Term Loan Facility Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make Loans to the Borrower during the period from the Closing Date to June 8, 2012, in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Commitment. The Borrower from time to time may borrow under the Term Loan Facility (and may reborrow any amount theretofore prepaid) until close of business on June 8, 2012, for a term not to exceed 364 days from the date of the Borrowing. Each such loan under the Term Loan Facility (a “Term Loan”) shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 and shall become due and payable on the last day of the term selected by the Borrower for such Term Loan (the “Term Loan Maturity Date”), which shall in no event be later than 364 days from the date of such Term Loan. The maximum availability under the Term Loan Facility shall be the amount of the Credit minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and Term Loans made by the Lenders; provided, however, that to the extent the proceeds of a Term Loan are used to repay an outstanding Revolving Loan (or a portion thereof), such Revolving Loan (or portion thereof) shall not be considered part of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made by the Lenders for purposes of this sentence (such maximum availability hereafter being referred to as the “Term Loan Availability”). Under no circumstances shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and Revolving Loans made by the Lenders exceed the Credit, and under no circumstances shall any Lender be obligated (i) to make any Term Loan (nor may the Borrower reborrow any amount heretofore prepaid) after June 8, 2012, or (ii) to make any Term Loan in excess of the Term Loan Availability. Each Term Loan made hereunder shall fully and finally mature and be due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date specified in the Borrowing Advice for such Term Loan; provided, however, that to the extent the Borrowing Advice for any Term Loan selects an Interest Period that expires before the Term Loan Maturity Date specified in such Borrowing Advice, the Borrower may from time to time select additional interest rate options and Interest Periods (none of which shall extend beyond the Term Loan Maturity Date for such Term Loan) by delivering a Borrowing Advice or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as applicable.
Term Loan B Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Term Loan B Lender, severally and not jointly, will make a term loan to Borrowers in the amount equal to such Term Loan B Lender’s Term Loan B Commitment Percentage of $21,500,000 (the “Term Loan B”). The Term Loan B shall be advanced on the Closing Date and shall be, with respect to principal, payable as follows, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement: on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days after the last day of each fiscal quarter (each a “True-Up Date”), commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2017 and continuing thereafter through and including the last such date occurring immediately prior to the end of the Term, Borrowers shall repay the Term Loan B in an amount equal to the greater of (x) $537,500 and (y) the Term Loan B Lenders Pro Rata Share of the lesser of (I) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the most recently ended prior fiscal quarter for which financial statements were delivered to Agents and (II) 50% of the Maximum True Up Amount (provided that Borrowers shall pay the amount set forth in the foregoing clause (x) no later than the first Business Day following the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2017 and continuing thereafter through and including the last such date occurring immediately prior to the end of the Term (it being understood and agreed that if the amount calculated pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) for each such period exceeds the amount set forth in the foregoing clause (x), the difference thereof (if any) shall be paid by Borrowers no later than the applicable True-Up Date)), followed by a final payment of all unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all unpaid fees and expenses upon expiration of the Term. The Term Loan B shall be evidenced by one or more Term Notes. Term Loan B shall consist of LIBOR Rate Index Loans only.
Term Loan A Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders will make advances of their respective Term Loan A Commitment Percentages of a term loan (the “Term Loan A”) in an amount not to exceed the Term Loan A Commitment, which Term Loan A will be disbursed to the Borrower in Dollars in a single advance on the Closing Date. The Term Loan A may consist of Base Rate Loans, Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request. Amounts repaid on the Term Loan A may not be reborrowed.
SPV Lender Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.6, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This Section 13.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of the SPV. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) no SPV shall be entitled to any greater rights under Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to absent the use of such SPV and (y) each SPV agrees to be subject to the requirements of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 as though it were a Lender and has acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6.
Amendment of Credit Agreement The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
Revolving Loan Borrowings (i) Each Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than (x) 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the date of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, and (y) 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day of a Base Rate Borrowing, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier, telex, cable or electronic mail. Each notice of a Revolving Loan Borrowing (a “Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing”) shall be made in the form of a written Loan Notice, or orally and confirmed immediately in writing, by telecopier, telex, cable or electronic mail, in the form of a written Loan Notice, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Revolving Loan Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) Type of Revolving Loan comprising such Revolving Loan Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Revolving Loan Borrowing and (iv) in the case of a Revolving Loan Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period for each such Revolving Loan. Each Lender shall (A) before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing (in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing) and (B) before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing (in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing), make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing (based upon its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage). After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower in such manner as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may agree; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Swing Loan and Letter of Credit Loans as to which the Borrower has received timely notice made by the Swing Loan Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and by any other Lender and outstanding on the date of such Revolving Loan Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date, available to the Swing Loan Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and such other Lenders for repayment of such Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Loans.
Loan Commitment Disbursement to Borrower Except as expressly and specifically set forth herein, Lender has no obligation or other commitment to loan any funds to Borrower or otherwise make disbursements to Borrower. Borrower hereby waives any right Borrower may have to make any claim to the contrary.
Term Loan Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid on the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as further provided herein, provided, however, all Borrowings made on the Closing Date shall be made as Base Rate Loans.
Incorporation of Credit Agreement The provisions contained in Sections 11.9 and 11.13 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference to the same extent as if reproduced herein in their entirety, except with reference to this Amendment rather than the Credit Agreement.
Initial Borrowing Base For the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the first Redetermination Date, the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be $2,250,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowing Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to Section 2.14(e), (f) and (g).
