Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
Allocation by Administrative Agent If offers are made by two or more Banks with the same Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Banks as nearly as possible (in multiples of $1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Money Market Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers and Lenders The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices, Loan Notices, Letter of Credit Applications and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance in good faith by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
Incremental Lenders Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Incremental Revolving Commitments may be provided, by any existing Lender as approved by the Borrower (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Commitment (or Incremental Loan), nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Commitment (or Incremental Loan)) or by any Additional Lender (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Loan or Commitment, an “Incremental Term Lender” or “Incremental Revolving Lender,” as applicable, and, collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”); provided that (i) the Administrative Agent (or in the case of the Priority Revolving Facility, the Priority Revolving Agent) or, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitments only, each Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank, shall have consented (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.07(2) for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender, (ii) with respect to Incremental Term Commitments, any Affiliated Lender providing an Incremental Term Commitment shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in Section 10.07(8) as they would otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment to such Affiliated Lender of Term Loans and (iii) Affiliated Lenders may not provide Incremental Revolving Commitments.
Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender after Assignment Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swingline Lender, (A) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (B) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.
Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
Additional Lenders (a) For a period of 60 days after extension of a Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.16(a) that has resulted in a reduction of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders, the Borrower may request that one or more additional banks or other Persons (each, an "Additional Lender") become party to this Agreement as Lenders and that the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders be increased to reflect the Commitments allocated to each such Additional Lender; provided, that the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders after giving effect to such increase shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders immediately prior to such former Termination Date. Addition of an Additional Lender shall be made only with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and with the written consent of the Borrower (which consent may be granted or withheld in its absolute discretion). Each Additional Lender must be an Eligible Assignee and, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the initial Commitment of each Additional Lender shall not be less than $10,000,000.
(b) Addition of an Additional Lender shall be effected by the Additional Lender executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, a duly completed Additional Lender Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit G attached hereto. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmittal to such Additional Lender a Note in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto in the amount of the Commitment of such Additional Lender. Acceptance by the Administrative Agent of an Additional Lender is subject to the conditions that the Administrative Agent shall have received, with a counterpart for each Lender, (i) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, dated the effective date of such Additional Lender Supplement, as to the accuracy, both before and after giving effect to such proposed addition, of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.01 and as to the absence, both before and after giving effect to such proposed extension, of any Event of Default or event that with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, (ii) certified copies of all corporate and governmental approvals, if any, required to be obtained by the Borrower in connection with such proposed addition, (iii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower (who shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as to the matters set forth in Exhibit D (appropriately modified to include, in addition to the other matters set forth therein, such Additional Lender Supplement and the new Note), and such other matters as any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, may reasonably request, and (iv) such other certificates and documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all of the foregoing to be satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent. Upon execution and delivery of the Additional Lender Supplement, acceptance by the Administrative Agent and recording in the Register, from and after the effective date specified in such Additional Lender Supplement, such Additional Lender shall be a party hereto and shall, to the extent of the Commitment specified in such Additional Lender Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder.
(c) If, at the time an Additional Lender is to become party to this Agreement, the continuing Lenders have any outstanding Advances, such Additional Lender shall offer to purchase from each continuing Lender, effective as of the date such Additional Lender becomes party to this Agreement, a portion of each continuing Lender's outstanding Advances, in such amounts as will have the result that, immediately after giving effect to such Additional Lender becoming party to this Agreement and to such purchases, each Lender (including the Additional Lender) shall share in the outstanding Advances in the same proportion as their respective Commitments. The Additional Lender shall offer in writing to purchase the requisite portion of each continuing Lender's outstanding Advances, at a price equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase, and a continuing Lender shall not unreasonably decline to accept such offer. Each such purchase shall be made in accordance with Section 8.07 (with the related Assignment and Acceptance modified, mutatis mutandis, to reflect that such purchase is not a purchase of any portion of the Commitment of the continuing Lender). Such purchases shall not be subject to the provisions of clause (ii) of Section 8.07(a), and the Borrower shall be responsible for all amounts payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 8.07(a). The Borrower shall pay to each continuing Lender on demand any amount that would be payable to such continuing Lender pursuant to Section 8.04(b) (which for this purpose shall be applied as if such assignment were a prepayment of the Advances assigned by such continuing Lender), and shall reimburse each continuing Lender on demand for all reasonable fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by it in connection with such assignment.
Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.
