Request for Borrowing. If multiple Borrowers are requesting a Borrowing on the same date, then a separate Request for Borrowing shall be submitted by each applicable Borrower (or such Request for borrowing shall specify the respective amounts being requested by each applicable Borrower). Any Request for Borrowing received by the Administrative Agent after the Specified Time shall be deemed to have been given by the applicable Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day. No Request for Borrowing shall be required to be delivered in connection with any Borrowing under Section 2.8(g)(i), 2.9(f), 2.12(b), 3.3(c) or 3.3(d) hereof.
Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates (a) Notice to the Administrative Agent. RCE, on behalf of itself or any other Borrower, shall give notice to the Administrative Agent by no later than: (i) 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) at least three Business Days before the date on which RCE on behalf of the applicable Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, (ii) at least three Business Days before the date on which RCE, on behalf of the Borrowers, requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Term Loans which shall be the Fixed Rate Loan, and (iii) 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date RCE on behalf of the applicable Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified in such notice of a new Borrowing. Thereafter, RCE, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, may (except with respect to the Fixed Rate Loan) from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirement contained in Section 1.5 for each outstanding Borrowing, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, RCE, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, may (subject to the notice requirement set forth herein) continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans or (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, RCE, on behalf of itself or the applicable Borrower, may (subject to the notice requirement set forth herein) convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by RCE, on behalf of itself or the applicable Borrower. RCE, on behalf of itself or the applicable Borrower shall give all such notices requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by telephone or telecopy (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (Notice of Borrowing) or Exhibit C (Notice of Continuation/Conversion), as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notices of the continuation of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans or of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans must be given by no later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) at least three Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All such notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) there shall be no Fixed Rate Loans available hereunder other than the $30,000,000 Borrowing of Term Loans advanced on the Closing Date and (ii) the Borrowers shall have no right to convert all of any portion of such Fixed Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan or Base Rate Loan. The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic or telecopy notice given by any person the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative of RCE without the necessity of independent investigation and, in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon.
Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans Borrowings under the Commitments established pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof shall be made and funded as follows:
Notice and Manner of Borrowing (a) Whenever the Borrowing Company desires to borrow money hereunder, it shall give the RTO prior written or facsimile request (or verbal request promptly confirmed in writing or by facsimile) of such borrowing or reborrowing (a "Request for Borrowing"). Such Request for Borrowing shall be given by an Authorized Person, to the RTO prior to 10:00 a.m. (Wilmington, Delaware time). Any Request for Borrowing received after 10:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.
(b) The RTO, upon its receipt of a Request for Borrowing, shall determine if the requested funds are available and the interest rates in accordance with Section 2.3(a) of this Agreement (and related Interest Periods, if any) at which the Borrowing Company can borrow money in a principal amount equal to, and on the date of, the proposed borrowing or reborrowing described in each such Request for Borrowing, and shall notify the Lending Company of such interest rates and the related Interest Periods, if any, and the principal amount of the proposed borrowing or reborrowing (a "Notice of Borrowing") by telephone (confirmed in writing) or by facsimile no later than 12:00 p.m. (Wilmington, Delaware time) on the Business Day of the requested borrowing or reborrowing. The RTO shall promptly convey to the Borrowing Company the information contained in the Notice of Borrowing by telephone (confirmed in writing) or by facsimile.
(c) On the date of each borrowing, the Lending Company will make available the amount of such borrowing or reborrowing in immediately available funds to the Borrowing Company by depositing such amount in the account of the Borrowing Company by wire transfer via electronic funds transfer (EFT).
(d) The RTO shall maintain on its books a control account for each Company in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder to each such Company, (ii) the interest rate applicable with respect to each Loan, (iii) the amount of any principal, interest or fees due or to become due from each Borrowing Company with respect to the Loans, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by each Lending Company hereunder in respect of any such principal, interest or fees due on such Loans. The entries made in the RTO's control accounts shall be prima facie evidence, in the absence of manifest error, of the existence and amounts of Obligations therein recorded and any payments thereon.
(e) The RTO shall account to each Company on a quarterly basis with a statement of borrowings, interest rates, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Loans and Revolving Loan Commitment. An Authorized Person of the Companies shall review each quarterly accounting for accuracy within thirty days of receipt thereof from the RTO. Each such account rendered by the RTO shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive unless the RTO is notified by the Lending Company or the Borrowing Company within thirty days after the date the account is so rendered that either the Lending Company or the Borrowing Company disputes any item thereof.
(f) The RTO shall be justified in assuming, for purposes of carrying out its duties and obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, its obligation to maintain accounts and provide accountings of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(d) and (e) above, that (1) Loans are disbursed by the Lending Company to the Borrowing Company in accordance with the terms of the Notice of Borrowing, (2) payments on the Loans are made to the Lending Company when due, and (3) no prepayments of any Loans prior to the date that they are due and payable under Section 2.4(a) have occurred, unless the RTO is otherwise notified by either Company within seven Business Days of any such delayed disbursement, overdue payment, or receipt of a prepayment.
Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or 5.
Manner of Borrowing and Payment (a) Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders. Each borrowing of Swing Loans shall be advanced by Swing Loan Lender alone.
(b) Promptly after receipt by Agent of a request or a deemed request for a Revolving Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof and, with respect to Revolving Advances, to the extent Agent elects not to provide a Swing Loan or the making of a Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Loans exceeding the maximum amount permitted in Section 2.4(a) hereof, Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of its receipt of such request specifying the information provided by Borrowing Agent and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance as determined by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Advance to Agent such that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 8.2 hereof, fund such Revolving Advance to Borrowers in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Payment Office prior to the close of business, on the applicable borrowing date; provided that if any applicable Lender fails to remit such funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance of such Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.20(c) hereof.
