Financing Commitments (a) Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, or advisable to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitment Letter, including using commercially reasonable efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Commitment Letter, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent and Merger Sub’s obtaining the Financing that are within their control, (iii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Financing Commitment Letter, and (iv) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing. Without the Company’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), Parent shall not, and shall not permit Merger Sub to, agree to or permit any amendment, replacement, supplement, or other modification of, or waive any of its material rights under, the Financing Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements related to the Financing Commitment Letter (including any and all fee letters), if such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification or waiver would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay, or materially impede the consummation of the Financing or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Merger Sub may (without the prior consent of the Company) replace and amend the Financing Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, book runners, syndication agents, or similar entities that had not executed the Financing Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement, so long as any such addition would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially hinder, or materially delay the consummation of the Financing or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon any such amendment, replacement, supplement, or modification of any of the Financing Commitment Letter in accordance with this Section 5.16(a), the term “Financing Commitment Letter” shall mean the Financing Commitment Letter as so amended, replaced, supplemented, or modified in accordance with this Section 5.16(a), and the term “Financing” shall mean the financing contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letter as so amended, replaced, supplemented or modified.
Financing Commitment For the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the fifth anniversary hereof, Atlas America and Resource Energy agree to provide to the MLP funding of up to an aggregate of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) per annum to finance the cost of expanding the Gathering System or constructing new additions to the Gathering System. Atlas America and Resource Energy, jointly and severally, commit to provide such funding, upon the MLP's written request therefor, by purchasing Common Units at a price equal to the arithmetic average of the closing prices of the Common Units on the American Stock Exchange, or, if the American Stock Exchange is not the principal trading market for such security, on the principal trading market for such security, for the twenty consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the purchase, or, if the fair market value of the Common Units cannot be calculated for such period on any of the foregoing bases, the average fair market value during such period as reasonably determined in good faith by the members of the managing board of the General Partner.
Capital Commitments (a) The Partnership may from time to time, in the discretion of the Managing General Partner, issue additional Partnership Units and admit additional Limited Partners to the Partnership. Any Person that acquires Partnership Units for cash (an “Investor”) will acquire such Units pursuant to an agreement (a “Subscription Agreement”) between such Investor and the Partnership pursuant to which such Investor agrees to acquire, and the Partnership agrees to issue, Partnership Units in exchange for Capital Contributions in cash on such terms and conditions as are provided in this Agreement and as may be provided in such Subscription Agreement. A Subscription Agreement shall become effective as of the date it has been executed and delivered by the Investor party thereto and accepted by the Managing General Partner on behalf of the Partnership. Units issuable pursuant to a Subscription Agreement may be issuable in installments, with each installment being issuable, and the Capital Contribution therefor being payable, in accordance with calls for capital (“Capital Calls”) issued pursuant to written notice (the “Capital Call Notice”) to the Investor party to such Subscription Agreement. The total purchase price payable by any Investor under a Subscription Agreement for the Units issuable pursuant thereto is referred to as such Investor’s “Capital Commitment”. Each Investor which acquires any Units pursuant to a Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to be admitted to the Partnership as a Partner immediately upon the payment of the purchase price for the first Units so issued to such Investor. The aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made by a Partner (in cash or property) is referred to herein as such Partner’s “Funded Commitment”, and the portion of the Capital Commitment provided for in any Subscription Agreement that remains unpaid after any closing of a purchase and issuance of Units thereto shall be referred to as the “Unfunded Commitment” of the Partner party to such Subscription Agreement. Except as provided in Section 11.4(c), in no event will any Partner be required to contribute any capital to the Partnership in excess of such Partner’s Capital Commitment.
(b) If at any time the Managing General Partner determines to raise capital by issuing Capital Calls to Partners having Unfunded Commitments, it shall generally issue such Capital Calls pro rata to each such Partner in proportion to the Unfunded Commitment of each such Partner. However, the Managing General Partner may, in its discretion, issue Capital Calls other than pro rata to the extent required by the terms of any Subscription Agreement or other agreement between the Partnership or the Managing General Partner and one or more Partners, or if the Managing General Partner otherwise deems it advisable to issue Capital Calls in some manner other than pro rata (for example, to assist in achieving or maintaining the status of any REIT in which the Partnership has a direct or indirect interest as a “domestically controlled” REIT). Each Capital Call Notice issued by the Managing General Partner shall specify the account to which Capital Contributions are to be delivered pursuant thereto and the date on which such Capital Contributions are due (“Payment Date”), which date shall be no sooner than ten Business Days after the date such Capital Call Notice is issued. All Capital Contributions made on or before the Payment Date specified in a Capital Call Notice shall be deemed to have been made on such Payment Date.

