L/C Commitment (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).
(b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or (ii) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.
Term Commitments Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Term Commitment of such Lender. The Term Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.12.
Loan Commitments (i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make, on the Closing Date, an Initial Term Loan to Company in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Initial Term Loan Commitment. Company may make only one borrowing under the Initial Term Loan Commitment which shall be on the Closing Date. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.1(a)(i) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to Sections 2.13(a) and 2.14, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Initial Term Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Term Loan Maturity Date. Each Lender’s Initial Term Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender’s Initial Term Loan Commitment on such date.
(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make, at any time during the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Period, Delayed Draw Term Loans to Company in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment. Each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the remaining Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment). Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.1(a)(ii) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to Sections 2.13(a) and 2.14, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Term Loan Maturity Date. Each Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment shall (A) immediately and without further action reduce on each Credit Date by the amount of Delayed Draw Term Loans made by such Lender on such Credit Date and (B) terminate immediately and without further action on the earlier of the date on which the maximum permitted amount of Delayed Draw Term Loans are funded or the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date.
Term Loan Commitments Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in such principal amount as the Borrower shall request up to, but not exceeding such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.
Revolving Commitments (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Commitment Period, at such times as the Borrower may request in accordance with Section 2.2, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that (i) no Revolving Loan shall be made to the extent the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans would exceed the Total Commitments, (ii) no Borrowing Base A Loans shall be made to the extent that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Borrowing Base A Loans would exceed the aggregate Loan Value of the Pledged Eligible Assets (including the Pledged Eligible Assets referred to in Section 2.2(a)(ii) with respect to such Revolving Loan) and (iii) no Borrowing Base B Loans shall be made to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Borrowing Base B Loans would exceed the Borrowing Base B Limit; provided further that Borrowing Base B Loans may not be borrowed on any date in any rolling period of 90 consecutive days if Borrowing Base B Loans have already been outstanding for 30 days during such period. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may borrow, prepay the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrow, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Termination Date.
(c) The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Revolving Loans as required.
Revolving Credit Commitments (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a loan or loans (individually a “Revolving Loan” and collectively for all the Lenders the “Revolving Loans”) in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower from time to time on a revolving basis up to the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, subject to any reductions thereof pursuant to the terms hereof, before the Revolving Credit Termination Date. The sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations at any time outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders in effect at such time and (ii) the Borrowing Base as then determined and computed. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver Percentages. As of the Closing Date immediately prior to the initial Borrowing of Revolving Loans under this Agreement, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans advanced under the Prior Credit Agreement is $148,100,000, which outstanding Revolving Loans advanced under the Prior Credit Agreement shall continue as outstanding Revolving Loans under this Agreement. As provided in Section 1.6(a) hereof, the Borrower may elect that each Borrowing of Revolving Loans be either Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. Revolving Loans may be repaid and the principal amount thereof reborrowed before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
Tranche B Loans (a) Upon the terms and conditions and relying on the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Tranche B Lender severally agrees to make Loans (each a "Tranche B Loan") during the Tranche B Commitment Period on a revolving basis to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, or any combination of them, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the lesser of the Tranche B Facility Amount of such Tranche B Lender or the Percentage Share of such Tranche B Lender of the Tranche B Borrowing Base then in effect (for each Tranche B Lender, its "Tranche B Commitment"); provided, however, that Tranche B Obligations shall not exceed at any time the lesser of (y) the Tranche B Commitment Amount or (z) the difference between the Tranche B Borrowing Base then in effect minus the Borrowing Base then in effect. Tranche B Loans shall be made from time to time on any Business Day designated by the Borrowers in a Tranche B Borrowing Request but only to the extent such Tranche B Loan requested exceeds the Available Tranche A Commitment at such time.
(b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the Tranche B Commitment Period, the Borrowers may borrow, repay, and reborrow and convert Tranche B Loans of one type or with one Interest Period into Tranche B Loans of another type or with a different Interest Period. Except for prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.13, each borrowing, conversion, and prepayment of principal, in the case of Base Rate Loans, shall be in an amount at least equal to $100,000 and in multiples of $100,000 thereafter and, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, shall be in an amount at least equal to $1,000,000 and in multiples of $100,000 thereafter. Each borrowing, prepayment, or conversion of or into a Tranche B Loan of a different type or, in the case of a LIBO Rate Tranche B Loan, having a different Interest Period, shall be deemed a separate borrowing, conversion, and prepayment for purposes of the foregoing, one for each type of Tranche B Loan or Interest Period. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate principal amount of LIBO Rate Tranche B Loans having the same Interest Period shall be at least equal to $1,000,000; and if any LIBO Rate Loan would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period, such Tranche B Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan during such period.
