Repayment of Borrowings repay the principal of, or pay interest on or any other sum in connection with any of its Borrowed Money except for Borrowed Money pursuant to the Security Documents;
Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings The Borrower shall have the right at any time (subject to Section 2.02(b)) upon prior written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 12:30 p.m., one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing and (ii) not later than 12:30 p.m., three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, subject in each case to the following: (a) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing; (b) if less than all of the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(b) and 2.02(c) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type; (c) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent recording, for the account of such Lender, the Type of such Loan resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion; and (d) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16. Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable (subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15) and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted into an ABR Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings or Protective Advances, which shall at all times be ABR Borrowings.
Types of Borrowings The term “Borrowing” denotes the aggregation of Loans of one or more Banks to be made to the Company pursuant to Article 2 on a single date, all of which Loans are of the same type (subject to Article 8) and, except in the case of Base Rate Loans, have the same initial Interest Period. Borrowings are classified for purposes of this Agreement by reference to the pricing of Loans comprising such Borrowing (e.g., a “Euro-Dollar Borrowing” is a Borrowing comprised of Euro-Dollar Loans).
Calculation of Borrowing Base For purposes of this Agreement, the “Borrowing Base” shall be determined, as at any date of determination, as the sum of the Advance Rates of the Value of each Portfolio Investment (excluding any Cash Collateral held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(k) or the last paragraph of Section 2.09(a)); provided that: (a) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments in a consolidated group of corporations or other entities (collectively, a “Consolidated Group”), in accordance with GAAP, that exceeds 10% of Shareholders’ Equity of the Borrower (which, for purposes of this calculation shall exclude the aggregate amount of investments in, and advances to, Financing Subsidiaries) shall be 50% of the Advance Rate otherwise applicable; provided that, with respect to the Portfolio Investments in a single Consolidated Group designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent such 10% figure shall be increased to 12.5%; (b) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments of all issuers in a Consolidated Group exceeding 20% of Shareholders’ Equity of the Borrower (which, for purposes of this calculation shall exclude the aggregate amount of investments in, and advances to, Financing Subsidiaries) shall be 0%; (c) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments in any single Industry Classification Group that exceeds 20% of Shareholders’ Equity of the Borrower (which for purposes of this calculation shall exclude the aggregate amount of investments in, and advances to, Financing Subsidiaries) shall be 0%; provided that, with respect to the Portfolio Investments in a single Industry Classification Group from time to time designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent such 20% figure shall be increased to 30% and, accordingly, only to the extent that the Value for such single Industry Classification Group exceeds 30% of the Shareholders’ Equity shall the Advance Rate applicable to such excess Value be 0%; (d) no Portfolio Investment may be included in the Borrowing Base unless the Collateral Agent maintains a first priority, perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on such Portfolio Investment and such Portfolio Investment has been Delivered (as such term is used in and to the extent required under Section 7.01(a) of the Guarantee and Security Agreement) to the Collateral Agent, and then only for so long as such Portfolio Investment continues to be Delivered as contemplated therein; (e) the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Performing Non-Cash Pay High Yield Securities, Performing Non-Cash Pay Mezzanine Investments, Equity Interests and Non-Performing Portfolio Investments shall not exceed 20%; (f) the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Equity Interests shall not exceed 10% (it being understood that in no event shall Equity Interests of Financing Subsidiaries be included in the Borrowing Base); (g) the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Non-Performing Portfolio Investments shall not exceed 15% and the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Portfolio Investments that were Non-Performing Portfolio Investments at the time such Portfolio Investments were acquired shall not exceed 5%; and (h) the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Portfolio Investments invested outside the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden shall not exceed 5% without the consent of the Administrative Agent. As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:
Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances pursuant to this Section 2.9 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.2 or 2.7. Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.2 or 2.7 or (y) the Company shall have given the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.6, the Company may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Advance. The Company shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying: (i) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation; (ii) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued; and (iii) the amount of the Advance which is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided that no Advance may be continued as, or converted into, a Eurodollar Advance if (x) such continuation or conversion would violate any provision of this Agreement or (y) a Default or Event of Default exists.
Funding of Borrowings (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided, that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided, that ABR Revolving Loans and Swingline Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of a L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any 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 clause (a) of this Section 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 Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount 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 (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans at such time. 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 such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount 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. (c) The foregoing notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may from its own funds make a Revolving Facility Loan on behalf of the Lenders (including by means of Swingline Loans to the Borrower). In such event, the applicable Lenders on behalf of whom the Administrative Agent made the Revolving Facility Loan shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all or any portion of such Revolving Facility Loan made on its behalf upon written notice given to each applicable Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Business Day such reimbursement is requested. The entire amount of interest attributable to such Revolving Facility Loan for the period from and including the date on which such Revolving Facility Loan was made on such Lender’s behalf to but excluding the date the Administrative Agent is reimbursed in respect of such Revolving Facility Loan by such Lender shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account.
Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates (a) Notice to the Administrative Agent. RCE, on behalf of itself or any other Borrower, shall give notice to the Administrative Agent by no later than: (i) 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) at least three Business Days before the date on which RCE on behalf of the applicable Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, (ii) at least three Business Days before the date on which RCE, on behalf of the Borrowers, requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Term Loans which shall be the Fixed Rate Loan, and (iii) 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date RCE on behalf of the applicable Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified in such notice of a new Borrowing. Thereafter, RCE, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, may (except with respect to the Fixed Rate Loan) from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirement contained in Section 1.5 for each outstanding Borrowing, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, RCE, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, may (subject to the notice requirement set forth herein) continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans or (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, RCE, on behalf of itself or the applicable Borrower, may (subject to the notice requirement set forth herein) convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by RCE, on behalf of itself or the applicable Borrower. RCE, on behalf of itself or the applicable Borrower shall give all such notices requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by telephone or telecopy (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (Notice of Borrowing) or Exhibit C (Notice of Continuation/Conversion), as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notices of the continuation of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans or of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans must be given by no later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) at least three Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All such notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) there shall be no Fixed Rate Loans available hereunder other than the $30,000,000 Borrowing of Term Loans advanced on the Closing Date and (ii) the Borrowers shall have no right to convert all of any portion of such Fixed Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan or Base Rate Loan. The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic or telecopy notice given by any person the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative of RCE without the necessity of independent investigation and, in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon.
Manner of Borrowing Each Borrowing hereunder shall be made by a single Borrower (it being understood and agreed that any Qualified Borrower’s Obligations shall be guaranteed by the Initial Borrower in accordance with Section 2.9 hereof). The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice at the Agency Services Address of the date of each requested Borrowing hereunder, which notice may be by telephone, if confirmed in writing, facsimile, electronic mail, or other written communication substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (a “Request for Borrowing”). Each Request for Borrowing: (a) shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent no later than the Specified Time; and (b) must specify: (i) the amount of such Borrowing; (ii) the Interest Option; (iii) in the case of a request for LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period therefor and currency (which shall be, subject to Section 2.2 hereof, US Dollars or an Alternate Currency); and (iv) including a confirmation that such Borrowing will be secured (either directly or indirectly) by a first priority, exclusive security interest and Lien (subject to Permitted Liens), granted to the Secured Parties, in and on 100% of the Unused Commitments of all Investors, which can be satisfied by checking the box next to such confirmation in a Request for Borrowing. If multiple Borrowers are requesting a Borrowing on the same date, then a separate Request for Borrowing shall be submitted by each applicable Borrower (or such Request for borrowing shall specify the respective amounts being requested by each applicable Borrower). Any Request for Borrowing received by the Administrative Agent after the Specified Time shall be deemed to have been given by the applicable Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day. No Request for Borrowing shall be required to be delivered in connection with any Borrowing under Section 2.8(g)(i), 2.9(f), 2.12(b), 3.3(c) or 3.3(d) hereof.
Authorization of Borrowing Etc (a) Each Obligor has duly authorized by all necessary corporate action the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents to which it is a party do not and will not (i) (A) violate any provision of any law or any governmental rule or regulation or order applicable to or binding on such Obligor, (B) violate any provision of the Certificate or Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of such Obligor, (C) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Contractual Obligation of such Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries except to the extent of any such violation, conflict, breach, default, or imposition of Lien (of which no Obligor has Actual Knowledge) which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (D) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the Collateral (except as permitted in the applicable Collateral Document) or on any other property (except as permitted under Section 5.13 hereof), or (ii) require any approval of stockholders or any approval or consent of any Person under any Contractual Obligation of such Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such approvals or consents which will have been obtained on or before the Closing Date, except for any such approval or consent under a Contractual Obligation and the failure to obtain which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. (b) The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the use of the proceeds of the Loans do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any federal, state or other Governmental Authority or regulatory body or any other Person which is required to be obtained or made on or prior to the Closing Date and which has not previously been obtained or made. (c) Each Obligor has duly executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents to which it is party and each such Loan Document is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Obligor, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, including materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). (d) No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of Regulations U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.
