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.
The Commitments (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make on and after the first Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the Commitment Termination Date and at the times specified in Section 2.02 term loans to the Borrower (each a “Loan” and collectively the “Loans”), which Loans (i) shall bear interest in accordance with Section 2.06, (ii) shall be denominated and repayable in Dollars, (iii) shall be disbursed on any Borrowing Date, (iv) disbursed on any Borrowing Date shall not exceed on such Borrowing Date for all Lenders the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum available amount for such Borrowing Date as set forth in Section 2.02, (v) disbursed on any Borrowing Date shall not exceed for any Lender the Dollar Equivalent of the Commitment of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, (vi) disbursed on any Borrowing Date shall not exceed the Dollar Availability on any such Borrowing Date and (vii) shall not in the aggregate exceed the Dollar Maximum Amount.
(b) Loans disbursed to indirectly fund installments and delivery payments to the Yard in respect of (x) Vessel 1 together with 50% of the Loans disbursed to fund payments of the Hermes Premium hereunder shall be herein referred to as “Tranche A Loans” and (y) Vessel 2 together with 50% of the Loans disbursed to fund payments of the Hermes Premium hereunder shall be herein referred to as “Tranche B Loans”.
Revolving Commitment Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrowers from time to time from the Effective Date until the Termination Date, or such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments shall have been terminated as provided herein for the purposes hereinafter set forth (provided, that, all Revolving Loans made prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall be made to Speedway Funding); provided, however, that (x) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans at any time shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount and (y) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans on the Effective Date shall not exceed $20,000,000 (which outstanding amount shall result only from borrowings of Revolving Loans the proceeds of which are used to finance the Offer (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and for fees and expenses related to the Merger); provided, further, (i) with regard to each Revolving Lender individually, such Lender’s share of outstanding Revolving Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount and (ii) with regard to the Revolving Lenders collectively, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Obligations shall not exceed ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000) (as such aggregate maximum amount may from time to time be increased pursuant to Section 2.6 or reduced as provided in Section 3.3). Revolving Loans may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrowers may request and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided, however, that no more than six Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time with respect to Revolving Loans. For purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they begin on the same date and have the same duration, 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.
Increase of the Commitments (a) The Borrower may, from time to time, request by written notice to the Administrative Agent to increase the Commitments by a maximum aggregate amount for all such increases of up to $200,000,000, by designating one or more Lenders or other financial institutions (that will become Lenders), in each case, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and acceptable to the Swingline Lender and each LC Issuing Bank, in their respective sole discretion, that agree to accept all or a portion of such additional Commitments (each a “Designated Lender”).
(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Designated Lenders of the Borrower’s request pursuant to subsection (a) above. Each Designated Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent by the date specified by the Administrative Agent (which date shall be a Business Day) that either (A) such Designated Lender declines to accept its additional Commitments or (B) such Designated Lender consents to accept the offered Commitments. Any Designated Lender not responding on or prior to the date specified by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to accept the offered Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall, after receiving the notifications from all of the Designated Lenders or following the date specified in the notice to such Designated Lenders, whichever is earlier, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the results thereof and the effective date of any additional Commitments. The effectiveness of such additional Commitments shall be subject to the condition precedent that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (i) the resolutions of the Borrower authorizing such additional Commitments and all Governmental Approvals (if any) required in connection with such additional Commitments, certified as being in effect as of the effective date of such additional Commitments, (ii) a favorable opinion of counsel for the Borrower as to such matters as any Lender through the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (iii) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, dated as of the effective date of such additional Commitments, stating that all conditions precedent to an Extension of Credit have been satisfied on and as of such effective date.
(c) Promptly following the effective date of any Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.07, (i) the Administrative Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule I to this Agreement (which shall thereafter be incorporated into this Agreement) to reflect any changes in Lenders, the Commitments and each Lender’s Commitment Percentage as of such effective date and (ii) the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding Revolving Borrowings (if any) in full, and shall simultaneously make new Revolving Borrowings hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Borrowings are held ratably by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (after giving effect to such Commitment increase). Prepayments made under this clause (c) shall not be subject to the notice requirements of Section 2.14.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, from and after the date of any Commitment increase and the making of any Loans on such date pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above, all calculations and payments of fees and of interest on the Loans shall take into account the actual Commitment of each Lender and the principal amount outstanding of each Loan made by such Lender during the relevant period of time.
L/C Commitment (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue Letters of Credit upon the request and for the account of the Borrower (and for the benefit of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower) on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of Credit if, (i) after giving effect to such issuance, (A) the L/C Exposure would exceed the L/C Commitment or (B) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero or (C) unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Lender, the L/C Exposure with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed such Issuing Lender’s Specified L/C Commitment or (ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 5.2 shall not have been satisfied. On the Restatement Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for the account of the Borrower. 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 Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended, so long as the Available Revolving Commitments of all Continuing Lenders would equal or exceed zero following such extension); provided, however, that any Letter of Credit, whether newly requested or an existing Letter of Credit that is extended or automatically renewed, may have an expiration date after the Revolving Termination Date (so long as such expiration date remains in compliance with clause (x) above) so long as the Borrower cash collateralizes such Letter of Credit at 101% of the available face amount of such Letter of Credit on or prior to the date which is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date and the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Lender providing such Letter of Credit agree to such expiration date at the time such Letter of Credit or extension is requested or at the time such existing Letter of Credit is to be automatically renewed, as applicable; provided further that any Letter of Credit (other than a Letter of Credit to which Section 2.18(c)(ii) applies) with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall only extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above if the condition described in the first proviso of this sentence is satisfied).
(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall by its terms (x) purport to enjoin such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Lender shall prohibit such Issuing Lender from the issuance of letters of credit, generally, or such Letter of Credit, in particular or (y) impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to any such Letter of Credit any reserve, capital or liquidity requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not compensated hereunder or otherwise by agreement of the Borrower) not in effect on the Restatement Effective Date or impose on such Issuing Lender any loss, cost or expense (for which such Issuing Lender is not compensated hereunder or otherwise by agreement of the Borrower) which such Issuing Lender in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it or (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate the legal, regulatory or compliance policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally, in each case, to the extent such policies and prohibitions are implemented to comply with applicable law or regulation binding upon such Issuing Lender and are being applied with respect to the Borrower consistently with such application thereof to all similarly situated Borrowers under similar circumstances.
