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.
Revolving Committed Amount If at any time after the Closing Date, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans plus outstanding Swingline Loans plus outstanding LOC Obligations shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and (after all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have been repaid) Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vii) below).
STAFF COMMITMENT If this Settlement Agreement is accepted by the Hearing Panel, Staff will not initiate any proceeding under the By-laws of the MFDA against the Respondent in respect of the facts set out in Part IV and the contraventions described in Part V of this Settlement Agreement, subject to the provisions of Part IX below. Nothing in this Settlement Agreement precludes Staff from investigating or initiating proceedings in respect of any facts and contraventions that are not set out in Parts IV and V of this Settlement Agreement or in respect of conduct that occurred outside the specified date ranges of the facts and contraventions set out in Parts IV and V, whether known or unknown at the time of settlement. Furthermore, nothing in this Settlement Agreement shall relieve the Respondent from fulfilling any continuing regulatory obligations.
Revolving Commitment Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make available to the Borrower such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of revolving credit loans requested by the Borrower in Dollars ("REVOLVING LOANS") from time to time from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, or such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments shall have been terminated as provided herein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans shall not exceed ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000) (as such aggregate maximum amount may be reduced from time to time as provided in Section 3.4, the "REVOLVING COMMITTED AMOUNT"); PROVIDED, FURTHER, (A) with regard to each Lender individually, such Lender's outstanding Revolving Loans shall not exceed such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount, and (B) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans PLUS LOC Obligations PLUS Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. The initial advance of the Revolving Loans on the Closing Date shall consist solely of Base Rate Loans. Thereafter, Revolving Loans may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no more than 15 Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time (it being understood that, for purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they begin on the same date, although borrowings, extensions and conversions may, in accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a single Interest Period). Revolving Loans hereunder may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Total Commitment The sum of the Commitments of the Banks, as in effect from time to time.
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.
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.
Revolving Credit Commitment Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lender agrees to extend a Revolving Credit to each Borrower which may be availed of by each Borrower from time to time during the period from and including the date hereof to but not including the Termination Date (the “Commitment Period”), at which time the commitment of the Lender to extend credit under the Revolving Credit shall expire. The maximum amount of the Revolving Credit which the Lender agrees to extend to the Borrowers shall be the Lender’s Commitment as then in effect. The Revolving Credit may be utilized by the Borrowers in the form of Loans, all as more fully hereinafter set forth, provided that, the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the Commitment and the maximum aggregate amount of all Loans made to any Borrower at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Commitment, and (b) such Borrower’s Borrowing Limit. During the Commitment Period, each Borrower may utilize the Revolving Credit by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing Loans in whole or in part, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Loans shall be made available to the Borrowers on a first come, first served basis, provided, that, if the amount of Loans which some or all Borrowers would otherwise request on the same Business Day would exceed the Available Commitment, the Available Commitment will be apportioned among the Borrowers in accordance with resolutions adopted by the boards of directors of the Borrowers and the results of such apportionment will be reported in writing to the Lender by the Adviser.
The Commitment Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make term loans to Borrower from time to time from the Closing Date and to, but not including, the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the Commitment. The Commitment is not a revolving credit commitment, and Borrower does not have the right to repay and reborrow hereunder. Each Loan requested by Borrower to be made on a single Business Day shall be for a minimum principal amount set forth in the Supplement, except to the extent the remaining Commitment is a lesser amount.
Commitment Increases (a) At any time after the Closing Date, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may request an increase of the aggregate Commitments by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount (the "Offered Increase Amount") of such proposed increase (such notice, a "Commitment Increase Notice"), provided that the first such increase shall be in an amount equal to at least $93,750,000 and the second such increase shall be in an amount equal to $187,500,000 less the amount of the first such increase. Any such Commitment Increase Notice must offer each Lender the opportunity to subscribe for its pro rata share of the increased Commitments. If any portion of the increased Commitments is not subscribed for by the Lenders, the Company may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent as to any Person that is not at such time a Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), offer to any existing Lender or to one or more additional banks or financial institutions the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of such unsubscribed portion of the increased Commitments pursuant to paragraph (b) below.
(b) Any additional bank or financial institution that the Company selects to offer participation in the increased Commitments, and that elects to become a party to this Agreement and obtain a Commitment shall execute a New Lender Supplement with the Company and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit N (a "New Lender Supplement"), whereupon such bank or financial institution (a "New Lender") shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and Schedule I shall be deemed to be amended to add the name and Commitment of such New Lender, provided that the Commitment of any such New Lender shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000.
(c) Any Lender that accepts an offer to it by the Company to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement 44 40 with the Company and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit O (a "Commitment Increase Supplement"), whereupon such Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased, and Schedule I shall be deemed to be amended to so increase the Commitment of such Lender.
(d) The effectiveness of any New Lender Supplement or Commitment Increase Supplement shall be contingent upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such corporate resolutions of the Borrowers and legal opinions of counsel to the Borrowers as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request with respect thereto, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) If any bank or financial institution becomes a New Lender pursuant to Section 2.24(b) or any Lender's Commitment is increased pursuant to Section 2.24(c), additional Revolving Credit Advances made on or after the effectiveness thereof (the "Re-Allocation Date") shall be made pro rata based on the Commitment Percentages in effect on and after such Re-Allocation Date (except to the extent that any such pro rata borrowings would result in any Lender making an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances in excess of its Commitment, in which case such excess amount will be allocated to, and made by, such new Lender and/or Lenders with such increased Commitments to the extent of, and pro rata based on, their respective Commitments), and continuations of Eurodollar Rate Advances outstanding on such Re-Allocation Date shall be effected by repayment of such Eurodollar Rate Advances on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and the making of new Eurodollar Rate Advances pro rata based on such new Commitment Percentages. In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Base Rate Advances, the Borrower shall make prepayments thereof and borrowings of Base Rate Advances so that, after giving effect thereto, the Base Rate Advances outstanding are held pro rata based on such new Commitment Percentages. In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances, such Eurodollar Rate Advances shall remain outstanding with the respective holders thereof until the expiration of their respective Interest Periods (unless the applicable Borrower elects to prepay any thereof in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement), and interest on and repayments of such Eurodollar Rate Advances will be paid thereon to the respective Lenders holding such Eurodollar Rate Advances pro rata based on the respective principal amounts thereof outstanding.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.24, (i) in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this Section 2.24 cause the aggregate Commitments to exceed $937,500,000, (ii) no increase pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall be effective without the consent of the Required Lenders and (iii) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. 45 41
(g) The Borrowers, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Notes of any Lender, if any, new Notes to the order of such Lender, if requested, in an amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender after giving effect to any increase in such Lender's Commitment.