(c) Agent, on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, shall demand settlement (a “Settlement”) of all or any Swing Loans with Revolving Lenders on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that Agent elects or that Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable for any reason whatsoever may request, by notifying Revolving Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephonic or electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.23 hereof, each Revolving Lender shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent requested by Agent) of the applicable Swing Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested by Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate not later than 5:00 p.m. on such Settlement Date if requested by Agent by 3:00 p.m., otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. Settlements may occur at any time notwithstanding that the conditions precedent to making Revolving Advances set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time. All amounts so transferred to Agent shall be applied against the amount of outstanding Swing Loans and, when so applied shall constitute Revolving Advances of such Lenders accruing interest as Domestic Rate Loans. If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any Revolving Lender on such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.20(c) hereof.
(d) If any Lender or Participant (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender’s Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.
(e) Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Commitment Percentage of the Advances available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to Agent on the next Settlement Date and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. Agent will promptly notify Borrowing Agent of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. If such amount is made available to Agent on a date after such next Settlement Date, such Lender shall pay to Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (ii) such amount, times (iii) the number of days from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which such amount becomes immediately available to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (e) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such an amount, with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to such Revolving Advances hereunder, on demand from Borrowers; provided, however, that Agent’s right to such recovery shall not prejudice or otherwise adversely affect Borrowers’ rights (if any) against such Lender.
Making of Revolving Loans (i) In the event that Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan, then after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i), Agent shall notify the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, email, or other electronic form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing; such notification to be sent on the Business Day that is (A) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, at least one Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date, or (B) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, prior to 11:00 a.m. at least three Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date. If Agent has notified the Lenders of a requested Borrowing on the Business Day that is one Business Day prior to the Funding Date, then each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s Account, not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date. After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans from the Lenders, Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrowers on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to the Designated Account; provided, that subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), no Lender shall have an obligation to make any Revolving Loan, if (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.
(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to 9:30 a.m. on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date relative to a requested Borrowing as to which Agent has notified the Lenders of a requested Borrowing that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrowers the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. If, on the requested Funding Date, any Lender shall not have remitted the full amount that it is required to make available to Agent in immediately available funds and if Agent has made available to Borrowers such amount on the requested Funding Date, then such Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s Account, no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is the first Business Day after the requested Funding Date (in which case, the interest accrued on such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing for the Funding Date shall be for Agent’s separate account). If any Lender shall not remit the full amount that it is required to make available to Agent in immediately available funds as and when required hereby and if Agent has made available to Borrowers such amount, then that Lender shall be obligated to immediately remit such amount to Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day until the date on which such amount is so remitted. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.3(c)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If the amount that a Lender is required to remit is made available to Agent, then such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will notify Administrative Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans composing such Borrowing.
Making of Swing Loans In the case of a Revolving Loan and so long as any of (i) the aggregate amount of Swing Loans made since the last Settlement Date, minus all payments or other amounts applied to Swing Loans since the last Settlement Date, plus the amount of the requested Swing Loan does not exceed $10,000,000, or (ii) Swing Lender, in its sole discretion, agrees to make a Swing Loan notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, Swing Lender shall make a Revolving Loan (any such Revolving Loan made by Swing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) being referred to as a “Swing Loan” and all such Revolving Loans being referred to as “Swing Loans”) available to Borrowers on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds in the amount of such Borrowing to the Designated Account. Each Swing Loan shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions (including Section 3) applicable to other Revolving Loans, except that all payments (including interest) on any Swing Loan shall be payable to Swing Lender solely for its own account. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), Swing Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan if Swing Lender has actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (ii) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. Swing Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making any Swing Loan. The Swing Loans shall be secured by Agent’s Liens, constitute Revolving Loans and Obligations, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.
Mandatory Reduction of Commitments (a) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03 or any other Section of this Agreement, the Total Commitment (and the Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Commitment Termination Date.
(b) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03 or any other Section of this Agreement, the Total Commitment (and the Commitments of each Lender) shall be reduced:
(i) (immediately after the relevant Loans are made) on each Borrowing Date by the amount of Total Commitment utilized to make the Loans made on such Borrowing Date; and
(ii) on each borrowing date under the Other Term Loan Facility (immediately after the relevant loans are made on such borrowing date under the Other Term Loan Facility) by the amount of Total Commitment utilized to make the loans under the Other Term Loan Facility on such borrowing date.
(c) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03 or any other Section of this Agreement, the Total Commitment shall be terminated at the times required by Section 4.02.
(d) Each reduction to the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.03 and Section 4.02 shall be applied proportionately to reduce the Commitment of each Lender.
(e) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03 or any other Section of this Agreement, the Total Commitment shall be reduced pursuant to Section 3.03 and 3.02 of the Other Term Loan Facility.
Reduction of Commitments The Parent shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (or such later time as may be reasonable acceptable to the Administrative Agent), to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portion of the Revolving Commitments; provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be permanent, with no obligation of the Revolving Lenders to reinstate such Revolving Commitments, and the Commitment Fees shall thereafter be computed on the basis of the Revolving Commitments, as so reduced. To the extent that a Revolving Commitment reduction would result in the Revolving Outstanding Amount exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall reduce the Revolving Outstanding Amount such that after giving effect to such reduction such excess has been eliminated. Such reductions shall be made to the extent necessary by first prepaying the Revolving Advances outstanding at such time, and second depositing in the Cash Collateral Account an amount of cash equal to 100% of the remaining excess to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral and applied to satisfy drawings under Letters of Credit as they occur. If after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Commitments under this Section, either the Aggregate Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Sublimit exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments as so reduced, the Aggregate Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swingline Sublimit or both, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.
