Revolving Credit Facility (a) The Revolving Credit Lenders grant to the Borrower a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to which, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth:
(i) each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Ratable Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2;
(ii) each Revolving Credit Lender may, in its sole discretion, make bids to make Competitive Bid Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3; and
(iii) the Swing Line Lender agrees to make Swing Line Advances to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19.
(b) The Revolving Credit Facility shall be subject to the following limitations:
(i) In no event shall the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances (including Revolving Credit Ratable Advances, Competitive Bid Advances and Swing Line Advances) plus (ii) the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.
(ii) In no event shall the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Competitive Bid Advances exceed the Competitive Bid Sublimit.
(iii) In no event shall the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Swing Line Advances exceed the Swing Line Commitment.
(c) Subject to the terms hereof, the Revolving Credit Facility is available from the date hereof to the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date and, upon the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, the Revolving Credit Commitments to lend hereunder shall expire. The Revolving Credit Commitment of a Revolving Credit Declining Lender shall expire on its Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date unless prior thereto such Revolving Credit Declining Lender elects, with the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to extend its Revolving Credit Commitment to the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, which election and approval shall be evidenced by a written instrument in a form reasonably acceptable to and executed by such Revolving Credit Declining Lender, the Borrower, the Company and the Administrative Agent. Upon the execution and delivery of such written instrument, such Revolving Credit Lender shall cease to be a Revolving Credit Declining Lender.
(d) Any outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and all other unpaid Revolving Credit Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date (except to the extent that, pursuant to Article IV, Facility Letters of Credit are permitted to have an expiration date later than the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date). All outstanding Revolving Credit Loans held by, and all other unpaid Revolving Credit Obligations payable to, a Revolving Credit Declining Lender shall be paid in full by the Borrower on its Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date.
Credit Facility (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date:
(i) Borrower may request Advances in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Commitment and the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, the “Borrowing Limit”); and
(ii) upon receipt of a copy of each Borrowing Notice, (A) each Unaffiliated Committed Lender severally agrees to fund a Loan in an amount equal to its Percentage of the requested Advance specified in such Borrowing Notice, and (B) each Co-Agent belonging to a Conduit Group shall determine whether its Conduit, if any, will fund a Loan in an amount equal to its Conduit Group’s Percentage of the requested Advance specified in such Borrowing Notice. In the event that a Co-Agent elects not to have its Conduit make any such Loan to Borrower, the applicable Co-Agent shall promptly notify the Funding Agent (who shall promptly notify the Borrower) and, unless Borrower cancels its Borrowing Notice as to all Lenders, (1) each Unaffiliated Committed Lender severally agrees to fund a Loan in an amount equal to its Percentage of the requested Advance, (2) each of such Conduit’s Committed Lenders severally agrees to fund a Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of its Conduit Group’s Percentage of such Loan and (3) each other Conduit shall fund a Loan in an amount equal to its Percentage of the required Advance, provided that (x) at no time may the aggregate principal amount of any Conduit Group’s Loans outstanding, exceed the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of such Conduit’s Committed Lenders’ Commitments, and (y) such Conduit Group’s Percentage of the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, such Conduit Group’s “Allocation Limit”), and (y) at no time may the aggregate principal amount of any Unaffiliated Committed Lender’s Loans outstanding exceed the lesser of (x) such Unaffiliated Committed Lender’s Commitment and (y) its Percentage of the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, such Unaffiliated Committed Lender’s “Allocation Limit”). Each Advance shall be made ratably amongst the Conduit Groups and the Unaffiliated Committed Lenders, collectively, in accordance with their respective Percentages. Each of the Advances, and all other Obligations of Borrower, shall be secured by the Collateral as provided in Article XIII. Subject to Sections 1.6(d) and (e), it is the intent of the Conduits, but not the Committed Lenders, to fund all Advances by the issuance of Commercial Paper. Borrower shall not make a request for more than six (6) Advances during any calendar month, and no more than six (6) Advances shall occur, during any calendar month. No more than two (2) Advances shall occur, during any calendar week.
(b) Borrower may, upon at least 10 Business Days’ notice to the Funding Agent (who shall promptly provide such notice to the Co-Agents), terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Committed Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments, the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment; provided that each partial reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $20,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof) and shall reduce the Commitments of the Committed Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments.
The Revolving Credit Facility On the terms and conditions set forth in the MLA and this Supplement, CoBank agrees to make loans to the Company during the period set forth below in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at any one time outstanding, the lesser of $25,000,000.00 (the “Commitment”), or the “Borrowing Base” (as calculated pursuant to the Borrowing Base Report attached hereto as Exhibit A). Within the limits of the Commitment, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow.
Termination of Revolving Credit Facility The Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
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.
Term Loan Facility (i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Term Lender agrees to make available, from time to time, from the Closing Date until October 15, 1999 (the "Commencement Date"), for Borrower's use and upon the request of Borrower therefor to Agent, term loans in minimum $10,000,000 increments (each a "Term Loan Advance"; collectively, the "Term Loan").

Each LIBO Rate Loan shall be in a minimum amount of at least $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

Such commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September, and December in each year (commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof) and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the commitment fee for the period to the date of such termination in whole shall be paid on the date of such termination.

Revolving Credit Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other provisions of this Note, Maker may borrow, repay and reborrow against this Note at any time unless and until a Default or Event of Default has occurred which the Payee has not declared to have been fully cured or waived, and (except as the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents may otherwise provide) there is no limit on the number of advances against this Note so long as the total unpaid principal of this Note at any time outstanding does not exceed the Payee's Lender Commitment. Interest on the amount of each advance against this Note shall be computed on the amount of the unpaid balance of that advance from the date it is made until the date it is repaid. If Maker's right (if any) to borrow against this Note shall ever lapse because of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, it shall not be reinstated (or construed from any course of conduct or otherwise to have been reinstated) unless and until the Payee shall declare in a signed writing that it has been cured or waived. The unpaid principal balance of this Note at any time shall be the total of all principal lent against this Note to Maker or for Maker's account less the sum of all principal payments and permitted prepayments on this Note received by the Payee. Absent manifest error, the Payee's computer records shall on any day conclusively evidence the unpaid balance of this Note and its advances and payments history posted up to that day. All loans and advances and all payments and permitted prepayments made on this Note may be (but are not required to be) endorsed by the Payee on the schedule attached hereto (which is hereby made a part hereof for all purposes) or otherwise recorded in the Payee's computer or manual records; provided, that the Payee's failure to make notation of (a) any principal advance or accrual of interest shall not cancel, limit or otherwise affect Maker's obligations or the Payee's rights with respect to that advance or accrual, or (b) any payment or permitted prepayment of principal or interest shall not cancel, limit or otherwise affect Maker's entitlement to credit for that payment as of the date of its receipt by the Payee.
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.
