Letter of Credit Participation See Section 4.1.4.
Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit Immediately upon the issuance by the Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the liability of the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to the Issuing Lender to pay and discharge when due, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Issuing Lender’s liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Lender to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.3(j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Issuing Lender by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.6(b)(ii)).
Letter of Credit Participations (a) Immediately upon the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender (each such Revolving Credit Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3, an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in each Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided that the Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided in Section 4.1(b) and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees.
Letter of Credit Amounts Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
Letter of Credit Liabilities At any time and in respect of any Letter of Credit, the sum of (a) the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit plus (b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all drawings made under such Letter of Credit which have not been repaid (including repayment by a Revolving Credit Loan). For purposes of this Agreement, a Revolving Credit Lender (other than the Revolving Credit Lender acting as the Issuing Lender) shall be deemed to hold a Letter of Credit Liability in an amount equal to its participation interest in the related Letter of Credit under §2.10, and the Revolving Credit Lender acting as the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to hold a Letter of Credit Liability in an amount equal to its retained interest in the related Letter of Credit after giving effect to the acquisition by the Revolving Credit Lenders other than the Revolving Credit Lender acting as the Issuing Lender of their participation interests under such Section.
Letter of Credit Obligations In the event any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time that the Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated, Borrower shall deposit with Agent for the benefit of all Revolving Lenders cash in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations to be available to Agent to reimburse payments of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit and pay any Fees and expenses related thereto.
Letter of Credit Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a clean, irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) established in Landlord’s (and its successors’ and assigns’) favor in the Letter of Credit Amount, issued by a federally insured banking or lending institution (i.e., insured by the FDIC) with a retail banking branch located within the continental United States reasonably acceptable to Landlord and in other form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The Letter of Credit shall specifically provide for partial draws, shall be self-renewing annually as an “Evergreen” letter of credit, without amendment, for additional one-year periods, shall have a term that is self-renewing until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term of the Lease and shall by its terms be transferable by the beneficiary thereunder for a transfer fee not to exceed $250.00 payable by Tenant. If Tenant fails to make any payment of rent or other charges due to Landlord under the terms of the Lease, or otherwise defaults hereunder, beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make a demand for payment under the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amounts then due and owing to Landlord under the Lease. In the event that Landlord draws upon the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall present to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit in the full Letter of Credit Amount satisfying all of the terms and conditions of this Section within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Landlord of such draw. Tenant’s failure to do so within such 10-day period will constitute a default hereunder (Tenant hereby waiving any additional notice and grace or cure period), and upon such default Landlord shall be entitled to immediately exercise all rights and remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity. In the event that the Letter of Credit is terminated by the issuer thereof prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration date of this Lease, as set forth above, and Tenant has not presented to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit which complies with the terms and conditions of the Lease on or before thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any such Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, then Tenant shall be deemed in default hereunder and Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for hereunder, shall have the right to draw upon the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord and any such amount paid to Landlord by the issuer of the Letter of Credit shall be held in a segregated account by Landlord as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Any interest earned on such amounts shall be the property of Landlord. Landlord’s election to draw under the Letter of Credit and to hold the proceeds of the drawing under the Letter of Credit in a segregated account shall not be deemed a cure of any default by Tenant hereunder and shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to present to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit which complies with the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that any proceeds of a draw made under the Letter of Credit and thereafter held in a segregated account by Landlord may be used by Landlord to cure or satisfy any obligation of Tenant hereunder as if such proceeds were instead proceeds of a draw made under a Letter of Credit that remained outstanding and in full force and effect at the time such amounts are applied by Landlord to cure or satisfy any such obligation of Tenant. Tenant hereby affirmatively disclaims any interest Tenant has, may have, claims to have, or may claim to have in any proceeds drawn by Landlord under the Letter of Credit and held in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that at the end of the Term of the Lease (whether by expiration or earlier termination hereof), and if Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, Landlord shall return to the issuer of the Letter of Credit or its successor (or as such issuer may direct in writing) any remaining and unapplied proceeds of any prior draws made under the Letter of Credit, and Tenant shall have no rights, residual or otherwise, in or to such proceeds. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord will have the right to require Tenant to have a new Letter of Credit issued in accordance with the above requirements from a different Issuer if either the original Issuer is placed on an FDIC “watch list”, if the FDIC or similar state or federal banking regulatory agency is appointed as receiver or conservator for such Issuer or if Landlord analyzes such Issuer’s capitalization, asset quality, earnings, and/or liquidity and in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, disapproves of such Issuer’s financial wherewithal and ability to remain as the issuer of the Letter of Credit. Such new Letter of Credit must comply with the foregoing requirements and must be issued within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s demand therefor. Provided Tenant is not then in default (regardless of any notice and cure periods) and has not been in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods during the prior twelve (12) months, the Letter of Credit Amount shall reduce during the Term of this Lease on the first date of the respective Lease Year as set forth below: Date of Reduction Amount of Reduction of Letter of Credit Remaining Letter of Credit Amount after Reduction First day of the 2nd Lease Year of the Term $ 13,148.44 $ 52,593.76 First day of the 3rd Lease Year of the Term $ 13,148.44 $ 39,445.32 First day of the 4th Lease Year of the Term $ 13,148.44 $ 26,296.88 First day of the 5th Lease Year of the Term $ 13,148.44 $ 13,148.44 Should Tenant be in default (regardless of any notice and cure periods) as of the specified reduction date, or if Tenant otherwise has been in default as specified above beyond any applicable notice and/or cure periods, no reduction shall occur as of such applicable date. The Letter of Credit shall specifically provide that the Letter of Credit is subject to reduction in accordance with the terms of the Lease. If Tenant is then or has been in default and the Letter of Credit balance is not or was not reduced, then at the first date of the next scheduled reduction Lease Year, the Letter of Credit Amount will only be reduced by the next scheduled reduction amount and will not skip to the otherwise applicable Lease Year.
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.
Participations in Letters of Credit Concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment, and each such Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, in such Letter of Credit and the Company’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If the Company does not pay any reimbursement obligation when due, the Company shall be deemed to have immediately requested that the Lenders make a Revolving Loan which is a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount equal to such reimbursement obligations. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify such Lenders of such deemed request and, without the necessity of compliance with the requirements of Section 2.2.2, Section 12.2 or otherwise such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of such Loan. The proceeds of such Loan shall be paid over by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender for the account of the Company in satisfaction of such reimbursement obligations. For the purposes of this Agreement, the unparticipated portion of each Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Issuing Lender’s “participation” therein. The Issuing Lender hereby agrees, upon request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, to deliver to the Administrative Agent or such Lender a list of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, together with such information related thereto as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may reasonably request.
Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.4(d), Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitments. Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective participation, in an Equivalent Amount in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of Administrative Agent specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender with a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such business day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.4(e), Issuing Bank (acting through the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.4(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender with a Revolving Commitment to recover from Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section in the event that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Bank. In the event Issuing Bank (acting through the Administrative Agent) shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank (acting through the Administrative Agent) shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Issuing Bank from Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B or at such other address as such Lender may request.
