Designation of Lead Borrower as Borrowers’ Agent (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to obtain Credit Extensions, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to each Credit Party on account of Credit Extensions so made as if made directly by the applicable Credit Party to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Credit Extensions are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Borrower. In addition, each Loan Party other than the Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Loan Party’s agent to represent such Loan Party in all respects under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Additional Borrowers Other investment companies (or series of investment companies), in addition to those Borrowers which are original signatories to this Agreement, may, with the written approval of all the Banks, become parties to this Agreement and be deemed Tranche A Borrowers for all purposes of this Agreement by executing an instrument substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (with such changes therein may be approved by the Banks), which instrument shall (i) have attached to it a copy of this Agreement (as the same may have been amended) with a revised Allocation Notice reflecting the participation of such additional investment company and (ii) be accompanied by the documents and instruments required to be delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, including, without limitation, an opinion of counsel for such Borrower, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel; provided, that the joinder of any additional Borrower shall be effective no earlier than five (5) Business Days following receipt by the Banks of such documents and information requested by the Administrative Agent or any Bank that are reasonably required in order to comply with “know-your-customer” and other anti-terrorism, anti-money laundering and similar rules and regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act; and provided, further, that no such additional Borrower shall be added unless each of the Banks consent, except that (A) to the extent an existing Borrower converts to a “master/feeder” structure, no consent shall be required for the master trust in such structure to become a Borrower hereunder after such conversion, provided the converting Borrower ceases to be a Borrower hereunder on or prior to such conversion and provided that such master trust is formed under the laws of a State in the United States and (B) to the extent that an existing Borrower which is a “master trust” is merged into (or transfers all or substantially all of its assets and liabilities to) its feeder fund (the “Former Feeder Fund”), no consent shall be required for such Former Feeder Fund to become a Borrower if in connection with such merger or transfer such Former Feeder Fund shall hold all or substantially all the assets and liabilities of the prior master trust, such Former Feeder Fund is formed under the laws of a State in the United States and, prior to such merger or transfer, such Former Feeder Fund shall have no Debt. Additional Borrowers may be added to this Agreement only once per each calendar quarter. Each new Borrower added to the Credit Facility after the addition of five (5) new Borrowers shall pay a new Borrower’s fee in the amount of $1,500 to the Administrative Agent, provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, waive the requirement to pay such fee. To the extent that the Banks deem that the Permitted Asset Coverage Ratio is insufficient with respect to any Additional Borrower, the Joinder in which such Additional Borrower becomes a Borrower may, with the agreement of such Additional Borrower and each Bank, contain language amending this Agreement to provide for a different Permitted Asset Coverage Ratio with respect to such Additional Borrower.
Borrower The term “Borrower” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, association, partnership (general or limited), limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of Borrower or any interest in Borrower.
Notice of Swingline Loans by the Borrower To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and each Swingline Lender of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic communication) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of such proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the Swingline Lender from which such Swingline Loan shall be made, the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Swingline Loan (which (x) in the case of any Swingline Lender that is a Dollar Lender, shall be made under the Dollar Commitments and (y) in the case of any Swingline Lender that is a Multicurrency Lender, shall be made under the Multicurrency Commitments). The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the applicable Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. Each Swingline Lender shall make each applicable Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the Borrower’s account specified in Section 2.03(b)(vii) (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
Representations of the Borrower The Borrower represents and warrants that:
Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan as provided for in this Section or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, the Issuing Lender on each date on which the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Unless the Borrower shall immediately notify the Issuing Lender that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Lender for such drawing from other sources or funds, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Revolving Credit Lenders make a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate on such date in the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall make a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with this Section to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or Article VI. If the Borrower has elected to pay the amount of such drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender as provided above, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate Loans which were then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full.