(c) Not later than noon, Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time, as the case may be, on the date specified for each borrowing of a Tranche B Loan, each Tranche B Lender shall make available to the Agent an amount equal to the Percentage Share of such Tranche B Lender of the borrowing to be made on such date, at an account designated by the Agent, for the account of the Borrower. The amount so received by the Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be made available to the Borrowers in immediately available funds by no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time, as the case may be, in an account designated from time to time by the Borrowers. All Tranche B Loans by each Tranche B Lender shall be maintained at the Applicable Lending Office of such Lender and shall be evidenced by the Tranche B Note of such Lender.
(d) The failure of any Tranche B Lender to make any Tranche B Loan required to be made by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Tranche B Lender of its obligation to make any Tranche B Loan required to be made by it, and no Tranche B Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Tranche B Lender to make any Tranche B Loan.
(e) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon three (3) Business Days' prior and irrevocable written notice to the Agent, to terminate or reduce the Tranche B Commitments without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, any partial termination to be (i) in an amount not less than $1,000,000 as determined by the Borrowers and in integral multiples of $1,000,000, and (ii) allocated (A) either ratably among the Tranche B Lenders in proportion to their respective Tranche B Commitments; or (B) in the case of a termination of the Tranche B Commitment of a dissenting Tranche B Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(h), allocated solely to such Tranche B Lender; provided, that the Tranche B Commitment Amounts may not be reduced to an amount less than the Tranche B Loan Balance. The Agent shall give prompt notice to each Tranche B Lender of any termination or reduction of the Tranche B Commitments. Any termination of the Tranche B Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.3(e) is permanent and may not be revoked.
Increase in Revolving Commitments (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request that the total Revolving Commitment be increased by an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Revolving Facility Amount at such time. Upon the receipt of such request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to each Revolving Lender. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase (which shall be in minimum increments of $500,000 and a minimum amount of $2,500,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Revolving Facility Amount) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and which, in any event, must be prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), and shall offer each Revolving Lender the opportunity to increase its Revolving Commitment by its Pro Rata Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Revolving Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 10 days after the date of the Administrative Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Revolving Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each Revolving Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Revolving Lender”) or decline to increase its Revolving Commitment (and any Revolving Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment) (each Revolving Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a Non-Increasing Revolving Lender”). In the event that, on the 10th day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph, the Increasing Revolving Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase requested by the Borrower, such Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity being called an “Augmenting Revolving Lender”), which may include any Lender, to extend Revolving Commitments or increase their existing Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided, however, that each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Borrower and each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Commitment and/or its status as a Revolving Lender hereunder, Any such increase may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by the Borrower if such Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Revolving Lenders.
(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that after giving effect to any increase pursuant to this Section 2.25, the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their new Pro Rata Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Borrower, (i) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Borrowing, (ii) by causing Non-Increasing Revolving Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans to Increasing Revolving Lenders and/or Augmenting Revolving Lenders, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment or assignment described in this paragraph (b) shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Commitments shall become effective under this Section 2.25 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied (treating the effectiveness of the increase in the Revolving Commitments as a “Credit Event” for such purposes) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, and (ii) if requested, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02.
Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments (i) Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default and subject to the conditions set forth under clause (v) below, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (A) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (1) the Aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts after adjustments resulting from reductions thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(d) and (2) the then effective Borrowing Base, and (B) such increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. At the time of sending such notice, Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).
(ii) Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Percentage Share of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.
(iii) The Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of the Lenders’ responses to the request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower may also invite additional Persons to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
(iv) If the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (such date, the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) notify Borrower of the final allocation of such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Increase Effective Date, and (ii) notify each Lender of its Revolving Credit Commitment as of the Increase Effective Date.
(v) As a condition precedent to such increase, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Obligor dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Obligor (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Obligor approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article VII and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.03(b), the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.02 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 8.01, (B) no Default or Event of Default exists, and (C) no Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred. To the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Percentage Shares of the Lenders arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section, Borrower shall prepay Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date and/or Lenders shall make assignments pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (provided, that in each case, Borrower shall pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.05).
(vi) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 4.05 or 12.04 to the contrary.
Term Loan Commitment As to each Term Loan Lender, the amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans from time to time outstanding to the Borrower.
