Borrowing Base Agent shall have received evidence from Borrowers that the aggregate amount of Eligible Receivables and Eligible Inventory is sufficient in value and amount to support Advances in the amount requested by Borrowers on the Closing Date;
Initial Borrowing Base For the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the first Redetermination Date, the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be $2,250,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowing Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to Section 2.14(e), (f) and (g).
Effectiveness of a Redetermined Borrowing Base Subject to Section 2.14(h), after a redetermined Borrowing Base is approved or is deemed to have been approved by the Borrowing Base Required Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.14(c)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the amount of the redetermined Borrowing Base (the “New Borrowing Base Notice”), and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders:
(i) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, (A) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.14(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, on the April 1st or October 1st, as applicable, following such notice, or (B) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.14(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such New Borrowing Base Notice; and
(ii) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such New Borrowing Base Notice. Subject to Section 2.14(h), such amount shall then become the Borrowing Base until the next Scheduled Redetermination Date, the next Interim Redetermination Date or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under Section 2.14(e), (f), (g) or (h), whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Scheduled Redetermination or Interim Redetermination shall become effective until the New Borrowing Base Notice related thereto is received by the Borrower.
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:
Revolver Advances (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term of this Agreement, each Lender with a Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make revolving loans (“Advances”) to Borrowers in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of:
(i) such Lender’s Commitment, or
(ii) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the lesser of:
(A) the Maximum Revolver Amount less the sum of (1) the Letter of Credit Usage at such time, plus (2) the principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding at such time, and
(B) the Borrowing Base at such time less the sum of (1) the Letter of Credit Usage at such time, plus (2) the principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding at such time.
(b) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Advances, together with interest accrued thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding, Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to establish, increase, reduce, eliminate, or otherwise adjust reserves from time to time against the Borrowing Base or the Maximum Revolver Amount in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, including (i) reserves in an amount equal to the Bank Product Reserve Amount, (ii) reserves with respect to (A) sums that Parent or its Subsidiaries are required to pay under any Section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and has failed to pay when due, and (B) amounts owing by Parent or its Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral (other than a Permitted Lien which is a permitted purchase money Lien or the interest of a lessor under a Capital Lease), which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Agent likely would have a priority superior to Agent’s Liens (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral, and (iii)
Borrowing Base Report The Agent shall have received from the Borrower the initial Borrowing Base Report dated as of the Closing Date.
Borrowing Base Reports Within thirty (30) days after the last day of each month, aged listings of accounts receivable and accounts payable (by invoice date) (the “Borrowing Base Reports”);
Term Loan Advances Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding for each Term Loan Advance shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to one percent (1.0%) above the Prime Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.3(d) below.
Revolving Advances (a) The Note A-2 Holder hereby agrees to advance to the Mortgage Loan Borrower any Revolving Advance required to be made under Note A-2 and the Mortgage Loan Documents, it being the specific intent of the parties hereto that no other Noteholder shall have any obligation and shall not be liable for making any Revolving Advance. The Note A-2 Holder shall remit each Revolving Advance on the date that such Revolving Advance is required to be made pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents and Note A-2. The parties hereto agree that (i) the determination of whether the Mortgage Loan Borrower is entitled to receive any Revolving Advance shall rest solely with the Note A-2 Holder, who shall be responsible for conducting any and all due diligence, loan documentation and pre-funding requirements in connection therewith, and (ii) the Note A-2 Holder shall be solely responsible for funding the Revolving Advance to the Mortgage Loan Borrower following such determination that the Mortgage Loan Borrower is entitled to receive such Revolving Advance under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
(b) For so long as the Revolving Advance Obligation has not been fully discharged and any Securitization is outstanding, Note A-2 may only be transferred to a transferee:
(i) that is a Qualified Institutional Lender, or
(ii) if the credit rating of the transferee from any applicable Rating Agency is lower than the credit rating of the Initial Note A-2 Holder, as to which the A-2 Holder has received confirmation in writing from each such Rating Agency that such Transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of its then current ratings of the Certificates, which confirmation will not be predicated upon any action by the Mortgage Loan Borrower. In addition, for so long as the Revolving Advance Obligation has not been fully discharged, (i) no Transfer of Note A-2 shall violate the Mortgage Loan Documents and (ii) the transferee shall assume all Revolving Advance Obligations pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee agrees to be bound by all provisions applicable to the Note A-2 Holder.
(c) The Note A-2 Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless each other Noteholder, any Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (each a “Revolving Advance Indemnified Party”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including the fees and disbursements of outside counsel retained by any such person) and liabilities in connection with, arising out of, or as a result of the Note A-2 Holder's failure to satisfy its obligations to make any and all Revolving Advances, including without limitation, (i) any claims made by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or its Affiliates or (ii) any failure of payment by the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Mortgage Loan, in each case that results from a failure to make any Revolving Advance as required under the Mortgage Loan Documents, except, as to such Future Funding Indemnified Party, to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that any losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities resulted primarily from the bad faith or willful misconduct of such Revolving Advance Indemnified Party. Each Revolving Advance Indemnified Party shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement with respect to the indemnification obligations of the Note A-2 Holder set forth in this Section 41. In the event that the Note A-2 Holder becomes involved in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any transaction or matter referred to or contemplated by this Agreement, the Note A-2 Holder shall promptly reimburse such Revolving Advance Indemnified Party upon demand therefor in an amount equal to its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the costs of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith to the extent such party is entitled to indemnification for such legal or other costs and expenses hereunder. In addition, the Note A-2 Holder agrees that each Revolving Advance Indemnified Party may deduct and offset any amount to be indemnified hereunder from and against any amount that is due to the Note A-2 Holder under the Servicing Agreement. The indemnification obligations of the Note A-2 Holder hereunder shall survive any termination of the Agreement. Each Revolving Advance Indemnified Party's rights pursuant to this Section 41 are in addition to any other rights a Revolving Advance Indemnified Party may have at law or in equity.
(d) The Note A-2 Holder shall provide notice of the making of any Revolving Advance and the amount of such Revolving Advance to each other Noteholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor.
(e) The Note A-1-A-1 Holder (or at any time when such Note is included in a Securitization, the Master Servicer) shall maintain a record of each Revolving Advance advanced by the Note A-2 Holder and will increase the Note A-2 Principal Balance by the amount of such Revolving Advance.
Interest on Revolving Credit Advances Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance made to such Borrower owing to each Lender from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
