Letter of Credit The Borrower further agrees with the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's Reimbursement Obligations under Section 4.2 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or other party to which any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee, PROVIDED that the Borrower shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's Reimbursement Obligations shall not include, amounts or liabilities arising solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents, if done in good faith, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not result in any liability on the part of the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the Borrower.
Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings (a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time plus 2%, with such interest to be payable on demand. Each Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.
(b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
Standby Duty (a) An employee shall be on standby duty when required to be available for work outside their normal working hours, and subject to restrictions consistent with the FLSA which would prevent the employee from using the time while on standby duty effectively for the employee’s own purposes.
(b) Compensation for standby duty shall be at FLSA-eligible employee’s straight time rate of pay or for FLSA-exempt employees hour for hour compensatory time off. Overtime hours shall be at the appropriate overtime pay rate pursuant to Article 32.
Conflict with Letter of Credit Application In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.
Standby Letters of Credit The Administrative Agent, under the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on behalf of itself and each other Bank in the same proportions as each Bank's Revolving Loan Commitment bears to the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, shall provide Standby Letters of Credit to the Borrowers, from time to time prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date, as requested by the Borrowers, provided that (i) the aggregate amount of Standby Letters of Credit outstanding at any one time shall not exceed $3,000,000 or such lesser amount, if any, as will, when added to the amount of the Revolving Loans then outstanding, aggregate more than the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (or such lesser amount as the Borrowers are entitled to borrow hereunder at such time by reason of the limitation of the Borrowing Base or otherwise); (ii) no Standby Letter of Credit shall be for a term longer than one year; and (iii) no Standby Letters of Credit shall be required to be issued when any Event of Default or Potential Default exists. The Borrowers shall request a Standby Letter of Credit by delivering a completed letter of credit application to the Administrative Agent on such form as may be specified by the Administrative Agent not less than three Business Days prior to the date specified by the Borrowers as the date the Standby Letter of Credit is to be issued. The standard form of the Administrative Agent's letter of credit application as currently in effect shall be used. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks promptly after the issuance of any Standby Letter of Credit and will provide the Banks copies of the periodic Borrowing Base Certificates showing the current balance of outstanding Standby Letters of Credit, as delivered by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent. Standby Letters of Credit fees will be equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Loans on an annual basis, calculated on the basis of the days actually elapsed in a year of 360 days (paid to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Banks) plus a Fronting Fee of 0.125% per year to be paid to the Fronting Bank for its own account. Such Fees will be calculated based on the aggregate stated amount for each Letter of Credit, and will be due quarterly in arrears, commencing on the last Business Day of the calendar quarter in which the Standby Letter of Credit is issued. If any obligation of the Borrowers to pay money in connection with any Standby Letter of Credit is not met when requested by the Administrative Agent as permitted by the applicable letter of credit application and the reimbursement agreement contained therein, the amount due shall be funded automatically by a Revolving Loan which Loan shall be made without regard to any minimum borrowing requirement, condition precedent herein, or Event of Default hereunder which would otherwise entitle any Bank or the Banks not to provide such Revolving Loan, and each Bank shall make its proportionate share of such Revolving Loan. Any obligation of the Borrowers to pay money in connection with any Standby Letter of Credit or the application therefor shall be deemed secured as if made as a Loan hereunder. In the event the Borrowers shall terminate the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment as provided in Section and shall pay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans in full and with interest or the Revolving Loan Termination Date shall occur at a time when one or more Standby Letters of Credit remain outstanding, then the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent within two Business Days such amount of cash, to be held as cash collateral and invested in certificates of deposit of the Administrative Agent with interest payable to the Borrowers, as will pay the maximum amount which may be drawn by beneficiaries of Standby Letters of Credit outstanding at the date of such termination or the Revolving Loan Termination Date, as applicable.
