Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations Each of the following is a condition precedent to Lender making the initial Loans and providing the initial Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder:
Letter of Credit Requirements (a) Any Letter of Credit required under this Loan Agreement must satisfy the following conditions:
The Letter of Credit Facility (a) On the terms and conditions set forth herein (i) the Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this SECTION 3.01, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Execution Date to the Termination Date to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Company, and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with SUBSECTIONS 3.02(c) and 3.02(e), and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (ii) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit Issued for the account of the Company; provided, that the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to Issue, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter of Credit if, as of the date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit (the "ISSUANCE DATE"), after giving effect to such Issuance, (1) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations plus the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans would exceed the lesser of (x) the combined Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base, or (2) the Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company's ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and, accordingly, the Company may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit which have expired or which have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
Cover for Letter of Credit Liabilities In the event that the Borrowers shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.10, to provide cover for Letter of Credit Liabilities, the Borrowers shall effect the same by paying to the Administrative Agent immediately available funds in an amount equal to the required amount, which funds shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in the Collateral Account (as collateral security in the first instance for the Letter of Credit Liabilities) until such time as the Letters of Credit shall have been terminated and all of the Letter of Credit Liabilities paid in full.
Conditions Precedent to All Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations Each of the following is an additional condition precedent to Lender making Loans and/or providing Letter of Credit Accommodations to Borrower, including the initial Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations and any future Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations:
Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof (including by way of facsimile). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C, appropriately completed (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”).
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.
Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a L/C Request and Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such L/C Request and Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion.
