Termination of an Issuing Bank The Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank’s acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the fifth Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero.

Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans.

Replacement of an Issuing Bank An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank.

The Swing Line Advances (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swing Line Lender severally agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available from time to time to the Borrowers by making swing line advances (“Swing Line Advances”) on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date applicable to such Swing Line Lender to the Borrower requesting such extension of credit under subsection (b) of this Section 2.20. Such Swing Line Advances shall be denominated in Euros and, in the aggregate, shall not exceed (x) at any time outstanding (i) for each Swing Line Lender (1) such Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Commitment then in effect and (2) when aggregated to such Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and such Swing Line Lender’s unfunded participations in Swing Line Advances made by any other Swing Line Lender, such Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect and (ii) for all Swing Line Advances, the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit or (y) at the time of such Swing Line Advance, the aggregate Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.20, prepay Swing Line Advances under Section 2.10 or repay Swing Line Advances under Section 2.06(a), and reborrow under this Section 2.20. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Advance, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to purchase, from the applicable Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Advance in an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share of such Swing Line Advance.
Repayment of Swing Line Loans The Borrower shall pay each Swing Line Loan in full on the date selected by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole discretion with respect to any outstanding Swing Line Loan require each Lender to fund the participation acquired by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.21(c) or require each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Loan in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Swing Line Loan (including, without limitation, any interest accrued and unpaid thereon) for the purpose of repaying such Swing Line Loan. Not later than noon (Minneapolis time) on the date of any notice received pursuant to this Section, each Lender shall make available its required Revolving Loan, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII. Revolving Loans made pursuant to this Section shall initially be Base Rate Loans and thereafter may be continued as Base Rate Loans or converted into Eurocurrency Loans in the manner provided in Section 2.7 and subject to the other conditions and limitations set forth in this Article II. Unless a Lender notifies the Swing Line Lender, prior to its making any Swing Line Loan, that any applicable condition precedent set forth in Section 4.1 or 4.2 has not been satisfied, such Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section to repay Swing Line Loans or to fund the participation acquired pursuant to Section 2.21(c) shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any other Person, (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, or (d) any other circumstances, happening or event whatsoever. In the event that any Lender fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section, interest shall accrue thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand and ending on the date such amount is received, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied. On the Facility Termination Date, the Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Loans.
