The Letter of Credit Subfacility (a) On the terms and conditions set forth herein: (i) the Issuing Lender agrees, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Restatement Date to the Revolving Termination Date to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Company, and to amend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsections 3.2(c) and 3.2(d), and (B) to honor drawings which comply with the terms of the Letters of Credit Issued by it; and (ii) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit Issued for the account of the Company; provided that the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to Issue, and no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter of Credit if as of the date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit (the "Issuance Date") (1) the sum of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations plus the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans plus the Effective Amount of all Swingline Loans exceeds the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of all Revolving Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base, (2) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the amount of the L/C Commitment or (3) with respect to any particular Revolving Lender, the sum of the participation of such Revolving Lender in the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations plus the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lender shall exceed such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company's ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and, accordingly, the Company may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit which have expired or which have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
Issuance of Letter of Credit Upon satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with subsection 10.6) of the conditions set forth in subsection 4.3, the Issuing Lender shall issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Lender's standard operating procedures.
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”), by making payment in Dollars (in the case of all Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit), Euros (in the case of Euro Denominated Letters of Credit) or Sterling (in the case of Sterling Denominated Letters of Credit) 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 1:00 P.M. (New York City 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 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day following notice to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the respective Issuing Lender of such payment or disbursement, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the respective Account Party) at a rate per annum which shall be (x) in the case of Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit, Sterling Denominated Letters of Credit, the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans in each case maintained as Base Rate Loans, as in effect from time to time plus 2% and (y) in the case of Euro Denominated Letters of Credit, the Overnight Euro Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Euro Denominated Loans as in effect from time to time plus any Mandatory Costs plus 2%, in each such case, with interest to be payable on demand, provided further, that it is understood and agreed, however, that the notices referred to above in this clause (a) and in the immediately preceding proviso shall not 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 Drawings shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by each Credit Party) and shall bear interest at the rate provided in the foregoing proviso on and after the third Business Day following the respective Drawing). The respective Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit, provided that the failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement.
The Letter of Credit Facility (i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (A) Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance on the Agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section (1) to issue Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date hereof until 10 days before the Termination Date in an aggregate Available Amount for all Letters of Credit not to exceed at any time the lesser of (x) the Letter of Credit Facility at such time and (y) the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at such time (provided that in no event shall the Issuing Bank be required to issue a Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders shall exceed the Revolving Credit Availability at such time) and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.16, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit, and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Borrower and any drawings thereunder. Each request by a Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that the issuance, extension or amendment of the Letter of Credit so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly such Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
Letter of Credit Subfeature As a subfeature under the Line of Credit, Bank agrees from time to time during the term thereof to issue or cause an affiliate to issue standby letters of credit for the account of Borrower (each, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, “Letters of Credit”); provided however, that the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00). The form and substance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by Bank, in its sole discretion. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term not to exceed Three Hundred Sixty-five (365) days, as designated by Borrower; provided however, that no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date subsequent to the maturity date of the Line of Credit. The actual undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit shall be reserved under the Line of Credit and shall not be available for borrowings thereunder. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit agreements, applications and any related documents required by Bank in connection with the issuance thereof. Each drawing paid under a Letter of Credit shall be deemed an advance under the Line of Credit and shall be repaid by Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such advances; provided however, that if advances under the Line of Credit are not available, for any reason, at the time any drawing is paid, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the full amount drawn, together with interest thereon from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrower, at the rate of interest applicable to advances under the Line of Credit. In such event Borrower agrees that Bank, in its sole discretion, may debit any account maintained by Borrower with Bank for the amount of any such drawing.
Effect of Letter of Credit Application To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.
Letter of Credit Subfacility (a) During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, the Borrower may request the issuance of standby Letters of Credit to support obligations of a Subsidiary of the Parent which finance the working capital and business needs of a Subsidiary of the Parent by delivering to the Issuing Bank a completed Application for letters of credit in such form and with such other certificates, documents and information as the Issuing Bank may specify from time to time by no later than 12:00 noon, Philadelphia time, at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Bank) in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Each Application for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be accompanied by an issuance fee based upon the Issuing Bank’s standard schedule of fees charged for issuing letters of credit as such may be amended from time to time. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section, the Issuing Bank will issue a Letter of Credit, provided, that each Letter of Credit shall (i) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and (ii) in no event expire later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and provided further, that in no event shall the amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations at any one time exceed the lesser of (i) the L/C Sublimit and (ii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments minus the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding. The Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Bank or any Letter of Credit Participant to exceed, any limits imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrower hereby agree that the Issuing Bank may issue upon the Borrower’s request, one or more Letter(s) of Credit which by its or their terms may be extended for additional periods of up to one year each provided that (I) the initial expiration date (or any subsequent expiration date) of each such Letter of Credit is not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and (II) renewal of such Letter(s) of Credit, at the Issuing Bank’s discretion, shall be available upon written request from the Borrower to the Issuing Bank at least thirty (30) days (or such other time period as agreed by the Borrower and the Issuing Bank) before the date upon which notice of renewal is otherwise required. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (“UCP”) or the International Standby Practices (ISP98 International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590 (“ISP98”)), as determined by the Issuing Bank.
