Issuance of Letters of Credit (a) The Borrower may at any time prior to the Letter of Credit Maturity Date request the issuance of a letter of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”), for its own account or the account of any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, or the amendment or extension of an existing Letter of Credit, by delivering or transmitting by facsimile or email (in “pdf,” “tif” or similar format), to an Issuing Lender selected by the Borrower (with a copy to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent) a completed application for letter of credit, or request for such amendment or extension, as applicable, signed by the Borrower (and, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, also signed by such Subsidiary) and otherwise in such form as such Issuing Lender may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Borrower shall authorize and direct each Issuing Lender to name the Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit and, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, to name such Subsidiary as the “Co-Applicant” of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after receipt of any letter of credit application, such Issuing Lender shall confirm with the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will provide the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Letters of Credit may be issued in the form of a Standby Letter of Credit or a Commercial Letter of Credit; provided that the Specified Issuing Lenders shall not be required to issue any Commercial Letter of Credit. Letters of Credit shall be issued only in U.S. Dollars. For the avoidance of doubt, the Loan Parties acknowledge that each Letter of Credit issued for the account of Persons other than the Loan Parties shall constitute an Investment and Guaranty in an amount equal to the face amount of such Letter of Credit, without duplication, and shall be subject to the limitations set forth herein.
Payment of Amounts Drawn Under Letters of Credit In the event of any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which such Issuing Bank intends to honor such drawing, and the Applicable Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank on the day on which such drawing is honored in an amount in same day funds equal to the amount of and in the same currency as such drawing; provided that, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless the Applicable Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank prior to Noon (New York time) on the Business Day of the date of such drawing that the Applicable Borrower intends to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting the Banks having Revolving Loan Commitments to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Business Day following the date on which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing, and (ii) the Banks shall, on the date of such drawing, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing; and further provided that if, for any reason, proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by such Issuing Bank on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to reimbursement in accordance with Section 1.04, on the Business Day (which shall be a business day under the laws of the jurisdiction of such Issuing Bank) immediately following the date of such drawing, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such drawing over the amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, that are so received, plus accrued interest on such amount at the rate set forth in Section 1.13(f)(1)(i).
Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.
