Swingline Loans (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $5,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
Letter of Credit Participations (a) Immediately upon the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender (each such Revolving Credit Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3, an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in each Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided that the Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided in Section 4.1(b) and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees.
Swingline Loan Subfacility During the Availability Period for the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make certain revolving credit loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Revolving Credit Borrowers in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day provided that, (a) the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Committed Amount, (b) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Credit Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (c) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Line Cap, and (d) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Dollar Cap. Swingline Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan if any Credit Party shall have notified the Swingline Lender and the Revolving Credit Borrowers in writing at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Borrowing Date with respect to such Swingline Loan, that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied and such conditions remain unsatisfied as of the requested time of the making such Swingline Loan. Each Swingline Loan shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of (a) the Swingline Termination Date, or (b) such earlier maturity date as may be agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Revolving Credit Borrowers. Swingline Loans may only be Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings and may not be SOFR Borrowings.
Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans The Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within one Business Day of demand therefor by the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made; provided, that the proceeds of a Swingline Loan may not be used to pay a Swingline Loan. Any Swingline Lender making demand for repayment of a Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such demand on the date such demand is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Maturity Date (or such earlier date as a Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree in writing with respect to Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender). In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrower, the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs each applicable Swingline Lender to act on its behalf for such purpose), request a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans from the Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan. The amount limitations contained in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of such Revolving Loans made pursuant to this subsection. Such Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such borrowing of Revolving Loans not later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time at least one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Promptly after receipt of such notice of borrowing of Revolving Loans from a Swingline Lender under the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the proposed date of such borrowing, each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to the applicable Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. If the Lenders are prohibited from making Revolving Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the occurrence of any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.1.(e) or (f), each Lender shall purchase from the applicable Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds. A Lender’s obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.1. (e) or (f)), or the termination of any Lender’s Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the applicable Swingline Lender by any Lender, such Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the applicable Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, the applicable Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Loans, and any other amounts due it hereunder, to the applicable Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).
Lender Participations (a) Although any Lender may grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer by novation its rights and obligations or assign its rights under all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.12 and 13.01) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and
Swingline Advances In addition to the other options available to Borrower hereunder, the Swingline Commitment shall be available for Swingline Advances subject to the following terms and conditions. Swingline Advances shall be made available for same day borrowings provided that notice is given in accordance with Section 2.9 hereof. All Swingline Advances shall bear interest at the Base Rate. In no event shall the Swingline Lender be required to fund a Swingline Advance if it would increase the total aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans by Swingline Lender hereunder plus its Revolving Percentage of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations to an amount in excess of the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No Swingline Advance may be made to repay a Swingline Advance, but Borrower may repay Swingline Advances from subsequent pro rata Advances hereunder. On the fifth (5th) day after such a Swingline Advance was made, if such Swingline Advance has not been repaid by Borrower, each Revolving Lender irrevocably agrees to purchase its Revolving Percentage of any Swingline Advance made by the Swingline Lender regardless of whether the conditions for disbursement are satisfied at the time of such purchase, including the existence of an Unmatured Default or Default hereunder provided that Swingline Lender did not have actual knowledge of such Unmatured Default or Default at the time the Swingline Advance was made and provided further that no Lender shall be required to have total outstanding Revolving Loans plus its Revolving Percentage of Facility Letters of Credit exceed its Revolving Commitment. Such purchase shall take place on the date of the request by Swingline Lender so long as such request is made by noon (Cleveland time), and otherwise on the Business Day following such request. All requests for purchase shall be in writing. From and after the date it is so purchased, each such Swingline Advance shall, to the extent purchased, (i) be treated as a Revolving Loan made by the purchasing Revolving Lenders and not by the selling Revolving Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and the payment of the purchase price by a Lender shall be deemed to be the making of a Revolving Loan by such Revolving Lender and shall constitute outstanding principal under such Revolving Lender’s Note, and (ii) shall no longer be considered a Swingline Advance except that all interest accruing on or attributable to such Swingline Advance for the period prior to the date of such purchase shall be paid when due by Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Swingline Lender and all such amounts accruing on or attributable to such Revolving Loans for the period from and after the date of such purchase shall be paid when due by Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the purchasing Revolving Lenders. If prior to purchasing its Revolving Percentage of a Swingline Advance one of the events described in Section 7.7 shall have occurred and such event prevents the consummation of the purchase contemplated by preceding provisions, each Lender will purchase an undivided participating interest in the outstanding Swingline Advance in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Advance. From and after the date of each Revolving Lender’s purchase of its participating interest in a Swingline Advance, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment was received by the Swingline Lender and is required to be returned to Borrower, each Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swingline Lender to it. If any Revolving Lender fails to so purchase its Revolving Percentage of any Swingline Advance, such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.16, the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loan at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swingline Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with Section 10.14 and the Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein, except to the extent the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender that are satisfactory to the Swingline Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral.
Letter of Credit Participation See Section 4.1.4.
Participations by Lenders in Swingline Loans The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., Atlanta, Georgia time on any Business Day, require the Lenders of the applicable Class to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans of such Class outstanding. Such notice to the Administrative Agent shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which the applicable Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each applicable Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Dollar Percentage or Applicable Multicurrency Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above in this paragraph, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Dollar Percentage or Applicable Multicurrency Percentage, as the case may be, of such Swingline Loan or Loans; provided that no Lender shall be required to purchase a participation in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) if (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 would not be satisfied in respect of a Borrowing at the time such Swingline Loan was made and (y) the Required Lenders of the respective Class shall have so notified the Swingline Lender in writing and shall not have subsequently determined that the circumstances giving rise to such conditions not being satisfied no longer exist. Subject to the foregoing, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph (c) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments of the respective Class, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
