Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree) and in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower must give the Swingline Lender prior written notice thereof no later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of such prepayment. The Swingline Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Note.
Swingline Loans (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Applicable Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $25,000,000 or (ii) the Dollar Amount of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Applicable Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Applicable Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Applicable Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of such Applicable Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Banks) by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage (after giving effect to the reallocation provisions of paragraph (d) below) of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage thereof is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Applicable Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from an Applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Applicable Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Applicable Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
Swing Line Loans The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility.
Swing Loan Commitment (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender agrees to lend to the Borrower (the “Swing Loans”), and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) in Dollars only, from time to time between the Closing Date and the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with this §2.5, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.9 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the Swing Loan Commitment; provided that in all events (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Outstanding U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans, Outstanding Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), Outstanding Bid Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the Total U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment; and (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (including the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans), Outstanding Term Loans, Outstanding Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), Outstanding Bid Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities, shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment, or (B) the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability. Swing Loans shall constitute “Revolving Credit Loans” for all purposes hereunder and whenever any calculation under this Agreement requires adding Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Outstanding Swing Loans, such calculation shall be made without duplication. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.5, the Swing Loan Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan at a time when any other U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swing Loan Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.14(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein, except to the extent the Swing Loan Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender that are satisfactory to the Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. The funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in §10 and §11 have been satisfied on the date of such funding. The Swing Loan Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless Swing Loan Lender has received written notice from a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable within five (5) Business Days of the date such Swing Loan was provided and the Borrower hereby agrees (to the extent not repaid as contemplated by §2.5(d) below) to repay each Swing Loan on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days from the date such Swing Loan was provided.
(b) The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto (the “Swing Loan Note”), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions (except as provided in §2.11). The Swing Loan Note shall be payable to the order of the Swing Loan Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Loan Commitment and shall be payable as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Loan Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Swing Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record reflecting the making of such Swing Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Swing Loans set forth on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Swing Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Swing Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Swing Loan Note when due.
(c) The Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Loan Request executed by an Authorized Officer no later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the requested Drawdown Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan (which shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000.00) and providing the wire instructions for the delivery of the Swing Loan proceeds. The Loan Request shall also contain the statements and certifications required by §2.7(i) and (ii). Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept such Swing Loan on the Drawdown Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall bear interest at the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (ii) the Base Rate plus, in each case, the Revolving Credit Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be disbursed by wire by the Swing Loan Lender to the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time).
(d) The Swing Loan Lender shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, request each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender, including the Swing Loan Lender, to make a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1 in an amount equal to such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan outstanding on the date such notice is given. In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent in writing otherwise on or before noon (Cleveland Time) of the second (2nd) Business Day after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, Agent shall notify the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders that such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan shall be a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, provided that the making of such Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan will not be in contravention of any other provision of this Agreement, or if the making of a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan would be in contravention of this Agreement, then such notice shall indicate that such loan shall be a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees that any amount advanced to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender pursuant to this §2.5(d) shall be considered a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1. Unless any of the events described in paragraph (h), (i) or (j) of §12.1 shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of §2.5(e) shall apply), each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall make the proceeds of its U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan available to the Swing Loan Lender for the account of the Swing Loan Lender at the Agent’s Head Office prior to 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) in funds immediately available no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the date such notice is given just as if the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders were funding directly to the Borrower, so that thereafter such Obligations shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes (U.S. Dollar). The proceeds of such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Loans.
(e) If for any reason a Swing Loan cannot be refinanced by a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d), each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Swing Loan in an amount equal to its U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan. Each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Loan Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Loan Lender will deliver to such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender a Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.
(f) Whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest in a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Loan Lender will distribute to such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it.
(g) Each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan as provided in §2.5(d) or to purchase participation interests pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower or Guarantors may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower or Guarantors or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower, Guarantors or any Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any portions of a Swing Loan not so purchased or converted may be treated by the Agent and Swing Loan Lender as against such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender as a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan which was not funded by the non-purchasing U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender as contemplated by §2.8 and §12.5, and shall have such rights and remedies against such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender as are set forth in this Agreement. Each Swing Loan, once so sold or converted, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, but shall be a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan made by each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender under its U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment.
