Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by the Borrower giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6(b).

In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.6(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $7,500. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.

Each Issuing Bank will promptly confirm to the Administrative Agent the issuance of each Letter of Credit specifying the face amount thereof or any increase thereto, and the Administrative Agent will transmit such information to the Banks.

Letter of Credit Commitment (i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on any Business Day during the Letter of Credit Availability Period: (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Committed Lenders set forth in this Section 2.08: (1) to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of a Borrower Party, in aggregate face amounts that shall be not less than $100,000, as a Borrower Party may request (except to the extent a lesser amount is requested by such Borrower Party and agreed by Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it; and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) Committed Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower Party and any drawings thereunder; provided, however that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit: (I) the Principal Obligation will not exceed the Available Commitment; (II) the Letter of Credit Liability will not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit; (III) the aggregate Principal Obligation of the Lenders that are members of any Lender Group will not exceed the Lender Group Limit of such Lender Group; and (IV) the Principal Obligation of any Committed Lender will not exceed such Lender’s Commitment (minus any amounts funded in respect of a Loan hereunder (but not used to fund such Loan and accordingly not included in the Principal Obligation) by any such Committed Lender as a Liquidity Provider under a Liquidity Agreement). Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, a Borrower Party’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly a Borrower Party may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired (without any pending drawing) or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall have the right to approve the form of Letter of Credit requested.
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.
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)).
Reallocation of Commitments Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all outstanding “Revolving Credit Loans” given by the Lenders under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement owing by the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be Revolving Credit Loans hereunder. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the provisions regarding assignments set forth in Section 10.06 hereof, as of the Closing Date, (i) the Commitments and Applicable Percentages for each of the Lenders are as set forth on Schedule 2.01 and (ii) each Lender that is party to the Existing Credit Agreement whose loan commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement is greater than its Commitments hereunder shall be deemed to have assigned, without recourse, to one or more Lenders such portion of such decreasing Lender’s existing loans and commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement as shall be necessary to effectuate the reallocation of commitments and existing loans contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Credit Agreement or this Agreement, no other documents or instruments, including any Assignment and Assumption, shall be executed in connection with such assignments (all of which requirements are hereby waived), and such assignments shall be deemed to be made with all applicable representations, warranties and covenants as if evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption. On the Closing Date, the Lenders shall make full cash settlement with each other through the Administrative Agent with respect to all assignments, reallocations and other changes in commitments contemplated hereby such that after giving effect to such settlements each Lender’s Applicable Percentage with respect to the applicable Facility shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01; provided, that the foregoing re-allocations and deemed assignments shall not give rise to, and each Lender hereby waives, payment of any additional amounts under Section 3.05.
Reallocation of Applicable Revolving Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 11.20, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
