Credit Party Assignments No Credit Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or other obligations hereunder or under any other Financing Document without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.
Lender Assignments Each Lender may, with the consent of Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing for more than 30 days, Borrower (not required in connection with an assignment to a Person that is (x) a Lender or an Affiliate thereof or (y) a limited partner of Atlantic Park or an affiliated fund of such limited partner; provided that, in the case of clause (y), prior written notice shall be provided to the Borrower of such assignment), assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents upon execution and delivery to Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, of an Assignment and Acceptance and a processing and recordation fee payable to Agent for its account of $3,500, if the assignee is not a Lender the assignee shall provide the Agent with all “know your customer” documents requested by the Agent pursuant to anti-money laundering rules and regulations; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment of any Commitments or Loans unless it shall have objected thereto by notice to the Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower has received written notice thereof. No such assignment shall be for less than $5,000,000 of the Commitments or Loans unless it is to another Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, and each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations in respect of the Commitments and the Loans. Upon the execution and delivery to Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance and the payment of the recordation fee to Agent, from and after the such assignment is recorded in the Register (the “Acceptance Date”),
Additional Borrowers Other investment companies (or series of investment companies), in addition to those Borrowers which are original signatories to this Agreement, may, with the written approval of all the Banks, become parties to this Agreement and be deemed Tranche A Borrowers for all purposes of this Agreement by executing an instrument substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (with such changes therein may be approved by the Banks), which instrument shall (i) have attached to it a copy of this Agreement (as the same may have been amended) with a revised Allocation Notice reflecting the participation of such additional investment company and (ii) be accompanied by the documents and instruments required to be delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, including, without limitation, an opinion of counsel for such Borrower, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel; provided, that the joinder of any additional Borrower shall be effective no earlier than five (5) Business Days following receipt by the Banks of such documents and information requested by the Administrative Agent or any Bank that are reasonably required in order to comply with “know-your-customer” and other anti-terrorism, anti-money laundering and similar rules and regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act; and provided, further, that no such additional Borrower shall be added unless each of the Banks consent, except that (A) to the extent an existing Borrower converts to a “master/feeder” structure, no consent shall be required for the master trust in such structure to become a Borrower hereunder after such conversion, provided the converting Borrower ceases to be a Borrower hereunder on or prior to such conversion and provided that such master trust is formed under the laws of a State in the United States and (B) to the extent that an existing Borrower which is a “master trust” is merged into (or transfers all or substantially all of its assets and liabilities to) its feeder fund (the “Former Feeder Fund”), no consent shall be required for such Former Feeder Fund to become a Borrower if in connection with such merger or transfer such Former Feeder Fund shall hold all or substantially all the assets and liabilities of the prior master trust, such Former Feeder Fund is formed under the laws of a State in the United States and, prior to such merger or transfer, such Former Feeder Fund shall have no Debt. Additional Borrowers may be added to this Agreement only once per each calendar quarter. Each new Borrower added to the Credit Facility after the addition of five (5) new Borrowers shall pay a new Borrower’s fee in the amount of $1,500 to the Administrative Agent, provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, waive the requirement to pay such fee. To the extent that the Banks deem that the Permitted Asset Coverage Ratio is insufficient with respect to any Additional Borrower, the Joinder in which such Additional Borrower becomes a Borrower may, with the agreement of such Additional Borrower and each Bank, contain language amending this Agreement to provide for a different Permitted Asset Coverage Ratio with respect to such Additional Borrower.
New Lender The New Lender hereby joins in, becomes a party to, and agrees to comply with and be bound by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and under each and every other Loan Document to which any Lender is required to be bound by the Credit Agreement, to the same extent as if the New Lender were an original signatory thereto. The New Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. The New Lender represents and warrants that (a) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Second Amendment, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, (b) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 8.01 thereof, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Second Amendment and to become a Lender on the basis of which it has made such analysis and decision independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and (c) from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, it shall be a party to and be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder.
Reaffirmation of Credit Party Obligations Each Credit Party hereby ratifies the Credit Agreement and acknowledges and reaffirms (a) that it is bound by all terms of the Credit Agreement applicable to it and (b) that it is responsible for the observance and full performance of its respective Credit Party Obligations.
Borrower The term “Borrower” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, association, partnership (general or limited), limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of Borrower or any interest in Borrower.
SPV Lender Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.6, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This Section 13.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of the SPV. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) no SPV shall be entitled to any greater rights under Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to absent the use of such SPV and (y) each SPV agrees to be subject to the requirements of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 as though it were a Lender and has acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6.
