Related to The Merger Advance Note
Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit Advances The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.11(a), Convert all Revolving Credit Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Revolving Credit Advances of the other Type (it being understood that such Conversion of a Revolving Credit Advance or of its Interest Period does not constitute a repayment or prepayment of such Revolving Credit Advance); provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b) and no Conversion of any Revolving Credit Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, and shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Revolving Credit Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Eurodollar Rate Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
Revolving Note The Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit K (each a “Revolving Note”), payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.
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.
Term Loan (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make an advance of its Pro Rata Term Share of the Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date, and from the Closing Date to the Term Loan Maturity Date, convert and continue Segments from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof. The principal amount of each Segment of the Term Loan outstanding hereunder from time to time shall bear interest and the Term Loan shall be repayable as herein provided. No amount of the Term Loan repaid or prepaid by the Borrower may be reborrowed hereunder, and no subsequent advance under the Term Loan Facility shall be allowed after the initial such advance of the Term Loan on the Closing Date. Segments of the Term Loan may be Base Rate Segments or Eurodollar Rate Segments at the Borrower’s election, as provided herein. (b) Not later than 1:00 P.M. New York time, on the Closing Date, each Term Loan Lender shall, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, make the amount of its Pro Rata Term Share of the Term Loan available by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent. Such wire transfer shall be directed to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and shall be in the form of same day funds in Dollars. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the satisfaction of all applicable conditions in Sections 5.01 and 5.02, be made available to the Borrower by delivery of the proceeds thereof as shall be directed by the Responsible Officer of the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The initial Borrowing of the Term Loan may be a Eurodollar Rate Segment, a Base Rate Segment, or both; provided that if the Borrower desires that any portion of the initial Borrowing of the Term Loan is advanced as a Eurodollar Rate Segment, the Administrative Agent shall make such Borrowing as a Eurodollar Rate Segment only if, not later than three Business Days prior to the date that is then anticipated to be the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent has received from the Borrower a Term Loan Interest Rate Selection Notice with respect thereto, together with the Borrower’s written acknowledgement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the provisions of Section 4.05 hereof shall apply to any failure by the Borrower to borrow on the date set forth in such Term Loan Interest Rate Selection notice any or all of the amounts specified in such Term Loan Interest Rate Selection Notice.
New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
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.
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 Loan Commitments (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender, severally and not jointly, shall (i) make Revolving Loans (other than Revolving LC Loans) to the Borrower during the Revolving Loan Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of such Revolving Lender’s Available Revolving Loan Commitment and (ii) participate in the issuance of any Revolving LCs (and any drawings of the Revolving LC Available Amounts thereunder) from time to time during the Revolving Loan Availability Period in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not in excess of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. (b) After giving effect to the making of any Revolving Loans (other than Revolving LC Loans), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall not exceed the Available Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment at such time. (c) Each Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be in an amount specified in a Borrowing Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.7. (d) Proceeds of the Revolving Loans (other than Revolving LC Loans which shall be used to repay the Revolving LC Issuing Bank for Revolving LC Disbursements) shall be used solely for (i) the payment of transaction fees and expenses, (ii) payment of gas purchase, hedging, transportation, balancing and storage costs and expenses (including to meet credit support requirements under gas purchase, hedging, transportation, balancing or storage agreements), (iii) to provide credit support as may be required from time to time under Project-related agreements on behalf of the Borrower or the RG Facility Entities, (iv) to fund in cash or to issue Revolving LCs to satisfy the DSRA Reserve Amount in respect of any Senior Secured Debt Instrument, and (v) other working capital and other general corporate purposes. (e) Revolving Loans repaid or prepaid may be re-borrowed at any time and from time to time until the expiration of the Revolving Loan Availability Period.
Revolving Loan Notes The Revolving Loans made by the Lenders to a Borrower shall be evidenced, upon request by any Lender, by a promissory note of such Borrower payable to each Lender in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.7(a) hereto (the “Revolving Loan Notes”) and in a principal amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Loan Commitment as originally in effect.
Bridge Loan (a) If the Bridge Loan (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) has not been repaid in full on or prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “Repayment Option Date”), then, on the Repayment Option Date (or the first Business Day thereafter to the extent the Repayment Option Date does not fall on a Business Day), and not thereafter, Dynegy may, or may cause any of its Controlled Affiliates to, contribute to the Company an amount up to the Option Bridge Loan Amount, in exchange for Units at the price per Unit as of the date of this Agreement (such transaction, the “Dynegy Repayment Option”), and the Company shall use the proceeds from such contribution to partially repay the Bridge Loan. (b) If the Bridge Loan (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) has not been repaid in full and Dynegy does not exercise the Dynegy Repayment Option in full on the Repayment Option Date (or the first Business Day thereafter to the extent the Repayment Option Date does not fall on a Business Day), at any time after the Repayment Option Date, ECP may, or may cause the lender under the Bridge Loan to, convert all or any portion of the then Outstanding Bridge Loan Amount (all or such portion thereof, the “Conversion Amount”) into the number of Units equal to the quotient of (i) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount, multiplied by (B) the Conversion Multiple, divided by (ii) the price per Unit as of the date of this Agreement, and such Conversion Amount shall be deemed repaid in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Loan Agreement. (c) If Dynegy exercises the Dynegy Repayment Option in full, on the Repayment Option Date, ECP shall, or shall cause the lender under the Bridge Loan to, convert the remaining Outstanding Bridge Loan Amount into Units at the price per Unit as of the date of this Agreement, and such converted amount shall be deemed repaid in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Loan Agreement. (d) None of the terms or procedures set forth in Section 4.02 shall apply to this Section 4.11. The Board shall take all necessary action to effectuate the provisions of this Section 4.11, including authorizing and issuing the Units in respect of any Conversion Amount or in respect of a conversion pursuant to Section 4.11(a) or Section 4.11(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.06(c), no vote of the Board shall be required to effectuate the issuance of any Units pursuant to this Section 4.11.