Revolving Commitments (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Commitment Period, at such times as the Borrower may request in accordance with Section 2.2, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that (i) no Revolving Loan shall be made to the extent the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans would exceed the Total Commitments, (ii) no Borrowing Base A Loans shall be made to the extent that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Borrowing Base A Loans would exceed the aggregate Loan Value of the Pledged Eligible Assets (including the Pledged Eligible Assets referred to in Section 2.2(a)(ii) with respect to such Revolving Loan) and (iii) no Borrowing Base B Loans shall be made to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Borrowing Base B Loans would exceed the Borrowing Base B Limit; provided further that Borrowing Base B Loans may not be borrowed on any date in any rolling period of 90 consecutive days if Borrowing Base B Loans have already been outstanding for 30 days during such period. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may borrow, prepay the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrow, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Termination Date.
(c) The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Revolving Loans as required.
The Letter of Credit Commitments (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the L/C Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of Holdings (to the extent not prohibited under Section 7.09), the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries (so long as the Borrower is a co-applicant and jointly and severally liable thereunder) (provided that any such Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of Holdings or any Subsidiary of the Borrower) and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(2), and (B) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit and (ii) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided that no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (x) the Revolving Exposure of any Revolving Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Sublimit. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” issued on the Closing Date for all purposes of the Loan Documents. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
(b) An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Existing Letters of Credit) if:
(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 Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or direct 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 Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder);
(ii) subject to Section 2.03(2)(c), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless (A) each Appropriate Lender has approved of such expiration date or (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank prior to the date that is twelve months after the date of issuance thereof;
(iii) subject to Section 2.03(2)(c), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the L/C Expiration Date, unless (I) each Appropriate Lender has approved of such expiration date or (II) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank prior to the L/C Expiration Date;
(iv) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; provided that no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue either (A) letters of guarantee or bankers’ acceptances or (B) commercial letters of credit, in each case without its consent; or
(v) any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(1)(d)) 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.
(c) An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (i) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
Investment Commitment The undersigned's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the undersigned's net worth, and an investment in the Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.
Loan Commitments (i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make, on the Closing Date, an Initial Term Loan to Company in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Initial Term Loan Commitment. Company may make only one borrowing under the Initial Term Loan Commitment which shall be on the Closing Date. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.1(a)(i) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to Sections 2.13(a) and 2.14, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Initial Term Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Term Loan Maturity Date. Each Lender’s Initial Term Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender’s Initial Term Loan Commitment on such date.
(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make, at any time during the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Period, Delayed Draw Term Loans to Company in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment. Each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the remaining Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment). Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.1(a)(ii) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to Sections 2.13(a) and 2.14, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Term Loan Maturity Date. Each Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment shall (A) immediately and without further action reduce on each Credit Date by the amount of Delayed Draw Term Loans made by such Lender on such Credit Date and (B) terminate immediately and without further action on the earlier of the date on which the maximum permitted amount of Delayed Draw Term Loans are funded or the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date.
Total Commitment The sum of the Commitments of the Banks, as in effect from time to time.
Equity Commitment (a) This letter agreement confirms the commitment of each Sponsor, severally and not jointly, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, simultaneous with the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), to purchase, or to cause the purchase of, at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, equity interests of Parent (or one or more affiliates of Parent organized to consummate the Merger) at a purchase price equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration and to pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent in immediately available funds at or prior to the Closing an aggregate cash purchase price for such purchase equal to the amount set forth opposite such Sponsor’s name on Schedule A hereto (such amount with respect to each Sponsor, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1(b) below, is referred to as such Sponsor’s “Equity Commitment”), which will be used by Parent solely for the purpose of funding the aggregate Merger consideration required to be paid by Parent to consummate the Merger, and all other amounts constituting the Exchange Fund pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Merger Agreement, together with related fees and expenses; provided that (i) no Sponsor shall, under any circumstances, be obligated to contribute more than its Equity Commitment to Parent, and the Sponsors, collectively, shall not, under any circumstances, be obligated to contribute more than US$79,500,000 (the “Aggregate Commitment”) to Parent; and (ii) the liability of each Sponsor hereunder shall not exceed its Equity Commitment, and the liability of the Sponsors, collectively, shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment.
(b) Each Sponsor may effect the funding of its Equity Commitment directly or indirectly through one or more Affiliates of such Sponsor or any other investment fund advised, managed and/or appointed by an Affiliate of such Sponsor or any other private equity fund who is a limited partner of such Sponsor or of an Affiliate of such Sponsor. No Sponsor will be under any obligation under any circumstances to contribute more than the amount of its Equity Commitment to Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person. In the event Parent does not require an amount equal to the Aggregate Commitment in order to consummate the Merger, the amount of each Sponsor’s Equity Commitment to be funded under this letter agreement shall be reduced by Parent on a pro rata basis, to the level sufficient for, in combination with any other financing arrangements that may be contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and pay all related fees and expenses incurred or required to be paid by Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement.