Swingline Advances (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Bank agrees to make Swingline Advances to AEP from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Advances exceeding $65,000,000 or (ii) the Outstanding Credits exceeding the Commitments; provided that the Swingline Bank shall not be required to make a Swingline Advance to refinance an outstanding Swingline Advance. Within the limits as hereinabove and hereinafter provided, AEP may request Swingline Advances hereunder, and repay or prepay Swingline Advances pursuant to Section 2.12 and utilize the resulting increase in the Available Commitments for further Swingline Advances in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Swingline Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance and shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000.
(b) To request a Swingline Advance, AEP shall notify the Swingline Bank of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy, with a copy to the Administrative Agent), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Advance. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Advance. The Swingline Bank shall make each Swingline Advance available to AEP by means of a credit to the general deposit account of AEP with the Swingline Bank by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Advance.
(c) The Swingline Bank may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Advances outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Advances in which the Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender's Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Advance or Advances. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Bank, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Advance or Advances. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Advances pursuant to this subsection is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this subsection by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(a) with respect to Advances made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify AEP of any participations in any Swingline Advance acquired pursuant to this subsection, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Advance shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Bank. Any amounts received by the Swingline Bank from AEP (or other party on behalf of AEP) in respect of a Swingline Advance after receipt by the Swingline Bank of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this subsection (to the extent of each applicable Lender’s participation) and to the Swingline Bank to the extent of its retained interest; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Bank or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to AEP for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Advance pursuant to this subsection shall not relieve AEP of any default in the payment thereof.
Swingline Loan Subfacility During the Availability Period for the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make certain revolving credit loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Revolving Credit Borrowers in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day provided that, (a) the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Committed Amount, (b) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Credit Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (c) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Line Cap, and (d) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Dollar Cap. Swingline Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan if any Credit Party shall have notified the Swingline Lender and the Revolving Credit Borrowers in writing at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Borrowing Date with respect to such Swingline Loan, that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied and such conditions remain unsatisfied as of the requested time of the making such Swingline Loan. Each Swingline Loan shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of (a) the Swingline Termination Date, or (b) such earlier maturity date as may be agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Revolving Credit Borrowers. Swingline Loans may only be Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings and may not be SOFR Borrowings.
Revolving Loan Commitment Each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment agrees to make loans on a revolving basis (“Revolving Loans”) from time to time until the Termination Date in such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such aggregate amounts as the Company may request from all Lenders; provided that the Revolving Outstandings will not at any time exceed Revolving Loan Availability.
Revolving Credit Loan The undersigned Borrower hereby requests a [Revolving Credit Loan under §2.1] [Swing Loan under §2.5] of the Credit Agreement: Principal Amount: $ Type (LIBOR Rate, Base Rate): Drawdown Date: Interest Period for LIBOR Rate Loans: by credit to the general account of the Borrower with the Agent at the Agent’s Head Office.
Swing Loans (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order to minimize the transfer of funds between Lenders and Agent for administrative convenience, Agent, Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and Swing Loan Lender agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender may, at its election and option made in its sole discretion cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loan advances (“Swing Loans”) available to Borrowers as provided for in this Section 2.4 at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the expiration of the Term, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount, provided that the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans and the Revolving Advances at any one time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Formula Amount. All Swing Loans shall be Domestic Rate Loans only. Borrowers may borrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender), repay and reborrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender) Swing Loans and Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans as provided in this Section 2.4 during the period between Settlement Dates. All Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note (the “Swing Loan Note”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(a). Swing Loan Lender’s agreement to make Swing Loans under this Agreement is cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever and the making of Swing Loans by Swing Loan Lender from time to time shall not create any duty or obligation, or establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swing Loan Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make Swing Loans in the future.
(b) Upon either (i) any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or (ii) the occurrence of any deemed request by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a), Swing Loan Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such request or deemed request treated as a request for a Swing Loan, and may advance same day funds to Borrowers as a Swing Loan; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, Swing Loan Lender may not make Swing Loans if Swing Loan Lender has been notified by Agent or by Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments have been terminated for any reason.
(c) Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swing Loan), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Swing Loan Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan in proportion to its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Swing Loan Lender or Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to fund such participations by means of a Settlement as provided for in Section 2.6(d) below. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Swing Loans purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Swing Loan; provided that no Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances in an amount in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount minus its Participation Commitment (taking into account any reallocations under Section 2.22) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.
