(ii) The Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the applicable Borrower and/or any one or more of its Subsidiaries and/or affiliates; provided, that the Issuing Banks shall not be obligated to issue, and no 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”) and after giving effect thereto, the Dollar Equivalent amount of the aggregate principal amount (without duplication) of all the Loans and L/C Obligations Outstanding exceeds or would exceed the Commitments of all Lenders. (iii) Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving and, accordingly, the Borrowers 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. (b) The Issuing Banks shall not issue any Letter of Credit if, to any such Issuing Bank’s knowledge: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Agreement Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Agreement Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; (ii) such Issuing Bank has received Notice from any Lender, the Agent or the applicable Borrower, on or prior to the Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Article 7 is not then satisfied; (iii) the expiry date of any requested Letter of Credit is more than one year after the date of issuance or is after the Commitment Termination Date of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Commitment Termination Date following which the aggregate amount of the Commitments remaining would not be at least equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations (taking into account the amount of the requested Letter of Credit) Outstanding as of the Issuance Date of such requested Letter of Credit; (iv) any requested Letter of Credit does not provide for drafts, or is not otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall violate any applicable policy of such Issuing Bank; (v) the applicable Issuing Bank does not, as of the requested date of issuance for such Letter of Credit, issue Letters of Credit in Canadian Dollars if requested by the applicable Borrower; (vi) the applicable Issuing Bank has not, as of the requested date of issuance for any Letter of Credit that a Borrower has requested in Canadian Dollars, consented to issue such Letter of Credit in Canadian Dollars; (vii) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the applicable Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the applicable Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 4.10(a)(i)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such Issuing Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or (viii) in the case of a Letter of Credit to be issued for the account of a Subsidiary or an affiliate of a Borrower, such Issuing Bank shall not have received such statements in substance and form reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank as such Issuing Bank shall require for the purpose of compliance with any applicable regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Federal Reserve Board, including, without limitation, applicable “know your customer” requirements.
Nature of Issuing Lenders’ Duties As between Company and any Issuing Lender, Company assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it 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 such 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 such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any 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, telegraph, telex 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 such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuing Lender's rights or powers hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this subsection 3.5B, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 3.5, Company shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Issuing Lender for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
Replacement of an Issuing Bank An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
Issuing Lender Fees In addition to the Letter of Credit Fees payable pursuant to subsection (b) hereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account without sharing by the other Lenders the reasonable and customary charges from time to time of the Issuing Lender with respect to the amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit (collectively, the "Issuing Lender Fees").
Letter of Credit Participation Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit hereunder, each Revolving Lender with a Pro Rata Share shall be deemed to have automatically, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from each Issuing Bank an undivided interest and participation in and to each Letter of Credit, the obligations of the Borrower in respect thereof, and the liability of the applicable Issuing Bank thereunder (collectively, an “L/C Interest”) in an amount equal to the amount available for drawing under such Letter of Credit multiplied by such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share. If the Borrower fails at any time to repay a Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 3.07, promptly following receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, each Revolving Lender shall make payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of any unreimbursed payment of an L/C Draft or other draw under a Letter of Credit. The obligation of each Revolving Lender to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank under this Section 3.06 shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute. In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 3.06, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Revolving Lender hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Revolving Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall relieve such Revolving Lender of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for such amount in accordance with this Section 3.06.
